After the introduction of new Eye & Face accessory scrolls, it allowed for players to have a safer progression of equips and not give up (ragequit) on scrolling certain equips and/or having something to look forward to. I think it was a smart move altogether and was a nice mixup by the Staff. Thinking on it now, I think Staff, in their next progression of equips in the future is probably looking at how to change up scrolling shoes, in my opinion. It could allow for some variation in gears for lower level players before they transition to Facestompers/Red Sock/Von Leon boots. In the current Shoe scroll progression, you're mainly limited to Shoes for Jump scrolls for the DEX stat and on the small side Avoid scrolls for mules/accuracy. While DEX is a near universal stat for everyone, I feel like it limits potential equips. If you're a Warrior who has a good scroll Sad Mask, DEX Bathrobe, and Maple weapon, then you won't get much value in scrolling shoes with Shoes for Jump besides the jump/speed stats that come along with the scroll. Or if you're a Bowman and you'd like to get some additional strength then you have just have to increase your base STR (to apr later) and to use your shoes for mainly DEX stat. Thief players who may have too much base dex or are lukless only have a choice of Shoes for Jump scrolls or just a non-scrolled high luk shoe. I think having Shoes for STR/INT/LUK could add some interesting gearing for the lower level players (and for merchanters to play around with). What if you could scroll a 25str Blue Crescent Shoes? Or giving Mages the option to scroll Mage shoes with INT/MA scroll instead of relying on Chaos Scrolls just to get some decent gains? Or maybe having 10luk slime shoes or Yellow Socks from the Christmas Event? Let me give example of "what if" stats: (Please note that these are made up numbers and are therefore not to be taken too seriously and doesn't reflect what Matt or the Staff would implement) What you guys may be wondering is, where could you get these scrolls if such scrolls were introduced? My thoughts lie with giving a chance of acquiring them from deserted PQs such as OPQ, Lmpq, MPQ, and possibly Ellin Forest PQ (at the end as randomized reward). A better chance of acquiring them from MPQ (rebalanced for lv90+ imo) and Ellinpq would be my ideal scenario. But they could also drop from certain mobs or be part of quest rewards too. ------------------------------------------ Now the next part I want to touch on is Shoe for Attack (ATT) scrolls. I think Shoes for Attack scrolls, it would require planning on Staff's side and solely come from Pink Bean. Now, I'm sure everyone will be rolling their eyes... but if Pink Bean does come along, I think it'd be a good idea to add Shoes for ATT as a reward to Pink Bean. Why? Pink Bean is probably the last content and will be the final expedition every veteran player hopes to defeat. They'd want to be rewarded good for getting as strong as they did and conquering Pink Bean (if they can, lol). I know Reverse/Timeless Weapons and Maple Warrior 30 will drop from PB, but I think Shoes for ATT will be important. The reason as to why it's important is that it'll help to make class-specific Reverse/Timeless shoes be relevant as they'd be automatically inferior to Facestompers/Red Socks/Von Leon boots. I think adding a bonus success rate or having a crafting to make a Reverse/Timeless Shoe Att scroll that has a higher success rate that you can pass on the shoes will allow the shoes to potentially compete with the Meta Attack Shoes as you'll have Base Stats + Level up Stats + Class Skill Plus One. Though this may be too cumbersome for veterans as they might already have 24+ attack shoes and don't see the need of scrolling shoes with ATT vs cs'ing normal Attack shoes. So getting feedback might be important. If Staff adds another super strong boss, then a weaker Shoes for ATT scroll could work (or adding to VL, maybe?). But you'd get the strongest version of the scroll from Pink Bean. ------- Thanks for taking the time to read my suggestion
Closing due to lack of community support. If we ever have plans for such scrolls we will check back with your suggestion. Thank you!
Well, I don't know, but I think it's nice to add those scrolls and give it a little more variety in how you get around, not just att, but stats as well. PS: I didn't know this thread existed, I would have supported it sooner xD
