Choice in Earrings?

I was wondering what everyone preferred in terms of earrings. Currently, I'm using a 3 line clean 4 INT 4 LUK Rex's Green Earrings. The HP bonus is nice. However, the only option of scrolling is through those blasted tablets, so they don't have as much expandability as other earrings.

I could tablet these earrings for INT, or I could find a pretty decent 3 line Level 75+ earring.

I guess that means the M.Atk boost is a no brainer.

What do you guys prefer?

4% int earrings are pretty cheap when 2lined, I see them some places in Scania for 20-40m. Most of the time they are clean, so you can scroll them.

Battle mages don't need much %HP so I would just go with regular tier 3 earring because then you can also scroll for m.att too!

Right now the potential on these earrings is 3% int, 4 int, 4 luk <rare>. I haven't put any cubes into them yet because I was waiting on a decision.

Bottom lines:
- %Int > anything you can scroll any day.
- Rex's are level 75, which means third tier earrings.
- By using tablets, I'd get somewhere around 8-10 int or more over the 4 int clean on these, If I'm lucky.
- Durability is not an annoyance to me.

It's pretty much a decision of... Do I want the +10% HP boost? or do I want the extra M.atk one can get from scrolled earrings?

I'm thinking of going with the latter, especially since I'll be putting points in Energize soon to keep my HP up.

Thanks for all the pointers.

@Roxas259: Doesn't have to be Rose Earrings, any above level 75 will work, as they'd be 3rd tier. Rose Earrings are just more common.

Do what I do and scroll your own earrings. My earrings of choice being gold emerald earrings, since their the best ones (5int on avg clean) grab a few 30s and keep going till you get something nice.

While we're on the subject of earrings, how much %int would it take to beat a 13 M Att / 7 int Earring if I have ~600 int?
I figured that the 36 or so int from 6% earrings would not be enough, because 13 M Att is probably more than 29 int.

Is it worth it for me to purchase %int earrings?

Honestly the 10% hp isn't much of a difference for me anyways. I borrowed my friends and i only gained 600 hp..

Get rose earrings with some %INT, the durability will get annoying at some point. Always thought of this but never checked it out myself, dosn't a NPC sell 100% 1m.att earring scrolls?

The durability issue is not a problem to me, nor an annoyance. It's one of the things I remember in town when I stock up on potions. I've had a few weapons in the past with durability, why I'm accustomed to it.

Find a decent rose earring with %int. Rex earings have annoying durability issues.

I'd go with the 75+ earrings.
I have level 3 lined 85 earrings that give me 6% LUK, 3% INT. Need to upgrade them soon...
