Apologies for lack of updating Thief Damage Ranges

Hello thieves of Basil,

I'd like to apologize for my less-frequent updating on the Thief Damage Ranges guide. I plan on updating on an almost-weekly basis after next week. However, I'd also like to add that my recent addition of ranges only added a few ranges (barely a dent compared to the whole guide). The guide depends completely on the thief community of basil, so once again, I'd like to request that basilers make the guide as useful as possible by submitting ranges.

There have been some complaints regarding outdated ranges. I would also like to address this. The "outdated" ranges aren't invalid ranges. They are still perfectly useful for comparison purposes for the majority of thieves, and there's no need to remove them. Many thieves here seem to forget that the majority of every class community includes UNFUNDED players, so just because you're improving over time, doesn't mean there is no one that can benefit from the older ranges. They are all post-big bang, and unless I'm wrong, there have been no other updates that have adjusted our ranges. Release of newer equips do not make previous ranges invalid or useless.

To once again encourage the use of this guide, I would like to request that people of all fund-levels, worlds, and classes, submit a screenshot to the guide. I will make another update on the weekend of April 21st, so hopefully I have more ranges to add by then.

You can see the guide [url=http://www.basilmarket.com/MapleStory-Guide-Thief-Damage-Ranges-282.html]here[/url], but I will accept links to screenshots either in the comments section of the guide or here (please do not PM screenshots... my inbox is cluttered like always).

Any questions, concerns or comments, I will address as soon as I read them here or by PM.

Thank you for the two and a half years of support you have given me, and I hope to continue updating the guide for you all. It's a two-way street, but it's been going great overall so far!

PS: "Thieves" mean Assassins, Bandits, Dual Blades, and Night Walkers alike. We are all a part of this community, so quit the hatin' and start submittin'

[quote=xlDanteIx]I can count 8 of them. Possibly 9. That's the majority of the equipment you have on.
I'm in the same boat but, at least be honest about it.
To be honest, no one should look down on you. They're actually possible to make and they help you hit high.[/quote]

Everything is duped except the helmet lol

Regarding all the mod comments: I've retired from modding, but that should ultimately be beneficial for this guide

@sl3athOwl: I honestly don't pay close attention to everyone's equips, but I would have to discourage posting your range with duped/hacked equips or anything like that.

@bombinator: I'd have to agree. I was even considering just dropping the guide back then because it seemed pointless to continue with % stats. Instead, I've just made sure to note on the guide that one should only compare himself or herself to others of realistic funding.

I was wondering where it went.

I feel like damage range threads have been pointless since the introduction of the potential system, pretty game-breaking at that point

Any rules on duped equips? I may or may not have a few...

[quote=DrHye]Thank you all for your (anticipated) screenshots! Just note, I can't make this thread every single time the thread loses attention! Please keep the guide in the back of your head and encourage your fellow thief buddies to contribute as well, ESPECIALLY if they're unfunded. We need more realistic ranges xD
