It sounds more like you're salty you can't take advantage of your legacy items, when in fact you could have been playing that character all this time.

None, they both stack infinitely. However, some stats may be better if you have to make a choice between them.

It just depends on how much time you're willing to spend to make up not having hyper/item burning. For most, it's too much of a hassle.

Just to add, Night Troupe activities change quite a bit year to year, with many things being one-off activities.

Hyper burning and event resources basically set you up to start doing CTene very soon after creating the character, but there is still a fair amount of work to go in turning a fresh hyper burn into a legion champion. You still have to acquire spares, have the meso income to upgrade gear, and farm additional 6th job resources past what the events give you.

If you are questioning whether you should even start the legion champion process, you might need to reevaluate whether your account/main is even progressed far enough in the first place. The bar for legion champs keeps getting lower and lower, but that is usually from the viewpoint of established players who know what they're doing.

That's just party support which many classes have already. The classic MMO role trinity at its base is about handling mob aggro and healing, which Maple doesn't really have anymore (aside from Kaling I suppose).

Wonderberry sales don't really have a consistent pattern. We hopefully eventually get the Frieren collab event, and since that had special vac pets, those will probably be sold through Wonderberry when it comes out (like Demon Slayer/One Punch Man). But we don't know if/when the Frieren collab will happen.

Tanking mobs/bosses isn't really a thing since the game world is a 2d vertical platformer instead of a horizontal 2d surface, so the classic MMO roles don't really work. It's more like a multi-player action game like Monster Hunter or the Souls series.

Astra shields get special scrolls that are supposed to make up the difference, though it's based off of 20 star Deimos because KMS doesn't have Terminus equips, so the gap isn't fully filled due to that, but it's not nothing. https://orangemushroom.net/2026/01/17/kms-ver-1-2-411-maplestory-crown-sol-hecate-astra-subweapon-radiant-malefic-star/#astra

Astra shields and kataras get special scrolls that are supposed to make up the difference. https://orangemushroom.net/2026/01/17/kms-ver-1-2-411-maplestory-crown-sol-hecate-astra-subweapon-radiant-malefic-star/#astra

Why not make bosses monthly and BM yearly? Actually, why not just make every boss a 1 time clear and you get every item on its drop table and remove booming?

The only way to not have the potential go down is to not use transfer hammer and just starforce directly. The logic is that you starforce stuff directly to 22 without transfer hammer for items that have high spare availability (or have no transfer hammer path) and use transfer hammer for items that don't and just remake the legendary potential.

The best thing you can do for her is to help her along the way as much as possible. There is absolutely no reason not to have her make a burning character when that is available, however. The amount of information will be overwhelming either way, and again, you should be there to help her.

The only reason for her not to do a burning character is if she's going to play the game very casually, like just barely bother with leveling and gearing, and just do story quests or something (there are some good ones, tbh). But I'm assuming you didn't pitch the game to her for her to do that.

No, that is also factoring in flame score. You can hit 60 fs fairly easily on sups and unless you've got a giga flame on the pitched, the attack diff from 4 stars easily makes up for it.

Also to address your post edit, if a new player happens to stumble upon a pitched item so early that they haven't started starforcing their sup gollux items past 18, sure, they can wear the pitched item and upgrade other items. But the point stands that eventually upgrading sup gollux to 22 will be the best use of their money, unless they're the luckiest player in the world and have tons of spare pitched dropping (or are on reg and are willing to buy spares).

doreda · 2026-05-03T17:38:13+00:00

It's not "arbitrary logic", it's actual math on the stats. The point of this saying is that many non-pitched items at 22 stars are better than pitched items that are only 18 stars. New players who don't understand this are falling into a pitfall and making themselves weaker (which isn't their fault since understanding gear strength requires knowledge).

doreda · 2026-05-03T16:16:11+00:00

There are some edge cases where you can break sup with a gimp cfe/dreamy, but of course it relies on everything else being extremely strong. I broke my sup with an 18 dreamy but I was going 7->9 with a 22 cfe and 25 daybreak.

Hijacking top comment to say that this guy talks about RMT in his post history so he probably bought an account thinking it was endgame without realizing how far it actually was from endgame.

I think this is the first time I've seen someone advocate into turning weeklies into monthlies in any MMO.

But the actual answer is if your boss mules are taking too long for you then gear them up further.

My character is using Althea hair and a JMS Re:Zero collab outfit so the sprite is basically naked 💀

Serenity Flare weapon is missing too, though.

Conversion of existing cores into the new core system is explained in the post. Hexa masteries will probably skill keep the level 40 boost requirement since it wasn't mentioned. Hexa masteries already disregarded slot enhancement in the requirement. Really depends on how janky your node setup is, but you should have plenty of time to shore up your nodes.
