Re: MapleStory

I didn't start 1hkoing a lot until 80.. like 35% of the time? I dunno. That's without SP. I didn't start using SP until 81, and then it turned into about 85-90% of the time.

Re: MapleStory

So where's the F/P Mage in there?

Proton is I/L.

Re: MapleStory

I'm back.

I'll probably not go to Jetis for the 2x EXP, because it'll just be KS wars and I may end up getting less EXP there than on a normal rate. EVERYONE wants to go to Jetis for the 2x EXP/Drops.

I'll get a good place, though. Feel free to suggest stuff.

Re: MapleStory

Tosh: Block gollems might work. I'd suggest checking it out now and seeing if it's crowded, cuz it very well might be. It's pretty far out, though, so you should prolly take time now to get Ludi rock scrolls if you plan to hang out there on Thursday. I think the gumball machine is only a few floors up, so you could NPC drops there instead of scrolling all the way back up.

Squeek: Flenaris posted that in his guide, so I'm guessing he did it? I'm pretty sure he had poison in the 20s (he oughta have 29 by level 120, I think, but it might be an SS from earlier) by then so .02% HP sounds about right. And I can't see ANYBODY in that SS without looking very hard, so Flen might be hiding in there somewhere. XD

Proton is I/L.

Probably in his party.

Anyway, I'm sure most of you don't care, but look at this:



Thrown together, so there might be errors. I just thought it was worthy of noting that Zombie Mushroom has best exp per HP ratio and that Klock has the lowest.

EDIT: We don't even have zMM or bone fish... don't know why I bothered adding those. Whatever.

Re: MapleStory

Green snails have .375 exp per hp, which is much higher than all of those. I'm quite surprised by Thanatos/GK's ratio, though. I've heard they're actually good for exp as long as you can survive them, so I may go there once I have maxed Seal. =)

Re: MapleStory

Yeah, but remember only like 2 spawns at a time. That makes AOE inneffective.

Not a problem for you, I know, but it makes me have a much harder time.

Side note: I never knew Thanatos was undead. When I went and saw them I didn't take any damage, so I didn't heal.

Re: MapleStory

ckj: Early 70s suck for everybody. I bet you 1hk Coolies now, though, whereas I'm happy that I'm 2hk'ing them for faster exp than anywhere else. I think it's funny that Jason complained about still being at Coolies in the early 70s, when he was 1hk'ing them most of the time and I still 3hk them 5-10% of the time. -___-

Sigh.. This is why I hate Scania. Zombie maps are almost always full, even at 2 in the morning... The only way I ever get a map is if a friend offers one or if I share with some random person. Usually that random person leaves so I get to solo for a bit and then I have to go repot and find another spot again. The horrible thing is, zombies is the only place you can really train efficiently as a ranger. Lusters suck because I can't 1hk them a lot (maybe 40% of the time) and the low exp for 2 hits is a waste of time. The map sucks unless you party there with a warrior(bottom) and a hermit/sin(middle) and I take the top. Hectors suck because of the map (I can't handle the hills because my arrows end up going into the ground -_-) Buffys are alright, but very very costly because of their damn magical attack. The map is also very large, making it extremely inefficient to solo. Yetis have slow spawn, and the transforming ones take too long. YnP is very very costly until I get puppet. Crocos have horrible spawn, as do golems. Kitty maps are horrible for archers because of the steps and also that damned magic attack. Cere are alright except it is so far away and it is usually crowded. Hot sands is the only place where I get decent exp quickly, but that is going to be super crowded during the 2x exp thing. In the end, being a ranger sucks so badly right now. I might go back to it later if I have the patience or I am really really bored. As of now, getting dumped with homework and everything, so ms will have to wait for a couple of weeks. =(
O_o
EDIT: So, any suggestions on where I could go taking into consideration that zombies are out of the question? =(

Re: MapleStory

I know what you have to deal with as far as arrows hitting walls (which really sucks on slopes like at Jetis, when you oughta be able to hit them and the arrow shoots right under them and it doesn't count for some reason), but I also have crappier range. Grupins aren't too bad, really. I see this one 3rd job archer guy there all the time (he apparently likes channel 4 as much as I do) bombing them to stop the matk then Strafing them to death. He can shoot the top from the left without having to climb up and around like I do, which is totally unfair. D:<

What I would suggest, though, is to put a point in puppet so you can handle higher stuff now. I stuck a point in Seal and it helps immensely, cuz I can tackle way higher level stuff and take hardly any damage. Good news for you is that puppet ALWAYS works, whereas I have to recast Seal 10+ times every so often cuz it's only a 38% chance. Bad news is that level 1 puppet only lasts 5 seconds, so you'd have to re-puppet every monster or two, depending on how fast you kill. It takes me about 8-9 seconds to kill a lycan, so I only have to Seal it once (lasts 10 seconds), but you'd need to re-puppet things around that level if you kill about as fast as I do. Of course, if you put all your points in puppet next level, you'd have it for 10 seconds (and 200 more hp, but same MP cost), which would do a lot more good.

And are seriously ALL the zombie maps taken? I know everybody is always on Zombie3, but it seems pretty easy to get a spot at Zombie2, and people hardly ever CC into my channel and nobody tries to steal it from me. Some people *cough*Chris*cough* seem to refuse to fight on any zombie map but Z3, but I don't think it's that big of a deal....

Re: MapleStory

Yes, it is quite impossible to get a zombie channel, even on a weeknight. I see people there the whole day when I pass through (at least 8 hours) who refuse to leave their map. It is fcking ridiculous. The only way I did level so fast up to 70 was because my friends actually ksed a map from this 5x sin (those are the worst...) for me. Well, I'll just give it a break. I was thinking about letting people play on my ranger a bit if I level it so you guys don't have to worry about dying really. I'll level it and then I will decide later on. I think I'll add in 1 point to puppet and rest into strafe because the stronger strafe is, the faster I will level. It is really surprising how much 5% or so damage changes everything. Level 4 strafe is quite awesome compared to level 1... I can only imagine maxed strafe *drools

Re: MapleStory

Ya know, I don't think Booster helps much more at all. The difference between the speed of my explosion compared to explosion in videos of people with 11 Booster isn't much different. Honestly, it only barely helps if like, I'm fighting big stuff and I need 10 hits to kill it, but the casting time negates the tiny tiny bonus (even when ropes are involved, it takes more time to jump on a rope and cast it than it does to fire a couple shots, and booster doesn't make my shots much faster at all).

I've heard other people say that booster sucks, too, so I'm thinking I may just go all in with explosion next level. Level 1 Seal has helped me more than booster, and having longer range explosion would help way more than level 11 booster. I don't mind the speed of explosion without booster and I don't see a big difference with booster, so fck booster up the ass, I'm getting explosion first.

EDIT: Example, read this ice mage's thread, he said he casts ice strike 56 times/min without booster, 61 times a minute with booster. 5 more casts a minute? Who the hell cares, if those 5 casts are gonna be weak as ****. =\

EDIT2: I figured I'd show everybody myself (and get a youtube account while I'm at it). Check it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAxI47j9QjU

Re: MapleStory

EB, in Scania, even Z1 maps are held until about 6:00AM EST. I've seriously been on that early in the morning and not been able to get a Zombie room.

Even after Ludi came out, they are all still there.

Re: MapleStory

I've been sick, all I've done is get some MP pots and killed a couple of things :P

@EB that might give me a reason to continue using a Black Umbrella. Also, I will probably be training on block golems.

The only problem is the person I asked from SW.net said it was jMS exclusive. However, they also said the Maple Lama Staff would never come to gMS, pMS, oMS, whatever you want to call it.
