    Hi! I start writing my own journal after these years playing in this heart-warming server:heartbeat:.
    My first character Outside, is a perma beginner(as title said, and which is founded in 2015), and you can find its cool definition in this awesome guide.

    Anyways, this journal is not a new character's journey.
    Just a super noob records himself to suffer in the maple world.MapleF14
    I think it's quite interesting to show you guys how I level my perma beginner and his fantastic skills to survive. Also when I look back maybe it's a kind of achievement.
    I will try to update this journal regularly, also some things in life.(Like spencil2's journal)

    Let's go~SlimeCool

    Diary #0
    Lemme introduce my character more.
    You can find the little introduction in my signature, but most importantly, I don't leech my perma beginner.MapleF13
    Yeah that's why it take me long ass time to level till this level.MapleF18
    Personally I do some quests to help me gain more experience, or I just go grind at some notable places.(would be referred in my later journal)
    Also, I seldom do party quests.(Nobody want to pt with a noobMapleF7)
    But if there is a chance I will do it. Some PQs are quite fun.

    This is my currenct stats now:
    upload_2020-2-1_21-54-44.png
    (The feeling when your weapon mastery is only 10%, so my damage range is large MapleF12)
    (Also some accuracy problems, I decide to make it "high-based DEX")

    And this is my favorite weapon:
    upload_2020-2-1_21-57-25.png
    Because "faster" don't lieMapleF17, also it has nice weapon multiplier.

    I will showcase more my other cool stuff in the future.

    Next part is my future plan:
    1. Get to level 100 as soon as possible.(hope before 2020 end)
    2. Craft Crimson Arcglaive.(The highest att weapon perma beginner can wear now) (Done!)
    3. Make 15wa+ cape. (Already have a 7wa cape 4slots now)
    4. Collect monster cards to make Ring Tier 6 or maybe Tier 7 all by this character own.
    5. Solo Headless Horseman (Done!) and Spirit of Rock once.
    6. Do my left quests if I forget to do or not do.

    That's all, if there is anything I forgot to say, I will write down in my future journal.

    Thanks for reading and hope you can keep on track of this grand journey.

    Diary #1 (2020.02.02)
    Chop down some Crimson Trees to get some woods.
    Get around 30 crimson woods, it cost me around 1 hour to collect I think.
    With the effort of chopping the trees and seeking who sell those woods, finally now I have over 300+ crimson woods.MapleF17

    upload_2020-2-2_22-55-30.png

    Forget to mention, these are the materials for crafting Crimson Arcglaive.

    Needed materials are below:

    upload_2020-2-2_22-58-41.png

    I have already collected other stuff (Those are from my friend's donation, buying from FM, or gain by myself) except Crimson Wood[​IMG] .
    I think that's because Crimson Tree respawns every 20 minutes, making the etc hard to acquire.MapleF6
    At least the progress of wood is like 75% now, I estimate that maybe I can craft one Crimson Arcglaive in the next weekend.
    Hope its stats is super good~~MapleF5

    Simultaneously, I also grind at the WR maps when collecting woods.(Not so good eph for me there)
    Then suddenly recalling that I have a new boss quest to do!!:pinkbean:

    Just help to kill this mob:
    [​IMG] (Heya! I'm Snowman!)

    So I take the ride to Orbis:

    upload_2020-2-2_23-9-41.png
    (Yup, I die because I just want to know how painful Crimson Balrog hit me)
    (It's like 3.5k HP damage if I don''t remember wrongMapleF8)
    (Nice to talk to Tegami when riding to Orbis)

    After timer end, I am been teleported back to Ellinia, originally thinking I will be sent to Orbis when been revived. HeHeMapleF3_Origin (Just take the next ride)

    Later, I play safe to take my way to El Nath and do that lv90 boss quest.

    Snowman is not a big deal for me, although it hit me like 1.5k HP, still tolerable when having this low HP.

    After get the quest exp reward, finally get to lv91angelmush:
    upload_2020-2-2_23-24-24.png

    Also today it's the first time I go to the wedding.
    Congratulations to lysi and foodpanda, wish u couple love forever~:heart:

    Wedding.jpg

    Next step:joymush
    Continue to level
    Farm Crimson Wood
    Make mesos to buy Chaos Scroll

    What I do in Real Life:
    Sunday, chill at home.
    Fix and manage the windows because my house need to drag a new internet wire in.
    Still consider to make a hole on it (to let the wire pass).
    Or other even better idea...

    Weren't there purple surfboards in ML at some point? I'd rather buy those than make an arcglaive since arc is a Normal (6) AS as opposed to Fast (5).

    Yup! Purple Surfboard do exist in ML, but it's only obtainable during summer event (raffle).
    Otherwise time the surfboard may only be bought in FM I think.
    Crimson Arcglaive can be crafted once you have the materials and prequests are all done, and also no need to test the luck, it's guaranteed.
    But I gotta admit PSB has Fast(5) speed, the performance may surpass ARC (Normal(6)).
    Since I can't wear PSB now (lv.95 required), I need to test the dpm between PSB and ARC(if good scrolled) to determine which the best.

    I bought one scrolled PSB during the last summer event, soon we will know itMapleF11:

    upload_2020-2-3_11-38-11.png

    (Another point I want to use ARC is that it looks so cool compared to PSB~MapleF14)

    Diary #2 (2020.02.03-02.08)

    During these days I still go for WR maps to collect Crimson Woods.
    Since where I farm is also a hot leeching place, when I meet people, I will hold a chance to ask him or her whether he/she has the woods.SlimeTongue

    upload_2020-2-8_17-39-32.png
    (I don't screenshot very often when i'm grinding, but still I want to shout-out to the people who gave me your spare woods, you guys are the best!)

    Finally, all materials are collected well:

    [​IMG]
    (Take about 3 weeks to collect I thinkSlimeCool)

    Talk to Fiona in Ninja Clan, then asking her to craft Crimson Arcglaive:

    [​IMG]

    Looks like the process of crafting goes pretty well, now let's reveal what stats it has:

    [​IMG]

    WHAT THE F***
    Its wa is below the average(+102wa), speed and ma is better than average, str is just the average(+2str).
    Well, it's still not that bad compared to getting a 97wa one, lol.
    Better collect all materials again, maybe in the next month would craft 2nd one.
    Welp, it boom in the first attempt. (I let my friend to help me scrolling lol)
    Can't argue with that because that's how 30% work.SlimeCry

    One of my friend help me to wear Crimson Arcglaive to showcase how it look when wearing:

    [​IMG]
    (Looks super coooooooooooooool~~~~)
    (I bet the number of this weapon is lower than 10 in maplelegends:pepe:)

    So, one of my goal is done.:pinkbean: YEAH BOI-> (2.Craft Crimson Arcglaive.(The highest att weapon perma beginner can wear now))

    Also, I make the first exchange in Crimsonwood exchange quest:(Got 50 Windraider Badges when grinding in WR map)

    upload_2020-2-8_18-13-39.png
    (750k mesos is quite good though:sack: especially for a poor beginnerMapleF18)

    Later, not much playing after I craft the ARC.(Play or do other stuff IRL though)

    Yesterday just make this nice scrolled YAC:

    upload_2020-2-8_18-21-4.png
    (3/4 30%s, 2/2 70%s, 1/2 60%sMapleF17, I will save this for my dexless spearman)

    Then today I semi-grind in the Zipangu: Crow Forest 2:

    Get 2 30%s->
    One is Shoes for jump 30% (Worth like 4.5m~5m)
    upload_2020-2-8_18-25-18.png

    Other is Helmet for def 30% (Worth nothing I guess)
    upload_2020-2-8_18-25-59.png

    (No gachapons dropping when grindingf3mush)

    My next stepdroolmush:
    Grind at crow map to get shoes for jump 30% for selling (Gain mesos)
    Continue to level slowly

    What I do in Real Life:
    Research on my project: Image segmentation in minirhizotron.
    Finally fix the internet problem today.

    Diary #3 (2020.02.08-02.15)

    Well, I start grinding at crow map for trying some luck at nice scroll drop.SlimeUnsure
    Here is what I got in these days:

    upload_2020-2-15_18-0-40.png
    (It take about 1 hour for me to get one scroll I guess, for the average time.)

    Not that bad actually, it seems like the numbers of shoes for jump 30% > the numbers of helmet def 30% in this week testing.
    So maybe scroll of shoes for jump dropping rate is greater than scroll of helmet def 30%!?
    I will test more to fill enough data to see my theory is right or wrong.MapleF11

    For anyone who concerned, you can keep tracking on this google spreadsheets to see the result.
    Btw this link also contain some records I do for BWG[​IMG] exchange.
    Maybe I will do more in the future, too.
    But in recent days I probably don't do it hahaSlimeTongue, just feel upset that I don't get anything good from it lol.
    Crow maps are still the best profit maps for me in current time.(Low HP and high amount of mobs)

    When farming for the scrolls, I also get some gachapon tickets, too
    Last Saturday, I just get 4 rare gachapon tickets in a rowlovemush, and I think it's the time for me to test my luck again.
    Here is the result:

    upload_2020-2-15_18-25-0.png

    Yo~I just get a Chaos Scroll 60%pridemush, can't believe I win one of the best items in this tickets rush.

    In the first post I mentioned that I have 7wa 4slots PAC, right? It looks like this:

    [​IMG]

    So you guys also know what I do for the next.f3mush
    Time to YOLO it.

    [​IMG]

    OnionPanicWell it pass the scroll, but the WA goes down 3...OnionScared
    Magic Def +5 thoughOnionDead, Weapon Def is still the same.

    I will continue to scroll this cape till the end or there is no WA remain.
    It's kinda fun for me to scroll equips, just want to see how well or worse the equips would goes.OnionCoffee

    Ah, also get some crow feathers for exchange, the result is in the below:

    [​IMG]

    Exchange 11 times for getting best jackpot of this etc's (Pink Bandana), maybe not that bad??
    Although its price can't compare to the price of BWG.MapleF18

    I also update my speed shoes to +15speed:
    [​IMG]

    It will help me a lot in future grinding.
    140% speed for the win!!

    My next stepdroolmush:
    Keep grinding at crow map to get shoes for jump 30% for selling (To gain mesos)
    Continue to level very slowly

    What I do in Real Life:
    Research on my project: Image segmentation in minirhizotron.
    Also go to mountain experimental locations for acquiring research data.

    During this period I don't play that much on beginner because I'm busy with real life and other characters lol!

    But I also got a nice achievement recently, maybe most of you have seen it on Discord, and this is the proof picture:

    [​IMG]
    SeemsGoodSeemsGoodSeemsGood

    It's probably the first solo HH kill by a perma beginner in Maplelegends.
    Finally it answers my long searching question: It's possible for a beginner to solo HH.
    Although it's not fun and stressful(need to keep an eye on hp bar and HB buff), I think I might do it again after I start using PSB.

    Because the server just came back (after maintenance), so in that time i held this chance to seek if there is a HH or not.
    Thankfully this map haven't been claimed, so I start my Killing HH Project:
    Buff up HB from my spearman(nmOmn) in FM -> Come back to this map -> Check if HB is almost disappeared -> Redo the former steps until HH is dead
    I die like 10 times or moreMapleF6, taking like 1.5hrs to kill this monster.
    Also pots burn like 3k cheesesMapleF10 and some cakes( got them form last year christmas event, +30acc every 3 minutes, quite useful in this plan).

    It is worthy to solo HH? To my opinion, definitely not worthy, better go grinding voodoos and mannies map.MapleF17 (BTW RIP Mannies Nerfed)
    The ratio of pots money and exp it's not so good... but eventually, I just unlock my todo list: "5. Solo Headless Horseman":star:(!Cleared!):star:

    Ah also in this period the Chinese New Year and Valentine's Event start:

    ....
    I don't do much grinding at farming red envelopes, so maybe no jackpot for me this time.f6mush
    ....

    Well but for Valentine's Event, i do grind lots of roses, especially for Yellow Valentine Rose[​IMG]
    At least 10+ roses I got from Yellow Lizard, the drop rate is kind good though.
    I feel the drop rate of this year is easier compared to last year.
    After getting the ring[​IMG], just realize it only last for 6 months.shockmush
    Well, I'm hoping we can get some new ring in summer event!!tonguemush

    Thanks again for the staff and admin hard work!!!!!

    My next stepdroolmush:
    Keep grinding at crow map to get shoes for jump 30% for selling (To gain mesos)
    Continue to level slowly (lv92 coming soon)
    Try to do more quests haven't been done

    What I do in Real Life:
    New semester starts, some new stuff to learn.
    Read some superpixel code. (Matlab)

    My current stats:
    [​IMG]
    Change some new cosmetics!happymush
    Hope u guys like it.

    Hello everyone! It seems that I didn't update a lot in recent time because I was playing other job or more jobless class.MapleF18

    Due to the server maintenance now, I can write something for my beginner progress.

    That is ..... not so much progressMapleF8

    I originally plan that character levels at least one level a month, but some other unpredictable stuff happens haha.:pinkbean:

    Still stuck at lv91, but it's closer to lv92:

    [​IMG]

    Got some free anniversary event nx suits btw.
    Try to level some levels during the 40% bonus event exp boost~:pinkbean: :cake:
    Then go exchange that glasses, rings, and the maple leaf!!


    Ah, also scroll these stuff recently:

    [​IMG] (This one is RIP, boom at 5th 30%'s tryMapleF4)

    [​IMG] ( 3 x 30%s, 4 x 70%s only last slot fail, thanks god no boomMapleF13)

    My friends and I scrolled 8 30%s and there are 6 pass, it's very crazy!!!
    Shoutout for Tiltmaster, foodpanda and misaki77 to help me scrolling!MapleF14

    Although I gonna use PSB when I hit lv95, the snowboard is still rock and looks fancy.


    Here is my stats after drinking cider(+20wa) with 97wa super snowboard, highest range breaks 3k, woo~hoo!!!

    The only way to get super snowboard is bought from FM as beginner.
    Some high levels players will get that snowboard from NT, a mob called Eruwater drop it.
    I have some free snowboards (got from my friends) if you want, feel free to contact me.

    My guild Flow is no longer active though.MapleF4
    I don't know if there is more odd jobs guilds or not:pepe:

    P.S. I check your level, you can use Fan as well! Nice for crowd mobs grinding!

    The last time I checked fm for the snowboard, the prices were too much for me. I wanted to find a flaming katana as well and try to scroll it as good as possible but there was only one, and the price was high enough for me to pass MapleF7
    For how much you'd sell those spare snowboards you got?
    I'll check about the fan when the server is back online. There are so many options now that I'm more higher level.

    It sucks the guild isn't active anymore. I was hyped when I found out that pretty much everyone in the guild are beginners lol
    Well...if there are a lot of perma beginners and some odd jobbers somewhere in the server, maybe we can unite and create a new one MapleF11

    Hello! Once again I didn't update for a long time.MapleF4
    Sorry about that. I still do my research at school, so not so much time to play especially I now focus on other job class (ex. F/P and DK).
    But perma beginner is still a retreat for me to take a rest, I'm still playing it just not that much.
    The later journal I want to make some changes like only recording some achievements I complete, such as leveling or making good stuff something like that.
    Some detail stuff I will discard for just quick updating and maybe boring issues i will try not to talk that much lol:pinkbean:
    Also, I end giving me next goals I want to do (because I will forgetMapleF3_Origin). Main goals are still the same btw.

    TLDR,
    I'm still alive for those who concerned.MapleF11

    Status of my perma beginner now:

    Nx clothes from last event, and I buy zombie-slime-mushroom nx weapon skin, just make it more fit with clothes.
    I will add transparent cape, eye acc, earrings in the next time, so it will looks like this:

    That's for today's updating. Thanks!

    Hello! Outside here! A lv93 perma beginner. It's near the end of 2020, and I think it's time for managing my current goal progress.

    upload_2020-12-16_13-37-15.png

    1. Get to level 100 as soon as possible.(hope before 2020 end)
    (This one is impossible for this year, but I will try my best to get to lv95 before 2020 end)
    2. Craft Crimson Arcglaive.(The highest att weapon perma beginner can wear now) (Done!)
    (Will craft more to see if I can get a max stats one)
    3. Make 15wa+ cape. (Already have a 7wa cape 4slots now)
    (RNG stuff, so I think just wait)
    4. Collect monster cards to make Ring Tier 6 or maybe Tier 7 all by this character own.
    (Tier 3 now btw, maybe Tier 5 or 6 in next year)
    5. Solo Headless Horseman (Done!) and Spirit of Rock once.
    (Spirit of Rock is too hard to find and hit harder than HH, I will save some mesos for creating more HP gears to prepare the battle)
    6. Do my left quests if I forget to do or not do.
    (700 quests now and more coming!)

    This is the video for Tier 3 Monster Ring and 700 quests commentary:



    And the picture of HH duo with OmokTeacher recently:
    (The whole video can be found in this post)

    Hello Fellas! Gonna short upgrade some stuff I have done recently:

    1. Craft my 2nd and 3rd Crimson Arcglaive [​IMG] MapleF11 !!

    The stats are below:
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG] -> [​IMG] (Get 1st 30% pass lol)

    But all boom with 30% though, no regrets!

    Some crimson woods are bought from FM or get help from my DK and some ppl's generous help.
    Will do more exchange to get a max 107wa one.

    2. Lv95 reached !!

    Finally I can wear my current endgame weapon -- 120wa PSB.
    And this is my stats and range now:
    [​IMG]
    (With Cider + Echo, and the max range is almost 4k!)

    3. Solo a few Boss run !

    I document some solo boss runs in videos below, anyone who interested in can check them out!

    Blue Mushmom solo run:


    Snack Bar solo run:


    Capt Latanica solo run:
    Forgot to film it, but I got a screenshot to prove it:
    [​IMG]

    All these solo run are quite fun, seeking more boss run I can do in the future.

    Recently I also think of remaking a full STR and HP-washing perma beginner, probably I will also document some of his life in here too.

    Keep in touch, and also in my country we are celebrating Lunar New Year so... Happy Niu(Ox) Year~
