Are nexons servers slow? My school's internet is usually trash but today running exceptionally well at ~6mbps. I know that speed tests are only rough estimates and that the results should always be taken with a grain of salt. Or a whole jar of it, but the point is that the internet here shouldn't be what's bottling the download. Apart from bandwidth, the latency is pretty low, too. This happened the last patch where the patcher would take HOURS to download and the servers seemed to be clogged beyond reason. I'm just wondering if anyone's experiencing the same issues. I heard there's some attendance thing today. The last time, it took me two days of installing and uninstalling the patcher and then the entire game until I could finally play a

Materials to Perf a Faf Wep? Someone let me know if I'm calculating it right first... So a Fafnir has 8 slots and 10 with hammers. With max Diligence (+10% success rate of scrolling) and Spell Fever, a 15% Spell Trace becomes 35%, right? So with 10 slots, that's 28.6 sets of spell traces I'll need. Just to play it safe, I'm guessing I'll need to attempt ~30-35 rounds of traces. Since each +9 ATK "scroll" requires 570 total Traces. That means I'll need 17,000 spell traces (which I'm close to getting.) Assuming that Diligence affects CSS, too, then 10%s -> 20% pass rate so I'll need 50x 10% Clean Slate Scrolls, right? So 20k spell traces, 50x 10% CSSs. Now here's another question; are iCoGs worth using on Fafs and if so, does it

Scaling and Funding Not to sound stupid, though there's probably more than few things I'm overlooking, but can anyone answer the reason behind certain classes "scaling" badly/well with funding? Here's what I'm seeing: classes with greater potentials have higher speeds and higher lines so classes like Kaisers/DBs have huge potential while Arans have lower potential for having at most 4 lines to play with (well, with Bear smack, that is). Incidentally, it happens that Arans' buffs give huge +attack which means for every additional +atk you put into the class, the return is far lower. So +1 attack for an Aran might do less for its damage output than would, say, for a Paladin or something. Could anyone give me some more insight as to

Best way to get RP and cubes in game? So I used to boss a lot mainly for cubes, but even doing most dailies (Zak, Hilla, HT, RA, Krexel) it seems really hard to get cubes from them. I do get some RP but even after a week it seems like it's not enough to get cubes. I'll continue to do this, but the thing is I'm a little stuck on farming for Elites, cos it does seem to be a far more reliable way and there's no "limit" to how many I spawn, as long as I spend enough time in game. However, soon my schedule's going to get pretty tied up and I won't be able to farm for Elites as much as I could over break and I'm wondering what you guys are doing to fund yourself in game, if you had to pick only one method to fund yourself. Also, are there any oth

Bosses to grind on? It's been a while since I've trained on Maple and I just created a new DB (never really mained a thief before; have no equips going for it) and I'm looking forward to bossing more than I am grinding. However at the moment it's only 125 and has a pitiful 30k range haha. Besides Normal Zakum and Easy/Normal HT, are there any bosses I could efficiently grind on? Or would I be better off spending my time training elsewhere at like Monster Park or something? Thanks!

A trusted place to look for Windias server status? It seems that southperry is down often or it just doesn't update because I've been seeing the same image for several hours now. I'm pretty sure the servers are lagging like crazy and I keep getting d/c'd every ~5 minutes or so, but I can't really find anywhere to double check this. I've been able to check my internet bandwidth and latency and so far, it looks like it's a server-side issue. But I just wanna be sure so... Title?

How does quipment Transferquot work? I was kind of hoping this was similar to transposing so I wouldn't need to spend forever trying to make an item again but eh. For those wondering what I'm talking about, it's in the "Equipment Enchant" (or did it mean to say "Enhance?") window on the 3rd tab, which says "Equipment Transfer." But it seems that I can't "transfer" anything over at all, even if the items are exactly the same and one is traced up. Would anyone care to explain how this works? Thanks!

Best way to go about fund myself? I know there are a lot of guides and a lot of different opinions out there, but everybody's situation is different so I decided it'd be best to share my circumstances and receive some feedback for what I can do. So I've recently come back to Maple and I'm playing on a very, very broke character with rather poor equips. At the moment I'm not looking to make hundreds of Mil in a week quite yet (though I could always do with suggestions for how to make money faster, as my life would be much easier), as much as I am trying to prepare myself for future Spell Fever events, Miracle Times, and other events where I can collect scrolls and other upgrades, etc. My daily routine has been doing what few dailies I can (a
