I'm going to bump this thread in hopes that some more people can see it and possibly input on it.
It's been 1 week (and 1 day) since I created this thread, so I feel that should be okay. (… (more)IE: Not spam)
If a bump after 1 week is still considered against the rules, I'm sorry. (less)
pensalir / level 140 equips? or do you have level 150+ equips already when you soloed cra?
I had the CRA set due to soloing them first.
I know how hard it is to kill cra coz i was gathering 6 people to kill cra and did around 8 hours of trial before my party can kill it.
But 8 hours is better than spending a few months of getting ready to solo it, right?
The Aran you speak of probably just knows their class extremely well. If 2m really is low for an Aran (I'm not sure, I don't play them.) then that's impressive.
All of my gear is garbage really. The best piece I have is probably only +21% main stat. I don't really care too much though, I'm still able to one shot mobs in Arcane River, so that's all I care about.
Even if I can't boss well, I don't care because I only want to progress in the story.
The funding experience might be different for me if I was trying to kill bosses. But I've only ever really focused on grind.
I'm still able to get about 5-10% per day if I can actually sit down and do it for 2 hours or so.
Bossing is a social element of the game.
Unless you're playing the game with a party or something, I'd say just avoid it until you're out leveling the content so hard you can just solo it.
Edit:
And i still need you to guide me how you can get to 1 mill range without farming at level 205.
My advice is to stop worrying about it so much. (less)
Reboot server? This post is more relevant to reboot server, because i don;t know what is the situation at normal server.
Yes. I play reboot.

And if you have 1 mill damage range at levle 210-220, you will need a long time to kill 1 monster and it leads to a very low mesos perhour. probbaly can only gain 20 mill perhour. Comparing with the needs to Star force, to potential and flame, farming at 20 mill perhour gonna take you forever. and as you farming at 20 mill mesos eprhour, your level will keep rising and you reach level 230 with probably only around 2 mill damage and level 240 with only 3 mill range. and with 3 mill range you barely can kill chaos Vellum. And you are stuck. Because if you kill monsters lower than 10 levels of yours, your mesos gain will reduce.
I have never used Kishin to farm. I'm level 231 and I have well over 2m range. I am not stuck. I can solo all of CRA easily.
That was what i meant by bottleneck. A series of system in game that will push new players way too harsh that mostlikely leading 90% of new players quitting the game before they actually can Kill early /weak bosses such as Hellux or cra and enjoy the game. With 20 million per hour you barely can buy 2 black cubes. So to get 1 cube, you need to farm around 1 hour. Calculate with the amount of cube you need for 1 equip. It is ridicilious to farm 1 hour for just 1 cube. That is also why I suggesting for them to provide players another way to farm mesos before they actually deleted the only ways for players to improve.
It is not the "only way" it's just the only way "meta" players want to do it.
Even with malaysia/singapore + Kishin, it will still take years. Take my experience as example. I have been playing Maplestory for almost 2 years. With Malaysia/Singapore + Kishin, I barely can solo Chaos vellum after 1 year 2 months before flame update. And I played quite active, almost 4hours+ perday. That is minimum. Most of the time, i play 6 hours+. Without malaysia/Singapore + kishin, I estimate will probably take 3-4 years before someone can solo chaos Vellum. Without, will take probably 6 years before someone can Kill Damien/Lotus. And probably 8-10 years before someone can join lucid team. and even worse for hard lucid and normal will. They can wait until they have wife and children until they can actually join and kill hard lucid and normal will
I was able to solo all of CRA after about 6 months of actually focusing on my character. (It was already level 205 or so, but I was ignoring it.)
I only play about 2-4 hours a day. I will remind you, I have never relied on Kishin for farming. I tried it out once, never bothered again.
And now, you stuck because you can't farm at lower level monsters. Coz without killing yourself, you will reach higher level with stronger monsters.
I have never had to suicide on my character to progress. (Isn't that kind of the opposite of progressing?)
I don't have to fight anything outside my level range (I fight +4 mobs for most EXP)
I should also add there are plenty of other GMS exclusive things I purposely avoid because I feel they're OP.
I actively go out of my way to make the game harder and I have never had problems with meso farming. (less)
character appears in party with some unknown reason lol
That's really weird. I'd try redownloading the game. Either something is borked or you have a demon in your PC. (And I don't mean the slayer/avenger kind!) (less)
