I'm about to maker a level 100 overall. But I'm confused as to what I should scroll it with. What do BM's scroll their overalls with? STR or DEX? And if it matters I'm aiming for a Reverse Engaw.

most people scroll dex because it is cheaper. but str overalls are better because they lower your str cap. although they are quite a bit more expensive

But what if say, you needed 20STR. You added that to your base. But you retrieved that lost 20AP in the overall if scrolled for DEX.

higher base dex and lower base str makes you stronger with MW. thats the only difference

It's very difficult for you to upgrade to a new overall if it's str scrolled, since str scrolled overalls are "custom fit," that is, very few people are willing to pay for a precisely 19 str overall since it might be too much str for them or not enough, for example. With that into consideration it's difficult for you to resell your overall [which is very bad since str scrolls for overallls are expensive]. The majority of people would rather scroll and purchase dex overalls.

Thanks for that arch3r. I forgot to take MW into consideration. @Revenant. I'll have enough funding to maker a overall and hopefully it'll reach 20+ STR.

[/quote] Just know that reselling it will be next to impossible. If you ever upgrade your overall, don't count on a return from your first one. EDIT: Didn't see you were making a reverse overall. I guess it's the same with dex overall, but really, DEX is much cheaper and more worth it. Unless you're a super stat whore, is 3-5 more dex from MW worth the extra 300m+ you'll put into a str overall? You probably have less chances at getting a good one as well. Think about it. With the same amount of money you can probably attempt scrolling a dex reverse overall 3 times as you could a STR one once. With more tries, you're more likely to get a better overall. I'm just trying to save you from making a huge mistake.

no selling a STR overall isnt impossible. it is actually pretty easy, most high roller BM will jump on it for a chance to lower their base str.

Str overalls are cheaper to make (level 100 overall) with advanced STR crystals being soo cheap (advanced Dex being like 100+mil or something in broa) Just get the idea of str you want, Reach that goal, then scroll for dex P/C 25 str 25 dex overall xD

it depends on your base str duhhhhh! But if you had an option, keep your str low.

Get a reverse. use adv dex,str, an dark crystal(if u have funds for that) on it with a stim whichever stat comes out higher u scroll for. there problem solved, leave it all in the hands of the maple god RNG. But idealy i would rlly just do dex cause its cheaper an helps ur range more. Plus how hard is getting 75 str rlly if u saw wanted a reverse bow as endgame which i would say is ideal. str scar:17 yellow belt scrolled:5str reverse shoes (if intermediate used):at least 7str str pac: 6 str hmmm nvm is kinda hard unless u a stat w**** an have the money for it.
