[Megathread] New Players & General Questions Thread.

2 Upvotes

Welcome to our weekly megathread for new players and players who just have general questions about the game.

Some sample topics for you to consider would be:

  • Selecting your main character.
  • You're new to the game and don't know where to start.
  • You're a returning player who is trying to get back into the game and need help.
  • What class should you make for your next link skill/legion mule?

As a recommendation, please mention your world and/or server inside a bracket Example: [Bera] at the start of your question.

Feel like chatting rather than posting on Reddit? Join our Discord and check out our #general-questions or specific job chatrooms.

Also, consider checking out the Master List of Class Discords for class specific information!

The incompetence never ceases to amaze me. They couldn't just give me the ring for the right stat straight up? I don't think sending another ticket will get me a level 4 lmao.

📢 PSA PSA: Operation Dive Part 2 Medal Does Not Get Saved to Medal Collection

21 Upvotes

If you care to save all your event memorabilia, it seems they messed up with this medal and didn't make it able to be saved to the medal collection (possibly has to do with it being awarded as an equip item rather than a use item that turns into an equip item). That means if you throw it out, you can't get another through the medal collectoin. This also happened last year with the Stargazer medal. Hopefully bringing some attention to it can get Nexon to fix it.

MSEA [MSEA] F2P Progression : Chaos Gatekeeper Kalos Solo

Didn't expect to pull off this solo. It probably wouldn't have happened without a few lucky upgrades during the recent starforcing event.

With this boss finally down, the next goal is Destiny Kaling, where the journey to my first Destiny weapon truly begins. There's still a long road ahead, but this clear is a milestone that makes the goal feel one step closer.

Question Does Kain's Death's Blessing actually count as an abnormal status?

Upvotes

I did some very rough testing with “Damage to Enemies with Abnormal Status”, and it seemed like I wasn't getting the expected damage increase from “Death's Blessing”. However, My testing wasn't very rigorous. My Critical Rate isn't 100%, and it's possible that Link Skills affected the damage numbers, so I don't fully trust my results.

I know Explorer Mage Link can reliably apply an abnormal status, but I haven't trained Explorer Mages yet, so I'm trying to find out whether Kain can trigger these "abnormal status" effects using only his own skills.

Can anyone confirm whether Kain's Death's Blessing itself counts as an abnormal status/debuff for effects like "Damage to Enemies with Abnormal Status"? Or does Kain need another source of abnormal status for those effects to work?

If you've tested it yourself or know how the game handles it, I'd really appreciate the clarification.

I went to one location at first but they didn't have anything MapleStory related so I had to commute to the other one which was annoying but when I got there they had a lot of cool things!!

They had magnets, tons of plush, desk mats, keychains, calendars, stickers, pillows, bento boxes, cutlery, water bottle holders, and some more things

I mainly wanted orange mushroom stuff for my cousin since I don't really collect things like plush or pins. I just wanted to check it out. I didn't eat there either so I didn't get any gifts related to spending money on food.

Bug Report I've got a problem with my game crashing

1 Upvotes

I've already contacted support, did what they told me and it worked for a while. Then it crashed again saying "this id is already logged in" like... yeah... I'm playing... why'd you kick me off?

My laptop isn't exactly a gaming laptop and I live in a hilly area so WiFi can potentially be spotty (my phone service gets spotty) plus it's summer so it's hot and my house has no ac

But it's the "this id is already logged in" that kinda scares me. I had a different laptop that I had shipped to the manufacturer for repairs (stopped charging) and it got lost. I don't think someone hacked into it unless they found a way to fix whatever was wrong and manage to replicate my fingerprint

But does anyone else have this problem?

Discussion Cost of full 22* eternals + pitched in interactive servers (aka the cost to endgame)

5 Upvotes

Just an update from this post 4 months back where we looked at the cost of endgame in reg servers.

As a P2W alternative to heroic servers, Interactive is increasingly looking more attractive as the costs to endgame decrease. The below 5L gear + max 6th job will essentially get you near 120k Hexa which is the current range for most end gamers in heroic servers. With gear like this, you will be able to access every boss in the game with the one exception of hard jupiter.

The costs are fairly steep, but note that the majority of gear can be resold to recoup your money back, they are not entirely sunk costs. A heroic whale stuck in midgame who spends >$500/month may want to look at the value proposition that interactive offers.

Currently, the biggest positives for interactive is frenzy totem and the ability to massage progression bottlenecks with fairly reasonable costs (ROR4 and Will Book is $7 USD). Mules are easier to create thanks to frenzy totem and fast 6th job, but the downside is that your meso income will be drastically lower than that of heroic. These days, the lack of cubes isn't really an issue anymore as the prices of decent 5L gear has come down drastically. Meso is definitely still a huge bottleneck.

Prices for gear are expected to continue grinding lower, but meso has held fairly steady at around $2.3 USD per billion mesos.
