Scrolls are Shinobi Striker's lottery tickets. You earn them slowly, hand them to Tenten at the Ninja Tools Shop, and she appraises each one into a random costume, weapon or ninja tool. It is the part of the game where hours of play can still end in duplicates, which is why "max scrolls" is one of the first lines people look for on a modded save.
This guide explains how the scroll economy works, what max scrolls really gives you on our PS4 and PS5 saves, where money fits in, and how to spend a big stack without wasting it.
How scrolls work
The everyday currency for appraisals is the Esoteric Scroll. Community guides list four steady sources: levelling up, VR missions, online matches and master training rewards. Each appraisal consumes a scroll and returns one item, and the result is random within the scroll's pool, so a bigger stack means more rolls rather than better odds per roll.
Bandai Namco also sells Moonlight Scrolls. The Starter Pack includes ten, and a one-per-account pack of fifteen was released in January 2024 to celebrate the game passing 15 million users. According to Bandai Namco's own listings, Moonlight Scrolls appraise into items of equal rarity to the Esoteric Scrolls you earn in game. They are a paid top-up for the same lottery, not a way to pick your prize.
What max scrolls means on the save
The unlock-all save lists "Max scrolls" alongside unlock all including DLC, all clothes and the infinite perks. In practice that means a full stack waiting for you at the Ninja Tools Shop, so you can appraise as much as you like without farming first. It does not choose results for you: every roll is still Tenten's random pick, just with enough tickets that the randomness stops mattering.
Because the same save already lists all clothes and unlock all, the scroll stack works best as a reserve. Use it for anything the appraisal pool can give that you still want extra copies of, and keep the rest for items added after your order, which a save cannot contain in advance.
Where money fits in
Ryo is the game's money, and it is a separate line from scrolls. The Jiraiya save sets money to 2,147,483,647, the ceiling for that counter, but its listing does not mention scrolls. The unlock-all save lists max scrolls but does not mention money. If you want both a scroll stack and a maxed wallet, ask support which save fits before ordering rather than assuming, because buying both is not a fix: a second save replaces the first.

Farming scrolls yourself
If you would rather earn the stack, the efficient loop is simple: online matches for experience and level-up scrolls, then a set of VR missions you can clear quickly for scrolls and ryo together. Repeating a mission you finish in a couple of minutes beats grinding one you fail half the time. Our scroll and ryo farming guide lists routes, and the levelling guide covers the match side.
The honest catch is variance. You can farm for an evening and still not land the piece you wanted, and duplicates are part of the system. That is the gap a scroll stack closes: not by changing the odds, but by giving you enough rolls that a bad streak does not cost you a week.
Appraising a big stack without wasting it
Before you start rolling, decide what you are rolling for. Check which weapon and ninja tool categories your main loadouts still lack, then appraise in batches and stop to equip and test what you get. Spending a whole stack in one sitting makes it easy to miss that you already hit the piece you needed twenty rolls ago.
Keep a reserve too. Bandai Namco is still releasing content through Season Pass 10, and future updates may add items that a save applied today cannot include. Holding back part of the stack means you can roll for them on day one instead of farming from zero.
Which save to order
For scrolls specifically, the unlock-all save is the one that lists them. If maxed money, profile stats and the itemised cosmetic categories matter more, look at the Jiraiya save instead. Both are $50, both go onto your own PSN account, and both need PS Plus active on that account. The all clothes guide compares the cosmetic side in detail.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does max scrolls guarantee the items I want?
No. Each appraisal is still random. Max scrolls gives you enough rolls that the randomness stops being a barrier, but it does not let you pick results.
Does the Jiraiya save include max scrolls?
Scrolls are not on its listing. It sets money to 2,147,483,647 and lists all clothes, accessories, weapons and jutsu as unlocked, while max scrolls appear on the unlock-all save.
What is the difference between Esoteric and Moonlight Scrolls?
Esoteric Scrolls are earned by playing. Moonlight Scrolls come in paid packs from Bandai Namco, which says they appraise into items of equal rarity. Both are unsealed by Tenten at the Ninja Tools Shop.
Can I run out of scrolls after the save?
Every appraisal uses one, so heavy rolling will shrink the stack over time. You keep earning new scrolls the normal way while you play, which tops it back up.
Is the max scrolls save available on Xbox?
No. The scroll stack comes with the PlayStation unlock-all save, and neither save is offered for Xbox One, Series X|S or PC.
