RED update thoughts and feedback

Aww lame, the Sweetwater accessories don't count towards the set bonus. :(

It would be ridiculous if they did.

cRA Set + Tyrants + Dojo Gloves + Superior Gollux Set (2 pendants, no belt) + 4-set Sweetwater (Eye/Face/Shoulder/Ring)

[Evolite]

Those scrolls are for scrolling the new 160 stuff only. From top to bottom: accessory, armor, 1h wep, 2h wep.

Are you sure that you can get the set bonus from equipping two of the same pendant?

Yeah, It was possible for the Alien set as well (the level 180 one). It's how people could get a 4-set effect without the super-rare Hat.

Does the new crit ring stack with the old one? If so, totes putting that on my DB / Newfangled Shad / NL if I feel like it SO MANY CHOICES AVAILABLE

I do wish the Adventure Critical Ring event lasted a bit longer. I work for Amazon and it's almost Christmas, so I'm having to work 50-60 hour weeks. :( Hopefully I'll have time after work to level my character to 130...

Sad I'm missing out on such much at the moment. Tried updating MS last night but too many people were raping the bandwidth WoW.

Miss training my shadower so much

So.... I haven't really played MapleStory seriously in quite a while (last time I really gave a damn was when Phantom came out and it was the beez kneez) and my Kanna that I haven't touched in a couple of months recently became extremely fun to play and Snipers are really fun. It's starting to get into my life again. It needs to stop. But I don't want it to stop, it's such a good feeling but it's so bad at the same time. SAVE ME! :<

This is the worst part: I feel obligated to buy NX for 2x coupons so I can get my Sniper to a 130 Marksman for the ring (which will, be my second highest level character; my Phantom being the first one at 13x). According to the Review Purchases portion of the website, the last time I bought NX myself (not gifts from friend/MTS/yada yada) was Feb. 22, 2011. God dammn that was a long long time ago.

MAPLESTORY IS STARTING TO (ONCE AGAIN) EAT MY SOUL.
HELP. save me

You really don't need to buy any 2x at all. It is ridiculously easy to level up now. Here's what you do, most of this works for every class give or take a couple level differences with Tot's know how.
1-30 do the job quests and/or train at golems in hennesys.
30-35 Tot's free levels, if not mush king/elliniel theme dungeon
35-46 CD's at Kerning Square, go to gold beach at level 40 and just train at a map, don't do the quests
46-50 Tot's free levels
50-58 - Ludi pq, about 2 pq's a level takes around 3-4 min per pq.
58-61 - Tot's free levels giving you a free 1.5x coupon for four hours
61-70 - Do netts pyramid pq 5 times, with 1.5x coupon
70-92 - using 1.5x coupon still, grab the daily 2x coupon from the event and do monster park extreme 3 times, it's about 18-22 levels in 30 minutes on 3x.
After that just train anywhere to 100, continuing with MPE/Nett's pq or where ever else is good.
Once you hit 100 just go to evo world and with the free daily 2x coupons MPE.

Getting up to 100 took me about 5-6 hours of gameplay on 2 separate characters since the patch. I did 100-130 in about 2 and a half hours utilizing the free 2x coupons and the 2x event from this past weekend. Absolutely no need to buy NX at all. Even if you can only play for an hour at the most a day, you should be able to hit 130 on one character before the 31st without any problems.

I really don't think you should accept that free coupon that you get during

58-61 - Tot's free levels giving you a free 1.5x coupon for four hours

I always save it for when I can start doing Evo World or DiPQ.

The picture in @Razmos;' post, from the shop, does show the stuff you can buy. The first two scrolls are the accessory scroll and armour scroll, and the last two are for 1H and 2H weapons respectively.

I always save it for when I can start doing Evo World or DiPQ.

I use it right away to rush through 60-90 (Or higher during double EXP events.), do the Heliseum quest chain for 90-98, use the Sakura Castle card set completion EXP to skip to 100, and skip right to Evolving World for 100-120. (Or in the case of my I/L Archmage, 130.)

Of course, if you intend on going higher than 120/130, then yeah, you should save it for your first 10 Dimension Invasion runs.

I believe, in linguistics, it's just referred to as a counter, at least, in Japanese, or a measure word.

Anyway, from what I've heard (but I haven't really checked for myself, so this is purely hearsay), they nerfed the accessories in CMST086 (for reference, Commerci was released in CMST085), such that all they give now is DEF, except for like one or two of them which still give All Stats +2. I'm not sure why, I mean, even with the all stats, they weren't really anything to get excited about, and now they're even worse.

Can those accessories get potential? If so, that would be the only draw. They would be Tier 4 potential bait.

Yeah, they can be potentialed.

anyone else experiencing random DC's? I've managed to DC 4-5 times in the last 30 minutes on my new gunslinger .__. I have no idea what's causing it cause I was fine all day today.

I was leveling my cleric from 1-45 in the past few hours and didn't DC once. I logged off ~15 minutes ago.
