Protection Scroll Advice

Just a heads up since many people are uncertain how a protection scroll works.

1) You must physically drag the scroll from your inventory onto the item that you wish to protect. It will then give you the passing scroll animation and a shield will appear in the corner of the picture of the item. This is how you know it will not boom.

2) Protection scrolls work on just about anything that has a chance to boom your item unless SPECIFICALLY STATED OTHERWISE. For example, it will work on potential scrolls, EEs, dark scrolls, etc. (Will not work on EE if enhanced 12 times).

3) Please remember that it does not act as a white scroll. If something such as a dark scroll fails, it will still take a slot away, but at least the item will remain in tact.

4) Protection scrolls do NOT work on any [b]Superior[/b] (Tyrant, Nova, or Elite) equipment. These require a special protection scroll from the CS for 9.9k NX (Lol @ Nexon).

Any other questions regarding it go ahead and ask and I will attempt to help you. Enjoy your free scroll and use it wisely.

edit: Apparently some maplers are reporting their weapons are booming using enhancements even though a protection scroll was applied. I recommend holding off on attempting to EE until more information comes to light. This is almost certainly a glitch however, since it specifically states on the scroll that the protection will no longer work after [b]12[/b] successful enhances.

Thanks for the help!

I might try something different though, I don't have that much expendable money for nx, but I can afford to buy a 10k card and purchase shielding wards from the cash shop for 1k each. Assuming I can use them with lucky day scrolls, I can purchase the 40% scrolls from the tempest store and go from there?

So basically 40% dark scrolls from tempest + 1k nx shielding wards + 10% lucky day -> 10% clean slate scrolls from tempest/20% from fm - >Save prots for EE's?

Or I can use the current protection scrolls for the 40% instead, seeing as the EE's may possibly be bugged.[/quote]

The lucky day scrolls will work fine with the 40% dark scrolls. I am not familiar with the 1k NX shielding wards. It is really up to you, there are ways of scrolling the item without worrying about it booming, while for EEing you pretty much are forced to rely on protection scrolls.

[quote=Viener]There are three types of Protection Wards. The one from today's event, another one in the CS, and Superior Protection Wards. The one in the CS and today's event function the same, except one requires NX. They can't be used on Superior items. To Prot Superior items, you need Superior Prots, which are 9.9k NX.[/quote]

TYVM, I will add that to the post.

[quote=RoosterLamp] @NowItsOn Why can't I use it on my Helisium Cape for Warrior?

If you know Proxied, he used it on his Tyrant cape (the one from the CS) and it worked fine...[/quote]

Unfortunately I cannot help you with that one then. Perhaps they work on Tyrant but not Nova or Elite.

@skipperboss

Because I have a VIP belt that has had a protection scroll on it for about 5 months now

[quote=paaperclip]Lucky Day scrolls specifically say NO, the 10% added scrolling bonus cannot be used with enhancing items and adding potentials.[/quote]

You are correct in that lucky day scrolls do not work with enhancements or potential scrolls, however that is not what he asked. It is a good addition to the advice if he was planning to do that, though.

@Skipperboss

Yes, it will stay while you are logged out.

@RoosterLamp

Apparently it does not work on the Tyrant, Nova, Elite equips. I do not know why this is.

@plancake

If I understand you correctly, you are asking if you can use both a lucky day scroll and a protection scroll on the same item at the same time. The answer is YES, you can. This will allow you to both have an extra 10% chance of succeeding, while still being safe from the item booming.[/quote]

[quote=l3reak3r]well I don't exactly plan to complete one, just start it lol.

I might just save for 50% pinks , clean slate fails, then save the prots for enhancing. Is that a better plan?[/quote]

Nice edit lol, hope you realize the 20%s are going to be tough to complete a weapon without white scrolls. From what I can tell the 50%s are very high in price as of late so depending on your funding, this may be a good idea. It may also be wise to use clean slates until you run out then proceed using white scroll type items with the 50%s. One thing you must remember, if you fail a scroll and use all of your clean slates trying to get the slot back and none of them pass, you will be hard pressed to find more white scrolls that won't require you to use the protection scrolls you've been saving.

Protection scrolls are always good for EEing, it should strongly be considered to use them here. Just make sure you have the self control to hold on to them until the long process of making your endgame weapon is complete.

@QuantumLegend

edit: Yes it appears some people are booming their weapons on EEs WITH the protection applied. I would hold off on attempting to EE until more information comes to light.

[quote=ikickazzxd]if i use a incrdeadible chaos scroll from the tempest shop and a protection scroll on a scg , it wont break if it fails right? and if it works the wep atk will go up?[/quote]

This is exactly what i would recommend using with the protection scrolls. If the chaos fails, your SCG's will not boom. HOWEVER, there is no guarantee that the weapon attack will increase, but it is guaranteed that it will not go down

@Eighty8Fi

Thank you

[quote=l3reak3r]So this week is the perfect opportunity to make my endgame weapon with 10 mules?

Protection + 40%'s from tempest, then clean slate scrolls from thursday/friday?

Do you recommend me simply just buying white scrolls?[/quote]

From my experience it is safe to assume you are going to need more protection scrolls then you think. In terms of white scrolls.. I have heard rumors they were being deleted and have not seen a single one in the Kradia alliance in months. This is unfortunate since at the moment there are no similar CS items that can perform that task. I suppose you could rely on clean slates but just be aware of the consequences and do not assume you are going to have a lucky streak with those 40%s. Goodluck to you.

No, the scroll is available for one attempt ONLY. Regardless of whether or not it was necessary.
