Do you utilize multiple mages for profit or?

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by Myungsoo, Dec 28, 2021.

Do you utilize multiple Mages for profit?

  1. Yes, I (sometimes) farm using at least 2 Mages

    26.0%
  2. No, I only use a single Mage/Bishop for profit

    23.4%
  3. No, I have a Mage/Bishop but NOT for profit

    26.0%
  4. I do not have any 120+ Mage/Bishop but I'm working on it

    8.4%
  5. I do not have any 120+ Mage/Bishop, and (probably) won't make any

    I'm just curious what percentage of Legends is really utilizing the mage meta. Sometimes I do feel like it's Mage story, but in reality, is it really that large of a percentage?

    Not sure if I agree with you. 75-120 took me a little over 6 days during my break without leech (feel free to look up my mage 128bit on ranking). Having zero fundings. After that it's even easier because you can just leech yourself.

    What exactly do you mean by this choice:
    "No, I have a Mage/Bishop but NOT for profit"

    Because I have a mage and obviously need to make profits with it just as you would do with any other char in the game. except it's pretty much fully reinvested into the same mage for me

    Sorry for my vague description. By profit I mean to fund your main (attacker) unless your main is a Mage obviously

    Taking a sample from the forums is going to heavily skew towards later game players.

    I made quad mages but am demotivated from using them because it's tiring to pilot (feels like a job) and I don't have a goal right now.

    The reason why I made them?
    I cannot afford WS through bossing and I hate selling leech. It seemed like the next logical step given the rising WS prices and unaffordability crisis. So when you can't beat them, join them?

    I don't see multi-maging as a problem though, it's more the underlying problem of not enough WS entering the server. So I'm hopeful for the next patch.

    People turn to radical ideas(such as making 4 mages) to make mesos when bossing becomes unprofitable and the economy is collapsing. This is why I fully believe problems with the economy should be taken care of before any mesos making strategy is nerfed. In the event that making mesos becomes increasingly difficult while the white scrolls and chaos scroll prices rise exponentially, the average player becomes heavily handicapped.

    Sorry if this is completely off topic, but is playing mage story only necessary for super end game like horntail and pb? I only started playing since mid september on and off, and I keep seeing this term used once in a while. If my only goal is maybe, just maybe at most ht, do I even need to worry about mega funding myself by making that many mules to sell leech?

    Yes, and normal people would also consistently mention their 550 int beginner in a casual way when it's not even at that level yet.

    It's never necessary. You can play Legends perfectly fine without mages at all. You can compare it to working out with or without the right food. You'll get stronger, just a lot slower.

    For reference, half my income is from gachapon, but I'm particularly lucky it seems, so I'm not sure if that's good context whatsoever.

    never had a mage, played only a hero till lvl 169, no other chars other den pots n storage mules. i've earned 100m (non gacha) and spent them all twice. if i was more careful with my spending i would be able to get myself a 200m sword. lvl 160+ with a 200m weapon, imo is very HT ready.

    i didn't join HT (too time consuming, not for me) but I joined 4-man cwkpq before so, I think its pretty doabl

    Nah, you don't need mage story to do Pinkbean and Horntail.

    For Pinkbean, you DO need to wash considerably. Speaking personally, I'm not gonna screen your attack gear before you are allowed to sign on a 30-man run. That just sounds toxic.

    However, I am gunna check your level and see if your class fits in the composition. Sadly, I usually have to prioritize washed range (>11.5k HP before HB) once general cleave slots are full because of the nature of the boss.

    So if you want to join stuff like 6man HT or Pinkbean, be high level/play a class that's useful/host your own run.

    The Magestory only occurs when you've finished your mid-game gear (14att glove, 9+ att cape, 500m+ weapon) and are now aiming for perfect items requiring White Scrolls (usually a weapon first) for your own personal satisfaction. But not having a perfect weapon doesn't necessarily bar you from content, your level and class and wash does.

    That's some hefty mid game gear.

    I utilize my Bishop to keep the Maplers save from the exploding houses in which the greatest enemy of the Maple world resides. The Goby. Mathematicians estimate that I have killed well over 3 million Goby fish and will continue doing so untill they no longer exist.

    I feel like this survey doesn't really tell us much in depth. I'd be more interested in knowing people's responses in relation to how long they've been a part of this server.

    How is everyone feeling? That last round of 2022 Balance Fixes took some shots at multi-mages. Would you still recommend multi-mage as a viable option?

    you also can just use an hb mule or wash very early and use elemental weakness spots to cover the lack of m.att, i don't know why you're using your numbers as if it were the truth its just your reality lol, multimage isn't that hard, selling 1 hour of mid level leech can buy 1 hour of leech for 3~4 characters and you can rush it

    multimage is always going to be an viable option, not only viable, but OP.
    I don't think you can go wrong doing 4 mages, but maps who's receiving more mages than that are getting nerfed, so i don't recommend more than this

    i'm not making fun of you, i just want to point what you can do if you take a break from normal activies, each one have their own priority and im not boasting myself, leveling is just alot of braindead playtime.
    My whole point is about how you didn't supposed to use your numbers like this, i can't play 15 minutes per day and blame staff for making endgame achieveable only in 3 years, understand?
