MapleStory M Unfunded Shortcuts Guide for Beginners(4) (PBA Weapon, Star Force Tips, PBD/BiS Armor)

[@maplestorymtips]

Note: Nexon just nerfed mesos drop in SF80, now you should move your alts to SF75 instead, then SF110, then SF123 To add souls to weapon/shoulder/cape a better strategy is to make 3 souls altogether and then decide which soul goes to which equipment to maximize their value.

Happy new year!! Bro i'm still seeing the guide, it's very cool :D I'm sorry i have another question in the table at minute 4:18 what means Warrior 1 and Warrior 2?

[@maplestorymtips]

there are 2 types of weapon for warriors, some are 26 like spear, some are 28 like one-hand sword

[@eli3051]

you are literally a lifesaver, i have been following this guide religiously and it's helped me with so much and i don't feel overwhelmed!!! thank you so much!! I just have a question regarding PBA, i read online that getting emblem weapons are better than PBA. would you recommend f2p players to get emblem weapons or just pba?

[@maplestorymtips]

they don't conflict. you can get a PBA with emblem. just keep applying emblem scrolls you get from event reward or eventshop

[@bjergzed5600]

A very helpful guide thank you! i'm a newbie so I badly need this one. Altough I already made a mistake by ranking up my evd boots to unique at sf 12 LOL.

[@maplestorymtips]

don't worry not a huge mistake, unique item just slightly more expensive than epic

[@ritchiengo405]

Hi tysm for your guide videos, I have a sf 15 belt ( free non boss set ) and I just got the zakum belt, is it worth swapping over and SFing it up for the stats? Not sure what to do here. Or should I wait until the bis belt drops then swap over? This applies for other gear too. How do I decide when to make the swap over?

[@maplestorymtips]

I'd recommend swap to zakum belt first for the boss set effect. 15sf won't cost a lot to get

[@TheBat5996]

Thank you for the guide! So what about the items I received at the event, as well as the Maple Adventure (Legendary, Mythic Armor Treasure), how should I use them?

[@jiere100]

Got a few things to ask related to PBA weapons: 1. Any tips for getting Hoyoung's PBA weapon since the character's so new? 2. Also, with the perfect innocence scroll being over 1B in trade station, is it better to just roll for PBA weapon from treasure chest? Cus trade station also doesn't have much or any normal PBA ritual fans on sale atm. 3. Which weapon type should I work towards? Jaihin for Crit DMG?

[@maplestorymtips]

1. I haven't played it yet, taking a break now. maybe can answer later. 2. I don't recommend using perfect innocent scroll as it can't reach true PBA. Yes using treasure chest is the best way if can't find it in TS. 3. Jaihin is the most common choice.

[@seah3588]

Hi shall i extract those epic gears as well? Keep those near to PBD and extract those with low value?

[@xtaylorxboyx]

Hi. What does warrior (1) and warrior (2) mean? Are you suggesting to skip warrior (1) normal and rare, PBA weapons, and find a warrior (1) epic PBA weapon?

[@maplestorymtips]

some warrior weapons have a normal PBA of 26 like spear, some have normal PBA of 28 like paladin's sword. For those with 26 normal PBA you can't rank it up and keep it PBA so you need to directly get epic PBA and rankup from epic level.

[@maplestorymtips]

secondary weapon can't be ranked up. you have to directly buy the rank you want. since that PBA is less a concern than regular weapon. but still it's nice to have

scales w exp give highest value, but in mid-late game u think scale w hp/mp/ba better? we dont have slot for exp items. just souls/jewels

[@maplestorymtips]

currently EXP still works better even in late game. but since EXP is capped at 250%, HP can grow infinitely if Nexon opens more levels (for example level 300) so in the future it's hard to say
