    It's a no brainer question right?

    Why not just go straight for Zak Helm and THEN Targa helm?

    For one, my crippled sausage fingers can't finish the jump quest. Period.

    I've been stuck in there for ever 13 hours by this point and I just can't do it, nor does Legends have an alternative to the jump quest the way Royals does.

    Everyone else saying "be patient" or "It's easy" doesn't help one single jot.You think I didn't try that in the 13 hours I was in there?

    So I just wanted to ask you guys, is it viable for a Mage or a HP washing thief to just forgo the zak helmet and grind straight to 90 for the targa one instead, cos fuck off jump quests.

    I mean, it's just 40 MP sacrificed either way, which is nothing for the mage, and easily rectified with a few more MP washes for the thief. Right?

    If the thief is a NL in the making then no, you can not skip the Zakum JQ.
    You will eventually need Triple Throw which is only obtainable from Zakum.

    Does TT-less NL count as an odd job?

    13 is a lot of hours. If it's for ur sanity go for the Targa hat. 40 MP barely matters in the grand scheme, especially when you are mp washing a ranged character. If you want to make back the MP, just MP wash for one more level. Getting from 50-90 without leeching, and without a zhelm is pretty tough tho (with lots of base int). I would probably recommend you try and get the tier 4 Pirate hat, as in MapleLegends it has been buffed to be as strong as the Zakum hat. Prolly will take more than 13 hours of PQing, but you'll be getting xp as you go.

    Might I ask, how far did you get throughout your 13 hours of joy?

    Furthest I got was 3 quarters of the way past part 2, a little after that one rope right next to a poison exhaust that let's you bounce straight to the next rope without jumping.

    It probably sounds like I'm blaming something other than my own skills, but I've noticed during the jump quest that my high ping frequently caused what i'm seeing on the screen and what is actually happening to be two very different things.

    I got slapped out of the air by something invisible before I finally made that connection.

    If you have a PC you could get a wifi adapter and tether your phone to your PC. Would probably solve the ping issue, and if you're gonna boss your ping would probably make it impractical.
