I think Kaede Castle (aka Ninja Castle) would be a cool addition to the server. It was balanced for the "old" Maple, which makes it an appropriate addition.
A lot of the mobs there can make a lot of stuff crash like Scroll for M.Atk Shield 60% and Stonetooths. Not saying I'm against it because this debate can go both way, but I personally wouldn't mind it.
Personally I feel this wouldn't actually add a lot to this game. The monsters aren't that great, neither is the boss. It does indeed drop some nice stuff which only come from gacha now, meaning such items would drop in price a lot if people decided to hunt here. Other than that, it offers a boss which wasn't that special imo. I don't think it's worth the time and effort to add this for the little thing it adds and possibly, the harm it'll do to certain scrolls/item prices.
I don't think this would be a bad addition because the mobs in there are pretty nice, and there was a nice boss in there. If I remember it was a ninja boss not the toad but it was pretty nice exp also. So adding another boss to the mix would be nice also the mobs in the ninja castle are pretty good training spot.
Obviously certain drops would be excluded, like alot of drops were taken away from ToT and Ulu before they were released.
Aha, thanks! So far I like it, actually. I'm all for opening up new training areas that aren't too overpowered or strong, and more late game content is always nice. I'd have to look up some youtube videos of it all (but it's nice to see more of Zipangu being used too)
The Genin (Level 25) apparently drops Yellow Snowshoes and a lot of the lower level mobs drops all kinds of Shield for Atk scrolls of all varieties. This update could be a soft update for introducing new content equipment and scroll wise. Also, I don't remember much about this update, but I highly doubt that the spawn in some of the maps are great. If the Admins/GMs don't have any argument, the spawns can be brought up and these maps can give another great option to people training from ~40-80 because the HP/XP is amazing.
Yes please, this is actually one of the coolest areas I remember. It also has this nice maze mechanic and a very hard but cool jump quest at the end.
Even back in GMS, the spawn rates in these maps were pretty low, getting those special scrolls was not the least bit easy with about six mobs per map.
That's not always a bad thing. Spawn is pretty terrible and it gives a way for people to obtain another end game weapon more easier than usual. IMO Games should be a bit progressive and introduce methods of obtaining potentially great items relatively more easier if demand is rampant.
If Kaede Castle could be an alternative to say... Ghost Ship, I think that would be reason enough to implement it into the game. But that's just me. I hate Ghost Ship- have I ever mentioned that?
Shield for Atk scrolls would be sent plummeting to nearly 1-2m each if this were the case. I'm all for it seeing as it's becoming common fact that Stonetooths are slightly better than Sparta and Shield. Perhaps with the huge decrease in Attack Shield prices, Sparta+Shield and Stonetooth will even out on price vs DPS. Wishful and convoluted thinking, but you can't help but wonder.
I remember that really tedious jump quest with those ropes and shuriken thingies , took me half an hour for the first shot. Other than the jump quest, the Castellan Toad boss was a cool addition. It added more variety to the endgame and even gave pretty good exp, however i never got close to even touching it
I think it would be a pretty cool thing to have for additional content and what not. Sure some things will have to be modified i.e the shield for magic attack... Didn't know that was there. As for the Stonetooth I would definitely like to see that as a drop. In my opinion I think they are a bit to over priced in my opinion. Although that's my bias because i need Stonetooth and don't need Shield for m.a, so maybe that voids my vote toward the castle. As for the jump quest, i didnt even know that was there. It would be cool to have an event the day of release with the jump quest!!
Not a bad idea. Genin's would be a good spot to level from 23-35 or so. Chunin's would be good until you're strong enough to go to GS2, so maybe 50-53 since before then is just CPQ. Jonin's would be an alternative to Wolf Spiders from 75~90 and Ninto's would be an alternative to Himes at 95~120. On top of that Kacchuu Musha is similar to Anego/Bigfoot exp wise, but you'll need to get through a maze to get there, so after BFs/Anego's are dead people who search and kill these are rewarded for their efforts. Toad Boss would be awesome since at high levels leveling gets really slow. Apart from the 2 Zruns/day and the occasional Horntail run there isn't as much stuff to do when you're higher level except to live the grind. The 2 forms of Castellan give A LOT of exp, but you need to be level 175+ to get exp off others kills and with a combined 1B HP it's not a boss you'll be soloing so a 175+ party will be needed. On top of that you need to get through a tricky JQ EVERYTIME you go to a new channel, so I don't think the amount of exp it gives will break the game, if you get a party together and kill it, you deserve the EXP.
If the spawns are good (or modified to be good) and the drops are balanced, I think it would be a great addition. The end-game boss is a nice addition too.
