zakum

so i zakked for the first time today, twice. It was fun. The first time i survived the whole thing and looted a tree branch (cool) and a new zak helm to replace my current one, which wasnt as good. now its a 15/16/15/15 helm, which is alright.

i leveled early in the day at skeles, which was nice. i can sort of train there but its quite dangerous. Then after one of the bowmen from the zak run invited me to go to neo city to use my ring on royal guard type S.

This thing is really mean. REALLY mean. 55k KB, so you have to use puppet alot. Oh and also i did some dojo and got a white belt. Long time till i get the black one though.

fourth job!

ya i advanced early this morning. leveled yesterday but it was too late to do the omgfuckinglongicantbelieveihavetogoonaboatthismanytimes advancement.

heres the party members

i used some potential scrolls on my items, 3 succeeded, 1 failed on my zak helm. I spent the day searching the FM looking for a new one and bought it, but its stats arent as good as my old one. Oh well never mind potentials make stats on items pointless anyway.

Semi fail, im glad that the earrings are epic since that means i can get something real good from them if i keep cubing. Cubing is expensive. EXPENSIVE.

I thought id clear up any doubts about potential scrolls:

Potential scrolls allow an item to be identified.
On that first identification the item is decided whether it is a 3 stat or 2 stat item. This cannot be changed through re-identification.
Miracle cubes reset the identification that you have, but not the GRADE (rare/epic/unique).
Your grade can only go UP, not down.
This means eventually after infinite amounts of cubes, you will have unique items guaranteed.

Hope that answers some questions.

i am the boss v2

I actually started from 101 today, as you see from the previous post. 101 – 108 in a single day, quite impressive .

HP WASHING

Anyway onto my HP washing. If anyone out there is wondering what all the fuss is about, here are the facts:

On average, at level 120 a bowman can wash ~17 times. If you got a zak helm earlier it will be more.
Every whole 10 INT you have whilst leveling up (only when leveling, you dont need to wear it to train) gets you an extra 1MP on leveling. 29INT = 2 MP. 30INT = 3 MP.
Your minimum MP is (Level*14)+148. If your MP is less than that, you cant wash. If it is more than or equal to, you can wash.
You cannot wash circularly, meaning put a point into HP, then taking out of MP and putting it into HP again and so on and so on.

HOW TO WASH

The simplest way (leveling up):

Level up
Work out your minimum MP
Check your current MP
If washing is possible, add 1AP into HP
Reset out of MP and add into the stat you want

The harder way:

Dont level up
Reset out of stat into HP
Reset out of MP back into stat

Harder way uses 2 resets per wash, simplest way uses only 1.

I’m the boss

This screenshot sums up today.

Hells yea level 100.

Also, been HP washing with the giveaway, ill give a slightly more informational post tomorrow but i need to sleep. Its 2:20AM in the UK.

unstuck!

So with todays patch i was unstuck. Quickly hopped on and whored the 120k rep i had collected since Wednesday – used my 2x (and died halfway through, but after leveling so i wasnt bothered) and then a family 2x at…..GALLOS!

Incredible exp, definately can see myself getting to 100 within the next few days. Currently a server check going on to fix a VERY buggy patch of gMS. Hopefully no rollbacks will occur, but with this patch nexon have introduced HYPER drop rates for equipment and meso bags in cash shop. I made this image, quite apt for the situation:

On another note, current viewing numbers are very low. I need to get some kind of patch analysis going on, or bringing information into the blog to drive people to seek out information. If you have any ideas, leave them in the comments!

locked out

I glitched out of maple 2 days ago, and my account is stuck being logged in. I cant play during the 2x event. I am fucking MAD.

yo dawg i heard you like rollbacks…

hit 85 again, and a bonus level for luck!

I went to Typhons today, and it is insane. I met a DK there yesterday, and added him on my buddylist, but due to the rollback he dissappeared. I couldnt remember his name, so i smegaed it and luckily he replied! We met up at Typhons and trained for a while, unfortunately too late to enjoy my glorious 7.2x experience. But its still stupidly fast – a level every 40 minutes!

I forgot to screenshot level 86, but i am about 40% level 86 currently. Another server check was just started so i cant hit 87 tonight….the aim tomorrow is to get 90.

Oh and i rescrolled my 10 atk glove, but again a 90% failed on me. That makes it 2/4 90% failed. That isnt a 90% success rate!

hit 85

argh leveling without 7.2x is slow. i need to get up to 89 so i can gallos leech with my ring before it runs out on the 30th. Should be able to level ALOT when i finally get up to gallos

On another note, i need some advice with my skill build. At the moment i have 21 AR, 5 MB and 20 strafe. Fairly neutral and unrestrictive of where i can train. What next, though? If i go gallos then apparently AR is the way to go, so im tempted to max that. But some puppet will be really helpful there, and eagle would stop me getting hit so much. On jMS i cant remember exactly what i did, which is a problem.

Help in the comments please!

90 percent?!

I tried scrolling my gloves with vegas and hammers, and ended up succeeding 1 and failing the other. That sucks. Ended up with a 12 atk glove, which is okay but 14 atk would have been ideal.

Vending hasnt been going great – the market is so slow at the moment.
