Zakum advice

Here is a pre quest guide for zakum: https://forum.maplelegends.com/index.php?threads/zakum-prequest-guide.2738/.

After completing, you can buy afk Zak (allowed to die and will be resurrected during the run) or regular/non afk zak, in which you will have to survive the run without dying. (Not 100% sure if level mages can survive regular runs. Would probably opt for for afk for less stress).

There are a plethora of sellers on the discord FM channel, or can look out for smegas in game selling the service.

 

as a lv50 mage, you can survive at zakum. if youre on a regular run (non-afk zak), you will need to survive and its important to keep your hp at above 600~ and mp above 2600~. ginger ales or power elixirs will help. if youre setting a pet to auto pot, dont forget to use a potion that heals both mp/hp on MP pouch, it will make things easier when zak uses 1/1 attacks

 

afk zak is always best imo as you dont use expensive pots to keep yourself alive. and this way if something goes wrong its the sellers fault and not your own.

AFK-Zak = no stress, no pots, sit and chill for 20-30 minutes, get a helm.
REG-Zak = all stress, many pots, no time to chill for 20-30 minutes, also get a helm.

 

While the cost saving is minor, the primary reason I like to advocate for normal service is the excitement

AFK Zak Service is low-stress. You can just hangout and chat. However... if you're a warrior/mage, Normal Service is more of a thrill! It's a surmountable challenge, and kinda a rush if you enjoy that sorta on-the-edge-of-your-seat experience.
