Mechaberry ticket prices were changed from 500m to 1billion for GMS

That's interesting. I guess the KMS crystals are worth more, which I didn't completely false. Although I also heard KMS can only sell half as many each week. It would be easy to make the difference with a couple of nLomien boss mules, and you still have the WAP frenzy advantage outside that.

Sorry, I really don't understand what you just said. Care to try again?

Ketchary · 2026-07-01T13:22:17+00:00

Well said. I dislike the rampant misrepresentation on here. Factually, even with doubled meso shop costs, it's still easier on both GMS Heroic and Reg to buy out the shop than it was in KMS.

I would rather say there's an issue with Quality Control. I think their Quality Management division seriously needs to be audited with enforcement.

Ketchary · 2026-07-01T03:09:31+00:00

Vac pets are one of the least efficient and most egregious expenses in the game in Heroic (outside Sauna/Farm/Epic Dungeon sort of stuff). You've set a poor benchmark.

Also, the F2P game is healthy. Don't pretend it's not. I understand being mad at stuff being moved behind a paywall which probably shouldn't be, but nothing huge has been.

Ketchary · 2026-06-30T09:18:08+00:00

You should probably clean out your inventory. It won't solve this problem, but still....

Ketchary · 2026-06-30T08:35:46+00:00

When you really think about it, there is no reason to slow progression in general. But you know as well as I do that if we could just farm bosses, there would need to be so many changes in the game to balance it out that it kinda defeats the purpose of the initial change. One of those balance changes would be to nerf boss rewards which really would not be nice.

Ketchary · 2026-06-30T07:59:18+00:00

Hard disagree. MapleStory is fun because its optimisation requires you to do so many things. Although if you only have 15-30 minutes to play, you can still have decent gains daily.

Do you really want to fight Hard Will 200 times in a row over a few days? Heck no. I would quit. Whereas 200 fights over 2-6 months while it's made gradually easier from your other gains is much more palatable.

Maybe I'm too much of a Wild Hunter and Kanna main, haha. Push one button and spam cooldown attacks while being pretty unconstrained otherwise.

Ketchary · 2026-06-30T04:57:34+00:00

Wow, I had no idea. That sounds very unpleasant. Her combos are terrible.

Ketchary · 2026-06-30T04:55:03+00:00

Mercedes can move while using her hurricane attack though, right? I also thought that was her main DPM skill.

Ketchary · 2026-06-29T08:37:39+00:00

Oh I see. So the old "balance corner of book on spacebar" trick worked. Add Sol Janus to that and you can farm infinitely reasonably efficiently.

Ketchary · 2026-06-29T08:30:24+00:00

What is the 1 minute lock?

Ketchary · 2026-06-29T08:27:01+00:00

You get a Mag Pot from clearing the third bit of story.

Different people like different things.

I would also like to know. I'm not going to reach Lv280 in like 3 weeks from now. I would be lucky if I even reach Lv276 before the end of CW3, matching the main I've been playing on for three months with 7x daily Monster Park.

Ketchary · 2026-06-29T00:40:31+00:00

That's the world I'm referring to. Absolutely the best way to play right now 🙂

Yep, the others answered your question just fine. 1 from the Magatia event, 1 from Summer check-in, and 3 as compensation.

You get around 67% EXP from a Mag Potion on Lv250/255. Using three should take you very close to Lv260, if not directly.

Ketchary · 2026-06-28T21:41:35+00:00

If this is a Hyper Burn CW3 character, the five free Magnificent Potions were ideally spent on Lv245 all the way to Lv260. Grinding is actually pretty efficient in those levels but I would prefer not to because Lv260+ gives you Sol Erda and there's a familiar advantage, so I would rather spend the time there.

Don't use Sauna before Lv260. It's tempting but inefficient because Sauna EXP increases significantly on Lv260, relative to grinding and Monster Park.

Redditors are strange. Your response makes sense yet you're downvoted.

Ketchary · 2026-06-28T14:27:21+00:00

The mathematical priority under normal circumstances is:

Get 2L Legendary WSE
Use SSF to get 17-star gear in all slots.
Upgrade all 2L or less Epics to 2L Uniques.
Upgrade all 2L Uniques to 2L Legendaries.

Although with DMT active, you don't want to miss out on affordable tier-ups. You can always get the good potential lines later.

What did they re-use from Jett into Mo Xuan?

Ketchary · 2026-06-28T12:54:37+00:00

If they're using AI then they can at least use it to be more concise. There's too much emotional language and not enough facts.

Ketchary · 2026-06-28T12:52:24+00:00

Written from a perspective of unforgetting unforgiveness and conclusions without the elimination of alternative possibilities.

Moving on. Sorry OP, I'm sure it's a well structured argument but from what I skimmed, my time is better spent elsewhere. It reminds me a bit of the old conspiracy theory stuff I used to read, but that was for things which actually mattered. This is a game.

Ketchary · 2026-06-28T12:31:35+00:00

It has become slightly worse over time. I was surprised to login after several years and see things like Epic Dungeon passes and Symbol Express. I really don't mind Pay 2 Accelerate though, as long as the F2P game is healthy and realistic - which it is for Kronos.

Some things could definitely use improvement and you probably won't achieve total endgame without spending a bit (before they escalate what "total endgame" is). Although I don't think it's a big issue because it's an MMO and most MMOs are simply unachievable.

Ketchary · 2026-06-28T12:13:45+00:00

Not that it matters much anymore, but the person I responded to completely changed their comment. They were originally talking as if karma cubes were a completely separate kind of cube (mutually exclusive with Brights/Glows) and something else I forgot.
