    I'm not sure what the original reason for nerfing this item was, but I propose that the speed stat be reinstated on the Maple Umbrella.

    The Maple Umbrella on Legends has the speed stat completely removed, and is a common 1H-Sword with 40-50 attack. It's outclassed by the Maple Sword, which provides more attack as well as additional accuracy.

    We currently have a variety of event equips of a similar level/attack that give speed (EG: Maplemas Lights and Lifeguard Saver), so it would be nice to see this Anniversary item brought up to scratch.

    I write this post from the perspective of an Islander, where speed is a desired stat. If there are reasons this change would be detrimental to the health of the server off the island, someone please chime in - however, I have my doubts considering the other event weapons listed above.

    I thought something was off so I tried to research it and found this thread. Although, I remember Royals having the speed on their umbrella. I am not sure why it is removed. Obtaining a Maple Umbrella is as rare as trying to get a PAC or a PGC.

    Interesting you bring up the islander part. We do try to keep the islanders as they are when doing events, which is why you might notice trades, drop pickups, and FM button are all disabled on shared event maps. It's possible that Islanders were considered when adding maple umbrella without speed due to your reason that speed is so valuable on the island

    It's certainly possible, I have no idea what the initial logic was. Whatever the case, we already have pretty on-par event equips with +SPEED from Christmas and Summer events - it just seems redundant given the Maplemas Lights, Red Whips, and Lifeguard Saver.

    I don't speak for all islanders, but for myself personally, any weapon without +speed is just a collection item. I'd just really like to see more variety in usable weapons I guess, and the umbrella came with speed in it's vanilla state, so I'm hoping this suggestion isn't too far-fetched to be considered.

    Yeah, it's really uncommon - and basically a decorative item at this point. I'd love to see it have some utility.
