I saw a BWG here selling for 44b. That would take you over 200 hours selling skele leech just to get that. Just for a perfect glove. is that what everyone is doing or am i out the loop? I can max play around 1-2hrs a day during the week and all day on weekends and for me to sell skele leech it would take me more than 8-9 months just to get one perfect glove. is that fair? is that what everyone here is doing? i currently sell ulu2 leech and make around 100m an hr and it feels like im not even getting close to doing decent damage.
Im playing for almost 3 years and don't have any perfect item.. i think all my items together worth around 16-18bill
Please don't think that you need a godly glove to do good damage - you can be strong and do content and have fun here without such godly gear. What class do you play, and what is your current gear?
I main NL. my gear is basic. 71att claw. 30dex helm. 22top 10dex bottom. 11att gloves. 9luk shoes., 3att cape, 5all stat pendant. 7dex rat mouth. 10 dex earrings.
Comparison is the thief of joy. You should just play your game, at your own pace, doing the things you enjoy most. It does not matter what gear other players have. Some people have been playing for half a decade or longer. You should not look to these people as some kind of reference point to your own progress.
You should be able to get quite a bit more dps just by doing smaller upgrades. Have you seen this price guide? It should give you a good idea of the price of various gear. A good next step would be to get an HTP. If you do not have enough HP for HT (from memory it's about 9.5k that you need), then have a look at ways of increasing your HP. https://royals.ms/forum/threads/ways-to-gain-hp.224740/ Aside from that, look at incremental upgrades to your cape, gloves and shoes (scrolled for attack). Have a look at what you can afford/ what is reasonable to aim for. Good luck!
I was following allong to the 2024 nl guide and i have everything missing a few things like needing more dex. but it feels like the next upgrades are so far away. im not even sure if i can contribute to zak runs or anything like that for a while
Just go to zakum with a couple of friends or guildies if you want to experience bossing! it might take a few minutes longer to complete the run, but you still get to have fun and work on your character together with other people
Gear in the tens of billions and even hundreds of billions is really just to flex. In reality, the difference between a 44b 23wa glove and a 2b 15wa glove would be like 30 seconds (an estimation) on your zakum runs
I have around 30b in liquid right now but my shadower is using a 120 dagger because I don't really care
71att claw -> you can probably get a few more attack on it if you pay another 400-500mil 11att gloves -> orbis pq gives a 13attack glove which should be good enough if you dont wanna pay 2bil for a 15attack gloves 9luk shoes -> arguably better than a clean pair 2attack stompers, your next jump should be towards 5~6attack which are 700mil~1.5bil 3att cape -> you can scroll this with luk for now or go for 7~9attack which are 500mil~1.5bil pendant -> you can get a htp for pretty cheap (90~100mil if you find those solo maniacs) these days and it's probably one of the best stat-to-value gear you can get early on to help with you missing dex! planning on how to upgrade your gears is also part of the mmo experience, you can have just as much fun here as the rest of the people out there with insane gears once you stop comparing, dont pressure yourself into doing the same thing as everyone else and go mindless farming for eons if you dont find it fun you can always use apples to make up for your lack of damage at earlier stages and still do well in clear times since people with the gears you mentioned are probably on gizers though imo if you really want to contribute a run you can consider bringing mules
I'm not sure if needing perfect items is a requirement to enjoy the game tbh, the game isnt even designed to be played with perfect items. I have similar starter gear to what was discussed above and been slowing enjoying the game at a slow pace, playing causally and what not... The "meta" you are seeing with people having perfect +7 weapons is just that the game/server has been around for that long and people naturally get to that point depending on how much they play. I'm pretty sure even those players with fully decked out perfect items, at some point in their maple life, had starter gear just like you and they kept at it. Creating the foundation takes time and effort, keep at it and grind 1 step at a time.
I really disagree, every 1 ATT scale a lot differently when you got 50-60 cgs compared to 25-30. And being strong is required in order to do some content with fewer people, for example 12 man VL (or 10, or 8), you have to be strong enough to clear it within the 1 hour limit. The less people in a run, the more money you can make. Also, it not "just a flex", its the goal of the game for a lot of people. About the glove, 44b glove is a really expensive upgrade (also, its not perfect, perfect glove is 21, anything above that is more than perfect). Such high attck gear is really not a standard thing that a lot of people have. The "avrage" strong player usually get to around 40-45 cgs and a perfect weapon, which would be like 50b. which is still a lot but with time you get there.
True, it's not just a flex if you want to do some sweaty things such as 8 man VL. The point is the return on investment isn't great once you reach gear in the tens of billions of meso
I mean, that just depends on what you define as return of invesment... for some people the fun is having the high end gear, its the progress that is fun. other people would enjoy other things, its just about personal goals.
In the last 5 years I prolly been active about 2-3 in total. During that time my DK has an average about 3-4b per equip and I guess my IL mage about 2-3b Never sold a minute or leech in my life. And also spend a lot of time on my Islander and Ironman. Your buddy list and guild/alliance is the best way to progress in this game.
This thread is actually great for new ban appeal viewers to see just why it’s hard to believe some “friend” would just give out these perf or high att items for free, or for someone to just “loot them from the ground” with no one making threads talking about them missing the item.
