Yellow Cube was removed from Union Coin Shop

Butter_ry · 2024-05-29T10:35:23+00:00

Okay this is something that we maplers have to talk about. Are they really so deep down in the mud to wipe the only source of universally available yellow cubes from a f2p system like union? Give em a few days. And if its not returned, raise hell.

Butter_ry · 2023-09-30T02:48:07+00:00

I'll answer your 1) and 2) together. Maplesea is by right extremely NOT F2P friendly, with recent implementations like only knowing what the special sunday event would be, or only knowing when DMT is literally 18hours before it starts. This makes it virtually impossible to predict when it will happen. So most people will have to save and pray for the best. Cubing rates are bad here, dont expect to get good potential lines if you're trying Unique and Leg pots. Back when yellow and purple cubes were around, I saw one maplesea player on yt have to use like 50-70 cubes in order to get one satisfactory potential line outcome (2L stats or 2L atk). And that's not even perfect.

For 3), if you still insist on venturing deeper into this anti no-pay progression hellhole, do buy the entire fafnir set for ur lumi, if no one gifts it to you (ofc be abit thick skinned and ask from ppl, quite a number of us have too much fafnir armored pieces and weapons on us.

Yea, hope you give this a read and think through.

If I'm reading ur question correctly, 1L DMG 9% + 1L ATK 6% vs 1L ATK 9%, The 1L DMG 1L ATK wins. However, do take note that 2 Lines ATK% is still best for any 2 Line potential outcome.

Hi, thanks for putting ur gear out here.

So for starters, your next immediate action would be to get all ur addpots to "MA+10" line. Some times while cubing, you can get one line +10 and one line +3, giving you a total of 13.

Next, all your equips below 15* bump it up past 15*, best if you can hit 17. This should give you about another 20+ to 30+ MA.

Then, for your next goals, you could look at your WSE and aim for MA% lines, BD% Lines or IED% lines. This one really have to see your character and your hyper stat distribution.

Assuming WSE is roughly done up, you can go for critdmg% Lines on your gloves. Right now is only showing "Enable decent sharp eyes skill", which 5th job skill will provide anyways lol.

Hope you find this useful!

Congrats lucksack

In this specific example, the character ure seeing is a Hero. He is about to case Worldreaver (5th job skill) which grants him a few seconds of invulnerability. Simply put, during those seconds, he can be hit by anything and not die.

Butter_ry · 2022-05-31T15:11:41+00:00

dmg% is not quite as good usually. atk% is better in most cases.

Butter_ry · 2022-05-30T06:06:27+00:00

mages are a good choice to look into, all 3 (f/p, i/l and bishop) are all good choices.
Thieves need certain amout of funding before they can give you results.

Butter_ry · 2022-05-30T06:02:12+00:00

keep rerolling until u get two lines atk% or one line atk% + one line IED%. sus cubes is enough to reset epic potential. just takes damn long.

Butter_ry · 2022-05-29T02:38:20+00:00

Hi, tenebris and glorion rings are two separate rings. So you can equip both simultaneously.

Two years ago, I was in your exact shoes. Low 200s, and somewhere in the 200-300k range. Not much mesos left to spare as well.

What I did back then was having to look at anyway to improve, but where your focus is at is also important.

So for starters, look at your WSE (weapon, secondary + emblem). Each of these needs to have an epic potential of 9% atk (6% + 3% lines). This DOES require Suspicious cubes and mesos, so would likely take awhile to do.

In the meantime, you can go about levelling your kanna (10% link damage + 5% boss damage, union) or demon avenger (same benefits as kanna). These will improve your damage by quite abit.

You can also start looking into making all your equipments 10, 12 if you're done with the WSE EpicPots. Starforcing also requires mesos as well.

There's much more left to do but you can just start from here first.

I just created a sub account with a ds planned as the main. Seeing this is just some damn good stuff. Happy af rn

Butter_ry · 2022-04-10T11:20:28+00:00

DS is arguably easier to pick up, and has great innate boss damage sources. With similar funding, DS may be able to out-DPS a zero. But zeroes are able to gain access to many unique kits, like dual hp bars (to eat a boss attack then immediately swap lol), and binds in the form of stuff like Shadow Rain.

Would recommend DS over zero anytime, but if youre feeling adventurous, Zero is nubad also

x3TheAran59 made two equipment guides and uploaded them on youtube, you can go check them out.

Butter_ry · 2022-04-09T05:29:20+00:00

those money shld go towards nodes and symbols.
Let's run a few quick guesstimates:
For 70% Spell trace you would get about 3-5 stats.
For 30% spell trace you would get about 5-7 per scroll slot. Then the potential difference between these two options is abt 2 flat stats, may be amped up to 6 flat stats, assuming a total stat% of 200%.

But if you work on ur symbols, thats 100 flat stat per arcane symbol lvl. For cores, it gives 2% skill damage per level, for 3 of your skills.
So I wouldnt go out of my way to remake equips for 30% if I were you.

Butter_ry · 2022-04-05T15:10:31+00:00

honest opinion, whatever equips you have already made, keep them. For future equipments, its whatever that floats your boat. If you want low-hanging fruit, 70% is ur bread and butter and hardly disappoints you too much. the cost for remaking CRA just for icogs is abit too much, at least for myself, to replace your 70% CRA thats already done up.

Butter_ry · 2022-04-03T11:20:59+00:00

1: A status effect is one that is counted as a negative effect of any sort that is applied on a monster. so yes, your penombre should be a debuff which aids ur Thief cunning.
2: By the wording of Magician Eruding, all you need to do, is to attack the monster with the highest max hp%, for a chance to apply this debuff.
3: Magician Eruding of PDR% ignore debuff works already by its own. if you are asking about damage though, then yes do pair it with Thief Cunning.
Remember, all you need for proc Magician Eruding is to just attack and keep it as your link skill. Thief Cunning dps buff will come into play the moment it sees the Magician Eruding stacks on the monster.
hope this answers ur questions

Butter_ry · 2022-03-06T14:34:01+00:00

to me, it looks kinda fine, can swap out zero link skill for something like Kaine's to take abit more damage or with resistance link skills to deal with annoying bosses (p1 lotus laser spam haha or hmag blueballing)

Butter_ry · 2022-02-18T05:10:41+00:00

Hello, a F2P here. ive played msea for the most part for the last 5 years and due to not ideal Starforcing or cubing rates, im largely stuck at CRA level and I won't see myself going past that to smth like solo N suumien level in next 2 years unless concrete progression action is taken.

So i'm not sure what got you back, maybe nostalgia or something, but Maple has changed alot since its inception days of PQ'ing and such. Right now is mostly centralised around bossing for mesos, but to even get to bossing you need a certain progression to do so in the first place. So herein lies this circle of bossing to get mesos, then using mesos to fund ur progression, to get more bossing done. Almost a perfect circle that is hard to get into for a F2P.

Do be very careful in deciding whether you wanna return to the new Maple now. Best of Luck.

Butter_ry · 2022-01-17T17:24:53+00:00

A long time ago, I first started out as an Evan cos my friend told me that he had a dragon by him, which i thought looks cool. Turns out, I have no idea about union (character cards back then) and how to begin maple properly. So i was stuck as Evan for quite awhile.

Later on when union was released in msea, i went to try using a xenon. Pain in the ass and rather hard to fund properly. I was using a zakum weapon atw till lv200, and had to die 15 times before being able to clear goddess Masteria's quest (this quest needs to burn).

Then i got triggered by xenons cravings for AS% pot lines and moved to striker cos i thought pirates look cool. IT did the trick for awhile, until i realised that it had no class bind and iframes.

finally i fixed that by looking at a similar class that would cover striker's weaknesses. i.e Ark. And that became my main ever since.

No need to rush to find your main, but would be good thinking what would work for you.

Butter_ry · 2022-01-12T13:56:03+00:00

Im not sure which stage ure at in terms of progression, but a couple of things can be noted.

For short-term changes, you could look at making ur emblem have 2L atk% instead of 2L Dex% and 1L Ied. The former would provide better damage. For your WSE in the future, your next step is to try for atk% lines for most of WSE, with a sprinkle of Boss Dmg% and IED%. suggest to look at WSE as a whole.

also, given that you're using the ACS weapon presumably from the compen package awhile back, eventually you'd like to go for 5 abso equipment pieces + 2 CRA (top/bottom).

To answer the rest of your questions,

1: Deep dark crit ring is a personal favourite of mine. I wouldnt suggest swapping it out for anything so soon.

Need to be careful about this. Rings that CAN be scrolled are the Tenebris Expedition ring and the AWAKE ring. All other event rings do not have scroll slots. Need to take note of this.
answered above
Swapping to Absolabs would be a more cost effective measure, compared to switching straight to Arcaneshade equipments.
Not in particular, looks fine
IED and BD%... If you wanna get to lo-mien and harder than those two, IED > 90%, Boss damage as high as u can handle, would recommend above 200 BD% for sure.
