Inno-rescroll+1 star transpose->profit. however when you tranpose you lose the stats of the potential. It would be hidden potential legendary

[quote=birdyyellow]@natty2 dang so you cant transpose a clean empress to a clean sw it HAS to be full scrolled? meaning i pretty much have to innocence my dagger then perfect scroll it to transpose it to keep the good stats AND legendary rank... that's a crap load of work and too expensive for me atm. might just end up selling them as-is with this new knowledge
thanks in advance for all the help![/quote]

Yes.
On side note, if you wanted a perfect SW item, then Empress gear would be perfect.
You just perfect an Empress equip, and then transpose it, and the result is as good as if you perfected any other equip (and perhaps even better than RA gear at it's prime).

Also you cannot transpose RA top+bottom.

And yes, the item must have no slots left in order to be able to transpose. Just like using enhancements.

i also read that if you psok a material item before you transpose it then the sw will be able to be psoked? is that true? meaning you eventually can sell it if you choose to am i getting that right? to clarify is that just once or like you can equip it and then psok it again in the future as long as you psoked the material item in the beginning.

@Caca: Still here. Using innocence on a transposed item is not adviced. You equip will not be able to participate in another transposition, AND you'll lose the valuable slots.

This guide you linked to is very much up to date, nothing in it changed.

Also this is the ONLY guide in basil with no comments. AL ATT.

EDIT:
oh, you posted the old version.
The new one is in the guide section.
http://www.basilmarket.com/MapleStory-Guide-Transposition-Guide-464.html

You know, the section nobody looks at.

i'm not too clear on how innocence+transposing works. according to [url=http://www.basilmarket.com/forum/2781993]this[/url] guide, you have to finish fully scrolling your items first before you transpose, but that guide is a year old, so things might have changed.
maybe @natty2 can help with this?

ok, so innocence first then transpose? i'm not tripping about 0 resell value because this is my main and won't be playing another character (too invested in time and play for fun). i think you convinced me to go sw route because you're right getting to legendary was really hard and don't wanna start over again from epic -_-

[quote=birdyyellow]@caca would it be detrimental in the long run to go with sw? i never see any of the "pros" using it. i am assuming its because top/bottom vs overall?

innocence before transpose or transpose then innocence the sw?

last question, does innocence remove stars too and hammers? all stats except potential level? what is difference between innocence and perfect innocence?

thanks for all the knowledge btw, sorry i just really don't wanna mess this up i'd be so upset![/quote]

The top/bottom vs overall might be a reason but the bigger reason is that they are not PSoK'able so they have 0 resale value

in your case, starting over from scratch might not be beneficial for you since you already have scrolled/cubed gear that you can transfer over to sw, especially since your items aren't worth much nowadays and you could barely get a good dagger/katara with just 7b (assuming that your items do sell and this is what you get)

yes innos remove everything but your potential.
innocence scrolls ^.
idk much about perfect innos but i think it just reverts stats that are under/above average to its supposed stats. like those crafted equips that have varied stats, if you know what i mean.
a normal inno scroll should be good enough for you.

[quote=birdyyellow]i really want to make a perfect dagger though and if i transpose doesn't it carry over the scrolled stats?[/quote]

yeah it carries over the scrolled stats. you could always just inno your dagger and still transpose though.

[quote=birdyyellow]@caca tell me more bro! can you transpose to cra or only sw? it would be nice to transpose to sw to keep my legendary potentials but isn't cra + tyrants stronger in the long run than a full sw set? also i already have a tyrant cape and plan on getting tyrant shoes sometime in the future.. it's hard to make a decision because faf set is only 4 pieces and that's really easy to get as well as having a top and bottom instead of overall. if i could transpose to cra though that would be the best option. thanks for the input, anyway you could estimate the gear price if i do decide to just sell it instead of transpose?[/quote]

cra isn't transposable, only sw is. read [url=http://maplestory.nexon.net/guides/game-play/systems/00I1N/upgrading-equipment-transposition]this[/url] to give you a better idea. i have a few friends who did the same with their emp gear, they just switched over to sw because they already had legendary pot on their gear and didn't want to purchase cra and start over from scratch. but note that sw gear isn't psokable so if you decide to switch over to a new character, you'd lose those items if you do decide to transpose unless you decide to switch over to shadower or something.
as for tyrants, those are transposable too. and because tyrants have no set effect, you wouldn't be missing out on much if you decide to wear tyrant shoes instead of sw shoes, just -1 set effect for the sw set.

~3b for dagger, ~2.5-3b for katara, maybe 400-500m max for hat and 300-400m for cape.

I think that any range you would lose if any would be worth it because of all the money you'll save by not having to repot cra gear and just transposing SW.

i'd advise you to get sw gear and transpose all your gear into sw, especially since you have 2 items that have leg pot. sw gear is pretty cheap nowadays so it shouldn't be that pricey.
i honestly don't think anyone would buy your gear since it's emp and everyone uses either cra/sw, it's more cost efficient for you to just buy sw and transpose rather than buy cra gear (assuming that's the reason why you're selling your gear).
