Things to do before Big Bang

Every book normally dropped by zakum, pianus, or papulatus will be inflated.

I've kept pianus MBs for the past...several years (ex: monster magnet). My mule consume inventories are filled with rare but worthless MBs and...

Maybe theyll go back up in value but mobs will start dropping the lv110 armors so maybe not. Stocking up on MORE elixirs from Nibelung before this comes in case I have to redo the quests to fight it.

...power elixers.

Some skillbooks will be insanely hard to get.
I have yet to find any Snipe 20 or Pierce 20 in FM at KMS (havent checked the past few weeks)

At the beginning of BB, SE 20 and 30 were difficult to obtain but not necessarily expensive. The wild hunters came out and they inflated like crazy.
But anywho check out the drop list here and you find out what skillbooks will inflate. Keep in mind what Alex123123 said. Lots of 120s will rise, most wont be able to kill 140+ monsters yet they those are the only monsters that drop certain skills.

Hoarding SE might be a good idea. MM MBs were rare to begin with and I probably won't find a cache in three weeks ._. I wouldn't do that to fellow lolmarksmen anyway...maybe I'll target NL MBs :grin:

Go get your Quest specialist medal if you're close.

Got it the day it came out

Brandish 20 (which turns into Brave Slash 20) was really hard for me to find once Big Bang came out in KMS. I think Brandish 20 is pretty rare even before Big Bang though...

Prolly some of them around from people who farmed for Tornado Spin 20. Will check.

Maple Hero 20 may be a good one to buy and resell. I hear it drops from Blue and Red Dragon Turtles after Big Bang.

MW20 deflated massively once big bang hit, so yeah.

I don't get the point of buying something that would deflate rapidly...

Do Piece of Time prices go back up since less people can train in ToT?......I hope so becuase the 2.5mil current price in Windia is bull pomegranate

It's about the same in the larger JMS servers (3m a piece); they've shot up hard after potential hit.

One think I can think of: Buy lots of staves and xbows.

Hold onto guns, staves, and xbows you find, especially if they come clean with decent potential.

People have started doing that since rumors of resistance classes in KMST; a bit late for it ._. Did end up getting more guns and xbows than average from the visitor event; will hold onto them till BB.

Do your Saint Exorcist Medal.

I simply don't have enough equip slots for four more medals...hopefully I can complete it post-BB (and there'll be a "medal" inventory by then.../hahaohwow.jpg)

Maybe thats because no one bothers to pick up Marksman Skillbooks. That was the case in GMS when we first got 4th Jobs. Took me ages to get a MM boost 30 because the people who Zak'd didnt bother looting it. One friend said he dropped like 20 of them

This I wholeheartedly agree. Took me weeks to find one only to buy it for 99k

Wait what? Why would this happen? As far as I know Aran books still drop from Zakum (unfortunately). Besides, zakum will be piece of cake after BB, no?.

I believe Mastery Books will stop dropping but Skill Books will continue to drop. Quests to get skills was removed (you start off with the skill when you change jobs).


Thanks for all the good advices I'll start researching mastery book, xbow, stave and gun prices. Might start farming pap for books. Please keep on suggesting things to do while I buy enough owls to fill Hogwarts
