Spell Trace Fever, join the fun or no?

I currently have a Fafnir Mana Cradle with 299 matk with 12 stars. I scrolled and enhanced last year with chaos scrolls, I know bad choice. Since Spell Trace fever is around the corner, should I redo my weapon or just buy a already scrolled one? Using 15% seems basically impossible and with a bunch of clean slates, I would wipe out all my mesos. I am fairly unfunded and trying to fund my range up. What should I do? Should I even use any safety scrolls?

@genostigma:

Please take special care to write down the details. Keep track of how many you did, what equipment, what particular option.
Thank you! I will be conducting my own tests.

@kryo: No kidding Sherlock, it's why I also mentioned that I have yet to fail a gollux scroll(occult 90%) given the fact that I have Lv100 Dili= 10% + 90% = 100%. Other people have mentioned they have failed these scrolls with Lv100 Dili.
On a side note, not all GM's know what they're talking about. I'm actually more surprised of the fact that they disclosed info on the lucky scroll. I mean how else are we suppose to buy their products if we don't know if it's actually working when we apply it to certain items. That's just effkkn ridiculous! But hey, that's Nexin for u brah. gg!

@aloeveritas Hmm, that would explain the 1% failure outcome. I'll put it to the test given I have a so called 95% of success with a Lv100 dili.

@mudkippiratez:
That's an extraordinary claim.
Can you provide evidence?
Unless someone can show me documented evidence of them failing a 70% trace during fever time with max diligence, I will not believe it.

@bigbater so it probably doesn't clarify anything lol.

@bigbater

Not that I trust what these "GMs" say, since they're inconsistent and they don't even play the game. But if multiple people claim that they have failed a 70% trace during fever time with lvl 100 diligence, then it must be the case that diligence doesn't affect trace scrolls.

@genostigma: diligence doesn't affect fever time, thus the 1% rate of failure and the outcome

@emachines612: Hmm let's see. 70% turns to 95% (during fever) + Lv100 dili brings it up to 105% + guild skill another 4% bringing it to 109% scroll effectiveness. Yup, pretty much overkill. Don't know where you're getting your 1% fail chance. I'm doing this without 4% guild skill btw.

@genostigma: I have failed a 70% trace during fever time with level 100 diligence. It is only a 1% chance to fail if the guild skill works properly so it's not a surprise that it hasn't happened to you yet.

@mudkippiratez: Diligence does work with traces. It's been proven before here on basil. Don't know where the thread went but it's a done deal. I have Lv100 Dili and have never failed a 70% trace during fever time. Also have yet to fail a gollux scroll 90%.

Will spending more mesos on my weapon make my range go up more than spending mesos on other equips?

@mudkippiratez: Ask a gm to end the dispute lol. No one has truly been able to confirm if diligence does or doesn't affect traces.

@chopin: Then tell me how I failed a "supposed" 100% rate with 70% spell traces during fever with level 50 diligence

The highest chance you can get is 99% chance with enhancement mastery guild skill. 70%->95% + 4% = 99%

@camptree: Diligence doesn't affect spell traces, only the guild skill does.

You said you're unfunded. It's cheaper to just 70% it. The 95% chance + whatever bonus % you have from diligence will mean you will most likely pass all the scrolls. If you don't, innocent scroll your weapon (much cheaper than clean slating) and rescroll.

Wouldn't even 70%ing it beat that?
70% traces are +5 magic att and during fever are 95% (very easy to get to 100% with diligence and guild skills)

You could always go with 30% traces
