BIGGEST Mistakes to AVOID in MapleStory 2024

[@SirOtterz]

Be ok with something progressing slower! Legion can literally be done with just burning events and bonks, monster park can be done with 2 a day and not 7, drops will come even if you kill daily bosses 3 times a week instead of 7. It’s ok to slow down if you aren’t an end game pusher.

[@jefftraboulsy8631]

May i ask the reasoning behind 2 MP per day? I dont want to be "that guy", but sadly thats just borderline griefing yourself and your progress. The MP tickets costs mesos, and they arent expensive at all. And the EXP is INSANE for what it is. You can literally do like 3 super easy daily bosses and BOOM, you have enough mesos for all of the MP runs.

[@jefftraboulsy8631]

I agree with everything you stated except the MP. The runs are like 2 minutes each TOPS. 😢😢😢

[@bradyvilhauer4445]

Your advice on picking a character based on looks is actually huge. I’m pumped you suggest to pick based on that. And yeah backing it up with a good YT search is solid, I did this. Turns out Mechanic and Blaster kept looking dope, I landed on Mechanic and it’s freaking solid to play for me.

[@jefftraboulsy8631]

Thats how the game was designed to be played originally. People played what they thought looked coolest. I miss 2006

[@bradyvilhauer4445]

@@jefftraboulsy8631 I think almost all games were designed this way! it’s just us a society trying to be super insecure about not dealing as much damage as a night lord or whatever. We’re too obsessed with min maxing sometimes vs just finding what is most fun for us!!

[@andy-fc3vx]

Appreciate you talking about burnout, I’ve played the game on and off for like 18 years now and have quit so many times because of burnout. I’m taking things a little slower this time and it feels much better

[@lucassanchez8939]

+1 to the last point about practicing bosses. I remember years ago, when I first started practicing hard gollux on my aran. I'd go in each day and not even expect to kill it, instead simply focusing on developing my reflexes, maybe chipping the health bar down a little further than yesterday. Took 1-2 weeks iirc before I killed it. Similar thing happened not long after, with hard magnus. A common theme in the tips of this video is setting the right expectations for yourself. Maplestory is definitely a marathon, not a sprint.

[@kameronl1482]

9:00 is prob the best advice in this vid so many people hate SF because "its a system where u can get weaker" but this is really only true in very unlucky cases or if u try to push to 22 with 2 bil in ur inventory starting at 17 stars.

[@acat5338]

Yeah pretty much. Although people only recommend rouletting your gear on Arcanes (going for 1 star at a time across multiple gear). There's no reason not to do it for all your gear of similar tier/rarity. It minimizes losses since you can only lose stats on one piece at a time. That and 21 is honestly fine to stop at for a long time. the avg cost of 0-22 is double that of 0-21. You'll progress a lot faster if you settle at 21 until 22 is the last thing to do. Way too many new players get baited into going for 22* when they're only 17* on all their gear.

[@Overdragoon]

Thanks for the video! I agree with everything you talked about. One thing that although not completely bricking account that you didn’t mention is to take advantage of events and not sleep on them. Events make progression so much better and because of the time restraining nature of them you can regret not doing them. Specially legacy stuff like the Abyssal expedition legion block we had a few months ago. That kind of event rarely happens

[@xPersianSkaterx]

good tips. as far as starforcing, I got all my superiors to 21* on SSF and had ~40b left, so I decided to push my CRA from 21 to 22, starting with the hat. I boomed 26 times and only got it back to 21 before I was low on meso. talk about an outlier haha. but that shitshow aside, I was pretty content with the overall gains. just try to come into an event with more than enough to hit your goals (on average) and don't let the gambling addiction win if you start to lose progress

[@maxskyx-bq3ri]

Loook xshoao stream 90b 12 items 22 star he had trick.

[@altsadhara]

The first item I ever tried to get 21 stars on, I went into the 99th percentile for meso spent without reaching it (specifically, I actually didn't hit 20 stars a single time despite 18 booms and ~35b spent on ssf). I'm not saying that it doesn't average out with other items over a long time, but if that's the very first experience of a newer player trying to breach into the midgame, it's completely understandable if the experience massively upsets them. Luck can be very cruel at times when it's entirely dependent on RNG, but persistence will always win out eventually if they're still enjoying the game and keep going.

[@Brawler1216]

While I play in GMS Scania and don’t get the meso gains from souls you reboot players get, your advice is amazing all the same. I’m one of those players currently sitting at not being able to solo HDarknell lol. About 83m cp as a bucc and the one fatal flaw of my class is truly having every tied to damage. So I either try bursting his hp down or save them for lethal moments. I am trying though 😂😂 glad this was in my recommended, you gained a new subscriber 😃

[@zottffss]

This was the reason why I scrapped my Marksman bossing mule in favor of Corsair instead. It’s not the meta or anything but I enjoy this class more than marksman. I also am okay retiring from legion at 8.6K. I told people 9K legion is not my target right now. Also, it took me 25 Black Mage practice runs to get comfortable with the fight. Not to mention: I play this game in an unusual way. I actually prefer to solo some bosses early on and then level up afterwards. Like I’m only lvl 255 (as of this comment) and will soon attempt to solo Cslime, Cgloom, and Hvhilla, but only because I’m comfortable with the boss fights and can survive for a lengthy period of time.

[@12mulesandy]

Yes it's hell playing mules I hated, when I moved on to Hyperion from Kronos I made it a point to avoid every mule I disliked playing regardless of how resource efficient/op they are.

[@gwTheo]

personally my biggest burn out is learning every aspect of the game before playing the game. luckily the AB hyper event is really gliding me along so im not burnt out and almost 260 so after that I feel like anything I enjoy will be beneficial to my character and while doing that learning more for alts. fun stuff but takes awhile and gotta go at your own pace

[@backtre8776]

Dude churning out content lately, gotta love it

[@nickyrox3539]

regarding the burnt out part, i remember training all characters to level 141 easily, but when the time came to train them to 200, all the cubing caused me to stop playing for 3 weeks, then i talked to my friend about it, he suggested that instead of cubing all the equipment dropped from daily bosses, i should just get those level 100 equipments that mobs drop in leafre and just cube once and then share them among my characters, class by class

[@zilian9685]

This is definitely the best advice video you've put out! So many really good advice that people fail to recognize. Mental is such a huge part of this game when this game requires so much grinding and time investment. Keep up the good work Duky!

[@tanadponsiratanon4159]

The burnout gauge is an amazing idea!! Thanks for the good content 😊

[@yilianglow5101]

as a new player starting out with under 1k legion purely with just item burning, took me about 15tries of about 20minute each to finally solo normal lotus, i got closer with every attempt and the final clear feels so good.

[@Monkey0nMars]

Yeah I feel that burnout thing. I am wanting to grind daily’s on all my classes that I want to eventually use a boss mule but it’s just too much for me all at once. So I have been taking it slow doing one class at a time which is a lot easier. Rip future me when needing those classes though 😂

[@N8x10]

Nah man one at a time is WAY better plus event buffs will always help those dailies go by faster. Like right now I do arcane dailies on my shad sub main and my next boss mule I’m working on

[@jarretm1215]

The burn out spot on, I forced my self to do dailys every day got my sumbols maxed and burned out now back on dreamer😂 this time we stay time to finally complete arcane set

[@Jish4k]

I feel like EVERY new player should see this video covers so many pain points that they would normally experience Very informative, keep up the goated content

[@JRedMage]

Good video! Just downloaded the game again after YEARS away. (I think 200 was max level last I played)

[@demonluck999]

good luck as a return player they update a lot of thing in this game to the point it feel like a new game i know i was a return player just like you i was away of this game of 7 to 8 years so if u do play this game i will say take your time on ever thing that what i did and i enjoy this game a lot and u do not need to be on for hr and hr to get anyway u can play of 30min to 1hr a day and get some where that what i doing some time

0:55 i did this, now i'm a Pathfinder main and i regret everything 😞

[@nitayhen3973]

Instructions unclear, got bricked up instead.

[@kaiserzero1077]

Yeah, I burnt out. For me, it’s because it took forever to get to 200, and I kept dying in the process. Bossing had reflect damage, and I didn’t do enough damage against cooler bosses either. Even with a hyper rock, getting to bosses like Zakum, Horntail, etc was tedious. Maple tour? Fine. Then there’s Ursus where a lot of times there’s nobody to play with and everyone has already done it or has some specified time- there’s no server announcement or anything. I didn’t like a lot of classes. Archers and magicians were clunky, Thieves do subpar mobbing, Warriors and pirates took forever to get around or mob. Except for Paladin or Bishop it seems nobody could really take a hit, and I got gated by boss mechanics too. For example, I like dawn warrior’s concept a lot but the attack range is not what I would want and MP is like pouring out water. God forbid all the buffing. The lore, story and immersion, I love it. The gameplay? Not so much.

[@judamagno2318]

The burnout tip is very real, I've experienced it countless times.

[@tomapple64]

[@zakeriaabdi693]

I used a 17 star scroll on my Ghost Ship badge and it didn't even gain any attack, there isn't really much benefit in giving it stars but I'm still happy I got it! I also have a Supreme Medal on another character they might have an event someday where we can move them between accounts 😂

[@AnglishSligna]

How about partner farming, is it recommended?

[@wcleet]

The problem with HLotus and HDarknell is that its just artificial difficulty by spamming the screen with garbage that stuns/1 Hits (Sometimes you can't even see your character on the screen). The fight doesn't actually feel better till you over gear it and can kill it faster. I think they should def rework fights to involve for more skillful gameplay instead of just screen spam garbage. I feel Grandis bosses are a better example better boss fights.

[@Duky]

I agree that Grandis bosses are designed better for sure. But I think HLotus and HDarknell, although they have artificial difficulty, that persists in the bosses in the future as well. Part of bossing is learning to track your character at all times.
