    Hi everyone! This is the start of my own Corsair journal, mostly inspired by akashskyakashsky after reading through his journals and his guide!

    My journal starts here:

    Why do I start here? Because I'm inted (220 base int) and figured going through pages of leeching isn't the most fun.

    Im keeping this journal to keep track of my goals, aswell as some sort of motivator to keep going!

    First day as a Corsair was eventful. As Corsair there are 5 skills you can unlock (6 if you count Maple Warrior), each of them giving a big EXP reward as bonus. So that's what I did

    ~Unlocking the skills~
    First skill to unlock was the boat itself. Which isn't hard. All one has to do is survive for a small period of time while getting blasted in the face. Good times.

    Second and third skill which are the attacking skills of your boat you can unlock simultaneously in Ludi, I did dog shit damage but I got the job done.

    Fourth skill I did was Arial strike, nothing much to say here because I did not take a screenshot during any of it. Yes I'm good at keeping journals. But here is some proof !!

    Fifth and final skill was Hypnotize. I'm not sure if I will ever use this since I've read it's kinda bugged but the EXP was definitely worth it. Gotta protect my lil friend here to get it.

    After I got all my skills I was a whopping 64% !! Talking about easy EXP.

    ~Gear and stats~
    For gear goals I mostly just go with what sensei Akashsky wrote down in his guide.
    Click link below for his guide
    https://forum.maplelegends.com/inde...ir-works-a-comprehensive-corsair-guide.27336/

    He has two different "goals" a Corsair has to reach. "Late Game" and "End Game"
    Then there's also this avoid setup that I spend way too much time in to find the avoid formula and make it into some sort of calculator for myself .. but thats for WAY down the line, so let's ignore that one for now.

    Let's see how I do, first going for Late Game, since that's the first one to reach.

    Guide goals / What I have
    Zhelm 27 + Dex / Unscrolled Zhelm
    Earring 10+ Dex Earring 10 Dex
    Eye: 2+ Dex spectrum goggle/ 7 Dex 7 Str 2 slot spectrum goggle
    Face: 7+ Dex Rat mouth or mask / 7 Dex Mask
    Pendant: MoN 5+ atk or HTP 23 Dex 23 Str / Silver deputy star 5 Dex 5 Str
    Overall: 20+ Str / 21 Str
    Cape: 6+ atk Pink Adventurer or Gaia Cape / 10 atk 2 slot Gaia Cape
    Gloves: 14 atk / 14 atk
    Weapon: 100+ atk gun / 79 atk 8 dex Maple Canon Shooter
    Shoes: 2+ atk or 10+ Dex / 3 Dex 5 slot Black Basile Boots.

    What we can learn from this is that I got alot of work to do. First things first, I need a weapon. Problem is, I need 3 more Str to be able to wear a Concerto. (This is WITH +2 zombie ring and Tier 4 monsterbook ring)
    My stats with this gear are:
    upload_2024-12-4_19-47-54.png

    Got a long way to go chat but that's what we are here for anyway!

    ~Short and Longterm goals~
    First things first, I'm going to do the Horntail Prequest to buy myself an AFK HTP service.
    With that HTP I can wear a Concerto or a Dragonfire Revolver. I intend to try and scroll one myself.

    Other short term goals are:
    - Upgrade my ellin ring and try to get it +3
    - Upgrade monsterbook ring to atleast level 5
    - Run Ravana and Papulatus for EXP and maybe some pouches (read get carried by girlfriend ShnappieShnappie )

    Long term goals for now:
    - Get to 135 to reloot ZHELM with better stats to start scrolling it.
    - When at 135 Zakum + Krex ALOT
    - MP wash goal ends at 140. I will have, when fully put MP > HP 20K+ HP

    Even though the "long term" goals seem to be close I still think it will take me some time. I don't intend to buy more leech, and I will probably not leech myself. Even if I would I'm no leeching machine and it will take a long time still.

    Money making wise, I'm not really sure what to do. Probably easy bossing for pouches with the girlfriend and gacha from card hunting.

    I do have a bucc that I run Horntail on, but for now that's only once a week on NightzNightz his hosted runs. PLEASE CONTINUE HOSTING I NEED IT.

    There was a time where I hosted my own runs sometimes up to 3 times a week! But those times are long gone for now.. who knows.. maybe one day.

    ~Keeping count~

    Since I'm a nerd with way too many excel spread sheets dedicated to Maple ofcourse I have to have a section dedicated to some numbers.

    BOSS RUNS / POUCHES / COIN SPLIT FOR ME
    Ravana: 2 / 0 / 0

    Ok this looks sad but we all gotta start somewhere am I right?
