[quote=thetornado]I feel like protection/shield scrolls are much more cost efficient than CSS's, you can get those for 2.8k reward points, event shops and nx.
Must warn you, it takes a lot of time to perfect a weapon without nx (4-6 months, depends on your luck) because of the limit of 2 shield scrolls per month you can get with reward points.

Some tips for spell tracing equips:
- Be in a guild with max level enhancement mastery
- Get high diligence (afaik it works with spell traces)
- Wait for spell trace fever time

Good luck [/quote]
Don't forget there is Innocence scroll under Reward Shop (6,000 points). Alternative would be to scroll 15% without protection first, and if you have like 5+ slots that failed just Innocence it.

do sheild scroll from teh hot shop work with spell traces?

It should be 15% Attack Power (STR) : +4 STR & +9 Weapon Attack

when i go to spell trace it says it gives +7 att. what am i doing wrong?

So I typed into google "maplestory how to perfect scroll a weapon"
And the second thing on the page was a reddit post giving lots of useful details on how to perfect scroll a weapon

Spell Trace 15% gives 9 Attack. You use Clean Slates 10%/20% to regain slots back and pray to RNGesus that you'll pass.

Just spell trace w/ +9's > Clean Slate > Repeat > Done > Enhance w/ Star Force.

Nobody's perfect hunnie, all we can do is strive towards being the best we can be.
