Problems with Higher Leveled Equipment

Hi all,

After playing many MMO's I found global maplestory to be the most unique MMO in which lowered leveled items can be significantly better than higher leveled items that are within the game.

I played the Blade Master Class Branch in the Reboot server for a little bit and noticed some equipment that is significantly leveled lower is way easier to obtain and is way better than certain higher leveled equipment!

An Example I have is with the Chaos Root Abyss armor set compared to AbsoLab equipment.
The problem here is with the Top and bottom equipment pieces with the Chaos Root Abyss set armor gives a significant stat bonus for more equipment to upgrade.

The flaw is that in this game losing out on an equipment slot means losing out on Potential "Percent" stat lines and StarForce values that give relevant stats such as attack and magic attack and flat stat as long as the bonus flaming stats.

My Suggestion for Nexon to improve these armor sets in which at least does best is to improve the 7 set effect bonus.

There's ideas in which the set bonus of these current higher leveled equipment but yet inferior in terms of range boost could have maybe some unique skill or passive effect for reaching the 7 set bonus so there's more diversity in equipment usage depending on the preference of the player.

For example 7 Set bonus effect of AbsoLab / Arcane Equipment could give more survivability in reducing incoming damage from % reducing skills and more % Critical damage instead of giving 20/30 weapon and magic attack and 10% Ignore defence

The Blade Master also has another issue with the Arcane Umbra Katara and Sweetwater Katara.

It really is confusing in terms of why a Level 160 equipment that is introduced through exclusive GMS content would be better in terms of both costs and damage boost compared to the level 200 Arcane Umbra Katara that is significantly more difficult to upgrade and obtain.

2 Level 150 Armor pieces notably the Chaos Root Abyss Top and Bottom being better in terms of stat and damage boost compared to a Level 200 Arcane Umbra Overall is incredible.

I'm sure a lot of people noticed that there are weird things like this in game but to me asks the question if the developers who created the armor sets back then had any clue difference or care for introducing what they have introduced for strategies ingame to occur.

I had low expectations coming into the game but the whole idea of lower leveled equipment being significantly more difficult to collect and significantly harder to upgrade is what shocks me the most.

I agree with you. It is a nonsense. Equipment ballance is something that needs a lot of work in the game.
