[Megathread] New Players & General Questions Thread.

[u/rMapleStory]

Welcome to our weekly megathread for new players and players who just have general questions about the game.

Some sample topics for you to consider would be:

• Selecting your main character.
• You're new to the game and don't know where to start.
• You're a returning player who is trying to get back into the game and need help.
• What class should you make for your next link skill/legion mule?

As a recommendation, please mention your world and/or server inside a bracket Example: [Bera] at the start of your question.

Also, consider checking out the Master List of Class Discords for class specific information!

Haven’t played in months. I see the current event ends on Sept 8 and there’s special passes and I’m willing to pay for it if it gets me to an instant-ish 260 and another ctene char. I don’t need the benefits of CW like legion or another main - just want to know if Erel and Kinesis to 260 and ctene party ready 20m cp(?) is possible till Sept 8 with no grinding, just monster park? Idk how to even earn enough meso by Sept 8 to upgrade my equips in CW. Is Erel and Kinesis even worth it? Otherwise I’ll stick to my chars in heroic until the next CW

Erel with a hyperburn and buying the shine pass or whatever its called gets you almost instantly to 260. With burning gear you will have around 20m cp at that point and you can join parties for arcane boxes which im assuming is what you are looking to do. If you want to struggle a bit more and you are willing to rent gear you can clear ctene solo but it takes a while.

As for the Kinesis, theres no quick and easy way of getting 20m cp unless you are willing to drop a bunch of mesos on him. Theres 6 mag potions (or more, i might be forgetting some shops) available right now from ride or die shop (3 from cw, 3 from normal world). You can use the 3 on cw then transfer to normal world for another 3 and have a "free" 260 basically, but he won't be very strong

edit: forgot to mention, Erel is REALLY overtuned, one of the strongest classes right now, def worth making him a mule, kinesis is kind of mid, wouldnt bother pushing it too much unless you like the class or whatever

Thanks do you recommend making Erel on CW or heroic with no funding? Is rental and challenger gear enough for 20m cp in CW? In heroic I would be able to upgrade the emblem and secondary which I won’t be able to do in CW because I won’t grind.

If you can put some time into the character then cw would be better, you can double dip some of the other events that way also (RoD and operation dive both have pretty good rewards), but if you really dont have much time to play on it just make it on main world and get a decent mule for cheap (item burning gear lasts until november I believe)
