  Hau, the only Native American Mapler joins another website.
Posted by: Sioux - 2008-07-03, 03:26 AM - Forum: Amherst - Replies (6)

I do doubt I am the only one but, so far I'm the only one that's been loud and proud about it.

Anyways, Hello folks here on SouthPerry.net.

I've been playing Maple since September of 2005 and always enjoyed the game and most things to do with it. Basil was a decent place to buy and trade as was Sleepywood for a time and its many forums and members.

Recently, someone was banned there that had Fiel's name in her signature and something about him having a website. I researched this name having remembered it slightly from Sleepywood or in some random post or thread long before and I like to snoop around now and than to see what's going on.

To begin with I was never in the know about anything and generally kept to myself updated my story thread on SW and posted here and there. Anything about flaming, drama and the inner workings of anything on that site or any site is above me and still is. However, with Fiel's explanation here I think I have an okay understanding of events and am glad he made his own website being in the situation he was in.

I'm also glad to be apart of a newly created Maple site as I'll be a spectator in this whole mess and see how things turn out.

So yeah, I'm new, informed and am glad to be a part of this new venture.

  Enraged Lord Pirate (500th PPQ)
Posted by: sicnarf - 2008-07-03, 03:21 AM - Forum: Maple Cinema - Replies (9)

Hi. This is a video I made back when 500 PPQs were required for the level 90 hat. Y'know, before they made it three-fifths the number of PPQs required and making the monsters even easier to kill.

Anyways, since this forum's feeling slow, I figured I'd post this here to help. xD

http://youtube.com/watch?v=R3LCEusdJHo&fmt=18

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Boring history behind this:
Originally, I had intended to make a video of me + friends killing Enraged Lord Pirate, but that never worked out since there was never a time me and 5 of my friends in the PPQ level range were on and were willing to PPQ. xD So I had the intro and credits pretty much done and sitting around, so I figured when I got to 500 PPQs, I could make a video of that or something, since 500 is a whole lot. And I managed to get two friends to PPQ with me. :O

[SIZE="4"] Introduction[/SIZE]
Literacy is a guild formed by Sal (Fewd) and as of now led by me, Jiraimeep. Literacy is a guild founded with the idea of bringing together people who can type literately. The guild is set at the max number of members, 100, and is looking to place names in the remaining empty slots. We're generally up for anything to our capabilities, which ranges from just about all pqs to paps. We are allied with the guild Mydnight, so don't expect to use the purple guild chat much, alliance chat all the way, baby! Big Grin We do not have a level requirement, all we ask is for you to be literate and not be a hacker/scammer/moron/etc.

Until we were hacked (not by the guild hack, but by someone disbanding us using the former guild leader's account) we were Rank 49 on Scania's Honorable Rock.

List of Jr Masters you can contact:

  Guide to Dex, Base Dex, and Accuracy for Warriors.
Posted by: (D-_-)-D - 2008-07-03, 01:57 AM - Forum: Warrior - Replies (21)

Hello Thar.
I'm Tom, the guy behind TomatoTom in Scania. TomatoTom is currently a 10 base dex sader. I'm writing the guide, not to set in stone a path for warriors but rather something to lend a hand to all warriors: not only to help a new warrior get started but also to help the seasoned warrior to best squeeze those last few stat points from their equip.

[SIZE="5"]
Accuracy Basics: What every warrior should know.[/SIZE]
What makes dex for warriors so complicated is that fact that it can be whatever.
Our equips DO NOT require dex to equips; we want dex for the Acc it gives.

There is a certain amount of Acc you need to hit that monster 100%. If you have less than that, you will obviously only hit a percent of the time.
This amount is determined by the difference between your level and the monsters level and the avoid of the monster.

Quote:Accuracy formula (taken from 十DREAM十's thread):

A = ( 55 + (2 x D) ) x ( E / 15 )
--------- or another way to write it ----------
A = ( 55 + (2 x D) ) / 15 x E

A = 100% hit accuracy
D = Monster level minus Your character's level. If this number is negative (meaning your character is higher level than the monster, then use 0)
E = evasion/avoidability of monster.

That means, as you level, the amount to 100% hit the monster decreases; however it remains the same once your level is greater than the monster's.

As a final word, to help you with your calculations:
1 dex = 0.8 Acc
1 luk = 0.5 Acc
1 Acc = 1 Acc

MapleStory truncates every decimal. It drops the decimal parts or rounds down.

[SIZE="5"]What should I set my Acc goals to be?[/SIZE]
The optimal Acc, in my opinion, is 129. Bone fish, which is the highest avoid that provides decent exp (the bone fish on goby maps), requires 139 Acc to 100%.
With a Sniper Pill (adds 10 Acc), this is achieved.

However many also choose 119 as the end Acc. This also works: it lets you solo the solo-able monsters (duals, Kents, himes), and (even though chained to a priest's bless) let's you party and still 100% hit things like Grims, Bone fish etc.

Throwing out some numbers:
Grims ~ 139 Acc to 100% hit
Bone Fish ~ 139 Acc to 100% hit
Bombing Fish House ~ 125 Acc to 100%
Voodoo/Hoodoo's ~ 80
Fog ~ 73
Zombies ~ 92
Zakum ~ 58 (@ level 140 ~ it's level)
Pap's 2nd Body ~ 147
C.rog/Giest Rog ~ 147
Dances with Balrog's Clone ~ 76 (@ level 70)

Note on Bosses
What the fux? Pap and Rog takes 147? I need moar than 129/119 then.
Well, first of all, Pap's body takes 147 Acc @ level 125, meaning you'll have to wait until level 125 to 100% it anyways.
*thanks to hawktoe for correcting me on this*

The time spent at bosses is nothing compared the time spent on grinding. Just ask your guild or Buddy List for a Apq basket before your pap run.
A basket adds 40 Acc for 10 mins. 10 mins is more than enough to take out the 2nd body of Pap. Just do it. I get about 20+ everytime I ask.

[SIZE="5"]Base Dex[/SIZE]
As I said before, our base dex (as well as total dex) cane be anything since our equips don't require dex to equip.
The best guide one can give another is to plan ahead and pay close attention to how much Acc you have and need over how much dex.

Use an Acc Calculator: My Favorite One
And find out how much Acc you need to 100% that monster @ the level you want to start training on it.
Do this a couple of levels before you actually start training there so you leave yourself time to get the money/equips/stats/levels to get your Acc to that 100% amount.

If you're too lazy to think for yourself, just get 50-60 dex by level 30 and cap (stop putting dex) it there.
50-60 dex allows you (with minimal dex equips) to hit everything you need to hit as well as put you in a good zone to switch over to a rigbol without dishing out too much for Ap resets.

[SIZE="5"]Equips[/SIZE]
A VERY good set of equips would look like this:
Helm: Zakum Helm(1) (scrolled for Acc)
Earring: Dex earrings
Overall: Chainmail or Battle Road scrolled for Dex
Glove: Any glove scrolled purely for W.atk
Cape: Pink Adventurer's (or Gaia) cape Scrolled for Str or Dex
Shoes: Warrior Shoes scrolled for Acc.

These, of course, are for non-rigbol warriors.

Further Notes
Top/Bottom or Overall:
Overall. While a top/bottom gives 14 slots and extra bonuses already, Top and bottom scrolls pale in comparison to overall dex scrolls.
Let's compare:
~10%/30% Top for str/Bottom for dex: 3 str/dex......~Overall dex: 5 dex AND 3 Acc
~60%/70% Top for str/Bottom for dex: 2 str/dex......~Overall dex: 2 dex AND 1 Acc
Thanks to zerox4ever for correcting me on this.

Each Overall scroll not only provides not only more stats but also HUGE Acc bonuses, which are more effective than dex/str itself.

On the other hand, if you decide to use the rigbol sword (requires 120 dex to equip), you'll have more than enough Acc; in that case every dex/str is more impotant than your total Acc. A well scrolled top/bottom can easily provide 10 more stat points than an overall.

note for the higher end warrior
New bottom dex scrolls have come out. These add Dex AND Acc. Since the needed Acc can be more easily obtained through other places, a nice top/bot will provide a extra boost once your warrior is up to that caliber.
Scroll Shoes for Acc or Dex:
To avoid money lost and confusion: Shoe Jumps adds dex; Shoes Dex adds Acc; 100% of either adds no dex or Acc.
My vote is towards Acc. For one it's A LOT cheaper. Warriors are the only ones that benefit from scrolling their shoes for Acc.
Acc adds more Acc than Dex does.
And a lot of jump with no speed will actually slow you done.

If you going rigbol, you're of course gonna have to settle for dex.

A final word of advice, get scrolled warrior once you're level 70 or above (unless you can afford facestompers).
I actually got a 10Acc 3 dex 1 str carzen for less than I sold my 10 Acc snowshoe.

Helpful tips for the up and rising warrior
Here's some stuff you can use when you're low leveled.
Sniper Pills: Adds 10 Acc for 10mins. 500 ea @ ludi or OS pot shop
Pumpkin Spear: + 15 Acc
Fish Spear: + 5 Acc
^^since it doesn't matter what weapon you use until you get mastery, you can use these even if you're not a spearman.
Of course you can 100% a chainmail or raggedy cape for a decent Acc boost for barely any cash.
[SIZE="5"]This is what many people over look[/SIZE]
~Zhelm: This baby adds 39.5 Acc (average). People often forget to factor in the 20 Acc and 7.5 Acc (from the 15 luk).
~A base of 4 luk will also nab you 2 Acc
~Weapon Mastery Adds 20 Acc.
~Of course, buffs: Sniper pill: +10Acc, Bless +20Acc, Apq Basket: +40Acc
(Archer pills/pots/elixirs adds less than 10 Acc despite the tempting name)

  Are any HT groups in need of runners?
Posted by: pso_kik - 2008-07-03, 01:47 AM - Forum: Maplestory Discussion - Replies (12)

I'm a 16X BM, and I spent a good deal of time and money getting there, including washing my HP, but it turns out that the only legit group on my server doesn't need me, and prefers to run with Marksmen. Could any group put me to use so that I may eventually loot a pendant?

And does anyone train on gMS anymore, or is it mostly just Bishop + Bishop parties, or Bishop + Leecher? I just came back from a break, and it seems to be even worse than when I left. If there are any servers that discourage this, I would appreciate knowing about them as well, as this is what gave me the final push to consider moving. I have no problem at all training with any class, but I really mean it when I say NO ONE trains, all of my potential party members are hanging on ropes. I do train with a few odd Paladins and F/Ps sometimes, but I rarely see them.

The only requirement I have is that the runners don't hack or bot (specifically in the FM), only because that kills the whole purpose of a "game" for me.

Thanks.

What is the "Ask a Thief Thread?"

It is a thread (hopefully sticked!) that will allow you to ask as many questions you can ask to the Thieves of Maple. They will try their best to answer your question/concern.

All you have to do post your question/concern. It would be very helpful if the question was to the point, specific, and preferably readable! It's just so that the Warriors can understand you. Big Grin

Example questions:

  • Which attack is faster, Savage Blow or Lucky Seven?
  • Why is Lucky Seven so strong?
  • Should I get Flash Jump or Shadow Partner first?
Basic information:
  • A Thief needs at least 25 Dex points for the 1st Job Advancement.
  • Bandits use Daggers/Shields for melee style fighting.
  • Assassins use Claws/Stars for a ranged style of fighting.

  Ask a Bowman Thread.
Posted by: Jason - 2008-07-03, 01:46 AM - Forum: Bowman - Replies (1209)

Welcome to the "Ask a Bowman Thread!"
[Image: Bowmancopy.png]

What is the "Ask a Bowman Thread?"

It is a thread (hopefully sticked!) that will allow you to ask as many questions you can ask to the Bowmen of Maple. They will try their best to answer your question/concern.

All you have to do post your question/concern. It would be very helpful if the question was to the point, specific, and preferably readable! It's just so that the Bowmen can understand you. Big Grin

Example questions:
  • What is the difference between a Crossbow and a Bow?
  • What should I add my first SP among my 1st Job Advancement?
  • Should I scroll my Heckler/V2k?
  • Should I HP wash?
  • What are the pros/cons of being a Bowman?
Basic information:
  • Before making your 1st Job Advancement, make sure to have 25 AP into Dex.
  • Primary stat for a Bowman is Dex, secondary is Strength.
  • (Cross)Bow equipping:
    • Crossbow- Strength=Your Level. (ex: Level 38, Str=38.)
    • Bow- Strenght=Your Level+5. (ex: Level 40, Str=45.)


Frequently asked questions:
1. What is Final Attack? And should I get it?

Final Attack is a 2nd job skill that takes 30 points to max. It shoots an extra strong when using Arrow Blow, Double Shot, or Arrow Bomb/Iron Arrow at a 60% rate when maxed. Most Bowmen recommend not getting it because it does not activate with Strafe in 3rd job. However the choice of getting FA depends on the person playing the character.

2. What is that super fast skill that fires like a machine gun?

That skill is a Bowmaster exclusive skill. It’s called Hurricane.

3. What is the difference between a Crossbowman/Sniper/Marksman and a Hunter/Ranger/Bowmaster?

Crossbowmen/Sniper/Marksman:-Uses Crossbows (duh).
-Generally stronger of the two.
-Generally a slower attacking speed compared to a Bow.
-Iron Arrow (2nd), Ice Shot, Arrow Eruption (3rd), Pierce, Blind, Snipe, Frostprey (4th).

Hunter/Ranger/Bowmaster
-Uses Bows.
-Generally weaker of the two.
-Generally a faster attacking speed compared to a Crossbow.
-Arrow Bomb (2nd), Inferno, Arrow Rain (3rd), Hurricane, Concentrate, Hamstring, Pheonix (4th).

Those are the basic differences. Most agree that Snipers have the better 3rd job because they are able to freeze. Also with Strafe, the speed pertaining to them before is pretty much gone, but Snipers are doing more because of their damage formula. Bowmasters and Marksmen are pretty even.

4. I heard there are these so called "hell levels". What are they exactly?

Hell levels are basically a certain level arch when training is damn hard. Most archers agree they are the Mid 4x-50 and 6x-mid 7x. These are the parts you'll be either stuck at training spots with a weapon that sucks so you can't move on, or you'll be stuck because of underdeveloped 3rd job skills.

5. Why do most Archers stick with the Red Viper/Heckler at 3x-50?

Because of the fast attack speed. It's the last fast attack speed bow you'll ever hold, unless you can find yourself a decent Blue Metus (Ranger).

6. Does Soul Arrow stack with arrows?

It has been proven countless times that Soul Arrow does not stack with arrows. It may show on your stat screen, but it will never achieve that damage.

7. Where do I train as an archer?

Refer to Retalion’s guide.
