Smartest investment for remaining maple leaves?

Should I stock up on 1H/2H prime scrolls or sell the remaining leaves I have left? I stocked up on about 50k+ leaves before they stopped dropping. I'm in Bera if that matters

Thanks!

That's exactly my point, as I said in my previous post:
[i] "Just note, just be weary when it comes to selling services, there's a lot of complications when it comes to it. [/i]

[i]If I was in your shoes, I'd skip the services entirely and I'd invest in a Fafnir Mighty Talon Knuckle (With Potential) or my second suggestion, and scroll it with your saved up scrolls. " [/i]

Again, you reassured my previous post, Guardian scrolls are necessary simply because he only has 10 scrolls at his disposal.
As for paying for Guardians, yeah, it can add up, however, he can save 51% of his NX if he were to replace his Shielding Wards (NX - Scroll) with a Protection Scroll (In-Game Scroll). So, if he goes for that method, it's definitely the better deal.
Of course, that means he'd have to wait for another event to do such a thing. That's why I've labelled this option as a [b]Long-term, End-Game Investment[/b].

Ah, okay well for profit, I'd agree. 2-Handed would be your best bet simply because of Eunwol's release and Night Walker's release (Don't forget them!).
Just note, just be weary when it comes to selling services, there's a lot of complications when it comes to it.

Depending on your method of scrolling, you can reap large profits with it simply because of two factors:

- Scrolls will no longer be available (Shortage in supply)
- Eunwol's recent release, increased interest in the class (Increase in demand)

Some may say that scrolling a Fafnir weapon now may not be the right choice because new equipment might be released; I'd have to disagree, KMST hasn't showed any sign of new equipment (160+ Set Equipment) that will match or even surpass Chaos Root Abyss. Just make sure when you put the item on the market, that the scrolls are completely gone and it's a few days after Eunwol's release.

On a side note, if the Eunwol doesn't strike you, and if you prefer, scrolling a Fafnir Risk Holder would be a viable option as well (Also 2-Handed Weapon!). Why? Well, it's because we're expecting the Night Walker Revamp anytime now. I'm sure this isn't the first time you've read this: [b]Thieves are expensive[/b], if not the most expensive, class to fund. The Night Walker would have just the same, if not more, hype than the Eunwol. But of course, that's completely preference.

Again, more decisions for you to make. Keep me updated, I'm interested to know what you ultimately choose, @gamey109.[/quote]

Sell whatever you can and sure 2H primes will work. It's a win win either way. I didn't think ahead and now regret not saving some leaves for some juicy scrolls.

Sell the leaves if you think you can find a way to make more mesos by using the revenue.

I bought 50 Prime Armor scrolls to finish my hat and pants down the road.
Aside from that imo you should sell your leaves... 50k isn't much to begin with and people are unlikely to buy scroll service when better scrolls ALWAYS come out Leaves are already at 30k each in Windia

@Primus: Thanks for the very thorough answer I was actually planning to sell 2H Prime Scroll service in the future if I were to stock up on scrolls now as I already perfected a weapon for my own use. Some guildies have told me 2H is better than 1H as more weapons are 2H and with the upcoming Eunwol class coming out (knuckles), some will want to scroll perfect knuckles. Any idea which would be better now?

I believe the 10th anniversary has even better scrolls (needs to look it up since I might be mistaken) </3

Depends,
So your two options are:
With 50K Leaves: 500 Coins, or 10 scrolls. (Long-term, End-game investment)
With 50K Leaves: 20K Ea = 1B~ Meso (Short-term gain)

The first option, if you decide to go with the 10 scrolls and you plan to use them for an end-game weapon, I'm assuming you're also willing to spend the NX to purchase Shielding Wards(For the Boom Chance), Shield Scrolls(For the Slot if failed) and Guardian Scrolls(For the scroll itself, so that it remains reusable if failed).
That's a total of 10,700 NX for all three scrolls, Shielding, Shield and Guardian scrolls.
This is assuming you want to perfectly scroll a Fafnir Weapon or any weapon with 8 slots with 2 hammers.
The reason you'd need to use Guardian Scrolls is because 10 scrolls is the amount you'll be receiving with your 50K Leaves. That's exactly enough to complete an end-game weapon. If guardians aren't used, and a scroll were to fail, then you'll have one slot incomplete. Again, these are just things to consider only if you plan to perfect a weapon.

The second option, is if you decide you don't want to spend the NX, and go for a quick buck, then go for the 1B Meso.

So I guess, the question for you to answer is if you're wanting to spend the NX in the future for an end-game weapon. If you do, go with the scrolls, if not, go for the 1B.
Also, you can reduce the amount of NX spent by buying the scrolls (1H or 2H, depending on your respective weapon), and wait for future events where Protection Scrolls are offered again. You'd save around 51% of your NX if you use Protection Scrolls in place of Shielding Wards.
I've done this with my current item set-up and i've saved tons of NX.

Best of luck with your decision making, @gamey109

People say summer event wont have any good weapon scrolls so if you plan to scroll a weapon within a few months get some prime scrolls.
I'm gonna buy around 20 prime armor scrolls since i only have +1 on my bottom and prots and shields have been coming out in events recently.

but won't it be quite a while before better atk scrolls come out?
