Advanced Equip Enhancement Scroll 100% is not 100%

I had a sweetwater cane (lvl 160).
I bought a 12-star enhancement (lvl 160) scroll.
I bought an Advanced Equip Enhancement scroll.

I spell traced the cane with 70% ATT (LUCK) until it was full, applied the 12-star scroll. Resulted in a decent cane.
However, when I applied the AEE scroll, it destroyed my cane on the first application. It SHOULD be 100% success rate on the first application.

PSA: that the 100% is a lie. I lost almost 2 billion mesos on that investment.

EDIT: not a lie, just very unclear.

    The scroll does have 100% success rate - on the first star.
    You tried to use it on the 13th star.

    I agree the scroll's description is not entirely clear on that (it speaks of "successes" but doesn't clarify that these successes could have come from sources other than Advanced Equipment Enhancement scrolls), and have forwarded the concern to Nexon.

    Okay. Thanks for the clarification. I am bummed that I lost all those mesos. This was the first time I had ever invested so much on one item.

    I will get over it and learn from it.

    That's a very expensive way to enhance safely.

    The preferred way to enhance Sweetwater equipment (and any other item that isn't a Tyrant) is by using Star Force, not Enhancement scrolls.
    Star Force allows you to safeguard against destruction, up to 17 stars, by paying extra meso.
    More importantly, Star Force preserves a "trace" of your item if it is destroyed (beyond 17 stars, or if you didn't safeguard). The Trace can be applied to a clean item of the same type, to instantly give it the scrolling, potential, and 12 of the stars your destroyed item had.
