Stocked uped on 70 20% Tempest Scrolls..still waiting on those cash shop white scrolls to come back

@TroiSky: Hey there ^-^ Are you done SHOWING OFF? OR DO YOU NEED ME TO SNIPE YOUR DING A LING.

@TroiSky I know, you're lucky! Most of everyone I know either can't collat a clean/partially scrolled Empress rod (because let's face it, I don't trust everyone, ESPECIALLY if they're not super funded), or if they can they need all their coins for their own items

@marilanna: I did mention buy service from guildies & friends.. f3 and 20 coin hot day events.

Or, like I said, were good with events like @TroiSky and @iBubbleteax3 - although I still think farming is a pain. Sure 4 coins per half hour - so like, 6 hours for one clean slate. I could get like, one a day? At 10% success rate when coupled with scrolls that are only 20% success? AND I'd have to continuously make/delete Lumis to override the purchase limit?

Not really my style...
*goes and buys mesos*

No Derek, I use my brain to abuse events.. to an extent to where it's considered feasible to others .. make mule accounts to farm tempest coins ! Especially that one hot time when they gave out 20 coins each *__________* ..

Spent less than 2b perfecting mine .. http://puu(.)sh/1ZB6k I bought clean slate service from my alliance members. Just farm coins on your luminous, 4 coins every 30mins for just afk-ing

Of course the neb + cubing were seperate things.. but I only cube the rod 4 times to get the stat it is now.. going to merch more before cubing it again.

[quote=thiefownz845]ouch. Now that you put it that way....
so hypothetically, all the funded lumi's are either equipping clean dragon thanatos or spent a few billions scrolling a high m.att dragon thanatos....?[/quote]

I just ended up 20%ing my empress rod with the tempest 20% no boom scrolls and slating it.
Eventually I found someone selling shield scroll services and just bought his service and scrolled the last few slots.
It ended up costing me 3b~ in mesos to perfect mine lolol.

[quote=marilanna]There's no GM scrolls for rods, and unless you're wonderfully lucky and pass everything on your first try, scrolling one isn't a profitable venture.

First off, you'll need 1h magic attack scrolls - either 50% pinks (around 250~300m each, but rare to begin with), or event scrolls. So that's around 5~6b, or a LOT of coin farming.

Then you'll need shield scrolls or clean slates - there aren't any shield scrolls in the cash shop now, but they're like 2.3k NX. Times 20 scrolls, so nearly 50k NX with pinks. No-boom 20% clean slates are about 250m in Windia last I remember, or you can spend hours farming coins for Tempest 10% slates.

Another option would be to buy scroll service, but of course you can't use that in combination with your event scrolls.

Then of course, who would waste all that effort scrolling an item if there was no profit! So maybe 8b sounds about right to cut even? Except who in their right mind would pay 8b for a weapon that's merely scrolled with +5 per slot.[/quote]

It's expensive and time consuming to scroll your own rod and there aren't enough lumis in bera who are rich enough/still need a scrolled one for people to profit off of it.[/quote]

Well, i don't have a "large sum of money" yet because I took a break from MS.... but I'd feel a lot better knowing that I'm gathering money up for available shining rods in the market.

I know the feeling. Its frusrating here in CMYK also
All I ever see are dozens of clean Thantos or Loveless...
That being said, I've made quite the sum of money selling scrolled Reverse/Necro

1. Buy a clean rod
2. Dupe it
3. Buy all scrolls needed for scrolling the item
4. Dupe the scrolls
5. Scroll
6. Fail scroll?
7. Use the duped rods
8. Keep scrolling
9. Profit
10. Get your items deleted

If you have a large sum of mesos then just make your own!
