From what I've noticed on my characters...

You can scribe a single about 2/3 on a good day.
You can scribe a double about 1/25 on a good day.
You can scribe a triple once in a blue moon.

Maybe it depends on which spells you're scribing, or which scrolls you're using. In my experience, you'd get single about 2/3 the time and a double somewhere between 10 and 20 percent of the time. It's possible that scribing was made easier recently.

It seems much much better than older times.

That or I've experienced a consecutive streak of luck.

It was announced to have been made easier to make it somewhat profitable to resell scribed/brewed scrolls/vials.

Priests can brew:
o armor, bless, cure light, detect magic, refresh, create water, cure blindness, cure deafness, detect poison, frenzy, protection, cure serious, magical vestment, spirit sight, cancellation, create food, cure poison, know alignment, regeneration, remove curse, cure critical, cure disease, sanctuary, detect aura, heal, mass healing, word of recall
But priests can’t scribe.

Shamans can brew:
o armor, bless, cure light, refresh, create water, cure blindness, cure deafness, water breathing, cure serious, spirit sight, create food, cure poison, infravision, regeneration, remove curse, cure critical, dispel magic, frenzy, spirit aura, cure disease, heal, sanctuary, spirit horde, word of recall
But Shamans also can’t scribe.

Sorcerors can’t brew, but they CAN scribe:

o armor, change sex, detect buried, detect magic, magic missile, ventriloquate, color spray, continual light, detect hidden, detect invis, fly, invis, enlarge, giant strength, identify, infravision, shrink, sleep, acid blast, cancellation, mirror image, shield, teleport, understand, airy water, charm person, dispel magic, etherealform, haste, tongues, locate object, mass invis, polymorph, summon, detect aura, enchant armor, enchant weapon, recharge, depetrification, gate, petrification, spell ward


Warlocks can brew:
o create spring, detect buried, healing rays, detect hidden, detect invis, detect poison, fly, infravision, invis, water breathing, cure poison, resist elements, mass invis, stone skin, ironguard
Warlocks can’t scribe.

Necromancers can’t brew, but CAN scribe:

o armor, cause light, death shroud, detect magic, blindness, chill touch, continual light, deafness, detect hidden, detect invis, animate dead, cause serious, fly, identify, sleep, weaken, curse, infravision, poison, shield, slow, teleport, cause critical, dispel magic, feeblemind, plague, fear, locate object, summon, vampiric touch, control undead, detect aura, recharge, rift, energy drain, spell ward, finger of death


There are probably some mistakes in there, but that's the list I came up with based on what you all told me, and the list of spells on the main site.

Sorry, but I still have a few more questions:
My character came across a scroll of lightning bolt,chainlightning, call lightning. Or something. I also remember getting a scroll with earthquake. What's up with that? (all are spells that belong to brewing classes, I think)

Does the same person have to scribe/brew on the same scroll or vial? Suppose I wanna be fancy and have a capted test tube of stone skin and sanctuary. Can I go to two different people for that? Or is something done being brewable when it's handed back?

Lastly, I know that the power of a scribed spell has absolutely nothing to do with the level/skill of the scriber. Just the scroll. Does the same go for potions? How many levels of strength are there for scroll's power? How much of a power difference is between a weak scroll and an average (or whatever) scroll?

Weird scrolls such as call lightning, holy word, etc are just items in the game, they cannot be reproduced by players.

Scroll/potion strength is indeed based on the item itself. They come in underpowered/weak/strong/powerful (I don't think I've ever seen a "normal" powered one).

Two different people can help create vials/scrolls so you CAN have things like 'a scroll of finger of death, acid blast, energy drain' that are created by players.

The only reason why you don't see people making scrolls of holy word, call lightning, ect, is because none of the classes that have those skills can scribe.

You should be able to brew stuff from differant people in the same vial. It maybe quite difficult to succeed with, but I don't recall anything ever stopping someone from doing it. I believe I've had vials of sanctuary and heal done from differant people and in the same vial before in the past.
