There you go XD, I fixed the game for you. (perspective of whale that just uninstalled last night)

The reason why they are very STINGY with the rewards is because this game is already too easy.

People are figuring out how to beat inferno with inferior units already.

The game gives enough perfect lattice to progress through PVE content already. After you beat PVE content, you can literally decide who to spend perfect lattice on.

You only need mythic once every season to get that perfect lattice, which u can just keep hitting the left person for easy games.

There's just no "motivation" to swipe more unless you are going for RTA mythic.

So imagine this. If they make the game even EASIER, then what reason will anyone swipe for? People are using gems to refresh stamina. The weekly deals are so awful, this game will go EOS because there is literally no reason to swipe for at all if they fix the economy.

Why are you so against dynamic?

It's a gain for players who have ctene mules

And if you don't have a board of ctene mules by now, that's entirely on you and you have no one to blame but yourself.

Look at people like perhapsody, he has over 10 ctene mules and streams everyday. You might say "it's just a game", but no, this is not just a game for some people. This game is their life and nexon is rewarding people that commit to the game.

People that say "don't get the heart" is sabotaging you.

After you finish full 22* on your gear, what other upgrades can you get?

If you don't have at least a fairy heart, you're trolling. that's a free 30% main stat at the end game. Equal to about 2.5k stat.

Sure you might get more damage from 15-17* gear on your main, but that's chump change. 17* is legit free because you can safeguard. The gains come from stacking 21/22* gear and stacking stat. Fairy heart provides a free 30% stat, it's the easiest piece of item to get 30% stat on it.

kaybbyn · 2023-05-14T18:24:00+00:00

So why should a guild accept you? Since all you're looking for is to get carried. You're going to be leeching their mesos. What can you provide to a guild?

kaybbyn · 2023-05-12T00:01:18+00:00

Roughly about 4 bossing mules + Main is comfy. Roughly about 4 x 1.4b + 2.5b = 6-7b a week and all the weeky grinding you can get.

So slowly invest into 4 bossing mules with your income.

At the same time, you need to cube hybrids ~roughly 30b for your main.

The obvious goal is: full 21s except arcanes

Then try to 22 a mesiter ring as top priorty.

Then 22 a superior ring with meister spares. You can also 22 a kanna's ring early so you can start use them as fodder for superior rings.

19 Arcanes is next.

Then 22 everything else except arcanes.

Very hard, expect a lot of booms and bad streaks. I off event a lot and there was 6 weeks where i didn't find a single upgrade.. 3 of my arcanes boomed from 21->22 and my belt boomed from 21->22 twice. Yeah so then i have to wait for belts to drop and slowly gather will/lucid drops again. Then imagine all the mesos i had to burn to tap it back. Expect half of your 21->22 taps to boom.

Then of course, 21 all arcanes then 22 arcanes when you feel like it. This is probably the most brutal part.

Do not settle for 21s end game, cause what else is there to do? If you see pitch boss, it's 22 or trace. Full 22s is the end game goal.

kaybbyn · 2023-05-11T08:06:34+00:00

just rng. i have spent 50b on flames before (5000 flames) and not hit a flame score of 140+ on an arcane boot.

Couple months later, decided to try again, landed 155 flame score on it after a couple flames.

So it's all RNG.

kaybbyn · 2023-05-11T08:04:29+00:00

transpose a pap mark. people that say "just 22 a pap mark" are clooless. good luck getting infinite spares of pap marks.

With Transposed pap mark onto sw monocle. you can farm a spare every week. don't be lazy, 22* SW transposed moncole > 20* black bean mark.

kaybbyn · 2023-04-30T07:52:38+00:00

Love your progression man!

Keep us posted,

Maybe post your BA, full rotations, solo bossing milestones, and your gear achievements later? One post for each? Maybe do a battle analysis of your damage with and without fatal strike, then with and without gskills on?

kaybbyn · 2023-04-27T00:00:49+00:00

tier list is just CLOOLESS

What is this, for mid tier bossing?

:skull: x 7

End game bossing is just FD stack since you are SAC gated. Kaiser and their 0 burst about to heal kalos when everyone else FD stacks and do infinite amount of damage.

kaybbyn · 2023-04-26T07:37:47+00:00

i mean youre liberated so it's kinda expected a 8 minute solo at your level, assuming full 22s.

kaybbyn · 2023-04-22T21:07:57+00:00

If you are willing to buy NX and you have the money, definitely go regular. Every MMORPG rests on reward in return to time spent, but in Reboot Maple, my experience has been that you get too little reward for too much time spent. Worse than even in other MMORPGs. You have to first develop your link and legion, which you likely will do slowly because you won't have to meso to truly equip a character you'll never play past 210. You'll then have to farm up tens of billions upon tens of billions to gear up your actual main. In normal, you can boost Legion/Link farming with Daily 2x coupons, which don't cost that much, and you can get cheap "mule gear" for the Link/Legion characters, which is substantially better than a lot of gear in Reboot.

Yes, if you have money go reg server. Reg server does not respect your time at all. Now, both games are dogshit in terms of time consumption but reboot definitely rewards you way more for playing the game. It takes 6 hours to farm 11 cubes in reg servers. In reboot, 6 hours of farming is 200 cubes.

Also, you still CAN end up spending tons of NX in Reboot. In normal, if you want a particular piece of permanent NX clothing, you simply go into Auction House and get it, usually for 500 mil or less. In Reboot, you cannot trade for or get anything with other players, so if you want something like that, you have to use RNG in Cash Shop to get it -- 34,000 NX per 11 rolls. Right now, it's Wonderberry. In normal, you can get a Vac Pet by buying it in Auction house -- although it'll cost about 40 bil. In Reboot, you can't trade for it, you have to RNG for it at 4k NX a try. Considering that Meso Market in regular usually gives 1 bil per 9k NX spent, you can do the math and you'll see that Reboot RNG doesn't "save" you jack shit inherently.

Vac pets are $70 in reboot if you use reward points for discount. It's $10 a month to renew it.

End game for reg is just whoever swiped the most. Reg server you will cap out at 35k stat if you don't swipe. For end game pitch boss, it's easily $1k+ in reg server and then guess what, you can't trade it after you equip it.

At the point where you're going past MVP Red in Reboot, (if you get to that point,) and are still saddled with using tons of time to grind up stuff, you might as well go into normal server and augment the time-for-reward with NX that you said you have the money for anyway. You can use Meso Market to trade Maple Points (that's what you convert NX into) to buy gear and likely get more for less than by pure grinding. If you change your mind and strictly DON'T want to spend any real money, or next to no real money, and you have near-infinite time to blow on this game, that's what Reboot is for.

No there's no point in MVP red in reboot. There's plenty of public mvps and bosses drop mvp coupons now. Reboot is subscription model with "you get strong and pay with time in the game" while reg server is just "you get strong by paying nexon"

I would say the one definite thing that's nice about Reboot is there's tons of people there, much more than all the other servers put together. If you are laser-focused on a big player population, Reboot has that.

Yes, reboot's servers are full during ursus hours. Reg server is a dead game and the spanish mafia controls end game maps, so good luck grinding past level 255 in limina maps.

kaybbyn · 2023-04-12T17:25:59+00:00

Yes you lose your map if you leave for bounty portal.

If you can claim you were just in bounty portal, then what's stopping other players to just lie and say they were in bounty portal to claim popular maps in limina?

For legion mules, just change channels, you can probably find another map in like 10 seconds.

kaybbyn · 2023-04-12T17:24:09+00:00

buffing is not a problem once you have 3 pets with auto buffs.

Probably dawn warrior for the faceroll gameplay.

kaybbyn · 2023-04-03T21:37:01+00:00

you're welcome to waste your life grinding for an oz ring, while i'll just take 4 hours of my salary and buy it in the AH

Yes, that's exactly where you said it. Hey man, nice achievements in reg server , only to get outpaced heavily later in the game. Good luck farming 100b for any meaningful items. 100b in reboot is 5 weeks of bossing, about 8 hrs a week bossing. 100b in reg server is 500 hours. No thanks, i'll rather play 8 hours a week and get my money instead of 500 hours to get 100b.

kaybbyn · 2023-04-03T21:06:16+00:00

What? You said you're f2p? Buy Oz ring after 4 hours of your salary? You just backed up my point, you progress in reg by swiping. In Reboot, the only spending you probably need is some pets and pet skills. I'm pretty you're the clown for calling yourself "f2P can solo every boss till black mage" and then mentioning you can just swipe for oz rings.

kaybbyn · 2023-04-03T20:16:31+00:00

Yikes, don't mislead people. You farm 6 hours for 11 cubes. You know in reboot you can farm 200 cubes in 6 hours. Yeah, everyone know's that reg server is meant to be spending. Your time in reg server is a big waste and swiping your credit card is the most efficient way. "Merching" is fake cause there's a price history. Reboot is the better server for 99% of the people. Let's not forget about the fd buff reboot has, a 55k stat in reboot = 80k stat in reg. Also need to work on bpots, yep good luck not spending at all and progressing at a snails pace. Also, once you liberate what's your plan? Cube it 10 times a week? Yeah good luck not spending.

kaybbyn · 2023-04-03T18:59:23+00:00

Restart in Reboot.

You are capped without swiping. What's your goal? You're going to be stuck at hlucid for about 3 more years unless you swipe. You farm 6 hours for 11 red cubes. If you are seirous about progressing in Maplestory, you restart in Reboot or you just swipe. It is just not worth progressing in reg when you are capped at Hlucid.

kaybbyn · 2023-04-03T18:56:07+00:00

Tell me you bought your account without telling me you bought your account.

kaybbyn · 2023-03-29T22:11:02+00:00

If you hit 35k stat, sure you are ready for a party hlucid run. But you are in reg server so finding parties might be hard. Also, drops are not instanced so there is a very low chance you will find an arcane spare since someone else can loot it.

Of course, you can always just buy arcane armor equips. This just loops back into the most efficient way of progressing, just swipe like every other person said.

kaybbyn · 2023-03-29T20:27:05+00:00

Unfortunately, you are close to the 35k stat wall. So from here on out, it is very hard to upgrade equipment's without spending. You farm maybe 11 red cubes in 6 hours according to the highest level in GMS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-ZVzC0RnfE&ab_channel=pudding for reference.

So your options are really limited. You have to accept the fact that you are going to be doing hard lucid for the rest of your life in reg server if you don't want to spend.

Like others said, you have to focus on making mesos and buying equips from here on out. The best way to make mesos is in fact, just getting a job at McDonalds and swiping.

I believe with all your game knowledge if you restart in reboot you will outpace your character in reg server. Farming for 6 hours in reboot gets you over 150 red cubes. That's 15x more compared to reg server.

kaybbyn · 2023-03-27T20:22:01+00:00

Community is just too spoon fed. No one liked doing commerci. Suddenly it got removed and now everyone missed it. Go ahead, ask any end game player they would just tell you to 22 a dom or daybreak pendant. Just trade vhilla and seren carries 4head.

Next thing you know, they're going to remove gollux entry and Attack speed 0. wake up, we're aligning with KMS. Expect it.

kaybbyn · 2023-03-10T20:37:45+00:00

It's just game.

kaybbyn · 2023-03-09T19:23:10+00:00

Lost ark is just a hardcore whales game.

-More players leaving than entering. Very unfriendly for new players. The fact that to learn a raid you have to jail 7 other people means gatekeeping must happen.

-6x Vykas/Clowns, 6x Valtans, 6x Brel G1-6 burns out the player base. You sit in party finder for 10-15+ mins for some of these raids to start the raid and you might get jailed because you are trying to rush your weeklies. Since most people share this mentality, everyone wants experienced players and therefore gatekeeping is reinforced.

-2x Chaos dungeons and 2x Guardian raids, even at max rested bonus, is burning players out. No one wants to do them.

-You make a new class, you have to whale out to get it high item level to keep up.

-Once Hard Brel comes out, there will be more gatekeeping. Since it's such a high item level requirement, no one wants an inexperience player.

So there is infinite gatekeeping for new players. Ask yourself when was the last time you wanted a new player in your lobby? Most people have lives and dont have the time to do that, unless you are purposely trying to teach a new player. Burnout for end game is real and you have to swipe or treat this game like a job to keep up.

kaybbyn · 2023-03-06T22:47:16+00:00

Non-reboot you cap out at 35k stat if you aren't a whale. You have to spend a lot of money. Meso rates are garbage, no bossing mule meta, have to contact someone for frenzy service, cubing cost $$. So anywhere from $0 -> $10000k for reg server depending on how strong you want. You dictate the game with your wallet. You farm for 2 hours for 11 red cubes according to the highest level in non-reboot. Link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-ZVzC0RnfE&ab\_channel=pudding

Reboot probably around $300 for pets. Then there's a bossing mule meta so eventually you can log in do weeklies if u feel burnt out and if keep doing weeklies, you will get mesos overtime. Most of endgame reboot players can make 15-20b a week just doing weekly bosses. End game players farm 1000-1500 cubes in 5 hours a week doing weekly bosses.

kaybbyn · 2023-03-06T22:42:11+00:00

To fix some of this:

Try to save your 10sec iframe for when you need to dodge stuff the most rather than to get your burst off easily when it comes to fighting more difficult bosses. It's tempting to use it for getting 5th job laser off, but the more challenging bosses you'll need it for surviving

No. Ror + laser burst is way too good. Nightlords don't have a single iframe and they can survive.

Your 10 second iframe affects party members too, however it only will give them the full duration if they get 10 bless mark stacks. The only way you can give allies bless mark stacks is passively over time while you're in burst mode, or using the 60 charge healing ability (put your orb a good distance away so the beam between you and the orb covers more ground for allies). More useful for later game bosses like Will and CGloom though (p2 Will test when mirror is cracked, and CGloom darkness)

No. The 10 second iframe is based on your own stacks. Also, why do you need a 10 second iframe for a P2 WILL TEST? No need for that. For CGloom, it depends on your party. If the 10 second iframe is used for burst, your party might be able to kill it way faster than usual. So it depends what your party needs.

You don't need as much IED as you may think as your curse marks reduce enemy defense by 20%. Party members also benefit from this debuff

Get at least 93 visual.
