So, I had previously thought about funding an HP washed Bowmaster, but I've since decided that will be a much future long term goal I will put aside for now. In it's place, I have put together a much more reasonable and obtainable goal for myself. I've read a lot of threads and thought fairly hard over which bossing class I want to make and landed on ... Hero! After browsing dozens of threads about HP washing and Heroes and guides in general I just jotted down some notes on notepad and I'd like to just copy paste them here and get some feedback. ~Notes start here~ MapleStory - MapleRoyals Private Server HP Washing Notes for Hero Why Hero? - Ranged classes require too much investment to HP wash to my desired amount. Heroes require much less washing. They also have some of the best DPS for major bosses such as Zakum and Horntail. They do not have to manage HP like Dark Knights do and as a result are even tankier. I also love swords and how Stonetooth sword looks. Dark Knights overall have a very useful party buff and are better mobbers, but since I will be leeching my Hero with my Bishop the second point doesn't matter. I'm willing to give up a useful party buff for better DPS, better survivability, more range (Brandish has a larger hitbox than Crusher) and easier gameplay. If I go with Hero, I can begin creating my bossing character much sooner and use it to help fund a (possible) 2nd boss character (such as Bowmaster/NightLord) What is my HP goal? - 18,750 HP by level 155. This nets me 30K HP with Hyper Body and is still fairly tanky without it. A very obtainable goal, requiring much less funding and let's me begin bossing much sooner. Doesn't let HB become useless. Can still break 21K+ clean HP by level 200. Relevant Information - Warrior +50-54HP -4MP per wash if using LEVEL UP AP - Warrior +50-55 -4 MP per wash if using AP reset AP Since using AP reset AP is slightly more efficient, it means the method I'll use is as follows: 1) Level up using base Int and/or Int gear 2) Put 1 Pt. into HP to allow the "pool" to be usable 3) Remove 1 Pt from MP and add to HP 4) Repeat until I reach Minimum MP 5) This can be done at any level or point, is not "sensitive" to when it must be done very easy! Minimum MaxMP Formula for Fighter/Page = (4 x level) + 56 Natural HP Formula [{(#JobAdv-1)*325 + Level*66} - 380] Natural HP by level 155= 10,825 Needed Wash HP= 7,925 If using lowest possible outcome range (50 HP per wash) Required washes= 159 Likely will need less than 159, but better safe than sorry. 159 AP resets = 1.43Billion mesos if each is 9M ~Notes end here~ My questions are: 1) Is the information I posted above all correct, if not where am I wrong? 2) What is the recommended Int be it base or equips i should aim for to get about 159 washes? 1 wash per level will come up just shy of this goal, but is this okay? Will I really only need 40 int? That seems too easy to be true. Should I go with 80 Int and overshoot my goal? Thanks for any help!
I think realistically the most HP you really NEED is enough to tank HT touch damage or Pink Bean which a guide said was 23K. If you follow the outline I posted above you can simply perform a few extra washes post lvl 155 with zhelm/dep star or HT Pendant to get over 23K by level 200.
In my opinion, you might as well go for 30k as a hero since it is cheap. Also, as a hero you will most likely be seduce target, meaning you might need to tank the tail and dks are pretty rare.
Thank you for the feedback Jeen. Any chance you could give a guess how many washes i would need for 30K HP by level 200?
