Bishop or Phantom I'm going to start playing KMS soon (I live in Korea), and I'm torn between making a Bishop or a Phantom. Here's what I'm taking into consideration: -I plan to play with a party as much as possible (people party Phantoms, right?) -Since I'll be in a new world I'll have no money, so I'm looking for a character that won't be too expensive (mostly in terms of pot burn and mastery books). -But on a related note, I don't care about damage, so it doesn't matter to me if a certain class needs lots of funding to be strong. -I've played two Bishops before (though quite some time ago), so it might be nice to try something new... Thoughts and advice appreciated! :)

Playing with no funds Two summers ago, I came back to Maple after a few years away. A lot (almost everything) had changed since I'd last played, so in order to regain my bearings, I decided to make a fresh start in a new world. I chose to play a new cleric (the first class I'd ever played on Maple), figuring the job would allow even an unfunded player to progress self-sufficiently. I had a blast living the no-meso life! I wasn't concerned about my damage at all, so I was more than happy to make due with the (few) free equips I could get from events. To my surprise, I was even able to hit 4th job (for comparison, before that summer [and way before Big Bang] my highest leveled character was a 113 I/L), and I managed to use my Renegades Coins

Server with Ideal Population Size? Some time in the near future (probably after the pirate revamp), I'm going to move out of Windia, create a Corsair (or Cannoneer if they've returned) in a new world, and play it straight to 120. I was originally thinking of restarting in Mardia, but after reading some of the GAZED threads, I've noticed a recurring comment: that the loss of available maps after the alliance translates to a slower 1-110 but a faster 110+ at LHC. Since CMYK is pretty much the same size as GAZED and my focus is going to be 1-110 and not 110+, I found this news a bit concerning. I'm now considering looking at a smaller world. Here's what I'm looking for in a world: I definitely need it to be full enough to PQ. I would like for

Are These Items Outdated? I'm doing an inventory clean-out. My characters have several items from a few years ago, and I've forgotten what a lot of them do. My suspicion is that many of them are useless now anyway. For the following items, could you tell me which ones I can safely toss? And for the ones that have a purpose, can you remind me what they're for? [b][i]ETC.[/i][/b] [b]Ripped Travel Ticket 1 and 2[/b] [b]Storybooks[/b] These aren't needed anymore, right?

Renegade Shop Equips I recently returned to Maple and am very unfamiliar with the equips that are currently in existence. On my 117 I/L I have no belt, eye accessory, face accessory, or pendant. Which Renegade items should I prioritize getting, and which ones have easily obtainable (and preferably free) equivalents? For example, even though I'm still in need of a good hat, I'm holding off on the frog one because I'm going to try to get a free Z-Helm soon. EDIT: Forgot one thing- if there are better alternative equips, please let me know what they are.
