[NosTale] Wish I had this kind of luck in Maple...

I was killing Rammers (they look like red-furred Big-Horn Sheep. They're not in the picture.) for a quest, and decided to kill off a few Koaren Swordsmen because they were being such a pain in the rear (because they're auto-aggro). One of them dropped...



Let's put this in Maple terms to allow non-NosTale players (which should be just about everyone) to understand just how shocked I was to get this.

Imagine killing a monster and getting a weapon; let's say...a Devil's Sunrise. It's already Unidentified, so you go ahead and identify it...and you get an extra +40 WA or so off of it.

In NosTale, that extra +20 to all Damage types is nowhere near as extreme as +40 WA in Maple, but it is just about the best type of bonus you could get to your damage in NosTale. Notice that "Rare Level: -1"? That means that whatever stats it has in the yellowish text is below average. It could have been so much better, but it's already good enough at this point given that this dagger MUST be forged or hunted; it cannot be purchased from NPCs or obtained from Missions.

Anyhow, I decide to live with it until I manage to hunt another one. I fail to hunt another dagger. I go check a database and find out that I can forge it, so I go gather the materials to do so and forge one. So what am I to do with this below-average dagger I have? I gamble with it of course! NosTale has an NPC that can change the rarity of equipment, but it's extremely unlikely to succeed in doing anything apart from breaking your weapon. I give it a try, and...



FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

IF ONLY I HAD THIS KIND OF LUCK IN MAPLE!!

p.s. Yeah, you can see just how retarded I currently look in the pictures. Can't wait to get a better eye accessory (those glasses give +10 Ranged Attack). =.=

The translations... is this the Global version?

Anyways, personally I think it's too easy to upgrade stuff in NosTale. Though it's harder to get uncommon bonuses, most of them are pretty useless or they hardly have any affect at all.

Yeah, it's Global. The devs obviously didn't really give a flyin' damn about their grammar.

Kevin: I await you in the last room of Time Space. Let's settle our revenge!

What.

As for upgrading, every single piece of equipment I gambled on so far failed except for that dagger. I think they reduced the success rate; I remember succeeding in Equipment Gambling a whole lot more before I last quit NosTale.

p.s. Very old player here. I first played on the gamengame (?) server; the original global server.

Hmm... they might've changed the upgrading rates. I played when the UK version had just got out of open beta and was able to get all of my level 3x equips to +5 Legendary with like... no money.
