Nexon forgot one small factor about the mechanic equips

It's impossible to make a pure gold engine. It's impossible to make anything out of PURE gold. All of the jewelery we buy are alloys, and even if they were to somehow manufacture an engine out of pure gold, it would be incredibly weak, and will not add anything near to 5 attack, or 5 strength. Good job, Nexon, should of made something like a titanium engine.

Lots of things about MapleStory make no sense.

It's called a game for a reason.

I don't know what world you're living in buddy, but in mines those are all huge issues.
OT: Also, if they really were pure gold, they wouldn't be selling for 500k each. I'm guessing somebody got ripped off here.

I always thought that the tree was what controlled Zakum. The one in the background that you can see when you are fighting Zakum. Zakum seems to be just a monster made of rock.

Indeed, but there's just one small little thing ._. ... In theory, a pure gold engine failure rate is huge nad more importantly, this has never been tried as far as i know, so you can't really prove the engine doesn't give 5att xD
Seriously, even though it may seem wrong a pure gold engine can be functional, it's not impossible it just would suck, lol.

It's also known that gold is a great conductor of electricity.
Therefore mechanics should be weak against electric attacks .
(The electric runs through your armor straight into your body GG.)

You're right. Pure gold is pretty much as easy to bend as a paper clip. But, Nexon knows that it's mostly younger kids who play this game, who don't really give a crap xD.

He's not shooting it. It's shooting towards him from Tesla Coil's and is simply traveling through the metal armor he is wearing.

I think the point he's trying to make (or maybe what I would say) is that even though Maplestory IS a fictional/fantasy type of game, using magic to shoot beams from the sky or to ride dragons and jaguars and all that stuff, is "possible" with "magic". But gold isn't a strong substance for it to be the final mechanic equip. Or maybe the "pure gold" is like... magical. O_o

But anyways, since gold is perceived as something amazing and the "best find", and how it's always used in jewelery, it makes sense to the people that don't understand gold isn't that good(majority of MS).

But on the other hand....
Maplestory isn't exactly the most logical game. =/

Currently, the strongest boss is a pink jelly bean.
Our heads are like 10x bigger than our hands.
When you hold a two handed sword, sometimes only 1 hand is on the sword, and the other hand is somewhere off in the distance.
etc.

But yeah, I don't think it really matters.
