SCROOMS currently uses the rarity order Common → Uncommon → Rare → Wondrous → Fabled → Eversung in the documented Index. Rarity helps you identify the kind of missing card you are hunting, but it is not a public spawn percentage and does not tell you the frequency band by itself.
The official experience description names common Redcaps and the rarest Eversung, while official badges refer to Fabled and Eversung catches. The complete tier order and area counts come from current Index readings and are therefore best treated as community corroborated as of October 24, 2026.
What each tier means for your search
Common
Use Common cards to learn an area’s normal tuning ranges and catch-zone movement. Common does not mean every species appears at the same rate or frequency.
Uncommon
Expect fewer entries than the most basic tier, but follow the card and area rather than assuming a universal timer.
Rare
Prepare an instrument that covers the displayed range and keep your catch control consistent. The tier alone does not define the instrument you need.
Wondrous
These are later collection targets in several areas. Protect one when a quest requests a Wondrous catch rather than selling the whole inventory.
Fabled
Named official badges confirm Fabled streak and perfect-catch goals. Practice on easier catches before risking a difficult streak.
Eversung
The official description calls Eversung the rarest endpoint. Current community lists name The Pale Vessel and The Violet Fool, but live cards decide current placement.
Rarity is not frequency
Grove cards show why the two fields must stay separate. Redcap is Common at a low documented range, but Bluebell is also Common at a higher band. Florabella is Wondrous while sharing the reported 18.7–31.2 Hz band with Redcap. Koroom is Fabled and shares the reported 71.2–118.7 Hz band with the Rare Burlcap.
Those examples mean you cannot choose an instrument from rarity alone. Open the target card, read its frequency range, then compare the instrument’s Resonance. Use the frequency guide for that decision.
Base species versus tone variants
A prefix such as Harmonic or Resonant changes the catch’s variant status, not its base species identity. The official Harmonic Ear badge confirms that Harmonic Scrooms are a real goal. Current Index guides describe separate tone slots for base, Harmonic, and Resonant progress, with some completion goals asking for more than one form.
That is why catching every visible base name may not finish an area. Select each card and inspect its variant slots. A missing Harmonic form is a different task from a missing base silhouette, but it should not become a duplicate species row in your list.
Other prefixes appear in community records, including Melodic, Mossy, Wooden, Metallic, Frozen, Blazing, Runic, Verdant, and Charged. Do not assume every prefix uses the same rule or probability. Read the current result and any quest wording before deciding whether it is a tone, mutation, condition, or special requirement.
How to prepare for higher-tier catches
First make the three catch stages reliable on a common target: hit the timing input, settle the frequency control, and keep the Scroom inside the moving catch zone until the bar fills. The official description confirms that progress drains when the target slips out, so control matters even after you find a rare candidate.
Next, compare instrument reach and handling. Resonance is linked to frequency coverage in current guides. Tune Speed can shorten the tuning stage, while other printed fields may affect the timing or control experience. Exact effects and percentages should come from the live tooltip rather than a name-based guess.
Finally, decide whether the catch is for discovery, a streak, a perfect-catch badge, or a quest hand-in. A safe discovery attempt and a 10-catch Fabled/Eversung streak are different sessions. For a streak, practice first, reduce distractions, and avoid switching to an unfamiliar instrument immediately before the valuable target.
Do not convert counts into drop rates
The checked community list places 55 named Scrooms across five area groups and reports tier totals, but those totals only describe the roster. If an area has one Fabled card among 15, that does not prove a 1-in-15 spawn chance. Spawn weighting, time conditions, event conditions, and variant rolls can all differ.
Likewise, official badge award rates do not equal spawn rates. A badge’s completion percentage is affected by player progress, quitting, skill, route knowledge, and the time the experience has been live. Use badges to confirm that a goal exists, not to calculate odds.
A practical rarity hunt loop
- Choose one area and open its Index page.
- Identify the missing card’s rarity and visible frequency band.
- Equip an instrument that reaches the band and feels controllable.
- Clear inventory space while keeping active quest creatures.
- Search the area and confirm every result by name.
- Reopen the card after a catch to check base and tone progress.
- Stop or bank progress before fatigue turns a streak attempt into repeated escapes.
For Songkeeper’s Grove, the documented distribution is four Common, four Uncommon, three Rare, three Wondrous, and one Fabled. This is a useful checklist because all 15 names are currently documented. For later areas, use the Scrooms list and keep unresolved silhouettes unresolved rather than guessing.
FAQ
What is the rarest Scroom tier?
Eversung is the rarest named tier in the official game description. Current community lists place The Pale Vessel and The Violet Fool there, but check the live Index for current names and areas.
Does a higher rarity always use a higher frequency?
No. Documented Grove cards show different rarities sharing bands and Common species using different ranges. Frequency and rarity are separate fields.
Does Luck give the exact chance of a Fabled or Eversung?
No supported public formula connects a printed Luck value to the probability of a named species. Treat Luck as an instrument stat and avoid presenting it as a guaranteed percentage for one target.
Why is my area not complete after every base catch?
Inspect the card’s tone or variant slots. Current Index reporting describes additional Harmonic and Resonant progress beyond base discovery.
