I've got a few questions for you Maplers here at RaGEZONE.
Question 1:
Let's say you're playing GMS legit, and it's v62, because that's the time where there was no "AP reset at job advance" so you had to actually apply AP stats to INT and stuff when leveling as a beginner if you wanted to be a job other than a warrior, AND you are also trying to become a Magician.
Given that situation, would you actually do all of the Maple Island quests to help you level faster and/or get some equips from them to help you out? Or would you just grind your way to level 7 and take the first boat out of Maple Island, not even talking to any of the NPCs? Or... -insert your choice here-?
My answer: I honestly would, I think it speeds up the leveling a lot if I'm going to end up making a Magician/Bowman/Thief. If I was a Warrior, I'd still do it, because even then it still makes it all go by faster.
Question 2:
Let's say you're playing GMS legit, and it's v62, since that's the time where it actually was decently difficult to level up, so level 30 was almost like an achievement. You're a level 40 Hunter, and you don't really have that good of equips right now.
Given that situation, would you ever actually end up using the Equip Maker NPC? If you guys aren't really familiar with an Equip Maker NPC in MapleStory, a good example is Vicious from Henesys, he's a Bowman equip maker (
My answer: I would for some equips, because some are just hard to obtain by monster drops (like some bows, some gloves, and such rare items). I wouldn't do it for all of my equips though, because frankly I think it takes a lot of effort to make equips. As far as I remember, it's like gather 15 screws, 10 wooden planks, 3 Mithril plates, and 25,000 mesos. And that's not really so easy to gather up, considering the fact that ores/plates back then were pretty uncommon / semi-high in price.
Question 3:
Let's say you're playing GMS legit, and it's v55, since that's the time where it actually was decently difficult to level up, so level 30 was almost like an achievement, and there was no Carnival PQ. You're level 31, and you can't KPQ anymore, and the next PQ is LPQ at level 35, so you're trying to level as fast as possible.
Given that situation, what is your perspective on Questing? Like actually going out, finding NPCs that have good Quests for you with good rewards, such as the Sauna Robe quest, and actually doing them all the way through.
My answer: Heck yeah I'd do the quests, even if they aren't good, I'll still do them, because most even involve grinding on monsters for a while (e.g. "The Rememberer" quests). Doing the Sauna Robe quest would actually save me time and money from searching the FM and buying one for myself later on. And not to mention, any EXP for me is good EXP, that's the way I like to think of it.
So RaGEZONE Maplers, what are your thoughts on these questions? I'm really interested in hearing all of your perspectives on these situations.
