GMS Unleashed - bugs and problems

No, additional options don't give bonuses all that big, (you can get 30~60 stat above average, which is pretty major, though, and a ton of attack as well, so the bonuses are pretty major, I guess). Miraculous Equip Enhancement scrolls are probably a pretty big thing in terms of damage addition, but if you look at videos around the time Unlimited was released, they were already doing like more than 1m, before they had time to flame their stuff, and Miraculous Equip Enhancements weren't even released yet. I would think those people were always that strong, it's just that the damage cap was severely limiting for them.

People are mostly against Additional Options, I guess, I don't want to pigeonhole people, but because if you want to add it to your old stuff, you'd have to flame it, and when you flame an item, it incurs a trade limit, after which an item becomes permanently untradeable. The limit is also imposed on all equips over and including 140.

I guess it must've been the miraculous equip enhances that made everything so ridiculous, then. I'm a little bit sad to not see the additional options, though, as I rarely trade anything. I decided quite a while ago that it's far too costly to play more than one character in Maplestory if you care at all about your damage numbers. I really do hope something bridges that gap, though, since that sounds like at least 1000 mainstat for people that care. Assuming that works with percentage bonuses, that could easily be 3000 or 4000 more for a really devoted player.
