Oops I'm sorry, you're right, I had those backwards lol but yes, that's not worth having either. Erda Nova also binds, but as an I/L, you're blessed to have Freezing Breath at 4th job, so you don't need to waste one of your node slots with a bind.
Wait. We're both idiots. The weak aoe thing is erda shower, and erda nova is the bind.(less)
Erda Shower is actually quite a useful skill. It's an additional AOE attack that has a pretty nice vertical range. I didn't end up using it til 220ish due to node slots being used for other skills, but it is definitely NOT a bad skill.
You have the option of buying them from the auction house or making a new character for the specific purpose of reacquiring an earring or ring that you've blown up. Reboot, on the other hand, has no choice but to suck it up and deal if they blow up a superior ring or earring.
Why should regular servers have to go through the hassle of a) redoing those excrtiatingly long quests and getting carried to kill Gollux or b) forking over billions of mesos to buy replacements ? There is absolutely no reason why the shop shouldn't restock weekly/monthly, especially when gear progression is centered around a system that destroys your equipment. (less)
Unless you're 100% sure you're staying a Bishop, or your nodes aren't very high-levelled, I wouldn't bother disassembling in the event you might return to the class.
Be that as it may, there are extenuating circumstances that can still screw you over:
a) lagwave happens that knocks out your combo
b) you have a full Use inventory after a bounty hunter portal which delays your exit and destroys combo
I think the penalties the op listed are even far harsher than I would have recommended, and makes it not a completely back to square one situation for things that are unforeseen. (less)
275ers are hackers or taken of advantage of hacks in some way. It's impossible for the average person to get to 275 that quickly especially with out 2x events. Even with the added bonuses for Reboot servers it shouldn't be possible to reach that level that fast. Even if you had multiple people (I think this is considered illegal if proven as well too. play your acct you can not reach that high of a level in such a short amount of time. You just can not do it. Even KMS took a lot longer time to reach that lvl. So really who cares now who reaches max level since level means nothing now. I agree though we should get more 2x events not bc level matters but so we can unlock higher ways to progress since everything basically revolves around that legion board now.
kMS doesn't have Frenzy/Kishin.
kMS doesn't have Firestarter Rings.
These two things alone make training at least 4x faster. Unless you have definitive proof that these people are hackers, don't go casually tossing that title on them. All of this is definitely achieveable when you don't have a job and sit at home playing MapleStory for 18+ hours a day (I believe that's what SealLord said how much he played in a day while grinding). The no-life method of grinding is definitely the exception, not the norm, hence why there is a huge gap between the 275s and how many other people are between 251-274.
Either way, back on topic, yes, they definitely need to be doing more 2x events. The infrequency is really annoying, especially when they focus so heavily on these recycled events that are boring at this point. (less)
