[@coppersan]

Thanks for the watching and all the support

[@xMusicFate]

got back into maplestory a few months ago and I just wanna say that it was confusing because there are so many new things. I came upon your channel one day and ever since then I have not missed a video because they have been so informative!! Keep it up

[@coppersan]

Thanks!

[@jarredleonie6713]

100% agree came back a few days ago

[@johnny02128]

Agreed. I didn't know what to do, but looked up some guides for newbies and that helped a lot. I started back mid Feb of this year, but the last time I played MS was back in 05 til 2010. Getting old and this felt nostalgic. Hooked again haha. It's still a learning experience for me though. Content like this helps beginners and return players like ourselves. Good luck and just have fun!

[@jewenlee8330]

Wow I was just looking for a guide on link skills! Perfect timing

[@Hyunation]

remember when once upon a time you could just play and main the class you like with no mules? lol

[@coppersan]

Back then my only mules were storage mules

[@xale8702]

@@coppersan I had Jane and the wild boar mules and KPQ mules. I got a lot of characters to level 31

or you made mules to level 35 to do the NLC GFA60% scroll quest c:

@@BrentBeTrollin I believe it was 36 but my memory could be wrong

[@Brawler1216]

Been putting off legion for some time now. didnt even realize how to level it up until I spoke to the legion guy and leveled up. im like 2.8k legion but my link skills have been nice. i upped my range with legion alone by about 100k just with my baby legion points. Now to level up more mules haha xD Great video as always coppersan, thanks :)

[@valentimnes]

ive been playing maplestory since i was 9 years old, but i always had a bad habit of not looking into ways to build my characters better, so i had lvl 150+ characters who were super weak haha! your videos have been a lifesaver, i still have a lot of progress to make wrt damage and stats but my characters are so much stronger thanks to your easy-to-understand videos. theyre super helpful and i greatly appreciate your content!! thanks again man :^)

[@BarbeqdBrwniez]

Great content as always! I'm slowly leveling my links / legion to 140. I'm at ~2600 right now. I wish I could just grind zero 😭😭😭

[@alex-ez8by]

I swear i just got back to maple a month ago and everytime i see a new video of yours..it pertains to what im trying to figure out lol

[@rmadarzman4201]

since you're doing such a great job explaining everything to new/returning players, would you mind explaining a little bit more about legion and how it works etc(and also upgrading/cubing/scrolling etc)? would be great!!

[@lukanic]

Also i just found out, the explorer class links can stack so if you have 3* thief you get 3* more dmg

[@Feanor1988bis]

I'd like to mention, for those in need of ignore defense, luminous' link skill, providing more than zero's.

[@laurynlewis2938]

Doing legion and link skills definitely helped me start doing daily bosses (on easy at least)! The grind definitely begins when you need the relevant ones level 2/3

[@hugozevallosmoloche1881]

4:24 ... I SEE FANGBLADE C:

[@oscarwhittlestone8923]

For Storage, the pirates (explorer) get more inventory space with their job advancements. Gotta hold all that booty. You also get storage from some daily log-ins and of course events.

[@HighFlyBlue]

Started playing again in reborn and having a blast. Sadly joined right when zero stopped being available. Hoping it for some reason comes around again soon

[@lucasleite6872]

just what i needed ^^ TY copperboy

[@Sillzx]

always great information in your videos it really helps. thank you. one thing that is confusing me as a returning player is some link skills are showing only level 2 - Adele so is max character level required only 120? or does that character have to be level 210 to have it? other ones have level 8 or higher - going up in increments of 2 levels which totally lost me - do i need to make multiples of a class to stack the effect of the skill higher than level 2 or 3? or is that just certain things i was looking for an excel spread sheet to make it easier to read but, was not able to find anything for max character level required, what the max link level is so i don't overspend my time on class if its only level 120 to max out. hopefully this question makes sense. any suggestions are much appreciated

[@ShirooKaijuu]

What would you recommend for paladin for link and legion? Currently I have around 100% crit rate thanks to ability, phantom and hyper stats. Crit damage is about 39% due to kinesis lvl 2 link, ied 75% while boss damage is around 57% (very low :( ). Edit: Currently I am working on ho young to 120 and a lumi to 210 for his lvl 3 link. Im guessing kanna but who else should I focus on down the line.

[@snappop]

hi i was wondering what crit damage boosters are you using with your luna set up

[@MrOmer123]

Hey man love your channel amazing videos. Can you make a video about ds? What link skills IA 5th nodes how to do ba and all if this. Just switched from lumi to ds and cant find good guide for this job please consider making a video 🙏🏼

[@TheSealseal]

i already got 8k legion all i need are the lvl link 3 skills and i am done!

[@MisterTIBS]

I'm looking at probably getting a Kain to 200 as my next Legion link for bossing but I'm not sure how his link skill works. Can you attack mobs to get the stacks PRIOR to going for a boss so you are already at 4 (if not 5) stacks from the off, or do you lose those stacks if not attacking for an x amount of time?

[@Vovi-Knight]

btw i believe the resistance invul works with darkknight's revive adding extra seconds of invincibility. I haven't tested it though also Mihile's link skill has become more useless since all explorers have 100% knockback resist now, i wish they went with his guard theme and made the link skill a lesser copy of his royal guard with a long cooldown (180 or 300 seconds maybe), like maybe you are invincible for 1 second if you are hit deal x amount of damage in an AoE around you and gain Mihile's royal guard effect for like 5 seconds or something (Mihile gets it for 10 seconds) this would in my opinion be a great idea and it fits his theme as well as being unique

[@shadowms64]

any tips on hyper stats for wind archer? or just any class in general

[@Medaumplay3]

I'm maining a marksman in a very new account, have a few link skills and about 1.5k legion. I don't have that much time to play and quite a few ones I need to get, but I'm thinking of getting a mechanic to get started with the resistance link skill, and also the buff duration legion effect cause splitshot is my life. Is it a good idea? I have a burninator item to use, and I'm strongly considering it

[@Raeesou]

Great vids man thanks for everything!

[@anderz28]

Dont forget familiars. they add a lot of dmg too!

[@GodOfMechas]

can you make an updated (post-Khali + Jett-deletion) ver of this? and also maybe suggest an ideal substitute for Beast Tamer link skill for SEA players too 🙏

[@Whispershotz]

i always come back to this video lol

[@Skellotronix]

Got a question, what do you recommend for people playing on old POS hardware like me? I have an old account with a bunch of characters and my laptop is below minimum requirements (yeah i know) and so the flashier classes like Adele slooooow my laptop down hard. I was wondering if you could recommend what classes are good for low end PCs. I've been playing Hero a lot lately since he isn't too flashy and can just sit and attack a lot. Anyhow thanks for all your vids you've helped me a bunch. 👍

[@coppersan]

Bowmaster and demon avenger come to mind. Maybe increasing the skill transparancy and lowering the background and effect quality in the sttings might help as well! (If you didn't do that already)

[@Skellotronix]

@@coppersan Thank you!

[@erubaba9010]

What would be the best grid config for a kinesis?

[@5orrowonthevibe]

which server are you guys playing in? Reboot or the normal ones?

[@Sosoismyname]

imagine they remove link skill cap for each character, and all characters can utilize it, damn if only that is not a dream

[@bonfire2873]

They're increasing it to 10!

[@chocobebe91]

I have a question. Do the link skills only transfer to other characters in the same server? or do they affect all characters in one account?

[@coppersan]

Only in the same server!

[@guiltymorty4117]

okay really don't understand the their explorer link skill "upon debuffing an enemy" how do i know if i'm debuffing an enemy, or if my class can do that? i've always wondered what it means, i see all end game players using this link skill for bossing but i don't really understand how the link skill works. i play an ark, do we debuf, and how do we do it?

[@alexjusto9591]

Debuffs usually mark the monster or put a symbol on their head. You'll know if you have it if the link skill icon shows up in your buffs when you're attacking.

[@mrsonic1523]

ty

[@iArthuritis]

Hi guys!! Is the Kain link skill passive and automatically procs when you get stats? Or do I have to actively buff it every 40 seconds??

[@coppersan]

It's a passive!

[@TheMapleDaily]

I just need the zero link and the evan link and the new character.. and i'll finally have caught them all like in pokemon!

[@archwayglow]

Get at least aran link 2 first. Combo orbs are way more impactful at lower levels which make the rest much easier to train. Aran link falls off late game.

[@StanleyMilgramm]

And to add to that, some classes utilize Aran link better than others because not all classes create combo equally fast. For example Night Lords stack combo amazingly fast with their marks.

[@johnmillay6790]

It doesn't even seem that impactful early. The orbs barely give you more exp then killing a few mobs in the area even with aran link but I haven't compared when tons of combo is built up

[@SHAD0WING]

so level up every single character to 210 thx got it

[@leonelmustre9201]

Mercedes is a pain to train 🥲

[@ah111815148199147]

I don't know why I can't get angbuster's link skil to proc. I do have the skill but it never worked

[@kubasniak]

lol nick Dexless... remember the days when you had to roll stats and ppl were going dexless and lukless on their thieves :D

[@Pokeanu]

Thanks coppersan for the content! Quick question: you mentioned training a Kanna to Lv140 to obtain Link Skill Lv.2 as well as S grade legion buffs. Is there a noticeable increase from Lv.120 to Lv.140 on each character through Legion? I already have Merc, Aran, Evan and Lumi trained to 120 and I don't know if 140 is worth the additional 2-3 hours to bring them all up

[@wonderthigh]

120 is for lvl 2 link only. 140 is for legion. it's preferred to train all classes to 140 minimum for decent stats

[@silverrat9292]

another thing with getting toons to 140 is their character block in legion grows by 1, meaning you're covering more of the legion board, which is really good for certain stats. for instance, you get your kanna, aran, merc, and evan to 140 instead of 120 is 4 extra blocks in legion, throw those in crit damage and that's an extra 4% crit damage as well

[@JeffGranja27]

Can a Demon Slayer and Avenger link skill be used both in one character? I remember that wasn't possible, is it still the same?

[@XRPBUCKS]

Will it be better to go for damage % or flat weapon att for link skills if my slots are limited?

[@rmsrms5051]

flat att/matt for mules and % on main

[@CryptoScammers.DoNotSendMoney]

Let's go xrp

[@simonteo7048]

hmm maplesea only have max lv 2 right compared to maplestory?

[@hayek9831]

Hey coopersan, I finally decided to come back to maple. I want to main a demon slayer. What link skills would I prioritize.

[@coppersan]

Go for the exp ones first (mercedes, zero, evan and aran) Make a zero asap since they will only be available for 3 more days. After that focus on the damage links as mentioned in the video. You can ignore most critrate effects from legion and link skills since you're a DS

[@ratgirl669]

Copper is best maple KZbinr to me 🏅

[@plentyoflulu4694]

can someone explain to me kain link skill? the wording is kinda weird to me

[@travisworm1]

Can you make a list in comments, each section, i understand why but i forget and have to rewind non stop lol

[@xrandomdonalds695]

you didnt talk ab out jett link skill. Poissible the strongest link that gives flat stats and is better than 10% dmg on kanna

[@SethBoyerD]

Could you make a video about how much starforcing actually improves your stats/ range? Obviously it’s important but I’d like to see exactly how important it is and wether I should be funneling more mesos into that or other parts of the gear progression

[@kevinlopezchavez5699]

You shouldn't be questioning that pre 15* in gear might not be that noticeable but they are still like +50 stat per gear and 15*+ is where it starts getting op because they start giving on average +10 stat and att then for weapons it's basically the same.

[@kevinlopezchavez5699]

Now multiply all that for like 16 gear

[@SethBoyerD]

@@kevinlopezchavez5699 ah okay, thanks

[@googoomoomooxD]

Why don’t we do Cygnus Knights??

[@truthseekeryouri]

Is legion not account wide???? I knew all these characters on burning servers will go to other i don't care but i don't get their levels for my reboot legion???

[@GhettoSuguru]

What about the explorer magician link skill?

[@coppersan]

I mentioned them in the IED part, they are great for bossing, and provide some damage as well. I mostly use them for bossing as their effect isn't that useful if you can oneshot monsters when training

[@zephyruspring]

@@coppersan It's also worth mentioning the magician link triggers the thief link, so just about every class will want to have those 2 on when bossing at least.

[@chrysaorchronos6741]

Phant0mCast sent me here!

[@kaiser882]

Here my question can we stack them up if I have 2 demon slayer dose that increases the skill

[@coppersan]

Nope! For this class only 1 link skill works at the time. (some link skills can be stacked like explorer, KoC and resistance link skills)

[@phong3795]

hi Coppersan, im follow all your video from training guilde to legion, it alsome for return player like me, im training 3 thief exploder class now. but non of them can unlook legion, so what quest to unlook legion for exploder class pls, even my paladin request some quest also, thanks you mate and keep making alsome video

[@coppersan]

There is a bug at the moment preventing new characters from opening up legion. It should be fixed soon! (I hope)

[@phong3795]

Oh thanks you mate, as meantion about bug, the afterland quest will make game crash also, it cannot fix even when relogin or reinstall game, so dont do after land for now

[@kantu7735]

I HATE LEGION nice video coppersan always love watching your videos

[@OhoZ24]

Hello guys I was thinking maybe redownloading the game after 10 years out of pure nostalgia. Should I just go on the reboot server ?

[@johnny02128]

There are a lot more players on reboot. That's why I chose it when I came back this year as well. Though I heard regular servers are much easier. I haven't experienced it so don't take my word.

[@llarrswind]

I know I should but I really don't want to grind my Mercedes from 160 to 210
