So my friends are getting me to try this private server. There will be 6 of us total playing from scratch. I have played maplestory since before pirates and nowadays with the kids I only got 1-2 hours daily to play. I want to pick a class that can do decent at farming and can be ok at bossing later. I’ll never be cutting edge good, I don’t have the time to farm for that gear. On top of this I won’t have the time to make a pure farmer that can fund a real main, I need something can be passable farming and bossing. I just want to have fun leveling, gearing up that doesn’t destroy me in mesoes and just chill out/have fun. I’m thinking I shouldn’t play something Meta because prices on their gear would be high but maybe I’m mistaken. Can anyone recommend two or three classes that I can review and make my own choice out of them. I have no issue picking myself but I’m wary about not knowing anything about the market/value/meta of this server and picking something needlessly hard given my time allowances.
Shadower or Bucc I play an unwashed shad and can survive in ht and shao Bucc needs some washing - 19k hp to survive everything Bishop is good if you wanna learn how to sell leech and sell leech and make mesos to fund another character
I would say just play whatever you want. By doing the HP quests, some of the Olaf questline and scrolling your pet equips for HP, you should be fine for HT. If you're here to have fun and you already have a group of friends to boss with, play whatever you want. We have options for gaining HP later on in the game like the daily quest that gives you 30hp on average.
Oh that’s great to hear. I’ll write out all the classes and make sure not to double up on one of my friends classes so we all feel unique then.
Appreciate the reply. Bucc is what I was originally looking at tbh. I used to play shadower back many years ago and hated the mess bomb costs so maybe I’ll stay clear of that
In current Royals, my opinion is that Dark knight is the best first character to make outside of bishop. Accuracy isn't much of an issue on this server as maple weapons are abundant along with accuracy pots like Amorian baskets. Baskets are farmable and cheap to buy. And most people drop Accuracy scrolls in mushroom shrine for free. No HP washing needed. Though i do recommend getting cheap INT Equips so you can throw some fresh AP into HP and then decrease MP to STR as you level. All you need is 19,000 HP to have 30k HP with HB, which is VERY easily accessible by light hp washing, multiple HP quests, and equipment. You can sell CPQ Leech at lvl 50, which opens the flood gates in terms of mesos gains at a very early stage in leveling. I also recommend using Polearm as your main weapon until you boss at 135+ Dragon roar is a weak, but very usable ULT for low level leech or farming. I use dragon roar on Iron Boars for their hooves to craft loads of steel plates for facestomper crafting. Great lil meso side hustle. DKs are very well needed in Scarga, Zak, LHC, and CWKPQ which are great ways of gaining mesos while bossing. HB will also help your group of friends! Shadower, Buccaneer, and Paladin are also great alternatives. I wont go too into detail right now but feel free to ask anything.
Since mesos are much more easily acquired in this server compared to Maplestory, the cost use of meso bomb isn't so damning. You can use meso bomb to power level your group of 6 VERY quickly via bigfoot meso bomb leech starting at lvl 71 till about 110-120.
I really enjoy shadower. Once you get 4th job you don't have to do meso explosion just assaulter + bstep I leeched my char from 70-135 though so I skipped a lot of the 3rd job struggle
All classes are viable. Yes, we made tier-lists. However, if you give a lvl 150 naked NL or Axe Hero 1b to spend. The Axe Hero is gonna beat that NL's dps by a mile. I would skip mages, since you wanna go bossing. If you play them you'll notice meso will just randomly fall from the sky, somehow. Regarding making meso, they start to plateau around lvl 150. Then the other classes pick up pace and it gets very close late on. Dk is arguably one of the easiest classes to main. Very good 3rth job. Very strong at early-game content such as Chao, Eph, Shao and Zak. However they are semi-hard walled for end-game content, needing you to put in a lot of effort just to stay alive and deal 'ok' damage to bosses. If you get to this stage in the game, you'll be rich enough to make a new char that does not have this limitation. Buccs are very strong and have very desired party skills, SI and TL. Shadowers are very strong and independent. They get the most broken 3rth job skills in the game, Meso Explosion and Meso Guard. ME allows you to do 4rth job content at level 80. MG allows you to be one of the tankiest classes in the game. Both BM/MM have SE and Pally get Crash (wich is a party buff here - Check Skill Library). People are so desperate for these buffs you can be a 250 Base INT BM with an unscrolled Maple Bow and still join boss runs. Please don't HP-Wash when you are new.
