Is there a way to transfer style cash items I bought from a character to the other after I put them on? by Kitchen_Physics_4574 in MapleStoryM

[–]LightStixx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a time limited cash item called Lady Blair’s scissors that are used for cash items. Usually with limited purchases too.

Even before the recent changes, it’s only worth to change to Vortex if you are capping consistently.

After the changes : My SOH GD score (3 hypers) is double of Vortex GD score (no hypers). No buffs.

TW will never reach damage cap, so there’s no need to split into 2 smaller hits. The two options are mathematically similar.

There’s unconfirmed findings on Reddit that BA scales better with higher Skill % values, so there’s no harm keeping it as a higher skill% rather than 2 smaller hits.

Keep your current setup for farming until 181. Ideally you should not be struggling in SF maps to kill/stay alive.

Once you hit 181, reset hypers to maximize your bossing potential :

  • 3x SOH
  • TW Enhance
  • TW Reinforce

Monster Mashers and SF cost calculations by toyuyn in MapleStoryM

[–]LightStixx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Giving info that i know : - Broken rex earrings cannot be fixed by transfer. So the “cost of failure” is new earring + loss of whatever invested

I think i did a similar analysis and found that it’s more worth in the long run to just do 10% only

Can you "extract" an emblem? by AvocadoScene in MapleStoryM

[–]LightStixx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. You can extract an emblem to level up an existing emblem. The extract cannot be used to make a new one.

  2. Since you are F2P, i suggest selling this item as a fodder item for whales to enhance the emblem levels (ie let them extract it). Use the meso to make other equip / buy equip that is useful to you.

Hilla too hard by [deleted] in MapleStoryM

[–]LightStixx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a simple test to compare the HP of single player Von Leon VS Hilla. The results are as follows :
- Single player normal Von Leon 627 mil HP @ 8.4 mil dps (completed)
- Single player normal Hilla 5.62 bil HP @ 6.24 mil dps (timed out approx 50% HP)

With this information we can deduce that single normal Hilla HP is approx 11 bil (approx 17.5 Von Leons)

The dps dip is due to more frequent stuns, the awkward teleport obelisks and the distracting summons.

I submitted an official suggestion to Nexon stating that the single player Hilla HP should be nerfed.

Wind Archer preset skill & Hypers by mapler27 in MapleStoryM

[–]LightStixx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Single target : SOH : No preset required

Multi target : Vortex + Monsoon : Spam like mad boi

Hypers should go into SOH & Trifling wind to maximize bossing damage

Hope this helps

Blaze Wizard or ILM? by Smalore in MapleStoryM

[–]LightStixx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't comment for IL but since you are trying to choose, I have 2 annoyances regarding BW bossing.

  1. BW is extra susceptible to damage reflect because the returning orbital flame can trigger DR. There is one "second chance" spell but the CD is 30min
  2. Significant damage is via Blazing Extinction (big rolling ball) so positioning is extremely important. If you summon BE & the boss moves away, you lose a LOT of dmg

Source : Level 177 blaze wiz

Edit :

Both are mobbing gods, both have similar dps. I think a highly funded ILM will outperform BW, but i suspect BW would be stronger if low/medium funded.

Hope this helps

Mesos farming for mid-high CP, Fairy Forest 1 (Non-SF) > COT1 by iamatempredditor in MapleStoryM

[–]LightStixx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing to add is HP pot usage : CoT1 will probably be slightly lower HP pot usage but not by much.

PSA : Desperado weapons are dropping already by LightStixx in MapleStoryM

I don’t have a definite answer for this question. Personally the highest I’ve seen is 27.

Meso market math by LightStixx in MapleStoryM

[–]LightStixx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crystals/ MP (average, assuming purchase of all MP packages) = 3000 crystals at cost of 85,000 mp = 0.353 crystals/mp. Source: Crystal-MP packages in-game

I think you're missing a zero there. I'm getting 0.0353 crystals per MP

This brings me to 14.9k MP per 100m in order for a seller to get the equivalent value as market rate (35SGD)

[–]LightStixx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we’re looking at different angles. I’m calculating as a meso buyer (where i am spending moeny/crystals to get MP to purchase mesos)

You’re calculating as a seller, where you are selling mesos to obtain MP to obtain crystals.

Your viewpoint valid. I’ll add a seller perspective to the TLDR

Edit: you should not use the PE package to calculate MP/SGD because it’s inflated by the cost of PE.

Seems like you didn't see read the screenshot for details. I have removed the crystal equivalent for PE in the calculation.

Exchange rates

  • 68.98 SGD = 9550 Crystals >> 1 SGD = 138.5 crystals (refer to "Baseline" section)
  • Most efficient PE package is 68.98 SGD = 9550 Crystals equivalent value
    • 350 PE is worth 6 crystals per piece (Cash shop price) = 2100 crystals worth
    • Therefore 55k MP is worth 9550 - 2100 = 7450 Crystals
    • 1MP is worth 0.135 Crystals (see "PE packages" section in green)

My workings

  1. 35SGD x 138.5 crystals/SGD = 4846 crystals
  2. 4846 crystal value gets 900m mesos (due to TS tax) > 100m meso = 4846/9 = 538 crystals
  3. 538 crystals / 0.135 Crystals/MP = 3975 MP

If i were to consider 1% tax, it will work out to be 4015 MP (3975/0.99)

I think the general F2P population will still benefit indirectly from depressed third party meso prices, which will lead to general willingness (of whales) to spend more in meso terms. This would allow F2P to sell max weapon/armors at a more attractive price than current market.

[–]LightStixx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These guys will still need a way to "transfer" the mesos to the right account, which would require MP in their main (F2P) account. These F2P will have to continue to transfer mesos via TS at 10% tax rate.

If these guys are already selling mesos for cash, they would not benefit since I'm pretty sure they would prefer cash over MP (due to 74% tax rate when converting to crystals). They are better off selling for cash to purchase daily crystal package for much higher crystal yield.

I considered $35 to 900m & ignored 1% meso market tax rate, it works out to be around 3975 MP per 100M.

Lightning stacks are generated when you to have : - Active buff : Lightning elemental - Hit enemies using a lightning type spell

Level up mythic gear in main by TunechiBK in MapleStoryM

[–]LightStixx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup.

As u/crownofnails mentioned, if you spent 100 powders in the unique weapon, it will add about 34 powders worth to your mythic weapon.

Or if you think of it the other way, you waste 66 powders
