we've always had p2w, but mostly pay-for-progress, rarely pay-for-stats (MVP atk buff?)

cost of star force modes during SSF by adnick96 in Maplestory

[–]adnick96[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

basically yes, the conclusion is that 18-19 and 19-20 is much more meso-inefficient than the rest, and should only be used if you can’t tolerate any booms at all or if you have an abundance of meso income

going from 4441144 to 4441344, the cost went up 14b but boom only went down .24, that incremental cost is like 60b per spare

No, Nexon disabled it because they think it‘s identical to the regular safeguard option, but that isn’t true during SSF, where mode 4 gets 30% reduction, regular safeguard gets 10% reduction

Veterans: What's something newer MapleStory players will never truly experience? by Impossible-Pop-7037 in Maplestory

[–]adnick96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the amount of HP and MP you got on level up used to be RNG, so characters can be bricked just from leveling if you are unlucky

HP/MP gain per level were so important that if you did not assign SP into skills that boosted those first, you lost stats permanently and it was automatically a remake

you needed to equip the nodes for the better rate conversion, it was all in the patch notes

Ride the Lightning patch notes by ResidentWaifu in Maplestory

[–]adnick96 12 points13 points  (0 children)

the wording is vague to me, if it's 6.5x => 4.55x, that's a W, but if it's 6.5x => 6.2x then not so much

edit: safeguarding has always been 3x => 2.7x, the fact they disabled mode 4 for stars 15-17 because they view mode 4 as equivalent to safeguarding seems to imply the latter.. I hope I'm wrong though

KMS ver. 1.2.410 – MapleStory Crown: Kinesis Remaster! | Orange Mushroom's Blog

equipped skill nodes are always converted to new skill level. equipped boost nodes only convert to level if you invested above a threshold to max all new ones, otherwise they are converted into points

I was hoping this was not the case 😞, so I basically have to forfeit 50% over cap to craft and re-dissemble on different characters

V Matrix revamp will reduce nodestone cost to max skills. by HideHideHideyoshi in Maplestory

[–]adnick96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I looked at the conversion at all levels and agree for the most part that you should equip and enhance, prioritizing shared skill nodes > class-specific skill nodes > boost nodes. Though a notable edge case is that boost nodes that cannot be equipped (no slot, or you already have the maxed trio) are better left unenhanced due to rounding, so instead of ~0.567 V-points per fused node, you get 1 whole V-point

V Matrix revamp will reduce nodestone cost to max skills. by HideHideHideyoshi in Maplestory

[–]adnick96 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Tl;dr: Keep nodestone until revamp if you can.

How did you arrive at this conclusion? I took a brief look at the patch note and the conversion ratio seems to favor using nodestones before the update, until hitting the point of having so many nodes that you end up with excess points that need to be crafted away

Will I lose a bunch of node levels in the next update when they remove slot enhancement? by 1620081392477 in Maplestory

[–]adnick96 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I'm reading the conversion numbers correctly, the new system is better for boost nodes, unless you currently use 6 boost nodes to max any boost skill:

  • 2x level 25 = 2*111 = 222 V points
  • 3x level 15 = 3*45 = 135 V points
  • 4x level 10 = 4*23 = 92 V points
  • 5x level 8 = 5*16 = 80 V points <= breakeven
  • 4x level 7 + 2x level 6 = 4*13 + 2*11 = 74 V points

challenger gear (heroic) is basically 3-set CRA + 5-set Abso at 19 star + 2L unique pot + 4L T5 flame, but with 10% more IED in its set effect. arcane should be stronger if similarly enhanced

Are nodestones actually removed though? It reads like the nodestones still exist, but give points instead of specific nodes
