I scratch my head when I see that making a Reverse would take 400m while a dragon shiner cross would take < 2m to make? I'm planning to make a perfect crossbow (9 30%s), and I'm planning to land 3 30%s in a row before I try 50%s and white scrolls to save me a buttload of meso. So, is the perfect reverse really worth it? And what attack can the reverse black beauty clean be at most? How about the Dragon Shiner Cross clean?

dragon shiner doesnt cost 2 mil. o.o plus reverse levels up, thats win too. PoTs are cheap now. 5 X 45 = 225.

If I am correct Dragon Scales and Dragon Souls are four million each. I think you need ten or more of EACH to forge the weapon.

A Dragon Shiner for 2mil? What are you smoking? In Broa, the scales and spirits cost about 5 mil each, and you need about 15 of each if I remember right. So 150mil or so for it. EDIT: 20 of each, so 40 altogether. A lot more than 2mil.

you realize you have a 2.7% chance of landing 3 30% scrolls in a row? it'll take you 50 bows to succeed that way. Considering the cost of making the bows, I dont think thats the cost effective method. If your going for a perfect bow, do a reverse. Why settle for less going for a well scrolled lesser bow?

Considering you need 20scales and 20 spirits, it's almost more costly and harder to make a shiner than a reverse. The scales and spirits are about 5mill each, but very hard to get from monsters yourselves, and not many people sell them, whereas there are countless of PoTs in FM. Also, shiners and nescheres come with a lower base atk, and don't have a lvlup system like the Reverse Black Beauty, which can increase in power by 6atk and 6dex 3str.

so you guys suggest me making a reverse? do you also suggest the 30% method i posted above? or maybe just 1, 2 30%s before i start 50%ing?

*shrug* xbow scrolls are cheap if you feel like taking a risk, maker nescheres if you can hunt the powder. white powder is super cheap in FM though lulz i've been collecting xbow 30s for a while, but i've also been using them...atm 2 nescheres have turned out 120+ ... 124 hammered and 125 unhammered xD haven't made more than like....10 nescheres yet. but then, i'm probably super lucky with the nescheres that have come out lols. its your call :P

i'd rather make the reverse, as you gather the needed materials you are also getting gems ready, you can also scroll, and it levels up to get even stronger... boosting stats installed by gems or scrolls that originally not there when it levels. Whats not to like?
