Level 16 now.

Stats: 5/5/70/19

Equipment: Black Star Hat, Sapphire Wand

Skills: 12 in MP Recovery, 10 in MP Increase, 1 in MP Bolt, and 2 in Magic Claw.

Okay this is seriously screwy. I can't 1HKO Slimes anymore. It now takes me 2 time to kill them! WTF! I can't even 1HKO red Snails anymore. Did something happen or is it just me? Also, I found killing Orange Mush benefit me more seeing as how 197 EXP counts as only 1% now. =/

[Pumble]

I'd suggest getting a bit more Magic Claw before maxing out MP recov, unless you're super poor.

[Chromer]

Magic Claw doesn't do shit, that's why I haven't added anything to it.

[ImEric12]

Yeah, but once you add stuff to it, it becomes really powerful.

[Chromer]

So you're saying, on my next level, forget MP Recovery since I recover like 16 MP every 10 seconds, and start putting it in MP Claw?

[Squeek]

Claw is terribly weak until it gets to level 10 or so. Then you can own Pigs and Ribbon Pigs like there's no tomorrow.

And when maxed, you can take down Horned and Green Mushrooms in one hit, though I'd recommend hunting at Stirges as their potion drop rate is incredible and they're worth a close number to the average of Horned / Green EXP. (35 + 26 / 2 = 30.5. Stirges are 32)

WALL OF EQUALS SIGNS FOR IMPORTANT STUFF

Here you go punks.

After a few hours of training (10 -.-), I got to level 70.



Upon reaching this level, I went back to El Nath to speak to the Guild member associated with the Magician Guild.



She sends me out to get the Necklace of Strength from Hines in Ellinia. Off I go to talk to Hines.



So, now I have to go out to the Door of Dimension in order to defeat Hines's other self. The Door of Dimension I had to go in was in the Forest of Evil II, where the Maladies live.

Once you're in, you do this:

Then, if you noticed in the video, I get the Black Charm that Hines wanted as proof that I defeated his other self. So I bring that back to Hines and he trades it for the Necklace of Strength. Back to El Nath I go to talk to Robeira again.



This part of the advancement is the part that is not in the game yet. The Holy Stone is past the level 50 door two rooms in. Talking to it at level 69 and talking to it at 70 after defeating your other self has the same effect: "Come back some other time". Once they allow the stone to work, we can use it to take a test of our knowledge. It takes a Dark Crystal to start the stone working. 5 questions and a short trip to El Nath later, you're in the third job.

Awesome! I'm downloading the video right now...
Can't wait...

[Omeganitros]

I could hug you, Squeek. I'm so proud of you. *Sniff*

[Chromer]

Good job, I doubt I'll ever get that far. I like how you had the music and you even typed, "Crap," to give it a cinematic flair. But now that we actually are on the subject of Job Advancements, I'm nearing Level 20 meaning its close to job choosing time. What do I need to do, what do I need to get, and what job has the best strengths and the less weaknesses?

[slipstrike0159]

ALMOST.....THERE.....JUST TWO MORE POSTS UNTIL U REACH 1000! ok. now theres only one left

[slipstrike0159]

AHA! and I strike have posted the 1000th message on this subject, MUAHAHAHA. I am like really out of it right now as u can tell, never even played maple story =P.

[Chromer]

And for that, you will forever be known as a N00b. Thanks for screwing up our thread just so you can get the 1000th post, jackass.

Don't need to do anything.

Don't need to get anything.

You only need to decide.

Support: Cleric.

Damage: Ice/Fire

Easy leveling in Ossy: Fire

Freeze: Ice.

Further analysis can be found in this thread somewhere. Look for posts from me in this thread and you'll find it.

I would suggest fire. Being a cleric is no fun because you can't kill hardly anything. Being ice is alright cuz you can freeze stuff, but I find that it's better to just knock it back with higher damage from fire. And lightning is alright because you get multi-attack, which means easy leveling earlier on, but then it's pretty much useless and you suck ass compared to fire mages.

I may be a bit biased, though.... d=

[Chromer]

Okay, Fire it is then.
