To anyone who had the balls to make a perma begginer

[PieM4ster]

How long does it take you to level on average? I'm assuming its an absurd amount of time, but I've always wanted to know.

[Hazzy]

I made an Islander, which is a lot slower than an Off Island Perma. He gets in the margin of 1-3% an hour at level 42. ._.

If you do go and make a Perma Beginner, I suggest staying on Maple Island until your high teens or early twenties, unless you're a PQ addict.

[Cardboardsnail]

I made a level 23 permabeginner before
I was getting something around 20% an hour

Lack of skills was kinda boring though

Yea, it will get boring fast if you don't have friends. I got into a guild in my first week, and that's how I managed to play an Islander for around a year.

Having friends has it's downsides

It can get a bit frustrating how you level so much slower than they do

[Bws2cool]

It depeneds on if you are PQing, training, or leaching.

One person got tons of lvls quick from 30-40 using CPQ with their friends.

Training is sort of hard cause at lvl 30 you do about as much dmg as a lvl 20 warrior is doing ;)

Once beginners get to 70 half of them start leaching off their friends.. Its sad.

When I said "friends", I meant other beginners. My Islander was in an All Islander guild, and I still, 17 months after making my Islander, visit the Island Forums on a daily basis. :P

Oh, I see.

That would be fun

[PieM4ster]

Wow 1-3% An hour. Always wanted to know that... but that is absurd.

Yeah Roses is not exaggerating, I make 2.5% an hour if I am lucky with my level 43 Islander.

'Tis 'cause you're slow. :D
Off-Island Beginners are like what... 1-50 in 5 days, if that?

[Brandini]

Tryst do you really want to argue about that again. >.>

Im not slow, I just don't enjoy grinding for hours. 2.5% is a lot for someone in our maps.

Off-Islanders can level fast due to more weapons, strongers monsters and more importantly PQ.

[Hazzy]

Wow 1-3% An hour. Always wanted to know that... but that is absurd.

Keep in mind this is a Dexless build training on Mushrooms and Snails.

1-3% comes out to being 3,569 ~ 10,707 experience, which cPQ can surpass in ten minutes. Heck, Henesys PQ, if finished in exactly 10 minutes, gets around that same experience an hour.

[Cardboardsnail]

That must...suck

Why go dexless though? Beginners aren't known for their damage

[Brandini]

Roses made his character before I began advertising dex islanders and making fun of the strength builders.

Most new islanders go for the strength build since its the logical choice but the older beginners make dex islanders now when they remake an Islander.

[Hazzy]

Why not? It's impossible to miss on an Orange Mushroom... unless they changed the avoid. o_0
(Snail shells is exempted)

Uh.... On Migrant, I easily get 25% an hour, that's ~24k exp - and thats without 'grinding', that's just training at ease.

Maybe its because you are level 30 and only need 95,700 exp to level but roses needs more than 3x exp than you need to level.

[wobbufet]

It's not hard to 1hko orange mushrooms, so they prefer to have a high minimum damage.

[Migrant]

That wouldn't affect how much exp either of us get per hour o.o;
If I get ~24k per hour, how does he only get ~10k per hour?

[Brandini]

Nevermind, I thought you were comparing the %, not the raw exp.

[Hazzy]

It's not hard to 1hko orange mushrooms, so they prefer to have a high minimum damage.

My range is something like 35 ~ 550. Not killing them in a hit isn't a common occurrence. Add in the fact that when I do hit below 80, it might be on a Snail or stump, all of which have 40 or less HP.

o_o
24k? Wtf?
Well, my test were before the updates to Maple Island, and I didn't use any speed boost. o_o

Maple Umbrella > You :(

Someone is an umbrellaphiliac.

*Looks at migrant's siggy*

o_o

[Brandini]

I am sure theres a pill to cure that condition.

[JoshKun]

Islanders are pointless now. MTS has defeated their purpose.

[Brandini]

Our purpose to is to stay on the Island isolated.

All MTS has done is making training slightly faster for the lower levels.

[Bws2cool]

Islanders are pointless now. MTS has defeated their purpose.

MTS did kill half the islanders but think of the name "Islanders"

It is people who stay on the island. It doesnt matter what we use.

Just as long as we are on the island :D

[xLeviathan]

I don't imagine MTS would kill Islanders, is it really such a big deal what equipment you use?

I would think it would make being an Islander more competitive.

[Cardboardsnail]

Who cares about your equips on Maple Island? There's a certain point where you one hit kill everything anyway

[Hazzy]

I would think it would make being an Islander more competitive.

It's not the fact that Islanders can now wear Orange Shirts and skiis, it's more to do with the fact that finding a scroll on Island isn't worth nearly as much as it use to be. Hunting Equips isn't an effective way to get gear. <_<

[Migrant]

I don't get why Islanders use MTS. It totally defeats the point. Hunting for scrolls, better equips, collectable ETC and USE items are what makes an Islander a fun class to be. People who use MTS don't have to hunt for anything; they may just as well leave the Island altogether..

[Brandini]

Defeats the point? I thought the point of an islander was to stay on the island isolated and train on weak monsters. I never thought it had anything to do with what you whacked the snail with.

[Hero]

I don't see why islanders shouldn't use MTS. You can "hunt for stuff" off-island aswell, but some people choose not to because some people don't like the bad droprates gMS has.

Well unless you only play your Islander for levelling up, which I don't, you wouldn't see what I meant.

[Brandini]

Islanders shouldn't train to level.

[Migrant]

Islanders shouldn't train to level.

I don't train at all really. I hunt for better equips, and after a while I level.
Well obviously I do train, but I don't train for exp.

I train for events and because I enjoy it, thats why I don't level fast.

What exact better equips are you hunting for now?

[EndlessAxis]

hmm so far getting my beginner ( off islander ) to 30 for pirates seams like a joke but meh idc i'll see and write about my adventures XD

[Kranzorbaken]

10-30 is the easiest part of being a beginner.
even till 50 now if you have good friends...
and even till 70 if you have REALLY GOOD friends.
Not saying that i made it.
Mines still at 35.

[Migrant]

Better Purse. White Bandana. Brown Skullcap. 6 DEF Green Headband -.- etc...
