Hi, I was just wondering if Siam is going to be introduced in this server. I was browsing some youtube videos the other day when I came across a bunch of videos on Maplestory's Golden Temple. BTW I've never experienced this area back then but I did a bit of digging around on it. It seems to be have been released in 2007 before Big Bang and then re-released again after Big Bang. ----MOBS ---------------- If you look at these two videos: VIDEO 1: http://y2u.be/KEwNJycEUSo VIDEO 2: http://y2u.be/JcRpUQ1wE1I Clearly, you can tell that even though the same monsters are killed, they are of different difficulty (level & hp wise). I'm not sure about this but I'm guessing that the Golden Temple was modified a few times. This seems to be an event area that was available temporarily and then brought back in various versions. I'll just link some videos to get an idea of the monsters. There are two areas in Golden Temple: (1) the Field, (2) the Temple Dungeon. Area walkthrough: http://y2u.be/GoshnH4Vjys Field: Training 1: http://y2u.be/wvv6D3Zfcbg Training 2: http://y2u.be/_GYon7tTdCw Training 3: http://y2u.be/8HrLjFUy9HU Temple Dungeon: Training 1: http://y2u.be/4hhi_dV43Ps Training 2: http://y2u.be/P5NfzoQ8Wts Training 3: http://y2u.be/BBTy0Wn7GdE (Note: 2nd job player training) Looking at the videos, I am guessing that the developers intended Golden Temple to be a place mostly for 3rd job players to train at. ------- BOSS --------------- PreQuest: http://y2u.be/eeHfKM-FtBA Boss Fight 1 (Thai Version of the Boss): http://y2u.be/WOkqNFYdRbc (Note: Thai Version of Ravana. It's quite different from the one you see in the other videos) Boss Fight 2: http://y2u.be/ZWJSIrKBL24 (Note: Close Attacker in action) Boss Fight 3: http://y2u.be/wcxbuLEZ51Y (Note: Ranged attacker in action) Boss Fight 4: http://y2u.be/LHVN6b_E9AU&t=7m40s, http://y2u.be/4-kFyka0WOY (NOTE: no helm after kill) You need to do some prequest before fighting the Ravana boss. The Prequest is pretty long, just like the one for Krex. To enter the room for the fight, you need 5 Sunburst (etc) and need to be in a party of at least 2 people. The boss is lvl 90 or 130 (different sources say different things). In the Thai version, the boss: Cant attack you if you pin him (just like how you fight bigfoot) Get pinned fairly easily In the non-Thai versions, the boss: Does 1/1 attacks Has an attack that hits everyone in the map (laser attack). When it casts this attack, it goes into this iframe (?) which means it cant be hit temporarily just like Bigfoot. Has an attack that makes your line of version limited to a small circle (like OPQ's dark room) Doesn't get knocked back as easily The boss has low damage (2000-3000 damage) The boss has low exp A fight theoretically lasts around 1-5 min depending on your level Drops a Ravana helm that adds +18 (16-20 for normal stats) to each stat if it is average. It has a higher base than a Zakum helm and should beat a Zakum helm if it turns out to be a godly helm. The level requirement to wear the helm is level 70. The drop is not guaranteed every time you kill the boss but if it does drop, there is a max of one helm per kill. -----THINGS TO CONSIDER----------- Some things should be nerfed or removed imo: Mastery Book 20 allows you to raise the master level of any skill to 20, at a 100% chance You gain this from a quest after you kill the boss Scroll for Ravana Helmet of Chaos 50%. Works like a chaos Scroll (Changes all stats -5 to +5). Works on a 50% chance and if it fails, destroys item on a 20% chance Drops from Boss Chaos Scroll Drops from Boss (LINK: http://y2u.be/J23YOWqyd3A) Since the same monsters have different levels at different times or regional versions, it would be good to think about making this area a harder area since we lack solid 3rd job training options and since Golden Temple has once been an area for 3rd job or even 4th job players at some point. ----SOURCES ------- Info Source 1: https://strategywiki.org/wiki/MapleStory/Golden_Temple Info Source 2: https://maplesushi.wordpress.com/2010/06/15/golden-temple-ravana-guide/ Info Source 3: http://bbb.hidden-street.net/monster/ravana-2 Conclusion: The area could be an interesting 3rd job area. It also has a Ravana boss whose main appeal is its helm. I think with some modifications (e.g. limiting people to 1-2 boss runs a day), the area can work well in Royals.
