What are spell traces?

I'm coming back after a long long time and I have no idea what these things are. Help please.

Ah good to know but I dont see any attack options? Granted the 30% luck looks great anyway.

Spell Traces are a system that replaces scrolls. It's very handy, really... though you do need to have a good chunk of them.

You can click the hammer icon or even just double-click the spell traces in your inventory to open the upgrade UI. Click and drag the item you want to upgrade into the slot and it'll give you a list of scrolls you can use on the piece of equipment and how many spell traces are needed to act as that scroll. For example, a 30% scroll is about 500 traces. The safer the scroll, the less traces needed, but the effect from the scrolls are lowered too.

Now, whenever they do a Spell Trace Fever event (keep an eye out for these, one's coming up this weekend), spell traces are about 25% more effective. That means a 70% scroll will work 95% of the time and a 30% scroll will work 55% of the time. Last week, I burned out my slot and a half of traces to upgrade my DB's Fafnir set with 30% scrolls and it went surprisingly well =p

[quote=MrSinDeath19]Essentially they work to replace almost every scroll..

So rather than using a GFA60% for example, you can use X amount of spell traces (the # depends on your equip level) and scroll it with 70% spell trace.

Also, there is an event coming up this weekend where 70% spell traces have a 95% success rate. If you plan on scrolling equips I would stock up and do it this weekend[/quote]

Really? Didnt think they could be used for replacing attack.

Go "enhance" your item with the hammer icon in your inventory by press I
Drag the item you want to enhance, it'll tell you how many x amount of traces and it works like a scroll.. depending on what you choose the lower success rate, the more spell traces it consumes.
Then you can star force it much cheaper way than rather than using AEEs
