To get things moving, you first need to be a Quincy. That sounds obvious, but you'd be surprised how many people jump into the game and expect things to just fall into their lap. Once you've got your basic Quincy powers, your main goal is to hit Level 15. This is the magic number where the game decides you're finally worth something. Once you hit that level, you need to head over to the Wandenreich and find the King. He's the guy who's going to grant you your Schrift, but he isn't just giving it away for free.
The Path to Awakening Your Power
After you talk to the King at Level 15, he's going to tell you that you aren't ready yet. Don't take it personally; it's just part of the grind. He'll send you off to go hunt down some "Hollow filth" or participate in the ongoing conflict. Essentially, you need to prove your worth by gaining experience and refining your connection to your Quincy bloodline.
The Meditation Phase
Once you've done enough legwork, you'll start the meditation process. This is a mini-game of sorts where you enter your inner world. If you've played as a Soul Reaper, it's somewhat similar to talking to your Zanpakuto spirit, but with a Quincy flavor. You'll see a prompt to meditate, and you'll need to complete a series of tasks. Usually, this involves a bit of a memory game or a reflection of your own abilities. It can be a little frustrating if you're impatient, but take your time. If you fail, you usually have to wait a bit before trying again.
Facing Your Inner Spirit
The climax of the Schrift quest is the boss fight. You'll have to face a manifestation of your powers. This fight is scaled to your level, but don't let that fool you into thinking it's easy. The AI can be pretty aggressive, and they have access to the same moves you do. The trick here is to play defensively. Quincies are great at kiting and picking their shots. Don't just rush in swinging your seele schneider and hoping for the best. Use your dashes, time your blocks, and wait for an opening.
Understanding the Different Schrift Types
Once you beat the boss, you'll finally receive your Schrift. The game randomly assigns you one based on a rarity system. Some are definitely better for PvP, while others excel at grinding out NPCs. Here's a quick breakdown of what you might end up with.
Common Schrifts
Don't feel bad if you pull a common one. They're still a huge upgrade over having nothing. * The Iron: This one is all about durability. If you like being a tank and soaking up damage while your teammates do the heavy lifting, this is for you. * The Forest: This gives you some interesting crowd control options. It's great for pestering enemies and keeping them at a distance.
Rare and Legendary Schrifts
If you're lucky enough to roll one of these, you're in for a treat. * The Apocalypse: This is a fan favorite for a reason. It deals massive damage and looks incredibly cool. It's perfect for players who want to end fights as quickly as possible. * The Miracle: This one is incredibly strong for survivability. It has mechanics that can basically save you from death, making it a nightmare to fight against in a 1v1 scenario. * The Balance: Arguably one of the best in the game, it allows you to manipulate "misfortune," reflecting damage and making life generally miserable for your opponent.
Taking it to the Next Level: Vollständig
Getting your Schrift is great, but it's only half the battle. If you want to reach the true endgame for a Quincy, you need to unlock your Vollständig. This is the second stage of your Schrift, and it's where you get those iconic wings and a massive stat boost.
To even think about Vollständig, you need to be at least Level 85. But it's not just about the level; it's about the "points." You earn these points by doing things like successful invasions, winning Time Gates, and defeating the Large Hollows or Bosses. It's a long grind, and there's no real shortcut. Most players find that hanging out in the Discord or finding a solid group to run invasions with makes the process a whole lot faster.
Once you have enough points and the right level, you go back to your inner world for a much harder fight. This boss fight is legendary for being a "skill check." If you haven't mastered your Quincy mechanics by now, this boss will make sure you learn.
Quick Tips for Success
If you're struggling with the process, here are a few things I've noticed that help: * Don't ignore your stats: Make sure you're putting points into the right build for your Schrift. If you have a strength-based Schrift but you've put all your points into Spirit, you're going to have a bad time. * Practice your perfect dodges: In Peroxide, dodging is everything. If you can't hit your perfect dodges consistently, the Schrift boss and the Vollständig boss will eat you alive. * Join a community: Whether it's a faction or just a group of friends, having people to run content with makes the point-grinding phase for Vollständig way less soul-crushing. * Reroll if you have to: If you really hate the Schrift you got, you can use Essence to reroll it. Just keep in mind that Essence can be hard to come by unless you're willing to spend some Robux or grind out some very specific events.
Why the Schrift Matters
In the grand scheme of Peroxide, the Schrift is what defines your identity as a Quincy. It changes how you approach every fight. Are you a hit-and-run specialist with the Apocalypse, or are you an immovable object with the Iron?
It's also worth noting that the developers are pretty active, so the meta shifts. What might be "trash" one week could get a buff the next. Don't be too quick to get rid of a Schrift just because a tier list said it's C-tier. Sometimes, the way a Schrift feels to you matters more than the raw numbers.
Wrapping Things Up
The journey to getting your Schrift is one of the most rewarding parts of playing as a Quincy. It's that moment where you stop being a target for every wandering Hollow and start becoming the one doing the hunting. It takes some patience—especially that Level 15 to Level 85 jump—but once you're flying around in your Vollständig form, you'll realize it was worth every second of the grind.
Just remember to keep your head cool during the boss fights, keep an eye on your stats, and don't be afraid to ask for help in the Wandenreich. Most high-level Quincies are happy to give advice, mostly because we've all been through the same struggle. Good luck out there, and hopefully, you get that Legendary roll on your first try!
