It was not long since the release of Dual Blades that I was able to reach lvl 120. This goal was reached much quicker than I had thought. I've been preparing for this job for a while now. It was very expected that Nexon would include NX skill mastery books, so I MTSed a lot of maple daggers to have enough nx to buy them. Below are pictures of the some of the equips and nx I had prepared on my Dual Blade. All of the equips were self scrolled and some makered. ^_^ I didn't want to spend much money on weapons or equips, so I makered most of them, like the Lvl 100 Katara. For the Attk gloves, Shoes, and Cape, I reused from my other characters.
I know that a lot of you guys are wondering if I had to play all day to reach Lvl 120 in this short amount of time. My answer would be no. I bought one of the ten day 2x EXP cards, so I usually trained during those 4 hours of 2x EXP. And on the weekends, there were two 2x EXP events that lasted 2 hrs each and I trained during those times. So everyday is 3 -4 hrs of 2x EXP and on weekends are the additional 2 hours from the 2x EXP Event. Of course during the training process, I used 2x EXP Family Buffs, a Ring Mule, and Holy Symbols to speed up the training.
How many levels per day?
From Lvl 30 - 80, it took around 8 - 10 mins per level and 10 - 15 mins per level from 80 - 120. So that is around 6 - 7 levels per hour. Depending on which day, I averaged out about 24 - 28 levels from each 3 - 4 Hr 2x EXP sessions. This is by far the fastest leveling process I've had since Cygnus Knights. :D
After reaching Lvl 120, I'll probably take a break from training. I will be updating the Dual Blade Training Guide soon because I've noticed some of the training spots are not efficient at some levels.
As of now, I'll be posting up new Resistance: Wild Hunter videos. So those will be coming up very soon. =)
Recently in KMS (Korean Maple Story), the new Big Bang Patch was launched. This this patch introduced many new features and changes. Victoria Island had a complete alteration, meaning the maps have all been changed. The levels of every single monster has also been changed. The exp to level up has been greatly reduced. There is also a new game resolution.
What's best of all is the new balancing for every class. Lots of new skills have been added and changed. The damage for the skills have also been greatly increased. To view all the changes to each character, I recommend checking out the Revamp extractions on http://www.Southperry.net/
Along with the Big Bang Patch, KMS has announced the release day for the new Jobs 'Resistance.' Resistance will be released on July 22nd. While GMS is releasing Dual Blade, KMS will be patching Resistance.
Resistance consists of two jobs: Wild Hunter and Battle Mage. Wild Hunters use crossbows while Battle Mages use Staves and Wands. I will be creating a Wild Hunter because Battle Mages remind me of Aran where you have to repeadly spam the CTRL key. xD So I'll try to post Wild Hunter videos as much as a I can. =)
On August 12th, KMS will be releasing a Mechanic Job. There isn't very much information on this yet, so I can't really say much about it. But it has something to do with Resistance as well.
Big Bang Map Tours
I did a quick tour for every map in Victoria Island and parts of Ossyria and Ludibrium. You'll notice that lot has changed after this patch.
I made a new character in KMS to see how much the Big Bang patch has changed it. I started a cleric and surprisingly it only took around 2 Hrs to reach Lvl 30 without 2x EXP. Also, the skills have changed. Magic Claw can now hit 2 monsters and a much farther range. I recorded a preview about when I was Lvl 28. You will see that I can hit golems on top platforms from a far range.
I recently reached Lvl 35 and will be uploading a new video soon. In the new video, you will see that the damage for Heal has been greatly increased. Holy Arrow has also improved. So far, I am liking the new changes for the Cleric job. ^_^
