Hey guys, New to the server and working on an lukless mage. I am trying to get a good enough detail on how scrolling works, but can't find a guide for it anywhere. Anyone mind explaining scrolling or know of a guide somewhere that would teach me the ropes? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Hello there! c: You can find a list of the scrolls available on the MapleRoyals library. There are 10%, 30%, 60%, 70% and 100% scrolls to use on various items to enhance them with various abilities/stats. The percentages are the % chance of the scroll working with you item. So, 100% scrolls will always work, while 10% scrolls will have a much smaller chance of working. However, the stats that a 10% gives is much better than one that's 10%. The number of "slots" (upgrades available) listed on an equip/weapon are the amount of times the item can be scrolled. The number will decrease after each scroll used on it. Scrolls disappear after use. There are also white and chaos scrolls that you can get from NLC and Mushroom Shrine gachas respectively. But, I wouldn't bother with scrolling with them until you're A) funded or B) know what you are doing. They are good to sell for roughly 420m (give or take) though. To scroll, you will need to be wearing the equipment you are trying to scroll. Then, drag and drop the scroll from your inventory onto the equipped item you want to enhance. HOWEVER, if you complete "The Wandering Alchemist Eurek's New Skill" quest, the reward from that quest is a "beginner" skill that allows you to scroll items without wearing them. You can buy scrolls from shops, get them from monster drops, and from gachapon. Some scrolls are useless, while some are incredibly sought after, therefore expensive. Be sure to check out selling threads and people's shops for prices on scrolls! For a mage, you'll be mainly looking for scrolls for INT or M.ATK. But you may also want to scroll other items to sell. That's a general overview. There are other details, but this is the basics of scrolling. I hope this helps? ♥ EDIT: I accidentally deleted half of the post. So I hope I covered most of the basics. c:
Thank you very much @Shinixter . A few additional questions: 1) Gear can break if failed scrolling? 2) I know that dark scrolls give more stats than that or normal scrolls, a normal 10% would be a 30% dark scroll. Is this true? 3) Would it be better to use normal scrolls or dark scrolls? 4) And is there a specific method to scrolling to lessen the amount of fails? Thank you very much!
1. If you use a 30% or 70% there is a chance your gear can boom. 2. 10% is usually similar to 30% (may be the exact same?) but the difference is the 30% can destroy your item. 3. Completely hypothetical, depends if you have white scrolls, etc..... check prices first. 4. People think 'dummy scrolling' (purposely failing scrolls) is a way to increase passing scrolls. This is not true.
@Bean Would you mind explaining the term "boom"? Additionally, without white scrolls, it is safer to use normal scrolls? And I'm going to assume since "dummy scrolling" is not a way then I it is safe to say that scrolling depends 100% on pure luck; which would mean keep scrolling into an item until all slots are successful?
@Hakuna Not a problem! Glad I can help you out a bit. As for your dark scrolls versus regular scrolls question, it's all luck. A few days ago I managed to successfully use 3 30% scrolls in a row on my Craven, but failed a 60% scroll on my top. I've passed a 10% on a glove and also had my items destroyed when I used 30s and 70s. Bottom line is just scroll when you feel lucky. LOL
Since this sort of is what I want to ask, I'll continue here, instead of making a new thread. As far as I understand scrolling is 100% about luck; but practice appears to belie that sometimes. Here and in EMS there seem to be people who appear to have a higher than average percentage of success. (Giving gear to be scrolled by that person on his/her 'lucky' char.) Combined with the following 'urban legends', 'rumours' and 'superstitions', there are grounds enough to dig a bit deeper. What do you think about these things I've heard over the years : 1- Scrolling is a skill that can be 'leveled up' in a way, by just doing it a lot. Similar to normal leveling. (Not talking about 'dummy scrolling': the amount of fails/successes in the past do not have any influence on the future i.e. gambler's fallacy.) 2- LUK stats have an influence on scrolling, so a char with high LUK stats is more likely to have success. 3- The higher the level of the char, the better the chances with scrolling. (Whether this is a byproduct of 1 and better funds or not.) 4- When a char is created, there is a random 'luck' number/level attached to it. This doesn't change and influences things like success in scrolling, (rare) drops and random rewards. (Yes, this goes into conspiracy territory, but just listing it as another thing I heard.) 5- All (or some) of the above combined. Again, these are not my point of view, I'm just curious what the general thoughts are. Is it really all just luck and perception? Or is there a technical(!) basis behind it?
