Perfecting Sw or Upgrading to Sw katara?

So I was planning to upgrade my fafnir katara to a SW katara, but then I thought that maybe it would be better to perfect a SW since I also need the SW katara to do the upgrade. So if I do perfect it I can sell my faf and make some profit to buy other equips. I don't know which one would be better, so any ideas what's best?

Thanks in advanced

I wonder if you fail to transpose does you still keep the sw kat or not. I wonder if anyone has successfully transposed anything

if you use a japanese katara then it would be better than the fafnir katara because the japanese dagger has 71 atk base
71+80=151 atk
fafnir has 81 atk
81+72=153
the enhances all add the same stats after 150 atk so going japanese katara will be better since you have 8 extra atk

[quote=xtripled]you can always psok your fafnir before you transpose, that way you can still trade it one time after you transpose it so if you do decide to sell it you can

it's any 140-150 item, that means you can transpose tyrants if you so choose

it does matter, when you're transferring the enhancements, the higher the base, the higher the attack
it'll only be about a 5 attack difference in the end but still[/quote]

Nope. Only 1 star on japanese weapon -> Tranpose -> SW with 0 enhancements -> Enhance all you want.

[quote=ipavec]have you tried scrolling the japanese weapons? psok needed each trade, so unless you have a bunch of scrolls on 1 character, it's going to be tedious[/quote]

relatively easy. let's say the japanese weapon does have 70 base attack. you can use 8 att scrolls with 10 slots to give it 150 attack. then enhance however you'd like. you can do all of this on the same account, especially those who stocked up on red tickets. all i'm saying is that the japanese weapon, with unlimited funds, is the best resulting katara to transposition.

[quote=Link4011]Thanks, I think I will go with perfecting SW from scratch since I need SW to upgrade too and It wouldn't really make sense. Plus I can sell my faf for profit [/quote]

[quote=vectorwindia]I don't think you realise it doesn't matter what base stats the item is. When you transpose, you are putting all +xx stats onto an average stat SW equip. Also japanese katara is level 150, so it can be transposed.[/quote]

@vectorwindia: reread what i said. i only mentioned which katara is better. plus, i know that any 140-151 equips can be transposed, i'm saying out of all fafnir, only the katara is worth to be transposed.

and also TS, if you really think that your katara will cover the cost of you rescrolling, then go for it.[/quote]

Can you transpose a jap item? I thought it was only emp/fafnir.

[quote=yoguy911]it'll save a lot of money if you transpose. since it'll cost you a lot to perfect, it might cost you more than your fafnir if you're unlucky. fafnir katara is the only fafnir that is worth transposing.[/quote]

[quote=Link4011]I was going to do that, but the amount of att from a faf and an emp is diff, so faf would give the SW better stats. I know its is ridicolously low. So I just want to know cause I think perfecting a SW katara would be better, but I'm not really sure.[/quote]

Transposing a Fafnir is definitely not worth it imo, especially since there is no resell value. You should just sell the fafnir katara and perfect a SW katara from scratch. Also emp and fafnir katara attack wont make much of a difference really unless it is already enhanced like 15, its pretty much 2-5 attack difference

@yoguy911 Transposition have a low success rate, that statement is false

No, stars also pass, but I loose one. So my faf would give better stats because it reached 150 att sooner than an emp would. So the att it gives is a bit more

Actually, it's the same.
If you scroll the empress with +81 attack and 27 all stats (9x 90%) and the fafnir with 9x90% and you transposition them both, both end results will end up being the same attack because only the additional scrolled stats (no above average stats) will carry over.

You know the rate of a successful transposition right?
