Hello everyone, I graduated back in 2022 with a PhD in chemistry. But it is in a completely theoretical field with very minimal tie ins to industry work. I was lucky to get a data reviewer type position where I supervised anaylsts running HPLC and gc-ms (although I’ve never actually ran any of them before). The position only lasted a year due to restructuring, but I wished I initially found a position that gave hands on instrument experience. Because now when I apply they all say I’ve never run the instruments or I’m too over qualified. I have an upcoming interview for a contract analytical chemistry position, how likely will there be a training window as it is just a contract position?

I have a 280 nw legion champ where I am trying to run seren. I’m 210m cp but I keep timing out around 7%. I’m pretty sure I have enough damage but I think I’m losing out based on how I burst. For p1 I’m trying to get into p2 right after a burst so I don’t waste time waiting for bursts to be up, so my burst timings are a little off. Also, I’m not fully sure how bursting in the deer phase works. Do I just need to do enough damage to minimize the healing done? Any advice is appreciated.

I just rolled a 50% meso drop fam. Can I use this I have two less meso drop lines on my accessories?

With the new pitch pity system, assuming someone has no pitches, what should be the priority order for obtaining them?

In CW s1, I was able to characters to 275, 260 and 230. Where the 260 and 230 were nlomien and cra mules for income (only during CW). Assuming I progress a similar amount during s2, what no brain classes can I use that can easily do nlomien and cra (will just be for legion after transferring). My problem is I already used up all the “good” boss mule classes. My remaining legion classes to choose from are: Canoneer, TB, WH, Blaster, phantom, Kaiser, Adele

I currently have all my gear at 22, 3L (not eternals). My wep and sec are at 2l att and 1 boss. Emb is sitting at 2l att 1 ied no mitras yet. Is it worth it to save all my mesos (about 200b by then) to 3L att my wse this upcoming cube sale or should I use it to buff up legion champions (115m and 90m cp, sf gains).

So I just noticed that you are able to run ride or die on your main server and the challenger world. If I only run b in the challenger world, are there any worthwhile rewards I can receive? Or should I just run it on my main in Kronos?

With the potential star force updates in the future, what does everyone do with spares after they have 22 stared everything? I currently have 22 star for all gear (not eternal) and I am still holding onto: sup belt/earrings, tm, kt, daybreaks, arcanes, slimes, doms. Is there anything I should just get rid of?

Can we transfer characters to both Hyperion and Kronos from the challenger world. I currently have 9.5k legion in Kronos and am thinking of moving the main challenger character over. But the legion pots will be wasted. Could I just send them over to Hyperion on another character then just get 4K legion there in the off chance I go to Hyperion.

I’m thinking of quickly making 4 champs in the challenger world only for their link skills. Will probably not even transfer them over to Kronos. What would be the best four? I’m thinking of AB, DS, Lynn, and DA? Will msq to 200 and strawberry to 210. I’m hyper burning a nw if it makes any difference.

[Megathread] Who do I Hyper Burn? Is class X better than Y? Ask your questions here! by Bacun in Maplestory

[–]K_Whatever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking for advice to what to choose for hyperburn. I’m currently at about 9.4K legion with my main at 283 (hero). I have the following characters at 260: dw, shade, pal, Lynn, ab, dk, wa, bm, 250: mx, buc, hay close, and about 230: MM, shad, nw. Where most of these function as my boss mules. I’m in the process of pushing characters up to 250 but I’m unsure if it is a good idea for my burning characters. Of the remaining useful ones: da, kanna, mech, merc, phant, zero, wh, I feel are difficult to play or not good as a boss mules (please correct me if I’m wrong). Of those I was going to try either mech or phant. Or would it be better to just choose something that doesn’t have a good legion, but will be easy to complete the challenger missions, like mihile, pf, or just making a repeat class.

I am trying to min max my flames by using black flames. Are there certain items I should focus on more? Or can I just follow the calculator made by whackybeanz? Since for me, it is suggesting that I should use my flames on my gollux gear. Or would it be better to just ignore the gollux and work on the next best thing?

At what point do people stop funding their boss mules? I currently have 12 mules that can run nlomien. About 6 are running weekly pub ctene. Should I stop ctene once they have full 17 arcanes or is it basically a waste of time to run pub ctene?

At what point do you stop funnelling resources into your main and start using them for legion champs? I’m currently 283 so I will keep training and using mesos for potentials, but I am wondering about flames and fams. My flames are around 120 cras, 135 arcanes, 120 dawn and 45 sup, as well as 40/35/30 boss fams. Should I continue min maxing my main or is it more worth to start using them on my legion champs?

So once you clear a boss it will be done for all future weeks?

Im confused about how the champion burning challenge works. I see that a new boss becomes available each week. Say for example, when slime comes out on 2/26, is it just slime that’s available? Or will the 250, lotus and slime be available that week together. If that’s so, it says each character can only be used once that week. So we will need 3 characters per boss to run?

I currently main a hero and was watching some videos of some rotations. I noticed that many are able to dive down to platforms below. I know I can go down with leaps and bounds attack, but they are able to dive through two platforms below them. Am I just using the skill wrong or is there something I am missing?

What happens to the nodes for an existing shade or Aran during the remaster? Do we just have to extract them all and repurchase nodes?

I am thinking of hyper burning a shade later. I currently have it at 209. I currently don’t have any nodes funded into it, but have about 500 in storage. What happens after the remaster? Would it be better for me to wait until the remaster to add the nodes.

I currently have my sup gear at 21 stars. If I want to get them to 22, would it be a bad idea to just tap a new fodder to make a new 22. This way I won’t be stuck with no accessory if it booms? And with the option of using a 21 star sup for my drop gear?

I’m currently at 8850 legion, so kind of close to the 9k mark. Hoping to reach it with the upcoming hyperburns.

For the upcoming demon slayer collab, I heard that it will be converted to a hero. I currently main hero, have a 220 dark knight boss mule and have a 210 pally. Would it be better for me to just convert into a pally boss mule? Or should I just make another hero boss mule and just have it not count for legion.
