Help with Late HP Washing (Lv61 Assassin)

Hey guys, I just started MapleLegends about a month or two now. I'm a level 61 Assassin, and I never knew anything about HP Washing until just now. when I hear that in order to basically do any of the Endgame content without getting destroyed, I should at least HP Wash a little bit. I really don't want to restart my character since i've invested so much time already, so I decided It'd probably be best to do some late washing and just boss with Hyper body.

I wanted to ask if anybody can help me make sure I'm planning everything right, and if anybody could help verify my calculations and explain a bit about the actual Washing process.

My Current Base Stats:
STR 7
INT 6
DEX 25
LUK 281
HP: 1795
MP:1073

I've tried following the guides for late washing here, and came up with this calculation:

Spoiler: Calculations

1073 Total MP No Equips
- 1002 Minimum MP At Lv 61
= 71 Additional MP

155 - (lv 61 + 10) = 84 Washing Levels

684 - 71 Add.MP = 613 Required MP

613 Required MP / 84 Washing Levels = 7 Int per level

Int Stat after all Equips: 47 INT

7 INT per level - 47 Total INT = 40 Additional Int

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the way I interpret this is that I'm supposed to be putting all of my fresh level up AP into INT for 8 more levels until I have 40 base INT, on top of my 41 int from equips.

Do I save my fresh AP starting from level 69 all the way until 155 to invest in HP, and Swap out my MP and Base INT for my main stats with AP Resets?

If so, I'm assuming I need enough NX for a total of 124 AP resets (84 for the "washing levels?" + the 40 INT i had to invest? I'm also unsure what a "washing level" means exactly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

 

Thanks so much for the explanation, I think I'm starting to understand now.

So, say I bought some more INT equipment. Do I still need to add int until base is 160, or do I subtract any extra INT i get from equips from this number to adjust for what I need? (Ex: 60 INT from equips, add only int until base int reaches 140?)

 

Ahhh okay, so that base INT is for gaining more MP per AP during step 4, and having more INT equips can just give you more gains overall after level up. I never quite understood the MP washing aspect but hopefully thats correct or at least close.

Were the calculations you came up with there for an end goal of 11k HP before hyper body? I'd like to wash as much as possible and as optimally as possible, but nearly 1,000 AP resets would have me daily voting for almost two years before I could actually finish from the looks of it. Since this is my main/only character I'm interested in playing, I'm unsure if i could go that hard without completely halting my character progression along the way. I haven't played Maple in over a decade and never made it past level 70, so I really don't know how long it even takes to get to level 155 so maybe it's not as bad as it sounds. Basically, as long as I can survive Zak, HT, and other endgame bosses/PQ after Hyper Body I'll be okay with that. Is there a middle ground somewhere for it to not be so expensive, or is that just how it's gonna be if i'm deciding to wash?

Thanks again for all the help and info!

 

Thanks a ton guys, will be following everything exactly as noted!
