Maplestory "High Five" Private Showcase

It's pretty much the same as getting absolabs gear currently. You beat the boss to get the coins to trade in. Personally I don't like this system at all, I wish it was more like CRA is. Not to mention the rest of the set will probably be obtained from beating the black mage or some new boss they add later.

Thats just it though, with Lotus / Damien, you have other methods of obtaining the absolab coins besides beating them. You can either trade 30 of the Demon Spirt Stones (or w/e the one Lotus' item is, energy cores I think?), which can be obtained by just doing dailies; or 1 of the more valuable etc item, which can only be obtained by killing the bosses themselves.

Even if the other methods are slower, they still exist, Max is making it sound like the ONLY way to get Fantasma Coins, is killing Lucid. Unless they changed it recently and made it so you need both types of etc item for the coins for Lotus and Damien as well?

Edit: I am an idiot; disregard this entire post, you need to kill Lotus and Damien for their coins too.
