MapleScroller is live!

This is so cool!!! Love the "stop" feature if a slot fails.

 

cool stuff dude, very clean UI

 

Can you add the option to use white scrolls?

 

First of all, this is an amazing tool. The interface is very clean and the idea of simulating scroll outcomes instead of guessing is fantastic. Huge respect for building and sharing this with the community.

I did get a bit confused when trying to use it though, and I realized my mental model of what the tool would do was slightly different.

What I instinctively expected was something like this:

Instead of me choosing a specific scroll and strategy first, I would pick an item (for example a Red Sauna Robe, or even just "Mage gear") and then let the tool run simulations across all relevant scroll options automatically.

So the flow would be more like:
Item → Desired stat (e.g. INT / Mage optimization) → Run simulation

Then the tool would output something like a ranked list of strategies, for example:

1. Best expected value strategy
2. Safer lower risk strategy
3. High risk high reward strategy

And for each strategy it would show things like:

• Which scrolls to use
• In what order
• When to stop (after first fail, after two fails, etc.)
• Expected cost vs expected result

Basically something that tells the player "these are the optimal strategies according to the simulations".

The reason this is the mental model I came in with is because, from a player perspective, the need usually looks like one of these two cases:

1. I am playing a specific class and want to scroll an item for myself.
2. I have an item that I want to improve and then sell for maximum mesos, even if I do not personally use it.

So the typical input might be:

• A specific item intended for a specific class
• Or a general item usable by multiple classes, where the user selects the desired stat (for example INT for mages)

Then the tool would run all relevant simulations automatically and output the strategies whose outcomes have the highest probability of occurring.

Maybe I am approaching this the wrong way, which is possible. But as a user coming in without knowing the intended workflow, that was the expectation in my head, and that is where I got a bit lost.

It might be helpful to either:

• Add a short explanation of the intended usage flow
• Or add an "auto strategy finder" mode that searches strategies instead of requiring the user to define one
• Another feature idea: selecting a class and letting the tool determine the most valuable stat combination automatically. For example, a thief might benefit from both LUK and DEX (just as an example), so instead of selecting a single stat manually, the tool could evaluate stat combinations that are actually optimal for that class.

Also one small UI suggestion: I think it would be really helpful if the header row in the Simulation Results table was sticky, so that when scrolling down through the results the column titles remain visible.

Either way, this is a fantastic project and the UI is really well done. Tools like this are exactly what the community needs.
