MapleStory Guides

Here are a couple of chairs that heal a pretty good amount of MP every 10 seconds.

Golden Seal (Henesy’s Gach) heals 60MP
Miwok Chairs heal 65MP

You can approximately get about 4,000 dojo points per day. This image shows you the message you get when you have exceeded the daily amount.

Hey I found this guide on the sleepywood forum, written by sw2009. Thought you guys might like to read it.

Assumptions

Assuming DPM for the following (Correct me if I am wrong)
(Thanks for pointing out to me not everyone has Godly equipments, will assume average equip for everyone to be on the safe side, but the 16k base hp and 26k hb should be the minimum requirement for ranged.)(Will reduce all dpms to be on the safe side)

1. NL - at least 10m
2. BM- at least 9m MM-at least 8m
3. Hero - at least 6m
4. Paladin - 6m (lightning charge)
5. Drk - at least 6 m
6. Shadower - at least 5m
7. Bishop - 0 dpm

—-
Assumptions

1. Pink bean is neutral to poison and lightning
2. Ariel does at least 13k damage
3. Pink bean does at most 25k damage touch damage and at most 11k long range damage
4. Reflect from Pink Bean damage ranges from 5-15k - thereby requiring ranged attackers to have 26k hp with hb in case of unforseen tragedies.
5. Damaged to Pink Bean is halved, so that means its hp is 4.2b when calculating it.
—–

Assumptions

1. Auto Potting is required.
2. Apples,…etc supply are to be made for that 1h run
3. Please include the avoid pills or etc to increase the Avoid of everyone
4. Every member is familiar with the layout of Pink Bean Map and where to stand.
5. Shadowers should have 100m with them in the event that meso explosion(last resort) is required for Pink Bean, Phases 1-4 should not utilize meso explosion if possible.
6. Note in extreme cases when Pink Bean reflect is on, Dark Knight may have to remain idle and try to remain alive by not attacking Pink Bean. Their hb is more important than damage dealing.

Killing 5 hp bars

There are alot of HP Bars , total of 5 Hp Bars + Pink Been Personal Hp Bar , Meaning to say , there are 5 phrases to battle in .

Phrase 1 : Wiseman Solomon [300m] HP

Phrase 2 : Wiseman Solomon [300m] HP + Wiseman Rex [300m] HP

Phrase 3 : Wiseman Solomon [300m] HP + Wiseman Rex [300m] HP +Huigin [450m] HP

Phrase 4 : Wiseman Solomon [300m] HP + Wiseman Rex [300m] HP +Huigin [450m] HP + Munin [450m] HP

Phrase 5 : Wiseman Solomon [300m] HP + Wiseman Rex [300m] HP +Huigin [450m] HP + Munin [450m] HP + Ariel (600m+say400m for allowance) + Pink Been (4.2b)

*Note : You have 8 Seconds to walk from Right To left after every Phrase- Please don’t jump or flash jump. Shadowers and Nl will caste haste.*

Total Hp + allowance will be = 9750m

Logistics and Assumptions:

Apples are 2 be prepared in advance.

Typing should not be used to communicate, rather an external software that allows microphone will be preferred.

Some1 is required to lead and guide through the boss run through microphone.

AutoPot is a must

Absolutely no jumping or flash jump. Only haste is used.

Leader should warn when Pink bean is changing form and direct attackers on where to stand.

Assumption: No death and Pink bean is successful pinned.

No deaths due to lag.

AutoPot allows an attacker to Pot after damage from reflect and hp is full before next attack.

Otherwise the below build may seem safer

Team for high survivability- highest possibility of downing Pink Bean IMO

4 parties of

1 mm for SE kb and does 199k to pink bean(with 26k hp a mm shld be able to survive reflect)
2 night lord - attacker
1 dark knight - hyperbody for them to survive reflect+ damage
1 shadower - smoke screen at phase 5
1 bishop - for dispel at phase 5 - no healing

Min Hp for all +hyperbody is 26k
Hp for dark knight is 30k

Dpm for each party is at least 40 dpm

Melee Party would be

1 party for pinning pink bean that consists of

1 dark knight, (hb)
1 marksman(for se +kb + 199k damage to pink bean)
1 hero
2 paladins (lightning charge)
1 bishop (dispel)

Dpm for the party is at least 30 m

Min hp for shadower with hb is 26k
The rest with hb is 30k (exc bishop, bishop need min mp and hp to survive)

Total Dpm of the 5 parties = 190m

9750/190 = 51.31 min

ETC = 51.31 min + unforseen circumstances 5min <1h

–
On a side note, Pink bean requires 23min of uninterrupted damage dealing to down it
With the status ..etc, Bishop has to spam dispel.
Estimated time to kill Pink bean is 26-27mins. It is highly desireable that after downing Ariel, you should be left with at least 30-35 mins.

Note :- Marksman are very important at the last stage for downing PB, Bishop Please help them to stay alive. They are supposed to deal 199k damage to pink bean. After shadowers smoke screen the 4 marksman are supposed to snipe PB.
Assuming no one dies, by the 20th minute, PB should be dead.

Some thoughs on killing Pink Bean

I was thinking along the line that after the 4 parties has gone into smoke screen

the 5 marksman can snipe at least 3 times against pink bean
the paladin can heaven’s hammer(sanctuary) at least twice against pink bean
the 4 shadowers can ds + assasinate +bs at least twice against pink bean

In the event that they do full damage , It will be
marksman 199k x5 x3 approximately 3m
paladin hh(sanctuary) approx 199kx2 = 400k
4 shadowers assasinate = not sure on the optimum damage here
Total = approx 3.4m of theoretical damage

Hope that some1 will down Pink Bean soon.

Remember Pink bean requires the effort of the server and there are many washed players around, except that they may not be prominent, it takes effort to find them.

Happy Mapling and Good luck to all

—

BTW, Corsairs have high DPM too… instead of NLs , you can substitute your party with some 16k hp corsairs.

Though NLs may be preferred for their high avoidance which will be higher + other avoidance pot…

—

MM should be included for their kb but finding 26k with hb is a challenge.

—

However the real challenge is finding

at least 8 nl with at least 16k hp ,26k hb
at least 4 shadowers with at least 16k hp,26k hb
at least 5 bm/mm with at least 16k hp,26k hb
at least 3 hero 3 paladin 5 dark knight with 30k hp with hb

In Conclusion

This party together with the fact that
Keeping Pink Bink pinned to the left (to avoid being seduced and bomb with Genesis like thingy) will enable everyone to have an easier time.

Warning!- No one… Absolutely no one must stand on the left of Pink Bean, all must stand on its right hand side.

Mesos Guide

So you’re just starting out in Maplestory and you’re in need of mesos to buy certain equipment or whatnot. This is the ultimate guide to earn mesos when just starting out, and tips in this guide should be used even when you’re level 70, it’s that helpful! There are a few basic rules you should follow on your road to making millions of mesos, these rules should guide you throughout the game, even when you aren’t a newbie anymore. Let’s begin this mesos making guide.

Beware of Scammers, Cheaters, & Thieves!

When you’re just starting out make sure you know the ins and outs of scammers in games. Every single online multiplayer game has scammers trying to cheat you out of your mesos and steal anything and everything they can from you. You need to be on the lookout for these sorts of people, what they usually do and how they act. Scammers usually have offers that seem way to good to be true, they will want you to trade your mesos, your items or anything else you might have without them giving you anything in return but a “promise” of something great in the future. At times they will promise you millions of mesos or super rare items if you give them something at that moment in time, and of course after you give them that certain item they run off and you’ll never hear from them again. Also remember probably the most important thing in the game, and that’s to never ever give your password or pin to anybody in the game, on any website, or any program that you download! Overall you just need to be cautious and always on the lookout for scammers, if something is too good to be true, it probably is, and if possible try to ALWAYS use the trade system or markets when making transactions for items and whatever else you may need.

Always Have Room In Inventory, Pick Everything Up!
You just killed a monster and he drops a small red potion? Do you pick it up or just say “forget it” and walk away? If you don’t pick it up then that’s a loss for you, when you think about it, if you eventually got to level 30 it probably means you killed thousands of monsters, tens of THOUSANDS perhaps! Now imagine EVERY single item you left behind, that you thought wasn’t worth picking up, it’s so sad when people just leave drops lying around and not pick them up. If you pick up as many items as you can, no matter how crappy or unowrthy they are, I promise you’ll be making MILLIONS of mesos from selling them later on. Every time you do a quest, make sure you empty out your inventory before heading out. That way when you’re killing monsters you can pick up and collect as many items in your inventory as possible. If you don’t make thousands of mesos each trip you make you can come back and blame me for a terrible tip, but honestly you’ll thank me for doing so!

The Market Is A Gold Mine!
If you want to buy an item that you need, or you found something that you think could be worth a lot, don’t just buy it or sell it to someone right away if you think you’re getting a good price. When you do that without checking the market prices you are bound to lose money by either buying something that is overpriced or selling your items way under value. Always check the market, see offers and prices for that item in different places and make sure you’re getting the most mesos out of the deal as possible, by either saving mesos when you buy and making mesos when you sell.

Farming Monster Drops
Depending on what level you are, you may need mesos for a certain item that you need, such as equipment or something else that you want. One way I found to getting a ton of mesos is farming certain monsters that you can easily beat and that drop good items that a lot of people want. The best thing to do is as you go along doing quests note down which quests require certain items that you can find on the market, and when you actually do the quests see how easily you can find those items from monster drops and keep that in mind. What you can do now is farm those monsters over and over and over again collecting the quest item drop, plus getting experience, plus getting other items and mesos that they drop. After you do this a ton of items and get tired of it you’ll find yourself with hundreds (hopfully!) of that certain quest item, now head over to the market and sell those items! Note: Before you actually do this, make sure that the items you farm are actually worth a good amount, or if they aren’t worth as much as you were hoping for maybe the drop rate is really good so instead of getting an item every 20 monster kills thats worth 10k mesos, you can get an item worth 5k but that drops every 8 monster kills, in the long run you’ll be making a ton more!

Note: This is a work in progress… this guide will be updated over time, bookmark it and check back often!

Hey, here’s a couple videos I found on Youtube that show you the locations of the Windraiders and also a few tips on how to train and level up once you reach them. Check out the two videos below:

Video 1 & Video 2 for Windraider Location, Leveling Up and Training Spots!

If you need Dark Crystal Ores for your advancement quest below are a list of monsters that drop them. The monsters with the best drop rate for the Dark Crystal Ore are bolded (I may be wrong, but I think these are the best ones to try to go after).

Dropped by: Drum Bunny, Jr. Boogie, Paper Lantern Ghost, Dark Cloud Fox, Dark Stone Golem, Wraith, Malady, Dark Nependeath, Luster Pixie, Grizzly, Dark Jr. Yeti, Samiho, Sr. Bellflower Root, Pac Pinky, Slimy, Dark Pepe, Dark Yeti, Lazy Buffy, Master Soul Teddy, Mr. Anchor, Buffoon, Hankie, Dark Klock, Deep Buffoon, Eliza, Dark Yeti & Pepe, Red Kentaurus, Phantom Watch, Gigantic Spirit Viking, Squid, Green Cornian, Dark Cornian, Skelosaurus, Thanatos

I was reading around some forums and found this post about transferring items on some of your characters from one account to another. You can do multiple things, either wait a bit and get the items safely, or if you want them right away you can do something more risky. Here’s the snippet of the post, hope it helps you on transfering items between accounts.

As the others said, Duey is the safest way to go, unless you have some very trustable friends to hold for you. It takes while, though.

The fastest and safest way of them all, is to be on 2 computers, and trade between both of your chars.

What I use to do, is kind of risky, but chances that I lose my stuff are very small, as well. I put my mule/looter in some FM, (say 20), then I go in FM 20 on my main character, copy/paste my pin (so it’s faster to type it in when I relog), drop the item in a corner where people who enter the FM can’t see it at first, then log off, write your password really fast, hold ctrl, then press V (as you hold ctrl) as soon as the pin window opens, press enter, click your server, the channel you dropped in, and take your item (since you’re already in the right FM).

The whole process takes about 10 seconds. But then again, it’s risky for the weak-minded.

There are currently two events running in Maplestory for November 2008, they are:

The 7-Eleven Event

Gachapon Box Event

You can read more about both events on the official Maplestory Website by followling the links above.

Certificate of the Dragon Squad is obtained by completing a quest which requires you to get a certificate from Papulatus, Pianus and Zakum and completing Horntail PQ (not actually fighting) for 3 marks. It is used to skip the Horntail PQ to bring you in the room to sign up and fight Horntail.

Here are all the links on this blog to leveling guides, this will be updated every time a new guide is written on leveling up and training spots.
