I'm currently aiming for the Swift Soul, need shards and the thing that makes normal weapon into soul weapons :X

[quote=OmegaXz]So try to collect Empress if I want higher Dex (what do you mean by pot unless you mean potentials which isn't that something else in general?) I have no idea what you mean by skill, didn't know souls had skills.[/quote]

You could also collect Magnus souls. Magnus and Empress have the same stats I think (+24 dex + 20att for the Swift one when fully charged). When a soul is fully charged up enough you'll see the image of the boss floating above your head. If you look at your beginner skills there'll be a skill there you can use. I think the Magnificent ones allow you to summon the boss for a short duration and it'll help you attack and the regular ones just have a one-time instant attack.

I've heard the Dex Soul is better to use than the Attack Soul.

[quote=IHurtzLotz]@OmegaXz: magn souls of any bosses are like a "pot" as in they can give boss dmg or pdr. Also magn souls have different abilities or better versions of the normal ones[/quote]

Thanks, I think I have a better understanding of Souls!

[quote=IHurtzLotz]if you're planning to use soul just for the stats, go for emp as it gives you best stats? like normal ones the dex/atk/str if u are going for pot, go for any of the higher tiers. If your are going for the skill itself go for PB or emp for mobbing or panda for dmg.[/quote]

I searched for hours to find a complete list of Magnificent soul stat possibilities. I was thoroughly disappointed when I did find it though. If you need crit you can get like 12% but all the other options are so low they are not worth getting.

[quote=OmegaXz]I recently came back to Maplestory, and just recently learned about the Souls, I was wondering which Soul should I aim for? I've noticed a lot of people use Magnus, or Hilla, (don't know W.Atk or Dex either). If you have other suggestion let me know so I can try to collect the shards.

[quote=cuzneck95]Murgoth soul's aren't obtainable anymore.[/quote]

They might still be around the free market though.

[quote=twopointonefour]Be wary that it will cost you many billions to get a magnificent Cygnus/Magnus soul. You might instead want to save for a Swift Murgoth soul.[/quote]

Get a magnificent pinkbean soul.

[quote=OmegaXz]Thanks Jaffah,

In terms of DEX, Swift Magnus and Swift Cynus souls gives the most it seems, I'll aim for the Swift Souls if not I'll just get Magnificent Cynus.[/quote]

[quote=Jaffah]it depends on how much %dex and %atk you have on your equipment, but in general I think dex would be more beneficial
endgame souls would be any kind of Magnificent soul as the bonuses they provide are far greater than normal souls
yes, you can only have one soul on a weapon[/quote]

[quote=OmegaXz]There are different souls, so I should aim for Dex as a bowmaster and not actual W.atk? you can only have one soul at a time on a weapon right?[/quote]

[quote=Jaffah]I think dex is more beneficial for most people? Also you can add Pink Bean and Cygnus to your list of souls to collect as they're both summons, Hilla is by far the easiest to get though.
Magnus souls only provide a summon skill if they are Magnificent, which is insanely low chance to get and gives stats from a random list.[/quote]
