ipecac: Here is an excel utility to determine if you should use SMS or regular scrolls to improve your item. If you are scrolling a frenzy, several titles may be acceptable because even a pikeman title is useful for resale. Type the information into the indicated cells. One complete, you can manipulate the number of scrolls, number of usable titles, and from that the decision to scroll can be made. Excel formulas will follow on the next post.

ipecac: A1: Number of weapon titles

A2: Number of shield titles

A3: Number helm titles

A4: Number armor titles

A5: Number boot titles

A6: Number amulet titles

A7: Number ring titles



A9: number acceptable titles

A10: number of scrolls

A11: credits for scrolls

A12: cost per scroll

A13: number scrolls can buy



B1: 29

B2: 28

B3: 32

B4: 30

B5: 30

B6: 42

B7: 45



B9: 8

B10: 8

B11: 100

B12: 8

B13: =B11/B12



C1: =1-(1-$B$9/B1)^$B$10

C2: =1-(1-$B$9/B2)^$B$10

C3: =1-(1-$B$9/B3)^$B$10

C4: =1-(1-$B$9/B4)^$B$10

C5: =1-(1-$B$9/B5)^$B$10

C6: =1-(1-$B$9/B6)^$B$10

C7: =1-(1-$B$9/B7)^$B$10

ipecac: B9-B12 are the only cells to change when you use this. I hope it works ok.

ipecac: You could enter 200 credits to equal the cost of a sms and say mp cost of scrolls is only 6c. That means you could buy 33 scrolls. If only an ultimate title is acceptable, you only have a 52% chance for that. In that case, a super magic scroll would probably be nice.

kevorkian: B1 entry should be 35, I forgot class titles now available on scrolls.
