Durability issue is killing me.

In my supposed brilliance, I made me a pair of Rex dex% earrings. Unfortunately when I go and solo Body Guard A, B, and the Boss, after about 48 minutes they rings go from 100% durability to 0%, and not only do I lose the 10% bonus, but I lose the dex% also. What is causing my earrings to lose durability so fast? Is that common, or is it because of Hurricane, Self HB, or something like that?

You're getting hit too much bro.

It's because of hurricane. These earrings have 25-50,000 durability, and every arrow of hurricane counts as a separate attack, and every attack takes away one durability. Thanks to that you wind up losing 8 durability per second.

it's hurricane's fault most likely.

I don't think that's true, since it doesn't happen to me. o.o
@ 8 durability per second.

Off topic but, how are you not DCing there? I'm on Vista and I dc 5mins into BGA..

You're probably thinking %Durability. The 8 durability is talking about the actual value of the durability, not the % durability that's left.

it's hurricane's fault most likely.

I thought you only lost durability on armor when you got hit.

when you attack/get hit i believe. mine go down slowly but that's because i'm a marksman.

I actually soloed all of them myself as well. Not sure if its dependent on computer specs or if windows XP runs better or anything since CZak made me crash. However, recently I've been able to solo pap, BGA, BGB, and the boss, without crashing in the middle of the run. Unfortunately, once I click that npc to get out of the room it shows me a blank dialog leaving me to only see the npc there and nothing else. If I hit enter or hit npc chat for yes to get out, my client instantly crashes. I also don't know if the quality of the client does anything as well, since apparently putting your game in highest quality will save you from the dcs at kampung village. Mines are always at highest quality since I don't have a reason to put it on lower quality (seems more like it breaks my computer more or game when I do put on lowest quality).

Concerning the earrings thing, I guess I don't get hit much either,since I just stuck my puppet out there and spam away at the bosses at 410ms spd. Maybe I should test this later, I have to actually hit something right? lol

It does seem to be Hurricanes fault. Especially now with final attack activating with hurricane it goes down even faster. Its not just about getting damaged that I can tell for sure. Bowmasters don't get hit from bodyguard A, B at all, and only get hit few times on last form. Only good thing about it is that the item doesn't dissapear once it reaches 0%, you can just repair it later. Its fine with other classes since their attacks don't count as separate hits.

Like the posters above said, you don't really take many hits in a Body Guard fight because of Puppet. Its basically a one sided affair.

The earrings lasted me almost exactly 6 warrior pots last night, thats 48 minutes of time.

I don't know why I can do those bosses. I certainly can't Zak on this computer. But it isn't without issues. When I fight the Bodyguard my graphics go all whacky. I can't change resolutions, if I try to change the type of pot in my autopot then it DC's me. So I have to either stick with power elixor the whole fight or else ginger ale the whole fight. When I leave the map the background is usually gone and I have to reboot (my computer, not just maple) or else Maple won't load up again.

Try strafing them? Otherwise you are gonna have to get some new earrings bud.

That is kind of unfair. I killed the bodyguards, grandpa, Castellans and did every single Victoria Island quest. Mine did not reach 0% durability.

oh wow. and I was looking to get some rex earring to share between my MM and my future WH. I supose the same effect will happen on the WH so I'll stick to my normal earrings

You shouldn't have that big of a problem with other classes except BM, Corsair, Wild hunters. It goes down so fast for them because its 500 atk + 200 atk (final) per minute. Other jobs should only be doing 140 atk per minute so it will go down about 5 times slower. For me in about 22-23min of continous spam of hurricane (+final atk) durability went down 46%. Other classes should be fine for a few hours without repairing.

wtp was that for? ...

I guess this proves the reason to be hurricane. My girlfriend has the same problem and we couldn't figure out why they would break so fast.

Kinda on topic but how do you guys fight the bodyguard and the grampa without your computer totally tagging and freezing up?

For me I can finish some runs without any problem, but other runs as soon as bodyguard A dies it starts to lag really badly and I disconnect. Same with zak, some runs im able to finish but not others. Seem to work better when I restart the comp right before the boss and don't run any other programs during that time. I'm on windows 7 bit64 system btw.

it depends on your RAM, open task manager and watch maplestory.exe, there's a memory leak the size of Wisconsin that's most notable when fighting summoned bosses
