Reverse don't though. Long as you're equipping 5 timeless per day, you're getting more charm than 2 zak solos @ 3 helms each.

Although, you can only equip the weapons of your own class (hurray for being a warrior and being able to equip half the timeless weapons in existence!), and once you equip them you can't sell them. Or can you? If an Alchemist fuses two untradeable timeless weapons, is the result, being new and never equipped, tradeable? (Although you'd probably want to equip it for the charm, anyway).

I'll only be doing PvP until I reach the required limit to qualify for the Maple Marathon Event. PvP doesnt interest me at all.

Do you even get charm when you equip same type of equipment again? So you can get 100 timeless swords and each of them gives you charm?

Yes. I do Zakum a lot just to equip and toss the helmets. Level 20 Charm now.

as carrion said, yup, and if you are an alchemist, you can equip say, 2 swords, fuse them, and equip the third sword for even more charm.

Yes.
I regularly zrun and "try on" all the helms that drop. Each one gives me 50 charm. Note that un-equipping and re-equipping the item doesn't give any more charm. I don't know whether, if I karma the zhelm after having worn it, and give it to someone else, the other person will get charm from it again.

If I got 100 timeless swords I would probably rather try using them to make meso, though. Charm seems like such a useless trait. Cash shop emotes I can do without, and what's the best item you can wear in a pocket slot, anyway?


Age of Battle Q&A with nexon(full interview inside) - Grey - 2011-07-20

Charm is only awarded to the first person who wears the equip.

And, there's a pretty nifty book you can wear in your pocket slot that you can get from PvP.

It's 5 to all stats, 5 atk/matk, and +3 PvP Damage.

5 all stat and 5 attack that no one without the pocket slot can have. (which is a lot of people)

While hovering over the Charm thing, you seem to have 16 empty boxes. I wonder how many pocket slots you get at level 100 Charm..

If the drop rate is worth the ticket price then I'd consider this as a "charm farm" but I'm really not seeing the ability to use it that way. You'd probably be better off getting hair coupons then relying on waiting a specific drop or two for your job to get charm.

??? Hair coupons are like 2k+. One of these should be 500 for an hour and a half. If the drop rate is as high as they claim it to be, putting on equips is going to out rank hair coupons in charm gain after 3 equips. You can probably get 3 in half an hour.

before we procceed, i must note that you guys seem to start to actually believe the "insane drop rate" do not forget this is nexon we are talking about, you have been warned, don't get mad when these plans do get shot down

this has been a PSA.

Like I said, we won't know until the drop rates hit. I'm not negating this yet, I'm just waiting and watching patiently.

Edit: Just for reference, you're spending 2k+ for 180 charm with Reg. Hair Coupons.

Scratch that thought then.


Age of Battle Q&A with nexon(full interview inside) - Locked - 2011-07-20

No
REG hair coupons are 90 charm, VIP are 180 charm.

really? and here i thought ANY change to your hair, vip, reg or royal would add the same.

Oh, thought they were the same then. Thanks for the correction.

Alright, it looks like this event is shaping up to be a better deal than I anticipated. <3

Blades4hire Wrote:[16:10] <NX_Eurydice> The drop rate will be higher than it has ever been for any mobs in Maple history!

Yeah, I don't think they exactly meant "highest drop rate for any equip in the game ever" here, just higher than what Maple and the 120 weapons usually have had during events. ._. Even if they had the average post-potential equip drop rate, it would still be really good for the Timeless ones though.

I assume the drops go like:
  • Monkey: Level 35 Maple weapons
  • Goblin: Level 43 Maple weapons
  • Mirror Goblin: Level 77 Maple weapons
  • Mirror Monkey: Reverse/Timeless

If only mages reverse gear raised charm exp..D:

I'll prob be doing it for the chair only..and maybe to make godly mattk shoes/gloves. May level my 79 Bam there also, same with DBer for Mask

Fixed. The notes clearly state that only level 35-64 maple weapons are dropping.
