Once your items reach the Legendary potential tier, only Super Miracle Cubes can be used on them to reset their stats.

Items with Potential are only available as drops from monsters, if a Potential Scroll or Tim's Secret Lab has been used on a normal item, or if items with Potential are fused.

Here's how to use a Super Miracle Cube:

1.Obtain an item that has revealed Potential stats.
2.Enter the Cash Shop and purchase a Super Miracle Cube (or a bundle thereof).
3.Double-click the Super Miracle Cube in your Cash Inventory to move it to your item inventory, then exit the Cash Shop.
4.Double-click the Super Miracle Cube in the Cash tab of your item inventory.
5.Drag your item with revealed Potential from the Equip tab of your item inventory and place it inside the Super Miracle Cube window.
6.Click "OK" and the item will return to a Hidden Potential state.
7.Use a Magnifying Glass from a general store to reveal the item's new Potential stats!
As a bonus, you will receive a Super Miracle Cube Fragment in the Use tab of your item inventory. Combine twenty of these to obtain an Advance Equip Enhancement Scroll, or combine thirty to earn an Epic Potential Scroll 80%, which can raise items from the Rare potential tier to the Epic tier.

These items are available in the New section under the Event tab.

-The Maple team-

 

Hello there, people of Southperry! Welcome to my scamming prevention guide. This was the first Maplestory guide I ever wrote, so it might not be as good as some of my other ones. I hope you still find it helpful, though.

Oh, and PLEASE don't ask me why I ended every situation with the phrase, "You've been had." I have no idea myself.

Introduction
Scammers: One of low down races of Maplestory. I have been scammed (several times, unfortunately) before, and want to prevent YOU from being the next victim. Now, some of you may think that you’re just sooooo freaking smart and won’t give a crap about this thread. If you think you’re just sooooo freaking smart, please leave. Now, for the rest of you, read on.

How to Spot a Scammer
There is no definite way to spot a scammer, though you might want to watch out for their:

-Fame
Many scammers have low or negative fame. However, discriminating ever guy you see on the streets with negative fame is a VERY ineffective way to spot a scammer. They may have been mass defamed, buy defames, or just don’t give a crap. But if a random person with -12 fame invites you to a drop game, you may want to be careful.
-Level
Would you rather have your level 15 account banned for scamming or your level 60 one? Any human with a shred of common sense would choose the first option. Guess what: scammers are humans too (gasp). So be careful if a level 13 wants you to follow him to the Kerning Hospital because he is “dropping free steelys"

The Amazing Item Copier
NOTE: Hazzy has informed me that this scam no longer works. I have not confirmed this yet, but it is fully possible.

Intro
This is the most commonly performed scam in Maple. It is also the one that works the least.

The situation
A person you’ve never seen before requests a trade with you. You accept it. The following conversation:

Random person: Want to copy your best items? There’s this new glitch that allows you to!
You: Really? How does it work?
Random Person: All you have to do is put an item into the trade box and press tab+tab+space+enter. Try it! It works with mesos and scrolled items too.
You: Ok!

You put your 30-attack maple claw in the trade box and press tab+tab+space+enter. Suddenly the trade window disappears and another window pops up that says, “Trade successful. Please check results.†You check your inventory. No maple claw. You’ve been had.

How to Prevent This
Luckily, this is one of the easiest scams to prevent. Click the “cancel†key and report the person for scamming. Or you could mess with the scammer’s mind for a few minutes and then cancel and report. It doesn’t matter to me. Just DON’T tab+tab+space+enter.

Note: Another version of this scam consists of the scammer telling you to press trade but NOT press "yes" on the trade acception window. Instead, they have you type "copy". Do NOT listen. If you do, you will lose the item you put into the trade box. This is because the word "copy" has the letter "y" in it. "Y" stands for "yes", so you will end up accepting the trade. Other words with "y" (Maplestory, etc.) also work. (Credits for this note go to nummynummy and some other random people.)

Drop Game Cheating

Intro
Here’s a lesson kids: Drop games are for suckers.

The situation
A person is spamming, “Drop game in the Kerning Hospital! Dropping free tobis?You follow him into the hospital for a chance of free stars. You are the only person the follows him into the hospital. The following:

Person: Ok, You stand next to the big air vent. I’ll stand next to this hospital booth. I’m going to drop my tobis. You drop something too. If the item is you drop is worth my than my tobis, you can have them. Got it?
You: Yep.
Person: Ok, ready, set, drop!

The person drops his tobis. You drop a set of steelys. Suddenly, someone you didn’t see behind the air pipe (the Kerning Hospital has no mini-map) comes out and picks up your steelys. He then CCs. The person who dropped the tobis CCs too. You’ve lost your steelys. In other words, you have been had.

How to Prevent This
Like I said in the intro, drop games are for suckers. Never play one, no matter how “fun?it seems. If you want to compare items, why not use a TRADE WINDOW? If you just “have?to play a drop game, don’t drop anything too expensive. Drop a clean WG and claim it’s 10 attack or something. How would they find out?

The “Best Friend Forever" Scam
Intro
Do you have a friend? I’m sure we all do. But even a friend can stab you in the back.

The Situation
You need to transfer a 72 attack wagner to your mule on another account. Unfortunately, you only have one computer available for use. You need the weapon RIGHT NOW, so you don’t have time to send it over Bill. Then suddenly an idea pops from your head: friend transfer. You message your best friend.

You: Hey Rob, I need to give my 72 attack wagner to my mule. Can you hold the wagner for me while I log on to him?
Friend: Sure, meet in the FM.

You think this over. Do you want to trust your wagner with him? Sure, why not. He’s been your buddy for nearly a year now and you two have trained together for 50 levels. You meet him in the FM and give him the weapon. You log off and get on your mule. But when you log on, you’re friend isn’t there. “Oh well,?you think to yourself, “I’ll ask him tomorrow? But you’re friend never logs on again. Hours, weeks, a month passes. You realize that your wagner is gone. You’ve been had.

How to Prevent This
This is the hardest scam to perform. Only the most low-down, rotten, no-hearted scammers will attempt this one. Unfortunately, this is also the hardest scam to prevent. One way to stop this from ever happening is to kick everyone out of your buddy list, quit Maple, and hide under a rock. But most of us are probably not going to do that. A more sensible solution to this scam is to transfer in small portions. If you need to transfer 50 mil, give your friend 5 mil at a time. Losing 5 mil to a scammer is better than losing 50. It’s also a good idea to try to avoid friend transfers altogether. If you only have one computer, send the stuff over Bill. If you have two computers, why are you friend transferring stuff anyway?

“The Gold-Digger" Scam
This is a close version to the previously mentioned scam, but is based around a different kind of relationship between you and the scammer: marriage.

The Situation
You’ve been married with a girl for 3 weeks and give her a wedding present: a set of ilbis. Then, the next day, out of the blue, she divorces from you. You’re devastated, but become enraged the next week when you realize that she’s married another guy. You confront the guy a few weeks later, but he tells you that after taking several mil worth in wedding gifts, divorced from him too. You’ve been had. This time by a “gold-digger?(a girl character in Maple, usually a guy in irl, who marries and breaks up constantly for wedding gifts).

How to Prevent This
There are several different ways to prevent this from ever happening. The way you choose will depend on who you are and the status of your marriage. If you:

- Married for fun : Don’t pay $30 for a computer marriage! If you get married “for the fun of it? let your partner pay for the wedding. When it’s time for wedding gifts, don’t give your 50 attack scarab or your godly scrolled kandayo away; give her/him something like a clean maple staff or a 10 DEX sauna.
- Married your Maple GF : Life’s tough, but people double-cross each other a LOT in the internet. It may be time to get a real girlfriend. If you are a die-hard supporter of MS marriage, it’s ok. Just be careful; don’t trust too much of your stuff with your partner.
- Married your real GF : Your real girlfriend double-crossed you? It’s break-up time!
- Married for APQ : Make it clear to your partner that you married for APQ only. This way, you won’t have to risk anything. If you make sure your partner knows, he/she won’t get mad when you don’t give them a wedding gift, or that you never talk to them.

The “You Can Trust Me" Scam
Intro
Don’t trust people that you’ve only known for 10 minutes, please.

The Situation
A lvl 33 I/L mage is spamming, “Quitting Maple! Dropping everything I own! Follow me to FM 12?You and two other people follow him.

I/L Mage: Ok, here’s how it works: You drop something, then I drop something of equal value and you can pick both of them up. It’s like a drop game, except you always win.

Person #1 drops a Maple Scorpio. The I/L wizard drops a cromi and Person #1 picks both items. He comes out happy. Person #2 drops a lionheart. The wizard drops him a blue chainmail. He comes out happy. You drop a set of steelys; hoping for an extra-big prize. The I/L mage says, “Sorry, but I don’t know anything about thief items L? You get a sap of ancient tree. It’s Person #1’s turn again. He drops a blood slain.

I/L Mage: I SAID, I don’t know anything about thief items. Ok, this is getting dumb.
I/L Mage: Ok, change of rules: To get a good item, you have to actually trade it to me. Then I will retrade you and give you your item and an extra item back. If you’ve got a lot of trust, you’ll get a good prize.

Person #1 seems a bit hesitant, but agrees. Thirty seconds later, he starts jumping around and spamming, “I GOT FREE KUMBIS! I GOT FREE KUMBIS?Person #2 is also hesitant, but is satisfied in the end. You do not hesitate; you’re convinced that this is totally legit. Why wouldn’t you be? Two people have already done it and came out happy! You trade the I/L mage your steelys. Expecting a great prize, you click the trade button. Suddenly, the I/L mage d/ces. You try tracking him for the rest of the day, but he doesn’t log on. It takes you a few hours, but you finally realize you’ve been had.

How to Prevent This
Trust is overrated. Just because a person has been “nice†for the last 15 minutes doesn’t mean you can trust him with your most prized possessions. After you finished reading the article “The Situation†you probably immediately thought, “I’m not that stupid. I could see that scam from a million miles away.†The truth is, you probably can’t. Why? Because of your sense of trust will probably clog up your common sense. Sometimes it helps to look at your actions. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and THINK about what you’re doing. Instincts like trust screw over your thoughts until you can’t realize the stupidity of a situation. If humans followed this advice more, we would find ourselves in a lot fewer dumb situations. In other words: Just be careful and don’t act stupid.

The “Retrade I’m Lagging" Scam
Note: Idea submitted by boombadaboom (I think)

Intro
If something’s too good to be true, it probably is.

The situation
You’re selling tobis for 1 mil in the FM. You know the price is a bit of a stretch, but that’s what merchanting’s about, right? After several minutes of spamming the same old, “S> TOBIS 1MIL? you get tired and start to leave the FM. Suddenly, someone requests to trade with you. You open the box, and-

Random Person: I’ll buy your tobis. But hurry up. My dinner is in 5 minutes. In fact, if you speed things up, I’ll give you 1.1 mil for them.
You: Ok!

You put your stars up and the random person puts 1,111,111 mesos in to the trade box. It’s an awkward number, but you don’t have time for questions. The trade button is hit?and then the other guy cancels the trade. You message him and ask him why he did this, and he answered, “Sorry, I’m really laggy in the FM. Retrade?So you retrade the person, do the same thing all over, and?he cancels again. So you keep on trying. Cancel, cancel, cancel. Tired of the person wasting your time, you start clicking the trade icon as fast as you can. Half of the time, you don’t even look at the screen! Then, after 8 or so retrades, the “Trade Succesful?window finally pops up. You rejoice and check your inventory. But something’s wrong. You’ve barely received 100k! Then you realize what happened. In your rush get a trade, the random guy secretly inserted 111,111 mesos instead of 1,111,111 mesos in the trade box. You’ve been had.

How to Prevent This
When Fming, take things slooooow. Rushing will not help you and it’ll occasionally hurt you. If someone is in a rush to receive your items, its ok to speed things up, but watch what you’re doing. And lastly, like what I said in the intro, if something’s too good to be true, it probably is.

The "Buy High Sell Higher" Scam
Note: I resubmitted this part of the guide. If you think you were the one who gave me the idea, notify me please.

Intro
Just like the previously described scam, this scam also happens in the FM. And once again, if it's too good to be true, it probably is (some people just never learn)

The Situation
You need a new pair of work gloves, so you take with yourself 4 mil and walk to the FM. While passing through, you notice a guy spamming, "B>CLEAN RED HEART EARRINGS 2 MIL!". You think to yourself, "2 mil? What a great deal!" Too bad you don't have any red heart earrings. You keep on walking. Suddenly, you see another person spamming, "S> CLEAN RED HEART EARRINGS 1.5 MIL!" You remember the guy you saw earlier, and automatically trade the person selling the earrings. The person accepts the trade, puts in the heart earrings, and then you pay him. The trade is successful and you walk over to the other side where you last saw the guy buying red hearts. But he's gone. You've been had (either that or you're really unlucky).

How to Prevent This
Man, this is getting really tiring. If it's too good to be true, IT PROBABLY IS. Geez. And that's pretty much all you need to know to prevent yourself from being screwed by this scam.

The “Account Giveaway Sweepstakes†Scam

Intro
See all those “giving away account†threads over there in the General Maplestory section? Many of them aren’t as innocent as they seem…

The Situation
You’re browsing through the General MS section. You see a thread titled “I’m Quitting MapleStoryâ€. You decided to check it out. It turns out to become sob story about how the TS’s friends have quit… blah blah blah… how the MS community sucks…. blah blah blah… how he’s giving his level 90 crusader away to random poster . Your eyes spring at those words. You could totally use a level 90 crusader! So you post on the thread. A day later, you receive a PM from the TS. He gives you his account’s username, passwords, and PIN. You log on immediately. The account’s been stripped, but you don’t really care. Of course, you realize that the account could easily be hacked. So you limit funds flowing into the account for several weeks. Six weeks later… nothing’s happened. You’re pretty sure it’s all clear, so you start funding the account. To start it up, you buy a 105 ATK Devil’s Sunrise. A week later, you get your crusader a 2 ATK 10 STR PAC. By the end of the month, you’ve even gotten a Z-helm. The next day, you turn on Maplestory and type in your account’s info. It doesn’t work. After 5 tries, it still doesn’t work. You realize that the person who “gave†you the account was simply working a scam. You’ve been hacked; the password’s been changed. 110 mil down the drain.

How to Prevent This
People rarely ever give their accounts away to random players for “freeâ€. I mean, if you’re not getting paid, who would you rather give your account to: a close friend or some random person you’ve never met in real life? I thought so. If someone DOES offer you an account, don’t accept it UNLESS they give you the account’s email and answer to Secret Question #2 along with the basic info. This way, you can change the account’s password and recover the pin.

The "I'm Your Friend" Scam
This one probably needed to be retyped... but whatever. XD

The situation: A low level character crosses your path. Then he "recognizes" you and says "Hey, remember me? I'm Rick, your maple friend who quit a couple months ago!" And you remember him. You start talking and then "Rick" tells you that he gave away his stuff and needs a startup. You, being a generous guy, give him a load of mesos, believing that he will return it all one day. You buddy each other and the low level character logs off. Then you never see him again. It takes you a while to realize that you've been had.

The solution: You should trust nobody. Make sure your friends can all prove who they are, for example, tell your friends that if they every come back to be prepared to answer a special question. Just make sure that the person behind the character is genuine.
The "Click Faster" Scam

The Situation
You see a smega saying that there's a ton of great items for 300 meso each at a guy's store. You CC and go to the FM and see a crowd of people trying to get in one store. The store says to keep clicking and pressing enter on the shop, and you really want to get in so you do what it says. It's full, so you wait and wait. Eventually, you get in, you saw the box pop up and you pressed enter so you've bought something. You get out of the shop and find 20 mill mesos gone and a wooden wand in your inventory. You've been had" o-o

How to Prevent This
Don't listen to those naughty smegas. End of story. You can stop this by waiting around at the spot of the scene and looking to see what people are saying. Once you see a spot open in the store, go in by clicking on it a couple of times, but not enough to buy something and check what was sold first and take your time and study the item first. Of course, if it's something like a level 40 wand that you need for cheap, buy it.
A Basic Overview
A lot of the scams that I just mentioned SEEM very easy to spy and prevent. But this is because the style of writing I used in “The Situation?was stuck to the fact that “that random guy?was always the scammer. Most random guys aren’t scammers, and scams are actually really hard to detect. So don’t make smart remarks like, “Omg I’m so pro there’s no way I can get scammed because I have so much common sense and pro-ness and blah blah blah...? because when YOU get scammed, don’t come crying to me. Happy Mapling!

Constructive Critism
If you don’t like this guide give me some suggestions. If you know of a scam that I haven’t included in here, write it in this format so I can just copy paste it instead of re-type it word for word:

ShiKage's Post-Big Bang Paladin Build!

I'm not well-versed in the ways of Paladins. I've never actually played one far into third job in the official servers, but I have played the class in JMST and have discussed this build over with a certain player who has made her own Paladin in KMS and this is what I have come up with. This build may not be for everyone, so take it as you will.



First Job

Level 10 : +1 Power Strike
Level 11 : +3 Slash Blast
Level 12 : +3 Slash Blast
Level 13 : +3 Slash Blast
Level 14 : +3 Slash Blast
Level 15 : +3 Slash Blast
Level 16 : +3 Slash Blast
Level 17 : +2 Slash Blast (Max), +1 Power Strike
Level 18 : +3 Power Strike
Level 19 : +3 Power Strike
Level 20 : +3 Power Strike
Level 21 : +3 Power Strike
Level 22 : +3 Power Strike
Level 23 : +3 Power Strike (Max)
Level 24 : +3 HP Increase
Level 25 : +3 HP Increase
Level 26 : +3 HP Increase
Level 27 : +1 HP Increase (Max), +2 Iron Body
Level 28 : +3 Iron Body
Level 29 : +3 Iron Body
Level 30 : +3 Iron Body (11)


Result :
10 HP Increase (MAX)
20 Power Strike (MAX)
20 Slash Blast (MAX)
11 Iron Body

Reason :
In the Big Bang changes, MAX HP Increase was changed completely. Instead of increasing base HP when you level up, it now increases your HP by total percent based on the skill's level. For instance, if you have 1,000 HP and you put 10 points into HP Increase, you will get plus 200 HP at that exact moment. Therefore, instead of going for HP Increase immediately, it's wise to go for Slash Blast. Put one point into Power Strike as a prerequisite to Slash Blast and then proceed to max Slash Blast. After that, finish up Power Strike. For the rest of the time, finish up HP Increase and then dump the rest of your points in Iron Body. Those points in Iron Body will prove to be of some use now. After Big Bang, defense actually helps, so the more defense, the more survivability you will have.

Second Job

Level 30 : +1 Ground Smash
Level 31 : +3 Mastery
Level 32 : +2 Mastery, +1 Booster
Level 33 : +3 Booster
Level 34 : +1 Booster (5), +2 Mastery
Level 35 : +3 Mastery
Level 36 : +3 Mastery
Level 37 : +3 Mastery
Level 38 : +3 Mastery
Level 39 : +1 Mastery (Max), +2 Improved Basics
Level 40 : +3 Improved Basics
Level 41 : +3 Improved Basics
Level 42 : +2 Improved Basics (Max), +1 Final Attack
Level 43 : +3 Final Attack
Level 44 : +3 Final Attack
Level 45 : +3 Final Attack
Level 46 : +3 Final Attack
Level 47 : +3 Final Attack
Level 48 : +3 Final Attack
Level 49 : +1 Final Attack (Max), +2 Threaten
Level 50 : +1 Threaten (3), +2 Power Guard
Level 51 : +3 Power Guard
Level 52 : +3 Power Guard
Level 53 : +3 Power Guard
Level 54 : +3 Power Guard
Level 55 : +3 Power Guard
Level 56 : +3 Power Guard (Max)
Level 57 : +3 Threaten
Level 58 : +3 Threaten
Level 59 : +3 Threaten
Level 60 : +3 Threaten
Level 61 : +3 Threaten
Level 62 : +2 Threaten (Max), +1 Booster
Level 63 : +3 Booster
Level 64 : +3 Booster
Level 65 : +3 Booster
Level 66 : +3 Booster
Level 67 : +2 Booster (Max), +1 Ground Smash
Level 68 : +3 Ground Smash
Level 69 : +3 Ground Smash
Level 70 : +3 Ground Smash (11)

Result :
11 Ground Smash
20 Mastery (MAX)
20 Booster (MAX)
20 Final Attack (MAX)
20 Threaten (MAX)
20 Power Guard (MAX)
10 Improved Basics (MAX)

Reason :
You may be thinking, "Only eleven points in Ground Smash!? What are you thinking!?" However, Ground Smash is replaced in third job pretty quickly. Level one Ground Smash is more than efficient enough to get you through second job and into the part of third job where it's completely replaced. Slash Blast with Improved Basics on bigger mobs will be better than Ground Smash, especially in places like Monster Carnival. So, to start out, get one Ground Smash to help a bit with training, then get 5 Mastery for the sake of getting 5 booster, which will help your training a lot, then proceed to max out Mastery. After Mastery, max out Improved Basics so that you deal a lot more damage, which will in turn help you train a bit faster. After that, max out Final Attack. Final Attack, after the Big Bang, is very good. It has absolutely no delay, so it's practically extra damage added to whatever skill you use. This will help out your training by quite a bit. After Final Attack is maxed, you should get 3 Threaten so that you can work on Power Guard. Power Guard, after the Big Bang, has a fifty percent reflection rate, meaning you only take half of the damage you normally would from a monster. This will save a lot in potions, and in turn, money. After that, proceed to max out Threaten and then Booster. After that, you will have ten extra points. Either dump some in Iron Body for an extra bit of defense or dump the rest in Ground Smash.

20 Fire Charge (MAX)
20 Ice Charge (MAX)
20 Lightning Charge (MAX)
20 Combat Orders (MAX)
10 Restoration (MAX)
11 Magic Crash (Recommended)/Iron Body/Ground Smash

Reason :
Okay, this one is a bit different than pre-Big Bang. Pre-Big Bang, everything was focused around maxing your charges first. However, now, I would suggest work on getting 6 points in all charges for the time. Of course you should get all three charges for versatility and for the stack effect, the added power, and the elemental weaknesses some monsters may have. Once you have those 6 points allocated to all charges, at least one point in Restoration would be really nice. It saves on potions if used right. However, that is purely optional. You don't necessarily need it so early, but it's nice to have. After that, proceed to max Charge Blow. Charge Blow is different than pre-Big Bang in the fact that it no longer cancels your charges. Your charges remain intact 100% of the time you use Charge Bow. This, of course, is the skill that replaces Ground Smash. It does a lot more damage and hits more mobs. So, Charge Blow as soon as possible in third job is a must. After that, you will want to max out Fire Charge, as it's the strongest charge in third job. Not only that, but most monsters you will find will be weak to fire, or at least, at that level they will be. After Fire Charge is maxed, proceed to max Lightning Charge because of the stack effect. It will help with damage and maybe you will find a few lightning-weak monsters to train on around those levels. Ice Charge will be last. It's not too needed at these levels, due to the damage reductions from monsters, the high defense Paladins have, and the Restoration skill that heals you so easily. After all three charges are maxed, you will want to max Restoration. Restoration is very good. It has a very short cool down time and it recovers most of your HP in a single instant. It's almost a replacement for HP potions. Of course, it won't be in all situations. After Restoration is maxed, work on Combat Orders. I didn't tell you to get Combat Orders soon because it's not really too useful in third job. The points you would have used on it could have done the same thing for any other skill. It doesn't go over the max level of skills for any skill except the ones in fourth job, so there was no real point in maxing Combat Orders so soon. After you have Combat Orders maxed, work on Shield Mastery. Shield Mastery will be very helpful if you're a one-handed weapon user, as it adds more defense to your shield, which will help reduce the damage you take. Afer that's maxed, dump the final eleven extra SP into Magic Crash, Iron Body, or Ground Smash. Any of them are fine. I would suggest going with Magic Crash over the other two, since the effect it causes to bosses will be really desired. If you don't want to go that path, however, go with Iron Body, since the defense it gives will be beneficial in the end.

Level 70 : +1 Fire Charge
Level 71 : +3 Fire Charge
Level 72 : +2 Fire Charge (6), +1 Lightning Charge

Level 113 : +3 Shield Mastery
Level 114 : +3 Shield Mastery (18)
Level 115 : +3 Magic Crash
Level 116 : +3 Magic Crash
Level 117 : +3 Magic Crash
Level 118 : +3 Magic Crash
Level 119 : +3 Magic Crash
Level 120 : +3 Magic Crash (18)

Result :
18 Shield Mastery
30 Charge Blow (MAX)
19 Fire Charge
19 Ice Charge
19 Lightning Charge
20 Combat Orders (MAX)
8 Restoration
18 Magic Crash

Reason :
Self explanatory; you get skills to 19 or 18 for the fact that Combat Orders adds +2 to all skills EXCEPT itself. Also, you will need 30 points in Charge Blow due to the fact that Combat Orders does NOT affect prerequisites for later skills (Advanced Charge Blow). The rest of the build is the same as before.


Fourth job will not be a part of this guide. The fourth job builds always vary on what skill books you're able to get your hands on and some things are controversial, so I'll leave it to you to figure out.

Advanced Charge Blow has changed after the Big Bang. Instead of being an enhancement to Charge Blow and getting rid of the charge killing effect, it now not only increases the damage dealt with the skill, but it also adds mastery as long as you have a charge active.


Thank you for reading my guide.

Credits go to ShiKage and Polantaris. Thank you, Polantaris, for your helpful insight in helping me with this build.





Disclaimer about the 3rd job build : The level six charge option is completely optional. I would strongly recommend getting fire charge first for the power. There's really no reason for you to have a specific charge at that level, but the damage from the fire charge is higher than what you'll get with the other two. Also, some people recommend going for max Magic Crash rather than Shield Mastery or sacrificing another skill for it. It's extremely useful for bossing, so I recommend going for what you think is the best for you.

Please notify me if I've made a mistake somewhere. Thank you.

 

The Ultimate Mechanic (4th job) PVP guide!

Warning: This is a guide in making. I will include more information and might include pictures when I have the time.

Ok so, welcome to the ultimate Mechanic (4th job) PVP guide! Like most of you know, mechanics can troll a lot in PVP if you do it right. Here's how to maximize your points during the PVP matches, mostly in free for all.

1. Getting started

The first step in becoming a good PVPer, for all jobs, is the equips. Choose equipments who have a lot of attack and main stats (don't try to get potential stats unless you are going for 180+ PVP). Also, be sure that you can wear all of your equipments without needing the potential stats since they get negated in PVP (except 180+).
The first skills to get as a 4th job PVPer are extreme mech, missile tank and laser blast/maple warrior. You won't need amplifier since you're not really gonna stay in the same place, but you can always go for a normal build.

2. Basic strategies

- Stay on your tank all the time during PVP. Trying to use the normal prototype is pointless and will only make you fail.

- Use the normal attack on your tank most of the time and jump around while using it. Use laser blast every time the cooldown refresh. Try to hit as many ennemies as possible with it!

- Use siege mode when you're sure you're far from the other melee classes and that the ranged classes can't hit you. Be careful for fast moving characters (mages,thieves). In team battle, you can hide behind your comrades to do a maximum of damage!

- Pick every item you see except for the question mark boxes. Never go out of your way to pick anything except life potions. Since you can't climb ropes, try using rocket jump as a shortcut!

-If you have the feeling you're getting hit too much, jump away from the crowd and try to recover some life. Use the healing bot if needed (see advanced strategies).

-Never try to kill a warrior class except if his hp bar is really low.

3. Advanced strategies

If you think you mastered the basics, try out those!

- Try to evaluate your damage and the hp of your foes. After some minutes of playing with the same persons, you will know when you can go into siege mode and destroy someone before he kills you.

- Use your mech dash to move faster and behind your ennemies.

- If there is 2 layers of a platform, you are always better off on the bottom layer (on the top layer, you miss your foes most of the time if they're on the bottom one).

- Try to combo low hp foes to kill them. If they run, use laser blast to finish em off!

- Your healing bot is a precious allie. Set it up on the platform you will be during most of the match. Alternatively, put it far away from the other players and escape there to peacefully recover hp.


Thanks for reading this guide. I will update it regulary as I discover more tricks.

Welcome to GO . What are you searching for?

 

Welcome to GO .

 

Welcome to GO .

 

I will help .

 

For PC gaming, do you prefer to have digital copies (like Steam or Origin) or the actual CD/DVD (like what a lot of Blizzard games are known for).

Like I suppose there is a "risk" to the actual CD/DVD. You can lose it or it can get scratched or something and then you're SOL.

However personally for me I prefer them to downloading games with Steam. I mean, I buy a lot of games on Steam obviously (think after the holiday sale I hit over 100 lol ) but there's something really annoying with them- the download time. I hate having to leave my computer on overnight for like 2 days in a row. I have a really bad internet connection and Verizon FIOS (which we've been trying to get for 3 years now) isn't available in my area. So let's say like Fallout New Vegas which I really like, was about 9-10 GBs with all of the DLC. That was like a 3 day process between going to sleep at 12 and waking up at 5. And my connection is so bad that I can't run it during the day because my mom works on the computer and needs it and downloading from Steam slows down all internet connections in the house to a crawl.

Obviously there's an inconvenience with CD/DVDs because a lot of times you may need to have the disc in the computer when you wanna play but for me it's something I'd deal with. Unfortunately most places (I believe my local Gamestop among them) don't carry the physical discs anymore and have moved over to digital downloads... yet another reason I love Blizzard- I have the battle chests for Starcraft, Warcraft III, and WoW. Looking into Diablo as well (never played it before so I'm excited! )

Anyway what are your guys' feelings- physical disc or digital download?

 

Yeah I forgot to mention that... I like looking at my game library too.

And I meant for major games for the thread. I don't really want to have a CD/DVD for every indie game I've ever owned. Too many. But for like Fallout, Half-Life, Call of Duty, etc. I would take the physical disc.
