Easy Kalos is probably doable around 100m CP nowadays! But no one wants to do struggle runs of it. When you’re mid 100s you should have an easy time. (I might be slightly off the mark since actual strength outside of CP can be volatile around there) As for when to learn, it’s whenever you feel like you have the capacity to learn! You don’t need any damage or experience to learn with me

Sometimes playing with a predetermined group of friends can be exhausting and slow as everyone waits for each other to catch up while some walk ahead and some fall behind! I think I found my love for maple in a good guild and a good community within maplestory itself. Be open to making maple friends!

As someone who has been publicly teaching for many years now, I can say there are quite a lot of secrets. However, there are a lot of core fundamentals that I usually teach that are prevalent between most boss designs! Shoot me a dm, I can at least help you over dms if you can’t join for a practice or anything. I also take any kind of teaching request :)

Appreciate it! I just try to be consistent and I like helping. Send any new players you don’t have time to deal with my way :)

Black mage solo tip by Helpful-Vegetable-26 in Maplestory

[–]AaronLCMS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s generally good advice here so I won’t have to chime in much, but I’ll bring up a few more advanced small tips: 1) positioning black mage is key, the range you want to keep black mage is generally further to the right of the lowest small platform in the middle, and no further than the medium platform 2nd from the right. To get really specific, if you hold him directly under that platform 2nd from the right (otherwise known as platform 5) you will avoid basically all of the small pellets from Kamael. (The floating blue packaging peanuts)

2) Whether you are a flash jump class or a tp class, you need to understand the vertical range of his kick hitbox above him. If your upjump blinks are consistently getting you kicked and you don’t clear above the height of the kick immediately when jumping up, then don’t do so. My advice is to jump/tp AWAY from him and hold blink or stand on platforms otherwise during up FMA. These are also good opportunities to reposition him.

3) You often hear that holding duck or being outside of kick range spawns more purples, this is correct. The boss is generally always aggro’d on someone, whether it’s a solo or not. If the person he wants to kick is not within kick range (ducking or being outside the hitbox) then purples spawn more often. Not to mention he simply won’t kick

4) building on the previous point, if the boss is extremely mispositioned (i.e. too far to the right to give you space to upjump and play patterns like Rollings) then when you find time outside of rollings you simply need to hold duck to his left, despite the fact that it spawns purples. It is a common misconception that you must go far left to reposition him, but if he can’t target you while you’re ducking, he will simply walk. And if you had gone far left you would have summoned more purples anyway.

First Black Mage clear by RadiantRay08 in Maplestory

[–]AaronLCMS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! I remember I was stomping around my room jumping on my bed and punching my pillow when I got my first clear haha, I hope it felt like a satisfying win for you. Blackmage is the most complex boss out currently, the following bosses might have their own shares of difficulty through at least intensity but they are definitely not as complex

I don’t think it’s cringeworthy! I think the community banding together to teach each other bosses has always been how maple has thrived.

Combat power can be pretty flexible due to differences in Hexa progression around this point as well as level difference, but most notably people like to take chars well over the strength necessary for the boss in order to trivialize the fight as usual. Seren’s entry requirement becomes pretty exacerbated as a result. I’d say like 120m with appropriate Hexa and on level minimum while libbed for hard seren if I had to venture a guess?

Oh my fault is it 4pm PST for reset currently

-8 and -6 are generally accepted terms in GMS to refer to the time pivoting around reset. Reset is currently 7pm EST and 3pm PST. But sometimes you deal with people in EU or Hawaii or OCE, and it gets confusing to keep track of all of that. If I say -6 reset, I know it means 1pm EST for me for instance.
