The Maple Update
Looking back, I realized I havent updated maple related things in 3 months, LOL
This leads me to wonder, where do I start? 3 months ago, where was I? Things happen in life all the time, the question is whether we want to place importance on them. With that in mind, I’ll try and sum up everything in the last 3 months without boring anyone (if there’s anyone left still xD)
3 months ago, I was using a 100%’d overall, and a borrowed 107 atk red arund, 3 months ago, I had just gotten my HT pendant. My equips still needed upgrading and this was the first upgrade:
This upgrade cost me 325 mill and Earl, being the cheapass he is (as if he needed more mesos *f3*, he’s scrolled like 4 overalls better than the one I bought already D: ), he made me buy arrows one by one:
Moving on, next we had skillbooks. A friend (Cindy) was papping in class one day and found Hurricane 30. I offered to buy it but she insisted I take it free,
I didnt screenshot it, but it worked, so all that was left was the leveling to get my hurricane to 21, which was what I wanted, as there’s an 11% boost from level 20-level 21 hurricane.
The first level towards getting to 21 hurricane.
Now that the overall was upgraded all that was left was the bow. Being the person that I am, Im VERY indecisive and stingy and it took ages to track down a bow that I thought was a reasonable price. In the end, I just settled for this deal here. I felt I overpaid but I some friends talked me into it at last.
The stats?
Its not the best in the world, but Im happy with it. I had to trade my 14 atk gloves for it but I bought 13 atks with nx to replace it (63k if I remember correctly).
Whee, fun! box in zakum!
With a new bow, I was able to level! I learned one thing during that level up: It takes phoenix FOREVER to kill squids D: They seem strong to fire or something and phoenix died before the squid did xD This was also the level where I LITERALLY got dc’d by a server check at 99.98%.
Many of you know, Ive been collecting nx for ages and not using my AP for the last few levels as well. Though I had enough to wash, I saved up, gambling that an AP reset sale will be on… I won this gamble:
Back when I started leveling this character, things like horntail and stuff werent out and INT equips arent as pro as they are now so I didnt really have much MP to wash with, leading me to MP wash. The hp gain was pretty dramatic:
3650–>4114 hp, which meant I finally had enough to solo pap and off to do that I went.
During this time, I trained Retalion, the 2x rogue as well and got it to 30. I was really iffy in trying to decide whether to make it a sin or a bandit but decided on bandit in the end:
And of course, there’s Paul doing what he does best… Can someone answer this question for him?
Back to Pap solos…
Some people would kill me for my luck. Brandish 30 on my 8th solo xD, the Barrage on my 4th… Yeah, in under 10 pap solos, I made 85 mill, lol. However, just because I have enough hp to take a hit from pap bombs now, that doesnt mean I can tank a 2nd body hit *f3*
This made me believe my choice of becoming a bandit is the right one (yes, I ran out of stars at 99.11% and had to use my fruit dagger to level up):
Okay, so I dont have enough hp to tank one of these, but I decided to give it a go nontheless. I went and solo’d my first bigfoot. It took 18 minutes and many heart attacks from watching it come uncornered to kill it:
I now also have enough hp for Manon and Griffey. Manons decided to drop me tonnes of skills…the problem? they’re all crappy skills (Im not going to need Phoenix 30 till Im like 180… whenever the hell that is, LOL):
The New Years Sack gave me a pretty scroll… I dont want to use it D:
And to finish things off…
People should REALLY hate me. That’s Barrage 30, Brandish 30 and a Codar (albeit 103 with no INT) in 11 pap solos… and of course, what happens on the next pap solo? I die xD A bomb powered up and kaboom’d in my face >=(
Wish fulfilled.

I’ll try updating maple once a week, provided I go on maple enough to warrant an update xD
