    Default Maplestory

    I saw the onrpg thing with the Bl0nde dude.. And how is this game? I do remember playing it back in 07, and iirc, it wasn't that great.

    Before I begin to download this, based on seeing videos, its an alright game, but I want my fellow onprg members to tell me what they think about Maplestory.

    (And if you guys want to make a new account and play with me IF I consider to play it?)

    Don't forget that if you use a Legends character and level them up to 70, you get EXP potions that can boost any character from 1-70 or be used as extra exp. Got a Cannoneer to 87 playing casually in a few days (they are awesome btw). They are also tossing in free 1.5 exp boosters to help and a reusable VIP teleport rock that can take you to all of the major continents.

    The event also gives out some decent equipment, scrolls, etc. you can exchange for coins as well as free standard full equipment sets for all jobs. They also improved the crafting system considerably.

    And because of the event, there are giving everyone a character slot booster. Even if you don't want to play as a Legend you can use it for another job type which is great, though if all you want is just some extra storage space I'd suggest a Cannoneer because they get a passive skill that allows them to carry extra items right off the bat.

    Final thing, the 2nd Legends Character, Mercedes is coming out tomorrow. Looks to be pretty interesting akin to a ranged version of a Dual Blader.

    Weird lagspikes, hmm. Has this always happened? Checked the forums for any news? I am from the east coast and manage to get by rather finely.

    Holy crap ! With that, would it be able to skip 2 job advancements? I'm not done downloading yet, but with 22 minutes to go, its a challenge accepted. 1-70 today, and 70-100 2morrow. Hopefully 7 hours a day will help (:

    Oh but you must, playing alone is horribly boring. You know you want to play.

    How about we all start on Windia? It's fairly populated so we won't have trouble finding parties or a guild to join.

    Edit: I was playing around with the character creation and was shocked to see they expanded the starting options. There's twice as much customisation now, you can even get a lollipop or microphone as a starting weapon.

    Well I mean you'd still have to actually do the job advancement quests at level 30 and then again at 70 with your alternate character, but yeah, you'd basically be skipping out on all the leveling needed to reach 70 by using the bottle. The bottle contains the full amount of exp needed to level between the range it specifies and each time you use it the bottle adds however much exp you need for your TNL.

    If you level up a bit first on the character you want to use the bottle on (say level 10) then use the bottle to reach level 30, all the exp you would normally have to earn to reach level 10 will still be in the bottle and can be used as extra EXP until it runs out. Kinda like rollover minutes in a cellphone plan.

    Understand though, you have to actually level a Cannoneer (or another Legends character when they come out) to level 70ish to get the EXP bottle (there's actually two you get, one for leveling from 1-30, then another from 30 - 70) As you level up a Legends character, there's a meter that appears on screen and shows your progress toward filling it up. Any quest exp you earn also counts toward filling it up.

    Two important things though:

    1) The EXP bottle can be used on the Legend Character who fills it up, but after it is traded to another character on your account you cannot trade it back to that Legends character.

    2) I believe only one character can participate in the Legends leveling event per account, and if you delete that character, you will not be able to gain the EXP bottle on another Legends character. I do however, believe you can make Legends character who is not participating in the event in case if you want to try them out first, then use the one you like the most to earn the EXP Bottle.

    Short notes version:
    -You have to use a Legends character to earn the two EXP Bottles (LV 1-30, LV 30-70)
    -You still have to do the job advancements on any characters you level up with the EXP bottles. (They made the 3rd job advancements super easy now though)
    -The bottles can be given to any character, apart from Legends characters.
    -The bottles can't be traded back to the Legends character who created it once given away but can be used by them if it's in their possession
    -The bottles do not have to be given to the same character.
    -The bottles can be used by any character for extra exp until the bottle runs out of EXP (the total being the amount needed to level from the range they specify 1-30 and 30-70).
    -You can only get each bottle once per account, even if you make a second legends character (a separate account can have a Legends character and participate).

    Hope that helps. Enjoy the event.

    We are playing NA MS, which I think is the global version right now.

    Edit: Does anyone have any Dry Treats? I spent almost all my money going from town to town looking for it.

    I made a wind archer so it would be nice to find a person to play with cause archers are a little slow to level solo.

    Maplestory is ridiculously easy now. I came back after a few months. I decided to make an HS mule so I created a cannoneer on a second account and got him to 70 in a day. Used the exp pot and made a priest to 85. That's 2 third jobbers in a day.

    Made another cannoneer to 70 in a day on my main account. Leveled my dawn warrior from 60-120 in two days. (using the exp pots).

    Got my Chief Bandit from 100 to 110 in 3 hours. (2 hours at captain with 2x event/hs mule and an hour of mpq)

    The game definitely had a large improvement. What still ticks me off is the super OPness of every new classes that comes out, the massive mesos inflation, (due to dupers) and it became a cash for damage game...

    Alright, I'll be on later tonight then, once I get home from work. I'll probably be rolling Cannoneer, so I get the xp pots for another toon aswell.

    Before "easy mode" kicked in I was having a hard time getting to lvl 40-50. Comparing Maple then and Maple now, Maple now is fast and easy. I got 4th job on Bishop in 1.5 weeks playing casually. And that's the part of me who had trouble getting to ~45 before "easy mode".

    Also Bishop is a great class to start with. You don't need any funding at all, parties are constantly hunting/searching for Bishops for grinding, boss runs. Your Holy Magic Shell, HS, Bless/Adv. Bless is the only thing you need.

    You can spend the rest of the time farming ores/herbs in the map you are grinding or browsing the internet. Bishop is easy as pie to start with and the perfect class to start funding your next DPS character.
