Spoon fed baby caveman here, just wanted to say thanks for all the videos on Maplestory. I tried to “pull up” to tell you on twitch, but couldn’t get through all the ads. So I figured I’d say it here, thanks man.
my first 20 to 21 is CRA pant and you know what it booms on the first try lmao since then I've been settled on 20 stars on all of my gears and my long-term plan is bring all of my equipment to 20 stars before tapping them all to 21, then 22 I don't have many resources and my cp is not very high (I am barely able to solo HLoDa) so I can't boom 1 single piece or else I can't solo them anymore
Really nice to see you telling people to settle at 21 instead of the usual send it to 22 most people say. The 22 or trace mentality a lot of mappers have is so annoying
Awesome videos man, I've only got enough to (hopefully) 21 a CRA piece this SSF but I'll keep all of this in mind the next time this event rolls around.
1 of the main factor for 21 is that you can get twice as many pieces to 21 than you would get at 22.....10 pieces at 21 > 5 pieces at 22.....huge power difference be settling for 1 star lower while simultaneously powering up everything
Thanks for the video, Duky!When do I safeguard an item? For instance, if u boom the superior ring from 20 to 21, u go back to 12, right? And for the belt is even more confusing to me. I boom, I am back to 12 then should take PB belt to 21 again to transfer?
I hit 3 dreamy belts & 1 ET booms 😔 Love your point about not hitting 22 when it doesn’t change the bosses i’m already clearing, helping me cope lmao. All good tho, I got lucky last ssf, just part of the game. You win some you lose some
It's crazy that I am giga unlucky and I really don't fit the criteria you're putting forward. I only SF on Events, I only go for tier ups on events, I am very careful with my gear and don't follow the stupid mantra of "22 or trace". I only do things when I have back ups, when I have enough meso for what the SF or Cube calculator says the high end outliers will be, and I have quite literally beaten those curves by a lot. MathBro's Cubing Calculator says 2 Line Drop is 95% Chance with 56,846,700,000 meso and I spent over 85b and I never saw two line drop. I didn't even see 2 Line hybrid. Spent over 150b on CRA gear, carefully using the roulette method to get to 22*. If you look, it's about 35b a piece. So like yeah, there are genuinely giga unlucky people, I'm one of them, but I stay grinding and hopeful that one day, I'll hit the curve and I'll be so unbelievably lucky that it balances out if you put it on a chart. This isn't copium, I swear.
If my gear is generally just 15-17 star, how do i get up to 21 star safely? Are there any tips and tricks for that? Or is it just straight tapping during events til you reach it? Arcane Gear and Sup. Gollux gear. Should I be safeguarding the arcane and sup gollux accessories?
Tap CRA to 20 one piece at time, for Gollux, if you don't have coins for spares, you could tap a lvl 140 gear to 21 then transfer to sup Gollux and settle at 20
@@IIEstevaoxII How does that spares thing work? If I boom, I use the clean spare to revive it, but do the stars remain the same, or do the stars start all over? For example, I boom 17 star to 18, will it stay at 17 star after I revive it?
"22 or trace" culture is like a streamer virus. It's fun to watch someone boom or hit 22s on stream but this has probably ruined a lot of new player progression. The "22 or trace" peer pressure from the community has lowkey probably caused more players to quit because they don't end up hitting. It's not the streamer's fault because they're probably at a point in their progression where it really is 22 or trace, but like Duky says so many baby viewers nowhere near that level of progression are probably griefing themselves trying to copy them.
I personally never safeguard unless I’m just trying to stop a mule at 17 stars and don’t want to get spares, or if I boomed all my spares and just wanna bring it back to 17
With that many spares, yeah you should be fine to not guard for 21s (imo you should guard anyways and just go for 22s with that many spares, the meso is worth less than the arcane dupes)
I'd rather hope nexon takes the suggestion someone made that starforce should have an option that ensures a 100 percent chance of upgrading your equipment, but at 7-10 times the original starforce cost up to 20 stars. I believe ms2 did something similar to that.
I wouldn't mind if they increase the meso cost or even lower the success rate, but the thing that they should revome is booming, that is the cancer of the game
0:30 How dare you spy on me and tell everyone exactly what I did! Jokes aside, I kinda don't trust that calculator because 2 SSFs ago I dumped 10b and didn't get a single 20* CRA...
25 or so booms and well over 20b meso trying to get my cra top to 22 it was an annoying shining event for me that time i got alot of other items to 22 tho including a ET so i couldnt really complain
From my experience, it is very enough. But still your luck might run out. 21 cra is about 5bil a piece. You even might get it on multiple characters. Good luck
@@LittleJinsoyun welcome to maple bro, hahaha. At 15 and 20 stars you are safe from downgrading, but ur not safe from booming except at 15-17 if you safeguard
how about to increase each equipment by +1* ? like Hat 18* then Top 18* then Bottom 18* then you go on 19* 19* 19* then 20* 20* 20* ( Maximum ) What do you think ☠?
Statistically, you have enough money (I'm assuming spares aren't a problem here since it's cra) to get at least 2 of your CRA to 22. But there might be cheaper gains elsewhere (getting 18 on all your other items, etc), instead of brute forcing 22 stars. I would definitely get them all to 21, since it's so cheap, then see where else you can get gains from (getting 21 on your superior gollux with spares; 17 > 19 on your other equips with spares, etc) before I even think about 22 CRA. That's just my opinion though. At the end of the day, it's your money.
any professional maplers in the comments section know if safeguarding or no? got 4 dom pendants, 1 sup gollux pendant 1 KT 3 sup gollux belt and heaps of reinforces would you safeguard any or maybe straight tap the sup belt cus i got 3? new player btw thanks for awesome video !
For gollux belt/earrings you can tap the reinforced belt/earrings to 21/22 and then transfer it to your sup and either settle at 21/20 or go for 22. For gollux pendant u can use dom pendants to transfer and for gollux ring , u use KTs or meister rings to transfer :)
The sup spares are for if it booms going from 21/20 -> 22. Pendant and ring are harder because u need the coins to get spares so u have to keeo doing gollux runs for a bit haha
Me as a mid-late game player who saved 100bil since the last ssf, boomed most of my spares from 16-19 and only got my slime ring to 22*, Starforce system sucks man, no one likes it
It's true 90% of the time I have quit this game is because of the bullsht rates, like jfc I'll just be trying to toss some 70% scrolls on an alt and have 9 out of 10 fail and it's fk off Nexon. Reg server will probably be a flop for me but I haven't played reboot since Sengoku High so I only have gains for reboot since all my gear is 10 to 12 star tops.
@@fabuloushostess6171 Yeah the rates are nothing more then a number the post on your screen. I've been playing this game since 2006 and it's bs. Wouldn't put it passed me to think that Nexon probably has a system where you have to spend a certain amount of mesos before it starts paying out. They do have a patent that decreases rates of gacha items if they are paying out too often afterall.

Is it good strat to starforce reinforced items to 21 and then transfer to sup for 20sf ?
Only for belt and earrings. Pendent use dominator and ring use kanna treasure. Get them to 22 then transfer. Wait till you have lots of spares

Had reinforced gollux earrings at 21, got greedy and tried to tap to 22. boomed. Then I was too broke to start over. Should have settled lol.
