A Tale of Why You Should Not Drop Transfer

It all started with a [D] Nebulite that gives + Magic Att.
Oh? What's that? We get 1 free Alien Cube for each account? Sweet!
Proceed to cube on first account. Success! [C] 15% PDR.
Drop in left corner of Craft Town, ch12.
Relog. Go to Craft Town.
Drop Transfer success!
Proceed to cube on second account. Success! [C] Wep Def +2%
Drop again in left corner of Craft Town, ch11.
Relog. Go to Craft Town.
Drop Transfer success!
Proceed to cube on third account. Success! [B] ATT +2%
Out of accounts to use free cube. Time to give back to account 1!
Drop again in left corner of Craft Town, ch12.
Relog.
Oh no! A wild Demon Slayer appeared!
The Demon Slayer's pickup ability allowed it to loot the Nebulite!
Jeff used "Charm!"
Jeff said: Excuse me, I was wondering if you could please give that back. I was doing a drop transfer.
The Demon Slayer flinched and F6'd.
The Demon Slayer ran away!

Darn.... I shoulda used a Master Ball.
Oh well, there's the story kids.
Don't do a drop transfer in craft town like the idiot I was. It's not worth it.

By the way, P/C on [B] ATT +2% neb? Wondering how much I lost out on.
Edit: I cubed the PDR15% because I wanted to test my luck, and it didn't really matter to me anyway since it was just hypothetical profit.

[quote=waynelio]DUDE I forgot each account gets a free cube! I'll be sure not to make the same mistake when I cube my pathetic C nebulite that recovers 2HP every 4 seconds.[/quote]

Good luck, sir!

A while back I lost 7 2H 50% pinks drop transferring them, but I didn't think much of it then because it was the time when you could make mules and farm them .

Drop transfer is fine if you do it right. IE not in a popular map like ardentmill.

I do my transfers on the right side of Henesys behind the tree. But they always fail 'cause MapleStory takes 3-5 minutes to start up, haha.

lol youre drop-transferring at the wrong place. there are almost at least one spot in every town where you can drop transfer without any problems. and the items are completely hidden too.

[quote=Teaful]15% PDR is at least 1 b (I have first hand seen one sold for that amount and the other unsold for 1.5)
C rank nebulites should go at least 700 m.
Ouch. No one drops an item in a place that you can see anyways.
Drop it so the item is hidden.[/quote]

Maybe when they first came out they might have been 1b, but they're about 150-250m for 15% pdr.

Why not? I have no regrets.
So I made someone's day by letting them pick up a free item.

[quote=cilverx4]I have zero sympathy for you. Possibly even negative sympathy. Why? Because you're an idiot. Firstly, use the dam in-game delivery system to transfer items between accounts. Secondly, why the hell would you drop transfer in the middle of Craft Town, where ANYONE from ANY location in your server can access from their location? There are so many places where you would have no trouble, and you choose one of the worst places possible...in plain sight? Not even hidden behind something? Honestly, I'm getting angry while writing this simply because I'm not capable of even fathoming the stupidity it takes for you to do that.

As for the p/c I would pay a few hundred mil for it I guess. Idiots saying thats its worth 500+mil, 1bil+? Wrong. Its not. If youre dumb enough to buy good nebulite now...well then I guess youre just dumb enough to buy good nebulite now. It speaks for itself.[/quote]
