MapleStory Meso and Drop Gear Making Guide - Making Training Gear 2024

[@midnightmonarus]

I tried last cube sale to do this for the first time, but i broke down crying before i could get 2 line drop

[@Duky]

i feel this

[@LoveKoga]

Makin it out of Lach with this one

[@PreemSardine]

you are an excellent communicator and teacher.

[@Khidahi]

It’s amazing how helpful you’ve been this past month, me and my friend just started playing recently and we were hella lost until we saw your vids 😅 Just wanted to say thank you since there’s a lot of KZbinrs that do these types of videos but yours resonated to me the most :)

[@corvscorner6208]

True!

[@Duky]

💗

[@AnonYoBizness]

I was gonna use my 4thh event ring for a mule, but using it as a bonus drop rate ring is way more useful THANK YOU

[@ogmechsftw]

I'm about to make my very first set of drop gear, as much as possible with DMT next week. this guide helps me prepare immensely, thanks!

[@tsong1118]

Crazy how I legit was trying to find a guide for this what perfect timing! Easy like on it

[@Shanks-ml]

This was an amazing video, as a new player you are helping so much! I will drop by on stream to support when I get a chance! I also have been hyper burning a shade been super fun also from your hyperburn video!

[@0v8748]

Man your channel is a godsend

[@spoofy6221]

Hey duky I was told if you stamp your item for 3 lines it increases your chance of tierring up. It was explained like this: for example when cubing an epic pot, a hard/bright/glowing cube has a low % to roll a unique line and that's when it tiers up, that is why bright cubes are best because they have highest % to roll the best lines. So instead of attempting to roll a unique line on an epic pot on 2 lines your attempting on 3

[@awaterb0ttle]

Looking good w the fresh cut and amazing guide video as always Duky!

[@secularteejay]

I got double prime drop on two items. I wasn't trying to get that, but I did manage to get mesos up to 100% and my drop is now 169% up from the starter 67%. I haven't seen what this does yet, but I will see tomorrow. I also did not know that I can equip more than one Gollux ring. So in the process of cubing my rings, I got 30% INT on the one I was trying to get meso or drop on. Kept that, and replaced NLC ring that gave me 18% INT and turned that one into a meso line. Now my mesos are at 100%. Double drop and meso I was aiming for but did not get one. Two items of double drop made me so happy because I heard it's hard to do. I spent 8B.

[@CesPlayin]

DUKYGOAT this is my next milestone being completed thanks to you

[@Loopie131]

Thank you for sharing this. I had no idea what the cubes were for, just started playing last week.

[@johndoe-lq7fl]

Been trying to tell my homies that Duky is the GOAT for a minute now

[@Zydico]

Great guide, but I think you should have mentioned Greed Pendant and building your gear around Pendant of the Spirit.

[@corvscorner6208]

Best MS youtuber confirmed?

[@weezy8801]

If one of the pendent slot should be prepared pendent when training, does that mean I need 10 lines of drop and 5 lines of meso out of 8 gear instead of 9?

[@Duky]

Yea

[@BackByDesign]

For hyper burned characters, do you think it’s worth waiting for miracle in August to go for drop gear?

[@Duky]

nah get it asap

[@KevinNguyen-io5ig]

would u recommend a new player focus on damage first? in the video you mentioned that starter drop gear costs around 8 bil but i have no where near that despite being high level. I am barely two shotting at higher arcane areas.

[@Duky]

prio the meso drop, get your damage from legion and dailies

[@unoyoudidnt]

You keep teaching the opps the secrets to gapping. Ty

[@BakaReviews]

With epic I also recommend using the epic pot scrolls and hard cubes from legion if you have the legion coin to spare

[@dank1104]

Clean cut and clean vid, keep it up duky

[@kevintan6561]

Hi Duky... I from seaMS I don't see any hard cube is selling in general store. does it need to complete some sort of pre quest or something?

[@brnatty5226]

should i make drop gear for only my main? or for all my boss mules?

[@Duky]

main only

[@linkoninja]

Duky make a fams guide and a monster collection guide please! Your guides are the best and concise.

[@rituru8986]

why do you have 4pc fafnir at 15:17 if you are wearing a gene weapon?

[@kirinashia567]

Genesis has a special effect where it can apply to several different set bonuses, so it can contribute to CRA and Arcane simultaneously for instance.

[@rituru8986]

@@kirinashia567 thank u for responding

[@leehtrujillo]

You said that, on average, it should take 8b to do the basic meso gear. But how do I get this 8b as a fresh player? I just returned to GMS and hyperburned a character

[@emoirl6495]

Ursus and daily/weekly bosses. I started after go west and have farmed around 1b already. I don't think this is geared towards brand new players, more something to work towards.

Eid mubarak to you and your family too!

[@Tenosyn]

I was running into an issue where I had no nodes so I couldn't boss. Then I found this. Guess I'll start on this. You forgot to mention familiars that can give a large chunk of drop rate rather easily.

[@Duky]

i just wanted to talk about the gear specifically but yeah fams are great

[@eddyzedios]

should I go for 4 event rings, or it is better to equip some normal ring?

[@Duky]

I like event rings that’s what I did

[@rituru8986]

FRESH HAIRCUT LOOKING CLEAN

[@xDorkFsho]

Can you make a similar video for bossing gear? It would be helpful for players like me who would like clarification on progressing with bosses (more in terms of how gear would look like after starforce/cubing to reach certain breakpoints). Thanks!

[@dabadoey]

When do you start considering alternate sets of accessory slots for pure stats to make bossing faster? should I just be getting dupes of whatever I can and slowly progressing them up to stat gear?

[@malcolmgraves2428]

Hey Duky. Isnt it better to tier up to legendary from unique with just glowing cubes? It seems like bright cubes are for when you already have a line in a desired stat and dont want to lose it

[@Duky]

nope, bright cubes tier up faster on average

[@malcolmgraves2428]

@@Duky dope thanks for that info

[@lukasbrelaz5295]

does Artifact Meso Drop stack with 100% meso drop gear?

what are the best items / set effects for endgame gear, excluding pitched(280+) - all my rings are 22 (sup, rein, slime, kt) should i prio superior set over dawn set? pots and spares are not an issue for me, i just want to minmax

im not sure if you got a guide but do you have one about getting better armor and where to get them? like step by step lets says lvl 100+ Cuz i believe from 10-100 is pretty easy to get loot and stuff but starting lvl 150+ is started to get hard

[@xBaserios]

Does double line gear come first before bossing gear? for a person who grind a lot. or better make bossing set with stats in them first?

Double line first

[@PardonMe_MS]

[@GhettoSuguru]

Is it even possible to make the event rings have double line drop ? Can only make 1 line of drop rate

[@Duky]

yes its just hard to roll

[@FunNugget01]

Just one thing - from epic > unique the cost effectiveness of using bright vs hard cubes is actually almost the same, assuming MathBro's calculator is accurate. I personally would just get bright cubes cos they tier up very easily for me

[@Duky]

thats fine

[@nutrienzochen]

insane vid 🔥

[@TKayXD]

Yo ! Love your video, but would you recommend this even to those who are not playing in the reboot server and just starting out the game ? Cuz i'm playing at maplesea and cubes are really hard to get. Thanks !

[@damonzen]

I think it can be done but maybe will take a very long time from using event cubes since maplesea doesn't have mesos cube. If you swipe then maybe you can get it done significantly faster.

[@Duky]

im not sure about MSEA meta tbh... come to Heroic!!

[@kwhatofit]

Do your vids broadly apply to reg server as well?

[@Duky]

kinda, but not always

[@thehelwing5756]

which accessories do you keep for meso + drop and which ones do you want for bossing?

[@Duky]

the ones that can go to 22* are used for bossing ideally

[@97BuuKid]

what about top and overall shoes gloves bots ? from where

[@KyogreRzard]

Would you recommend Star Forcing first or getting the Meso/Drop lines first? Shining Star Force is next weekend so should Mesos be saved for Stars or Meso/Drop?

[@erickim9417]

Always sf first if there is an event especially shining starforce (ssf) cause they only come twice a year

[@kirinashia567]

​@@erickim9417what about DMT? That also doesn't come very often, right?

[@Fezno]

Man's looking fresh for Eid. Sweet video

[@mangoexpert1994]

Do you do your weekly bosses with meso/drop gear? seems like it would be even more expensive to have bossing gear set and training gear set

[@Duky]

i do them with bossing gear, and then break the loot box with drop gear. it is more expensive but thats what you ultimately need to do

[@Netr0ss]

Really appreciate the deep explanation as this game is about as clear as mud for new players! Can you do a transfer hammer guide as well? I'm hesitating spending any money on upgrades now because I'm waiting to see how far the burning event takes my main (battle mage, which I chose based on your tier list). I don't want to spend loads of money on weaker gear that gets left behind in a week

[@sonnguyen-lk6pl]

Is it still important when you just do dailies on your main? Lol xd debating should I try to mKe it

[@Duky]

yes you gotta do dailies on main

[@girafirawr]

If you go over the 67 drop threshold, can mobs drop 2 or more meso bags? Or do they just only drop 1 no matter the drop %?

[@Duky]

1 bag only

[@marnze]

if a new player wants to super optimize, which class should they main first with this meso/drop gear? for farming and bossing to easily fund their "true" main

[@Duky]

Shad i guess cuz it has +20% meso

[@ryboits75]

If I cant get hybrid meso/drop past 260 zones, should I just opt in for full drop to capitalize on Frags instead of meso?

[@Duky]

nah meso is still so important

[@ryboits75]

@Duky so it's OK if I opt for 100 meso , and 120 drop, Over having just full 180 drop no meso?

[@madtype5198]

My main is 281 with decent drop/meso gear, would you do the same for a second main? looking to progress a Zero and wondering if it's worth just doing drop gear since I can farm meso etc on my main.

[@Duky]

yeah, get training gear for a 2nd main that you will train a lot

[@backgroundsoundmusic3078]

I'm new to the game, only 230. If I was to make drop gear when I can afford etc, is it meant to be a seperate set I can switch out or? I feel I need every ounce of damage I can get atm but possible I'm messing so much up when it comes to progres lol.

[@Duky]

yeah its a seperate set of gear

[@backgroundsoundmusic3078]

@@Duky legend man, appreciate the videos and your reply. Thanks!

thanks for the video, very helpful! Would you consider making one about the jargon in maplestory? I am kind of new to the game and still find some things difficult to understand/differentiate (e.g. Two-minute classes, burst, origin)

[@TheHeheehe]

thank you for your videos i just come back to maple world after 7 years and everything is new to me. I'm currently start at burning world and i don't know after the event end what world should i join the heroic world where cube buy via meso or interact world where cube via cash/ auction house. additionally i want to ask does 200% drop gear max include % drop gear from familiar ? cuz i have a unique potential familiar that increase drop rate like 60% i think so do I just roll my gear to 140% and let the pet do the rest. or they will add 200 + 60 too what do you think. thank you

[@digitaljester3545]

How should i go about drop gear if im not even oneshotting the mobs on my lvl with my current stat% gear? :o im a 245 shade (no abso gear except weapon from event) if that helps

[@Duky]

still get the meso and drop, its more important than one shotting for now. You will one shot overtime with legion and arcane force gains

[@JohnWick2077s]

Is it worth investing in another set of gear(separate from meso drop) for damage? Or is obtaining meso and drop onto stronger gear enough? Cause i just wanna make sure i can still clear mobs/bosses.

[@Duky]

yeah ultimately you have damage gear and drop gear

[@sergioserna3544]

Thank u so much I trained to 277 with no meso drop gear wtf…. Best KZbinr on ms….. my friends said damage gear is more important :(

[@davidcohen4674]

never been so early for a Duky vid

[@fiorenzocao8056]

Does it make sense to you if I make meso and item drop gears on my sub-main which is hyperburst and I have enough damage from reward weapon; while making all the damage gears for my main (not hyper burst, and I am really lacking damage to one-shot monsters)?

[@Touk1-u7i]

You don't recommend greed pendant?

[@Duky]

no the greed pendant drop doesnt work the same as other drop gear. it works on equip tab items like pensalir, not nodes or frags

[@Touk1-u7i]

@@Duky Thanks for explaining, I didn't know that 🙏

[@jackywong9139]

Is item drop rate affects mesos drop rate? And is it good i dont care about mesos obtained and go for 9x20drop rate = 180 drop rate first? My legions are 7k i thk im in midgame now i duno is it a good idea

[@xLadranix]

I am at 8m atk range (251 Viper), and I usually just solo bosses up to cvel every week + dailies. Should I concentrate on increasing my atk range or create some +mesos accessories?

[@RonCharles13]

Is meso obtain still really important if youre a dailystory player? Or should I prioritise 1 line drop

[@Duky]

still get meso yea

[@MrSummertimeShine]

Does it matter which piece of gear gets the drop or meso line? Or can we just roll it on any accessory as long as we hit

[@Duky]

Ideally pendants have drop, and the rest don’t matter

[@Kotturos]

Amazing video!!! I just rolled a 3 line sup ring because of this!!

[@NewesSkiller]

I’m a little confused. New player. Should I be prioritizing stats first on gear then go Meso/drop or do you always have drop/Meso equipped?

[@Duky]

prio the meso drop, get your damage from legion and dailies you make damage gear later

[@clairhayden7943]

How do I get enough mesos for this in the first place? Is it just a matter of doing ursus and the news network thing + time?

[@jurenl.8983]

Yes also weekly bosses and mobbing meso

[@namelessman6992]

Mobbing with full meso buff gives 300m-500m on average each hour Bosses gives 1-2 b per week, depending on wich ones and how many plp are u doing with Ursus is low tier, 700m on the week And maple tour is even lower, like 380m per week So basically, farm a lot and make boss mules

[@Khepri_Sun]

Is it worth it to 22* drop gear or is that overkill? What about 21*?

[@Duky]

overkill imo, 21 is fine if u rly need it

[@AustinEdgar]

What happens when you are going for meso/drop but you get let’s say 2 or 3 line stat… this is a dilemma I have come across many times. Especially when trying to tier up. Seems like Nexon wants me to 3l stat on unique too often haha.

[@Duky]

you prio the meso drop

[@iNovaburn]

Thank you!

[@beverage4263]

My main level is 250 and I mostly get meso from bossing. Should I still make meso/drop gear? I rarely ever grind.

if u ever plan to play more, yes

There is olso the greed pendant that already have 20% drop rate at start (from monsterpark)👍😎

[@ringthatkill]

Isnt that for eq only

[@momokun90]

But thats only for equipment drop rate, no?

[@Dantevictory]

Yes

[@asd-dr9cf]

​​@@momokun90good for early bossing tho to get that increased chance of Magnus badge/shoulder, pb belts etc, if you started doing monster park early, and transition very later for drop gear for finding kanna ring, supp gollux drop or Dom pendant, because equipment drop goes can break the normal item drop rate cap

[@hamadalnuaimi5180]

Should I do Meso/Drop gear on my hyper burning bossing mule character or only on my main?

[@Duky]

if you train hyper burn higher than 260, sure

[@donckwilliams92]

Do you have a threads of fate WAP farming guide? I heard you can get enough to pretty much have it up 100% of the time farming, but a lot of the guides are outdated or don't explain one aspect or another such as best 3 NPCs for stats and item farming, fastest setup, reseting ask quests etc...

Is building Meso/Drop gear important if you only play the game for like 2 hours per day?

[@erickim9417]

Yup arguably more important since your grinding time is lower. I made the mistake of making them too late when i first started😅

[@Jaynesslessly]

maybe less important for meso but drops are important regardless, imagine lomien dropping 2 mats a week instead 1 like that is goated af

[@crabsupreme]

I am going for full drop first until cernium in my hyperburn because meso drops are pretty low anyway until cernium, hopefully juicing my familiar drops in arcane river while I'm there

[@Duky]

quick move in the town

[@SenpaiSaiko]

Hair lookin fresh

[@MasterStacona]

Glowing and Bright cubes have the same chances, the only thing you are paying for is the save function on Bright Cubes, think of it exactly like Safeguard fee, but for cubing. The only reason Bright Cubes have a "higher" tier up rate (tier up % chance and mesos cost difference is the same between Glowing and Bright Cubes, neither is better to tier up on) is to not screw over new players that don't know the difference between cubes and you don't ever need the save function while tiering up. For line rolling , Glowing and Bright Cubes are identical.

[@Duky]

no this is completely not true at all. This is misinformation
