ssf dec 2024

6 December, 2024

it was shining starforce on sunday
many mesos lost with questionable gains

mesnia:
12bil spent, +1mil combat power
got to switch from 5-piece abso set to 5-piece arcane set (!!!)
18* arcane bow, 17* acc set

clean set with no potentials (no monie) ...

runy:
15bil spent, +0 combat power
(19 star sup belt but lost INT% potential)
that's crazy what an unlucky grandpa

smilewell (17* CRA and 17* Abso wep/acc set) and zacki (some stuff) spent around 2bil together, with gains of 500k - 1mil power each

next ssf we will be saving for a full 17* CRA and Abso set (if everyone can be bothered to do the weeklies) for zacki

otherwise we are waiting for the next DMT which is probably going to be months from now

we love saving up though so it's ok

251

27 November, 2024

zacki is 251 at the moment, which makes him only 1 day behind schedule :D
Today he tried NSlime and timed out, hopefully he will succeed tomorrow to get the 18-star Challenger set
Todos for zacki:

• Get a Magnus medal ( T - T )
• Take down NSlime
• Get PNo secondary (should be obtainable by tomorrow?)

One thing that's difficult with zacki is his movement; NL movement is powerful but imprecise which makes mistakes pretty punishing.
He just zoooooms way past

inefficient trainer

This weekend will be a busy time with the cube sale and shining starforce being on the same weekend;
The bowmaster is very prepared with the equips they now know have been obtained through buggy means (the box drop rates have since been officially addressed and patched)

Weekend wishlist for bowmaster:

• 30x cube sale red cubes
• 30x cube sale blue cubes
• 20* CRA
• 18* arcane bow, cubed

For others:

• 17* CRA, Abso weapon for MM
• 18* belt, earring for zacki

night lord

23 November, 2024

a warm welcome to our new member, a night lord! :D

zacki, keeper of rot and regrets

zacki probably won't make it to 260 as fast, since the GMS edition of this event isn't giving out EXP Vouchers like the other regions had.
but that's ok zacki we will still love you

he is currently sitting at level 227, at a comfortable 4mil combat power.

on the bowmaster main, she has continued to pray for arcane weapon boxes

and her prayers were answered (HWill)

This meant a lot since it either saves 7bil in mesos, or saves having to sacrifice a bunch of event resources.
Relieved, she went on to do CGloom:

"weh?"

With her 366 drop rate, she managed to drop a weapon box, an armor box, and a ring box.
That's crazy!!!

Since the patch, some people are getting a lot of boxes, and some people are still getting none.
We're not sure if it's a temporary bug.
Congrats to the bowmaster either way!! :D
She also cleared party VHilla dn HDnell for the first time this week!!

v255 Maintenance

21 November, 2024

hi

It's been ~5 hours extended maintenance so far, and all are losing their minds :3

I thought the burns would be 1x260 burn, and 1x200 burn, but I guess it's going to be 2x260 burns from what everyone is saying
that's a lot of MapleStory :D
also, taking into consideration the new Item Burning, I've decided that it's more resourceful to burn a NL rather than a Hero !
last time I was able to get from 0 - 260 in 9 days, I'd like to see if I can speedrun it even faster this time :DD
my log from the last hyperburn:

in the meantime I've started setting up the goodies page, there are a couple of backgrounds there now!

hope the game comes up soooonish

ring of restraint 2

18 November, 2024

I dropped a ring box recently, and got my first Ring of Restraint ! !
(Level 2)

I tried it out in blockulatus to feel like one of those pro streamers

powwweeeeerrrrrr

the levels are as follows

While I personally think Lv. 2 still sounds great, it's pretty unusable :D

legion relay / next event planning

17 November, 2024

My Legion Relay has been complete!

nicely lined up

The reward is a 1-month boss title:

It's time to plan for the next event starting on the 20th, where we get a 1 Hyper burning and 1 Normal burn (?) for Shade/Aran
I'll be Hyper burning a Hero, which would complete my Explorer-ideal-boss-mules trio (MM/Bucc/Hero)
The other burn will be used for a Shade since I think they gave a crit damage Legion block

The problem I'm having right now is my main not having a real weapon (VERY SAD)
She could pay 7bil to buy out the missing droplets, but that is painful considering that money should be put towards a shining event for getting her CRAs to ~20 instead
She prays for the arcane box every week but it does not happen
She is stuck at 20mil, which is almost just too low for VHilla and HDnell, further lowering box chances
The plan is to camp the BossUI on Thursday for box only runs until she gets an arcane weapon box,
which actually might take months
In which case, she hopes that there will be an event coin shop which sells the droplets for cheap :D

Also with the Tera blink I will be creating a character on an alt account, either a Bishop for door, or WH for the 10%ATT buff.

Lots to look forward to <:

night troupe adventures

16 November, 2024

Hi!

Lately I've been spending time on my mules, regardless of their viability with bosses.

My MM spent about 15 minutes on HMagnus while watching ice hockey today, which is pretty goofy.
But he got the cape!

victory!

The Bucc has been taking advantage of the bumper car minigames, he got from 208 to 212 instantly despite losing his match (he suxx at it) P:

Instant +4 level

He also got to Charm 30 for his Pocket slot by AFKing in the traits room with other abandoned mules:

Charm generatorr

I've really enjoyed the Night Troupe events with all its unique graphics, I will miss it when it's over ~ u ~
