Scroll/upgrade questions

Regardless of cost,
What's better: to prime my gear or to chaos scroll for +5att with return scrolls?

Also is it the same to star force equips before finishing scrolls? Im priming a weapon rn and it has 0 slots so i have the option to star force but i dont know if this will affect the outcome since i can still recover upgrade slots with css

Ps im not dropping crazy amounts of cash at once, i spend(waste) like 100~200 usd monthly to satisfy myself with disappointment i guess, it's some sort of gambling addiction

edit: just finished scrolling my weapon, and im now full of regrets and disappointment because it costed 180 usd alone and potential is still bad, one item... rip $$
i'll probably look for a new healthier hobby.

@hualicious: @pinyin: There was a change months ago where Star Forcing is fine regardless if finished or not. Calculations are now re-adjusted if the equipment somehow got clean slated and scrolled again.

The only time you may not want to Star Force is if you plan on using Innocence.

Starforcing normal Armors first 5 stars 'adds +2 stats' and star 6+ 'adds +3 stats', so it doesn't really matter much if you starforce armors earlier on.

But you should always finish scrolling your weapons first including the hammer slots before starforcing. The result could be 1~2 attack less if you didn't finish it first.

Prime (shield scrolls and maybe other scrolls) vs chaos for +5atk with return scrolls are both pricey but with Primes you know where you are going. I think it will take a lot more attempts to get the +5 atk on each scroll.

I went for 30% spelltrace for armors and 15% for weapons.
