[/url] PS: Technically, shes called No-hime, with an accent over the "o" [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C5%8Dhime] Check the link for spelling, since Basil doesnt allow accent marks.

Longest patch time So, what is the longest patch since the beginning of maple? I heard from others that the total time for aran patch was 40+ hour. Also, did the RED patch already set a new record? (count each part of a patch into the total, so all 3 parts of RED will count as one number). Currently, RED is at: Part 1: 11PM -10 AM, + ~12:30PM - 1:30 AM = 11 hours + 13 hours = 24 hours Part 2: 11PM - 7AM, + 12:50PM - 6:15PM = 8 hours + ~5 hour 30 mins = 13.5 hours (still adding up because patch isn't done yet) Part 3: ? (predicting it to be about 15-20 hours) EDIT: Please include the unscheduled "Maintainance" as well. It counts toward total downtime per patch. EDIT2: So Ariant patch was 25 hours 40 minutes, not including the unsch

How to efficiently play Da Heres how: Use until exceed starts and you get to low hp (about 10-30%, depends on your HP). USE OVERLOAD. I cannot stress this enough. At no point from 1-129 have I even used potions. If you somehow (I cant see how you would ever get lower than 10-30% hp as DA unless you're attacking at 20 stack exceed or 1hp/1mp) do not have overload and have low HP, you have 2 options: 1) Use exceed on nothing. It gives you a stack even if u hit nothing. Get 20 stacks and use overload. Your HP should be enough to get you by any hits until you are done. PS: You do not lose hp when hitting nothing, only when attacking enemies. 2) Use potions. With overload, you should never require pots for the most part. Personal Experience: Lvl

Empress Equips From Boxes So, all you merchants and overly funded players, you got your wish. Nexon has made the boxes give empress equips at such a rare chance that it won't affect the game very much. How does it feel to screw over the unfunded/low funded? EDIT: To anyone saying that I am complaining, no, I am not complaining. I can afford empress on my own and don't need the event. Also, since no one seems to realize it, Nexon actually LISTENS to their player base sometimes. With all of the people complaining that the market will crash, Nexon probably decided to lower drop rates to appease those people. I.E. Funded players not getting money from their runs causes Nexon to lower drop rates.

To anyone angry about empress dropped from box SUCK IT UP. You guys KNEW ahead of time that this event was gonna come to GMS for MONTHS NOW. You had time to prepare. You had the chance to sell your stuff, now let others do the same. This event benefits EVERYONE. If you don't like clean empress equips, FUSE IT FOR POTENTIAL/CHAOS IT. You can ALWAYS get better stuff this way. This is the same as the tempest giveaway. The price of clean tempest equips plummeted, yet i was STILL able to sell ring/shoulder/pendants/belts with GARBAGE RARE POTENTIAL. Do you know why? Because I fused the items to get +10 atk/matk bonus potential and then sold for 30-50 mil a PIECE. TL;DR This event benefits everyone. Suck it up.
