    First and foremost, this is my first attempt at making a feedback thread using Spoilers tabs. Trying to look more professional when I give feedback! Hopefully this goes right and doesnt look like crap!

    I know this may or may not be overly popular feedback to some, as I believe a lot of the people who would be against this would argue that it makes Maple even more easy. And I would somewhat agree with that opinion. With that said, HP washing sucks. I hate having to do it to feel like im keeping up with the people around me. Hp washing for a lot of people is a huge pain in the arse. Its an extremely expensive and overly janky piece of extra character managing that many DPS characters go through. I understand theres no actual need to HP wash as many classes are fully capable of bossing without a single HP wash. However, lets be real here. Theres a very large portion of the Royals community who do take part in HP washing.

    I would like to request Rex's Earings to be looked at for potentially being added to the game. They're a common earing that comes with pretty mediocre base stats but has the all important +10% HP. This a lone would help towards somewhat reducing the huge burden that HP washing can be on some players and make it a little easier to get more HP.

    There are 3 different types of Rex's Earings.





    These 3 Earings would drop off a quest boss named Rex. Once you're level 75 and do a few prerequisite quests you gain the quest from talking to Robeira a 3rd job trainer in El Nath who has you go to a Hidden Street to kill him, where he would drop these earings and return with an ETC he drops to complete the quest for relatively mediocre XP. I cant be 100% certain but I believe the quest is not repeatable so people wouldnt be able to constantly farm the earings.

    Having these around would make HP washing slightly less burdensome for many players and (For me atleast) dont break the game or nostalgia since they were introduced long before BB. I still remember using these on my BM for our first attempts at Pink Bean. As the Rings show you can Chaos them which means we might have to tweak things a bit, as I kind of remember Chaos's actually changing the %HP so we might need to disable these items from being Chaosable to better balance things if need be. I would fine even if we changed the %HP these items gave if we were worried about them trivializing the game however I dont think this would be the issue. Open to hear anyones feedback if they like the idea, or if you dont how you would change the items, or if you simply do not want the items Id like to hear that too.

    What I do is upload them at imgur and then right click and copy. Then paste it between the spoilers

    Edit: I also feel this is a wonderful idea cause it gives the chance to have other end game earrings besides the anniversary ones

    What if that 10% extra hp and mp were to be changed to just +10 hp/mp? Is is possible ?

    Damn. I think you're right. I believe Rex's earings also had durability which didnt get added until .85

    Having just +10hp/mp would defeat the purpose of the OP's suggestion as that is hardly anything compared to 10%.

    I see now that the OP is looking for this % hp for hp washing. I did not read the entire post, however my suggestion was based on the fact this earring a gives str/dex/int/luk clean which can be a potential end game earrings instead of the anniversary earnings. That was the purpose for my suggestion haha ^_^'

    I'm very much for this idea as long as they are not chaos-able or they have a single slot or sth.

    Shame to hear that +% stats can't be implemented but hopefully someone has a good suggestion on a way to get round this problem.

    Why not just change them to +500 hp or something around there since that's about the average that any person who would need to be using these would get? Give them 0 slots as well so it's literally just for those who can't afford to wash to use.
