    Yes I come to this thread a lot for advice and I need your help once again. I'm in a bit of a dilemma right now.


    I have a perfect clean dragon revolver which I planned to perfect but I can't seem to get the funds.

    So I'm thinking about selling this revolver and buying a perfect clean concerto + white scrolls from the funding of the revolver.

    I'm wondering if I should do this or not. Please help :)

    Thank you <3

    Sadly the only way to know if that is worth or not depends on how many 10% scrolls you land with those WS that you would buy with the extra mesos, so it could be really worth it if you are lucky or it could be a big mistake if you aren't.

    Based on previous sales you could afford ~15 WS with the extra mesos, which means that statistically you should land 1~2 slots with those scrolls which is a 1~6 att increase from your current gun. I'have seen people land 3 and even 4 10s in a row, but I have seen people fail 40~60 in a row too, since there is a chance that you could end up with a clean concerto and that the average increase is so low (1~6 att) I would just keep the revolver if I were you.

    Thank you for the response. If anyone could provide me with reasons to go along with this plan on selling the revolver, please do share. I want both sides of the story :)

    As @Muren said it depends on your scrolling luck, but I'd go against what he says and go for the concerto if you're not really that concerned about damage. There is only roughly a 2 att worth difference in the end (between a 123 att revolver and a 119 att concerto) and so if you're lacking the funds and aren't going for top range or don't have "perfect dragon revolver" as a goal, then it'd be better to go for the concerto. Ultimately, a 2 att difference in your range is not noticeable at all, and is just used for bragging purposes.

    Say you sell the revolver for 3b, and that clean 84 att concertos cost 700m each. Statistically you'd be able to buy and pass a slot using 30% att scrolls on that 84 att concerto using only 2.3b - so with average luck you'd have an 89 att 6 slot gun and then another 700m to spare if you go for the concerto (89 att 6 slot concerto would be roughly like a 91 att revolver), versus an 88 att revolver and no funds. This calculation isn't even including the money you could make off by finishing scrolling an 84 att concerto that you failed the first 30% on and selling it, so by the time you get an 89 att 6 slot concerto it'd be safe to say you probably have more than 700m to spare.

    In the end, it will boil down to factors such as how competitive you feel in terms of damage, your current view on how long you'll be playing this sever, how easily you think you can make mesos in the future, etc. Hope this helped!
    :D

    Always coming to the rescue @Kivin . I am severely lacking the funds atm so I feel that I will be selling it. Or maybe I'll try HTing to make money. And yeah I don't care about attack range very much at all. That's just not my goal really :p. You da best!
