The potential system and selling your stuff/merchanting

Selling unrevealed gear goes well.
Also finding 3 line items with horrible potentials and recubing them does my pockets good.

Hmm that sounds interesting.
Level 50+ gear or any unrevealed gear? Re-cubing sounds good if you can afford the cubes. Do you sell them on the MTS?

true that. 120~ cubes is a yearly subscription cost to WoW, and i know some ppl have spent that much on cubing so far. you can almost NEVER catch up without spending huge amounts of cash, because pre-cubed end game gear is hard to find, so you gotta fund your own cubes with meso (yea, who's going to use the MTS when u can CUBE things instead?) or with real money. you have to farm endless hours to get base money, and merch your way up (again, with cubing gear or scrolling it and reselling, cuz ppl pay only for that now). a mere couple of weeks after i got back from my vacation i already saw corsairs with DOUBLE my range, DOUBLE my dex. and I thought I was average before.

sometimes i wonder why i play this game. maybe it's because i can't afford playing WoW, lack of money and time (didnt spend a dime on MS so far, only a pineapple load of time.)

It sounds like Maple just became a pay to play game. (some may argue it always was.) For sure becoming the "best" hero you can be is not really an option if you keep money out of it. Without real money nor any good way to gain mesos fairly quickly anymore, selling WG won't do it, I feel a bit like I can't play any other way except regular stats. Planning is pretty darn difficult if a Zehlm costs 80mil for a cheap one and you only have 10mil./

you could always uhh... hunt your gear for eternity until it comes clean with what you want? took me and my cousin 3 days to find me +15 dex clean level 100 pirate shoes.

You'd want it to come out already Unique and with the stats you want. The chance of that happening is just discouraging...

3 days is really fast imo. I do hunt for most of my equips. I still need mesos for the magnifying glasses and pots. Like Shidoshi said, it gets discouraging.

This reminds me that they choose not to add the lower pot costs for pots in the lower healing range. That bothers me since it should come with the system too. Sure, you get 10x the drops, but when each drop is barely worth 1 white potion, it hurts those who are starting new once they get past the easy-mode of episode 1. I mean, I'm barely managing on an unfunded BW right now by doing the Pyramid PQ for pots and hoping I don't dc in the process; but without touching the FM now, the low-mid levels are fairly hard to afford, especially so during this event where damage is set reguardless of gear and magic guard does nothing but make you lose MP in addition to the damage.

The thing is, you can call on the help of the whole server for that, and just buy what you need. Low level crappy +% stat stuff is already becoming pretty common in the FM. I have +13% int on my F/P now, and apart from the 6% int earrings I made with 19 cubes, my 2% int overall, 2% int shoes, and 3% int cape were all dirt cheap. I easily have the stats of a decently-geared pre-potential mage already, with +139 int and +65 luk, and almost all of my gear is still clean.

so, how would you go about selling with potential stats clean price-wise?? o.o

i've just come back after 2 yrs..and i'm trying to find a p/c of all the stuff i found so far

If it's +% of a stat, then it's worth a few mil, usually. % earrings are worth quite a bit.

Broke as hell from buying potential/advance potential scrolls. I went from 500mil->14mil in about a month and a half.

If it's +% of a stat, then it's worth a few mil, usually. % earrings are worth quite a bit.

So reveal all stuff before selling? How would you go about pricing unrevealed stuff? Does the level of magnifying glass influence the number of bonus lines? Like using the glass for 120 level always result in 3 lined items or is it random?

Sometimes way more than a few million.
It's almost difficult to overestimate what some are willing to pay for some categories of stuff.

I sold a 3-line 3% INT lvl100 mage overall for 50M.
Also a +60 Accuracy lvl 100 warrior top for 50M. Sold very fast. Probably should have asked for 100M or more.

On the other hand nobody wants my 3-line lvl 100 pirate boots even at 1M.

At above:
I only sell revealed items. When I'm training, I pickup so much stuff I can only keep things that are 3-line and have job-appropriate stats and have to drop the rest.
I doubt that the 120-level glass has any better chance at finding 3-line. Just a waste of mesos.

So I see that the really high level items go for mega mesos. If you can afford to cube that is. Unfortunately, I don't have a character above 50 to hunt in those areas. Thanks for the advice on the magnifying glass.

The potential system hasn't hit JMS yet but I have been gathering funds both mesos and NX, sold all unnecessary equipment and fought back the urge to buy new ones. I also plan on staying away from scrolling any of my current equips (as worthless as they are) until I get a new set to replace it.

When you calculate the odds, it kinda scares you.

love love loveee potential system ;] made tons of money sellin drops with potential ;] upgraded my gear and my total ma went up ~100ma+, without even spendin that much cuz i got lucky in FM buyin my new gears (4% int shield for 50m ahaha ;x) i did boom 2 of my bishop's beloved earrings with 90% scrolls tho ;[

but i still love the potential system.
