Legion System: It get's absurd.
I'm looking at a chart that lists the requirements to rank up your Legion... wow.
For the final upgrade, you need base 2400 coins. Coming from someone who can only manage about 40 coins per day, not counting daily quests, and not even thinking about all the upgrades beforehand that cost in the thousands, that's a lot.
But it gets worse.
To even be able to be qualified, you need 10,000 Cumulative Level. Divided by 40, the amount of characters that would be able to achieve such a number... you need 40 characters to be level 250, with some leeway if there is a higher character limit per world than 40.
Here's a link to the page I used for this info:

Of course I only mention the max Legion, but it's not like lower ranks are any better. And keep in mind, it probably get's easier once you begin building up your Legion's power levels... but that isn't exactly a point in it's favor. It might not even ring true in our current version of Maplestory, but the early costs and requirements ring true. It's a dauntling-looking task, and I'd kinda wish it was possible to achieve maximum power without selling everything you own, including your soul, to Nexon. I can't even imagine achieving such being possible without being either a Reboot player or spending more money than it may even be worth... for what benefits? Small boosts to damage?

But you can easily unlock the entire board at 6,000 Cumulative Level. The coin cost for rank up is different in GMS (yes I know that there's a discount but original cost is still different) so that's not accurate for us.
Maximum power will always be the end-goal and Nexon will never make it easy. It doesn't mean you can't benefit from any of the systems. You just have to balance it out in order to achieve great power (or range in this case) with minimal effort.
If they made Legion easy to max out that would've just been another "must have tool-set easy to max out" like the Trait system.
A) You probably wouldn't need to fill the entire board. One whole section is dedicated to Bonus EXP, which is useless if the character you wanted at max level (your main), plus 39 other characters, twelve of which will most likely be the link skills your main needs, are all already at the current max level.
B ) That's a relief to hear at least.
C) I wouldn't want it easy, but it goes back to being a daunting task: It looks almost unachievable to someone who only leveled to 200 a second time only yesterday since Reboot was released, with the rest of his characters somewhere between 100-160. At least some way to make it to a reasonable rank to experience the most of the Legion System while keeping a high ceiling to hit, kinda what they did to the leveling curve, would be nice, but we already have that don't we. It's Master Rank tier 2.
the important thing to do right now, is to take advantage of the discount happening right now and rank up as much as you can for the lower cost.
The Legion system only counts the top 40 characters in your world, regardless of the number of slots you have. This was confirmed with Luna since they can have up to 80 character slots.
I didn't even intend to look at the costs going that high, I just wanted to see the stats that each character gave to plan who I wanted to Burn. And if it is wanted that I be able to level up almost all the characters in my world just to gain the ability to fill the board (not even to level 200 each, god forbid I put too much effort into this game I'm probably only going to be playing every Summer, Winter, and Anniversary, maybe Crossover events if they look more interesting than an excuse to dress up like Rem)... well, whatever.
No I didn't, it says "...And keep in mind, it probably get's easier once you begin building up your Legion's power levels... but that isn't exactly a point in it's favor". It's in the final paragraph. I don't think I even edited that in after posting.
You're 1k higher than me...=3=" -waiting for burning so I can get Kaiser done- I should just level my dang DW instead of my boring potato of a Jett...
Be careful cause Kaiser was d/c people after transformation use. Idk if they looked into it.
Besides, most of your strenght comes from equips, you should really worry about it when you start to have a lot of rang, else it just won't be that worth lving so many characters.
