Self scrolling vs Pre-scrolled?

I've got all the clean gear but none of it is scrolled. What is more expensive? Scrollnig it myself or buying a prescrolled one in FM?

Especially with tyrants, i find buying them prestarred is a bit more expensive but considering how much it isjust to do 1st star tyrants, i can only assume the cost to do the rest of them. + all the failing and backstepping and the chance that it blows up and u have to get a new one.
But then it depends how much money u have. If you buy it clean and scroll it you can do it over time, lessen the burden but you dont get immediate results.[/quote]

Buying pre-starred Tyrant capes is much cheaper than enhancing yourself.

To the OP

The answer really depends on a lot of factors like

Inherent factors

A) Type (Mage glove, Thief hat, etc)
B) Stat (dex/luk/int/str)
C) % (3, 6, 9, 12, 15...)

As well as external factors such as

D) Population of the world you're playing in
E) Popularity of the class
F) How long you're willing to wait
G) How well connected you are
I) How good you and the seller are at bargaining

[quote=MedFat]Ummm, to do 1 star just takes 1 AEE since its 100% =D.[/quote]

and for the next fourteen stars? Even just getting to 2 can be a struggle since its a 50/50 chance.

I always prefer buying pre-scrolled. Hypothetical math calculations are what I depend on when I buy items. I calculate what someone with "average" luck would have and that gives me a ballpark price check for the item.

For gollux equips, I prefer pre-cubed and the scrolling, I don't care about. Ideally, I'd prefer pre-cubed and non-scrolled because people tend to overprice perfectly scrolled gollux equips as if it were difficult to make.
