xstarmage The MapleStory Community Hello fellow Basilers, I am currently taking a class focused around the question "What is a Community?" at Dartmouth College. The professor asked students whether it is possible to have a sense of "community" online. I would like to get the input of fellow Maplers about whether online communities can exist and, ultimately, whether MapleStory has been able to become a space for community for players. Personally, I've really enjoyed my time as a Mapler (starting in 2006). My brother and I started playing at the same time and found a guild in our world that we both joined. Since then, we've bonded closely with the members and have kept in touch over the years. The members used to spend hours on end

xstarmage What is the quotGame Updatequot for? So I've seen people talking about the past patches that have taken a long time (I started in 2006, so I know the culture), but when reading the summary on the official website, it seems that this is just a massive maintenance. They're just fixing up their mistakes and calling it an "update." Anyone know if there is anything new?

xstarmage Mage Damace %int or %m.att Hi guys, so I have a question about Mage (I/L in particular if that matters). I am going to try cubing my equips later today, but I'm not sure what I should even be aiming for. Should I aim for more %INT or %M.ATT or even %Total Damage? Is there a certain balance? I am looking for more training damage, rather than %Boss, by the way. I hope that helps. Thanks!

xstarmage How to get Riding mounts like wtf So today, I went on my Paladin trying to get the Hog/Silver Mane/Red Draco riding mount. After doing the first part of the Kenta (Hog) quest, I received the perfume to go to Korean Folk Town. When I tried to teleport there, the maps are just... gone! XD And gosh, I don't even mind paying the 20 mil for the perfume, it's just that it's stuck in my inventory -_- Such an eye-sore... Is there a way to get mounts right now, or do we need to wait for Nexon to finish renovating the maps?

xstarmage Paladin Training/Bossing Help Hey guys, I just came back after a 1.5 year break for a visit until my senior year starts (in 1 month). I have a Paladin level 160 with a buffed range around 85k. Do you guys have any tips on where to train and what bosses I can take on? I was thinking about Horntail, but I haven't done the pre-quests. Do you still have to do them to fight Horntail (and if so, are they still tedious)? Thanks Basilers :D

xstarmage Average ranges for fellow I/Ls Heya guys, I'm lvl 185 atm with 21.2-28.2k range on my I/L Arch Mage I'm wondering if this is decent/average. I know it's not above average because I see many other pro Mages, but I want to see if this is decent. Btw My base luk is 103 so that is probably one factor to why my range is bad

xstarmage Bowmaster Skill Allocations So I have a level 164 BM atm and I've read a couple of threads about SP. Most people say Broiler shot is a bad skill, but it basically boosts your Inferno damage by more than 20% (taking into account of the actual % bonus and the DoT boost). I was wondering if it would he alright to max everything except elite puppet since it's just extra hp and a little more damage. I know that I can do whatever I want since it's my character, but I want the General Opinion from Basil.
