RED micro-site now out!

It depends, there are some concerns, but it depends. If GMS does get Kritias and depending on how top/bottom is treated, if a player can free up 2-3 of pednant/face/eye slots. You would lose

30% Boss
30% additive PDR
Lots of Money from recubing and scrolling

But you would gain

53 Attack
175 All Stat
7-12 New Scroll Slots for 6 equips
1 Extra Star to enhance when you finish scrolling new slots for weapon

Not sure if I did that correctly. But to simplfy, instead of having a 300 attack weapon you can trade it in and be able to scroll/enhance it to a 352 attack weapon. Overall a trade-in not including set effects could be a over 100 attack extra from three equips if your funded enough.

Again not sure if I am understanding everyting correctly. I also have conerns about the tradeability, top/bottom implications, carry over translation, etc.

Oh yeah you're right, missed the 2 chars where it specified 140/150 set equips.
I kinda skimmed over and only saw that it didn't specifically mention Empress or Root Abyss.

To be honest, I don't know if "装备道具" means set equipment or not. My interpretation is, no it doesn't mean so, because 装备 and 道具 both mean equipment, and in the images both terms were used interchangeably. I will reserve judgement on this until we get more information. Losing that much %Boss and %IgnorePDR from RA is very painful though, and I am very sure nobody wants to lose their Tyrant's superior item tag just for a lame increase in item level, not when there's no further point in increasing the item level and a further enhancement gives paltry bonuses.

On a side note, the benefit of this carrying-over is: 1) you don't need to rescroll your perfectly-scrolled (or THEN-perfectly scrolled equipment... given how they dish out new and better scrolls...) equipment, and 2) you don't need to re-enhance your equipment, except for the last star "slot" (if you so feel that it is worth it to further enhance it, given that enhancement stats are fully carried over). That also implies that 3) you need not perfect your, say... Empress weapon, and still allow it to have its potential rank.

The obvious downside is... you lose your perfect potential, and as of now we don't know if the base stats are carried over (i.e. stat-for-stat), or if bonus stats are carried over (e.g. base 120 +35 WA from scrolling 7*5WA scroll ---> base 125 + 35WA from scrolling). The best outcome for us is the latter, and if it's the former it is... dumb, as of now.

It remains to be seen if your slot count for the carried-over Vortex equipment is going to be 0, or 7. Either ways, you don't actually lose money from scrolling, and if it's the latter you stand to gain with further scrolling (but yes you still have to use lots of money to further scroll...)

Just how much stats does one last enhancement on a normal equipment (say... 11th --> 12th star) give?
