I posted this same question on sleepywood, but I'd like to post it here as well.
What to do with the last slot? I've waited for over 2 weeks for a white scroll in scania and khaini, and I can't find a single person selling one. I have a 60% shield weapon atk already, but I wanted the white scroll as insurance.
Do I burn scrolls and risk failing for the 60%? Or do I wait out a white scroll seller?
The thing is...... this last slot, may determine if my shadower is one of the strongest shadowers in GMS or not =*(. So I really really want it to work lol.

Dude, if it's depending on being the strongest shadower in GMS.. GO FOR IT AND MAKE IT THE BEST YOU CAN!
You have nothing to lose except no stats and slot with a 60%, but still Dragon Khanjar < one of the best shadowers.
Be patient, wait for a white scroll.

I think you should wait. It's better to be play it safe instead of risking in precarious situations like this one.

Well if you fail it you can always try to Clean Slate it, if that doesn't sound too appealing to you then wait for a White Scroll.

And that leaves Rusty at somewhat more likely to succeed then fail. (60-40)
Hey, someone found a White Scroll from Mushroom Shrine Gach (In the thread where that gach was changed). Maybe you should offer him/ her.

I've seen some white scrolls in the Bera free market. If you're really desperate, make a nub and contact a seller and offer to change servers to buy it.

And the lower %'s have a breakage rate proportional to their success rate, I think, so they're not much better.

Just wait it out, burn scrolling doesn't work and you know it.

I say just use a 70%.. More likely to work than a 60% scroll. If it fails, quit. At least that's what I would do lol. You know that the 60% can still fail after you use the White Scroll right? It takes so damn long to find White Scrolls and they're expensive as pineapple. If the 70% works, then it's all good. If it fails, you quit and save rl $ than you would have spent on NX. Besides, you will probably never be the strongest Shadower in GMS since there are other Shadowers with PE'd equips out there that they claim are legitly White-Scrolled..
If you don't want to risk blowing it up.. I'd 60% it and save the 500ish mil to try and scroll a better dagger or other equips.

Scientists conducted a "marshmallow test" on several 4-year old children. The experiment was, they would offer the children one marshmallow on the spot, or they could wait 15 minutes for two marshmallows. They monitored these children throughout their lives. Based on their observations, the subjects that chose to wait for a second marshmallow did better in school, college, and job applications.
Took that sh'it from my school agenda. Remembered it would be in there somewhere.
tl;dr: wait for a white scroll.

I've had it happen, and I've only scrolled about ~40 70%s :f6: I've had pretty poor luck with them actually...
3 tops: broke 1st 70% (all with 30%'d 1st slot)
1 top: 2 70% work, 4 70% fail, last slot break
1 top: 3 70% work, 3 70% fail (again with 30%d 1st slot)
1 top: work work fail fail break
On the other hand pants scrolling went ok (first 2 were attempted burns for the tops which did not work out since almost every scroll worked, and the top scrolls failed ass anyway)
1 bottom: 6 70% in a row worked, but I stopped cause of the next item
1 bottom: 1 70% failed, 1 30% worked, 5 70% worked
1 bottom: 5 70% in a row - I'm saving this one for 60%s because it's scrolled dex, the other 2 were with jump >_>

It really is my own fault that the last slot failed. I had 40 60% shield defenses to use as burns.... The whole fkin point of burning is to let a bunch fail in a row, and then scroll w/e ur scrolling. Well 36 out of these 40 60% shield defenses WORKED.... After the 40th shield defense was used, I said the hell with it, and failed my last slot -_-"

You tried man. If I get a Clean Slate scroll 20% and you want it I'll give it to you :3
