The Alchemist

[silverquiver]

So here is my apparently not-so-lame attempt at creating a job. I always wanted an Alchemist job in MapleStory so a few months ago I began editing sprites in paint. I don't know if I'll ever be finished working on these but here is my progress so far.


The Alchemist
By: SilverQuiver
http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w242/silverquiver/alchemistex.jpg
The alchemist uses the elements to attack enemies. By using INT and LUK, the alchemist has a variety of element based skills. Their weapon of choice is a glove with alchemic circles drawn on it. They wear goggles as hats and overalls (much like pirates, uni-sex and uni-color).


Jobs
First Job- Alchemist
Second Job- Ice Synthesist, Fire Synthesist, Lightning Synthesist
Third Job- Ice <insert name here>, Fire <insert name here>, Lightning <insert name here> (give me suggestions please)
Fourth Job- Ice Philosopher, Fire Philosopher, Lightning Philosopher
Here are the skills, I am only going to add skills that I came up with myself.

Well thats it for now! I'm still working on these so stay tuned! :cool:
All images were created or edited by me in Paint. :f3:
I'd love to hear any suggestions. :f2:
Credit to Tykian for the idea of Armor Coat.

EDIT: Made text color coded for easier understanding.
EDIT 2: Finished Homunculus and Chimera skills.
EDIT 3: Added two new skills and changed the holy blast skill.
EDIT 4: Added three new skills that the Homunculus can use and a new second job skill.

Reserved because this is a work in progress.

[randompeep]

This is not a lame attempt; some of the art is actually pretty good. Just know that homunculus already exist within Magatia.

Thank you!
Yeah, I was thinking of taking the homunculus skill out because it didn't really fit in. It seems like a mage using super transformation. For now I am going to keep it up there and try to come up with better skills.

[JezzaRules]

As she said, that attempt is DEFINATELY not what I call lame, it's actually one of the best drawn images I've seen in this forum. I reckon more ideas in skills are needed but overall well done :f2:!

Thank you! I take a lot of pride in my art, I didn't know I did that well though. :cool:

Wow that is so not a lame attemp :O all the skills look cool. :heart:

Oh nuuuz! Recolored Shinobi Bracer!

Any idea on what the clothes (not the weapons) would be like?

[silverquiver]

Oh nuuuz! Recolored Shinobi Bracer!

I am actually dissapointed in myself for making so many recolors BUT I will certainly be making more original things in the future.
Overalls range in looks from medieval full body robes to more modern coats and cloaks.
Shoes will be simple and not too colorful unless it is required to match the overall.
Hats are goggles, some will cover the eyes and some will not.
Gloves will mostly cover the wrist area because the Alchemist's weapon dominates his hands.
Thats about as much though as I've put into that area.


Maplers have long anted to become more powerful after reaching level 200. However, this is not humanly possible. However, it is possible for other creatures. By using ancient magic, at level 200 characters can obtain the skill "Dragon Transform," which turns their avatar into a human-like dragon he same size as a regular avatar. In this form, the character gets +20% HP and MP, +10% to all stats (stacks with Maple Warrior) +10 WA, +20 MA (stacks with skills+pots) and +50 to all other stats. Each job can also use a new skill while in this form, with the theme of dragon attacks.

After this skill is obtained, the level cap is raised to 300, the exp needed is reduced back to 5 million, but the player also recieves only 20% of the exp.

Each job has 5 new skills, each with a max level of 60. the amount of skill points needed to max these skills is huge because the skills are extremely powerful.

Sorry that I don't have any specific skills or designs, I just imagined this up last night.

If you have any extra ideas, say them and if they're good I'll add them :D

That is a very interesting idea. You should make a topic on this idea and elaborate further.

I thought I did make a new thread. Hit new post by mistake. >_>

So you can go ahead and un-quote me :D

[silverquiver]

Finished coloring the Chimera and added the skill icon for both Chimera and Homunculus.

[Blankout]

I like the fact that there are many pictures. It takes effort to come up with ideas, but takes even more effort to actually show what you're creating.

[NoWaizMatt]

The picture for Chimera looks amazing.

[sosyoav]

i think its a good idea and you did great job,
just take it more to the potion direction

[silverquiver]

Thanks for all the wonderful feedback guys!

I was thinking the exact same thing. I thought of a skill that is much like the alchemist skill that hermits get to improve pot consumption but to be used by alchemists as a party skill.

[Tykian]

was thinking maybe you could add like:

Armor coat: Consumes mineral ores to shield the user. (the first ore in the etc would be used, this includes all non-jewel ores, as well as lidium (orihalcon, silver, adamantium, steel, gold, bronze)
Level 1: 10 mp, Consumes 1 ore, Gains 30 weapon defence, 15 magic defence, and 1% resistance to all elements for 60 seconds.

Level 10: 22 mp, Consumes 2 ores, Gains 60 weapon defence, 30 magic defence, and 5% resistance to all elements for 120 seconds.

Level 20: 34 mp, Consumes 3 ores, Gains 120 weapon defence, 60 magic defence, and 10% resistance to all elements for 180 seconds.

It would be a 1st job buff. The buff in itself is somewhat useful at all levels,and even from the start. The defence is more useful in the early game, and the elemental resistance makes the skill worthwhile in later jobs, even to 4th. I think it follows the "alchemist" job title well, and may raise the worth of some ores a bit, while not being overly expensive or cumbersome.

I like the idea, I might even use this with the stats tweaked a bit but I will give all credit to you. A skill that could partner with this might be something called Mining that would increase the drop rate of ores.

[Tykian]

I'd actually though about that, but when I did, I was thinking more of a 5-10 SP skill that passively increases the job chances over ores. Giving it 10 SP max would look something like:

Level 1: 2% better chance slain monsters will drop ores.
Level 10: 20% better chance slain monsters will drop ores.

Of course ores would still be limited to the monsters drop table.

That sounds really good, I'll update later tonight or tomorrow with some of this information.

[silverquiver]

Just updated again. Added two new skills including Armor Coat and another called Alchemist based off of the 3rd job skill for Hermits which I have turned into a party buff. Also I changed the look of Holy Blast because I wasn't satisfied with how much it looked like a side-ways Genesis.
Enjoy~!

[randompeep]

Is Armor Coat a buff, and how long does it last?

[silverquiver]

Yes it is a buff and I decided to make it a lot like Iron Body so it has +40 weapon def. added and lasts 300 seconds at max.

[Chompy]

What if they broke the mold and-
Had class gloves as their primary "weapon/stat adder" and common class equips as their secondary?
I dunno how good or bad that would affect them but if INT was primary and Matt was too- then they would not be too bad off.
....
Maybe include more elements to all jobs-
Like the holy blast or an upgraded poison move for 2nd/3rd job.
...
Also I'd argue for a new system of Accuracy that was based solely on LUK that way statless builds would be really tough.:glitter:

To be honest I didn't want to go too out of the ordinary. I wanted to keep this class as realistic as possible. (seeing as most other made up classes have ridiculous skills with ridiculous stats)
And I'll definetely be adding more elemental moves. I'm working on a few Homunculus moves at the moment (having trouble with the skill icons, any help would be much appreciated... I need something that looks like explosions of ice, fire, and electricity) but I'll look into more poison and holy based skills.

[Vovez]

hey i was wondering if you can help me making some icons for the job im making?

[silverquiver]

Judging from your signature, you have impeccable skills in pixel art and I don't know why you need my help. :cool: Nonetheless I would be happy to help.

[silverquiver]

Added 4 new skills. Three of which are skills that can be used when in the Homunculus state. The other is a second job skill that can increase the chance that ores will drop from any monster.

[UnknownPower]

Lol, this skill sounds kinda dumb, but I wanna post it anyways! If you do like it, then hooray! :cool:
If you don't, then oh well! Always more ideas to brainstorm for. :f2:
Well, here goes!

For 3rd of 4th Job Use (Your choice :f2:): Metal Shifter
Effect: Turns any ore of a mineral or jewel directly into mesos.

Level 1: Shifts up to 1 ore at a time; Mesos gained: 50% of NPC sale price; 30% Success rate

Level 10: Shifts up to 4 ores at a time; Mesos gained: 125% of NPC sale price; 60% Success rate

Level 20: Shifts up to 7 ores at a time; Mesos gained: 200% of NPC sale price; 90% Success rate

Hope you enjoy it! If not, oh well! I'll try harder next time. Later, person! :cool:

Then wouldn't you be better off NPCing it anyway? That's guarenteed, after all. :/

[Kigaz]

Alchemists would be great besides the fact you have to use ores/minerals, so I've got an idea: instead of having to use steel ores,etc; there should be like "ore pots": ores you can buy at pot shops.

I like the idea. But because alchemists need ores more often than not, what if this skill was backwards? They can turn mesos into ores!
Might be pretty interesting.

Hmmm... that could work. Sort of like adding something that is like a summoning rock or magic rock. An item to support skills.
I'll think about it though I might not use the exact idea.

Keep giving me ideas, if I like it enough I'll post it up in the next update and give you credit!

[silverquiver]

I might seem like an ass for bumping this, but I'm doing it for great justice!
