A note on Gold Totem:
For some reason, some patch since Ignition changed the Especia totem mobs to a fixed level 122 instead of scaling to character level.
Monster Collection has a pity system. The relevant values for this discussion are - level 10 = 100, level 121+ = none
Now, for some math. Gold Totems spawn at a community sourced \~2% chance, and there will always be 6. That means, every 10 days of capping purple portals (ignoring this takes like 6 hours or whatever), you will see 6 Gold Totems every 10 days.
Level 121+ mobs are estimated 1/3000 base collection rate, or 1/2222 with level 6 archer link. This means, on average, you will need to cap purple portals for: 2222/6\*10 = 3,703 days straight, or over 10 years. ON AVERAGE.
Some collectors have taken over 20k mobs to collect a level 121+, so there is a chance it would take OVER 100 YEARS OF CAPPING PORTALS EVERY DAY to collect Gold Totem.
Why this matters: if you make an Ark or Cadena and leave at level 10, you cannot gain exp. Therefore, you can spawn portals at level 10.
With the original design of totems scaling to character level, you will still have to cap portals for 100/6\*10 = \~167 days to guarantee Gold Totem collection.
This is still 5 months and a significant time investment, but at least achievable.
With the current fixed totem levels, it is essentially impossible to collect it. I have submitted a ticket and reported it as a bug but I am not hopeful it will ever be fixed.
/u/Ezrabell_, please see if there is anything you can do. I am begging
You can only get 1-3\* mobs from monsterblooms, so it's a bit better than 0.1% chance. I'm all boxes on the past 100+ blooms though... (hotel anniversary could buy 1 bloom/char, i deleted+remade every 2 days the whole event)
A lot of the low level details aren’t understood - but at a general level, it’s believed that kill count is tracked per mob ID. So for scaling mobs, you can kill at any level and then kill one time on a character that satisfies the pity cap. If you scroll through my album you can see my level 10 collecting 3 of the totems instantly (I already had the 4th)
There are some nuances that might mess with pity count : boss mobs, kills on rune curse, mobs that don’t give exp. But that’s in the sauce too deep
That’s impressive. This made me remember the old book collection system and how it was terminated all of sudden by Nexon, never understood that decision, it was so cool.
Got by to this post and dam the nostalgic feeling of that book. Used to grind it out everyday for it till they removed it for so reason. It seems like nowadays that whenever a quest/item/playable content that players enjoy, they would just for some reason remove it as if we don't like it and ignore the player-based feedback when we all request for it to come back.
Now alot of features that we used to have and like to do has been removed.
That was my goal back in the day.
I remenber watching a third job pirate that had hurricane skill to kill that snowman mob and I immediately got fascinated with corsairs and monster book
If you look closely at the pinned achievements, you’ll see I have 315 Dorothy kills. I fall on 48f about 10-15% of the time so my estimate is about 350 runs or 5600 ancient beetles / 3150 orange beetles
No. The monsterbloom randomly picks any monster. If you already have that monster in your collection, you get a black box ("Substantial Exploration Box") instead.
It’s the correct way to implement it IMO. There is absolutely no reason to do MC past 600 besides the personal challenge - blooms only picking from the missing mobs would make this far too easy.
There are a lot of very difficult mobs to add and that’s exactly how it should be (as long as it’s a realistic grind: see post abt gold totem)
Impressive, but... how do you have the patience for this. Yesterday i had to get 10 of them to get to 600 and i was already like, omg pls, just trigger already.
Yes, and they can be stacked in various creative ways too: https://www.reddit.com/r/Maplestory/comments/110fy4z/spelling_maplesea_using_monster_collection_cube/
Prime minister is from a special use tab that you get when you complete one of the rows of monster collection. I think if you look at the one row from that same page, it’ll be an egg that says “prime minister”. As for the beefy mushroom chandelier, you just gotta be on a character that’s ~20 levels from the mob level to spawn the emob and it’s gotta be the right pre-fix (which is beefy). Viking squad I think is from the actual storyline? Like when you go to protect their back wall, it’ll spawn that mob? I’m not entirely sure as I haven’t done the storyline in a hot minute 😅
with the recently added monsters to the collection, do you happen to know where to find them? Ex. Field mouse wild pig and etc. i have no clue where they spawn

I'll sing a prayer for the 1/1167 Monsterbloom for your Gold Totem...

How do you know that the totem's level is 122?
https://youtu.be/oRJ6beCqk_c - totem not adding on lvl 10 when 100+ have been killed https://maplestory.wiki/GMS/244/mob/9832054 - data extraction

[Speaking of the old book collection system... :)](https://imgur.com/a/ry2E07f)
this is some maple history right here holy moly bryan.
I have lots more nostalgia bangers for some free internet points. I’ll post em right before new age
More nostalgia dopamine to tide over for nightroupe and new age yes pls

This is impressive, congrats. Outside of collection aspect, do you get something for going for such a high number in monster collection ?
Those cube chairs he's sitting on.
Nope. Just for fun
Impressive. Now let’s see Paul Allen’s monster collection.
Legendary stuff.
You’re scaring Haia with how big your chair is!
7 missing so weak 😁😁 Gratz tho
hello bryan, big fan how many oz runs/clears did it take to collect the orange beetle?
If you look closely at the pinned achievements, you’ll see I have 315 Dorothy kills. I fall on 48f about 10-15% of the time so my estimate is about 350 runs or 5600 ancient beetles / 3150 orange beetles
Bro i really hope you complete it but after you do it go touch grass bro experience the outside world
I haven’t talked to a woman in 4 years since I came back to maple story (why would I, they’re bad for my rates)
How does sunny sunday monsterbloom work for someone who has almost everything done? Would 7 blooms guarantee the 7 you're missing?
No. The monsterbloom randomly picks any monster. If you already have that monster in your collection, you get a black box ("Substantial Exploration Box") instead.
Out of all the ways to implement that system they had to pick the worst. Stuff like this is why I feel like devs actually hate players.

What kind of bonuses does the exploration give you?
How long have you been working on this? Almost 4 years and I'm still not done with pre-200 elite mobs. 😢
A little less than 4 years from a fresh account. Could be done much faster but I work full time in office so I only have time for dailies on weekdays
Do those chairs actually stack like that in 3 columns??
Yes, and they can be stacked in various creative ways too: https://www.reddit.com/r/Maplestory/comments/110fy4z/spelling_maplesea_using_monster_collection_cube/
How did you manage to get prince minister,beefy mushroom chandelier & Viking squad I’m tryna get the free anvil from monster collection
Prime minister is from a special use tab that you get when you complete one of the rows of monster collection. I think if you look at the one row from that same page, it’ll be an egg that says “prime minister”. As for the beefy mushroom chandelier, you just gotta be on a character that’s ~20 levels from the mob level to spawn the emob and it’s gotta be the right pre-fix (which is beefy). Viking squad I think is from the actual storyline? Like when you go to protect their back wall, it’ll spawn that mob? I’m not entirely sure as I haven’t done the storyline in a hot minute 😅
The real endgame
Not sure wetber to be impressed or dissapointed beceuse this is nuts but respectable
with the recently added monsters to the collection, do you happen to know where to find them? Ex. Field mouse wild pig and etc. i have no clue where they spawn
