SuperNerd Wrote:I think it's just a generic warning for when you use any type of Scroll on a locked item, as a forewarning that if, say, that scroll you're using was a 70% or 30%, that the item still--obviously--has the chance of being destroyed and thus would destroy the locked item.

Usually people lock their items so hackers can't drop them/take them/destroy them. So that's why the warning is there, even if you, the owner, are using a Scroll and even if the Scroll is or isn't a 70% or 30%.

Combattente Wrote:But.. "Due to the potency of the scroll" sounds a lot better.

I think they did it purposely.

eos367 Wrote:They still could have phrased it "Due to the potency of a dark scroll, if you're using one it could still destroy your item" or similar.

eos367 Wrote:It's just a glitched (sort of) warning.

They apparently couldn't do a check on whether or not the scroll was light/dark for some reason, so any scroll on a sealed item gives a warning "just in case".

The whole "Due to the potency of the scroll" is really like a bad translation, it should be more along the lines of "If you're using a dark scroll".

It's just there so you understand your seal won't keep a dark scroll from breaking the item.

alwzn4vr Wrote:The purpose of an item lock is then somewhat negated by the fact that you can scroll the item with dark scrolls. The idea is that if you're account has been compromised, the 'hacker' can't drop/trade/sell the item. So to prevent this we have an item lock. So now as the 'hacker' I have a good chance of destroying the item just by applying 30% scrolls.

eos367 Wrote:Except if you've still got slots on your item, how is your item good enough to warrant locking? It's not "done" yet.

If it's as good as you're going to get it, 10% the last slot or w/e.

SoupySoupy Wrote:What about a 63 attack 2 (4) slot skanda kind of situation?

I know quite a few people with items "In progress". Depending on how active a money maker you are finishing off the last few slots of a perfect item can take quite awhile if you're whiting.

I suppose it's a personal preference, but I'd sure as hell lock something like that. Even if it wasn't done yet.
