Kunoichi no longer drop Aluminum Bat, yet Nexon kept the bowtie and shield att 60%. Not cool.

Interestingly enough, Ashigaru now drops Skull Staff, Serpent Staff, and Crossheider.

EDIT: also from what I can tell, the droprate for equips from various monsters in NC has been increased substantially.

EDIT2: HOLY pineapple (also Kacchuu Musha is dropping loads of dragonic equipment)

Now has anyone actually gotten one or are we assuming it's still there? =3

It's in the codex droplist. Kunoichi and Ashigaru are the only monsters in Ninja Castle that you can view their entries for.

60% shield atk prices have also dropped A LOT (from ~80m to 30m in BelloNova), so it's safe to assume that either a quest is giving them out or the mobs are dropping them.

60% Shield Attack (and 60% Shield Magic Attack) Scrolls come from the Krexel prequests now - specifically the part where you have to kill Dukus and collect Rafflesias, so it can only be obtained once per character.

where is the spinner thing? I can't find it and these stupid tickets are just sitting in my inventory >.>

[¬Rob]

I thought it was weird when mobs in MP3 were dropping arrows you'd normally have to craft.

I've been away from MS since holidays but someone tell me, were the auction house and the milleage system added already?

Nope not yet.

I highly doubt we're going to get the Mileage system in GMS IMO.

Has any Zero these past several days been D/Cing at Gollux repeatedly when they finish off the boss with Beta's Earth Break? The moment I kill him, I D/C and waste my Gollux attempt for the day. Really beginning to get annoying. I've yet to try finishing off Gollux with Shadow Rain to see if the problem still persists. I haven't D/Ced like this before...

Sorry to quote myself here, but just to double check on this odd Gollux DC issue. Not sure if it's big enough a problem to put under Maplebugs since perhaps other people are getting D/Ced if they use certain skills at Gollux.

[ChronosXIII]

They forgot to use the old NPC sprites from before the alien invasion.

Everyone looks sad.

You don't have to leave and collect the prot or any other milestone reward to keep accumulating points. Even if you keep getting the "You've reached 100k points blahblah can't get more blahblah" spam the points you pick up will still count. I've gotten the spam for 20+ mins in evo and when I got out I could collect my prot scroll, then the 5k cube reward, then the 2 cube 10k reward, etc etc.

This isn't what happened to me. I also ignored the 100k point spam for around 20 mins, and when I exited I could claim the prot scroll but not the 5k or 10k cubes, even though I had gotten 11k more points past the 100k boundary (but less than 30k for the day).
Maybe Nexon 'fixed' this in the last maintenance.

Nope, they didn't.

Then allow me to come in here and say that pineappleing NexAm sucks. Korean Nexon is willing to give up on some income in other to help maplestory's popularity raise back, but NexAm would rather GMS root before giving up on their money grubbing strategies.

[Jazeon]

Any update on the attendance glitch? I was hoping it was just a visual thing cuz it keeps telling me to complete it but of course you get nothing when you complete it. I had it all completed from the first day as well.

I think there's other factors at work here, such as the fact that GMS has, from what I've heard, a larger proportion of hackers (KMS probably has a higher number of hackers due to a much higher player base). I would like more ways to get NX/discounts, but I don't think the decision not to add mileage is completely out of greed.

[Takebacker]

(KMS probably has a higher number of hackers due to a much higher player base)

I don't think this is true. There are consequences to hacking, unlike here, and the korean morality prevents a lot of people from breaking the rules in the first place.
