Aran

The Ask an Aran thread

hey guys =p, some of you may know me, but most dont. I know, this is mostly copied off the evan thread, but theres none for arans and theres at least half a page of the same old questions everyday so i guess why not start this =p.. First of all, this is just to get things started, ill fix this up later once i have the time but i dont have much time atm so i guess this will do.

For people wanting to ask questions, i would like if you would quote me or the person you want to answer your question recommended but not mandatory, but if/when this thread reaches 10+ pages it would be much easier for me to answer questions if you quoted me since then i can just click the little tab thing on the bottom =D.. and second once someone answers your question you should edit your post to say (answered) or something so someone won't answer it twice.

NEW PROCEDURE: you guys mail mail me your questions and i will pm you back the my answer. You may also post here still if you would like someone else to answer your questions of course, but i will not answer the same questions on the thread if you pmed me the same question. Also note that i only pm answers if you pm me a question first =o

Another thing, i can't answer questions on weekends, so anything asked then would have to wait until monday at the very least =p sorry

I guess this is it for now.. i feel like im missing something but cant think of anything, but if you guys want to suggest something feel free to ask =)

i would need to know # of hammers, enhances, rank of pot. and # of lines to give you a accurate answer but i dont think i would be able to give an correct price, especially w/ the new maple weapons out the karstan would probably deflate =/
@YokoTheSin
overswing 20 should drop from silver slimes, cerebes, and dragon rider.
high mastery 20 should be coolie zombies, pianus, minor zombies and chaos zakum o.o
i took this drop list from hidden street, they should have updated info i heard =/

@1chidori1
i dont think arans can get ue skills o.o only explorers can so no
@YelloMelloFello

@DSplayer27
im pretty sure lhc is the fastest spot, especially w/ hs despite the mobs being ice resistant. Crockys has the most ppl for you to party with so i recommend there, you can also go w/ your friends and go to another ch once you got 6 ppl.

@johnyoon2004
im not sure, i was away during the last week but i think maple anniversary is coming back in a week o two, most mobs drop maple weps. I do not have a maple karstan and im not in your world, but a clean one should be 10-30m but idk broa's prices.

51Ability point isnt that much and you could always try to get the 130 pole arm.
You need 160 dex for the 130 polearm and it has fast atk speed, im going to get it =)

[quote=ClapTrap]I didn´t know if I should post it here or in the Slinger section but I think that Arans had more changes so I feel free to ask here.
Atm I got a 180 Bucc and it really sucks bossing with him. Any lvl 140 NL can outdmg me (and I really have good equips) so I wanted to go for a DPM class. I´d either choose an Aran (we got PSBs = fast PAs) or a Sair. We are pre BB atm and I just know that Arans just pwn at bosses here in EMS. Wanted to ask if this changes much with BB and I should rather go for Sair.[/quote]

Arans get stronger in BB, but compared to other classes do we fall behinde.
However after chaos will Arans catch up again + we get a new funny play style.

[quote=SnowHowl]How do you get from 61-70 without losing your mind?[/quote]

if you mean places to train, i guess you can do gspq until 65 then either go to the mobs in omega sector, continue gspq but it will get slower, ppq or try jesters at toy room or chimney if your lucky o.O hope i helped

[quote=StarOfDOOM]Say my fellow aran, After the Chaos what stats will we need ( DEX, STR..)[/quote]

As of right now, after the Big Bang, we really only need STR thanks to the new accuracy formula. DEX means nothing right now, since it no longer adds stability.

I've heard that after the Chaos Patch, the accuracy formula somewhat returns to how it was pre-Big Bang.
Here's the difference ; right now, our hit-rate is reduced by 5% for each level we're below the monster.
After the Chaos Patch, it's 1-2% for each level you're lower, and the actual accuracy stat helps hit monsters again.
So, some DEX might be needed again depending on your funding.

@everyone: (& guy above me)
The lack of a combo king medal does not make anyone a less of an aran. You should respect everybody whether or not they are a "bandwagoner". It doesn't matter if you started pre-bb or post-chaos. Everyone strives to play this game for fun and I respect others because of this. So you all need to shut up about your hate towards "bandwagoners".

these answers start from pg. 5. if im missing any more questions that you want answered, dont hesistate to tell me =) alright here goes:

@nyte83 honnestly im the the most knowledgeable person on the chaos buffs, but i do know that arans get buffs to overswing, full swing and double triple as well. Combo smash and fenrir moves down a job level so a 1st jobber can use smash and a 2nd jobber can use fenrir as well as the new attack combo judgement for 3rd jobbers. All aran moves get decreased from hitting 12 mobs to hitting 8 but thats still very good imo, 12 mobs on a single platform are almost nonexistent and really rare. There is also more news skills like combo recharge, which costs %hp and mp and refills 150 combo, swift move at 4th job which allows you to use final toss and charge without using the 3swings first and cleaving atk, which reduces the mobbing penalty and reduces a percentage of defense (?) i think, someone correct me if im wrong =) thats most of the major things i can think off the top of my head.

@aznpride532 in khaini, idk about your world though f6 sorry high mastery20 is around 5-50m i think

@Tabnir i think this depends which controller you are using and your computer, but i think they do work unless its not set up correctly or malfunctioning xD

@stronghor idk.. i job advanced wayyyy before nexon did this T_T.. and idk how to get more besides buying if monsters dont drop, maybe quest rewards? .. really fustrating though, im not entirely sure about this, if anyone has done 3rd job advance after nexon changed maker it would be helpful to know =)

@GreezyGlue im not really a fm person or a merchant so im not really good at pricing..(if your question is referring to if glaives will go down in price after chaos, thats what i think you meant o.O) sorry but i think a polearm is coming out, it has a fast speed but requires 160 dex i believe. I also heard that you need to beat the empress boss to obtain it and as far as i know, it is really hard so maybe glaives wont really go down quite yet but thats just my opinon =0 if im wrong about this, i would appreciate your thoughts as well guys =)

@StarOfDOOM arans will still use str and dex after chaos i think but i've heard about the new accuracy change later on that makes every level=1-3% miss rate instead of 5 if im not mistaken, so dexless might still be the best stat build.

@ResetCrew again, im not exactly the best when it comes to p/cs let alone other worlds, but if i were to guess.. 500m-900m? this is mostly based on khaini though o.O, and also assuming the glaive has no pot.

whew, xD.. answering alot of questions is harder than i thought but i managed, tyvm for you people also helping =) alright, this is it for now and if you guys think im wrong about anything i would like to know =p,

[quote=Hotoshii]OT: I have a 150 att arcglaive with horrible potential (luckily, it's not 1 line); how many cubes did it take any of you to achieve the desirable potential?

Honestly, I do not care for bandwagoners. I would actually like to see more Arans out there. It's not fun being such a minority. However, I would still display my Combo King (queen? D medal.[/quote]

i would be glad to trade me 130 atk 2x hammered glaive, epic (but nly 2lined f4) 6%atk 3%atk for any 145+ glaive, even 2lined no matter how bad the potential is because cubes can reset potentials but nothing except clean slates can reset scrolling T_T.. i'd say if you can somehow afford it to, cube your glaive until you get 6%str 6%atk or better =) it took me around 65-70 cubes to get the potential for my glaive but im still aiming for bossing 30% and unique, good luck =)

@guy couple posts above me about ores, im not sure.. however im pretty sure i've seen ore's drop still so i guess they're still around o.o

To everyone else, if you still want your question(s) answered and i havent done so yet, posting while quoting or and/or mail/pming me will hasten the process, im too lazy to shift through 5+ pages of posts, D=.. sorry -and from now on, anyone may pm me questions, it will make answering easier, but you may post here too if you would like someone else to answer. tyvm for the support guys and i really dont mind pointless posts that much xD.. as long as it doesnt get out of hand, but they do bump this thread so more ppl see it. guess this is it for now =)

hey just one question how to get combo tempest ? and also is there a chance of failing the skill?

Reply April 13, 2011 - edited
iEvanMaster

@TacoLOL: tempest only freezes monsters, and reduces their hp to one. but idk if a dawn warrior killed it before you killed it (when mob is in freeze state) who would get the most exp, and besides you need 200 combo to use tempest which is hard to get w/ a dawn warrior ksing (hits 8mobs at one time and most likely 1hko) so tempest would be unreliable still imo =/

Edit: sorry for everyone who did not have their questions answered yet, and i cant post more than twice in a row so that may be difficult. But if you still want to have your questions answered just quote me and post it again and ill come back to you asap =) tyvm for the support guys, and atm i cant stay on for long but most likely tomorrow ill answer more questions

I dont get the hate towards bandwagoners. I don't blame them for trying out a new class that has new skills and a now considerable amount of damage. Who doesn't strive to be the best?

I actually find it quite flattering that more people want to make arans.

[quote=iEvanMaster]arans are actually one of the worse classes to ks with atm, due to the swings (especially first regular atk) being weak in damage and the mobbing damage reduction when hitting more than 1monster. Final blow takes 3 swings to use, by which then a mech/dw could have 1hkoed or dealt most of the damage already =( but im looking forward to the buffs/new skills in chaos which should make arans on par w/ other classes[/quote]
I saw some guy in fm spamming bear over and over with no swings between. Was he a hacker then?

An aran who has his/her combo king/master/mania medal is a true hero, one who has high spirit, one who has hope, one who is patient, not those who quit for the best, not those who loose spirit when all is depressing, not hose who are impatient, but an Aran with this medal is worthy of the respect of each and every mapler.... :') I LOVE ARANS, THERE THE BEST CLASS, I will love them with all my heart till the end of Maplestory.... a truly wonderful game

real aran enthusiasts are those who've stuck with theirs since the beginning past the crap BB left us with, not those who left their aran to rot after picking up their combo king
