Anyone have Xenon questions? Kms Xenon
Hey, I'm a Xenon in KMS and seeing as GMS seems to be really excited for this class I'm willing to answer any questions that might arise.
Just for background info; I'm the strongest foreigner in KMS, top 30 in the entire server. I've been playing this Xenon since release however many months ago, so I pretty much feel qualified to answer any questions.

I don't spend money, and i only have... maybe 70 mil total of all my characters. what could i achieve with that?
@greenarrowspark not spending real money is not the same as being unfunded. He probably has several billion mesos which he uses to purchase equips.
Are there any tips you have for unfunded people? like how to get your godly equips with 0 funds? thanks!
Probably the green MPE potions or SI
@ownsall60 Why does Masquerade Snipe hit slowly in some videos and a lot faster in other videos?
slow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwvwPtjUYe4
fast: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFHYavvFf_o
So basically this and DA are for those who can't easily boss/merch? Seems like it was partially made to make the curve entering Unlimited/Spark/Unleashed easier to deal with if you arent a Kaiser/DB/AB/Merc/Phant hitting cap with a maxed/near maxed range pre release.
Do you use pinpoint missile (the skill that gets enhanced at every job advancement) at all? o_o and does the % damage boost from multilateral appear in the range or solely in the damage?
i was curious about how multilateral was applied, is the same as having 50% total dmg by the last increase so you only see the effects on your output dmg or is it more like the ab or kanna buff and increase your actual range before damage output?
what does auto-assign due?
with 3 stats to choose, how does it allocate 5 ap?
Which auto assign do I use and why are there three?
Most of us here don't think you are showing off. I actually appreciate a different perspective on things and not some speculative insight. Could you possibly just list the rough stats of your equips because I know many people here are "preparing" for a xenon, and have nothing to base it on.
@ixPiex: They should be able to equip any weapon as long as they are all job common, but they can't attack with it.
Can Xenon equip a weapon that isn't an Energy Sword? o.o

Yeah, the hackers ruined GMS for me a while ago.
No, everyone is generally very nice. They absolutely love Canadians especially. We can take down Empress and the Chaos RA bosses, but takes lots of hard teamwork.[/Quote]
Canadians? Meh, who knows. But thanks for answering my questions.
[quote=ownsall60]3.I'd consider it, but I'm REALLY lazy. I'd also feel like I'm showing off, which I have absolutely no interest in doing. People would automatically assume I spent multiple thousands of dollars (whereas I spent none) and it's just be annoying.[/quote]
Yay! Inspiration, and an example you don't really need money
[quote=ownsall60]Around 850k-900k range buffed iirc, I'd SS but I'm missing quite a few things atm as I stopped playing for a month or so due to Unlimited ruining the game.
I have around 250% luk, 150%ish of all the other stats including allstat
EDIT: This was taken quite a while ago so it's PRETTY outdated, a lot of my stuff changed since then, but it's the most recent one I took http://i.imgur.com/64BMqO1.png I'm also using other peoples buffs, sorry ahahaha
EDIT2: Forgot to answer your other questions. Pretty damn easy. I had a pirate tyrant cape and a godly dual blader lying around + other things I bought it ended up working out pretty well. Since it's 3 main stats, if you can pick a stat and stack it (preferably dex/luk), you're pretty much set.[/quote]
I have around 250% luk aswell, idk about all stats(I have like 600dex off of 25 base). What would my range be if I were to xfer my gear to a Xenon? Just a rough estimate. Also did the range formula change when unlimited came? Cause 250% stat of any job doesn't give any more than 300k range.
Also an equip video would be super helpful. It would answer a lot of questions like these.
@ownsall60: If you can, I'd be interested in seeing an equip video. Upload and make it unlisted if anything, I'm trying to figure out where my range is gonna be and my stats seem to be pretty close to yours.
[quote=DarkOdor]What would it take to get a 100k range? And 200k range? (%all stats, weapon att, equips). How much would i expect to hit per line with masquerade purge snipe with either a 100k and 200k range? Thanks in advance [/quote]
Now I'm pretty bad with numbers but here are my best assumptions.
100k range is pretty easy, 50% all stats and well scrolled empress
200k range is around 80% all stats and well scrolled empress
With 100k range you can expect to hit about 700k a line, with 200k range about a million.
Don't take these numbers for certain, as soon as I hit 140 I had a very very high range so I don't exactly remember.
[quote=christien]I'd like to know the ideal top/bot/hat combination for Xenon.
I currently have a 6% all stat, 6% dex common top and a 15% dex common bottom and I'd like to improve that. I planned on using the Xenon Event Hat since it provides 5% crit, has decent stats, and comes unique (?) potted, but would you suggest a better hat?[/quote]
Root Abyss full, otherwise Empress as both options give tons of stats.
[quote=AlienMV]:3 That's a long time away from here
Real nice of you to answer these questions. Though I have a general question about KMS, is everyone mean, and is everyone strong enough to fight the revamped Bosses?
Isn't the Crit Ring unobtainable now?[/quote]

[quote=OmgItsMazz]1. How much %boss/%total damage do you have?
2. What is your damage like on regular mobs and bosses?
3. Can you do an equipment video?[/quote]
1.I have around 200% boss iirc
2.On regular mobs I do around 10m a line, on bosses like zakum I do 15-16ish with PDR I do less since the PDR formula is all sorts of f'd up in KMS.
3.I'd consider it, but I'm REALLY lazy. I'd also feel like I'm showing off, which I have absolutely no interest in doing. People would automatically assume I spent multiple thousands of dollars (whereas I spent none) and it's just be annoying.

@leafreed: Maybe you do... but most people don't have hoards of Crit Rings. They're unobtainable now and you can only trade them once.
[quote=ownsall60]I haven't played GMS in years, so I have no idea what your "unfunded" is.

[quote=leafreed]If you can afford the RA set use that. But the 5% crit can be replaced with the explorer 5% crit ring[/quote]

[quote=Ryann1]How much does a xenon hit unfunded, just want a baseline :o[/quote]
I haven't played GMS in years, so I have no idea what your "unfunded" is.
Though judging by their high %'s, and low usage of potions and crap it's pretty awesome for unfunded people. If you're funded (and I mean 50m/line funded) Kaiser/Wind Archer thing is probably your best bet.
EDIT: I'm off. Ill answer any and hopefully all questions that are here when I wake up, so don't be shy!
[quote=AbekAZ]I don't really like this new job (just my opinion)
...does anyone else not like it?[/quote]
In KMS it was pretty popular, very well received.
Of course there's always going to be people who don't like it, which I totally understand. I still suggest you give it a try though!
[quote=xkillo32]@ownsall60: then
how did u get so pro?[/quote]
Friends + you learn a few tricks after your third two-hundred + major boss runs on my other characters.

[quote=ZzBreezy]What is the main attacking skill for Xenon's?
Do you use Blade Dance for mob training and masquerade for bosses? Or do most just stick to masquerade variations.
I was just wondering since most people who upload videos tend to only use masquerade o.o[/quote]
BD is good for when you have multiple mobs (EG buffed empress when you have to fight her and all the V2s at the same time), masquerade is a really good 1v1 attack as with the hyper skill it ignores a total of 40% defense iirc.

[quote=AbekAZ]Tbh I don't even know what a xenon is can you tell me, like is it a ranged class or melee and what type of weapon does it use[/quote]
It's a really weird job, my good friend Max explains it better than I ever could. http://orangemushroom.wordpress.com/2013/01/02/kms-ver-1-2-183-the-ultimate-weapon-xenon/
Basically they're a thief/pirate at the same time, use 3 stats as primary stats, they're partially ranged and partially melee. They also use a power source for their more powerful buffs/skills.
[quote=xkillo32]how much money did u spend in kms already?
also
are u able to solo a chaos RA boss?[/quote]
Spent absolutely nothing, buying korean NX from Canada is expeeennssiivveee.
No, our chaos bosses are much harder afaik.

[quote=ShutUpPlease]Hi Andy. Didn't know you had a basil.[/quote]
Ello. Who are youuuuuu
omgz i hit 50m per line, im so korean! omg omg oppan oppan korea! im so godly in ms and im also a dinosaur
so, i can be harsh too, uh? xD
[quote=theonlyepixH]Ok so would it be best just to focus on one stat? I mean like add stats evenly but get all luk% or all dex%. Or would it be better to get some luk % aswell as str and dex?[/quote]
%all stat is hard as hell, seeing how rare/hard it is to get multiple lines of it, but would obviously be the best option as Xenon benefits equally from all 3 stats.
I would focus on one stat, but if incredible equips from another stat come your way, those are cool too. Personally, I focus on getting tons of LUK, but if I get a 24% dex equip I won't complain.
I also play KMS, and have a xenon but I can't upload it because my comp have errors when uploading pic in imgur.. -.-
good for you..?
[quote=ownsall60]Top 30 in terms of damage. Leveling sucks, I would never level.
mfw my damage is terrible at my level. That line makes me think you're trolling.[/quote]
he is indeed joking i bet he don't even have a character with more than 1.5m range
[quote=hermitboyz440]Hope this isn't too stupid of a question but...
I know that Xenon uses a weapon called Energy Sword and a secondary weapon called Controller (according to OrangeMushroom)
This means that you use [b]one handed[/b] scrolls to scroll each of the weapons, correct?[/quote]
It's a one handed weapon, so yes one handed scrolls.
[quote=Chocolatee]add me on kms.. im really korean. and ive never heard of you.. doubt youre top 30... your actually in the 3000's soo...
and your damage is terrible at that level lmao[/quote]
