Half Billion Mesos Spent Scrolling Warrior Gloves in MapleStory Artale

In the economy-driven world of MapleStory Artale, Mesos aren’t just currency — they’re power, prestige, and potential. Every major purchase and enhancement decision comes with a risk-versus-reward calculation, especially when it comes to scrolling rare equipment. Recently, a player made waves in the Artale community after sinking over 500 million Mesos attempting to scroll a set of Warrior Gloves. The result? A cautionary yet fascinating tale of ambition, RNG heartbreak, and the relentless chase for perfection in MapleStory Artale.

In this article, we’ll break down the strategy behind glove scrolling, why Warrior Gloves are so highly coveted in Artale, and whether a half-billion Mesos investment was worth the gamble.

Why Warrior Gloves Are So Valuable in Artale

In MapleStory Artale, gloves aren’t just basic equipment pieces — they’re crucial for maximizing a Warrior’s combat potential. Between attack boosts, critical hit chance bonuses, and defensive stats, a properly scrolled pair of gloves can elevate a mid-tier build into a boss-clearing powerhouse.

Top Reasons Warrior Gloves Are In-Demand:

Base stats for Strength and Weapon Attack.

Upgrade slots that allow for high-damage potential.

Compatibility with endgame scrolls like Chaos Scrolls and Attack 60% Scrolls.

Key slot in enhancing overall DPS for late-game bosses like Frost Warden and Dread Shard.

For serious players chasing leaderboard positions and elite guild spots, a well-scrolled pair of gloves is non-negotiable.

The Scroll Gamble: What Was the Plan?

The player, known in the Artale Discord community as RekkonZero, publicly announced his goal: to create one of the highest attack Warrior Gloves in the server’s history. He started with a Legendary-grade Flameforged Gauntlet (+8 base attack) and planned to use a combination of Attack 60% Scrolls and Chaos Scrolls for potential stat boosts.

Breakdown of Scroll Costs:

Attack 60% Scrolls for Gloves: ~18 million Mesos each.

Chaos Scrolls of Goodness: ~35–40 million Mesos each.

White Scrolls (to protect slots): ~25 million Mesos per attempt.

With 7 upgrade slots available and factoring in protection scrolls and failures, RekkonZero estimated needing around 20–25 scroll attempts to land a +15 attack result.

The Reality: RNG Is a Brutal Mistress

Despite meticulous planning, RNG rarely plays by the rules. After several hours of scrolling attempts:

3 Attack 60% Scrolls landed successfully.

4 failed outright (despite protection).

2 Chaos Scrolls backfired, reducing stats.

5 White Scrolls wasted on failed attempts.

3 Scrolls increased stats by marginal amounts.

In total:

Over 500 million Mesos spent.

Net result: +12 attack final glove.

While respectable, it fell short of the original +15 goal and, in terms of raw Mesos-to-DPS efficiency, was a questionable return on investment.

Was It Worth It? Analyzing the Numbers

Let’s compare RekkonZero’s glove to the current Artale market:

Unscrolled Legendary Flameforged Gauntlet: ~200 million Mesos.

+12 Attack version: Market estimate ~450–500 million Mesos.

+15 Attack versions (very rare): 800 million to 1 billion Mesos, if available.

Based purely on market resale, RekkonZero’s gloves would sell for roughly what he invested — breaking even at best. However, the glove’s non-tradable status after multiple enhancement scrolls means it’s now bound to his character.

Takeaway: From a resale perspective, it wasn’t profitable. But from a personal gear optimization standpoint, gaining a +12 attack glove without relying on the volatile market is still a major personal victory.

What the Community Had to Say

The event stirred a heated discussion in the MapleStory Artale forums and Discord channels. Some players praised the dedication:

“Props to Rekkon for chasing the dream glove. It’s the kind of madness this game thrives on.”

Others viewed it as a cautionary tale:

“500m Mesos and you didn’t even hit +14? This is why I just farm and buy pre-scrolled gear. RNG is rigged.”

The debate highlights an ongoing division in the Artale player base — those who gamble on their own enhancement attempts versus those who accumulate Mesos through farming and trade to buy finished gear.

Final Thoughts: Should You Try It?

Is spending half a billion Artale Mesos on scrolling Warrior Gloves worth it? It depends on your priorities.

If you value personal achievement and server bragging rights: Yes. Rolling the dice on your own gear can be thrilling and rewarding, even if costly.

If you care about coin efficiency and practical power progression: Probably not. Market buying or trading for high-tier gloves is often a safer, more cost-effective route.

Ultimately, MapleStory Artale is about risk, ambition, and chasing those rare perfect rolls. While RekkonZero’s gamble didn’t yield server-breaking gloves, it added a memorable chapter to Artale’s evolving community lore — and that alone has value beyond Mesos.
