Video

Not everyone is top funded and might want to see a video longer than 20 seconds to see how it can accualy be done as a Phantom, so this video goes to those unfunded people... Videos is surposed to inspire, help and guide right ? (also to amaze, but this will come later as my range improves). My new Phantom char was about 2 weeks old here.

Info: Tempest Patch 0.85.1 (Phantom), Recorded 29. December, Europe Maplestory Kradia Server.

[quote=HorrorsLove]More like you don't know terms. Even ABR counts as funding. Learn how the game works.[/quote]

ABR can be found at MDT's quite easy, the ores can be grinded really really easy by just spending a few hours each day for a week to get the crystals for it. And in EMS we got other rings that basicly makes ABR useless.
By your logic, even a 200k meso Necro weap from Hilla is "counting as funding". But everything counts as funding of some kind yes, but its the range/value of it all that determins if your output range. You could put 10b fundings into a weap, and still have TERRIBLE dmg cause the items alltogether is still less than spending 100m into an all around set item.

50m dosn't make you go from "poor" into "semi-funded"... it takes MUCH more than just a single "useless" ABR to mae you semi funded.

Perhaps a thing to add: GM scrolls in GMS is 400m'ish(?) untradeable, while in EMS they're 1m to 10m only and tradeable cause of Veracent boxes. So a 32 att glove and a Gm scrolled weap (not phantom weap, but normal adventure items) is still being unfunded in EMS since you can perfect scroll a claw with 10m in scrolls, but its the potential stats what makes it good and takes the funding. In the video i had a level 100 Tempest Cane with 6% Luk (took me 3 tries to get this from pure coins and no fundings spend on it at all). It's also about which version you play.

And i can tell you that in EMS an ABR is litterly useless, it's only 35-50m meso or there about (already made, ready to equipt it). We got Tempest rings, darkness rings (all level 98+ rings for best potential). Grind the darkness rings and fuse them and hope for 3-6% luk which ain't to hard really, and get 3-6% luk on tempest rings from getting the free coins. and do monster park for 3-6% each item, scroll your weap+glove with max 10m fundings (or grind the scrolls while you're already grinding the darkness rings). do all the link skill chars + max level cygnus. it's not really that hard to get ~50% luk and kinda good attack (250 att) without spending more than a total of ~50m meso. And remember, i have my Hyper skills which adds +50 luk and many other good stats.
I doubt anyone would agree that 50m counts as semi funded in ANY version.

I think most ppl consider themself "funded" or "godly" while do litterly do hardly any damage, ofcourse everyone who have the highest amount of damage within their guild/friends will think that they're godly cause they haven't been involved in the higher tier pro funded groups so they will never know what FUNDED means or GODLY... whats funded/godly is what you see from KMS youtube videos hitting 100% damage cap, people need to stop calling themselfs "funded" or "godly" when they're nothing more than avarage/semi-funded in my oppinion

[quote=Spir]I do Meso guard for the spcific reason that 1/1's wouldn't leave me with 1 HP and 1 MP, so if sedused you wouldn't die from the rocks if you get 1/1'd cause you're still left with 50% hp (Would be ~9k hp left) while Magic Guard would leave you with 1 hp and 1 mp and you would die from 1 more hit. And rage wouldn't increase the damage that signuficantly.
So all in all i go for Meso Guard for survival over damage, this ain't a damage showoff video but how to survive and perhaps get some tips to be able to do it. Yes a phantom doesn't get hit much since the class got 90% evade (also known as "Fake" or "Shadow Shifter as Thiefs)... but INCASE you get hit you DIE! This video is made from a 100% success way of killing it (done it so far ~80 times since this video without dieing).

I kill Tail (20k dmg, which is 10k with meso guard) and Leg first (~12k dmg?, which is 6k dmg) to be able to walk safely at the bottom in seduse.
I didn't state "poor" but "Unfunded", theres a big difference. Poor would have a hard time getting past the first 100k Mille limit, while unfunded will be around 150-250k'ish depending how much % boss they have. Only the funded and top funded would hit past the 500k which really takes alot of efford to achieve unless you spend all your spare change of real life funding on Cubes
Unfunded can be alot of things. My attack range in the video was about 45-55k or something, which in itself is avg'ish in itself.
You also need to take into consideration i have ALL the link skills EMS currently had in December including level 30 Blessing (24 Cygnus + 6 Noble Mind) which requires 0 meso to get. Thats about ~50k of the damage.

Remember, theres a difference in being lazy(no link skills or buffs) and just being unfunded(working hard for your dmg without great funding)!
Note: I will show soon what i mean in the difference of Unfunded and Funded in an upcomming video [/quote]

[quote=boredtodeath555]If you ask me... You have the wrong idea of what unfunded means... This would count more as semi-funded. Unfunded = no funding = holds no valuable equipment.[/quote]

I beg to differ really, my level 130 GMS Phantom with absolutely NO funding, NO link skills, NO cygnus blessing got a clean range of ~11k or so(17k selfbuffed without pots and only level 10 cane mastery if i even got that high), items is barely scrolled with anything, hardly any potential stats (we're talking a total of ~15% from ALL items bought with 2-3m meso here and there when i could afford that high)... and that char is more poor then a person living on the street. Thats about ~25k range at level 200 without ANYTHING else than the Luk from the levels and the cane mastery alone!

Poor = Clean items where half of em is with ~3% luk and perhaps 100% scrolled (100k each scroll) ~20-30k range'ish
Unfunded = 3-6% items, one 10% scroll + 4-5 of 60% work, and ~13-30% boss from InnerAbility+PlayerCard+DemonSlayer Link + various other link skills ~35-55k range'ish
Semi funded = 9% each item, weap is half finished with GM scrolls, other items is kinda okay scroll ~60-80k range'ish and 46%-60% boss in total + some PDR
Funded = 9-15% each item, weap is GM scrolled with Gm scrolls, other items is almost done (scrolled with 2-3 luk scrolls each item), 60-90% boss dmg (30% cane + 30% card + 6-9% from player cards + 10-15% from inner ability + 10% DS link skill) ~80-110k range'ish
Godly = 15-21%+ each item, 90%+ boss dmg + all link skills and all 2/3 player card sets with at least level 120+ chars on all. beyound 130k+ range (clean, no pots whatsoever)

Yes i mean poor got 3% on half the items... we're not talking about a level 50 char here who just started but a level 195 (onehundredandnintyfive!)

In the video i had about 71k or 81k range on apple (45k or 51k clean range), and i have all the link skills possible, all skills maxed, level 30 noble mind which is purely grinded before the char was made (which takes 0 funding in itself). And if you remove half the link skills and lower the blessing to a normal level (level10? which is lvl50 cygnus) then you see i got about 35-40k range left which is in the lowend of "Unfunded" in what my idea of unfunded is.

But maybe it's just me who thinks theres a difference in "Beggers who leech to level 200 without ANY meso" and "Poor new ppl accualy TRYING to grind their gears + make a few things/meso by accualy picking up a bit from the monsters they kill"

[quote=mtta]Ah , didnt think of that cuz i have yet to get 1/1 from HT (he`s my main source of exp) , i actually barely get hit (maybe 4-6 times during whole fight) but then again im kinda heavily funded. Killing him takes me ~4min. Good guide.[/quote]

Yea, i was purely doing it the way i did to avoid getting those high hits and IF you should be 1/1'd (not everyone got high avoid) they could survive it ^^
Hehe yea, same here now. About 4-5 minutes now with pre-heads and wait time for spawn and all.

A new video is uploading right this moment, but I doubt that one will be frontpaged since it's not exactly meant to help the low funded people.
It will be live in ~15-20 minutes at: http://youtu.be/9SibBP1bpTg for interested people

You can get past 200 with supreme world? They'd better bring this to GMS!

[quote=Oshawott]Oh then wouldn't rapid fire from the other side of the "lag spot" be better?[/quote]

As long as you ain't hitting dmg cap with rapid fire or 700-800k+'s with mille and got 85%+ crit, then rapid fire would be a good choice yes! But only on pre-heads or last head at HT. I picked Mille at pre-heads to get advanced blessing for more HP and being able to kill the blue/black wyverms which dispells without having to sacrifice hitting HT at the same time (still messed that part up a bit thou). And i had Tempest which hits as fast as Rapid fire do half of my attacking time (and it's a mob attack), so it wouldn't really be THAT much better, only slightly. it's really a matter of what you like and prefer
Hitting 2 targets with mille out damages Rapid (Beside ofc. super defence up where 1 target takes 1 dmg hits only).

[quote=mtta]magic guard + rage instead of Meso guard would be better imho (at least its what i use for better dmg) . Also HT is good exp so its good to switch combo with hs on pre heads and use HS for main body (less dmg but 50%more exp!). Nice vid nonetheless[/quote]

I do Meso guard for the spcific reason that 1/1's wouldn't leave me with 1 HP and 1 MP, so if sedused you wouldn't die from the rocks if you get 1/1'd cause you're still left with 50% hp (Would be ~9k hp left) while Magic Guard would leave you with 1 hp and 1 mp and you would die from 1 more hit.
