What is a better % scroll chance of working for a 8slot weapon

Azwan 60% +4 ATk uses 2slots
Scroll for 2h for ATk 60% +2 ATk +1 str uses 1 slot

Which has a better probability of working most of the time?

Well now that I think about it, technically the Azwan scroll is much better.
There are 4 initiations for Azwan, while there are 8 initiations for regular.
With Azwan, you have the total possible outcomes is much lower than that of the regular scrolls.
This means that you have a higher chance of passing all of them, because you are only taking the 60% risk 4 times, instead of 8.
There is 1 case in which all pass.
There are four cases in which 1 fails
There are six cases in which two fails
There are four cases in which three fails
There is 1 case in which all fail.

Out of the total 16 cases, one of them results in all of the scrolls passing.

With normal scrolls, the probability of all of them passing is much, much lower.
1 Case in which all pass
8 Cases in which one fails
Etc.

@Battleox2888: Then i guess you might wanna go aswan. So you only have to try once.

With the first one you end up with 16 att
With the second, you end with 16 , and +8 str.
Both 60% , Same Probability.

But you could use the Lucky Day Scroll to Add 10%

[quote=MybulIets]Same probability. but one has more risk than the other.
Aswan, if you pass you gain +2. If failed you lost 2 slots.
Regular, If you pass you get +1. If failed you lost 1 slot.[/quote]

So Aswan or regular?

It's the same...
You have a higher probability of passing all with azwan scrolls though.
