I am not a huge damage whore but I've always felt it's best to pump your money into the end-game weapon. That's not damage-whoring, that's just logical to me.
I realize we're talking about early swords here, but my basic thought is that it's not logical to spend on pumping scrolls beyond 60%s into a lionheart when you'll end up using a Screamer. If you're in GMS, it's very likely that the Lunchbox quest will be repeated; the scramble for GM scrolls was insane back when LBs appeared. So, get a decent screamer, wait till November, (if you can bring yourself to,) and scroll the lunchbox. I remember when 112 att red katanas were considered top of the line. A 60%ed lunchbox will do better than that. Godly attack, godly attack speed. And if you REALLY want to blow money on equipment, save up for an attack shield. Or if you want to spend less and go 2h, get a Rigbol. You can do that as low-dex nowadays.
Just remember, standards in Maple change all the time. Waaaay back, 10%/60%s were all that was available, people got to 15x on 1x with weapons scrolled like that. I mean godlier equipment now is POSSIBLE, but I think it's illogical to think that you HAVE to have like a 125 att DS or a 21/11 Maple Shield to play. Because you really don't.
