    Re: MapleStory

    I +3'd my first Kandayo =(

    Oh wait that was with 30%s. Oh wait two slots left.

    Since GMS decided it'd be cool not to put 30%s in for pretty much anything I need, I'm going to be farming 30%s for all my Kandayos to try to make a +4 or better. Rumor has it that the Scroll NPC won't have 70/30 scrolls due to how amazing they are.

      Why are work gloves so expensive anyway?

Third, scrolls in this server aren't boosted to insane rates, so they're only slightly easier to get than they are in GMS.

            Re: MapleStory

            Yeah people trade like 2-4 Ilbis for +6 work gloves. I can't imagine what a +10 goes for.

            Since 2.147 billion is the max meso, people are pretty much treating Ilbis as an addition one billion to tack onto the price of things. ZHelms are currently 10 billion or more.

            To be honest I don't see why people sell things at all. We should just give them away. The meso limit is so easy to reach (spend about half an hour at Himes. They drop 1-3 million per kill, so about 15-45 million per mob).

            Also, most people on Local don't know this, but item-breaking isn't coded into our game. Rather, it was coded out of our game. If you use a scroll and it's supposed to break the item, you throw an error. The error basically renders you unable to do anything other than log out. If you log out, you lose a slot. Hey, better than breaking the item. You can resolve this by having someone party you and buff you. This re-establishes the fact that you're connected to the server, which basically puts you back at the state where you didn't use the scroll at all. So you basically get a free scroll this way, since the item was initially going to break. If you use a scroll and get the pass/fail animation, you can't get the slot back.

            So basically, I'm going to farm 30% scrolls for anything I can (I know of 30% dagger, claw, and 2H swords) and throw them onto anything I can find since they won't break and even two passing slots is better than all 60%s. I just wish I knew what dropped 30%s that matter for my characters, like cape LUK, 1H Sword, Staff, etc.

            @ Telvanni: Work Gloves are expensive in any version of MapleStory because they're classless gloves (anyone can wear them) and they add weapon attack (which is a huge surge in damage). Magicians don't care about them, though.

              I'm going to guess pretty much anything can drop them?

                Work gloves are still the best choice for lukless Magicians, and due to this, there are even some lukless gloves that are so amazing that almost nothing a luk Magician does could come close to touching how good the lukless gloves are.

                And the only reason people use them is because they're easy to come by. If they can't be made or gotten from gach (in the case of special wgs), they're not really worth using. And it looks like only Stirges drop them. I'd say in the case of being unable to forge wg that it would be more beneficial to farm class specific gloves, especially since it looks like your only chance of getting a good glove in that "version" is to scroll it yourself.

                    ....

                    Read the last few pages.

                    OdinMS works. 8x EXP. Odinms.de is the website. You sign up and wait 72 hours to get a game account.

                    LocalMS works. 1000x EXP. Localms.org is the website. You cannot sign up at this time.

                    OdinMS is closer to putting out third job, but LocalMS has all of the content excluding third and fourth jobs. They have all the maps, all the scrolls, etc. Odin still doesn't have Ludi.

                    OdinMS's server is laggy, but stable. Local's server is perpetually full and crashes often, but lag-free when it's up.

                      Local has 1000x drop as well.
                      Odin has 8x drop but they seemed to have "fixed" the drop rate so equips dont drop as often as they used to but they claim its 8x drop... meh i may just start playing my hermit again >.>

                        Local does not have 1000x drop. If they did, I'd get money on every kill and equips on every other kill. That's not the case.

                        I've killed thousands of enemies looking for scrolls without any dropping.

                            Re: MapleStory

                            Yes.

                            Meso drop is tied with the EXP a monster yields. It's just like... Meso = EXP * (RAND 0.25 * 1.25). Or something like that. I don't know Java anymore. Basically the meso is the EXP in a range from a fourth of it to 1.25x it. I can't confirm that, obviously, but you get my point. The LMS admin team says they're aware of the inflation on the server but can't fix it manually as they'd have to reduce the EXP gain to do so.

                            Edit: Apparently the "fix" I had for scrolling doesn't really work. It looks like it works, but it's just cosmetics. It really eats your slot no matter what you do.

                            Oh well, better than it breaking.

                            Edit 2: Oh god +7 Zedbug

                            We don't have 30% polearm so they were all 70%s. They all worked. Yesyesyesyesyesyses. The problem now is that I'm only halfway done. I have a perfect polearm, but I'm a hybrid spearman. I need a good Pinaka. And my luck with those is terrible =/
