So I wanted to inform the MS population on how much time you spend in theory. with the elite power of Pre-Algebra.
So lets take an average mapler: Level 32 Warrior. He, Lets call him Bob, Is poor, and Fights Green mushrooms without skills.
Say he needs 100,000 Exp to level. (Actually more in-game. Im rounding down.)
Each Green Mushroom is 25 exp. (Right? I havent played MS for a while, correct me if Im wrong.)
Thats about 0.02 a kill. Right?
It takes him 5 seconds to travel from monster to monster.
So thats:
0.02 a kill, 5 mushrooms for 0.10%.
5 mushrooms with 5 seconds in between each mushroom kill:
Thats 25 seconds to gain 0.10%.
Now take that x10 to get 1%.
25×10=250 seconds. 250 seconds is 4.166666666666666666667 minutes, Lets say thats 4 minutes for the case of simplicity.
So so far we have 4 minutes for 1%, 40 minutes for 10%.
40 minutes for 10%, 400 minutes for a level.
And thats 6 and a half hours to get 1 level. (6.6666666666666666666667)
Now, thats if you are a legit Warrior.
So lets understand how long it takes a botting hacker, to level in those same circumstances.
So, in order to make this more easy to read, lets alter the variable of time, no 5 second break between kills. Lets say he uses the distance hack.
So 1 hit to kill a monster, and you attack once every 2 seconds.
0.02% a kill, 2 seconds between kills.
5 Green mushrooms to gain 0.10%.
2×5=10. 10 Seconds to gain 0.10%.
100 seconds to gain 1%.
Thats a minute and 40 seconds.
Lets say 1:40 minutes is the number 100. (Again, for the case of simplicity.)
100x 10= 1000 seconds.
1000 seconds is just about 30 minutes to gain 10%. Just a 10 minute difference with modern hacks. (Oh em gee children. Hacking isn’t very much easierrr. :O)
30 minutes to gain 10% is 3000 minutes to gain a level.
Thats 3000/60= 5 hours.
So thats:
5 hours if you hack.
6 hours if you train legit.
So basically, hacking is a slightly shorter way of training without you physically being there.
A long time either way with training on a OHKO monster that gives decent exp.
Say that the Average person plays an hour a day, thats 6 days to level once if ALL they do is grinding.
The mild Mapler plays 3 hours NON STOP. Thats 3 days in theory.
The average mapler gets to 25 in a day, and 50 in 2 or 3 weeks.
But then I think, 6 hours for one level. Thats alot. How do those people on basilmarket get to 40 in a week? D:
Disclaimer: These calculations are basic, and havent been tested fighting. They may be wrong, and all they use is basic Pre-Algebra. This is for my fun, and to try to expose leveling as a mapler.
Hackers train a lot faster than you think, because they combine godmode, autoloot and the distance hack while using slash blast. Thats how “speasr” got to level 31 overnight (from level 1).
The average mapler also uses skills you know. At level 26, with my uber low dex, 8 ATK glove and maxed PS I constantly OHKOed green and horny mush, getting exp extremely quickly.
You don’t get to 40 in 7 days or less unless you:
1. Hack
2. Play 50+ hours that week
3. Lots of 2x exp
4. Massive Funding and great equips
Anyway, what I think is a level 32 legit warrior can level once from 0% to 100% in about 2-3 hours using skills.
A hacker can level in 20 minutes or so.
I actually expressed earlier that the character uses average attack because he is poor.
And yeah, im quite sure that 2-3 hours is for something thats a higher level.
Im showing the scenario that he is training on something that he is consistant in his OHKO’s and gives about 0.o2 exp. In this blog, im saying that he doesn’t have low dex, no glove, and doesn’t use PS.
But thanks for the feedback.
Too. Much. Math. My brain hurts. >_> But yeah, That looks about right. Damn son. You got some mad skillz with math. O_O
Unfortunatly, I don’t believe that a level 32 warrior could train without skills. In these days, people just aren’t that poor. I can buy that they haven’t scrolled there weapons and have a clean glove etc. etc. but not even using PS means utter poverty. These days, 3X characters starting unfunded usually already have at least 1 M mesos.
Well, slash blast + cseax or whatever, = monsters are killed as soon as they spawn.
So a hacker levels as fast as the spawn, while the legit does it at the rate of 40 mins per 10% like you said.
Hrhm, you do have a point, My hunter got 2 million from scratch.
PS is 12 MP per. That’s like, 24 mesos.
In 10 seconds you’ll PS twice, if we use your example. 24 MP. You regain 3, so 21.
42 mesos in 10 seconds -> 252 mesos per minute -> about 15k spent in an hour.
But, let’s assume each mushroom drops 30 mesos.
60 mesos in 10 seconds -> 360 mesos per minute -> about 22k gained in an hour.
I think you can get by earning 7k an hour at level 32. Especially since that doesn’t count drops.
But you rounded a lot of stuff, it’s more then 100k exp.
And 40 seconds can change your life. XD

And 40 seconds can change your life. XD
~~~~Pirkid~~~~”
I stated that.
I. Hate. Math.
But you have some good points, so I’ll try to ignore all that n_n
I agree with your ponits, but I’m afraid your wrong.
Let me correct you, meaning no offense whatsoever;
A hacker would level faster, because as your example
An average mapler warrior:
25exp, in 100,000exp. that’s 100,000/25. they would need to kill 4000 green mush. But, they problem is, the time to use re pot. So, an average warrior (because i don’ have a warrior) has xxxxhp, and xxx mp, they would need to recharge after ever half minute, considering they’re low level, and how much damage a horny mushroom does. (hits 5x damage of level 2x) so maybe 3x to 4x of warriors of w/e.
now, warrior must have some skill to protect themselves, that also takes away time, and also, warriors have to use potions for hp AND mp. So altogether, that wastes about 10seconds(with killing, and moving around, and repotting) because you said earlier that this warrior does not use any skills.
So, therefore, this warrior trains at green mushroom you say, so a mob would only be around 4-5. but other times, there are no mobs. If this was in the Elli tree, climbing the ropes would also add time. So 12seconds for each 2 kill. (to even out the mobs and un-mobs)that’s 4000 kills/2 (for each 2 kill) Then devided by 60, that’s 400 minutes then devided by 60 again, that’s 6.6hours. That’s 6and a half. Now, unless you have super powers, I must say, you have to eat, to +another 2 hours for lunch and toilet break.
An average warrior would take 8.6hours
but for hackers, why would that choose green mushrooms, why they would go to Drakes. gaining 105exp. needing only to kill 952 Copper Drakes to level, while staying the the same place, and no need for re-potting. But, ofcourse, there will be more kills.
So let’s say it takes 10 normal kills to kill a Copper Drake. that would be 9000 hits. BUT what if this warrior uses skills. so it only takes 5hits.so that’s half the amount. so 4500hits. around 1 hit per 2 second, hitting about 2 Copper Drakes at a time, That’s only 2.5hours, then the hacker levels.
That’s my theory, and I’m sure it’s correct. Never had a warrior before, but I’m positive it’s correct.
Anyway, what I think is a level 32 legit warrior can level once from 0% to 100% in about 2-3 hours using skills.
A hacker can level in 20 minutes or so.”
Abit too far-fetched. xDD
It definately doesn’t take 5 seconds to travel from monster to monster.
sorry, your analysis is incorrect
it would take an average of 1.5seconds from 1 green mush to another, and about .2 seconds for a hacker to re-attack another green mush, if they would 1 hit all the time theoritically
Waow.
I hate math so much that I’m not even going to bother arguing with/refuting your theory.
