I thought Reboot would be it, but So, I've been playing on and off since 2006. My range has always sucked because I'm not a mercher and I don't p2w... which after potential, that seemed to be all that mattered. I quit for a good while, then when I saw Reboot I randomly tried it out and got hooked. I thought it was great. A server that's not P2W (pets aside...), and such. So I pretty much made a new start, have several link mules, and about 3 chars at 175 or over. I even have a few legendary equips on one of them, though all of their ranges mostly still suck. Honestly I'm becoming very disillusioned with Reboot, though. This is pretty much just meso farm story. Literally, I feel like 99% of my time is spent just sitting still in MP3, or goin

Need a new reboot main, have some criteria, need some advice So here's kind of what I realized my criteria was: - Amazing mobbing (high #target and wide coverage) - Hold down button ability to make MP3 easier; I would prefer to not be very active in my farming - Very high stance (90-95+, pref 100), or a reliable substitute, as I hate getting knocked around - Good survivability/tankiness. - High bossing potential (funds aside) Right now I have a 175 DA and a 157 DS, those are the two I'm considering for maining. DS seems to fit most of my criteria best (especially mobbing; IC is ridiculous), but I'm worried about its bossing potential; although it has 14 lines with Blue Blood, it always seems to end up near the bottom. I like the DA. I'm wor

Advice on gearing myself up Hello folks. I managed to turn some Maple Points into about 400m so far. I spent 140m of it on a Fafnir Death Bringer with 213 attack. It raised my range by about 1.5x (and gave me some boss % and whatnot...). The potential sucks, but it's there in case I want to cube later. I have about 250m left and about 200-400m coming in when I sell the rest of this NX stuff. AFAIK, I have like 2 options: 1. Lionheart gear, 6 pieces (not gonna bother with the weapon) for lots of boss damage, as I do want to boss (what DA doesn't, with that HP bar?) 2. Keep trying to go for more % HP gear... This is what I'm working with right now: Anything that's purple (except the cape/earrings/gloves, they have 0) probably has 6% HP. I hav

Soloing Scarlion amp Targa Hey guys. I'm thinking of trying to solo Scar/Tar (probably at once since I hit everything around me anyway), and I've been trying to calculate whether I could do it or not. Time isn't really an issue. I just wanna get a scar helm with some decent potential. I have 2 accounts, and some chars with special potential scrolls (so I can run this quite a few times). I'm using my Aran to do this. I'm not funded much at all. I do about 150-250k on my Final Toss on the monsters in LHC, depending on crits. My initial calculations show about 19 minutes. Does this sound about right? I know physical immunity is gonna be an issue, so that might go up a decent amount (plus rebuffs). I don't honestly care how long it takes me, qu

Some Nx to spend on equips, need advice Well, I've ended up with 20k NX to spend in the MTS. I was originally aiming for 10k, but they only had 20k cards. Guess that's 2 Subway sandwiches down for next week. Anyway: The character I'm looking to maximize is my [b]Aran[/b]. My [b]current equips[/b] are pretty shoddy right now: 100%'d Maple Pyrope (100 attack) 10 attack glove 2 attack cape (No, I don't know how I train in LHC with these) [b]My goal:[/b] [b]20[/b] to [b]30[/b] more attack (or the equivalent of) on top of what I have. Preferably [b]not[/b] resorting to a slow speed polearm. I'm seeing those duped masks, which would naturally solve my problem in half a second, but I'm wary of buying them; there are also 27 attack gloves for prett

Cash shop mastery books I recently returned to Maple to try out Chaos. I made a jump start Evan. The question: I've been ripping my hair out trying to find this answer somewhere on the net, and I gave up. So, I'll just ask it here. Are all of the Evan CS mastery books 100% chance of working? (the ones that are on sale right now) I notice they're colored differently. Off topic: Also wow I didn't expect to get a free hair and face coupon and an exp up scroll on both my hermit and my new Evan (and another two on my other account...)... wonder when this happened. o.0

Maplestory: consumerism and affluenza Y'know, it's kinda funny. We were discussing consumerism and affluenza in one of my college classes (my ethics class, which, to be frank, might as well translate into a philosophy class...) a few weeks ago... and then I come into [url=http://www.basilmarket.com/forum/1755491/0/LOL__everyone_who_thought_dexless_couldnt_work.html#]this topic[/url], read it for a bit. The comments are generally pretty generic in these types of topics, though it's fun to watch people go at it... so then get ready to close my tab for the site (as per the usual forum lurking routine). Then, upon rereading a few messages on the later pages, it hit me. This game (and almost all F2P MMORPGs) reek of consumerism and affluenza so
