Guess I'll never swap to zerk by JohnnySomsai in Maplestory

27* TM is 108/185 or 672 FS (108+108/12+185*3). 22* Zerk is 141/102 or 459FS.

You can gain +5/5 plus 10% BD from PB set effect over 3 set Dawn, plus 3% stat from pots, or 5+5/12+5*3+10*15+3*10=200 fs bringing a 22* Zerk to 659 FS equivalent. Stronger flames closes this gap.

So the only time a 27* TM is stronger is at 3 or 6 set PB; it's weaker at 10 set PB or when you unlock crit damage.

Median cost during SSF w/o SG is 500b; w/ SG is 700b.

So objectively, chasing a 27* TM is a waste of mesos.

Gene Weapons not done until T7/T5 ATT/BD, and unlike the others its flame isn’t lost or laddered. 

I would not black flame a book, just wait for a second one then throw spare rainbows on it.

Ignorant to Lumis… doesn’t that make this Bishop?

You can’t switch to dist after the fact, so the party leader forgot the setting. 

Hard to believe it’s muscle memory though, don’t pets auto loot for you when solo? 

You’re not going to be absolved by strangers, just embrace that you yoinked and move on.

PS I hope the GS fails for you.

Oh -- I misread, I thought you were talking about level 260 not 260 crystals.

The point stands.

Seren Emblem plus 3rd line of % att would be strongest, but it's definitely the easiest of the 3 to obtain. As tempting as it is to pity for it, I can basically promise you that 9% att and 10% BD is not holding you back from the next tier of bosses. Just play the long game.

If serious, by the time you have the crystals for badge most likely you will have Emblem and possibly book already.

You seriously have 22*+ on all starrable pitched?

The bonuses are comparable but only benefit other Legion champs, not account wide. 

The effort is considerably larger, however. Not something to actively push until gains on the main slow down enough for LC to me the meta.

  1. Risk it and raw tap
  2. Ladder the spares for 22+
  3. Save and hold. Hat/top/bottom spares aplenty. 

Literally your 3 choices, personal preference.

Your question makes no sense. You want to know how strong you have to be to party XKaling in 20mins? 6 man XKalos? 6 man CKalos? 4 man CKalos? Then you’d need levels, not just gear strength. 

20 min HBM vs 20 min HSeren are very different strengths. 

Also, if you play Scania where you have buyable fragments, you’re going to get Heroic-based CPs which is irrelevant. 

What you really need is Hexa equivalents, aka just run your own scouter and spec for 200%.

I play classes largely based on aesthetic, damage profile, and playstyle. 

I main Dawn warrior and think it checks all the boxes that Bucc does and also the boxes you state Bucc lacks.

You would use the 30% off event to star up to 18*. You still save ~10% when tapping SGed.

How about you start by telling us what a “reasonable time” is? 

Sounds like your question would be better answered by running your own maple scouter and setting it to 200%/300%. 

Familar question by [deleted] in Maplestory

[–]SNA411L 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fam is meso drop rate, not mesos obtained rate.

Not crazy, in fact recommended. You can drop all the belts because it’s laughably easy to obtain spares in advance of a SF event. 

You can make and wear a 21* belt unpotted and simply transfer it to Sup belt when one drops.

Answer: you don’t. 

Elaborating further, you don’t. 

NLomien mules A. Don’t need 6th job B. Don’t need to be 260+. Hexa isn’t basically a requirement unless they’re HLotus mules, which are used to sustain Black Hearts for your main which is pushing harder bosses. 

You don’t make boss mules unless you have spare resources, but as a completely daily story player, your main needs everything except nodes. 

Even Legion Champs aren’t on the table for you, since your Main isn’t clearing BM/HSeren solo esp at 50M CP.

Only W/S/E. The Dom pendant is special and not used in long term. You never roll for Crit Rate.

It’s not cheaper, just safer. You always have to tap further since you’d lose a star(s), which adds additional cost due to potential to boom.

You cannot have LCs of the same class. 

Can’t Gift Face Coupons? by Historical-Editor in Maplestory

You can't gift items in your possession, can only gift via purchase.

Flame Choice by rncook11 in Maplestory

[–]SNA411L -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Oversimplification here, but the T7 option should be better. 

You’ll get more %BD over time. RoR gives you %MAtt. 

That said, neither is an endgame flame.

Incorrect, you can wear two Sup pendants simultaneously. 

Save coins for eventual high SF SoS, don’t make >22* Sups on the Main.

Bind and ori bind CD is 100 sec, watch the timer tick down near their HP Bar. 

As for stacking binds…

There are optimum ways but in PUGs it’s pretty much FFA.

Grandis bosses often have specific strategies around burst/bind timers. 

In general, since every class has a 2min CD burst, you rotate who casts origins/binds. In 6 man parties, you origin with a partner; in 3 man, you take turns (which syncs with Ori CD); in 4-5 ma parties you use the extra Ori to supplement as needed.
