As we are all aware of, once the new potential & uber Chaos scrolls hit gMS what will be considered "godly" will seem like utter pomegranate. However, is this truly the case? I had a "sky is falling" mindset about it but now that I think about it it may not be so bad.
For potential scrolls we need to remember the stats will be randomly generated so there's a very slim chance to even get the exact bonus stats you'd want on the 1st try. Then don't forget on a failure, BOOM.
The uber chaos scrolls are insanely good because you CAN'T lose stats, but only gain. However, it get's progressively harder to succeed on each one, and after about the 5th one or so you'd need the luck of the gods to succeed. Heck, I think for me I'd just be happy with 2-3 stars on my equipment. Not to mention if the uber chaos fails it's a guaranteed boom as well.
Then there's the fact that you have to have 0 slots for the equipment to work, which means you need to already have pre-scrolled the equipment before attempting to scroll for godlier stats. What this means for me is that I'm not laying a potential/uber chaos scroll anywhere near my Stormcaster's Glove, 31 DEX unfinished Zakum helm, or Pink Cape within the distance of a 10 foot pole because I don't want to gamble with a 1b+ meso piece of equipment.
So what do you think the state of equipment will be once the new scrolls hit gMS? I'll put up 4 options, can pick multiple options:
1. Current equipment will be deflated. TO THE GROUND. (~25-50% deflation)
2. Current equipment will not be affected much due to explosive properties of the new scrolls. (~5-10% deflation)
3. Current equipment will deflate, but will still have a place on the market as people (~10-25% deflation)
4. As a treat to the return of Combatnette I'll let him pick the option to Derp.
