According to the thread: https://royals.ms/forum/threads/new-source-bugs-master-list.87288/ Base AP stats get cut off at 999 Not bug. From Kevin, "This is a game restriction, we cannot modify this. Going higher than 999 may cause for the damage calculations to get thrown out of whack. 999 is what official Maple used." Database will be updated to return any AP over 999 to the character. Is the 999 cap for base AP or total AP? If it's for total AP I can see many mages converting to low luk and therefore effecting the market greatly
If we're going by what Kevin said, 999 would be the cap in the base stat cause that's how it was in the original maple
As it says in the text you've quoted, it only applies to base AP stats. This means your base int can only be 999, rather than 1018. It also means it only affects characters that are above lvl 196, so I doubt it will affect the market much.
It's definitely gonna have some effect on the server, the lvl 200 nl's for example would have some extra dex to spare, which would possibly make them sell dex equips they got and market price for some dex equips/scrolls would drop. but besides that, all the lvl 200 ranges are obv gonna change a bit, which we know how much some people are working hard for, so in my opinion, in V62 the cap was 1018 and it should stay that way.
Nightlords can't even reach 999 base luk to begin with, they need a base 25 stats in dex to be a thief, so it won't affect them at all. We've stated that the 999 stat cap is not something we can modify, so how exactly would we be able to keep it the v62 way? Don't forget that you will be able to get items for both your medal and belt slots that will increase your int and luk a bit, which means there will likely barely be any change in your TMA.
Here i was, hyped that the new belts and medals would help me wear sandals (requires 73 luk) without any base luk... rip dreams =(( (and 19 21 magic q_q_q_q_q) b>16 tma clean sandals and chaos scrolls lesgo
I wonder if anyone would try attempting lukless mage using the elemental staves for end game now. =o So many new equipment to add stats now.
I have actually thought about going for an elemental staff instead of wand, but the luk requirement to wear it is just too high. Ele staff 5 is only 33 tma better than wand 5, so unless someone had uber godly chaosed rings/zhelms/belts with near perfect luk, using a staff wouldnt be better than just sticking to a wand
