The Optimal Path to End-Game

If you are new to MapleLegends and had any questions regarding where to start or how to play this game properly, this is pretty much a one-stop shop and the only guide you will need to reach end-game.

Goal: To have an end-game attacker with an end-game weapon ASAP.

1. Create 6 characters, each on a different account so that you can immediately start voting on all 6 each day.
2. For your first character, make a cleric/priest/bishop. This will be the first character you level up so that you can get the leech cycle going. Save up all your mesos, don't gear up anything since you won't need it on any of your characters and it'll just delay reaching your goal to end-game.
3. Once your bishop gets Genesis, self leech 5 characters - 4 mages and 1 INT assassin.
4. Make sure to advance at 3rd job so that you can make use of your INT assassin as a sweeper, meso up, and NX looting mule. This will expedite your NX gains on your main attacker.
5. Once all 6 of your characters reach ~lvl 125, you can start pentamage farm while you leech your Night Lord/Sweeper Mule/Meso Up mule/NX mule/future attacker.
6. Repeat process until your Night Lord is lvl 160+ with enough HP to boss and have farmed enough mesos to get at least a 74 attack craven (600m~).
7. Horntail and pentamage farm leech until 180+, then pentamage farm leech + pb until you have a perfect claw completed.

Added tips:

• Hoard white scrolls until you can buy a finished end-game weapon directly.
• Leave your mage ultimate skills at lvl 1 and get maple warrior 10 instead. This will help you save on pots and you should still be able to kill most mobs with 1 hit. Invest in Gen20 on your bishop (less than 6m each) once you start farming.

Nothing else is required. You can probably skip tier10 ring in favor of 100 hours of pentamage farming. Participate in events if the rates are good, but most likely you will be able to partially farm the events through pentamage farming anyways.

A couple of reasons why this strategy works:

• White scrolls are attainable through participating in the market (meso) and by gachaponing. Quad/Pentamage farming is the optimal strategy for both gaining mesos and gachapon (in addition to exp).
• Night lords are highly efficient in every aspect of this strategy - best end-game attackers, meso up mules, high avoid for sweeping, flash jump for efficient map travel.
• You expedite your washing stage by sweeping NX on your main attacker. 1.2k NX/hour per channel is my recorded average.
• Your main attacker gains levels passively by leeching, farming, and hoarding white scrolls ad infinitum until end-game.

I posted this in discussion to receive community feedback on any steps I might have missed or if there are ways to better improve upon this strategy.

 

Does a MU-less hexamage set up outclass a pentamage set up with MU? I guess with the current sweeper changes, going MU-less and adding additional mages might be the move. Speed/jump equip could be a viable strat.

As for end-game bossing, if mages really are capable of outclassing other 'attacker' classes, there is no point in even mage farming, and EXP truly is king.

 

Your argument is flawed if your goals are the same.

You will spend more time in the game by trying to farm to end-game by selling fame each day, thus you will lose out on opportunity cost - that is time that could be spent working at a burger king for $11 an hour after you have completed your goals using the pentamage farming strategy. Assuming you can sell fame once a day for 500k and end-game gear costs ~8-10 billion mesos, your strategy would take 16-20,000 days. The pentamage farming strat can get you to end game in less than a year.

 

Yes, except this is my thread and I set the conditions in the original post with the goal:

Your post does nothing to achieve the aforementioned goal. If you want to make a separate thread about The Optimal Path to Playing as a Function of Enjoyment to Time, be my guest.

I'd have to agree here and may have to revisit my original post eventually.

 

What new players?

Edit: I also like how you conveniently left out the rest of my quote.
