Hp washing and survivability

Hello,
I'm now lvl 169, and I was wondering if it's too late to HP wash?
How do you HP wash?
Is it expensive?
Is it worth it?

I figure it'll help with general bossing, but will have no benefit when I get 1/1'd. I'm still trying to figure out a legit way around the 1/1 issue.. I have yet to successfully survive a seduce and 1/1 and I even struggle greatly with 1/1 in general due to Australia being laggy and regardless of how many times I spam that power elixir button nothing happens. Any tips on this as well?

Thanks durka drks

[quote=pulpit](Elite) Rex Earrings are probably also an option since they offer up 10% hp, but at the cost of durability, which gets awkward if you run out halfway. I believe that Elites have 1 wa so you can chaos that and hope for solid stats, but they are a pain to get.[/quote]

And they're untradeable.

[quote=AndonG321]Yea I guess it isn't the old days anymore.. I was too young to ever try HP wash when it was popular.

Anyway, thanks everyone for all your input, this is pretty much all I needed.

- Buying potion pot tonight
- Searching for a mutant snail familiar (i only have 16mil, how much are these familiars in windia?)[/quote]

@AndonG321: that's because i washed stupid amounts when there was an AP sale and as i leveled up (when it was still possible) AND it has taken it's toll, i only have 850 base str right now, so i'm lacking THIRTY levels worth of strength

another thing is that washing was useful back then, to stay in zerk range, to tank bigfoot's touch, now, either it one-hit-kills you or it doesn't, and no matter how much your max HP is, as a DrK you'll always be down to 1 after a 1/1

[quote=icedemon9]@AndonG321: Imo, it's actually average since most people don't hp wash compared to back then. Like what it says in the guide, hp washing should be [i]last[/i] in your list when it comes to upgrading your drk.[/quote]

Well I only have ~29k HP fully buffed. Is this bad at 169? I swear I saw a screenshot of @darkspawn980 with like 80k HP

Unless they create a HP/MP reset coupon, I don't think HP washing is an answer to anything.

Got to remove these blooded points =.=.

[quote=underpaying]HP washing is almost never a viable solution and costs waaaaaaaayy too much (Unless you are an over achiever and want to survive 50k damage reflect bosses). You are much better off investing in decent hyper body/invincibility seconds nebulites and +7k HP alchemy potions.

Just buy a potion pot and use the potion pot glitch to survive everything[/quote]

Decent HB on a DrK? o.o
Anyone know price of invincibility nebs in windia?

I think I'll buy a potion pot.. they really aren't that expensive considering I have a job.

More HP won't prevent 1/1 from bringing you to 1 hp.

i know all about HP washing, and in short:

the higher leveled you are, the better.
it's stupidly expensive
i can't say if it's worth it or not, for a DrK it has it's perks, same for other classes, up to you if the perks offset the amount of str you could have gained with all the money you'll use.

as for the survival thing, +invincibility frames potential is a godsend.

[quote=drakanss]being in australia doesn't really effect maple story lag, you just have a crap computer with crap internet, i play perfectly fine here.
anyway hp washing is expensive, you're better off just getting things like empress set, character cards, good medals , HTP.[/quote]
I don't have a crap computer or crap internet. I think the reason you play fine is because you have god mode turned on. Playing a BAM with ign sellleech? Hacker for sure. Thanks for tips though.

[quote=MyKarma]Get a snail familiar. It saved me from seduce + 1/1 at czak today. Oh and max aura.3 more things you can do are: Get resistance potions, Get invincibilty pot/nebs on your equips and/or buy potion pots; I hear they work even when seduced or pot locked. Well that's everything I can think of. Good Luck![/quote]
Snail familiar and resistance potions sounds like the easiest things to start with. I could buy a potion pot but that's only a temporary solution and I don't want to have to keep spending real monies every month.

Anyone know about HP washing and price/benefits/method
