Whats the go to scroll for perfecting weapons nowadays?

Been gone from maple for awhile because I got bored. I am interested in finishing and perfecting my weapon. What scroll would be best to perfect with? If it helps at all, I use a 2-handed sword.

@LiliKoby: To an extent I do agree some events stopped giving the good armor/weapon scrolls that are better then the spell trace scrolls. All we gotta hope is for either some good scrolls to come out in next update I guess

Press O
Drag your weapon into the enhancement box
Choose 15% ATK
Use Spell Traces to upgrade it (around 550 traces each 15%)
Use up all your availabe slots doing this
Hopefully you get at least 2-4 to work
Use Clean slate scrolls to restore all the failed slots on your weapon
Try again to hit your 15% traces
Do this till you hit all your 15% upgrades in all your slots.
After that, upgrade it to 15 stars

@Kuraisenshi: I never said marvel didn't give prime scrolls. What I meant was that after spell traces came out, event shops stopped giving weapon scrolls and armor scrolls (I'm not including special scrolls in this since traces can't replace those). I haven't seen any good scrolls from what the anniversaries gave in KMS

If i recall correctly marvel wheel did give prime scrolls however the marvel wheel event is over. However depends on how many people did hoard or used them all up from selling the service

@Lecarde Um to answer your question about that kinda depends since end game wise you would want to scroll your weapon with the best available weapon/m attack scrolls which would be prime weapon scrolls. Personally though you have to count in other factors such as the % att/m attack the person has against the all stat% as well as how much of a stat so you could say it could make up for the lack of 40 of a stat for non xenon classes since 6% of a main stat=11 or 12 wa if i remember correctly from what my friend told me a long time ago when I was using a Mark of Narricain. Other factors for weapons include their weapon multipliers. However you do realise other things to take into account for include the cost of buying nx for shield scrolls+protection ward compared to say if your using spell traces only have to buy shield scrolls to protect the slots incase it does fail since with the current nx ratio which in bera is 1:250 would you really want to pay that much compared to the cost of spell traces in fm. However if you had asked this question before the nx ratio increased in bera would say um would be cheaper. So yeah if you don't have enough mesos for it don't try to prime scroll

[quote=Kuraisenshi]15% spell trace is 9wa/ma depending on if magician or non magician + i think about 7 main stat. Prime scrolls are 40% success 30% boom 10 wa/ma 3 all stat.[/quote]

Question, are prime scrolls really better than 15% spell trace in the long run? Prime gives you 10 more att before enhancing, which will amount to 17-20 extra attack at the most after enhancing. But 15% spell traces give you 40 more stat. If you have enough %stat wouldn't that 40 extra stat outweigh the 17-20 extra attack? Not counting Xenons.

Ah, thank you. I think I'll do with 15% scrolls then. Probably be less riskier and cheaper in the end.

so where would I pick up prime scrolls. If my item booms I can re apply it to a clean item right? Do I lose the potential of the item and so on?
