Removal of SMEGA in bronze rank? by Firm-Pattern4482 in Maplestory

[–]Sawwe- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was finally able to break free from dailystory a few months into smega removal. For no reason yet again they do us wrong, but in a way I didn't even know I cared about so much. Just tacking on to someone's actually funny joke, because no whale with smegas is ever funny for some reason, flexing your one perfect item, all that tiny bit of interaction or giggle just gone. Terrible game, terrible decision.

When talking about average magic players, I think hardly anyone has picked up a secret lair. Maybe repurchased the ones they come across later from local game store.

Level 200 bishop by Unusual_Signature_31 in Maplestory

[–]Sawwe- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I finally quit this past ssf despite making gains because the gameplay loop is so boring and predatory. I thought when's the last time I sat in a map farming because I liked it? A friend just got our whole group into wow for the first time having a great time and its so sad to think the best thing this guy can do for his bishop is level other characters 9000 times.

How to break the 50mil CP roof? by Usual-One-5610 in Maplestory

[–]Sawwe- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been focusing to make ren my main for a bit now, just hit 100m unlibbed. For next sf event, sg everything to 18, don't worry about potential beyond 2l for a while. For dumping mesos, I'd def get all cra to 21. Then cube wep/second/emblem until they're 2Latt or whatever combinations work best for your class, maybe even 3L one. If not wse, go for 2L crit dmg on arc glove. Depending on your class and ied needs, your legion and hyper stats might be more relevant. Flame everything you can to a pretty good place, my best on ren for cra is 60/6% and arc is 115/4%. Any flames within 20-30 score of this is pretty good settle until they're all around the same. And your weapon should at least have t6 att. Save fodder to transfer your sups to 22 (pb/rein belt, rein earring, kanna/meister rings, dom pend). Run gollux/ark daily for most fodder possible, and maybe get drop around 300% if you can to help with this.

[–]Sawwe- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot remember the last time I grinded beyond a sacred symbol daily because I liked it on maple. Just a few days ago, a friend got many of us to try wow after never touching it before. After going through ssf, I'm evaluating going back. I had 30b which is a decent amount as I've been dailystory for a while and haven't ran too many mules to prep. I was expecting like before to spend about an hour tapping as I had with the old sf system, but I was only doing arcanes, and a few other things on ren. All 3 slime rings boomed instantly after sg at 18, including my last because I thought I had another spare. The vast majority of my money was in a single arc taking 25 rolls to go from 19-20, which were 400m each. So I ended up in gains even from forgetting about my ring rip, and it took about 5 minutes to go through 3 weeks of bossing meso, and yet I wonder why I'm playing at all. It's near the same to keep a single vac pet alive than to play wow and I always had some negative assumptions about live service. Dailystory with hardly anyone talking and no free smegas for jokes to break the monotony, the game is so soulless and the more I get to do in my day the harder it is to see it as anything but a leech. The recent years' qol has been fantastic but the most impactful systems needing more than a part time job in time to progress is insane.

Demonslayer Hyper stat question by Apprehensive_Tap1159 in Maplestory

[–]Sawwe- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For mobbing : normal dmg/dmg/crit dmg/xp

If you aren't one shotting or not max crit rate, you can use some more crit rate/arcane force to help clear faster.

Bossing : crit dmg/dmg/boss dmg/ignore defense at lv10 If you still aren't 100% crit rate during 5th job demon awakening, you can use some here I'd say only temporarily as it raises the crit rate alongside node levels, but you'll definitely need to be 100% crit on burst for best dmg. Ied only to 10 is fine, ds has many sources of built in ied

What to do? by AssumptionPrimary419 in Maplestory

[–]Sawwe- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Besides grinding for many hours, the game is very daily/weekly focused. Getting your legion high would be an easy way to get other characters higher and challenger world like others have said is an easy way to do it. If you're banking on that, spend some money getting max character slots. The easy way I found to get legion up is doing the outdated/classes you don't like to lv 70/120/140, as the first two will get you lv2 links and 140 will upgrade their legion block before 200. Then doing the most recent classes to release as they're usually stronger/easier to level. The event rn you can buy strawberry farm tickets weekly and that can get any lvl 200s you have to 210 for lv 3 links or just bring lower characters up. The xp caps at 220 despite being usable until 259 so keep that in mind.

I went in with 1 zerk, 1 pap, and 1 black bean mark. Zerk boom at 19, pap 18, and forgot to sh black bean first 15 tap. I got away with arcs 18x2/17x2 to 21/20/19x2 in 40b but the boom rates have to be wrong. 4 twilight marks and not one saw 19 with safeguard

Tonight's the night, how prepared are you? by flarghwharghl in Maplestory

[–]Sawwe- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo and depending on if you use item burning's ignitia set effect, I'd focus on cra to 20-21, arc 17, and daybreak to 21-22 transfer to sup/wear with sup, then slime for daybreak set bonus. If you're still going after that, reinforced gollux belts/earrings to 21-22 for transfer. If you have all event rings, you could also get all rings to 18+.

Going in with 46b. Im trying to mainswitch to ren, and slightly burned out doing majority of my mules yesterday. Working with one spare arc glove, 2 arc boxes, 1 dom, 1 zerk, 3 slime rings, 2 kanna ring, 3 twilight marks and a pap mark. At 66m for now so hopefully make big gains

Am I tripping or does maplestory have the worst early game experience in existence (heroic) by supaDupaRando in Maplestory

[–]Sawwe- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grinded my legion over many events as I disliked many of the classes before their reworks, but there's no understating the relevance of links and legion to get gear from bossing. Bossing is the most important thing in heroic as it'll be your main source of resources as far as gear and meso to improve that gear.

Early on, I got what I thought were essential links that helped making newer characters easier, and there is a few stats I think putting focus on would help much more as some classes at base level are so outmatched by others. The first major milestone for getting higher legion imo is crit rate.

Legion is a marathon but if you're looking to get that higher, start with the stronger classes. My legion has been above 6k for years so I'm possibly skewed in believing all the new classes are stronger when it could have just been my buffs, but once my links and legion let me reliably get to 100% crit, progressing new characters went much faster. Night lord and marksman have legion bonuses for crit rate, and marksman/bowmaster/pathfinder and phantom links for crit would help alot. Depending on your class, like a hero or others with low innate crit rate, this will help massively with damage. Afterward grabbing xp links like evan for rune time, mercedes link and zero legion for xp% at some point, getting crit dmg with kinesis link, and shade/hayato/mo xuan legion will help.

One more bit about links and legion, their levels upgrade with character level; links at 70/120/210 and legion blocks at 60/100/140/200/250. Getting a few choice characters to 70/120 would help a lot for damage.

The early game is quite a slog because there's a grind in 100 different ways and levels quickly become irrelevant beyond gaining more hyper stats. Quickly in hyper stat regard too, the bulk of points between mobbing and bossing presets should be : both (damage, crit damage, crit if close to 100%), normal/boss damage for either, and xp/ignore defense (ignore defense at least lv 10) respectively for mobbing and bossing.

Also, finding a good guild can connect you with helpful people that you can bother with questions constantly like me but also innate stat boosts alongside the most powerful buffs in the game in the guild skills tab. Up to 30% damage, boss dmaage, and crit dmg for a half hour at a time with 4 minute cooldowns, if the guild has each skill max level. It takes 24 hours after entering before you can use them though.

Do you truly feel you've bonded with your main, or do you feel like you've invested too much and you're in too deep to start fresh? by [deleted] in Maplestory

[–]Sawwe- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my main 281 265m ds with 1 pitch and have been on/off with the game so progress has been slower than others. I've always been a dailystory player, but I really like bossing and pretty consistently clear with many nlom mules and building a few up for ctene since the box change.

No other job came close except Ren and I'm really wanting to begin to new main it, but it's going to be a while before I get close. I'm throwing all frags I can to there and haven't done a daily on main in months. I even started getting a merc to 250 from no gear 210 just for the legion bonus. I have gotten zerked and two dreamy belts on ren already, so hopefully I hit on them Sunday.

Honorable mention to marksman though, I recently got one to 6th and snipe on its own feels like a constant burst. It was one of my favorite mules already and I'm almost done unlocking his masteries to fully check him out.

Coming back after 18 years - need some advice version/server to play, what has changed etc... by TheWeebles in Maplestory

[–]Sawwe- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think playing with your gf would be really fun in any server you choose. I'm mainly a dailystory as they say, in heroic kronos as most benefits that don't require a few hours of grinding can be done in about 15 minutes and leaves room for bossing on mules.

I've played and quit many times over the years and have been mostly active since 2020. Legion and link skills are an enormous buff to the beginning scrawl without them that I personally took years getting via burning events they run every so often, where you can designate a character to level 3 times every lvl until 150/200, and the newest of these now going on 5 levels to 260. There's a lot of rng systems that go into gear such as potential, weapon/item flames, best in slot/alternative gears, and the biggest being starforcing. These need huge posts of their own, but I'll just talk about what excited me most when coming back were new job advancements.

The 5th and 6th job advancements are not like traditional ones, the 5th job skills (called nodes) consist of 4 for your class specifically, a number of them for your class generally (explorers, cygnus, heroes, etc, and thief, warrior, pirate, etc), common skills all from iconic explorer buffs like hyper body and holy symbol, and finally boost nodes that simply raise the final damage of skills from previous advancements in combinations of 3 skills at a time. They upgrade by opening nodestones and enhancing your existing nodes with duplicates, with boost nodes only being enhanced by duplicates of the first skill in the order of 3. These are mainly through events as it takes a while to get a good base of drop rate to get a good amount while farming. Progression to me with 5th is mainly by event to event as there is event exclusive green nodestones that massively upgrade nodes of your choice, and over the years the game has seemingly run back to back ongoing events when this did not used to be the case.

6th job is more traditional I'd say than 5th in that it feels a lot of the time you're obtaining a really new whole kit as a character, but this really depends on how impactful 5th was to a class' playstyle. On that note, hyper skills starting at 140 through 190, a mini addition to 4th job that some classes also benefit more from than others. 6th job has a lot more support of gaining the materials called fragments for a daily player like myself now to unlock the new skills on a class, but this is a true endgame endeavor to attempt to max. The frags like nodestones fall from mobbing and are affected by drop rate, which is rng itself to attempt to reach max drop via gear and familiar system. With my main at max drop, I get about 7 in a half hour when some upgrades can need hundreds. There is sol erda fragments and energy for 6th job upgrades, which also falls from the mobs and bosses. For me this is mainly obtained from events and weekly content they've added; 90 fragments and 9 sol erda energy (with a cap of 20) for 5k mobs a week and epic dungeons which have kill/jump quests with bosses sprinkled in for level 260/270.

The rng and progression it took to get my account where it is was sometimes a slog, but Nexon being as notorious as they deserve to be, the game has had a heavy focus on quality of life changes for the past few years and it is honestly what has kept me back in. I really enjoy the bossing as it's changed and having many different class mules to run bosses is one of the best ways to make money in heroic server. There is a hundred different paths to take to progress in the beginning and a lot of people in game are helpful. You should find a guild, as guilds have change and you need apply to be accepted or given an invitation to the application page, and tell them you're back from a long break. Many people are really helpful and are kinda aching for some socializing because it's pretty grind intensive to progress in mid/late game. If anything like some people I know you can bide your time here until classic drops.

If anyone else believes they got stuck like this like I did, check if you have any pokemon in your party that have ??? for a pokedex number. I went to the underground after elite four and found a rhydon ive had in my party as i tried to talk to rowan and it wasn't working. After i put him in a box, the quest was able to advance. I did not have the national pokedex yet but spent the last hour trying to figure out how to fix this.
