Maple Story's real problem.

Dark scrolls drop, so that point means zip.

That's really bad logic. If you calculate everything about a dark scroll, each 30% has a 35% chance to nuke your item (30% success combined with a 35% chance for item to survive if failed leaves 35% destruction rate,) and each 70% scroll has a 15% chance to nuke your item, (70% success combined with a 15% chance to survive leaves a 15% destruction rate.)

That means that a lot of the time you're scrolling, you'll have to start from scratch... which means a lot of dropped dark scrolls needed and less resale profits from your failures. For example, if you're collecting Earring Dex at Himes, well, you might stay there for about 30 levels before you actually scroll an 11 dex earring from the scrolls you hunted. Also, remind me again where in the game I can find a Shield MA 30 or a Shield WA 30? Most of the good dark scrolls are gach only.

If you Gach, none of this is an issue; hence the increased incentive to waste your money on Gach once dark scrolls came out.
