    Never see any on sale, so I figured I'd try to make one. I'm trying to figure out what has the best balance of cost and odds. I was thinking of using 3 70%s and WSing, but with how 60%s are that may end up being more than the gloves are worth. I was trying 4 70% but already blew up two on the 4th scroll. Or should I just go straight for 5 70%s? (or 60 on the last slot)

    I think I have 1-2 failures left before I would have been better off straight buying them.

    Just go 70 70 70 70 70, best chance to succeed I guess

    Last time I did this analysis, you would statistically lose about 200m per attempt at scrolling one if you straight 60'd.

    Because of the way the prices of the results are weighted (13 and 15 are worth TONS, 11 and below are comparitively worth nothing) the most cost efficient way to scroll one if to go with 3 70s on the first 3 slots, and then 60 the last two. IIRC, doing so brought loses down into the double-digit millions (less than half of straight 60'ing.)

    Of course, statistics in maple don't always hold up. Doing it that way you may very well explode the glove on the first slot every time. It's just "mathematically" the right way to do it.

    White scrolling a 15 atk scg isn't going to be nearly worth it, unless scg prices keep rising, and ws prices get back to what they were this summer (180-200m) which I don't see happening.

    I'd just 70% first 4 slots, if they all have passed by that point I'd finish off with a 60%. 11 attack and below isn't worth enough to be afraid of booming.

    When I did the math, I thought about that. It's the second most effective method but you end up blowing up too many gloves on the 4th slot.

    I did basically assume that if a 70% failed it boomed, though because I always trend towards negatives in scrolling analysis.
