Ayyyoo, I made this account about a year ago.. but haven't really been playing since. Mainly personal things were causing me not able to play.. but I am back and want to play as much as I am capable of (x . Since I haven't played maple for a long time.. I kinda wanted to get into the stuffs I need to keep track off. I am currently a Lvl 45 Cleric and I was wondering if you guys had any "Tips & Tricks" that you could give me. If so thanks alot I will appreciate the help If you are wanting to add me in-game wich would be great ^o^ you could add me on this ign: Piccaboo xoxo
WELCOME BACK! First of all, what class do you want to main? If you want to main an attacker class (NL, DrK, hero, DrK), you'll want to consider HP washing. NL to 9.1k, hero to 20k, DrK to 18,750, and sair to 9.1k. This lets you HT without HB for NL and sair and allows you to HT as sed mule for hero and to Zerk at HT comfortably for DrK. If you happen to want to main a paladin, you don't have to HP wash since most likely, you won't be taken on any boss runs. I'll assume that you're weird like me and main a bishop, but this advice is also relevant for IL and FP mages. Go with a lukless build. Lukless mages are always stronger than luk mages. With perfect gear for both lukless and luk mages, since low luk mages must still put in base luk to equip the ele staff, lukless mages are stronger than luk mages by 4 magic. At level 45, you'll be training at either, in order of ascending difficulty, Platoon Chronos, Master Chronos, Wraiths, GS1, GS5, or GS2. Once you are able to grind at GS2, you'll be staying there until level 75. If GS2 maps are full, go to GS5 and if GS5 maps are full, go to GS1. At GS2, GS5, and GS1, you can stay in the middle platform of the stairs and spam heal, hitting both platforms' mobs without being hit yourself. Once you hit level 75, you'll be going to WS. Get a map and smega R>attacks for WS party. You'll be staying at the top, HSing the attackers as they stop by. At level 85, you'll be going to ulu 2 and at level 105, you'll be going to petris, exchanging HS for free leech from AMs. Every now and then, AMs smega looking for HS in exchange for free leech, but you can also cc through the map you're looking to be leeched at, letting people know that you're exchanging HS for free leech. You'll be staying at petris until level 120 which is when you become a bishop and get Genesis. If you want to work for your levels, stay at GS2 and go duo himes with a CB using Meso Explosion whenever you find a CB partner who is 5 levels within your level. You don't have to worry about the level difference once you hit level 95. You'll be grinding at himes until level 120. At level 120, you'll get Genesis and can start selling low level bishop leech (45m-40m, regardless of map). Most of the time, you'll be leeching at GS2, but other common low level bishop leech maps are Bubblings, Teddies, Jr. Wraiths, Platoon Chronos, Master Chronos, and Wraiths, in ascending level order. Save your money to buy an pass Gen 20. Once you have Gen 20, you'll be able to 2 hit skeles. At that point, grind skeles, sell 2 hit bishop skele leech (45m-40m) when you can, and gear up. I recommend gearing up in the following order: 20 int overall (White Doros Robe, Brown Doroness Robe Bathrobe for Men, Bathrobe for Women), 25 TMA earrings (Fallen Leaf Earrings/Single Earring), 15 TMA cape (Purple Gaia Cape), 5 int pendant (Silver Deputy Ring), 7 int shoes (Blue Jewelry Shoes), 20 TMA gloves (Red Marker), 175 TMA wand (Elemental Wand 6/Elemental Wand 5), 25 TMA shield (Maple Shield), and 8 int eye accessory (White Raccoon Mask). You'll get Zhelms for free when you go on runs (assuming no buyers or more Zhelms drop than buyers who survived, and those buyers don't pay for reloots). Bring scrolls with you to Zak so you can reloot in case you don't like how a Zhelm turned out. Aim for a 25 int Zhelm. You also get Krex rings for free in exchange for giving up exp. Aim for a 3 int Krex ring. Once you have your gear, buy MW 20. Continue improving your gear until you hit 1295 magic with MW 20.Then and only then will you get Gen 30. At that point, you'll be 1 hitting skeles. Continue grinding skeles, sell 1 hit bishop skele leech (65m-60m) whenever you like, and keep at it until level 200. As far as skills, after Gen 30, max Res, then Bahamut, then Holy Shield, then Angel Ray. Get Hero's Will whenever you go HT. I wrote out more or less a general bishop guide, but whatever questions you may have, I'm happy to answer!
Thanks alot! I will take a good read at your guide and probably will later ask some questions .. Tyy for the time you took to make a quick guide :x
I actually did not. Veetrons are level 90, and Slygies are level 95. So at 85, you'll be getting leech from one mob. I assume that most AMs who look for HS in exchange for free leech at ulu 2 are split leeching another character, so the exp from Sylgies would be as if there was one leecher with HS, and the exp from Veetrons would be as expected, split leech. So as far as an AM objecting due to not being official leech level, if they are split leeching another character, it should be fine. I also believe that trading HS for free leech is both easier and faster than a WS party. You could argue the point about trading HS for free leech at WS but AMs grinding or split leeching another character at WS is, from what I see, quite rare. Therefore, I believe at levels 85 through 105, ulu 2 is the most viable.
