Maple related:

10 Main char (name,job): Ambiv, AB ( because I like the mobility and critical)

11 List all your mule chars (names,job): quite a few (9) since I used all free card from last event (only purpose is for Link), so not really playing them after 120. (so far Merc, DA, Xenon, Kanna are 120, about 2 days work each)

12 Levels of those (main,mules): Main: 176, as above, 4 mules have reached 120, others at starting lvl

13 Explain your view on hacking, scamming, ksing and duper gear:
despicable and sometimes shameless (saw a scammer being scammed then using 20+ megaphone to announce it, disgrace, I even bought a megaphone just for exposing him)

14 Have you ever been banned?: No

15 How long have you been playing Maplestory:
I played GMS back in 2004 (its pain yeah compared to what it became now), played EMS but quitted 4-5 years ago (had a lv190 Bishop in Demo). This time I installed the game about 3 weeks ago, believed or not, all those the nostalgic BGM from YouTube got me back, and some new stuff (for me) is fun so I stayed and playing. Having a few friends teaching me the new MS mechanism also check wiki, so I'm getting better knowledge.

16 What goals do you wanna achieve? Having fun ultimately without painful grinding, more fun bossing in team work. small goal is 500k and later 1M could make me happy enough ;)　 Oh and 100% Crit is also my goal ;P (should get 90% once I got the hyper).  Last but not least, I enjoy MS music.

17 How do you make money? Little gamble everyday, got some luck, like light sabre, and Tylent from capsule, but if its urgent (such as something not to miss in FM), I'll use NX. (I make decent amount of money from my job as well as secondary job, so not really a problem)

18 What you mostly do when you're online? For the last week busy grinding other class for link (so far 4 has reached 120 in 2 weeks). For main, bossing everyday and only casual grinding (until next event I might do some hardcore grinding towards 200)

Guild related

21 Why do you want to join Absolution (your motivation)?: Would like to join an active guild for fun

22 Do you know anyone in Absolution?: No

23 Do you agree to our rules? Yes

24 In what way will you contribute to the guild? Offer help to whoever needed, also take part in bossing (once I got my range sorted out)

25 How did you found us?: EMS forum


PS: I see most ppl here are at school (pre-university) so if you guys feel I'm too mature to join that's fine ;)

Thanks.

Fyi, I'm still noob at some bossing and keep fast learning.

Just did the Magnus simulator 1st time yesterday
1st try 3 lives left, 2nd try 11 lives left.

Other bosses for my daily solo routine
normal HT - 1 min
normal Hilla - 1 min
Chaos Zak - 3~4 min
RA all 4 boss - 6~7 min

I'll do PB and Cygnus one day....and would love to join any CRA team / Magnus in the future.

No worries. You're doing better than me, knowing I've yet to do my first solo attempts on HT/CZak/RA. What range do you have? =)

Overall range is 240-270K after buff, almost 300K after killing HT

I burnt some black cubes yesterday to get 30% boss on my weapon and sub-weapon, so my boss atk is around 140%-ish atm (I have yet to train DS, this will be next). My main weapon has not been scrolled or EE yet (waiting for that anniversary event, and next patch..). Hard to buy a finished AB weapon so I have to make my own.

Also got nice crit line on my emblem (L) and sub weapon, total 71% critical chance (I got my weapon to 30% boss 12% att, but I really want a crit line). Tried a few miracle circulator but no luck getting crit line neither. AB with near 100% crit will mean that your dmg is almost doubled (65%-110% min/max)

Oh, I see.. I'm stuck at about 50k range at the moment, but I basically started from scratch when I returned a couple of months ago. The guild doesn't mind if you're able to boss or not, as long as you're a good, friendly guy and willing to participate in guild things (which can be bossing, and then people will guide you through it and you'll learn it eventually).

30% Boss and 12% Att sounds like a good deal to me, isn't there a way to get the extra 10% crit from another equip? =) I'd be happy with anything over my 5% dex (total) that I currently got xD My next investment will be a clean Fafnir Bow, ready to scroll it with the anniversairy scrolls =)

I'll keep the current weapon potential since 12% att will help me grind :p
Till end game, eventually I'll re-roll it to get like 60% or more boss dmg, when I reach 210 or 220 or no longer need 12% att for grinding.

Sadly I didn't know the previous event offer some crit ring.
Normally you can get crit line from your weapon, sub-weapon, emblem and inner ability (from up to 10% epic ability, or 10-20% unique or insane 20-30% Legendary.....). I got both from emblem and sub-weapon, so I have to rely on the future luck for inner ability...and lv198 hypercritical skill give 10%.

My Trixters, Tylent, Nova sets potentials are poor (6% dex max) but were fairly cheap, best deals got are some cheap 15% dex earring and glove. Although I got money, I need to refrain from burning it on MS too much, so cost-effective and get important gear sorted is my priority ;)

The stuff I need to learn yet is android, I know nothing about the heart xD

I will vote yes,
we didn't really spoke since i was busy etc.
But i watched you talking to alii and it looked fine,
so will get to know you more later!
