    This is a visualization of the the new throwing star costs per (1) star with attacks.

    I did not add all the throwing star variants because I'm lazy and not good with numbers. Just something I threw together quickly.


    [​IMG]

    Example: Balanced Furies (30 w.atk) = 400 mesos / 1 star
    400,000 mesos / 1,000 stars


    Edit: included old star costs

    [​IMG]

    Example: Balanced Furies (30 w.atk) = 1 meso / 1 star
    1,000 mesos / 1,000 stars


    FINAL EDIT: for the lols

    New NL player here. I've literally just earned a few sets of ilbi and was really happy. Now I probably will have just wasted all my money as I can't afford to recharge the stars and no one will want to buy ilbi anymore. From a new player's point of view, this new recharge cost is an awful decision by the GMs and totally out of the blue.

    I guess I'll have to make a bishop, like literally everyone else on this server, to make some money...?

    I guess its fair, since NL get so much avoid, so we barely use potions.
    So where to get meso sink from NL's? recharge is the obvious answer

    They nerfed avoid, alchemy, pot prices AND recharge price by 400%. This is not fair.

    This new patch in general just has so many short sighted changes by staff. Killed archmages, killed the option of playing assassin for new/unfunded players, encouraged more leeching/more hp washing behavior by nerfing mob drop rates while buffing boss drop rates so more people will just leech so they can boss since farming is less rewarding. It's like they saw problems, and implemented changes that helped reinforce the problems.

    90k to recharge steely,280k to recharge illibi,336k to recharge hwabi That's too much for a new player..We are new and unfunded,this changes make us no money to recharge our throwing star by just killing mobs from ourself...rather just go leech,then what's the point of playing??? Please reconsider this GM...You may change the skill rate or smth but not increasing the recharging rate by throwing star..

    Cant make money as a mage anymore. Pots is barely fundable by the drops you get.

    All in all I was very hyped for this update before it went live, but the changes besides the new client is just garbage. The leech maps for mages at ulu got less spawns now, not only that but their drop rates lowered. And if this wasnt bad enough, the pot prices went up 5x. It really just doesnt make sense to me. Ive got to vote, get lucky in gacha or sell apr to even BE ABLE TO PLAY now.

    Honestly what behind all of that new patch is that the stuff wants our voting that's all. cause they didn't change nothing in gach and nx, they know our only way of making money is by voting, so that will commit peopel to vote more and eventually its more proftible for the real big bosses here. in order to make a diffrent we have to protest !! in my opinion if it will continue in manner everyone will leave ..

    I think if this way it's impossible for new player to play anymore. With the increase price of potion(5x)+ less 20% drop rate + less exlixer drop rate + less spawn rate + drop prices of Chaos scroll. Totally scew up the whole game. Just making it too difficult. Its control only only by 1 way buy in every possibility of saving your mesos now boost up at least 300-500% totally screw up MapleRoyals

    I never thought the reason I wouldn't use ilbis is cuz its too expensive to recharge. Assuming the average player carries 25 sets, it costs 5m just to the train. I have to sell an APR just to play the game. Plus it's actually cheaper to just buy a new set of steelys than to even recharge the ilbis. I don't see any other class having to go through this kind of expenditure. This change just makes it severely difficult to play if you're not already funded and the funded players this change was directed at aren't even affected since they can afford it. There has to be another way to create a money sink without actually impacting the feasibility of playing the class without funding.

    Yeah, this change makes no sense to me. As someone who has been playing this server on and off for 5+ years, I'm at the point where paying nearly 400k to recharge end-game stars is not going to affect me. They're really only hurting unfunded/new people with this change. I don't know if it's possible, but maybe they could base the cost around level instead?

    I think people were more upset about the graphics but it wont hurt old players, they can still make profit from mob/bossing. It might hurt if they made it so you can buy Mw20 for 1.5bil, Gene20 500mil, Gene30 1bil in the fm store. would make it way better for end game and inflation
