A funny yet stupid thing I read

I was reading some of the bowman guides on Hidden Street’s site to get a general idea of where I should be hunting and what items i should be using at my level (73). If anyone read my last post about returning and being hacked, you will know that I probably lack the money and items that i used to have. But the point of this entry I was reading a guide and I will withheld the user’s name but they mentioned some items I should have in Ranger-hood from level 70-120. Here’s the list: read more

Hackers Hackers and more Hackers

Hackers. Seems to be a hot topic these days. People ranting and complaining about hackers disrupting the game and other who complain about the GM’s not doing their job. Of course these days with the increase of hackers running around and a lot of people running into them frequently makes some people wonder if these so called GM’s are doing their job at all. read more

High Level Players and their Boredom

Here’s another funny yet annoying thing that occured when training out at coolies a couple days back. Let me set the scene for you.

Me and a couple of my fellow guild members are there helping me train to level up for lv 64. There was a lv 76 Chief Bandit, lv 80 Priest, lv 63 Cleric, lv 79 Priest and lv 69 I/L wizard. Both Priests are using lv 20+ Holy Symbols to reduce training time so we were there for a good couple of hours and of course like everyone else who’s there you’ll encounter people trying to find a channel. So eventuall these 2 sins lv 89 and 84 come in from the same guild and decide to start killing everything we were. So the lv 69 wizard says “cc”, well in light of the previous blogs of make up responses for what cc will mean they respond with “W don’t give out Credi cards” Bear in mind these two clearly have ilbi’s and are using shadow partner and literally tearing at everything faster than we can. read more

Questions on 3rd Job Test

Well I’m only lv 64 now but a Crossbowman in my guild just got to her 3rd job and stated it was hard. Now this peaks some questions that I want to know myself.

Now I’m sure killing Athena is no easy task but I want to know whether I got what it takes to take her out without getting my rear cooked. Here’s how my Stats will look like when I reach lv 70, unless something changes between now and then: read more

Lv 60 and the Road ahead.

Well now that I’m level 60 I’ve been cursed with a bumpy road ahead to lv 70. Reason?

I would get an Asianic to create a better killing efficiency but it seems due to some complications (Not having 15-25 mil to spend) I cannot get this bow. Yeah I know i should hunt the bow and scroll it. As stated in one of my previous blogs I had 3 other high level guild members help me for 3 hours straight udring double drop time. Nothing. So I came up with a possible substitute for the Asianic, i had 7 10% scrolls sitting in my inventory and decide to scroll my 60 atk Maple Soul Searcher. Well as it turns out I used all 7 scrolls….and the bow is now 60 Atk, then i go and try to scroll my Blue Tai wit 10%’s thinking at least 2 or 3 would work. Wrong again. Only 1 worked out 10. read more

The pathetic state of Maple Story

After being on the last few days training at Dark Yeti for hours attempting to hunt an Asianic bow i’ve come to the conclusion that even me, a lvl 74 Chief Bandit, lv 77 Priest and 65 Crossbowman can’t even hunt this stupid item. And the worst part about this is the the arseholes who have jacked up the prices to 7-9 mil for a clean average one. This is pathetic. I can’t beleive how many selfish greedy people are out overpricing every item and causing such a bad inflation of every item sold.
I’m sick of this bull that i have to go though everytime just to get a better bow to kill more effectively. When I was lv 45 Olympus’ were 4-7 mil. Now I’m at the Asianic Era and they’re 7-10 mil. Its becoming insane. I’ cant even afford a new bow and I can’t hunt it either. I’m about ready to just give up this game cause it’s such a headache. read more

Level 60 an unsure what to do

Well i finally reached lv 60 on my hunter on Bera server. But i’m stuck on either to buy a Asianic scrolled or hunt for one… I only have 11 mil and at the current inflated prices I can’t affor a very good one so to speak. If anyone reading this blog is nice enough to sell me one that’s decent like 85-90 atk for about 9-10 mil i will be forever grateful. read more

Asianic Scroll Theory: Stupid or Smart?

This thought i’ve been having has been stuck in my mind since level 50. I know I’m going to reach lv 60 soon and I know I will need a Asianic Bow cause my current Olympus isn’t particularily strong (Stats: 75 Atk, Acc+2,0 slots) but I have managed to keep my damage range up witha 6 atk work glove and warrior pills from Ludi bringing my total attack to 86. But over the course of leveling up from 50-59 where I stand now I came up with a theory of how I’m going to scroll my Asianic, assuming I get one. My fellow guild members have suggested to stick with 60% scrolls cause there is a greater change of them working therefore may also allow me to have a decently strong bow. But on the other hand I thought what if I used straight 10%. I brought up that by using 60% scrolls yes i can have more scroll working but with the lack of attack it can increase, at least with 10% i can probably get 1-3 working. One 10% scroll is as effective as 2 60% and 1 100%, 60% scrolls for bows are kinda expensive these days which is why I decided to stick to my 10% theory. Here’s how i worked out the math: read more
