Maple Update

Lolz! Now..this is cool. :P Now at level 47...going very slow now. Not much change except my hat colour and my ear rings. The earrings don't really suit a guy character but i have no choice if i want to increase my stats....hope can change earrings at level 50.
The hat is damn cool but it took me a lot to acquire it. I had to hunt and gather a total of 2300 of an item to get it in the end. Yup...its not a typo...its 2300. Had to hunt like crazy...seeing the same monster over and over again...but it was worth it coz from this point on, my equipment can no longer be bought at the in-game stores....i have to hunt monsters and hoping that they drop the equipment or buy it from other players who have already acquired the item. Another way is to complete certain quests and receive the equipment as a reward like what i did to acquire my hat.
But its hard to acquire the exact equipment you want from monster drops as 1) seldom drop it or 2) drop other equipment which you can't use. I read in the forum that trying to hunt for an exact equipment usually fails 95% of the time...:S no need lo like dat....:P
Buying from players is another option but the prices can be crazy. I have seen items run to the millions of in-game money! For example, I bought my level 50 clothes for 500k, my level 50 bow for 750k and my level 60 bow for 425k. Sigh..there goes my savings...:X
Oooo..another crazy thing about this game...there are items called scrolls which can be used on an item to improve the equipment strength but there are differing success rates. There are 100%, 60%, 30% and 10%. 100% goes quite cheap. The others....depending on what equipment it is used for, price range around 500k. The lower percentage scrolls add more stats but have higher rate of failure. Imagine you buy a 10% scroll for 500k and with a click of a button and a notice shows it failed. The reason why scrolls are expensive is because they can mostly only be acquired from quests. only 100% scrolls can be bought from in-game stores.

Oh my goodness....i wrote a thesis on Maple Story..."hey prof! where's my doctorate?" :P
well...here is my character again. will update when i get new clothes. ooooo...damn cool!!
