Exponential Scrolls

Your 7 30 %'d weapons not good enough anymore? Well, have no fear, because new Exponential Scrolls are out! If one succeeds, it will either send an item down to its root, or it will send it up to the next power! It has a 1% success rate, and a 90% destroy rate.

So say you have a 9 att WG with one slot left. Pretty fancy, right? Well, if you use this scroll, chances are it will be gone without a trace. And there's that .5% chance that it will go down to 3 attack. But, there's also a .5% chance it will go up to 81 attack! Now being sold for triple max mesos by your local merchant today!

That scroll is completely game-breaking. An 81 watk glove would set you up for half the watk at the higher lvls.

The effect is sooooo broken that it's not even funny.

Cool, cant wait to 1-hit CGs and skeles

With a regular swing.

Even doubling stats is bad, exponential is... bah.

Many scrolls give multiple effects.

Overall luck scrolls would make thieves almost invincible due to extreme avoid, say.

While we are at it, why not add infinity scrolls? They have a 1/0 chance of working, and if they do, the item creates a black hole that destroys the whole freaking universe.

And that's gotta be insane exp.

This is completely obvious. 81 ATT Work Gloves are the new Onyx Apples. That really makes certain monsters Like Hime (Dreamy Ghosts) a weak little worms.

Pshh, I vote for 10k watk weapons >_> That's a guaranteed .5 mil DPS!

Think about it, if you used a scroll on a 100 atk clean weapon.... x.x
10000 atk weapon.

Lol, I've actually written '1/0' on a homework assignment before, more than once. Technically incorrect, but Calculus does that to you.

How about these two to make this type of scroll more balanced:

~~~~~

Method 1

You can only use an exponential scroll on the first slot of an item that you can equip by yourself. (No legendary spirit)

20% Break
self explanatory

20% Fail no Break (but consumes ALL the slots on the item)
For example, let's take a purple WG with 5 slots. Landing the scroll in this category will make it a 0 slot purple WG.

20% Item stats (randomly chosen) are squared.
For example, let's take a 2 luk 3def purple WG with 5 slots. Landing the scroll in this category will make it a 4luk 9def 4 slots purple WG.

20% Item stats are square rooted
For example, let's take a 2 luk 3def purple WG with 5 slots. Landing the scroll in this category will make it a 1luk 2def 4slots purple WG. (Root two is 1.4 which is rounded down. Root 3 is 1.7 which is rounded up)

10% effect works on other items that you have equipped, randomly chosen.
Anything that you have equipped may be affected either by square root or by squaring.

10% effect breaks other items that you have equipped, randomly chosen.
Anything else that you're wearing might be destroyed.

Method 2

Works like a chaos scroll but only works for the first slot of an item and can either square or square root stats.

That would screw the economy up soooo much

Haha, I think you guys are missing something.

There's a 1/200 chance one of these will work. And chances are, it'll destroy the item. So only the most stupid dmg wh0res would even consider using this on a WG with more than 6 att.

Besides, I said this as a joke, not to impliment in the game :p

It only takes one, and you wouldn't even have to use anything rare as the base - a 16 meba, +6 with 100% to 22, and square that? 484 attack.

55 attack V2K? 3025 attack without even trying to raise its attack first.

And god forbid you manage to get TWO to square...

"B> removal of damage cap for my 9m attack bow"

Well, chances are these scrolls would be rare and expensive, probably sold by merchants for 500m+. That means somebody with triple max mesos would be able to buy 12 of these scrolls, and chances are they all would fail. That means somebody could spend all their money and have absolutely nothing to show for it.

Besides, landing 2 is rediculously improbable. 1/200*1/200=1/40,000. That's a .0025% chance.

Once again, I don't mean I want these to be implimented in the game. >.>

What about this?
The scroll adds or subtracts 2^max slots-current slots stats at a 10% success rate, with 100% destruction on failure, making it useless to use it on the first slot.
edit: Now that I think about it, it would probably be better if it was based on color.

3 working on a noob weapon?
15*15=225
225*225=50,625
50,625*50,625=2,562,890,625 weapon att for a lvl 1...
1/200*1/200=1/40,000
1/40,000*1/40,000=1/160,000,000
0.00000000625
.000000625%
but still feasible.
