Well i had to scroll a lv.30 pirate overall, and i couldn't buy it with 1 10% that lands on it with 9 slots left, so i did it myself. I was surprised, because bathrobes like that sell for 10mill and get sold, but i used 3 overall dex scrolls which costed me 2.5mill, and it worked after the 3rd one. That got me thinking, if i can make money off that. What are your opinions?

Summary: He wants to use 10% scrolls so if it works in the first slot, he could sell it and repeat scrolling and selling.

This wouldnt exactly count as merchanting, i would call it Scrolling o.o.

Well that makes no sense but common overalls are worth more since everyone can use them

if im interpreting your thread right, you want to scroll lvl 30 pirate overalls. thats a horrible idea, always scroll common overalls/high lvl certain job overalls

ok this mite make it seem more understanding. a bathrobe has 10 slots. I want to scroll the first slot with 10% overall dex. If i do so, i'll have 9 slots left. I see people sell like that for 10mill. Is it a good idea to do that, and make profits from it? A bathrobe, not pirate overall

There's a reason they cost 10mil. Overall dex 10% costs about 1.5mil. 10% means that theoretically, for every 10 you use, 1 will work. This means that you're going to be spending 15mil to gain 10mil... You lose money.

i get them for 700k, fm sells for 1mill @ Frozen i never said it was a new idea, and it's kind of merchanting in a way that you make profit
