*Jr. Newties has a lot of competition from higher level people, especially mage types. So expect... the competition.
*You can leech Himes with Avenger, and a DK/Priest party if you have the connections. It is extremely good experience to the point you can gain at least a level every hour
very easily. However, it is pot consuming, and requires you to know some people.
You can safely train there if you stand on the left platform in the middle section and just snipe the Jr. Newties.
Death teddies are for the upper level 70's. Most preferably a hermit with a level 21 or higher Shadow Partner.

Theres two things about gobies every level 70-80 Chief Bandit must know:
In order to train there, you must have at least a level 1 Meso Guard and a level 1 Mesos Explosion. You will be using Mesos Explosion to train there.
If you are in a somewhat crowded server, everybody above level 100 will hate you for being there, hogging a Goby map and will KS your brains out until you leave.

Yes, I know exactly from SW, but Its very useful. Don't worry, Ill touch it up tomorrow morning to make it look MUCH nicer.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I don't like my first name, I'm 20 years old and I'm from Mexico.
I've been playing MapleStory for about three years now, in that time I have raised a level 100 STR Chief Bandit. Used to be in Bera, but a friend bought one of those NX Cards to switch to Windia. I've played mostly every class up to level 40, except Fire/Poison Wizard. I'm eager for the Pirate release, having a level 10 Beginner ready to become an Infighter.
Besides playing games, I draw, animate stuff and am studying something that's related with computers. I really like using Flash, I've made a couple of frame-by-frame animations and programed some stuff in it. My Deviantart page. I'll post most of my animations and other stuff when we have a right section. But for now, one of my favorite animations and this one.
I never really asked this one, not that I recall, though I have shoved my views in others' faces... so here's the question.
With the release of 4th job, and skills like Sharp Eyes, Hurricane, and Snipe, has the bandwagon of players flocking from other classes affected you in any way, shape or form? Are you losing training spots to them? Are you finding yourself lacking motivation recently? Have you noticed others treating you differently for being a bowman?
Personally, I have no problem with people playing what they want to play, but the bowman bandwagon sickened me to the point where I almost quit my hunter. I've gained a whopping 4 levels (more like 1 from training, two from being begged to CPQ, and one because my girlfriend was playing my hunter) since 4th job came out because quite frankly, I can't stand it. I remember when people talked to me just because I was a hunter. I remember back when people thought bowmen were nice. But now....
I look around, and what do I see? Bowmen everywhere, with sauna robes and brown work gloves and snowshoes and brown bamboo hats, promptly being replaced by Zhelms at level 50 exactly. I see pricks tarnishing the bowman name with KSing a-la-sin-style, people cursing me out because "You're a nobody until you can be my SE mule. And quite frankly... it's driven me to the point I've wanted to quit my beloved hunter entirely.
Has it affected anyone else this negatively? People tell me to stop whining and get over it, but is it so hard to have people not peach at me for not having SE at level 47? I mean seriously.....
Today, I was questing with my friend at Mountain Slopes, when suddenly everything I said in 'All' chat that was more than 3 words in length would appear as a 3-5 digit number instead of what I typed in. Party, Buddy, Guild, and Spouse chat worked fine.
For example, I would type "Where are you?" but see my character say something like "37721" instead. This didn't happen only to me, it also happened to my friend. Everything she said that was more than 2 words would appear as a number and I had no idea what she was saying to me.
We decided to just talk in Party/Spouse for the time being and wrapped up and headed to Vic to do a jump quest. Midway through the jump quest, however, we could talk fine again. Meanwhile, I asked another friend to try saying stuff in 'All' but he claimed everything came out fine.
I'm just wondering if something like this has happened to any of you. It's entirely unbelievable and I don't know what caused it nor do I believe I can replicate it but it happened.
Here are a few screenshots I took:
Spoiler
I would've recorded a video of it but the thought didn't occur to me at that time.
