And I demand you to add me (oIAAWo) if you use Broa!

EFFIN REACHED LVL 25!

I rewarded myself with buying all of the lvl 25 armor + lvl 25 two-handed sword. I also got a Raggedy Old Cape (yay me). The only dissappointment now is that I am officially broke. But I'm not worrying. I'm just gonna train on the Axe Stumps again, as they drop Wizard Wands (they sell for 100k), Battle Shields (I sell at store for 85k), and Blue Avengers (also sell at store for 80k). And all three of those items are rare drops, so I got some work to do...

Re: MapleStory

If the axe stumps didn't drop them while you were training on them, what makes you think they'll drop them now? You're in for a bunch of inefficient XP, man.

Re: MapleStory

Not my fault I want effin money...

...do Wild Boars drop rare items? GAMEFAQS TIME!

Re: MapleStory

Wild boars drop archer pants and tops quite often for me.

Re: MapleStory

First of all, booster is +1 for the first 10 then +2 for the next 10. I'm pretty sure some people just leave it at 11 for their entire career. *shrug* I'll leave some comments in bolded brackets.

3 Amp [To unlock Booster] [As bandit pointed out to me, the magic boost goes up 2% for the first 4 levels, then 1% for quite a few and 0% for some, even. HS.net shows the full list of each level now, so check it out. I will be getting 4 amp right away since 1 point will be a rather good boost for my attack.]
11 Booster [More attacks seems better first than stronger attacks] [This is basically what I'm doing, so yeah, that works.]
30 Thunder Spear (maxed) [A strong single-target seems like a better start, and looks like it'll offer better training opportunites.] [Here's where I first have a real issue with your build. TSpear is good, yes, but by the time you'd max it with your build you will be level 85. The first significant lightning-weak thing (other than clangs XD) are Vikings. They're level 93, with 50k HP each. Now, at level 85 you could take some down, but they'd put quite a hurting on you at this point and with no way to mass-freeze/seal them you'd have trouble taking on mobs. Usually people will max Ice Strike first and hang out with Bains (L90, 45k HP (5k less than the lowest vikings)) cuz they can mass freeze them from the several sniping spots in the caves. Fast levels, good items, and not much harm to you since they get frozen.]
30 Ice Strike (maxed) [Then my nice mass-attack.] [Like I said above, it'd be better if this came first. With your build, this would be done at level 95. If you were just finishing TSpear at 95 instead you could move from Bains to Vikings and their bigger, L98 counterparts (58k HP for 2600 exp o__O) and be able to mass-freeze then TSpear away. It just makes more sense to get Spear after Strike.]
27 Amp (maxed) [Extra power for my main attacks goes here.] [Most people would say get compo first because it does more damage over time to neutral and ice-weak enemies. Comp is needed if you wanna fight Zakum, cuz TSpear is sooooo slow, even with booster. Of course, if we don't have Zakum by the time you're coming up on your 100s, then go right ahead with this.]
30 Comp (maxed) [Out of what's left, seems like a good choice.]
1 Resistance [Getting 23 in one point? Hell yeah!] [I'd suggest you throw a point in this much earlier, just because it won't slow you down a significant amount in terms of when you'll get things (perhaps not at all, I'm not sure...) and it'll come in handy. I dunno if it stops El Nath freezing from hurting you as much, you'd have to ask somebody else, but 1 point would be nice, I think.]
9 Booster (maxed) [More booster time seems more important than elemental resistance.] [Like I said, I'm pretty sure a lot of people just leave this at 11, but I dunno. I guess if you don't get Seal you'd have extra points...]
10 Resistance [Whoo, situational defence. Last for a reason.]

But yeah, main thing = Ice Strike first seems like a better idea.

Re: MapleStory

T-Spear is really slow and it takes a while to kill even the level 93 viking. Although this was a level 78 or 79 mage I saw (day Ludi was released).

So uhh... I'd probably go with maxing ice strike first and doing Bains for a while... Then, I'm not sure...

Noah: I think once you get 15+ in explosion, you'll move from YnP to Dual Ghost Pirates. They are amazing experience for a DK friend, and they are fire weak. I can show you where they are.

Re: MapleStory

Bandit, when you've seen a level 128 Ice-Lightning Mage do 18,000 damage with Thunder Spear every second, you no longer think it sucks.

Re: MapleStory

My build will be quite similar to Tokzic's, but Ice Strike first, (and even a point in it before I get booster) a point in resistance earlier probably, and I'll get seal instead of maxing booster and putting so many points into resistance.

Re: MapleStory

Just decided what my fire mage build is gonna be.

It's so easy. Oh man.

Everything maxed except slow. I won't be getting slow at all. Then I'll be using my 1 extra point to finish of MA.

PS yes, including poison. Max poison should be loads of fun, and it's not like slow is that great anyway.

Re: MapleStory

My workglove is coming along nicely. Ludi PQ is kind of annoying, maybe it's just because I'm still low level and people are really prejudice towards low levels there..

Re: MapleStory

dragon, why are you scrolling it for dex? You should be wanting attack, not dex. XD

Re: MapleStory

Interesting glove. XP

Squeek: Hot. Never said it sucked, just, on a lower level mage, it's not that great compared to ice strike's abilities.

Anyways.. since Pat was in Ludi and soloed 5 gatekeepers, I decided to goof around... Met up with Natural (DK friend since 40s) and we went to grim watches... Ouch.. heh... I didn't die, but they were tough... I tried clocks, since he was training there because he had no priest to train with, and he didn't feel like losing a bunch of money on dual ghost pirates. So, I timed it... wow... slooow exp.

I did a the dollhouse and the following quests afterwards, which nabbed me a 60% claw scroll. Then I hung out in that first area in the slide. Some 29 warrior asked to party so I'm like alright. Hasted him... Goofed around a bit there. Few minutes later, someone who had just shown up, defamed me and took off. Some level 15 mage was walking around there picking up stuff we didn't get, and dying here and there. I dropped him a wisdom ore i found, a bunch of the monster drops, and 5k. I gave my new warrior buddy 15k, 46 white pots, and 100 blue pills (from dollhouse). I asked that level 15 mage if he was having fun. He said no, not really, that he's stuck there. So I gave him 30k and said to get back to Victoria. He's like "wow really? you don't have to" while in the trade window, with me already hitting trade on the cash. XD What a good noob.

Bunch of others were all wow cool. And I was all WOW I HIT 3800! Sweet! So others joined the party and they all loved haste and were having a blast, which was cool. The warrior guy famed me. Some random guy who apparently hates hermits defamed me and left (after he said all hermits should f'ing die.. lol). Another guy had famed me again. Then finally I left. I was there for an hour. XD Was fun. They all loved it.

Oh and that warrior is now on my buddy list. He seemed cool. Didn't talk much of anything, except (f2) sometimes, since he had a helmet on. XD
