The Secret (well not really...) to Getting Components
Components are available in special Tier 8 chests found in Society Strongholds and the Mana Forge bunkers found in the capital cities. Certain chests are rigged so they have an extremely high chance to spawn components instead of armor, weapons, or anything else. This doesn't mean that Tier 8 chests can't spawn items other than components but they do so at a far lower rate than other chests. In fact many times you will find chests that only have components in them. When a chest has only components there is a simple and classic AC trick to determine what you are getting. Just look at the burden of the chest. The base burden is 5000 for society chests (9000 for Mana Forge chests) so everything above 5000 with the contents of the chest. Knowing these numbers can help you maximize your pulls from the chests. To use the BU to assess each chest you must know the BU of the different components:
Quill: 4 BU
Ink: 30 BU
Glyph: 25 BU
So lets say you have a chest with 109 burden. So think about it for a second and you'll find that the chest contains 3 Glyphs (75 BU), 1 Ink (30 BU), and 1 quill (4 BU) = 109 BU. Now you have to ask yourself do you need glyphs or do you need inks and quills? If you need glyphs this chests would be a pretty solid bet but if you need quills then maybe not. There is also the point of maximizing the amount of components you get. Some chests will spawn with only 3 components so you might want to look for a chest with 4 or 5 instead. However, if 4 out of 5 of the items are inks and you need quills that chest really won't help you.
This method only helps you figure out what type of component you will get (quill, ink, or glyph). It will not help you beat the random generator which may give you 3 monster appraisal glyphs. However, if you choose chest pulls with lots of glyphs your odds of getting a good glyph will be drastically increased. This method is also really hard to use on the society chest because there is only one of them as opposed to the nine mana forge chests you can check. The mana forge chests kind of let you shop around for the BU you want. Also this method is useless on a chest that happens to spawn a weapon or armor piece.

Level VIII Scroll Creation
During the Ancient Powers event, a new crafting system for level VIII spell scroll creation was introduced. Some of these spells were previously available on a small number of quest items, however many are brand new. The components (quills, inks, and glyphs) can only be obtained in the new highest tier treasure profiles which currently on appears in special chests and never drops on creatures as loot. Quills may be combined with the Mana Scarabs (which are also the casting scarab for level 8 spells and can be purchased from certain vendors) in order to craft infused quills. Infused quills may be crafted with inks to create a combination of the two. This combination may then be crafted with a glyph to create a level 8 scroll. All components involved in making a scroll (quill, mana scarab, ink, and glyph) are consumed in the process of successfully making a scroll.
All components may also be traded or sold to a vendor, and the scrolls may likewise be traded or sold to a vendor. If crafting something you expected to work fails, very likely the spell simply does not exist for level 8. You will not lose components upon failed crafting, and there is no skill associated with level 8 spell crafting, so feel free to experiment safely with the various components and see what you may accomplish!
Steps in creating a level VIII Scroll:
- Add the quill to the mana scarab.
+ 
= 
- The mana scarab infuses the quill with its magical power.
- Add the infused quill to the ink.
- +
= 
- You dip the quill into the magical ink, further empowering it.
- Add the enchanted quill to the glyph.
- +
= 
- You trace the rune with your enchanted quill and the pattern of the spell forms before you as a scroll.
This produces a tradable scroll which you can then learn as normal. Level 8 spells last for 90 minutes, or up to three hours with Augmentations.
Scroll Components
Quills
- Introspection - Beneficial Self
Benevolence - Beneficial Other
Infliction - War/Debuff (Other)
Extraction - Drain (Other)
Inks
- Formation - Self (can only be used with Introspection Quills)
Conveyance - Other (can only be used with Benevolence, Infliction and Extraction Quills)
Objectification - Item Spells
Nullification - Nullify (can be used with Introspection or Benevolence Quills)
War Spells (Can only be used with Infliction Quills):
Direction - Bolt
Parabolic - Arc
Partition - Blast
Separation - Volly
Alacritous - Streak
Casting Difficulty
When first introduced level VIII spells had a difficulty to cast of 455. In Risks and Rewards the difficulty was lowered to 400, meaning that 400 buffed magic skill will cast successfully 50% of the time. Here are some examples of casting success for a range of buffed values:

Known Formulas
Currently it is impossible to craft Creature Other Buffs, Life Other Buffs, Imperil, Self Debuffs, Defender, and Blood Drinker (Link). Life vulns were added during Seeds of Corruption.
