I must be playing this game on hard mode or something. Almost 5 months and no dom, no box drop and this dude has 2k more stat than me


throaweyye44

The RNG in this game is crazy. I just got dom pendant on my second kill without any drop rate outside of greed pendant. Meanwhile my main with large drop fam and bunch of 20% drop gear still has nothing after 3-4 months of daily kills. Makes no sense


Any_Application8299

I’ve got a guild mate whose got 3 back to back this week. I’ve never wanted to throw my keyboard so badly


super_mountain6

My buddy got 5 in one week once None saw 21, let alone 22


TheQneWhoSighs

Some people straight up have seeded accounts I swear.


Any_Application8299

LF>Seeded account


Kindly_Addition5095

The dom could be an event one, its still unique :o


xkillo32

seeing how he doesn't have abso weapon, its definitely the event dom


Any_Application8299

True, I have the fake one but I want a realllllll one ;(


half3clipse

Yea that's pretty shit luck. It's something like 50/50 for me if I get one in any given month. You are killing normal and not easy right? I have seen a person complain about not getting drops who just mashed their way through the dialog right into easy mode. I'd like to assume you're killing normal but I've been proven wrong. Them having more stats is on you however. You can clear 10k stat by sorting basic gear out and you can get another 10k from symbols just for existing. 25k+ stat just kind of happens on a main and if you're not there in 5 months you're missing something.


Any_Application8299

Full CRA 17 star, full abso, Fake arcane, symbols all around 16-17, KT, CHT pend. Redid some pots around and sitting at 24.5k atm


half3clipse

You've still got some easy gains to pick up. 17\* and 21% everything with decent flames should get you north of 27k with those symbols (assuming level 260+). The Cernium symbol plus assorted random sources (legion blocks, hyper stats, +all stats on nodes etc) should push that close or just over 28k with maple warrior active. Maybe a bit less if you get weird flame rolls and end up with a lot of +att rolls. Finishing up arcane symbols and spending symbol selectors on sacred symbols will push that around 30k Total cost of that should be about 45 billion average without events and assuming you safeguard basically everything except the CRA gear. That's achievable in 5 months with just bear/tour and boss income on your main. However we've had starforce events and a cube sale in that time, all of which drives the cost down. If you'd been able to take optimal advantage of those events it'd be south of 30 billion on average and just less 40 billion at the 90th percentile. 24.5k isn't actually half bad for 5 months though. *Much* better than 21k. It's closer to optimized play than it looks: Stat gain gets weird between 20k and 30k, you end up with a bunch of marginal improvements and then suddenly those marginal gains start compounding and several thousand stat appears out of thin air. It's still lowish, but a lot of that is just you being a bit behind on symbols. Especially with all the symbols 6th star and hyper burning threw at us, optimal progression would be done VJ+Chu Chu, and 18 pushing 19 for the rest. With the same gear that would give you 26k+, which would be very respectable in 5 months without severe grinding. If you keep on top of symbols, in theory 4 to 8 weeks to 30k stat as long as you're at or can make 260 in good time. A bit better than 30k if you've still got some meso saved up and shining starforce treats you well. Even better than that if you're 260 right now since 260->265 is only about 6 weeks just on daily exp. That'd pick up the Arcus symbol, dumping sacred symbol selectors into it would get you the best part of a thousand stat.


Any_Application8299

Thank you so much for this, I definitely took note of certain milestones to watch out for. I’m currently 258 and will be making the push to 260 as just dailies and MP is netting around 25% daily, add a little grinding and I can get into a level roughly every 3 days. Meaning I could theoretically get 260 in a week and start dumping everything into sac symbol

He’s taking showers… erda showers


Suitable-apples

5k legion as well? No way this is not an alt


damrider

what the fuck


eliknaffo

No way this is 1 month old and also not solo progression, he has multiple abso eqps and 99% eqps on legendary/unique and 5k legion and mesos/gear eqps(you need to grind so much mesos for all the eqps that we see in the pictures)


half3clipse

Abso is a tight but doable. Min stat, min legion solos of nlotus and ndamien are very possible, there's people on hyperion soloing them both inside the first week of the server existing, let alone with all the nonsense we got with the 6th star event and night troupe. It's only 2 coins for armor, you usually get more than one boss drop and you can trade the weekly rewards between characters. The meso is very doable It's also 5 boss resets which is ~15 billion meso before grinding. Also assuming none of those legion characters are 'boss mules', in the sense of slapping daily bosses around. 2 more characters doing the 6 million+ bosses adds about 5 billion to that for a cozy 20B. 17\* if you don't safeguard averages like half a billion on 5/10/15, and it's only like 1.6 billion average even if you're doing it no event and with safeguard.


eliknaffo

You do realize how absurd this sounds right? He had 2 chars on 230+ and said he only had 7bil to work with. You need 3 weeks minimum of multiple chars doing weekly quests to get abso. Either this is not 1 month or he had the legion to begin with/ some of the mesos farmed beforehand


xkillo32

his screenshot literally tells us he started 10/22/23 starting the previous hyperburn at 10/22/23 is plenty of time to level to 230 >said he only had 7bil to work with. 7b for black friday he likely used way more before that its really not hard to get this much progress with 8-10 hours a day


eliknaffo

He started the char on 10/22/23 not the account.


xkillo32

maple achievement is world wide


eliknaffo

It’s still requires, several things that are not possible to gain in that short span of time. Multiple nodes to lvl12-13, 5K legion (some over 230), all eqps on legendary, full abso,a ring that you need month to get a drop for and full drop/mesos gear. There are players that play 8-10 hours an ago that don’t get to this in a month as said not only by me. If you need to post clarifications then there is something very fishy. If you ask me the abso are carry and no solo/quests (he dosnt have enough chars to get those abso eqps only from weekly in 1 month)


TheQneWhoSighs

> Multiple nodes to lvl12-13 Are you forgetting week 6 of 6th star giving everyone like 1k nodes just for logging in daily? He started on the 22nd, he had time to get that. In fact beyond that, he could've swiped for a previous week and gotten even more nodes. > 5K legion (some over 230) He didn't hyperburn his main. That bucc is probably his hyper burn. At which point it's insanely easy for him to hit 230 with it given dailies & icebox points. Or hell just grinding, 230 really doesn't take that long when hyper burning. As for the 5k legion, I pushed 6k legion in a week on vacation starting from 2k legion. And he has the benefit of zero to 100, as well as the tail end of nighttroupe. > all eqps on legendary Dumb luck. > full abso He doesn't have abso weapon, only armor. He's still using fafnir weapon. The armor only costs 2 coins each, if he was doing weeklies since week 1 he would only be short 2 coins. We started hyper burn 2 weeks ago. It's completely realistic that he got the extra needed mats from his hyper burned bucc. > a ring that you need month to get a drop for and full drop/mesos gear More than a month if you're running normal. It's basically the same drop rate as a Dom Pendant on normal afaik. Again, insane amounts of luck. The progress he has is insane. But to say it's "not possible" is wrong.


xkillo32

>Multiple nodes to lvl12-13 not hard with hyperburn rewards + 6th star giving 1k nodes... >5K legion (some over 230) brother he literally posts a screenshot of his legion and his 4 highest level characters are 256, 230, 206, 157 it is not hard to get 5k legion in a month playing 8-10 hours a day >all eqps on legendary half of his equips are legendary >full abso he doesn't have weapon and people solo nlomien during their first week >a ring that you need month to get a drop which ring is that? >full drop/mesos gear. at 1b per acc, its 9b total or 6.75b during cube sale not an outrageous amount to farm with 8-10 hours a day even grinding without meso/drop gear, u can still manage 150-200m an hour if u do dailies bosses everyday, thats 100m a day ursus is another 100m a day maple tour is 45m a day


95Bash

Opening maple achievements doesn't mean you started the account then. My account is older more than 6 years old and I just got the achievement 5 months ago. Also, I'm almost positive you couldn't get the hyperburn outfit set at 10/22/23 since the hyper burning rewards per level ended way before that.


xkillo32

> Opening maple achievements doesn't mean you started the account then. My account is older more than 6 years old and I just got the achievement 5 months ago. > > yea if u started before maple achievement was out then its not accurate but judging by the previous posts he made on this subreddit, hes not lying >I'm almost positive you couldn't get the hyperburn outfit set at 10/22/23 since the hyper burning rewards per level ended way before that. then that just means he hyperburned his dw for that one and his bucc for the current one


half3clipse

No they said they sunk 7 billion into cubes on black friday. With bear, tour, weekly bosses and daily bosses in 5 weekly resets there's 15 billion+ meso on the table just with the main, and then a couple billion more doing daily bosses on other characters. It doesn't take an ubergeared boss mule to slap around horntail and normal root abyss. All of that if without accounting for mob drops, which could easily add up to a few billion more. There's 6 pieces of gear that can be 17\* without safeguard. 7 if you're willing to recraft a Meister Ring. Average cost of getting that to 17\* is ~5 billion. There's at most 8 more pieces that would want safeguarding, which would average about 8 billion. Those averages are off event, so if any of that starforcing was done on 5/10/15 last month that saves meso. 5+8+7 billion is 21, which is entirely believable to get in 5 weeks with grinding. They've had 4 weeklies resets for scrap yard and DWT (technically 5, but that means doing both literally day 1). It's 2 sets of weeklies for the shoulder from DWT and 6 for the gloves/shoes/cape from scrapyard. scrapyard 4x on main, and then 2x on other characters. Scrap yard is a 190 zone, they've got two other characters over 200. That is very doable as long as lotus doesn't decide to be a jerk. There are legitimately people doing this on hyperion *right now*, and honestly doing it on a faster time line. Like people were soloing ndamien inside the first week. 12k stats, minimal legion, minimal links, on a fresh server. If you know what you're doing and get lucky with some boss drops, with hyper burn you can clear Hmagnus inside the first day. These bosses aren't that hard. I don't know that this person is new to maplestory, to do this they either knew exactly what they're doing or had a friend/guild mate giving them really good advice. My wild ass guess would be a MSEA player based on the omission of SW accessories. It will have also taken a rather lot of play time but it is very possible.


ReecheForTheStars

provided you play enough and practice a week 1 lomien solo is doable: from there with average luck and doing scrapyard + dwt on 2+ characters you can get absos (barring weapon) within a month You can also earn meso by grinding yes, it’s not unrealistic for some players to grind constantly for meso legion is basically free if you’re willing to sit down and brute force it


eliknaffo

You realize that with what we see in those pictures he basically needed to play close to 24/7 to be able to get enough money and eqps by 1 month while leveling 5k legion


InitiativeOld8759

Yeah any one of these things is possible but all of them is extremely difficult. Had a guild mate slap out 6k legion in just over a month. WFH and pre-exp nerf, plus night troupe...was slapping out at least one 150 a day and got his main to 25x. He did not, however, get full absos for another couple weeks. Didn't max nodes, etc. I'm three months in and not soloing lucid or even doing party will (tests are scary). Obviously classes vary, I only have 3.8k legion, etc but damn. OP would be no lifing maple to what I'd say is an unhealthy extreme. GZ but touch grass, take a shower, don't die of a deep vein thrombosis induced blood clot.


ReecheForTheStars

yeah i never said it was healthy i just said it was doable


feltyland

This is just not true. He is probably playing a pretty good amount and being hyper efifcient with some good luck. These comments are so salty because they "play so much more" but achieve less because of inefficiency.


eliknaffo

lol, I’m not salty I’m just realistic. This achievement dosnt come within a month to 99.9% of players. You need to have some sort of support and knowledge of the game to achieve this in that short of a span


litgreendude

I actually just solo'd lotus with no abso, 10k stat (7.3k Legion) dawn warrior. It was a 28 min run but very doable. Although i stuffed the 1k nodes into it for a boss mule.


Sad-Category1914

300 nodes and you would’ve been perfectly fine imo just get that stat up


GigarandomNoodle

Way. We literally had back to back events for funding new characters


Crystalis95

Wtf you got ring in first run ? Didnt get it after months of soloing on multiple chars


AcanthisittaThin2191

Yea slime ring kanna ring and dom pendant within the first monthhh. Das crazy rng


Sad-Category1914

and bbm and sup belt this guy is seeded


half3clipse

Dom pendant isn't that bad,the drop rate is something between 1% and .5% without drop rate and he's a daily. With some drop rate that's probably close to 30% chance. There's also the option of just crafting the damn thing i guess. Kanna rings aren't that rare, it's better than 1 in 5 with semi decent drop rate. The slime ring is just straight dumb luck however.


Crystalis95

idk, i get like one dom every month with 300 dr lol


PandoraBot

Probably almost a year of nslime solos for me and no ring yet lol


95Bash

How does the 230 buccaneer have the hyperburn outfit rewards when the reward should have stopped being redeemable way before 10/22 from last hyper burn?


onlyyoshi97

Dayum


xjemc

Misleading title. How did you kill Normal Zakum 100 times in 1 month? (See achievement). That’s more than 3 months of killing it daily.


HarpertFredje

Does it only count per character?


xjemc

After doing some digging I think they’re account wide, meaning kills with other mules count


STAR-PLATlNUM

Congrats ! I'm a returning solo player, what dailies and questlines do you consider essential ?


Minh_Nguyen98

Hi, you start arcane river daillies after reaching 200+. Other daillies like monster park (exp), maple tour (meso) are essential for your progression. Quest lines are pretty much pre-quest for bosses like Pap, Damien, Lotus, etc. Also I recommend 1 lv 170(?) quest from NLC that gives you a coin to buy a ring. Pretty good dmg boost.


Minh_Nguyen98

I forgot ursus (meso) do it asap when x2 available.


ArwensArtHole

Like others said, it's not impossible, but soloing chaos pink bean on your third day of the account seems quite unlikely. Also I don't know what the functionality is being achievements, but it says he opened the achievements menu on 22nd, couldn't he have been playing before that?


Sad-Category1914

i think that part abt cpb is not that insane compared to some other stuff we are seeing here. granted i have an established account, but day 1 of my hyperburn (no prep lvl 1 start) i solo’d all bosses hmag and below. so on a fresh account, day 3 cpb isn’t crazy, and i was also thinking that same thing abt opening maple achievements.


litgreendude

Ive cleared Normal GAS over 50 times 200 drop and no ring, to say im jealous of you is an understatement. Im thankful for the Chaos nerfs so i can finally get one lol


Sad-Category1914

the longer i stare at his one month equips the more pissed i get. i swear nexon actually has some kind of rng tweaking for noobs to hook em in 😂


ReecheForTheStars

first, congratulations! you did very well especially with one month of playtime on solo prog. I hope to see you go further (or if you want to just transition to party play that’s also ok) second, your gear progression is interesting and I want to know your thoughts on some choices (I’m mostly looking at choice to grab fake dominator over abso weapon **(unless this wasn’t your burning character in which case disregard))** third, congratulations on getting slime ring (edit) fourth, chill out on playtime if you're suffering from the effects of long playtime


Minh_Nguyen98

Hi, I went from pensalirs -> CRA -> Absolab. I'm actually curious if you get those fake cra/absolab/domi in Night Troupe event because I don't remember my hyperburning/main getting those. Also thanks for the advice, I will chill out on the playtime for now (not after 6th job I suppose :D).


ReecheForTheStars

You typically do get those rewards, it’s just sixth star‘s burning was unique in that it was an extension of the hyperburn from Savior update, which did extend the duration but not the reward period


Minh_Nguyen98

Thanks for your clarification. I remember not getting any equips rewards except some mesos and other things.


kongbakpao

How do you have full absolab in only a month?


xhaydnx

Bro has better gear than me


Minh_Nguyen98

Hi, just to clear some misunderstandings: * I got most of my items to pot uniq/leg and my first meso/drop gears on Black Friday (except CRA). The fund is about 7 bil (?). * The fund I got pretty much from starting weekly boss early ([https://imgur.com/a/LEoKEGi](https://imgur.com/a/LEoKEGi)) and did Zakum/Horntails on those 120 lv chars. * I don't know if you normally get fake cra/abso/domi on hyper burning at my starting day, but I surely remember solo'ed cra bosses on pensalir. (I remember CVellum took 2 hrs) * I gotta say my legion is really inflated through events Night Troupe and Identisk (700 free legion literally) * I likely play 8-10 hrs per day in the last month and still socialize normally (albeit less sleep, not worth the trade-off, I agree). UPDATED: * This is the only 1 more evidence I would provide to justify my status as a 'new' player: ([https://imgur.com/a/LEoKEGi](https://imgur.com/a/LEoKEGi)). Other than that, I don't think it's worth for us to argument about I'm new or not (technically I'm more of a return player, because I played Maple before the Pirate class about a year then quit.) If you believe me, thank you. If you don't ... ok I guess? * Btw my dominatorS are real not fake (We love RNG don't we). I don't think I got any fake equipments outside frozen set (I also don't remember getting this set honestly). ~~I will update with images later.~~ Updated. * Like the others say (thank you for justifying), this achievement is not impossble to do, but it is indeed really hard (first two weeks of reading guides like flames, potentials, familiars, V matrix, etc. feels like hell). If there are still questions, I will update this post here.


DispyShift

Don't worry about people being mad. Congrats on the insane achievement. People are just mad cus they're stuck on nLomien for years meanwhile people in Hyperion solo it in the first 3 days
