Semi-Comprehensive Look at Zero on Reboot
-Featuring ZeroRosettes of Renegades
(please forgive my broken shift key)
Zero is often considered the ‘god class”. People like me who play in
… (more)Reboot have wanted it for a while. But why does Nexon keep it from us? I plan on looking at that today with my existing zero in renegades.
Possible complications:
-zero weapon
Zero has a unique weapon system that allows you to upgrade it as you level. The high level weapons require essences, however. You can also reset your potential with this system for a meso fee along with weapon points. What does this mean for reboot? Well reboot progression is mainly through mesos to buy miracle cubes, so this seems…kinda like reboot progression already? Weapon points are gained through the mirror world dungeons. If it bothers people on the price of the weapon potential system, then why not raise the price a bit to be more on par with reboot cube prices? You still have to do various bosses for the late game level 8 and 9 weapons (equivalent of Absolab or Arcane Umbra). Scrolls would simply be removed as is the way with all of Reboot.
-crafting and traits
Zero can gain levels for the crafting and gathering system through an NPC in the mirror world. The traits are randomized, and you can only do so many “lessons’ a day. While crafting is not the most relevant of content due to the lack of trading equipment through reboot…its still there. Zero can craft gear with an equivalent to the set effects of the Empress set, but it won’t benefit many other characters due to the limited amount of time coins you can get through mirror world.
-Link skill and Legion
Zero has a nice legion effect of exp increase. The increase at SS rank is 10%, the same as a full Legion exp board, or a level 1 Mercedes link skill. It’s not the most significant exp raise, but it is noticeable on reboot with generally higher rates of exp. Zero also has a link skill that decreases damage taken (15% at max level) and increases ignore defense at 10% max. this really doesn’t seem overly powerful a link skill compared to skills like demon avenger which increases %damage.
-mirror world
The mirror world features a unique dungeon type of system to level up a zero. While most of zero’s exp comes from questing in the mirror world or training across maple world, this does give zero a boost to level 180 if used exclusively (although not the most efficient training method in my opinion). If need be that this is considered too powerful a leveling boost, then perhaps they would just cap the number of entries into dungeons per day for reboot zero.
Why zero might be a good addition to reboot:
-It has a decent combo system that is easy to use and isn’t overpowered as a class.
-could have more players join the game and maybe old players who have been waiting for reboot zero.
-reboot related events when zero is released could also increase playerbase and spending on cosmetics for new zero characters
-zero does have a slightly easier progression than normal, so it would help mid game players whom have been hit hard by the meso nerf to still have a little way to progress through their zero.
Id like to hear from other zero mains if they have anything to add that I may have missed.
tldR: I don’t get why we don’t have zero in reboot, I honestly don’t see anything too broken about its system that would hurt reboot.

Well, Step up is quite an event...but there are a few things Id like to note.
Step Up VS V Tracker
- These two events are similar in a variety of ways. (and if I might add...their goals/
… (more)quests)
1. Why isn't step up account wide? You can only get the title once per account, right? Why not allow people to do stuff as long as their character meets level requirement for that step...(I.e. my Cadena does step up to say....the level 120 step, then my illium does the 120 step, and I keep going on the cadena to 205 step)
2. 999 Mobs? Why nexon...just why. Star Force mobs and burning mobs (especially with the maintenance lately) aren't the easiest things to go after, so why not put a little bit better of a goal like 300 mobs? It seems more fitting for a newbie (as the step up event is implied to help new players)
3. Kritias Invasion, the V tracker just made us do the prequests, why add on invasion...especially with the bad timing it tends to have on some players schedules?
While i understand trying to get players to try out a variety of content, some of it seems unnecessary to tack on (Dojo...I'm looking at you.)
if this event comes back in the future, Id suggest going more to the V Tracker or Pink bean tracker type of quest style. it's not as heavy a burden on players and still gives a lot of variety in content you experience.
-hope you like my feedback and suggestion.
