Firstly, please note my hermit in question is on a private server I'm using FOR TESTING before making one in GMS. I'm not some lazy tard who's too lazy to level, I wanted to test one at higher rates to see if I liked it. I'm saying this as prevention from the Private server bashers, as well as those who want to compare crap in GMS as everyone but myself loves to do.
Currently level 88, 120 Base Dex, 334 Base Luk, pumping Dex to wear Casters and Osfa set at 90. Server currently does not have easy access to Zakum helmets if at all, but resets are in mesos so I can lower base dex later if I need to.
First Job:
10 Nimble Body
8 Keen eyes
3 Disorder
20 Dark Sight
0 Doublestab
20 Lucky Seven
0 Alchemist
3 Meso Up
30 Shadow Partner
1 Shadow Web
0 Shadow Meso
14 Avenger
7 Flash Jump
The Dilemma: Max everything but Shadow Web and Shadow Meso, and put some of those points into Nimble Body. However, I don't know what to put Shadow Meso and Shadow Web at. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
hey hey i just got an slr and i'm still very new to it. i had a nikon compact before which i used alot, but most shots ended up crap because.. well it was a crap camera. now with my samsung slr i'm really seeing why slrs have become so popular. the image quality is miles above.
anyway. please tell me which photos you liked the most. for the rest which you didn't like, just tell me what could have been done better. for editing purposes (i shoot in raw), it would also be nice if you gave me editing tips.
my slr is just a few days old, so bear with me, but don't let that stop you from coming with constructive criticism.
also, new pics will be added continously! however, i'm on vacation right now, so allow me to relax for a bit to ey ;D
THE CATCH IS: This one's about stuff not done yet... ANYWHERE.
DO YOUR BETS, GENTLEMEN!
Edit:
About the 9th thing: example follows
SKILL COMBOS:
Say, you could fuse one of your skills with a party member's... so you could make a new much powerful one. However, to not abuse them, you could use a new bar, that recharges itself ONLY OVER TIME, and is used more or less depending on the combo used. Of coruse, tweak them for good results.
Examples:
-Dispel + hyper body = SURVIVOR
-increase maximun hp by... 100%. Good not only for ranged people, but also, berserk...
-Pierce + Storm of arrows = ARROW HELL
-That's gonna leave a mark...
-Slash Blast + Flash jump = CANNONBALL
-The warrior LAUNCHES the hermit against the target, dealing insane damage, but putting the hermit in danger... (hermit receives like 10% touch damage only from that single hit, so the hermit... you know... survives :p
This started in 2006 when the old forums were still around on the Maple Story website. In the Scania forum a bunch of people decided to make their own MS area//city, like Ludibrium, Orbis, El Nath, Henesys, etc. So don't you think its time that Maple Story got the first ever user created area? That would be cool wouldn't it? The city is to be named Cascadia, as there would probably be some dispute over the name. (That is how i see it, anyways.)
So in order to get everyones say, i am going to post everyones idea for this new city (Nothing inappropriate please.) and I am going to put down who wrote it (Southperry username , not IGN). Also when posting ideas, please do a grammar/spell check before submitting your idea
We should have a say on what we should get on Maple Story, and this is a great way too do it!
If you are just going to post here and say "The GMs will never listen to this" or along the lines of that, please just do not post. I have no time for people who want to be negative. Even if you do think that that will happen, post your ideas anyways, and have fun!
You know what to do!
Ideas so far:
Geography/Town:
Deep within the Ocean of Ossyria there is a lonely island know as Cascadia. Travel through the ocean to find its hidden entrance. You find a ladder near the surface level of the ocean. Intruiged, you climb it and you are meeted at a lonely map at a base of some lake, complete with a magestic waterfall. Behindthe waterfall you find a opening. You take a deep breath and enter through it. Behold, Cascadia!
(Credit goes too: MechMike who originally came up with the waterfall idea! and to those who agreed)
Quests:
Quest By Validate (SW Username)
Level Req: None.
Job Req: All Jobs
Details of quest: BUFFS!: Something new that would be added to Maple Story would be buffs. You do an extensive quest which requires you to go into the castle at the summit of Cascadia. Upon finishing the quest, you get a special buff skill that makes your character glow. You will need materials for different buffs because the skill gives you a buff but different materials will change the type of buff you get. (The buff will make the outline of your character glow that color)
Red: +20 Dex (Stat bonuses can be edited to prevent overpowering)
Blue: + 20 Str (This is just my example)
Green: + 20 Int
Yellow: + 20 Luk
The materials will be Orbs that can only be collected in Cascadia. You need to collect 100 orbs for one buff that will last an X amount of time.(Probably for minutes).
After you activate the buff on whichever color you have acquired, your character starts to glow that color and you get the stat boost. As you are given the buff, the number of your colored orbs goes down over time. Your character's glow goes away and you have to wait a certain amount of time before you can cast the buff again.

- All bosses involved in the Pink Bean fight have had their magic attack reduced by 170
- The room in which the MR hawk statue bans you to now has an NPC in it. He has a script called "Pink_Been_Out"
- Pink Bean was changed to have a public and "explosive reward".
- A bug in which the 2nd form of the MR hawk statue only having 20k HP was fixed.
- Mini-beans now have the boss flag set to 1
- Pink Bean and the ML hawk statue now cast a different version of
It's stronger now. The HP before was 50% (this shows the HP percentage in which a boss needs to be before it can cast a skill) and the x value was 1500 and the y value was 500. Usually when there's an X and Y value like this, it means health regeneration. Maybe this move is supposed to be a constant regen move?
A new message was added to show to new users:
