    I can't find it on the gachapon guide, so i'm wondering if we can get it through it.
    If not.. I suggest to implement it on gacha so we have an alternative way of finding it, instead of only hunting horntail.. ( KimberlyKimberly )
    Thanks in advance!

    Oops. My post showed up as double post for me so I deleted it. Anyways because NL is already the strongest job in the game, if you want to make a really good weapon it shouldn't be easy, purple only coming from HT is not bad, if you are impatient and want to scroll a claw, then you can go for a green sleeve or a craven. You don't NEED to scroll a purple sleeve.

    Every single class in the game has a proper way of farming they ultimate weapon (correct me if i'm wrong, please!)..
    Paladins can get the skull crusher via exchange quest (its rare, but they can solo farm'em), mages can get ele wands through gacha, Heros can get their stonetooth sword by farming black crows and so on..
    Why can't Night Lords have the option to get their ultimate weapon by themselfs? Just because, in your opinion, it is "the best" class?
    I strongly disagree, but hey, it is a good topic to debate.

    No, they do not. Drk's have to wait for gach(I don't consider gach farmable) too so they can't "farm it by themselves", HT IS farmable, you just need to get good enough to farm it. If you consider gach farmable then you might as well consider HT farmable, just wait till someone sells a purple sleeve and buy it, same way you would for sky ski or ele wands.

    This game is not meant to be played alone, if you wanna play solo maplestory then you would enjoy gms, you can solo everything there.

    Welp, you got me here, you are totally right on this part:
    But if DKs and Mages can get their ultimate weapons via gacha.. why can't NL's do the same?

    Because they already have a way to obtain it, and it is Horntail, you can wait to perfect a claw until you get a purple sleeve from HT and meanwhile use a craven or green sleeve with some good 30s landed. If you can't wait and want to get a perfect weapon right away (as if it were easy) you can just try and land some 30s on perf green sleeve/perf craven and use that. The difference in dmg isn't really that big.

    Yeah the difference between Green and Purple sleeves really isn't that big. 8 LUK is like what, 1.5 weapon attack more?

    It sucks if you want to min/max early on, but it's not like you're stuck with Cravens until you can HT.

    He answered this; NLs have the highest DPS in the game (discounting Corsairs) so if they want to max out their damage they should work harder. They do like 60% more damage at bosses than Drks do, it matters more.

    TBH the difference between purple and green isn't even noticeable.
    8 LUK isn't going to make or break your damage.

    It's noticeable if you are a perfectionist, but if you really are one then you shouldn't have any issues waiting to buy one or get one yourself from ht.

    it actually will.. the damage formula for TT is as following: (Luk*Watt*(2.5~5.0)*1.5)/100
    so this "only" 8 luk will mean less 30% of your total weapon att as minumum damage and less 60% of your weapon att as maximum damage.
    So if you have 170 weapon att (we are discussing here perfect weapons.. 90 att + 30 balanced fury + 15 WG + 20 Ciders + 15 gaia cape) you'll be loosing 51~102 damage on each hit.
    lets say 75 on average, each hit of TT (not considering shadow partner!) will deal 75*3 less damage, which is 225.
    Attack 10 times and you have 2250 less damage.. It REALLY makes a HUGE difference on high HP bosses.

    In addition to that, how much are you doing per star? Is 75 damage significant compared to what you're gonna do per star? I'm sure it'll add up over the course of an hour or four but how noticeable is it?

    That formula doesn't seem right. How can luk have the same weighting as weapon attack?

    You have more luk than weapon att.. so extra LUK agregates less than extra Weapon att..
    That is the correct formula, check it here https://ayumilovemaple.wordpress.com/2009/09/06/maplestory-formula-compilation/


    You're joking, right? I really hope so, because 2250 was for 10 hits.. how many times are you hitting a boss in a run? iunno, 10000? 2.250.000 doesn't seems inconsequential..

    But i must say that i'm okay with this weapom being sorta rare.. I would love to see it on gachapon or whatever but, it is what it is.
