Yeah, Beta was down too. They're probably going to add it there too. If they do what they should do, it should be tested in Beta first, then implemented in the real client.

We shall see.

So they finally finished...now we just have to wait for the major updates in the coming week(s). >______<

[Chromer]

Well, I got some hardcore ownage time this morning in the dungeons outside of Ellinia. No n00bs in sight.

[evilbutterfly]

That's because it's morning on a Thursday. Most of the people who play MS are in school right now. :P

[Squeek]

Which is why I primarily play on the mornings of weekdays.

I gianed 30% today in about 3 hours. I'm sitting at almost 45%.

Still 74. Here's what I have "done".

1 Shining Ray
1 Elemental Resistance
3 Dispel
1 Mystic Door
7 Holy Symbol

Holy Symbol is currently being maxed and will be done at 82. So, Holy Symbol -> Elemental Resistance -> 4 Door (Maxed for me) -> Shining Ray -> Dispel -> Summon Dragon -> Doom. That takes me to level 123. 3 over, but no biggie.

You're gonna max elemental resistance? Isn't there a glitch so that it completely negates damage sometimes? Or is it like, instead of reducing damage by the % it says, it negates damage that % of the time? I'm pretty sure I've heard something about it being a bad translation or there's a glitch or something...

And for me, I still don't know what I would/will do in the 3rd job. Probably put one point in resistance, then go straight for poison mist, especially if Ludi/Theme Park is out and has things that aren't weak to fire. At some point, maybe when poison mist is maxed, I'm gonna go redo a Shumi JQ and poison the whole train and laugh as everything dies. I bet poison mist will make me be able to level ridiculously fast on small maps with weak enemies...

But after that, I'll probably max magic composition. By the time mist and comp are maxed, that'll put me at level 90, so I'd need them maxed to be fighting Zakum. :P And then I'd probably go for elemental amp, since I'll have ridiculous amounts of MP, plus MP eater on the high level enemies will be refilling it faster than it's used anyway.

Speaking of MP Eater, Tosh and I were debating this, but he said that hitting more enemies (with mob attacks) does not increase the chances of MP Eater absorbing MP. He said it was because the tooltip said it was per cast, but we all know Wizet sucks at translations. As a person who heals a bunch of zombies at a time, you ought to know if hitting 6 makes you absorb 6 times as often, or if when you do absorb you get 6 times as much. So, who is right, me or Tosh?

[Squeek]

MP Eater - You absorb more often, but you actually absorb fewer MP. Funny, eh?

Resist - I don't rely on glitches like that. If it's really amazing and works almost all the time, I'll switch it with Shining Ray.

The glitch is that level 1 Elemental Resistance will occasionally take all magical damage to 0. They say it happens 90% of the time, but not at J/Zakum.

OMG Level 24. I'm so close to my second job. I put the last SP in Magic Claw and put two in Magic Guard. Is there a place I can train that doesn't involve PQ? Cause I mean, PQ gets good gain but when you wait for over an hour just to not get in one, I could have used that time to get a level up.

[Trustfull]

Id use pq's only if im in need for meso, otherwise waiting is a waste of time.

[Pumble]

PQ at times when nobody would be on and train the rest of the time (and make sure the leader knows what he is doing when you PQ. Seriously, so many leaders don't have the slightest clue about what to do. For a while, if a leader said "what's ac?" i would just leave the party). For level 24, you should probably go kill green and horny mushrooms in the Ellinia tree dungeons or if you want to, stick with Pig Beach.

[Tokzic]

Pig Beach is no good after you max Claw. Myself, I enjoy the bigger creatures that I can two-hit-kill, like by the Warrior 2nd Job Instructor by Perion with Dark Axe Stumps and Wild Boars, or (a better but annoyingly more popular place) the dungeon on the right exit of Sleepywood because it's crawling with Hornies.

[Chromer]

I can 1HKO Hornies, but a wild boar might take me 2-3 hits. I haven't tested this theory out. So no more PQ unless I just want a scroll or something?

[ckj846]

Yeah, the best place to work a mage at that level is in the dungeon near sleepywood. There are zombie mushrooms and horny mushrooms that you should be able to 1HKO. If not, use some wizard potions dropped by horny mushrooms. As for me, I'm using my level 20 archer for now in Scania. Any places to work my archer? I just need one more level to max Critical Shot and start maxing Double Shot.
O_o

[ImEric12]

Up to 60% past 40 on my mage.

Just hit level 14 on my theif. Started putting points into nimble body, I need to max the range thingy, then probably nimble body, then lucky 7.

[ToshX]

That should explain everything.
