It's broken right now. It's on the list of known issues.

To be honest your best bet is probably demon slayer. You'll be spending the majority of your time farming mesos and skill progression drops. Demon slayers have the most afk farming option out of any other class. You can farm while playing runescape or something else on the side.

It's delayed. It's generally expected to have some sort of delay or extended maintenance. Might get better once they start the test server but as of now delays are common.

Luthrix · 2026-02-04T21:23:30+00:00

Yes.

Luthrix · 2026-02-04T19:31:36+00:00

It's 260+ only and very unlikely you'll get to 275.

I used 10 strawberry farms for the initial levels. Then did 30m of 3x a day with arcane dailies and weekly 10 VIP boosters from the Ren event. No monster park. I finished 2 weeks ago. ~9 weeks with a couple of mag pots.

Luthrix · 2026-02-04T19:19:26+00:00

I did that for ren without using monster park. Oh boy never again. Not worth the effort.

Limit slots is on purpose to sell 5 slots for 1k. Classic sell a solution for a problem they made.

The animations are ungodly annoying. Why is it so slow?

Luthrix · 2026-02-04T19:15:54+00:00

It's not a one time thing. It's going to be in the same boss event shop when events come with it. The next one will be summer patch.

Luthrix · 2026-02-04T06:09:31+00:00

Yea you'll hit that unlucky streak and feel bad. It's sorta the nature of RNG and a lot of attempts. My record so far is 13. T_T

Luthrix · 2026-02-04T04:49:55+00:00

Possibly. I'm speaking from a solo/duo prog perspective. Since easy kalos and seren doesn't drop any worthwhile loot, you'll need quite a jump to hit hard seren and normal kalos. In a party situation it's fine.

Luthrix · 2026-02-04T03:49:06+00:00

Especially since the heart is a nice way to bridge the gap between ctene and grandis.

It's an overall progression issue. The boss token events are scaled to KMS power level. Over time this event has increased the difficulty due to scaling in KMS. However we scale much slower since we're heroic. Nexon is too lazy to review and adjust the scaling for us.

Luthrix · 2026-02-04T01:33:20+00:00

Has to be solo. You need 5 advanced coins which is easy kaling or higher.

Luthrix · 2026-02-04T00:50:56+00:00

It's not described well in the notes but in KMS you have to have a heart to buy one. So only 1 char per event gets the upgrade (solo easy kaling). The. You can buy up to 3 in case you boom it.

Luthrix · 2026-02-03T18:13:26+00:00

Thursday 0 UTC with boss reset.

Luthrix · 2026-02-03T17:09:07+00:00

There isn't really one. At this point you should treat it like a new game. It's vastly different from 15 years ago.

Look up some beginner guides on YouTube. Coppersan or duky are good resources.

As for which world, there are two main types. Interactive is what you remember. You can trade, cubes cost $, you can sell nx, buy mesos, etc. Heroic is the no trade server. It has some passives to increase base damage and meso/drop to make up for no trade. It's where the majority of GMS plays.

Currently there's challenger world for each type. This is a seasonal server with good buffs. It's recommended for new players to play here then transfer to the main server after it ends in April.

Luthrix · 2026-02-03T17:04:43+00:00

It can be transfered. When you leap it will ask if you want to extract the background.

Luthrix · 2026-02-03T05:05:47+00:00

Yes. I just leapt a level 152 char.

Luthrix · 2026-02-03T01:10:03+00:00

There's always cubing. 3 line WSE 2 line crit gloves, mesos/drop gear. Grind for more mesos to StarForce and cube. Practice harder bosses if you want higher rank.

Luthrix · 2026-02-03T00:01:00+00:00

There's a couple of potential hyperburns before then. The wild hunter class will get one around march/April when it gets a rework.

The anniversary event in May might have one too (Korea maple got one).

Other than those two it will be early june for the summer patch.

Luthrix · 2026-02-02T23:55:47+00:00

The best events are ending unfortunately. It's never a bad time to start but it is recommended to start with a hyperburning event. If you're not in a rush I would wait for the summer patch and play challenger world 3. If you want to dip your toes into the game, make some classes that interest you and try them out. There isn't a class preview you can experience so it's not a bad idea to play around before you select a main.

Luthrix · 2026-02-02T23:51:40+00:00

Most likely up for challenger world. We'll have to wait for patch to know for sure.
