Gregorius #General Talk

Gregorius Easiest Way of Obtaining Tempest Coins? I'd say the title's self-explanatory, but if it doesn't clue you in right away: I'm just coming back to Maple from a short break of a couple months ([i]wanted to see people's impressions of Kaiser and Luminous before making my own[/i] ) and I just found out about the Tempest Coin events the other night. I checked a few things out and noticed that one of the two Tempest Coin NPCs - I think his name was 'Spark' - was selling new classless armor sets for Level 100 characters; did a little math and figured out, "[i]Hey, this is going to be way better than the set my perma-Beginner has now,[/i]" so I decided I'd try to get a set for her to wear if and when she ever makes it to Level 100. Also fig

Gregorius Crimson Maple Equipment Drops For those of you that have been training recently, are Crimson Maple Equipment pieces still dropping from monsters? The MapleStory site that they were going to drop from October 10-16, but I only found a single glove drop on my Dual Blade yesterday. Has anyone still found them via random drops today, or have they already been taken out?

Gregorius P/c on Perm Nx NOTE: Prices should be for Broa. Just did an eleven-box run of some Premium Surprise Style Boxes, and someone's posting an offer on a Red Rose Chat Ring that I got for 300 million mesos. Should I take it, or should I pass it up? He also wants to make offers on my Green Apple Label Ring and an Ink-and-Wash Painting Name Tag Ring. What are good prices for those? [b]EDIT:[/b] With the above items having already been sold, I'm now looking for the most accurate price checks on the following: [*]Goblin Fire [*]Flying Nobilitas [*]Angel Cherub [*]Golden Bell Outfit (Male) [*]Kitty Cap [*]Lucia Cape [*]Wire Headband [*]Slither Style Snake Sword [*]Twinkling Boy Hat

Gregorius So, How Was Everyones 2x Exp? Since I didn't see one up, thought I might as well make one. We can end up using it for the remainder of the weekend as well, but since the first two-hour period is already up, I thought, "Why the hell not?" I cashed in a Marvel Machine code for a 3x EXP coupon... which I soon discovered didn't work with the system's 2x EXP event. Not to make it feel like a waste, I bought a 2x coupon from the Cash Shop and trained my Wind Archer from 82-95. Thirteen levels in two hours... I'd peg that as 'alright'. How about you guys?

Gregorius Beginner and Resistance Skills Need A Boost So let's look at other permanent versions of pre-first job characters. Cygnus Knights just got a major revamp down to their very cores, giving all of them a mobbing skill, an omni-directional Flash Jump and a recall skill much like Mercedes' [i]Elven Blessing[/i]'s active effect (with a significantly smaller cooldown). Permanent Legends (pre-Arans) can, to my knowledge, use polearms in order to attack multiple monsters in a row. Other Hero-class characters start at Level 10 and don't suffer the tedium of an unnecessary tutorial for the first ten levels, as do Nova and Sengoku characters... that really just leaves Explorers (Beginners) and non-story-based Resistance characters (Citizens). Hell, eve

Gregorius You Know, Its Funny ...just a while ago, there was a thread that mentioned that, and I quote, "MapleStory is an 18+ game". Unfortunately, it got locked and deleted rather hastily, but that might have been the OP's fault in part for posting explicit images... then again, the pictures involving Irina and Empress Cygnus were pretty well-drawn, but that's neither here nor there. The point of the matter is, [i]he [b]had[/b] a point[/i]. Have any of you actually taken the time to read Nexon's Terms of Service? Hm, well, that's a somewhat obvious answer--[i][b]of course you haven't[/b][/i]. "Why read when you can play, right?" But I'm here to expand on the point the last thread's creator made: you don't have to be eighteen or o

Gregorius Is Anyone Else Getting Intermittent Lag? Just a quick question. I'm going through Sakura Castle right now on my Battle Mage and the system seizes up for a second every five or six seconds, making picking up the required items more like work than a fun activity... funny thing is, this wasn't happening at any other training spot I went to earlier today. Long story short: just wondering if anyone else is lagging slightly when training, or if it's just something inside of Sakura Castle.

Gregorius Nexon you clever bastards Sure they give us a character slot coupon but not un... ...yeah, no, sorry, I couldn't even finish copy/pasting that sentence with a straight face. Let's face it, Nexon's not the best company. They've made several... several hundred... several thousand...? They've made more mistakes than any of us could count on all our fingers combined, especially in not implementing things that would make the game perform better both mechanically and in terms of gameplay itself. I mean, listen to all the people who're talking about suddenly getting lag in major towns; I don't think that's ever been a real issue before about a month ago. And don't even get us started on character balancing... that argument could go on 'til RED get

Gregorius Price Check - Blazing Sun Face Paint and More See above. I do not need (nor do I necessarily want) the Blazing Sun Face Paint--I'd rather hunt for Rising Sun recipes, since I already have three of five--so I'm looking to possibly sell it in Broa. As well, I have some other items that I want gotten rid of, so if I could get price checks for the following recipes and mastery books, that'd be great as well: [b]Recipes:[/b] [i]Green Wolf Pendant; Green Bear Pendant; Lucky Green Gilded Belt; Lucky Brown Gilded Belt; Wise Noble Pauldron; Wise Royal Pauldron; Sharp Grand Pauldron; Crescent Moon Earrings; HP Hound Earrings[/i] [b]Mastery Books:[/b] [i]Piercing Arrow 20; Taunt 20; Advanced Final Attack 20; Demon Impact 20[/i] EDIT: I neglected to me

Gregorius A Better Maple - Results For those of us that don't want to have to search through a giant page of options to see what came in first, I thought I'd take the time to show you just what ranked where now that 'A Better Maple' has closed its ranking page. These are what you voted on, Basilers; and yes, it's too late to change your mind on how you voted. [header]4.5 or more (out of 5)[/header] [*][b]4.8:[/b] Why can't non-NX items be shared across all characters in an account? Why are so many items untradeable or tradeable only with a Sharing Tag or SoK? [*][b]4.8:[/b] Why aren't Cash Shop inventories combined, so we can move the items we bought between characters regardless of class? [*][b]4.7:[/b] Why did you make the game so pay-to-win? [*][b

Gregorius Six Things That Should Be Implemented in Ms As good as the game is now, there are no doubts in my mind that there are elements of the game as it was that would make the current versions of MapleStory so much better. At the same time, there should me minor additions to the game that I feel would be welcomed by players new and old. With that, I shall start my list of six simple things, in no specific order, that should either be introduced or reimplemented into MapleStory, starting with: • [b]ANDROID GEAR[/b] First things first, I want to stress how much I miss this specific series of items and how angry I was when they removed your ability to craft the set pieces from the game. The one thing that did kind of sit poorly with me was the

Gregorius Cant Trade Surprise Box Items Among Self I encountered this a couple days ago, but never bothered posting about it, and it's left me really curious. At one point in time, probably back when they were first starting to get popular, weren't you able to trade Cash Shop equips you got from (Premium) Surprise Style Boxes between your other characters through the storage NPCs if they didn't have a shared Cash Shop inventory? 'Cause here's my current predicament--I have two 'Dark Irena / Irena the Betrayer' headpieces in my Explorers' Cash Shop, and I want to put one of them on my Wind Archer. Is there any way I can go about that without paying for a new one from someone else?

Gregorius Three Tempest-Related Questions Alright, let's keep this simple. Three questions, and I'm expecting at least one answer answer for each question. ________________________________________ [b]1)[/b] I got an Angelic Buster charcter to Level 70 this morning, which means I have both the "Exp 30/70" bottles. I have seven other characters, all of them under Level 20 currently, so... which bottle(s) should I use on which of the following characters? ([i]If you could list a reason or two as well or even just want to tell me what you're biased towards, that'd be awesome... but I can't really force you to.[/i]) [*]Aran (male) [*]Explorer (future Paladin, might be made into UA in future; male) [*]Noblesse (pending Thunder Breaker/Night Walke
