Making mesos. Spoiler: Meso Making! Before I get another further, i'll just quickly write a checklist on what you can do to make mesos. Trio Duku Leech Nerfed APQ Farming Stoppers Spoiler: Trio Duku Leech NERFED Trio Duku Leech As written above one of the best way to earn Mesos is always investing your time into Selling Leech! But in this section, i hope to share the best way of leeching in the year 2020 & 2021. Widely known as TRIO DUKU LEECH. Trio duku leech in market right now is 75mil/slot, and you can sell up to 3 characters. 75mil x 3 = 225milThe most beautiful thing about Trio duku leech its the low TMA requirement. Ontop of that, genesis 30 & telecasting are not required!! This might get nerfed later in the future Monster : Duku Level : 115 Level to leech : 110 Destroyed Park 1 will be the map that you will head towards to sell this particular leech. You require some basic multi-clienting skills so please practice a few minutes before selling the leech. What do you need? x2 Archmages with 873 magic attack x1 Bishop 1190 magic attack [Genesis 20] / 1135 Genesis 30 magic attack [Genesis 30] To create 2 archmages, you can either grind them up yourself or buy leech until lv130. That should only cost you around 4bil for both. I highly recommend the fire poison archmage class simply because meteor shower is super easy to unlock compared to blizzard. You can even enjoy mist training as well after your third job advancement, which is currently one of the best leveling technique from lvl71~120 only second to shadowers bombing bigfoot. Spoiler: Mist training Heres a video i found on youtube on regards to mist training. Its very old though, not sure if its playable. i'll maybe use my fp to do an example one day i guess? Use Poison Mist and train at Petrifighters at : Singapore: Ulu City Center. Just ensure you can hit the mobs with your initial Poison Mist, they will then be poisoned and their HP will deplete with poison. Poison mist damage is based on the percentage of the monster's HP, not your Magic stat, so you can take down high HP mobs. Any monster who's fully poisoned will be left with 1 HP so you can kill it with explosion. By the time you max Poison Mist, as long as you hit the monsters, they'd all be left with 1 HP eventually which makes it possible to kill them; at lower levels of Poison Mist, you might have to do several rounds of misting before they hit the minimum 1 HP. Add 3 to elemental amplification to unlock seal and spell booster. Get spell booster to level 11 as soon as possible for the level 3 magic attacking speed (letting you cast poison mist even faster) and leave it at 11, since it only extends its duration after Then max elemental amplification so that you do more damage. Would be ideal to use elemental wand 2 (Poison) Using this method is probably the fastest & Cheapest way of leveling compared to any other classes, such as Chief Bandits Mesos Explosion on bigfoot. A lot faster than buying leech as well Yes it's pretty taxing on the Potions, so make sure pet auto pot & Exp Charms are ready. It will be wise for you to save a map with Telerock @Petris, and you won't waste time traveling in case of death. That aside, 4th job quest. Meteor is a lot easier to obtain which only requires you to talk to NPCs back and forth. compared to I/L's Blizzard. Hunting Cold Heart usually takes 3-4hours. Took me 3H (I have a 2 I/L Mages and half the day to complete both) wanted to kms after I should write Fire poison archmage guide too Instead of me writing paragraph after paragraph on how to do it, i'll just make video with my low level mages and show it to you guys, so watch it two times All mages will be required to 2hit the monsters, you will kill around 25-28 monsters per respawn EXP Gained by each buyer 3 way split should be around 40-45mil depending on their level. Yellow = Bishop Red = Archmages Green = BuyerHow to do it efficiently? Place all Genesis/Meteor/Blizzard at your comfortable button, for me its spacebar, but honestly any button will work. Hold down Genesis and click three clients one by one. Having done this, you should somewhat be able to recreate something like such! Tip : keeping your archmage level as low as 130 as they will give your buyers more exp. Get a everstone so they retain their low level and the demand for your leech will likely improve. If this gets nerfed, getting them ready for ToT farming (pink bean soontm) & stopper farming might be recommended. Spoiler: APQ APQ is also one of the easiest meso making methods you should not be missing out on in MapleRoyals. It involves party play, allows you to make good mesos, and overall fun! Each character can do it 4 times a day and since there's already a whole bunch of guide written out there. I don't think i'll have to write another one! Heres a super well written one by @Aelyssia >>APQ GUIDE<< I highly recommend you giving APQ a try if: you are above level 40 and haven't arrived at lvl120 you are currently selling low level leech hate selling leech prefer party play the minimum level required is Lv40 for you to begin this PQ, so marrying a pair of your characters would be a good idea. Wedding tickets have a 50% discount during the valentines day event! If you happen to be enjoying the game during this season, do not miss the opportunity to get this cheap deal! APQ during non event season roughly gets you 5-8 apples / 4runs During Valentine Event: 10-15 For mages be extremely careful during the boss stage. Since Geist Barlog dispels, mages will very easily lose their Magic Guard! Mages usually can't hit the boss anyway so i'll recommend the player just holding down Magic Guard throughout the boss's 3rd form. (unless you are already washed) Monster : Geist Balrog Phase 3 Spoiler: Stopper Farming Busy with work? Studying? Pro Multi-clienting skill while bossing? Slacking off in free market? Put in the extra effort and bring your mage to the stopper maps! Stoppers are a potion that gives 60 weapon attack for a minute and thousands are consumed by players everyday! It is definitely considered one of the highest demanded item in the game! Before you farm, make sure that the skill bahamut is unlocked! It's popular to farm on two or more mules for more meso per hour. Summon skills that are commonly used to stopper farm Bahamut (Bishop) Phoenix (Bowmaster) Frost Prey (Marksman) Ifrit (Ice lighting archmage) elquines (Fire Poison archmage) Octopus (Corsair) All you need to do is switch your summon skill on and loot every 2min 30s (Drops will disappear in 3minutes btw) The more stopper farming mules you have, the better mesos/h you'll receive Each stopper goes for around ~390k each (17 feb 2021) Credits to my guildie, the owner of this image @Ivan Chavez CWKPQ + Stopper farming Clapclapclap! How do you get to the stopper map? Give it a try yourself! It's really simple! You can easily push beyond 200mil+/hour if you have 10+ stopper clients farming at once. Might be a little straining on your computer though! Gearing Up Your Bishop! One You have reached Lvl 120 onwards, you will want to start Gearing Up & Washing. Spoiler: Gearing Up! Equipment!

Its cheap and honestly pretty good, they will probably last you until lv120. A real subpar one will do. I do not recommend you to get anything above 200mil if your planning to spend! I strongly recommend a player to use as little funds to get to 120. I highly recommend spending the saved up mesos on purchasing leech from 110-120. Around 350mil if you are buying trio duku leech!

If you made it here, please share with me your adventure of royals in the comments! HP Washing With Dispel Mechanics in Neo Tokyo contents, Auf Haven & Horntail. HP washing is definitely a good investment! It makes your time in bosses that dispel so much easier. Spoiler: Washing 5.5k+HP allows you to enjoy every content available in MapleRoyals, Period. (With the release of Auf Haven, it is alot more difficult to simply survive with 5.5k HP.) Feel Free to leave a comment or inbox me if you have any questions! I'll do what I can to help! Usually, an unwashed HP Bishop will Have 18xx~24xx HP After Advancement. My advice is to start washing after LVL150. HP Washing Goals 5500+ HP, 18,000+ MP Part 1: More Mana Pool! Step 1 - Add Fresh AP Into MANA This will Give u an Additional Amount of MP into your Base MP StatsStep 2 - USE 1x AP RESET , Minus Mana Stats into INT. If you Notice Carefully, u Would have Gain a Small amount of additional MANA @ this step.Step 3 - Repeat For Moar MANA!!! Part 2: Transfer that Additional MANA into HP Step 1 - Add Fresh AP Into MANA This will Once Again Give u an Additional Amount of MP into your Base MP StatsStep 2 - USE 1x AP RESET , Minus Mana Stats into HP. U Will Gain An Certain Amount of HP by Losing some of those Mana Stats. You Can keep repeating Step 2 until ur ideal HP and Continue Step 1 to gain back that lost mana pool Step 3 - Remove The Additional Fresh AP u added to Mana Pool to add back into Int Will not lose additional Int Stats, And Have More Mana Stats basically.Once you're finished with your HP Goal, Suggestion to wash to 18.5k Mana Where you will have 30k MP With HB for Maximum Efficiency! A Really Short Video of Transferring MANA into HP! (I Probably Didn't Explain Part 2 Very Clearly so Here you go a video ) In This Video I only Have 1 AP into MP You Can Transfer as Much as you like From MP to HP as they share the Same AP POOL Spoiler: Video Spoiler: HP/MP Details Fresh AP MP Gain : Base INT/10 + [30] [30] =MAX Improve MaxMP | [20] = lv0 improve MaxMP Fresh AP HP Gain: 6~10 Reset AP MP Gain: 30, 20 with MaxMP Increase at lvl0 Reset AP HP Gain: 10~20 (Average 15) AP reset MP Cost: 30, 20 with MaxMP Increase at lvl0 AP reset HP Cost: 10 Assuming 1APR = 15mil 1HP = 1mil Mesos ------------------- The year 2020. I'm pretty surprised how messing around with HP Washing turned out for our current Bishop Meta! I already had this tested in the year 2019, It's a little difficult to explain but I'll do my best to share it. I didn't plan to write it out but here you go. it's pretty broken. Spoiler: New Washing Method, Work in Progress New Bishop Washing method This should be done after you achieve your 1hitting goals, perhaps to 1hit Skele with 1291 magic. Since additional Magic/Int is a complete waste. Funded players or Ulu Farmers can do this at an earlier stage. You will start off by adding your fresh AP into MP and leave it there. yes, you heard me. leave it there. Why? We'll be using a little special trick here today. By removing Max MP Increase from level10 to level0 To completely remove Max MP increase would cost you 100mil (20k NX) You will only lose - 20 mp instead of - 30 mp for every APR when transferring MP into HP. (10MP saved Per APR) Heres a Video Example Check out this thread I made with @sparky95 here for more details. ----------------------- Spoiler: Example Example Bishop Level 150 Bishop 2400HP 17000 MP fully equipped, Genesis 30 & MW10 Magic with MW10 = 1261 (+Gizer = 1291 able to 1hit Skele) From lv151~lv180 adds all AP into MP without removing them. At around level 180 Bishop reaches 2500HP 30,000MP with (150AP inside HP/MP Pool) Bishop then -MAX MP increase skill to lvl0. Spend 500APRs to gain an additional 7500HP, -MP and add into HP The amount of MP Spent to transfer for 7500HP gain is 10,000MP instead of 15,000MP Currently, Bishop still has 30 Level worth of AP (150AP) inside the HP/MP Pool. He will then -150AP from his HP/MP Pool back into INT. (-150AP from HP/MP Pool = 3000MP, since -1AP = 20MP with the effect of lvl0 Max MP Increase) End result. Bishop Spent 650 APRs to obtain the total Magic his suppose to have, and achieved his HP Washing goal of 10k HP He transferred a total of 13,000 MP out of his mana pool during this entire process. Saved a rough amount of 6500MP Lvl180 : 10,000 HP 17,000 MP He then SP Reset his 1st job skill Max MP increase back to lvl10, Continue leveling towards level200 MP wash diligently by adding 5AP into MP, then -5AP back into INT. Bishop eventually gain another 13k after MP Washing for the remaining levels. Ending up with 10,000HP and 30,000MP at lv200. Step By Step to wash to (Funded Players) : 11000+ HP, 30,000 MP Spoiler: Step By Step Step by Step Once you reach lvl120, +MP -MP into Int until lvl155 After lvl155 Step 1 - SP Reset & Minus Max MP increase to lvl 0 Step 2 - Minus MP into HP goal. (If u do not have enough funding to achieve HP goal, you can wash again at a later level, step 6) Step 3 - SP Reset and Max MP increase to lvl MAX From this point continue to level level, Every Fresh AP should be added into MP, once you reach 29.5k MP Step 4 - SP Reset Minus Max MP increase to lvl0 Step 5 - Minus MP into HP (10k) Step 6 - Minus MP back into Int Step 7 - SP Reset Max MP increase to lvlMAX Assuming APR is 15mil each for easy math 1HP = 1,000,000 Mesos 10,000HP = 10,000,000,000 Mesos Step By Step to wash to (Extreme Funded Players) : 30,000 HP, 30,000 MP Spoiler Coming Soon Example Horntail Guide Currently this still a Work in Progress, but I’ll do my best to share the techniques. Meanwhile, this read is more oriented for Bishop Users, Its content will share more in-depth mechanics, Animation, Timers and of course one of the most important yet missed Mechanics, Dispelling. Spoiler: Horntail Bishop Guide Preparation 1. Recommended Bishop level 155+ (Washed) 2. 1k+ pots (Power Elixirs or Ginger Ales are recommended) 3. Pet with Auto HP/MP 4. Pet Food 5.

With 2.7 billion combined HP, she’s the highest HP out of any boss in MapleRoyals And yes Horntail is a Girl She drops an Egg and spawns baby Wyverns. Party Lineup in the Year 2020 should remain usually as such x1 BM x1Bishop x4 Attacker x1 Each Supportive Lineup -Bishop (Healer) -Bowmaster/marksman (SE) x4 Attacker Hero - DPS Corsair - DPS Night Lord - Seduce, DPS Shadower - Seduce, DPS Bucc- DPS, Speed Infusion, Time Leap Dark Knight – Hyper Body Paladin - Total Crash Current New Source Horntail Requires DPS classes without additional survivability skills to have 9800 Bishops can be at base unwashed HP, 2200+, meanwhile washing is recommended to ~5500 ---------------------- Expedition Overview Horntail Signature skills you will get ready to face -Seduce -Dispel -Darkness/Seal/Weakness Seduce will be on the first person that enters the map Tankier Attackers will be 2nd to follow, and finally, BM/bishop to be the last as Death from these 2 classes will impact the run so much more. Entering Priority: 1. Shadower 2. Highest HP, Warrior/NL 3. Pirate 4. Archer 5. Bishop Cave of Life: The Cave of Trial I Spoiler: Prehead1 PreHead 1 : 330,000,000 HP The Bishop Should Enter the map First and start the party Creation Bishop/Crashmule should climb on the ropes once everyone is ready and spawn the Horntail Head. Melee Attackers can clear spawn Bishop can jump off the rope to clear spawn ( Do take note of Seduce timers Still) Seduce of Prehead 1 starts with 2min, then 3min for the next seduce continues with 3min interval Average Party Should take ~10mins to kill Get Ready to cast Genesis When spawn animation Happens Spoiler: Seduce/Spawns Animation Cave of Life: The Cave of Trial II Spoiler: Prehead2 Right Head: 330,000,000 HP Compared to prehead 1, The Next Map Main Seduce Target will enter first and follow the Entering Priority Bishop will head to the lowest platform. Seduce of Prehead 2 starts with 2min, then 3min for the next seduce continues with 3min interval Inform Seduce Target to move to Rope during the 2min mark. Spam heal on seduce. Average Party Should take ~10mins to kill Get Ready to cast Genesis When spawn animation Happens Spoiler: Seduce/Spawns Animation Preheads in horntail are just a simple warmup for the party Both preheads should take a total of ~20mins to kill In Mainbody average parties takes around 45~50min When Entering Mainbody, Please respect the Entering Priority. Entering Priority: 1. Shadower 2. Highest HP, Warrior/NL 3. Pirate 4. Archer 5. Bishop ---------------------------------------- Cave of Life: Horntail's Cave Welcome To Horntail. Players that attempt this boss. This is the most favorite attraction of Royals, Almost 20 Horntails are tackled daily. Mechanics, Killing Patterns might differ, but I'll share with all the experience that I've practiced, Mastered throughout the years of Horntail Re-Releasing in New Source. Level: 160 Total HP: 2,730,000,000 To Begin This Boss, Attack the purple Crystal at the Right of the map After the Crystal is Destroyed. Horntail will be summoned. For Mages, Magic Guard should be active at this point The Moment Horntail's HP Bar Pops up. GFX (GFX is no longer needed) Spoiler: How to GFX? This is Fixed in Update #65 ------------------------------- Horntail's Legs Spoiler: Legs Level: 160 Total HP : 130,000,000 HP The First target that should be taken down will be Horntail's Leg. Which does a Stomp Damages up to 9.8k and Stuns the Players? touch damage is around 13k Above Attached is the Animation for Seduce**. Horntail Seduce Starts at 2min , 3min After the first seduce. Seduce Target Should quickly get on Rope before he/she gets seduced, Holy Shield is Recommended to be used immediately when Horntail Spawns! Holy Shield has a CD of 2min, meaning to say, Seduce will Strike when Holy Shield becomes available again. If Sed Left (<) , Jump (^) Bishop Should be Spamming Heal To Keep Seduce Target HP at 100% If Sed Right (>) Towards tail, Seduce target is required to will immediately. DPS class position themselves and quickly Kill of Legs. The legs are pretty squishy if everyone's appling. Probably most of the time, there will only be 1x Seduce. ------------------------------- Horntail's Tail Spoiler: Tail Level : 160 Total HP : 80,000,000 HP Do not touch the tail it deals around 28k damage to the player. it Does a Tail Slam, And Pushes players back into the left. Seduce arrives at 5min mark. which mentioned above, 3min after the 2min (First Sed) Seduce target hangs on the rope The main killer of this Part is when the Seduce Target is Sed (>), it will do a wooping insane damage to ur Seduce target Usually classes like Shadowers / Warriors will be able to survive. If Will is not available, The Possibility of death is really high. Maintain DPS and it should be killed roughly around 6min. Fast parties usually is able to kill before the 5min (2nd Seduce) mark! Legs & Tail To sum up the mechanics of these 2 parts are fairly simple. Make sure Seduce is Healed to full, When Seduced Right, Hit the Will Skill. If Seduce target is Forced into walking towards the tail, Be it MP Drain and unable to will Or Seduce right twice. Bishop, do not try tanking the Tail. Use Ress the Moment Tail dies. Kill it ASAP. DPS Class popping Apples are suggested here. ------------------------------- Horntail Wings Sorry I can't find a bigger picture for this Spoiler: Wings Level: 160 HP : 270,000,000 Horntail Wings are Simple! Just like Tails, It does a good amount of damage when it flips up and touches your DPS. There will be times that your DPS members die from this. but as a bishop. Touch Damage is not one of your major concerns. There is a Summon that they do to be disruptive to the run And this animation will Summon Cornians, Green Cornian Starts Spawning at 90% HP Dark Cornian Starts Spawning at 60% HP Wings will start to Heal 150k~190k/Each at 30% Horntail part. When it's healing this amount. Make Sure Holy Symbol is applied to all players . This is not an issue for the runs, Wings Does Heal the Horntail itself, but the amount is not very significant to worry about. Only Concerned ones should be the DPS classes that do not have enough HP to survive the wings flap. Which is pretty rare in 2020 ------------------------------- Horntail left Arm There are only 3 Skills that players should really be aware of. 1. Seduce 2. Defense Buff 3. DISPEL Spoiler: Left Arm Level: 160 Total HP : 230,000,000 This is the Seduce Animation, I've shared this image above, but once again. This is one of the most Troublesome skills Horntail Casts, It Seduces 2min when you first summon this boss. and does Seduce every 3min. Bishop Should watch the timer or animations and be alarmed to Heal the Seduce Immediately. Once it reaches 30% HP and below. Mass seduce will occur and seduces the entire team (First 10 who entered the map) A Bishop Should will first and Heal the team to full, If there is a second mass seduce, all attackers can to avoid failing the run. Left-arm dispels, so sacrificing the bishop might be required. The second option is that the bishop should only will when the team is in actual danger of dying during the mass seduce, which is true as well. It depends on your mindset and that danger of the current situation. Options might be needed. ------------------------------- Above is Defense Up Animation, I'll Explain Further Below in the Guide on How this skill can delay the run significantly, and how a bishop can assist to counter against this troublesome Mechanic. Ah and yes. The Skill that makes tombstone falls. Above is the Dispel Animation. Oh god, this skill is scary, The moment it reaches 60% HP. It will start Dispelling (Slightly after 1st Warning 70% HP indicator) Dispel will hit the moment it touches the HP Mark And Dispels every 5min after until its dead. Meaning to say while seduce is active, Dispel Might Happen But a washed Bishop in 2020 should not have much on an issue countering against this mechanic! ------------------------------- Horntail Right Arm There are 2 Skills Here as well Player should be aware of. 1. Seduce 2. Darkness/Seal/Weaken Spoiler: Right Arm Level: 160 Total HP : 230,000,000 The right arm is similar to its Left Counterpart, just way less of a threat. Similar Mechanics Such as Seduce From the Left, This is the Seduce Animation, once again. It Seduces every 3min. Bishop whichever where u watch the timer or animations, Bishop should be alarmed to Heal the Seduce Immediately. Once it reaches 30% HP and below, Mass seduce will occur and seduces the entire team (first 10 who enter) A Bishop should use [Will] immediately and heal the team to full, if there's a 2nd Seduce, all DPS classes should will. To avoid failing the run. ------------------------------- Above is Darkness/Seal/Weaken, Bishop Can use the Skill Dispel on his buddies to improve DPS and Use Holy Shield whenever is Available. This During Seduce might be questionable, as it makes your Seduce target unable to use the skill [Will] when this happens. There are times when Dispel and Seal Happens together, Bishop will be required to quickly cast Dispel/All Cure Potion + Magic Guard. ------------------------------- Crossing Mechanics In Horntail Whenever Head is Killed, accidentally Crossing, or simply choosing which head DPS classes should target Crossing Motion is Done, One must always remember the Mechanics **Each arm Has its own seduce Timer** Meaning to say, Once u Cross the middle line of Horntail. Right Arm Seduce will apply (Double Sed) After the party crossed to the Right if no one is at the left half of Horntail. It will Remain Single Sed, Following the Right Sed timer. Seduce Player Should use [Will] Immediately if Timer is lost. Further On, Being at the Right side of Horntail, you will only take effect of right arm Skills, Such as Seal/Darkness/Weakness And while the full team is on the left, it will not be affected with the right hand's skill. ------------------------------- Horntail head A (LEFT) Spoiler: Head A Level : 160 Total HP : 330,000,000 HP This is the most important animation that Bishops should watch out for. This is "SPAWN" Animation Head A will summon different color Wyverns based on its HP Red = ~95% Blue = ~75% Dark = ~45% Each Color will have 6Waves. Meaning to say after the 6th wave of Spawns, Holy Symbol Should have been applied to all the players that are not level 200. It should die very soon. These Dark Wyverns Especially are a Killer. With there Special Magic Skill "Dispel" Dispel will entirely remove your magic Guard, and that will be really deadly. Meanwhile, if they are not Properly Cleared, They will fly upwards to the DPS And Dispel Buffs Such as SE/Shadow Stars/Boosters Which will significantly Delay the Horntail Expedition's Speed. What Should a Bishop do? To 1hit them you Require a total of 1591 Magic Potions Such as Ssiws Cheese, Skills Such as Echo/MW20 are super useful to assist one to reach 1591 to 1hit these mobs. Bishop's Bahamut should also be summoned. In case they are unable to 1hit, The Bahamut Should be able to deal the remaining damage needed Wyvern will heal if they aren't killed in an instant, so assistance from DPS class might be needed. If you need help to clear the dark wyvern spawns. Do let your DPS buddies know in advance! Once you see this particular animation, You should be in a position to Genesis already. This Spawn Mechanics is the Same For Head A/B/C ------------------------------- Horntail head C (Right) Spoiler: Head C Level: 160 Total HP : 330,000,000 HP Spoiler: Similar Mechanics This is "SPAWN" Animation Head C will summon different color Wyverns based on its HP Red = ~95% Blue = ~75% Dark = ~45% Each Color will have 6Waves. Meaning to say after the 6th wave of Spawns, Holy Symbol Should have been applied to all the players that are not level 200. It should die very soon. These Dark Wyverns Especially are a Killer. With there Special Magic Skill "Dispel" Dispel will entirely remove your magic Guard, and that will be really deadly. Meanwhile, if they are not Properly Cleared, They will fly upwards to the DPS And Dispel Buffs Such as SE/Shadow Stars/Boosters Which will significantly Delay the Horntail Expedition's Speed.

If you need help to clear the dark wyvern spawns. Do let your DPS buddies know in advance! Once you see this particular animation, You should be in a position to Genesis already. This Spawn Mechanics is the Same For Head A/B/C Standing Position should be like above attached. Mechanics are similar for Head A & C. ------------------------------- Horntail head B (Middle) Spoiler: Head B Level: 160 Total HP : 490,000,000 HP One would say that this head Represents Horntail. In all body parts, this is the one that gives the Most EXP, and The Most HP As well! The mechanics above remain the same. This is its Summon animation Of course similar to above Spoiler: Similar Mechanics 3rd time I'm copy-pasting this LOL This is "SPAWN" Animation Head B will summon different color Wyverns based on its HP Red = ~95% Blue = ~75% Dark = ~45% Each Color will have 6Waves. Meaning to say after the 6th wave of Spawns, Holy Symbol Should have been applied on all the players that are not level 200. It should die very soon. These Dark Wyverns Especially are a Killer. With there Special Magic Skill "Dispel" Dispel will entirely remove your magic Guard, and that will be really deadly. Meanwhile, if they are not Properly Cleared, They will fly upwards to the DPS And Dispel Buffs Such as SE/Shadow Stars/Boosters Which will significantly Delay the Horntail Expedition's Speed.

Bishop's Bahamut should also be summoned. In case they are unable to 1hit, The Bahamut Should be able to deal with the remaining damage needed Wyvern will heal if they aren't killed in an instant, so assistance from DPS class might be needed. If you need help to clear the dark wyvern spawns. Do let your DPS buddies know in advance! Once you see this particular animation, You should be in a position to Genesis already. This Spawn Mechanics is the Same For Head A/B/C But there's one part that makes this head stronger then Head A & C. And what makes this boss, One of the Most Exciting Attraction in MapleRoyals. This it's his Dispel Animation. When this skill hits, it should be around 50%. The Moment blue Wyverns Fly, That's where this Skill Starts Popping up. It combos along with your left arm, and Dark Wyverns. Spoiler: Dispelling Parts At 50% HP it Dispels Every 5min, But at 30%HP it will have an additional Dispel Every 3min. But this 2 Dispels have their own individual timer And overlaps with each other. Spoiler: Example a 10min timeframe, Head B will Dispel on the 10th and the 5th minute. meanwhile, the additional Dispel will be on the 9th, 6th and 3rd minutes. Overlapping with each ofter, so a dispel frame of 10th, 9th, 6th, 5th, 3rd, and 0min Do remember, there might be a left-arm dispelling every 5minute or so. So it's pretty cancerous haha. ------------------------------- Practice and Learning practically is a must to be efficient Like suggested above in this guide, Joining a Guild, Group or having a couple of friends that does daily runs would make this learning adventure much more exciting!

Total: 2,740,000,000 HP / 344,146,432 EXP ------------------------------- Here we'll discuss more on the more advanced techniques a bishop can maximize in a Particular Horntail Expedition. These, if used well, will make the run so much more efficient. Making your Bishop, Unique and Stand out compared to others. Meanwhile, these are the techniques I personally use and recommend. There are, of course, a thousand and one methods that I don’t know about! So do continue to experiment techniques out! Dispelling Defense Buff Defense Buff in Bosses, Such as Horntail will decrease the DPS Classes Damage by 25% Basically using the Skill "Dispel" will allow Bishops to remove the Defense Buff in Horntail bosses. It works Similar to how Warrior has Armor Crash and Power Crash Using the Skill Dispel will allow teams without Hero & Dark Knight to continue dishing out Normal DPS without worrying about the Boss' Defense Buff. And Max Dispel has a 100% Success Rate. This is my favorite Bishop Skill & Mechanic To be maximized in Horntail. Where it makes a NL/NL/NL/NL/SE/BS runs so much faster than usual. Spoiler: Dispelling Defense Buff Guide -Dispelling Defense Buffs From 1. Head A 2. Head B 3. Head C 4. Wings & Arms 5. Legs -DPS with Genesis How to keep up with Genesis Uptime -Multiclienting a Bishop. Be it your a bishop main muling Crash & SE Or a NL muling a Bishop -Seduce Bishop Setup So By landing the Dispel in the Aoe of Horntail. This effect should happen. And once this animation appears on the Head of Horntail, Defense Buff Should 100% be removed. But debuffing Horntail isn't as simple. Above Attached is Defense UP animation, The Moment you see this animation, Really Good bishop will immediately try to Dispel the Defense Buff to Speed up the run. By doing this actively, you'll be surprised how much faster Horntail Runs will be! Dispelling buffs should be prioritized after Seduce, But Over DPS-ing with genesis. Most Bishop now understands this mechanics but always discuss and claim to have an issue Debuffing accurately and waste a lot of time moving around random spots in Horntail. But Heres a guide that might be useful, to Accurately Dispel A / B / C head! Head A Defense UP Bishop At this particular Locations will be able to dispel 100% of the time Method #1 Below attached is my favorite Dispelling location. One can telecast from the middle jump on the rope, Dispel and teleport back int -------------------------------- Method #2 The Second Method to JUMP+Dispel is Player will Wait for the head to Bend Downwards When it's using the Attack Skill JUMP and immediately hit dispel when u reach the highest point. 115 Jump is recommended This way you don't have to leave your Genesis location too much. But of course, it will only work when it's bending downwards. ---------------------------- Head B Defense UP Head B there's only one Location! This is Super easy to Dispel Compared to A. Jump + Dispel this will 100% hit if you're around the correct location, like the below attached. Things to note, You'll be taking Touch Damage From Arms or Wings. If you Remember Dispel Timers, You might be unlucky and Dispelled Mid-air, Killing the Bishop. So when performing this action, Be Extremely Careful. #1 your well washed or #2 You know Dispel Timer Well. Head C Defense UP Bishop At this particular Locations will be able to dispel 100% of the time Similar to Head A, The Patterns are very identical. Method #1 (Similar To A) At this Spot, You Should Use your Holy Shield whenever its off Cooldown and it will be able to reach the players at the Right platforms Method #2 (Similar To A) The Second Method to JUMP+Dispel Player should Wait for the head to Bend Downwards When it's using the Attack Skill JUMP and immediately hit dispel when u reach the highest point. 115 Jump is recommended This way you don't have to leave your Genesis location too much. But of course, it will only work when it's bending downwards. -------------------------------- Spoiler: Update logs Updated: 17 feb 2021 Meso Making Methods Trio duku Guide APQ Stopper farming guide Updated with phase 0 guide ---- Multiclient -What mules should i make & why is multiclienting important in 2021 how to buy HTP coming real soon! ------------------------------- Hello, everyone It’s been a pleasure to be back writing after a long time.

First page! Excited for the Horntail guide. Might actually get me to move my bishop from out of haunted house :^)
Looks great! As someone who recently got back into Maple, and is currently a Priest, I think this will help tremendously since I hit Bishop. Will you be adding recommendations on where to level and/or leech at as well?
I'd recommend Sleepy gach for new players. It has quite a lot of LUKless gear like Black Starry Bandana, Purple Old Wisconsin, Toymaker Cap, Hard Hat, Red Emerald Earrings and Ele3. Plus everyone needs a Maple Leaf until Christmas event. LVL35 raccoon masks you can sell for good meso.
Neat guide so far As far as the skillbuild for bishops is concerned, it seems like you suggest pumping everything in Genesis right away but putting 1 point in Resurrection is very valuable for a lowlvl bishop in terms of bossing. It can also be interesting for bishops to put 10-20 skillpoints in Maple Warrior before levling Genesis as you only need Genesis lvl 1 to 1hko all mobs where lowlvlleech is sold. Leaving Genesis on lvl1 is also good for the pot consumption of lowlvl bishops. Lastly I would max Bahamut before maxing Angel Ray but that could be a matter of preference.
Imo Big Bang, Mana Reflection or even Infinity are weaker. I'm prioritising infinity higher then the others and also hoping for advice on which to add on my own bishop as well! Definately to update it regarding that! 1600 Magic.. Bishops does not works like attacker class, where the class main damage comes from Level! instead of the range scaling according to your weapon attack gears. Well, if you want to invest your hard earn leeched mesos, around ~40bil? you will want to look into investing into a perfect wand and earring which is has the most gain in TMA , following with a High Int Zak Helm, and HTP as well Snow Fur Lump During Christmas and 20TMA purple gaia cape are very good investments as well to put into consideration. Unless you love supportive gameplay or a bishop fan overall. Just level your bishop high, and get average gears, use potions eg. Yellow Cider Or Swiss cheese to 1hit those darkswyverns. (Apples of course if your generous.) swiss cheese will be a drop in cwkpq
Quality Advice ! thank you. i'll be sure do research on respect to sleepy gacha and update it on my 2nd part, "Gearing Up" !
Thank you for your suggestion Guus! very true on regarding resurrection and maple warrior! I'll make some adjustment!
I love dem Shiny i'm doing some research regarding it! Will definately Consider writing an training guide, which includes both leeching, grinding and even the recently Buffed Party Quests!
Everyone knows the correct bishop skill build is max bahamut so you can go to your home at sophila's bedroom.
Honestly, going pure int already helps you to deal decent heal damage. Having those lukless gear really don't help that much. I would rather save up those precious NX to either sell for meso, or gacha for WS/CS. Unless we are looking to 1 hit dark wyvern without any potion boost or min-max damage (why are you playing a bishop if you are into min-max in the first place), we also don't really need a maple leaf.
HP washing makes it a lot less stressful going for certain bosses. Think I read in one of the thread where someone wash till 5k (?) hp, which allowed them to tank 1 magic attack from ht after wing is down. This makes it less worrying during the mass dispel when mid head hits 50% (?) hp. Some also do MP washing to maximize PE usage, 30k base MP allows u to cast extra genesis when selling leech.
Yeh mate i know how wash work specially for bishops hehe this was more a joke them a serious comentary ^-^
