better to get htp and/or wait for mon. Depends on what class you're playing as well. Chaosing is expensive and it's likely that you will have to upgrade it at some point even if you manage to scroll a perfect one.
Again it depends on what class you're playing, however earrings are potentially endgame earrings for i think all classes except mages.
This isn't to say the scarf isn't worth getting. It's a MUCH cheaper alternative to attackers (say NLs) than a HTP. It's much better than Deputy Star since it gives +1 atk (although Deputy star is still better on mages since int is technically more important than matk). It just isn't worth chaosing unless you have money to waste.
I think HTP would be better for any warrior class (if egged) generally, especially since the dex would help you out immensely (But I could be wrong on this). But assuming +4 watk, the scarf is better for NLs. Again, either way, the scarf is a very cheap alternative to the HTP (plus you don't lose 1-2hours of going through the run). You can get candles for 50k each, and I think scarves are 2.5k candles, which would mean 125m for scarf vs 1b for VIP HTP.
@benchpress the wa scarf would be somewhat better. 1 wa ~ 5 str. So 28 str vs 22 str, which would mean it's better than HTP, so long as you have the accuracy for it. For heroes it's a different story since they need 120 total dex for ST.
It is never clear cut, it all depends on the rest of your gear since the w. atk scales with your main stat. A perfect or less than perfect scarf would most likely be better than htp for any warrior. But since cwkpq is likely to bring an even better pendant for warriors, nls, bm/mm and pirates I think its a waste of mesos to try chaos scarves. Chaosing scarves is very expensive compared to buying a htp unless you get lucky ofc.
If you're an attacker and relatively funded I'd say chaos a scarf. Otherwise egging a htp yields a decent amount of stat for probably a cheaper price since chaoses are generally tough love
An average egged htp would have 22/22 pri/sec stats or 44 total stats. If you convert that into weapon attack (~5 stat = 1 attack if you use heartstoppers), that's 8.8 weapon attack. You will need a 6 wa 7/7 pri/sec stat scarf to match that. The only time when scarf (and MoN in fact) is better, is when the secondary stat is unnecessary. Such as for DrK (ski does not need dex), claymore heroes, end-game buccs (easily having 100-110dex). When secondary stat is unnecessary, effective weapon attack of htp is halved to 4.4 wa Here is how you calculate how much stat = 1 attack
I don't know... chaos scrolls has 11 outcomes so on avg you would get 1/11 which hits +5 on atk and considering that you would probably like postive outcome on at least 1 more stat on your pendant it makes it even harder. Without even considering the pass rate of chaos itself or the amount it costs to get the pendant it would cost on average 5.5b to chaos a +5atk pendant, correct me if im wrong about this but i think that is a conservative price for a good scarf. I would not recommend any player to pay 5.5b for a temporary item that has no resale value.
Yeah it's really only for the real end gamers. Take into account the 40% failure rate of a cs and it's going to cost more.. then again people like gambling so I can foresee people willing to chance it before the official MoN stats are released
