    Had this idea a loooong time ago.

    The idea is that since there are other facets to the game beyond racing up the levels, to determine just how far you've truely come with your character, you take an average of the different rankings...

    I came up with more than one way to do this and people will probably come up with better ones so I will make a list of the measurements we can use to race one another.

    Curious how people compare with me!
    (And also to see what scores a certain guildmate of mine will have >.>)

    The Systems:

    Rank Average (Job): (Job Rank + Quest Rank + Fame Rank + Card Rank) /4
    (ranks where you place against others of your class, the smaller the better)
    (felt like it's fairer to compare by class since some levels are harder for some classes)

    Rank Average (Overall): (All Rank + Quest Rank + Fame Rank + Card Rank) /4
    (ranks where you place against everyone, the smaller the better)

    Total Progress: (Level + Quests + Fame + Cards - Deaths)
    (the bigger the better)

    Variations:
    > Rank Average (sub-class)
    i.e. hunter/crossbowman
    > Total Progress (w/out deaths)
    metagame perspective, fairer across jobs
    > Multiple Characters: average of them all
    reflective of a "player profile"

    Rank Average (Job): 468.25
    (748 + 119 + 213 + 886) / 4

    Rank Average (All): 2248.25
    (7775 + 119 + 213 + 886) / 4

    Total Progress: 2060
    (92 + 884 + 392 + 785 - 93)

    And to show that level isn't everything, here's Hotguy6pack as reference:
    Rank Average (Job/All): 395
    (1 + 1118 + 66) /3 (cards N/A)
    Total Progress: 1305 <--- (I beat him here!)
    (200 + 481 + 666 + 0 - 42)

    but i don't believe dying impedes progress unless you aren't using safety charms. i just die a lot because it's an occupational hazard of being a bowmaster and part of the FOREST PATROL.

    Perhaps one could use the sub-class rank in place of job rank to see how you would rank against others of the same sub-class, since you can filter by that now. For eg, https://maplelegends.com/ranking/hunter for bowmasters.

    Anyhow,

    Rank Avg (Job):
    (286 + 1133 + 1100 + 247) / 4 = 691.5

    Rank Avg (OA):
    (514 + 1133 + 1100 + 247) / 4 = 748.5

    TP:
    174 + 470 + 181 + 1547 - 59 = 2313

    FoxBye Here's the inspiration behind this post. Probably the highest rank average in the game.

    Since cards were introduced late, I would say if you haven't had the chance to collect cards simply omit that rank and divide by 3.
    Also, added a multiple character variation; you could take the average of ALL your characters for an ultimate average.

    Fair point, but I still feel like it's very metagame-y to "use" deaths for things and to use safety charms.
    I put it down as a variation, depends on perspective. I do agree that deathcount is a little unfair on people like us (archers lol), and it looks like a lot of people have issue with it.
    I had in mind a "weighted" system but it seems a little overcomplicated.

    Also, added Oradious's variation.
    And a poll, for fun...

    Nope! I plan on updating this as I go. I just got my F/P to 85 and am now working on my Sniper. It'll be fun watching those numbers drop DRAMATICALLY! lol

    Going to Tier 2 only improved my rank by about 1,000. This is definitely a logarithmic decay.

    Now at Tier 3 on my Sniper and improved my rank by 100. I continue on a logarithmic decay progression.

    Tier 4 and my Sniper improved its overall rank by about 50 while my job rank improved by 1. So...the logarithmic decay is beginning to destabilize at this point.

    Tier 5 and my Sniper improved its overall rank by about 200 while my job rank improved by 50. This may indicate a turning point in where people stop trying.

    Moving up to Level 85 having done as many quests as possible improved overall rank by 700 and job rank by 300. Next up is my Marauder...

    Finished bringing my Marauder to 85. I dropped 11,300 places on the Job Rankings and World Rankings, while increasing total progress by 1100. This might be the last time I update this. LOL
