Addendum to Basil Mercedes guides I note that the current stickied guides on Basil are outdated. has announced she has intentions of updating her [url=http://www.basilmarket.com/MapleStory-Guide-Mercedes---Queen-of-the-elves-417.html]Mercedes - Queen of the elves[/url] guide. Guide making is very tedious so be patient! :) For now I'll provide my comments on the changes while she works on it. [header]Changes and comments[/header] It's been awhile since its release and we've gone through quite a bit of tweaking and we still have a few more just around the corner. [b]~ GMS 1.37 - Unleashed[/b] Nothing that significantly affects the current guides in fact the 2 guides have included Hyper Skills but they haven't really catered for the changes in

Wind Archer Range Calculator [Header]Blabber[/header] I can't guarantee the accuracy of the calculator yet as I don't have a KMS account. I'm still working on the damage calculator and I will get onto this when I have time. Anyway, I know there's a fair few people already preparing for the WA revamp and awaiting eagerly. I aim for this to be a tool to estimate your range and eventually damage that you will do with the gear you have prepared. [i]I have prevented the spreadsheet from being edited as it is. [b]However[/b] you may be able to make a copy in your own Google Drive or download it. From there on, ONLY you will be able to see your changes.[/i] [header]Wind Archer Calculator[/header] [url=http://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0An

Archer Comparison - Utilities [i]This thread is based on [b]KMS 1.2.201 - FLY[/b] unless otherwise stated.[/i] [header]Utilities[/header] For some this may be a key factor for character selection aside from damage and fun/uniqueness. For the purpose of this thread, my understanding of utility is a tool/skill that ensures the efficiency of your damage output. This could mean survivability (if you're dead you're dead) or ignoring resistance and defence. This is purely a comparison of useful utilities that assist you in bossing and training. If I am missing anything or have misinterpreted any of the skills please advise me. (Disclaimer: I am a Mercedes main and I am biased towards them.)

Mercedes V Speculations [header]Disclaimer[/header] Absolutely 'fictional' and what I would want as my 5th job. However I didn't just add 10000000000% damage to our skills. I tried to be as realistic as possible (meaning I withheld my ambitions down to the very best). As of KMS1.2.195 our DPS on 1v1 targets is approximately 8,416.5%/s(thanks to Defense Break and RoI being jump cast-able). What I have proposed will push that to about 10,405%/s[need to be reworked due to change in Overdrive]. Which is in-line with the current 4th job top 10 DPSers. "What? so our 5th is inline with 4th for others.. That's stupid." - Yeah well, I'm not certain as to what Nexon plans for 5th but I honestly do not want to be a powerhouse. Not very elega

Mercedes Range Calculator [Header]Blabber[/header] Ever wanted to know what your range with X amount of upgrades that give +X attack, +Xdex% or what X range would do on average with one of your main skills? Hopefully this calculator becomes a tool that you can use to answer your own question. Note: Please accept minor discrepancies. However if you come across this please let me know. I may request for detailed information on how you have came across it if you don't mind.

The difficulty of getting beyond Empress Blessing level 24 Being bored and hungry for ways to boost my range without upgrading equips, I remembered that a few major patches ago they enabled Empress' Blessing to level beyond 24 by completing quests and raising your Noble Mind skill level. Now when it was first enabled, my peers suggested to not even bother with it as you need to defeat Arkarium and it is SUPER hard(although modified). It's been awhile and I currently have a Wind Archer with 18k buffed(transformed). I thought I should give it a try. I tried... and failed (well to be exact after 5 minutes of scratching his HP, I figured 30minutes is not enough to take down this old fart). Now my question is: Has anyone successfully defeated Ar
