Hello MapleRoyal Community, I purchased a few clean Pink Gaia Capes for my melee characters. Formerly I scrolled my capes with DEX scrolls or STR scrolls. I understand that chaos scrolls can either raise or lower an items' stats by up to 5 points. If successful, the gains are self-evident. But I pause to consider whether this risk is worth taking. A chaos scroll costs currently 305 mil, assuming that the scroll is successful, and raises the stats 1~2. Wouldn't the same effect be achieved by employing dex scrolls on the five slots? A failed chaos scroll with an undesirable result is costly, whereas a failed DEX or STR cap scroll is much less devastating. What motivates those of you who use chaos scroll on a consistent basis? Moreover, how do you cope with the drawbacks of such scrolls?
It's a luxury item, there's really not much more to it - it's costly of course. I guess people call it "end game item".
People use chaoses because one + 2~3 chaos on an attack cape is gonna be better than landing five 60s for dex/str, and the cape still has 4 slots. Chaosing stuff is very high risk, but also high reward. A chaos can either fail, which is rip 300m and a slot on the cape, or the watk can go negative which is basically the same, rip 300m and the cape. If the w.atk goes positive, depending on how much you could be left with a cape thats worth 1b+ (and 10b+ for the really good ones) and that gives you a much bigger dmg boost than any str/dex cape ever would. If you dont want to risk scrolling your own, you can always save up and buy an already scrolled pink cape, which might be expensive, but theres no risk involved.
Considering ~5 of my main stat is equal to 1 attack, you can probably see how scrolling a cape with stat would be outclassed by chaosing. A 4 attack cape is already better than any cape you could possibly make by scrolling it with your main stat, & those are actually pretty common just as a clean cape. That said, scrolling for stat seems pretty useless in the grand scheme of things when getting 1 lucky chaos is as if you stacked two of your perfectly 30/10%'d capes on top of eachother & were able to wear both. Once you get to the point where you can chaos capes, shoes, gloves, etc, 300m is pretty cheap, although discouraging at the same time. And you try your best to forget your fuck up by blaming outside factors of bad luck like your song ending at the wrong time or someone being around you that was bad luck.
