Alright. I plan on getting a Chinchilla soon. Perhaps 2, so the other won't get lonely. I have some leftover Birthday money and planned on spending whatever I have left on getting what I need. I watched some videos, and read some information on what's needed and how to maintain them.
Now, to the point of the thread. I'd like some advice and perhaps the costs of purchasing and maintains Chinchillas. I don't know for a fact if Fiel & Willow own any, but It seems safe to assume that they do. o_o
2nd Gen aka the old Conspiracy is now selling Horntail pendants! We've changed our name but the people behind the runs remain the same! No this does not include eggs at the moment, however since there are no eggs the price is significantly reduced!
What is a Horntail Pendant?
The pendant is an equip which goes over your pendant slot (obviously) and takes up no additonal slots. Think of it as another zakum helmet! The average (important) stats for a Horntail pendant are 7 Str, 7 Dex, 7 Int, 7 Luk. They also provide an incredible amount of defense, magic defense, and avoid. There's absolutely no downside to this pendant! Plus, it comes with three slots which can be upgraded (however currently GMS allows that only one can be upgraded) via an egg looted from killing Horntail. Currently we are not releasing the egg for sale as most of our runners are still in the process of looting them. Do not fret through, eggs will come soon, and when they do, we will offer separate rates for those with pendants but no egg and those with neither pendant nor egg, so there is no problem with receiving a pendnant early. Get those stats you always wanted today!
Current Rates: 230mil - Pendant, NO Egg
Currently we must require, similar to zakum runs, that a trusted member runs on your account (this is for our safety, not yours). We can assure there will be no scamming of any sort, as we have pendanted a number of characters already.
Requirements and what must be ready in order to purchase your pendant:
-Must be level 120+
-No HP requirement
-War of the Dragons/The Medicine for the Secret Transformation quest is ACTIVATED, NOT COMPLETED
-Cornian's Dagger (obtained via 1 Mithril and 1 Steel Plate and 1 Rusted Dagger from Cornians and refined in Leafre)
-1 Cornian's Marrow from Cornians
-1 Skull Shoulderpad from Cornians
-1 Manon's Cry from Manon
-10 Dragon Skins from Wyverns of any color
-Note that most of these items can only be collected once the quest is activated.
-The Horntail party quest does NOT have to be completed.
-The Hero's Will quest does NOT have to be completed.
Once you have fulfilled the above requirements, you are ready to obtain your new Horntail pendant! Additionally, if you need help completing some parts of these quests, contact Bawble or Mollypop in order to work out solution.
Contact for Payment and/or More Information:
-Hirone2x, 15x Drk
-Bawble, 18x Drk
-Mollypop, 18x I/L Archmage
-You can also post here and we will contact you.
If you have any questions, feel free to post here! Good luck!

You can charge it while moving at full speed, and you can even jump. So between mobs its easy to charge up

[COLOR="Blue"]Little story:
Recently, my laptop has been making some strange buzzing noise that would go on and off every 5 seconds or so.
After checking every part of the outer laptop, I noticed that the source was coming from the fan.
My only thought? Clean the Fan! However, cleaning the fan from the outside didn't appear to work.
What was I left to do? Find my way through the laptop to be able to clean the fan.
This has been my first time opening up a laptop (God, Desktops are 100% easier to handle <_<).
My laptop:
And now, the fun part begins! Not everything was shot, but here are the main details of my experience.
The best part was putting it back together. I had to put it back and take it apart 3 times because I screwed off too many screws from the wrong places ._.
Moral of the story: If you have an overheating problem or fan related troubles, prepare to take a long time solving a puzzle inside your laptop.
If you can't solve it or if you incorrectly solve it, you may result with a non-working laptop.
Take your time and keep track of everything (mainly screws).
Approach with caution, or approach someone with experience.
WandererWillow Wrote:1 and 2) Someone makes their own pre-patcher? Good for them. Now lets see them continue to make it. Go through and decrypt everything. Learn the new encryptions. Take hours and hours to figure out how to do it. It isnt a 5 minute process, it takes alot of time and hard work to get it going. Someone else wants to dedicate time, fine. Only a few that I can think of (the list is very short) have that time and patience. So people can post about how to make a pre-patcher, or how to decrypt everything, but the time it takes to do it would just be too difficult for many, as it is continually changing.
I have done exactly that. It involves no decryption. It was quite easy to make. Nor is it continually changing; this script should work without modification for future versions of Maple.
[COLOR="Red"]EDIT 4/7/09: FTP stuff changed so the script is broken, I'll fix it when I have time.
EDIT again: Fixed. New version can take an optional command-line parameter saying which version to download in case the autodetection stops working. Example usage: easy_prepatcher 00070[/color]
UPDATE: I have made a new version. Now you don't even have to download the patch files from the ftp, the script will download them for you. All you have to do is run the program, and it will get the files it needs and create the patcher. It will first see what the most recent version on the ftp is, and ask you to confirm that you want to generate a patcher for that version (useful on patch night to see if it's up yet).
I have renamed the script to "easy_prepatcher", because it's so easy to use.
I recommend that you back up your MapleStory folder just in case something goes wrong.
Credit and thanks to maststef for explaining how to make a prepatcher!
Edit: easy_prepatcher and its source code are public domain; that means you can redistribute it, modify it, do whatever the heck you want with it.
Edit 8/13/08: Fixed a bug that only affects people who are not using the included BasePatcher.dat for security reasons.
Extra info:
Spoiler
Both links include BasePatcher.dat, which is derived from any ManualPatch.exe from the website. Already having that instead of the script having to download ManualPatch.exe could greatly speed up the script if the ManualPatch.exe on the website is large.
If you want a patch for something other than the previous version to the current version, use make_prepatcher instead (see the spoiler below)
The security-conscious will realize that BasePatcher.dat goes directly into the patcher; they should download ManualPatch.exe from Nexon's website and let the script generate BasePatcher.dat if they don't trust where they got BasePatcher.dat from. A ManualPatch.exe can be downloaded on the main Nexon site at http://maplestory.nexon.net/WZ.ASPX?PART...amePatches
The script was packaged in a .exe using PAR-packager.
first post (earlier version, called make_prepatcher):
Spoiler
I wrote a Perl script that generates a prepatcher, given any old manual patcher, the xxxxxtoyyyyy.patch file from the ftp, NewPatcher.dat from the ftp, and the patch notes (yyyyy.txt) from the ftp.
That contains make_prepatcher.exe. If you don't trust me, you already have a Perl interpreter, or you just want the source, download the source at: http://www.cs.stevens.edu/~gnajda/make_p...patcher.pl. The source was packaged into an executable using PAR-packager. I am placing the source in the public domain.
If and only if you choose not to use the .exe and use the Perl source instead, you will need the Perl interpreter, which you can download here: http://www.activestate.com/store/downloa...d58c2648ca (download the x86 MSI). Once it is downloaded, install it. Again, you do not need to do this step if you are using make_prepatcher.exe
Now put make_prepatcher.exe or make_prepatcher.pl in a folder along with the ManualPatch.exe from any recent version (available at http://maplestory.nexon.net/WZ.ASPX?PART...amePatches), the patch file for the new version (xxxxxtoyyyyy.patch) from the Nexon ftp, NewPatcher.dat from the Nexon ftp, and the patch notes for the new version (yyyyy.txt) from the Nexon ftp. (ftp://patch.nexon.net/Maple/patch/)
Run make_prepatcher.exe or make_prepatcher.pl (if you installed Perl, make_prepatcher.pl should be double-clickable). This will create a file of the form 00058_patcher.exe in the same folder. That's your prepatcher, run it and patch. I recommend backing up your MapleStory folder first, just in case it doesn't work.
Credit and thanks to maststef for explaining how to make a prepatcher!
You can also find the directions inside make_prepatcher.pl.
