    While survivorship bias absolutely applies here, akash is also correct in that it’s really the only way to hit a certain level of upgrades. It’s not a guaranteed path by any means but eventually you’ll hit a point where you have to go for it and get kinda lucky.

    Ha ha, good point! In that framing, choosing to NOT take risks is not an option :) I'm here for it, and I love following this big-roller journal.

    Pretty much! No amount of mesos or coins will ever let you buy say, a 25 wa cape, because if one gets made it'll never be sold. Which means the only way to acquire one is to make it yourself.

    Why can't I just make friends with all the people with the good gear and then when they quit they just give me their gear? That's risk free. Wanna be my friend akashskyakashsky fartsyfartsy VowelsVowels you're not on this list OradiousOradious

    Fourth facestomper was a 3 attack purchased for roughly 1394 coins. Progression was as shown. It was quite disappointing, as the shoe had potential to be amazing.

    I did make 2 mistake while scrolling this shoe. A 4 attack 1 slot FS should have been white scroll chaosed. Due to my disappointment however, I simply threw a regular chaos and it failed.

    The other mistake was not using a WS + CS on the first slot of the 3/5 shoe, and you will see me repeatedly make this error for some time.

    6 total chaos scrolls used, and 4 total white scrolls were used.

    At the end, the shoe was sold for 1000 coins, so the total losses were tempered somewhat.

    Facestompers used:
    3 attack: 2x
    2 attack: 1x
    1 attack: 1x

    Scrolls used:
    chaos scroll: 16x
    white scroll: 4x

    Fifth facestomper was a 3 attack purchased for roughly 1367 coins. Progression was as shown. Another disappointing result.

    5 total chaos scrolls used, and 1 total white scrolls were used.

    At the end, the shoe was sold for 400 coins, so I did get something back.

    Attempt #6

    attempt6.JPG

    Sixth facestomper was a 3 attack purchased again for roughly 1367 coins. Progression was as shown.

    Technically speaking, I have been improperly scrolling 3 attack shoes this entire time. Given prices the time, 3 attack 5 slot FS were (and still are) white scroll + CS. I proceed to fail 3 CS in a row and then lose all the attack on the fourth one. Although I saved a lot by not using CS + WS, it was a bad decision in terms of expected value.

    6 shoes in and I am down 8.2k coins. Surely it can't get worse from here right?

    Facestompers used:
    3 attack: 4x
    2 attack: 1x
    1 attack: 1x

    Scrolls used:
    chaos scroll: 25x
    white scroll: 5x

    Total coins lost (value cs/ws at 103 coin, FS at purchase/sale price):

    Seventh facestomper was a 3 attack purchased again for roughly 1424 coins. Progression was as shown.

    Total of 5 chaos and 2 white scrolls were used and the losses were massive. Over 10k coins down the drain at this point, and I have a pair of 1 attack FS.

    By the way, these are for sale if anyone is interested in offering.

    Next facestomper was a 3 attack purchased for roughly 1455 coins.

    Total of 6 chaos and 5 white scrolls were used. This was my first decent result on a facestomper chaos, and this is the pair of shoes that I currently use. It will be sold eventually however, because I need more funds to get a pair with at least 14 attack.

    Facestompers used:
    3 attack: 6x
    2 attack: 1x
    1 attack: 1x

    Scrolls used:
    chaos scroll: 36x
    white scroll: 12x

    Facestompers in stock:
    9 att 1x
    1 att 1x

    Total coins lost (value cs/ws at 103 coin, FS at purchase/sale price):
    13000

    As a long time active player, can you tell us your favorite method you've abused in the past? And why is it $maple AkashBlack, please explain in full detail also. :)

    P.S. Seems like you would be a great candidate for the balance team with your vast trove of knowledge.
