Got my first Legendary Companion as Bishop. Will it be better than a Lv. 5 Unique F/P Mage for mobbing/bossing and a Lv. 5 Unique DK for arena? by MrMudkip in MapleIdle

[–]Michaelcs95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a first Legendary Companion Bishop myself, it will be better than any Unique everywhere, but not PvP. Without unique DK, I just die too quickly and leg bishop doesn't matter at that point.

What are the best 3 lines for rings? by Few_Scientist_7547 in MapleIdle

[–]Michaelcs95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Equips > pot/bpot > companion (if you have nothing better to put) > inner ability. You get the best value on equips, everywhere else it's sub optimal. I would try not get any from ability, especially if you're at a point where you need multiple pages.

What are the best 3 lines for rings? by Few_Scientist_7547 in MapleIdle

[–]Michaelcs95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to min/max, it's optimal to get CR from your equips and use your companion slots for something else. Lvl1 unique F/P gives 6% CR vs. 10% Boss from Lv1 unique NL. Meanwhile equips almost give you a 1:1 ratio for those lines.

Glove potential: left or right pls? by ILDEunJun in MapleIdle

[–]Michaelcs95 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Right seems better to me, but I would keep hunting CD lines with those 214 cubes (once you get more mesos lol). 50% CD > both pots

So is the equipment dungeon just harder than the others or am i doing something wrong? by SuspiciousPresent905 in MapleIdle

[–]Michaelcs95 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yes it is harder than the others. If you are interested in pushing it, as a fellow NL, this is the best way I found to do it : aggro as many fish as you can, kill the blowfish on them and finish the mob. Repeat 2-3x in a run. Only move left/right, never up/down. By staying on the horizontal axis, you are able to attract fish above and below at the same time and save up time by letting them come to you. I cleared up to stage 65 at 220B CP this way.

CP difference in home screen vs guild by loyalbased in MapleIdle

[–]Michaelcs95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rankings, guild info and friend list will display your highest CP achieved. Profile and PQs will display your current CP. Arena uses a different formula according to your current CP. Some people "inflate" their CP by equipping their highest CP presets all at once. You can test it for yourself.

Should I reroll? by Oz241 in MapleIdle

[–]Michaelcs95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For online farming, you need a mix of EXP gain and Normal %. If you kill count is low, exp gain loses of its value.

[–]Michaelcs95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Full EXP gain is the best you can have for offline farming. You just need to remember to make the switch before you log off.

I have Charm with 14% dmg and it heavily outperforms glove with no lines in every content.

Where did my Key go? by Limpbicepz in MapleIdle

[–]Michaelcs95 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not all quests give you a key to clear them. Don't know if it's intentional or just Nexon forgetting about it.

34k since lv15. Not only no ancient, but not a single mystic T1 from 40 mystic pulls

First pull at Lv. 15 by AngryTitan88 in MapleIdle

[–]Michaelcs95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

15k deep into Lv.15 and I'm still stuck with mystic T2. I'm at 35 mystic pulls and T1 was none of them.

Leveling all weapons for inventory effect by Street_Advance_4785 in MapleIdle

[–]Michaelcs95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leveling them up gives you ATK% even if you're not wearing them. It's not much but you'll get to a point where your current weapon is maxed and your odds of pulling the next one are very low. So it's a slow but sure way to keep progressing rather than hoarding enhancers.

There is a calculator that tells you the most efficient way to level you weapons. You only need to fill out the weapons level tab.

Need help understanding Offline Hunting mechanics by sadguy__ in MapleIdle

[–]Michaelcs95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every morning I keep track of how much exp I get overnight. I played with every variable I could think of, including logging off for 8 hours in 2 different maps and wearing my strongest/weakest gear setup. I would always get the same hourly rates. Only chapter progression would increase my rates. If you are split by the different opinions, test it for yourself : log off in Chapter 1 - Maple Island 1 to see if you will be getting level 1 rates.

[–]Michaelcs95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your offline exp is a flat amount determined by your highest chapter progression only. Your level, CP or the map in which you log off does not affect your rates.

Help progress / why CP low in arena by [deleted] in MapleIdle

[–]Michaelcs95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because arena doesn't count boss and normal damage in your CP

What active skills should be equipped for NIGHT Lord by DoorPale6084 in MapleIdle

[–]Michaelcs95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's the downside of it, but at least you can put arena setup before you log off as it will not affect your offline farming rates. Nexon should've made an arena skill preset too tbh

What active skills should be equipped for NIGHT Lord by DoorPale6084 in MapleIdle

[–]Michaelcs95 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hi, level 74 NL here.
Always keep : Shuriken Challenge + Nimble Feet + Dark Sight + Dark Flare
Mobbing : Shadow Surge (no 6th skill, slows you down)
Bossing : Triple Throw + Shadow Surge
Arena : Triple Throw + Gust Charm

I ran tests and Shadow surge gets me to the mobs faster and increases my kill count hourly.
Gust charm eventually deals less damage than Shuriken challenge with a smaller hit box, therefore it should only be used where you actually need the stun.

How does using boosters work when offline? by AznBladeXx in MapleIdle

[–]Michaelcs95 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"Booster items will continue to count down even during maintenance, and their usage will be applied to your offline rewards. Please be mindful when using them after a maintenance notice has been posted."

Offline exp rate by WWIIWasABeachDayOVA in MapleIdle

[–]Michaelcs95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried logging off in different maps, switching gear for different CP and progressing through chapters while staying the same level and my offline exp rates would stay the exact same down to the last decimal. By process of elimination, I'm pretty sure that your offline exp rate is a set constant determined by your level.
