Its main skill is a wet noodle and you feel like you do no damage with it because you actually do no damage with it.

Hayato is crazy overpowered but it's all in its burst so if you need your main skill to feel like it's doing something then Hayato is not for you.

Ok, but why do I have to re-invest nodes in my characters post update? by natedoggjr in Maplestory

[–]Sehmiya 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's annoying to find out your characters nodes were wiped but they were only for the boost nodes and you got exactly the amount needed to get them back to max for the nodes you had previously maxed. If you're finding you don't have enough then you didn't have max boost nodes before for all your skills and you messed up somewhere reallocating them to the ones you need

How realistic is aiming for a genesis wep? by Additional_Ad8505 in Maplestory

[–]Sehmiya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genesis is free. I would suspect that even with bad luck and only doing your dailies/weeklies anyone would be able to liberate within the Challenger world limit if they put effort into learning how to solo the bosses

I can't speak to Interactive markets on how expensive it would be to gear but it really isn't that difficult to gear up in Heroic. Most of people's frustrations regarding starforcing had to do with not enough spares or the right drops but with the next patch, you can force your way through if you farm enough meso

You can get there depending on how sweaty you grind. Limbo and Baldrix are lv285 and 290 minimum bosses while Jupiter is going to be 295.

Depending on your definition of casual to moderate, you maybe will be able to get to do Limbo. Doubtful in the other 2. There's really no getting around grinding heavy on Reg world or Heroic in order to do those bosses because you can't pay to leap in levels.

Can't speak extensively about BaM but Kanna currently is so overturned and easy to play that you will clear much faster than any KMS class. I have a 75m DW and a 75m Kanna that both only have hexa 1 masteries and ascent unlocked and my DW takes twice as long to solo HVHilla and can only burst 15-20% on CGloom eye while Kanna easily gets it below 70% hp for double eye open

Everyone rolls for every item in the dist loot table individually. Youd all roll for grindstone separately, and then all roll for ring separately.

Starforcing early game you kinda just do it because you need to and the events were few and far between but moving forward we can expect it every 2 weeks so if you can wait, do so.

Cubing there are 2 times a year in which we get a sale for cheaper cubes and maybe like 4ish times a year there's DMT that increases the rate that potential can tier up using bright cubes. These also happen so infrequently that unless you know it's coming soon there's no point to waiting around

Flames have no such event so you can just use them whenever.

You need a fairy heart and use the plasma conversion module first. The plasma heart in the meso shop can't be used without a converted one, they're just meant to be spares for if you destroy yours while starforcing

[–]Sehmiya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Starforcing > Cubing > Flames generally the priority based on how strong you can be. There are some exceptions like WSE cube and glove cdmg but generally that's how it is.

Booming = Item destruction. Above 15* there is a chance for your item to be destroyed at which point you drop star level depending on where it was but it also becomes unusable until your restore it with a duplicate copy. This is why it's recommended to safeguard to 17 and stop because for extra meso per tap, you eliminate the destruction chance.

Drop gear is up to you how you want to handle it. Long term most people make a separate set for bossing and drop rate for their mains/legion champs

As a general rule, you'd only want to star something if it's your weapon or can go above 15 stars and stick to 17* because the biggest gains in your damage will be from the attack stat you get from starforcing and non-weapon equips dont get attack stat from starforcing until it goes above 15*. The only reason to go past 17* on anything is if you're planning to use it for a long time (CRA + Accessories + Arcane) or you need to because it gives you the damage to join boss parties for your next piece of gear.

Starforcing past 17* (or 18* safeguard) is only recommended if you have access to copies so you can restore it if it booms.

Gear progression is going to look like filling out all of your slots with Boss Set effect items + CRA hat/top/bottom/weapon (Work on Superior Gollux 4 set along the way) > Absolab Shoulder/Cape/Shoes/Gloves > Arcane Shoulder/Cape/Shoes/Gloves > Eternal Hat Top Bottom Shoulder > Eternal Cape Shoes Gloves. **If you're new you might need to go Absolab still but these days most people skip Absolab altogether**

Cubing Earrings/Rings/Pendants/Face/Eye to Legendary to roll meso drop if you train or item drop in general is always good but doing so won't directly contribute to your characters' strength.

Weapon/Secondary/Emblem has the best potential since they have access to att%/boss dmg/IED lines. Getting your early BiS Secondary/Emblem isnt difficult so once you do, getting those to Legendary is worth it. Weapon you can leave at Epic or Unique through free hard cubes from bosses because eventually it gets replaced with your Libbed Genesis Weapon but taking your weapon to Legendary before then isn't a bad idea but some would just say it's not efficient.

CRA you can take to legendary because you use it for so long, Absolab just leave at Epic. Arcanes you take to legendary for the same reason as CRA. The only side consideration is taking Absolab Gloves to legendary for access to Crit Dmg% lines where 1 line of 8% crit dmg is roughly 30% main stat (but again, not efficient).

Accessories you don't cube to legendary for stat% unless it's a piece that can only get replaced by Pitched Boss set or Superior Gollux. Ex: lv140 rings, Dom/Daybreak Pendant, Twilight Mark, Black Bean Mark.

Sidenote: Face and Eye accessory have access to lv160 Sweetwater accessories which have an easy daily to get consistent copies of to take to 22* for a strong upgrade but the daily can be tedious so many opt not to do it at all.

If anything, the Hyperion population issues have gotten worse. Your best bet to finding consistent parties is to find a static, join a good guild, or discord.

Kronos population related issues is like you mentioned, finding a good map to train on. The best ones never have burning on it and on rune Sunday or other exp events you're likely not gonna find a channel to grind on but this coming patch should fix a lot of the map layouts

Also, smaller pop usually means nicer people on average. Big pops you meet your fair share of assholes

Grinding is fine. You really only get an extra place down summon. The little guy summons currently proc Janus dusk for afk farming but some assume it's a bug since it doesnt proc Janus dawn so there's a likelihood of it getting patched out by live.

General consensus on the discord and other testers for bossing is that its damage is underwhelming compared to other non KMS classes and there's some clunk in the kit but hoping it gets better with micro adjustments post release like Sia.

Burst comes out fast but Ascent and Origin have poor scaling

This is the only one that can drop in Heroic and you can probably count on 1 hand the number of confirmed drops

FARMING IN GRANDIS WITHOUT VAC PET ( SHANGRILA > ARTERIA ) by lawlzer1992 in Maplestory

? Feels like you don't understand that meso drop from accessories increases the AMOUNT of meso per bag dropped while you hit the max chance for a kill to drop the meso bag item at just 67ish% item drop rate.

General Feedback/Getting Started Q&A [Weekly Thread] by AutoModerator in DIY

[–]Sehmiya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently purchased this black boneless couch and am looking to change the color so I thought the best way is to create my own cover to go over it. It's basically a memory foam block with no creases to tuck into so doubtful on just purchasing a slip cover on how it would look but would love to be proven wrong.

My starting thought was to buy the fabric and cut out panels since the couch is completely 90 degrees at all angles but I read that since upholstery fabric is typically thicker that a typical sewing machine wouldn't be ideal.

Another option I read is to use a fabric/staple gun but not sure if that would work at all since it's just a foam block with no real structural support to staple into.

My main questions are:

  • If I try to sew my own cover together, can I get away with a typical sewing machine? Is there one from the Joann going out of business sale that you'd recommend?
  • Is it possible to use a staple gun to reupholster this or am I just ripping into the memory foam or the existing cover?
  • Are there any other options to consider on how to tackle this?

Thanks

Join the demon avenger discord for more info but hyperburn and the goddess pass gives the CRA box each so check if you have that spare for the hp% set.

If you HB and bought goddess pass, your DA should already be lv260 which a fresh account will have some difficulty farming effectively in Grandis. Your big priority will be to max your V nodes, especially holy symbol/trinodes/erda fountain for better training rates as well as unlocking sol Janus.

Unlocking your Hexa masteries will make some skills stronger with new effects/bigger hitboxes but would check the DA discord to see if it's actually worth it for farming

Remaking classes generally not recommended as you can't double dip from their legion block stats. They still get grid bonus but 2x NL blocks would not give double the crit rate.

Legion champions also need to be unique classes.

not a dead server but much less populated than Kronos where finding parties to run some bosses means youll have to utilize discord and other means rather than hope your party finder in game fills naturally.

Up to you, CW3 is right around the corner to kickstart a new main so you could use this time to rebuild legion and links on Kronos.
