SCROOMS Scroomdex

The Scroomdex is the practical collection center for SCROOMS. In the game, the tool is called the Index and sits in hotbar slot 3 during the opening route. Open it to see area pages, discovered species, silhouettes for missing entries, rarity, frequency ranges, and tone progress. Use this hub when you know the kind of information you need but not which page answers it.

The official experience description confirms the range from common Redcaps to the rarest Eversung, while official badges confirm Index completion goals for several named regions. Full species names and frequency bands come from current community Index readings, so the live card in your server remains the final value for a specific hunt.

Choose the right lookup

Start with the list when you need a name or area. Open the rarity guide when your question is about how the tiers relate. Use the frequency guide when a species is known but your instrument cannot reach or comfortably tune its displayed band.

Read one Index card correctly

Select an area tab, then choose a card. A discovered card gives you the creature’s name and other known fields; an undiscovered card can remain a silhouette marked ??? while still showing useful category information. Record the area, rarity, and frequency range separately. Those fields answer different questions.

Area tells you where the Index files the species. It does not prove that every spawn point is evenly distributed across that region. Rarity is the game’s collection tier, not a published percentage. Frequency is the tuning band associated with the card, not the chance of encountering it. Tone or prefix progress tracks variants such as Harmonic or Resonant rather than additional base species.

The area completion percentage can include more work than catching each base name once. Current Index reports describe separate tone goals, which is why a page can show unfinished progress after every obvious silhouette has been revealed. Open the selected species and inspect its tone slots before assuming the counter is broken.

Known area pages

Plan a collection session

Pick one area and one missing tier before leaving a safe point. Open the Index, note the silhouette’s rarity and frequency band, then check your equipped instrument’s Resonance and current stat card. This prevents a long search with a tool that cannot cover the displayed range.

Carry enough inventory space for repeated catches, but protect any creature named by an active quest. A species can count as discovered and still be required as a held turn-in. Selling everything at once is efficient only when the Quest Log does not ask for one of those catches.

When a candidate appears, confirm the result name rather than relying on color. Prefixes such as Harmonic or Resonant can make a familiar base species look or sound different. The base name should fill the base Index entry; the variant can fill an additional tone slot if the current card tracks it.

After a catch, reopen the Index and check the exact card. If the completion number did not move, look for unfinished tone slots or another silhouette in the same rarity. Do not assume the game discarded the catch until you have checked the result, inventory, and relevant card.

Rarity, frequency, and instrument choice

High rarity and high frequency are not interchangeable. Grove examples show different rarity tiers sharing a frequency band, while Common cards can sit in different bands. Choose an instrument because its current card can reach the target frequency and because its handling helps the catch stage; do not infer that a large Luck number guarantees a named rare species.

Resonance is the clearest reach field to compare, but community sources disagree on some launch cards. Open Equipment Bag → Instruments and use the displayed card in your server. Precision, Harmony, Tension, Luck, and Tune Speed may affect different parts of the encounter, but a field name alone is not enough to calculate a catch rate.

The instrument stats guide explains what each printed field is useful for diagnosing. The instrument list separates catching instruments from the Ocarina and Songtreads, which serve exploration rather than Scroom frequency coverage.

Troubleshoot missing progress

The area tab still says ???. Enter the region through its real access route first. An Index label can remain hidden before first discovery.

Every base name looks caught, but completion is not full. Open the cards and inspect variant or tone slots. Current reports describe Harmonic and Resonant progress beyond the first base catch.

A guide names a species that is not in your tab. Check the guide date, spelling, and area name. The Tall Trees versus Grave of the Gilded conflict is a known reason not to force two lists together.

Your instrument will not settle on the band. Compare the species card range with the equipped instrument’s Resonance and Tune Speed. Upgrade or switch tools before repeating the same impossible attempt.

You sold a quest creature. The Index discovery remains useful, but the NPC may still need the creature held. Catch another copy and keep it selected when you return.

Confidence and check date

Official sources establish the game identity, core tuning loop, Redcap/Eversung endpoints, named Index completion badges, Harmonic catches, and the existence of 15-instrument ownership progress. Community Index readings supply most full names, card counts, areas, and Hz ranges. Those fields were checked on October 24, 2026 and should be compared with the live Index after an update.
