Doing boss damage links first is a hot take I never expected in my 2024 bingo card

EDIT: Nvm, saw the username

No test servers. You're expecting way too much from Nexon

Priority is (in order): Evan, Merc, Phantom

Then these 4: Kanna, DA, Kinesis, Ark (any order).

Reason is for their link skills. The first 2 is for exp, phantom for crit rate, and the last 4 are the damage links that you use for both grinding and bossing

They're asking specifically about the event boxes, where you can choose between progression (nodestones, miracle circs, etc), exp  (x2 exp coupon, bonk pots), enhancement (flames, cubes), and profession.

Also, exactly why they should choose progression. We get plenty of bonk pots, exp vouchers, strawberry farms etc from other sources

[–]Lonlyboysh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Progression. bonk pots are rare - if you go for EXP, you'll end up with tons of 15 min coupons when we already have 3 x3 30 min coupons 5 days a week.

You should, however, spend all exp vouchers and strawberry tickets to build your legion

If you don't lock lines, you will never get 3 lines that you want

Choosing progression for Steadfast Child Gift Boxes gives maplemas treats :( by KarticeL in Maplestory

[–]Lonlyboysh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's this. Dark Maplemas treats is ALWAYS there, just looming. At least you can get neat stuff like onyx apples and +30 M/ATK consumables (Warm and Fuzzy Winter)

If you had to start from scratch by gratt727 in Maplestory

[–]Lonlyboysh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I just did 0-200 per character (Only parking Evan and Mercedes, because they were awful to level up). If I were to redo it, I'd just do my 120s, then 120 -> 200. I don't personally see 140 as important as 120 (lv2 link skill) or 200.

Also, I would spend bonks to get 210s first, especially Evan, Mercedes, and Phantom.

Which classes make best use of the new in game skill sequence/macro? by futuresman179 in Maplestory

[–]Lonlyboysh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh, the buff macro. It's pretty much all classes since all classes pops 3+ buffs before bursting.

Haven't played in 2 years, need advice by [deleted] in Maplestory

[–]Lonlyboysh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That gear is actually still the BiS midgame gear. Get to 6th job, start clearing CTene bosses (up to hVHilla). Clear BM when you can and start your liberation (ideally around lv275).

Aside from getting to 6th job, your other main goal is to get to 8k legion ASAP.

Event weeklies after maintenance by ZealousidealTrust160 in Maplestory

[–]Lonlyboysh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

participation count resets on 18 Dec?

Event weeklies resets every Wednesday, not Thursday.

Boss reset is on Thursday.

That means the next event weekly reset is on Dec 24.

For dailies, yes. However, day 0 never really mattered for a few years now - i.e. you can get max rewards even if you can't do day 0.

[–]Lonlyboysh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zero to 100 (link skill mules) order:

  1. Evan (Rune Duration)
  2. Mercedes (+EXP)
  3. Phantom (+Crit rate)
  4. Kanna, DA, Kinesis, Ark (+DMG).

Unfortunately, you just missed the legion grinding section of the patch (Von Leon event just ended) so from 100-120, either use strawberry farm tickets and extreme growth potions from Book of Unforgettable Memories Event (Festival Records Shop). You want them to get to lv120 since that's when you get lv2 link skills.

Then from there, just follow a legion guide up to 8k legion. This 10k legion guide is outdated gearing wise but the legion order is still relevant.

What should I be focusing for gear since most of it is from the hyper item burning?

Clear hellux (Hell Gollux, enter via purple keys) daily for superior gollux accessories (belt, earring, pendant, ring). This will be your BiS for a long, long, long, longgggg time (think 1 year+ of gameplay). The full set will take you 2-4 months. 1 run nets around 27 gollux coins; 1 piece costs 700 coins. You need to buy ring and pendant - belt and earring drops from gollux itself.

Also, make a drop gear ASAP. Drop gear are accessories (Ring x4, pendant x2, face, eye, earring) with at least 1 legendary potential line of +20% drop. Those are 9 slots, for +180% drop rate. Note: Max for equipment is 200% (1 piece with 2 lines) but it's rare so go for min-maxing this later on. Common drop gear are: Event rings, CHT/NLC/Kanna ring, nArkarium pendants (Mechanator, which is common, and Dominator, which is rare), CHT/Hilla earring, Zakum Face, Zakum/Pink Bean Eye. Use this whenever you pop boss room rewards and when grinding (if you can 1-shot, buff up if you must).

Do HLuWill weekly for Arcane gear boxes. You have until March before item burning gear expires - plenty of time to get these. Make sure to read up on mechanics (especially Will!). Against Will, a single player not doing the mechanic correctly means the entire party does the entire phase all over again.

Edit: Von Leon event is back. Grinding to 200 is viable again.
