[MapleSEA BOSSING] - the skills to CURE Seduce/Zombify/an abnormal status effect at any 1 time- Hero's Will/Akatsuki Cleansing

Contents page: https://maplestoryseatips.blogspot.sg/2016/03/maplesea-contents-page-of-facebook-notes.html

NOTE:
HAYATO and Kanna already have Akatsuki Cleansing upon 4th job advancement. All EXPLORERS EXCEPT ZEN have the skill upon 4th job advancement.
Just in case:
At lv120, go to leafre, find Chief Tatamo, accept and do the quest chain. The quest given by Chief Tatamo is 'Carta's Sin'. Carta the Sea Witch can found in the GOLDEN PORTAL the top left monster map (Deep Sea Gorge 1) of the dungeon region in the Aquarium region.
The reward is the skill Hero's Will:
level 5 (requires 5 of your Skill Points), cooldown 6 minutes, cures
=
1. Seduce -
(jump to left, or right, on random, cannot move, cannot use potions, cannot use skills)
=
2. Zombify-(a Priest or Bishop using HEAL will kill everyone, including himself or herself, in the party, who is 'zombified'.)
=
3. An abnormal status effect at any one time.

[MapleSEA] Dragon Rider PQ's soaring skill quest!!!! (lv120) (pre-requisite to enter DRPQ)

Contents page: https://maplestoryseatips.blogspot.sg/2016/03/maplesea-contents-page-of-facebook-notes.html

Putting it separate from lv120+ training note because I had to put the party quests together under that note's POINT NUMBER 7 to show that DRPQ is the highest % exp lv120+ PQ:x, so I'm typing this guide here.
First, go to Leafre: The Forest That Disappeared (near Colossus, on Colossus's left in Leafre region map).
Then, enter the bottom right portal. Talk to Matada to get started.
The dew is sold in the leafre potion shop. The mobs (rash and beetle) also drop Dragon Essence.
Give the items to Matada, and he will ask you to look for Chief Tatamo in Leafre for some extract.
Then give the extract to Matada.
You have to take the SOARING skill from Matada, before you can go back to any town> quick move>
mirror of dimension> party quest entry> you can enter DRAGON RIDER PQ!





---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IT IS THE HIGHEST % EXP GIVING PQ! AT lv130, 8% per DRPQ, and at that level, Escape PQ only gives 6%!!! ALSO DRPQ IS THE FASTEST PQ TO COMPLETE, THAT IS WHY IT IS SO POPULAR.

[MapleSEA] (Suggestion by a MapleSEAer) Getting Imperial Set from 'Fight for Azwan' for unfunded players (if Cygnus set is to...

Contents page: https://maplestoryseatips.blogspot.sg/2016/03/maplesea-contents-page-of-facebook-notes.html

'Fight for Azwan' can be accessed via the Mirror of Dimension in towns. Please enter the Azwan Obelisk. Thank you.
*******IMPORTANT NOTE: The contributor has mentioned that the % hp boost is good for demon avengers. The damage range of a demon avenger is based on the total unharmed buffed damage range. 10% hp= +10% to damage range:x*******
-
The imperial set (from the shop on the right)requires azwan emperor coins, doing azwan hard mode (attack/occupy [much faster to complete, may be more difficult than defense] or defense[much slower to complete, may be easier than attack/occupy])can give you 5 emperor coins and 1 conqueror coin per round. There is a daily limit as indicated in the far right portal. 11 conqueror coins can be exchanged for 1 emperor coin on the shop on the left.
-
Total set effect of lv130 Imperial set: imperial set: 33 wa/ma, 20 stats + (20 of primary stat OR in some cases 10 of primary stat and 10 of secondary stat), +30% of monster defense ignored, total damage +12%, +20% hp/mp^0.o^. Screenshot proof (can be checked if your weapon is unequipped): https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=618961574865901&set=pcb.618961644865894&type=1&theater

Compared with total set effect of the lv140 Cygnus(Empress) set, which has higher damage: 60wa/ma +20stats, +2skill levels, +30% boss dmg, +30% hp/mp^^ for Cygnus(Empress) set. Screenshot proof: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=618961578199234&set=pcb.618961644865894&type=1&theater
The lv140 Cygnus(Empress) set costs roughly few million mesos per piece for the 6 pieces (overall, hat, shoe, glove, cape, weapon), but not including the shoulder pad, and the 7th piece (the shoulder pad), can cost about few million mesos for the magician (magic damage type) shoulder pad, and few million mesos for the weapon damage type shoulder pads.

The lv105 Revolution set effect [requested by the contributor^^ to be included in the note] (as long as the red coin shop during the red patch is still around...): 25wa/ma, 17stats, 20% boss damage, +200 hp/mp-.-lllllllll.

[MapleSEA] How to earn Event coins whenever there is an Event coin shop in towns, via Mu lung Dojo, ONLY IF APPLICABLE

Contents page: https://maplestoryseatips.blogspot.sg/2016/03/maplesea-contents-page-of-facebook-notes.html

At your left side of your screen, you would have received quests to do 1 round of Normal Mode in Mu Lung Dojo
for 3 event coins at lv90, 4 event coins at lv120 for Hard Mode, 5 event coins at lv130 for Ranked Mode(Terribly difficult due to insanely high HP of bosses, and they deal like 1 damage to you:x).
In towns, click '>>>Quick Move' on the left of the screen, then click 'Dimensional Mirror'. Next, click
'Mu lung dojo'.
====================================================
After every 5 rounds, the mid-boss(es) are defeated. You can choose to take buffs. But in Hard Mode, taking a buff means forfeiting bonus points, needed for Hard Mode rewards, that last ONLY 7 days:x.
=============================================
If you are doing Normal Mode, after the 5th round, take the 60 weapon/magic attack 10-minute buff.
================================================
If you are doing Hard Mode------------(The 2nd last boss, Lyka, can deal up to almost 5000 magic damage on you if you are a non-magician (You will have low magic defense)
-----------------------------------------------
If you are using jobs that heal themselves via passive skills (a certain % of (usually 4 to 5%) hp & mp every 4 to 5 seconds) e.g. Zen, Mercedes, Viper, Kaiser
after the 5th round: take the +4000 weapon/magic defense buff
after the 10th round: take the 60 weapon/magic attack 10-minute buff
after the 15th round: take the +10000hp 10-minute buff (because of your passive healing skill, to help you survive)
=========================================================
If you are using jobs that are none of the above:
after the 5th round: take the +4000 weapon/magic defense buff
after the 10th round: take the 60 weapon/magic attack 10-minute buff
after the 15th round: take the avoidability/accuracy +2000 10-minute buff
=============================================================
@@@@@@@@For the Greatest boost in damage in Hard Mode! (please be careful with this!!!)@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
if you are confident of surviving hard mode without defense and/or avoidability:
(You must have active skills that can heal at least 50% of your hp, and the cooldown, if any,
cannot be more than 30 seconds, as a rule of thumb. Or your avoidability, or your level, is very high.)
after the 5th round: take the +4000 weapon/magic defense buff
after the 10th round: take the 60 weapon/magic attack 10-minute buff
after the 15th round: take the 30 weapon/magic attack 10-minute buff
(because a different buff can stack,
while the same buff repeats that buff, TESTED)
================================================
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!: If your 10-minute buff can only last you 10 rounds or less, please choose your buffs accordingly and wisely! DO NOT follow the structure ABOVE BLINDLY
e.g.
after the 5th round: 30 weapon/magic attack 10-minute buff
after the 10th round: 60 weapon/magic attack 10-minute buff (so 30+60 wa/ma effect lasts till round 15 or less)
after the 15th round: +4000 weapon/magic defense 10-minute buff
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
===================================================
Here's a photo album of the information in this note, with the other buffs available for use after defeating mid-bosses: https://www.facebook.com/mapleseafreebossruns/media_set?set=a.464287653666628.1073741831.100002561932116&type=3&uploaded=30

[MapleSEA] CORRECTED Normal Horned Tail Plan FROM RED PATCH ONWARDS

Contents page: https://maplestoryseatips.blogspot.sg/2016/03/maplesea-contents-page-of-facebook-notes.html

Source: http://www.facebook.com/notes/me/#!/groups/259003637446184/doc/259749154038299/
-
FROM RED PATCH ONWARDS, BISHOPS ARE ALLOWED TO ATTACK THE BOSS. Reason being that their DISPEL skill can now dispel ZOMBIFY, SEDUCE & TORNADO too!!!! HORNTAIL IS KNOWN for seducing the 1st 10 people entering the boss map, or the remaining 10 based on the order of entering the boss map!!!!
=
EVERYONE IS TO SELF-POTION THEMSELVES ONCE HIT, preferably with FULL-HEALING POTIONS, e.g. POWER ELIXIRS.
=
EVERYONE IS TO ACTIVATE THEIR DEFENSIVE SKILLS BEFORE FIGHTING HORNTAIL & UPON ENCOUNTERING HORNTAIL's SKILL DISPEL: They will need to re-activate skills like MAGIC GUARD, HYPER BODY, ANY SKILL THAT BOOSTS WEAPON & MAGIC DEFENSE, HOLY MAGIC SHELL, etc.
=
=
TOUCHING ANY PART OF HORNTAIL: INSTANT DEATH. THE TAIL DOES THE MOST DAMAGE- at least 30k WEAPON DAMAGE.
=
=
=
=
=
IMPORTANT SKILLS NEEDED: 
-
HERO's WILL(ALL OTHER JOBS)/AKATSUKI CLEANSING (Kanna & Hayato) cures SEDUCE, or any other abnormal status effect, but only one at at time, for the casting player ONLY, with a cooldown of 6 minutes at max level 5, 5 Skill Points (SP) are needed to train this skill. 
=
(THIS SKILL IS OBTAINED UPON 4th JOB ADVANCEMENT)
- 
Bishop's Holy Magic Shell lasts for 20 seconds, can block 1hp 1mp effect but NOT skill dispel. Has a cooldown of 30 seconds after use(meanin 10 seconds after shell disappears). If another bishop in the party wants to cast this skill, casting it before the 30 second cooldown WILL WASTE THE SHELL. BISHOPS TO SPAM IT WHEN IT IS AVAILABLE!!!!
- 
Bishop's DISPEL, from the RED patch onwards, is able to dispel everything including tornado, SEDUCE & ZOMBIFY!!! Therefore, only 1 bishop is needed per party
-
Bishop's HEAVEN's DOOR prevents 1 death, and the bishop and his/her party members can receive the buff, if the party members are near the bishop. The bishop will definitely get the buff. This is also a 15-mob attack dealing 1000% damage each for 8 hits, with a cooldown of 3 minutes.
=
BISHOPS to spam HOLY FOUNTAIN for party members, including the bishop, to press the up arrow to heal themselves, when it is AVAILABLE!!!
=
BOSS MAP ENTERING SEQUENCE: (due to the fact that HornTail seduces the 1st 10 people who enter the boss map, and will seduce 10 at anyone time, even if anyone of the 1st 10 people who entered the boss map has died, and this is still based on who enters the boss map FIRST!!!)
-
Dark Knights
Warriors (includes Aran)
Mechanics (due to higher tankability than thieves)
Shadowers (they can smoke to protect the parties)
Other thief jobs(includes Night Lords, Dual Blades, Phantoms)
Bow/Crossbow/Dual Bowgun (bowman type) jobs
Pirates(including Zen)
Battlemages
Magic Guard Magician jobs, including Evans (EXCLUDING BISHOPS)
BISHOPS ENTER LAST (to protect the parties, they need to be seduced last)
=
Party arrangement:

1 BISHOP per party.... SERIOUSLY

NECESSARY PREPARATION:

TO DO LIST DURING A NHT RUN:


ORDER TO DEFEAT NHT:
1. TAIL(summons a poison mist that deals damage) 
-
2. LEGS(stomps the ground for 5k+ damage earthquaking(earthshaking) attack)  
-
3. RIGHT ARM(mass seduces!!!)  
-
4. RIGHT HEAD(dark wyverns can use wind attak to dispel!!! + RIGHT head's lightining attack can 1hp/1mp)
-
5. MIDDLE HEAD(mass dispels!!!!!!!)  
-
6. LEFT HEAD(dark wyverns can use wind attack to dispel!!!)
-
7. LEFT ARM(mass seduces!!!)
-

= 
Normal Horntail should be defeated safely.
=

BEFORE THE PURPLE/PINK CRSYTAL SUMMONING HT IS BROKEN, everyone is to stand at the RIGHT SIDE OF THE BOTTOM VINE AT THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE MAP, ON THE FLOOR PLATFORM.

TOUCHING THE TAIL OF HT =100% die, and it is at the LEFT SIDE OF THE BOTTOM VINE AT THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE MAP, on the FLOOR PLATFORM.
TOUCHING ANY PART OF HT = 100% die. ANY PART OF HT IS DEAD ONLY IF that part is GREYED OUT!
VERY IMPORTANT LAST PART: IF YOU ARE DEAD:
Count 7 MINUTES AFTER DEATH using the BOSS MAP TIMER, before shouting 'res' to your party's bishop to RESURRECT YOU. IT takes 10 MINUTES for you to be sent back to town if you do not press OK. There is a chance people may die in this range of time. THE COOLDOWN OF RESURRECTION IS ONLY 30 MINUTES. DO NOT PRESS OK, for we need the manpower. If one person leaves, more people will be MASS SEDUCED, and once A BISHOP IS mass seduced, the WHOLE SQUAD will die since bishops cannot survive that. Please be considerate.

[MapleSEA] Root Abyss NORMAL Mode (requires high damage range!!!)

Contents page: https://maplestoryseatips.blogspot.sg/2016/03/maplesea-contents-page-of-facebook-notes.html

SUMMARY:

NORMAL ROOT ABYSS BOSSING (party of 1 to 6 to enter)

Source:

http://www.maplesea.com/updates/view/heroes_of_maple_patch_notes_v161_1/#9

"C. Boss Related Updates
• Root Abyss Bosses: Minimum party member entry requirement has been changed to 1.
• Chaos Root Abyss & Cygnus Shard Drop Rates:
→ Number of equipment shards dropped individually has been decreased.
→ Party shared shards has been added.
• Normal Lotus Drops: Number of S-Grade Hypercores dropped has been increased."

-

-

-

Suspicious cubes worth 2,750 Mesos each , twisted essence of time 5,848 Mesos each and lv110 resurrection flames worth 50 Mesos each.

=

(For your information only, the price of a lv120 flame is 4,999 mesos each from normal Hilla expedition, which can be solo-ed twice a day, with the 2nd fight being at a different channel.)*** If you are able to buddy someone and share the suspicious cubes and flames equally, by taking turns to loot the next suspicious cube and next flame, there is a guaranteed 1 suspicious cube (not 100% drop chance) and 2 lv110 flames (100% drop chance, 1 flame per boss) per day just by fighting the 4 normal Root Abyss bosses per day.

=

***Twisted essence of time, worth 5,848 mesos each, drops from normal monsters which are lv95+, and bosses like normal mode Hilla and the 4 normal mode Root Abyss bosses. Thanks. ^^

=

There is a VERY LOW CHANCE of obtaining suspicious cubes by exchanging green Yggdrasil Rune Stones (from the NORMAL root abyss bosses) or blue Yggdrasil Rune Stones (from the middle root abyss lv180/190 monster dungeon) for equipment boxes from npc Oko in Root Abyss. For a higher chance, do NOT choose the weapon box as it requires 4 coins, the others require 2 coins per box only! 

= 

Root Abyss keys (Deadwood keys) can be obtained via the free 5 daily key 'light bulb' quest, if you have defeated all 4 normal bosses (while doing their respective quests). Or, 1 can be bought from the npc for 100k mesos. Or 2 from the same npc, using 1 Yggdrasil Rune Stone (obtainable from normal Root Abyss bosses). All keys expire in 24 hours! You can only fight each boss, whether normal or chaos, once a day. You can enter the boss area with a key as long as you did not enter the portal into the boss map i.e. the portal inside the boss area (you will be fighting normal mobs around lv120 first)

Root Abyss normal bosses drop 1 SUSPICIOUS CUBE each (50% chance), which can be sold to players for 2,750 Mesos each.

They also drop 1 RESURRECTION FLAME Level 110 each (100% chance), which can be sold to players for 50 Mesos each. (Price of Resurrection Flame Level 120 from normal Hilla is 49,999 mesos each.)

===============================================================

*****ROOT ABYSS BOSS AREAS MUST BE ENTERED IN A PARTY OF 1 OR MORE, WITH EACH PARTY MEMBER HAVING A KEY.

Because the boss areas can be entered repeatedly (1 key is used per entry), as long as you don't enter the portal inside, which leads to the boss, people (bishops & phantoms) are selling HS (Holy Symbol) service because it is a good method to train from lv100 to 119.

================================================

TIPS when fighting the normal bosses:

-

You are allowed to die 5 times, no EXP is lost for dying in NORMAL mode only.

-

1. Ban Ban (rooster/chicken boss): Dodge his staff blast attack and jumping earthquake attack (both stun and deal about 90+% of your HP!!!) 'Trap' him in the BLACK areas to increase the time remaining. The white areas decrease the time remaining, so AVOID THIS AT ALL COSTS.

-

2. Pierre (clown boss): Do NOT attack him when you are wearing a clown hat (that he cast on you) that is of the same colour as his own hat, as you will end up healing him!!! When his hat is red, be careful, because after he teleports, he will go to a random spot in the boss map and start hammering the space just in front of him. You will die even with HEAVEN's DOOR on, if you get hit by that. When he CHASES a player, the flame trail he leaves behind does 2000 damage (before factoring in % elemental resistance) to you!!!

-

3. Bloody Queen: Be careful of her 'shield (barrier)' when her eyes are 'BLACK'. It is a DAMAGE REFLECT shield. Turn off all active skills that can deal damage when you touch or teleport towards or past her!!! Once she summons a mirror, destroy it immediately, failing which you will be 'sucked' towards it, and once you touch it, you will die no matter what!!! Be careful of the black areas she summons, which deal 2000 damage on you, unless you get out of it (teleport, jump out, anything)!!! Also stay behind her at ALL COSTS as her multi-hit flame attack deals so much damage that it can kill you.

-

4. Vellum: Dodge the rock attacks which don't deal damage but WILL STUN YOU. Also stay behind him at ALL COSTS as his fireball attack (attacks the space in front of him, from the one nearest to him, to the furthest, total of 3 fireballs), will 1-hit KILL YOU!!!!

Revamped Hyper Stats:
http://aminoapps.com/p/v0kvln

An unfunded way or order of training the revamped Hyper Stats is as follows.
1) Add % damage first.
2) Add weapon attack/magic attack.
3) Add the primary stat(s) for all jobs;
except for Dark Knight, and Phantom using Dark Knight's 3rd job skill Cross Over Chains, which should add % Max HP.

4) Add the secondary stats(s);
except for Dark Knight, and Phantom using Dark Knight's 3rd job skill Cross Over Chains, which should add their individual primary stat (STR for Dark Knight, and LUK for Phantom).

5) Add % critical damage, % monster defense ignored, and % boss damage; except for
Dark Knight, and Phantom using Dark Knight's 3rd job skill Cross Over Chains, which should add their individual secondary stat DEX first, before adding % critical damage, % monster defense ignored, and % boss damage.
Screenshot image 1 (Bishop):
In general, this means that a lv274 character which has completed the 5th job advancement at lv200+, would have lv15 % Damage, lv15 ATT/MATT, and lv10 Primary Stat, and lv0 for other Hyper Stats.

Screenshot image 2 (Mihile):
In general, this means that a lv200 character which has not completed the 5th job advancement at lv200+, would have lv10 % Damage, lv10 ATT/MATT, lv5 Primary Stat, lv3 Secondary Stat, lv3 % Critical Damage, and lv0 for other Hyper stats.

Important:

1)
The buffed damage range of Demon Avenger increase as his/her HP increases.

2)
Before completing the 5th job advancement at lv200, the highest level for each Hyper Stat is lv10.
After completing the 5th job advancement at lv200, the highest level for each Hyper Stat is lv15.
Thank you.
