| I really want to do it but I am really scared to do it. I already bought the 10 70% accuarcy scrolls. So should I do it now or wait till I get another chance to loot a helm? |

| I would wait until you can get another helm chaz. Or at least another helmet. It's nice to have a backup. :D |

| There's 15% chance your helm goes booms. So out of 10 tries, this 15% is inevitable i guess. _____________________  |

Assuming my math is correct, 19.68% chance you will keep the helm if you use ten 70% scrolls.
100*(0.85)^10 Percent_Chance_All_Scrolls_Work = 100*(scroll_percent/100)^scrolls_used |

| Actually its not that simple. Here is the 70% Dark Scroll stats: There is 30% it will fail. If it fail it will have 50% of kaboom your item. I cant think of a fomular right now, but I dont think your fomular is correct cuz its too simple. |

| Well first off it doesn't indicate anything about if the scroll will work or not only if it blows up the item.
the scroll is 70% sucess with 50% explode on fail like you said. thus it fails 30% of the time and 50% of that 30% is 15%. Therfore the likelyhood of your 70% scroll NOT blowing up your item is 85%.
Upon the first use it is a 85% chance. If it suceeds then the next is taken from that 85% so 85% * 0.85. Also equal to .85 * .85 * 100.
So the # of scrolls of course is the # of times you multiply the working percent hince the exponent. |

| It's always safe to just wait. When you get a chance to reloot, then I'd do it. |

| Yeah I still agree with waiting till you can reloot to scroll if you plan to use dark scrolls. |

| Neal's calcs are correct already so in english, there's little chance for all 10 scrolls to work w/o losing ur helmet :) I do not recommend scrolling it especially that ur dex cap is high enough so a clean helmet will work well for now. If i were you with limited budget, i'd rather spend money on buying better att wg instead. _____________________  |
