Re: MapleStory

IAAW, the #-# thing indicates how high or a low the stats on a piece of equipment may vary. Say an item's stats are (3-13), average would be 8 beccause it's in the middle. It gives you the average for all equipment on HS, it says it right beside the brackets as you've seen.

I understand now, and I think I know about what I gotta remember:

- Warriors will favor equips with STR bonuses.
- Mages will favor equips with INT and MP bonuses.
- Bowmen will favor equips with DEX bonuses.
- Thieves (like me) will favor equips with LUK bonuses.

EDIT: lol someone posted before me >_>

Re: MapleStory

Mostly right, IAAW, except that mages don't care much about MP boosts. I have almost 5k MP, but I only have like 950 HP. If my robe added a bit of HP instead of MP I'd be very happy, but it doesn't. >=(

I don't know about the rest of mages, but I have way too much MP as it is. I couldn't care less about MP.

Also, Afro/Tank, how long did it take to find a Jr. Rog to kill? The only time I've seen him was when I was in my late 20s/early 30s or something and died in 1 hit (with MG on and everything).

Well every single channel was empty. Eventually Joey sat idle in one, and we all met there and waited. Shortly after I arrived on the channel (right after checking the last unchecked channel), we were all there. We were talking strategies and he spawned like right on top of us. We didn't wait long, but we searched to no avail for a long time. It's all luck, really.

EDIT: as per request in game:
Holy Arrow with Dark Ritual


Holy Arrow with Yellow Umbrella


For those who don't notice, the umbrella disappears during the arrow casting.

Re: MapleStory

Oh, that beginner skillbook I mentioned earlier: http://www.sleepywood.net/forum/showthread.php?t=913322

For those without SW accounts, here's a picture:

The maxout level is three for each of them...

First one appears to be an HP recovery skill.
Recover
Recover HP over a period of 30 seconds - usable only once every ten minutes
Level 1 - Use 10 MP to heal 24 HP.
Level 2 - Use 20 MP to heal 48 HP.
Level 3 - Use 30 MP to heal 72 HP.

Next one... chucks a snail shell?
Three Snails
Throw a snail shell to attack an enemy from far away.
Level 1 - Use 10 MP to throw a snail shell for 10 damage
Level 2 - Use 15 MP to throw a blue snail shell for 25 damage
Level 3 - Use 20 MP to throw a red snail shell for 40 damage

Final one seems like Haste.
Agility Tickle?
Suddenly move quickly. Usable once every fifteen minutes.
Level 1 - Use 10 MP to gain 10 speed for 4 seconds.
Level 2 - Use 15 MP to gain 15 speed for 8 seconds.
Level 3 - Use 30 MP to gain 20 speed for 12 seconds.

I think I mixed up some stuff in that last one.

Re: MapleStory

2x drop rates is a useless fcking event. I tons of useless only twice as fast as I normally would for 50% on my mage at Jr.Celions.

Found an EXTREMELY under average Red Guiltian and 4 power crystal ore.

What is that anyway? 2x drops give me a negative profit of 120k?

10k for each ore = 40k.
guiltian = 40k for npc or so

200k for potions after a long run..

omg 120k decrease YAY!!!!

Re: MapleStory

10k for each ore = 40k.

Power ores are worthless. I've gotten around 200+ of them in my time fighting Zombie Coolies/Soul Teddies.

@the beginner skill book: That is ownage. I hope we get something like that. The heal one is useless for me, but throwing shells would be fun as hell, and I'd love a miniature version of haste (too bad it seems to be better than the 3rd job archer skill for speed haha).

Also, is it clear whether you actually have to have a snail shell in your inventory to throw one?

Re: MapleStory

Wizet practically spits on BW white knights, first they took away Charge damage which in turn turned white knight into the crappiest 3rd job ever, then they decide level 70 weapons are enough. It's seriously sad to see how madly overpowered and over glamorized Dragon Knights are to white knights.

Took away charge damage?

For bowman, that is mostly correct. Except, some of the smarter bowman who hate spending tons of money on equips buy the str equips because it is the exact same thing as the dex equips really; whatever you get as a boost from the str you can pump directly into dex. Either way, both dex and str equips are the same... just str cost less.

EDIT: For treasure trooper, a quick way to get some moeny is to do the poetry contest. Just type in random nonsense and you get $1.50. It took a few days for mine to register.. Also, the photo contest is rather easy... Just get a pic of an animal on google or something and you get $1.50. Almost to $20 =/

Re: MapleStory

Took away charge damage?

Explanation pl0x!!11

It means damage from activating the charges I think. Yeah it kinda sucks. One thing that makes me regret becoming a Page is that there is no skill like explosion or dragon roar that has a huge AoE both in front and back of you.

And yeah that's another reason why BWs suck, they only go to level 70 currently. And they have an extremely high range.

EDIT: Guys I'm thinking of quitting MS again. There's nothing to look forward to for me for 3rd job. Kinda going off what Cam said. Sure archers may not be as exciting as some other classes, but think about White Knights. I will be using the SAME EXACT SKILLS that I used for 70 levels. There is absolutely NOTHING new or exciting for me. There's just no motivation =/

Re: MapleStory

Why do you think I'm not playing anymore? Sure I have school work (that I'm supposed to be doing now =D) but the main factor behind it is that my ranger is just plain boring. When I start playing again (over the summer hopefully) I expect my ranger to be at least a little more fun then it was grinding on zombies for hours on end. Why don't you just take a break from maple and do something else like I'm doing now. It is great not having maple as a main part of your life because I can actually do other things now =)

Re: MapleStory

Yeah I should. So addicted to this game =/

At least archers get arrow rain, strafe, and puppet. New, cool attacks. WKs get, like, nothing at all =(

[ckj846]

Re: MapleStory

That is if you get to a high enough level =/
O_o
EDIT: WTF http://forum.treasuretrooper.com/ind...howtopic=15021
I'm not sure if I wasted everyone's time or not. Does this mean that this next month they will not send it to paypal? sigh...
