For newer players, 3m is actually a substantial amount of money. His suggestion is made mostly to help lower lvl players have easier access to the pq early on. Idk if it was in kerning, i personally tried dojo only a bit after bigbang in old gms so i never noticed it in kerning. But if it was, then sure its a good suggestion
It does seem like higher levels are more informed and have easier access to dojo. Not to mention the belt levels range from 25 to 75. It would be nice to see more lower levels at dojo. But then again, is that some good EXP?
The EXP is actually quiet good 40-75, so long as you're decently equipped, Alishar, Papa pixie, Lord pirate, especially poison golem give very good exp, and even the filler bosses aren't slouches.
they could put it in fm,i thhink it would b e easier to make and kinda de same, of putting in every town
I enjoy how the Dojo is in Mu Lung because it is Mu Lung themed after all and the journey is also fun because you get to explore the Maple World and travel there to participate. If I had a say in it, I'd also make cpq exclusive to Ludibrium but I know that won't happen and we're all used to it being in Kerning City and Orbis as well as Ludi (I'd also make the Ariant PQ exclusive to Ariant but no one ever does it anyway lol). However, I do agree that we should implement a way for newer players to at least be made aware of the Dojo and the prizes you can get from participating in it. My suggestion, instead of putting it in Kerning, add a quest bubble once you're level 25 and have it so that players need to speak to So Gong for some exp, that way, the argument that new players don't know it's implemented is solved and if people truly want to participate, they can just wait out the boat rides instead of buying the fast travel ticket.
The quest bubble idea is outstanding IMO! I'd go even as far as to suggest actually doing Dojo (clearing certain stages) as other portions of the same quest line for lower levels. So while the first stage of the quest line may involve simply going to So Gong/doing something for him, the future stages (which have enticing EXP/item rewards for lower levels) could be clearing stage X, X amount of times, or in X time frame, or with a party including X class(es), or with a party containing X amount of members, etc.
Thats a really elegant solution! The quest can be him challenging you to a 1v1, and to finish the quest you need to do the toturial fight with him. But i do see an issue with it. No one at lvl 25 will have anything to do in mu lung as an area, so they'll travel all that way just to do that quest, then leave again once they are tired of killing mano then quitting every time. Maybr have it a lvl 50 quest with a fitting exp reward, so that a player will have more reasons to go there.
I like the idea of having to travel to the dojo. Making it all instant travel is part of what killed maplestory and the reason why we are all here.
I think it would be a good idea to put them in. The movement around the world has been slowed plenty lately.
