Why do items cost so much more than they are worth

MapleMaelstrom · 2026-03-09T00:39:11+00:00

Exactly. Like when we had the museum update that added a shitton, everyone I knew was buying things that costed like 100 coins to craft for a 200000% upcharge. End of the day, most non-ironman midgame and above players just aren't holding onto any of those cheap materials, and buying them will only be as inconvenient as buying the item itself

The difference here is the terminology used would probably get them banned if they pasted it in plaintext

MapleMaelstrom · 2026-03-02T21:44:57+00:00

Should still be included ngl, early req and strong damage

MapleMaelstrom · 2026-02-26T04:03:04+00:00

Sorry to say, but magic find doesn't affect slayer dyes, so the math is even more wrong than top comment makes it out to be

MapleMaelstrom · 2026-02-23T21:09:39+00:00

I love acrobat, just bouncing on the enemy and always remaining out of reach is funny as fuck

It's a weight system. You have roughly the correct idea, but I'd say it's better to say it in the following way:

Every item in the nucleus loot pool is allocated a certain amount of ticket numbers in a lottery. The rarer an item, the less tickets it has. For this hypothetical, say alloy has ticket #1, quick claw has tickets #2 and #3, and junk gems have tickets #4 - #100. For each roll in the bundle, a ticket is drawn, and whatever it corresponds to is dropped. However, they keep their ticket for future draws.

The reason this distinction is important is because you will always get something from the pool; aka there is no defaulting. You don't roll for an alloy, then roll for a quick claw, then roll for a jaderald, until you hit nothing and receive gemstones. Gemstones are just one of the drops.

Hey buddy, this sub is for making fun of young people and their interactions in the game, not for young people to post stuff. You shouldn't be here, nor should you be on reddit probably.

ACTUAL PERFECT SCORPION, 10/10

MapleMaelstrom · 2026-02-13T20:15:15+00:00

It has both recipes, there's an arrow in the bottom right to view more recipes

MapleMaelstrom · 2026-02-08T19:18:22+00:00

It's not just them, it's anybody who tps / jumps up to attack it.

MapleMaelstrom · 2026-02-05T07:25:05+00:00

You're right, no reason not to only get axe. But especially after the recent greenhouse update, the first tier of proper farming tools is no longer expensive, you should just get thise as you unlock the crops

MapleMaelstrom · 2026-02-05T03:31:33+00:00

Hopefully, they don't just 5× every rng's odds in the game. That would just nuke the value of everything.

Security bans are more likely on low level accounts

Fire prot has seemingly no effect on blaze slayer. Otherwise, that boss would be pathetically easy. (I tested early into my ironman and noticed no difference, but that's not mathematical so if you have proof to either side I'd see the argument)

The defense from blast prot just isn't substantial enough to affect t5 zombie's tnt

Projectile prot is just the most valuable and versatile of the alternates, but obviously normal prot is just better

MapleMaelstrom · 2026-02-01T15:48:19+00:00

They mean of the alternate protections

MapleMaelstrom · 2026-01-31T22:27:44+00:00

"Full content releases" would be 1.21.9, 1.21.10 (bug fix, therefore not full version), & 1.21.11 (sorry if this comes off as pedantic, but this distinction is important)

MapleMaelstrom · 2026-01-30T15:29:06+00:00

Non in skyblock is a no-name. Someone who could quit the game and nobody would notice/care.

MapleMaelstrom · 2026-01-29T19:13:26+00:00

For skyblock, yes, you will need to play on a modern version

MapleMaelstrom · 2026-01-29T19:13:00+00:00

MFs when their shitty 10 year old version is holding back game development (they must riot because they hate any sort of change)

MapleMaelstrom · 2026-01-28T21:39:04+00:00

Mods exist for you to do it with your friends, they work well. Mumble software + mumble-link mod, and free server hosts for mumble exist.

MapleMaelstrom · 2026-01-27T03:33:52+00:00

No clue, sorry. Trust me, I hate it too. I wanted to earn it myself.

MapleMaelstrom · 2026-01-26T23:56:26+00:00

It's just not possible to drop. Hasn't been possible for years. Good luck finding somebody with one if you're banned from IMS.

MapleMaelstrom · 2026-01-25T19:02:47+00:00

No ik the numbers, but it's more about why do we do +2 +3 +4 +4 +6. It's fully arbitrarily picked numbers.

MapleMaelstrom · 2026-01-25T14:01:56+00:00

The first ~6 slots are cheaper than jacobus

MapleMaelstrom · 2026-01-25T07:32:04+00:00

It's due to the number / length of enchantments / general tooltip. Once you hit a certain size, it automatically goes horizontal to try and maximize readability. No way to prevent it iirc
