    Got my marauder to lvl 120 and advanced to buccaneer!
    Went to kill pap straight away which might have been too ambitious (took me ~45 minutes :classy: )

    Was looking for HH and found a BF instead. Decided to give it a try!
    It wasn't a fair fight at first... an elderwraith got involved in our 1v1 and bumped me into bf which led to my demise f3
    But I came back for my revenge! :pepehug:

    I've decided to make an Ironman character:

    [​IMG]

    I just finished doing a bunch of event JQ on maple island to stock up on future gear.

    I'm going to be making a dagger warrior, which means eventually going crusader for combo attack.
    My main long-term goals:

    I have no idea how far I'll be able to push it, but we'll see!

    Hello there! I'm the owner of the Perma beginner guild called PermaOddJobs! We are here to revive the perma beginner/oddjob community, and wanted to know if any GM from the Legoman or the Ironman guild would like for us to join the alliance. I always thought that any players who like a little twist or a different challenge to the game should stick together, and if you like the idea just let me know! My ign is Permaishai and am usually online. Hope to see the merger!

    Hello guys, I hope everybody is doing well!

    Just here to share an update on my character:

    With the anniversary event running, my goals for this anniversary are to get a 6att anniversary scarf as that is the best in slot pendant for ironman. I will also be aiming for a 12 dex maple earring. Because my character has 4 base dex, the 15 accuracy from the earring could be valuable as my character approaches the rose garden levels.

    On 06/23/2024, I made a series of upgrades:

    - Scrolled my top from 2 str 10 dex to 16 str 10 dex.
    - Scrolled a 12 dex maple earring.
    - Scrolled a 16 dex green neos pants.
    - Chaos scrolled a 4 att scarf.
    - Acquired a bad almighty ring from krexel (first time solo)

    Got my bucc to 150! :classy:

    lvl150.png


    Also got a few gear upgrades:
    After destroying several anni earrings, I managed to land a 3x 70% earrings dex in a row. Unfortunately I had only one event earrings scroll. After three weeks I decided to try to ws+70% it and it worked! 100% event scroll finished the last slot and got me to 2str 12dex earrings :)

    earrings1.png

    earrings2.png

    earrings3.png

    earrings4.png

    earrings5.png

    Similar to the earrings, the scarf scrolling also resulted in several casualties. Then I finally made a 6 att one!

    scarf1.png

    scarf2.png

    The whole idea for this character was to level it up by questing. I got to lvl 90 with around 700/800 quests completed, then as I was beginning to run out of quests I decided to start training normally and return to questing when I'm stronger. And here we are, my first ever quest specialist medal :)

    medal.png

    The time has come to 1v1 the mighty Zakum (or I guess 1v8 during the arms... or 1v20 during the body with summons? Damn that zak guy is really not playing fair is he? ~f3 )

    The arms took 42min using 3 gelts and a half of the 35att christmas potion.

    zak1.png

    zak2.png

    zak3.png

    The first body took 31min using the 35att potions. The second body took 36min using the 35att potions. The third body took 49min using gizers.
    After losing 75% of the third body's hp, zak finally decided to start playing fair and stopped summoning a hundred mobs per minute, and at last the true 1v1 began. It became clear that zak had no chance in a fair fight, the dirty cheater...

    zak4.png

    zak5.png

    zak6.png

    zak7.png

    The first helm was avg 16str 16dex, I decided to try to scroll it and passed 6/10 to get to 16str 28dex. I decided to drop it and try again. The second helm was below avg 13str 17dex, I dropped it and tried again. The third helm was godly 18str 22dex 26acc, I passed 6/10 helm dex 60%s and got it to 18str 34dex 26acc! :pepehug:

    zak8.png

    zak9.png

    zak10.png

    zak11.png

    zak12.png

    This one was totally unexpected. I was just doing tree pq with GoingAlone right after getting lvl 150 and got this beauty from the anniversary box!

    mapleleaf.png

    What's next? I'm going to slow down with training and catch up on some other aspects like getting a dojo belt, washing out excess MP, resetting base dex to 20, progressing towards quest virtuoso, perhaps doing some daily HP quest. I will also aim to get a 15att SCG in the near future.

    Hey yall! I thought it was time to give a little update on the journey so far, as u can see im now officially a Maurader (hip hip hooray)

    unfortunatly i didnt make any photos untill now,

    so i started just like all my fellow pirates from our home town Nautilus Harbour, slowly questing my way to 30, nothing special really.
    when i got to 30 there were only 6 days left for the event, so i did my best to get the most out of it. It was also time to get myself a maple knuckler. ive had a terrible time at chipmunks, but i tried to keep my head cool, and finally after 2hours i got a maple knuckle drop!!! yaaay! I continued with the questing untill lvl 45. trying to get as many dailies done as i could. (JQ cake boss etc). From 45 i stayed for about 5 levels at platoon chronos, trying to farm those mighty gfa60%s, and managed to get about 8 of them, I also killed every timer i saw and managed to get 3 additional ones from them. i crafted some work gloves from the leftover leather i had and tried my luck. I managed to get a 8 att 1 slot workglove at the end. I got a bit greedy and tried to finish it with a gfa 70% i got from the nautilus harbour gacha earlier that day. and guess what.... ... it boomed sadge. it was the first painfull moment i got to expierence on the journey. normally its pretty easy for me to give up on moments like this, but with the potential of the server, especially for iron man mode i had to move on and keep on trying. i had another terrible scrolling session a few days later, but eventually got this glove at the end, which is not really great, but alright for the time being f3

    upload_2024-7-22_19-20-56.png upload_2024-7-22_19-25-16.png upload_2024-7-22_19-25-32.png

    at lvl 50 i continued to collect as much as i can from killing timer and doing the daily event stuff, and managed to get some maple earrings, and 3 scarfs.
    I think i litterly got to lvl 57 from this.
    so at this point the event has come to an end and it was time for me to continue the questing spree. which got me to lvl 62.
    at lvl 62 i finally felt strong enough to farm one of the most chill maps, The forest of golem! I think i stayed here untill 65 and managed to get a few more gfa 60%s, but not as much as i thought i would get. ive put em in the storage for now, together with some other nice scrolls i managed to get from the gachapon.

    upload_2024-7-22_19-29-48.png

    Now that i was lvl 65, it was time to collect some dark crystal ores for the holy stone later. at first i though it was going to be a long day at the office, but i managed to hunt the remaining 7 in about 1,5hours. not bad aye ? :)
    I spend some time at grupins to get a lvl 64 knuckle and i got a +4 average in about 10minuts. finally some luck on my side! :)
    i ended up at lvl 67 and quested my way to lvl 70!! upload_2024-7-22_19-40-44.png

    I also landed 4/5 on my goblin cape!
    upload_2024-7-22_19-42-22.png

    For now im not sure what to do, i guess im going to farm some more scrolls and try to work on equipment upgrades. I still need 3 more knuckle 60%s to scroll this bad boy i got from the event earlier.

    upload_2024-7-22_19-44-29.png
    Im really enjoying my time on the server right now, especially after a 40/45hour workweek its really nice to empty my head a little, playing as an iron man.
    Im not a native english speaker, so i really hope i didnt make to many grammer mistakes ^^

    Hello Everybody,

    I hope you all had a good MapleRoyals Anniversary! I will be providing an update on my character and stating my future goals at the end of this post:

    With this being my first MapleRoyals anniversary, I did not know what to expect but I knew that I would be playing often to take advantage of the events. My goals for the event were to get a 6 attack scarf and obtaining 5 glove for attack 60% event scrolls by getting lucky with cake boss. Here are some of the highlights and upgrades I obtained:

    On 07/01/2024, I finally obtained a decent almighty ring for Krexel: 3 str and 3 dex. This will be enough for now but I will be back in the future to obtain more rings for scrolling. Decent Krex Ring.png

    On 07/03/2024, I reached level 170 which is an important milestone for dailies. At level 170, I will now be able to do the rose garden daily and kill King Castle Golem which can drop Ifia Rings, 30% ring scrolls, Purification Totems ,and more NX daily.
    Level 170.png

    On 07/14/2024, I opened all the monster galore sacks, black sacks, and summoning superslimes while taking advantage of the 50% drop buff from Ephenia's monster card effect. I had saved these monster galore sacks from NLC gachapon in anticipation for this event as killing those area bosses spawn coin mobs. I do believe that the drop buff also affects the drop rate of the coins and anniversary boxes. With over 200 boxes saved up, I went ahead and opened my boxes! The result was 5 chaos scrolls, 2 white scrolls, and 176k NX. I used the chaos scrolls on 5 scarves but none of them yielded an upgrade. :admincry: With the anniversary event about to end, I used my remaining coins on all scarves which will be scrolled with chaos scrolls until I hit 6 attack on one.

    On 07/21/2024, I finally scrolled my scg to 15 attack. Throughout the event, I was fortunate enough to get 2 glove for attack event scrolls. I had 23 white scrolls saved up from gaching at NLC for a good ST which I still haven't gotten. I was able to pass 3 glove for attack 60% in only 4 white scrolls which I consider a win!

    15 atk SCG.png

    On 07/25/2024, I achieved level 175! The best ifia ring I have currently is a 2str and 2dex one so I will continue to craft ifia rings before gambling with the ifia ring chaos scrolls.
    Ifia Ring.png

    [​IMG]

    So what are my goals now? With the miwok event coming up, I will finally be able to fill up the last of my available equipment slots with the circle ring of ancient strength. Due to the nature of my character being dexless, I will be able to have a more clear goal on how much dex I need on rings / face accessory / pendant / belt to be to use an attack cape / shoe. I am also considering creating another character as the progress is slow for this account. This should be fun for me personally as I will be able to use all of the knowledge I have obtained these past 7 months to have smaller, more defined goals in the early game instead of rushing through levels like I did for this first character. If I do make another account, I will be sure to update you guys. Happy mapling everybody!

    I IronHeart hereby chronicle my journey to the level of 30. It all started when I had won the success as a great hero of my world that the great goddess told me of the Maple World and its need for Heroes. The goddess begged me to join the great Maple World, and even advised that I could bring along my great looks and armor. Sadly I have found that none of this matters in the Maple World, but it still looks cool.

    When I arrived I found myself in an area for beginners, I was introduced to these things called “Stat points” and gave myself some of them in Str and Dex so I could swing these new Maple Weapons. It turns out that I can interact with the local folk and get some quests.

    On my first night on this maple Island as I learned to fight off snails and mushrooms it became clear to me as I began to nod off that this island would not be much of an issue. It was then as I slept that I dreamt of a foul creature from my previous world. As I felt into the deepest recesses of my subconscious I heard a guttural scream that echoed out, “IRON HEART!!!! YOU SHALL BE CURSED”


    I woke up with a start, but merely thought it was a bad dream. I woke up early, put out my campfire and headed to the nearby town. After training with a woman named Mai. I felt myself ready to move forward into the proper world. I had hit level 10. I met a young acquaintance there on the island, who needed assistance and as we went to trade, that’s when suddenly things didn’t work. No matter what we tried the items would not enter my hand, they would just reappear on this other guys hand. Crestfallen I had to decline assisting him. As a hero this never feels good.

    In dismay I returned to Lucas advising that I had slain many a snail and he gave me a pair of work gloves with no issue. Why folks like Lucas seem unimpacted, but other heroes are unable to trade or party with me I have no clue.

    I wonder if I truly am ready to leave for Victoria. At least there seems to be an event going on. A talking cake advised me of a reality show they were running. It was no challenge for me as I cleared this in just over 2 minutes. A great victory I have been told. I have partaken in this show as I understand the limits of my curse.


    After spending a month on this island collecting treasures from a cake I was finally set to begin my journey. I wished the Gingerbread man and cake a good day as I left.


    [​IMG]

    I met a man named Dances with Balrog who said I could regain my ability to be a hero again and tasked me with some challenges to battle some stumps.

    As I slayed these stumps I found myself growing stronger despite my curse.

    [​IMG]


    The trinkets from my month on Maple Island seemed to help and I quickly finished the chores from Dances with Balrog. As I tried to seek a cure for my curse I was made aware of a group of adventurers with the same affliction as me, unable to party, or trade up as they became heroes. I sat in their guild hall and heard the great warriors regale tales of great battles they fought.

    They advised me of great monsters like Chao, Ephenia, and Horntail that they have slain, and advised me of how to get stronger and how to embrace my curse. I learnt one way I can get stronger is from an ancient haunted house with powerful candies that would strengthen my body.

    I began to fight the ghosts there and found not only gummies that healed me, but small popsicles that helped my aim.
    [​IMG]

    As I got stronger from these I also started fighting Jack in the Boxes and got a candy which would make me stronger.

    Using my new found strength I began to help people. I found a woman who gave me a cape, and a woman who lost a special coin to her and assisted them both. My strength was growing every day.

    Then finally I went into the hut with Dances with Balrog and he advised that I was ready. I would need to take a test to collect 30 marbles and then I would finally be on the next stage to be a hero, I would become a fighter. I gathered some potions and supplies and bought gear and found myself the trainer lost in a deep part of the Perion Desert. He threw me into a fight with many monsters, but I grew victorious.

    As I found myself back in Perion I returned to Dances with Balrog, and began the ritual to become a Hero, now mastering techniques that will teach me to wield a sword better. I still can’t use the swords from Maple Island, but I have found that I can wield an umbrella while I train to wield these swords, it even helps me move more quickly as I catch the wind.

    [​IMG]

    Now at level 30 it’s time to relearn the sword even with my curse, but the lessons in the Haunted House were truly valuable, I've been told that I should learn how the steel that makes blades work and begin to fight pigs made of steel themselves. Once I find this place I will begin my newest quest from there.

    Hi, I'm new to the challenge and I've just noticed this forum thread.
    I would like to join the Ironman guild!

    I've spent the whole morning dropping Tobi throwing stars from Master Chronos and I've managed to get 6 sets!

    I'm excited to make more progress in the game, but getting more HP for bossing will pose some challenges :D.

    Happy to report that I'm already lv 51.
