v.157 - Shining Star Update Notes

Anyone getting kicked out of the client when you land on the world select screen?

Does star force destroy items at every tier level? I think I remember it not being able to destroy items at less than 10 stars? I can't exactly afford to get another empress weapon, so if it explodes, I basically don't have a weapon ever again, but I don't want it to be stuck at only 5 stars.

Safe up to 12 stars, even after, it's a 1% boom rate.

When you put your equip in the enhance window, it tells you exactly what the chances are of success, failure, de-rank, and boom. Also tells you the cost and the stats you will gain. So you don't need to memorize a table, just to read what's on your screen.

0.7% boom rate for 12->13, if that makes anyone feel better the numbers in the charts are rounded

I hate this range nerf on Blaze Wizards. I enjoyed being able to mob all over the map even when it was at low levels and now it's like I'm 2nd job again. It's such a god damn pain.

The new Star Force maps seem to be pretty good exp; may even be superior to Evo World.

I'm getting ~10% per 1-2 mins at Warped 4(14k exp/3m HP) with Kishin on a level 110 Lumi.

uh I am, do you know how to fix it?

How many Star Force are needed to kill things there?

Sadly no, gonna reinstall the game when i get home later. I heard for some people you could still get online via gamelauncher in the maple directory but didn't have time to test it.

Warped/Forgotten 1 = 25 SF
" 2 = 25 SF
" 3 = 26 SF
" 4 = 27 SF
Passage = 28 SF (spawn of 5 or 6 GKs/Thanatos ~18k exp)
Papulatus = 30 SF

Feels like the pre-nerfed Corridor 6 when I add in Rune EXP buff.

I can't enhance my gloves... they have an MEE star despite the fact that I've never used an MEE on them, and the fact that they were never even released.



I think it might be because the AEE gave me 2atk, which might lend to the idea that they tried calculating old enhancement stats (and labeled all anomalous ones as MEE)

Wow that paladin nerf is real... My friend hitting 15m on statues and 6m on PB, dat hurts dammit

@CM_Artasi said the issue is being looked into (for blue stars), so this was obviously a glitch

Seems probable? I have Sharktooth gloves scrolled the same way, 9x +3 attack. It had 5 stars on it but was 32 attack still; and I was able to enhance it up.

Really wondering what the threshold or trigger conditions are for it to set it as "a MEE'd item".

Is anyone able to confirm/deny any of the claims in this thread? I know it's basil but I'd still like a more concrete answer before I end up wasting my runs/bringing mules for no reason. Specifically the posts from wiltung (whom I don't really believe) and Biccy15754.

I tuned into Bryan's stream for a few minutes and saw that he didn't get any pants from Pierre but that doesn't really say much.

I have some blue stars on my equipment too and I never used any MEE's. I did use some of the RED scrolls (+9 w./m.atk) which is very for a scroll with a success rate of 90 or 100 percent.
So, it does not necessarily mean MEE-only.

The loot is not instanced anymore. Went along with Bryan during the stream, we saw the same pirate hat drop.

Are you just scrolling trash equips with the trace 70%s (I think that's the lowest, don't remember) and starforcing them or did you already have decently scrolled items beforehand?

Was the Paladin Nerf really that bad? :S

Damage on endgame bosses halved and a loss of 1 extra line of damage.

So paladins are pretty much hitting 45%~ of what they were doing before. (or something) I haven't even tested it out yet >.>
