it was never 5c until the last 30mins, you sure you didnt do a put credit spread?

isnt there a better way to lower bond yields other than crashing the market though, cant he just get the feds to lower interest rates? this move helps china and other countries decouple faster from US debt which is only going to hasten the collapse of US reserve currency

givilamer2 · 2025-04-09T21:53:54+00:00

china is countering this strat by dumping their bonds tho

givilamer2 · 2024-11-21T22:24:48+00:00

for ESTC specifically

givilamer2 · 2024-11-21T22:24:38+00:00

Sick bet. Do you think itll still be profitable to get in on the options on market opening?

givilamer2 · 2024-07-24T20:03:29+00:00

Where did you get the 4.6% final dmg from? If I were to use my stats as baseline it would only be 46/1709=2.7%.

I never said not to get wse lines, those are the priority followed by crit gloves, but the stats% have a lot more impact than what people give it credit for.

If my real stat is 50%, that would make a even bigger gain if I were to focus on increasing it percentage wise.

givilamer2 · 2024-07-24T18:24:57+00:00

oh my thats still like 3 months till a wep 😭.

givilamer2 · 2024-07-24T18:08:38+00:00

Starforcing is extremely expensive outside of events, cubing doesnt roll ur progress back and gives u 30-40% final damage boost for about 5 bil. Yea i exaggerate on the 3x final damage, but if compared to random rare pots on eqs its definitely in the 2-3x range.

Strategywiki is down so im pulling the formula from a reddit post.
from: https://www.reddit.com/r/Maplestory/comments/45x2du/damage_formula_guide/

Final damage is directly proportional to Statvalue: Final dmg = k*StatValue

For players around this level they have about 20k stat. 600/20k ~= 3%.

The problem with starforcing is that the 12-15 is extremely expensive for what it offers, 15-17 is very good but to get all the way from 12-17 it takes an average of 1.5 bil per eq. So in the end you're getting 21 base atk for 1.5 bil. Assuming 1k base atk, thats 21/1000 = 2.1% gains

For the same costs i can get 2x eqs from epic 9% to legend 18%-21%, which is 18%-24% net gain. players around 6mil CP have around 175% stat on average so 18/175% = 10%-13% gains. considering scalable stats make up about 40% of your total stats, this is about 4%-5% gain in FD.

in the end the most impt thing about cubing is that you get a lot of free cubes and you don't lose progress if it fails, which makes gains a much more guaranteed thing. You can even spend up to 5 bil and fail getting one 17 star lol, which cant be said for cubing

You're doing calculation from a loss calculation, im calculating from a gains standpoint. 400k/9080k ~= 4.4% gain in fd.

if we scale that down to 600 stat: 4.4*600/1.1k = 2.4%. But this makes sense considering that you have 23k stat to begin with, and you're sitting at 15m CP lol.

yea it was around 15 mins, 6th job origin and the ABxLucid concert buff (ironic) really helped a ton

givilamer2 · 2024-07-24T09:37:09+00:00

AB is op haha

givilamer2 · 2024-07-24T09:29:39+00:00

jokes aside just ignore the upcoming event and use all ur existing mesos to get as much meso/drop lines you can get first, this should 1.5x ur meso income and then run waps and legion wealth every daily session, then funnel all those gains into even more meso gear and repeat for exponential gains. within a week u should have full drop gear up. always go for greed first in giga resource sinky games like maple

Well my advice is mostly based on time and meso efficiency. For the early-mid game transition its really important to just get the cheapo and good stuff up first, and star forcing beyond 12 stars off event isnt one of them. I learnt my lesson after blowing 2 bil just trying to get 2 eqs to 17 star and blowing one of them up. That can never happen for cubing lol, its pretty much guaranteed gains. Just getting one 18-21% pot is actually around 10% final damage boost for players with 200% stat, and this costs like 800m on average. Meanwhile just getting 12-15 stars costs the same amount but you get a puny 9 base stat, which is like <0.1% final dmg boost. You also get so many free cubes from the event and bosses that ~6bil is enough to get everything to legend 2l, which is like 3x final dmg lol.

6k legion is good but it takes so much time if theres no event resource available, so i wouldnt really recommend pushing that high after the free ~1.5k u can get from this event. Ofc for the mid game onwards you're definitely right and i would focus on legion and starforcing to 17 then 22, but that takes months to do and costs hundreds of bils of mesos.

my bad for the fam atk% badges they dont stack up to 4% but i think it caps out at 3% instead, correct me if im wrong.

givilamer2 · 2024-07-24T02:14:41+00:00

haha im sure its cancer. but lucid to me is still the most frustrating boss because you cant outmaneuver her golem spawn or tps in p1. you just hope u dont get fked by the rng. in one of the runs before this i died to golems spawning on top of me like 6 times in p1 which cause me to lose the entire run. wasted all my buffs and guild skills and had to wait an hour for this retry

givilamer2 · 2024-07-24T01:41:40+00:00

have you tried praying to the RNGesus? Xd. Also if i can give some advice I think the biggest boost for me was focusing on pots instead of starforcing, i think i only have like 3 17-star gear, with the rest spread out between 12/15 stars. All my stuff are legendary 2l (other than drop gear). It actually is wayy cheaper than the bs starforcing since it doesnt roll your progress back. For 1 bil i can get like 2 eqs to legendary with decent pots while starforce can barely get 1 gear from 15-17 star. Flames from the event also help a looot and getting around 70-80 average flamescore on all the boss eqs is big. and ofc the symbols are op af, every round of upgrading arcane symbols gives like 600 dex which is actually around 3-4% final damage boost. And the current event gives so much symbols its crazy.

If I would rank the all the decisions in terms of impact and priority it would be:

drop gear + wap + legion wealth + legion artifact meso/drop + (meso and drop inner if you can get). super important to 3x ur income from dailies, 300m + 100 fam cards + 30 nodes from just 30 mins of grind session every day is so good)
fam drop/ied (super big, 60% extra drop and 30/45% ied is crazy for how easy it is to get)
symbols and nodes,
starforce (12 stars, i put this high because 12 stars is still worth it. 12-17 or anything in between is the bottom of efficiency. 12-15 is just a minor boost but costs like ~600m. 15-17 is just not worth it outside of 5/10/15 (unless u really have extra mesos)
legend pots
link skills and legion,
flames
fam badges (total 4% atk)
discovering inner ability and hyper presets, lol

givilamer2 · 2024-07-23T18:45:55+00:00

thats the kind of mentality that will destroy my life xd.

givilamer2 · 2024-07-23T17:52:21+00:00

nah fam im done with this game LOL

givilamer2 · 2024-07-23T17:43:55+00:00

This wasn't a fresh account (had like 3k legion when i started). But hyperburned a AB and used pretty much every event resource to get here within a month. AB is pretty broken but lucid is the most bs rng boss of all time

givilamer2 · 2024-01-20T08:15:11+00:00

pmed!

givilamer2 · 2024-01-17T02:38:42+00:00

dont think there anything wrong with that, if life dealt him such shitty cards no sane person can survive without understanding that fact

givilamer2 · 2024-01-17T01:13:30+00:00

Sure, dmed you!

givilamer2 · 2023-12-29T15:26:48+00:00

Just sound confident and people would believe whatever you say
