Most cost effective way to Prime a weapon?

So I'm not sure on whether I should prime or spell trace +9 a weapon. I'm leaning towards priming but not sure what the most cost effective way to do that is. What scrolls should I be using as far as shield, innocence etc.... I'd really appreciate some help Also are coins still redeemmable via leaves or do I have to farm them? I couldn't find them in the shop.

lol, i couldn't stand watching you css that claw in your trace video, can't believe it took like 50+ for the first slot, i mean realistically i didn't even think that was possible.

@Powerpunche i know it's all just probability but it's so hard to believe some people have such bad luck with cssing. like off the top of my head the last 4 slots i slated back took 5, 7, 3, and 1 css. i remember failing two gollux scrolls and had to css them back, it only took 2 10% css. sometimes i have this irrational wish for my scrolling to fail just so i can css the slots back lol.

[quote=AshleyAttacked]If you do prime...use prots and guardians to protect your primes. To gain back failed slots stick to 10% clean slates...you can get lucky, I normally pass one 10% per every 4-5 10% clean slate scroll, lol. Worst luck I've ever had...after priming 4+ items...was 11 css to pass. And that was only once. In my experience you'll have more trouble passing a prime than a 10% css.[/quote]
10% Css are really hard to pass. Today it took me ~50 clean slates to get a slot back and this happened twice today.

You don't want to prime a weapon unless you're crazy rich. The only place where primes can be justified are on hearts and for Xenons.

The cheapest way to prime something would be to have

Max Diligence
Lucky Day Scroll
Many people/characters with prime scroll service available, use guardians if you can't get 13+
Buy prots from FM or as service
Inno if the first slot fails
CSS if there's at least 1+ success

As you can see, it's an incredible hassle to prime scroll something on a budget. You can, of course, always be inefficient and simply buy the primes from the FM, then use NX to prot/guard/shield/hammer. At which point you'll have spent 20+B and probably should have just bought the item from someone else.

Personally, I'd just spell trace with fever unless you have 20b+ lying around and don't know what to do with it.

Buy protection scrolls with mesos from FM. Also buy clean slates and not shield scrolls. You can exchange leaves for coins at the festival map.

Just do +9's there's fever time right now, and you can do all of them from 1 character, instead of only 1 per character with primes.
