30% Scrolls-For better or worse?

When you add up all the %s, you get 200% in all. 70% chance of failing, and then another 50% chance of exploding. So if you have a 30% scroll, then there is a 120/200, or 3/5ths chance of you getting screwed. There is the same chance that it will just remove a slot, and a measly 1/3ths chance (roughly) that your scroll will do what you hoped it would. So if you really look at it, 30% scrolls aren't really the best option unless you have a lot of money to blow.

An example of the odds would be, say your scrolling a hat with 30% scrolls. Of three of the five scrolls, you will either fail and lose a slot, or the item will explode. With only 1.5 scrolls (not possible, but meh) you have a chance of success. Which means, unless you are super lucky, you are gonna explode your item, or end up with something horrible.

Umm...your math is weird...how did you get 200% in all? There's one scroll and if you use it, there's an 100% chance that one of the three options will happen...not 200% :f6:
30% chance of working. 70% chance of failing.
if it fails, [70%], then there's a 50% chance it breaks.
70% * 50% = 35% of breaking
So...30% work, 35% fail and break, 35% fail and not break.
