Who's up for enhancing their weapon?

In my latest screenshot there is a picture of my gun with 2 enhances. I wanted to go for the third with an advanced equip scroll.

I have asked this person http://www.basilmarket.com/user/268078243 if he wanted to do it and his thinking about it. Here is his amazing weapon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HF6Fa63JQNM

I plan to supply him enhancement scrolls to boom dummys and owls for the both of us.

My plan, first I owl for adv equip scrolls and we both buy the cheapest then we will have 100% scrolled items and the plan is to boom one with an 80% normal enhancement scroll. Then we will use an advance equip on our main weapons leaving us with 3 stars. He will receive 4 atk and I will get 3 atk.

Who thinks it is a good idea? I made a poll recently so I can't make another and I want to hear what you guys think.

Who ever wants to join us (scanians) please feel welcome. I will only provide you guys the cheapest advanced equip from my owls.

Or, you could dupe the Arcglaive a few times, then go nuts.

I honestly only enjoy the scrolling parts of maple. Scrolling expensive items and knowing that risk of losing a ton when it fails.

I love cubing heaps but now scrolling has taken away the number 1 activity.

Lol @ the "rush and the thrill" comment,you know you are just power hungry bro,it happens to the best of us,just know that the odds are in your favor but its not set in stone that its going to work,never quit because you did something dumb just because you wanted an extra boost to your power,think about how much money you lose if it booms,i would just invest in something that is 3 attack to make up for your hunger for scrolling it and call it a day,something like a ring or a belt or something...just dont scroll your weapon man,take it from me.

[quote=ry0no]In the first 30 seconds you can see how he scrolls over the Osfa suit with HIDDEN Potential, and it is revealed. Called a Hidden Potential hack, hacker. Hacks hacks Mc Hacker.[/quote]

I see him scrolling over it, but it is not revealed. Review the video again?

Yes, this is a prime example of gambler's fallacy.

Lol Gambler's fallacy...I've failed 3 adv pot in a row before. Each scroll = its own.

This isn't related to algebra it's probability, algebra is solving for an unknown.(not counting prealgeba)

I'm basically testifying against odds. To be safe he could even fail 2 enhancements in a row. Then it would be a 5% chance of failing.[/quote]

dont forget i boomed 9 items in a row with 80% enhance mang

Most of you said the same thing.

@aillya the rush and thrill is what i'm in for. If it bombs then I'm selling everything and quitting. At high levels 170+, raw ATK is very strong compared to the lower levels 150 and below.

It's as everyone else said. You're assuming that landing equip enhances is a dependent event on DIFFERENT items. It is only dependent on the same item, and independent for different items. It does not matter how many you passed/failed on others, the probability is still the same.

[quote=Akatsukii]@XcoldshadowX yeah anything can happen but it's all about rounding down the chances. It's like passing a 10% scroll. The chances of passing another one straight after is very unlikely. You get where I'm coming from?[/quote]

It's unlikely, but it's not unlikely [i]because[/i] you passed the first one. Let's take a coin for example. The probability of a flipped coin landing on heads is .50. The probability of a coin landing on heads after it has landed on tails 100 times is .50. Flipping coins (for most people) and scrolling are random events; the outcome of one trial does not affect the others. It doesn't matter if you pass five 10%s in a row. In the long run (many trials, 10,000 for example) you will find that about 10% of the 10%s worked.

-I only say most people because some people can flip a coin in the exact same way each time and get the same outcome.

Just wait for the item from CS that prevents an item from blowing up when you use an Enhancement Scroll.

Each scroll used on an item is a random event. The outcome on one scroll doesn't affect any of the others.

I use enhancements when I'm scrolling for fun. I usually scroll wands b/c wand 60%s are so cheap. The highest I've gotten is 4 enhancements. I went for a 5th but the item blew up
