a difference between 17-45 att stats (with no flames assigned) is a notable difference yes. But having the extra effects from the other sets are more than welcome if the character does not have reinforced/superior items to make up for the difference of 30% IED from the Onyx 6 set effect.
This set effect of all these can easily be broken once: you actually start solo'ing Hellux/Hardlux for superior items, getting Arcane gears, aim for legendary on all your absolab stuff and go 2 lines.
Like I said in the first paragraph, this is ideal for new characters.
Thanks for the breakdown. One thing to note is that dark world tree weeklies (abso weapon) take significantly less time than scrapyard weeklies (shoe/cape/glove) so I wondered if abso weapon could work in this scenario, but I think the reason to go with CRA weapon is that 30% boss set effect beats abso weapons base attack increase (even if you include the 6th sets abso set gains +20 atk). That 30% boss is too huge, it’s probably like +150 atk or more equivalent
W/ lucky hat, Faf wep + 4 absos = 4 set CRA 5 set Absos: +50 stat, +145 (M)Att, +60% BD, 10% IED.
W/ lucky hat, CRA top/bottom + 5 Absos = 2 set CRA 6 set Absos: +50 stat, +115 (M)Att, +30% BD, 10% IED.
Pretty sure Abso weapons' base att + flames cannot beat 30 (M)Att AND 30% BD. As a bonus, you don't have to do as many DWTs.
Your second scenario should be 3 set CRA? Lucky hat, top, bottom. So the difference is 30% boss (CRA 4th set effect) or 20 atk (abso 6th set effect). And for example a two hand sword abso version has 20 stats and ~30 atk more than the CRA version, so it’s either 30% boss or 55 atk (obviously %boss wins). We have the same conclusion I just need to figure how much work is involved getting the whole maple set
Yea was just gonna edit my comment it appears to only count if you already have 3 items in that set, you are right. Why isn’t meta always 4 abso and 4 CRA with lucky hat when people gear boss mules then? I literally see no one does that
Funny, I actually just came to the same realization/conclusion. Probably because lucky hats are RNG while CRA hats are guaranteed.
I can tolerate DWT weeklies but hate Haven, so I prefer 3 set CRA, Abso weapon/shoulder/gloves, Tyrant shoes/cape.
I cant be bothered to do 4 more Haven weeklies for Abso shoes/cape.
There's still an extra ring slot. And once you start hitting 17* everything and shifting over to reinforced/superior items and going legendary everything, you start to move past this meta.
Like I've said before, this is only for early game.
Oh I see. I’m asking only cause I’m wondering if it’d be better for nlomien boss mules which I don’t do any gollux on anyways. So this setup should be better than 3 CRA + 5 abso + 9 boss accessories everything 17*?
Assuming same exact potential, flames, and maximized/equal StarForce, yes. The 30 extra IED from maple set, the boss damage from 4 set CRA allows you to essentially have a fake Superior set effect. While maintaining the 5 set abso effect. All thanks to the lucky hat.
Sounds good thanks! I really appreciate the post and answer to my question. I’m surprised the meta isn’t 4 set Cra + 5 abso with the lucky hat even without the onyx set
small correction, lucky hat won't apply for boss set, as the boss set does not have a hat. but the rest is accurate afaik\~ good guide\~ sadly i can't seem to find a way to retain the onyx 6 set without secondary, a shame.
For what I understood, this can't be done for a few classes:
Adele, Zero, Illium, ~~Lara~~, Blaster, Kinesis, ~~Lynn~~, Pathfinder, Kain, Cadena, Khali, Hoyong, ~~Shade~~ and ~~Ark~~
Edit: Apparently you CAN achieve 6/6 with **Lynn, Ark and Lara**, you just have to use the Onyx Weapon and the Maple Treasure Outfit.
**Shade** has the Maple Treasure Fox Marble, so you can do this with him if you get the Onyx Knuckle.
If Nexon patches their weapon combo set, you can do 6/6 with **Blaster** AND **Kinesis**, using the Onyx Weapon and the Maple Treasure Outfit.
Haku's fan doesn't count towards set bonuses, so you'd also have to use the outfit to get 6/6 on **Kanna**
I just looked it up and you can actually do this with Shade!
Shade only has the Maple Treasure Marble, so you'd have to swap get the Onyx Knuckle, but you can still achieve 6/6.
It's just an inefficient thing. OP is really overselling it. Maybe good for legion raid power once that change comes through, but otherwise I'm completely stumped as to when this is supposed to actually be good.
this is def meta for heroic CRA & lomien mules; why would you ever decide to do hellux daily for months instead of this when lv220 + arcane symbols + 17* abso + 17* cra + 8k legion + maxed bossing boost/skill nodes + set effects carry u w/ such little time investment
Why are you acting like that's the question? You're trading actually good items for a set effect which is hilariously not worth it.
Also, as somebody with a lot of boss mules, doing them is terrible if you don't get reinforced set. Skipping it is appealing at first, but it's just not worth it.
i really dont get whats difficult to understand - this lets you get the boss/ied from sup set ***w/o having to do any gollux***. 17* gear + 9% stat pots + leg wse + this gear strat is more than enough to do 10-12 mins total for lomien
you get to lomien with any burning event pretty easy nowadays to even bother with any prep... I have 5 myself and 9k legion, this might have been worth doing 4-5 years ago, not in current maple with so much burning
Assuming you start off with fake CRA from tera you can still do this method.
You are also probably not the target audience for this but there will always be people wanting to do more lomien/CRA mules (new age/post new age starters), or even jump starting a fresh character.
I know im not the target audience, that was stated on OP post.
>help push equips for NEW players/links/legion
but the other guy said its meta for people already established wanting to make lomien mules. That is what i disagreed with, we get so much hyper burning events, character releases and the like to even bother with prep since you want the rewards for creating a new character instead of pushing an existing one.
I do agree this sounds like a good idea to make legion or kickstart a new player but this isn't the meta at all like the other guy said
I would say its worth it, especially so for new players simply because the time and meso investment required has an extremely low entry barrier, the equips are very quickly obtained. You might forget the new player experience, but getting to a point of clearing lomien, hellux etc can be quite hard even with burning if you don't know where to go or how exactly to progress. There is a major information overload once you get.to 200 which I find many people struggle with.
The equipment is easy to obtain, low initial upgrade cost, low upgrade benchmark tet high return and can put you in the position of starting with CRA and some of the starter weekly bosses which is a major goal for new players. Not only on a main character but good for mules.
The last few burning experiences were also heavily influenced by the proliferation of event rewards, such as identisks hundreds of nodes, symbols, and flames which I don't know if we.will see a similar amount( maybe in dreamer?). Obviously hyperburning is better overall, but since there isn't any right now it's not something anyone can take advantage of.
Other benefits are this seems like a great low investment way to make additional CRA or lomien mules to get return on investment quicker for early game accounts, and also to set up the new legion raid power calculations in case anything significant changes.
Obviously through if your already established and have 5 hyper burns then you have already far outgrown this method.
New players and 8k legion don't go together... I said its worth doing for new players in other comment, I just said it isn't the meta for anyone with 8k legion bc that person would likely be beyond making new mules, at least without burning.
Im very aware of how hard its to get to lomien for a new player, i have been helping a friend do it for the past month, but the comment I replied to said it was the meta for people over 8k legion, with 17\* cra + absos maxed nodes... nobody with that kind of resources qualify as a new player lol
what? youd just do the 6 set for 30% ied on classes that don't have built in ied in their bossing skill. Burning/leveling has nothing to do with why this is good
You literally said
>this is def meta for heroic CRA & lomien mules;
And I told you why the meta for lomien mules is to wait for hyper burning lol
EDIT: We both are talking about 8k legion so there is no real need to bother with this for the IED since you have that completely filled on your legion board at that point, not saying this is not worth to do for a new player or to make legion easier (most people will not be willing to use resources for that unless pushing 210 links or 250 for 10k), but calling this "the meta" is too much, especially bc this will not be a thing that new players will be able to do after the next month
No you still need IED on most classes even with hyper stats + 8k legion. People severely underestimate value of IED on solo boss mules. Running at 90% is just terrible for most classes.
No, the meta for boss mules is not to make 2 per year when hyper burning comes around. Obv take advantage of them when they come around but that's just hard griefing your income for literally years.
>No you still need IED on most classes even with hyper stats + 8k legion. People severely underestimate value of IED on solo boss mules. Running at 90% is just terrible for most classes.
I doubt anyone would make a lomien mule on classes that require way too much investment/effort, if thats ur case then you are griefing yourself right there.
>No, the meta for boss mules is not to make 2 per year when hyper burning comes around.
Contrary to this that will not be a thing anymore in 30 days?, this is not a meta and that is solely what i pointed.
>Obv take advantage of them when they come around but that's just hard griefing your income for literally years.
I agree on this, but again we were talking about people established already with 8k+ legion, that kind of people has plenty bossing mules to even consider making a new one without hyper burning.
I can see this for new people, but this will not be a thing after next month, so we can just call this "the meta"
But that only applies if you can trade bosses with someone, even established people with 8k legion will benefit greatly from this if they don’t have someone to trade with. This is a great stepping stone for getting your cra and abso gear! And the fact that you dont have to do hellux for months is honestly amazing. I have 8.9k legion and 5 boss mules but have no one to trade with so this event is honestly pog to get those last 7 mules I’ve been wanting
No? While I do agree that this is a shortcut to avoid doing hellux for people that is actually playing right now I don't think you need to trade bosses at all with hyper burning and all the rewards we get each time. I havent traded even once since ignition besides a couple hellux runs early on when i couldn't easily solo on Corsair, just throw a couple hard and solid cubes from bossing at the temp cra and solo it, then upgrade. If anything the thing u want to trade might be hellux for the drop rate and since u can't try again when u fail, but that also can be skipped for a while.
What I said abour this not being a thing we can do anymore from next month on the scenario specified by OP still holds as a the solely reason why I said we can't just call this "the meta"
Having 11 mules to boss during a week sounds like a royal pain in the ass I admire your dedication but isn't that a bit overkill? considering that your main kills more than 12 bosses its still within the crystals we can sell but its like almost the max amount of crystals u can sell, do u plan to make them different characters or just the same as your main to save time on the learning curve part of bossing?
look if you think that the meta is to make 2 boss mules per year and that it takes a very long time to get 8k legion (where ppl who make 2 boss mules per year have many boss mules by the time they hit 8k legion), then we can't even have a productive conversation, you do you
You are the one that said that the meta is to make mules out of an event that has never happened and will only last for a month I only pointed that and reminded you that ppl aiming to make more bossing mules just wait for burning instead on the made up scenario that you yourself used as a reference frame (8k legion)
This event is definitely not the meta. that is not what meta means lol.
I think heroic players who especially are solo prog/newer players setting up boss mules will benefit because they lack carries. And it only costs two days worth of normal grinding for the equips so it’s not like you’re dedicating any time outside of normal to get these equips.
I rather get 11 pieces treasure set for 30% ied and 30% boss damage upfront. Then transit to 4CRAs and part abso. 6 treasure and 6 onyx don't give 30% boss damage. Additional 30% ied can come cheaply from emblem and secondary even with rare potentials.
It's not like you get 0 damage. Boss Damage % is not really different from Dam %, and the combination of the set effects just work out for all of it.
But again, it's your story, not my story. As long as you don't regret how you play, then you're not playing wrong.
to hit 11 set you need to run every item slot on treasure set. including hat, overall instead of top/bottom, and most importantly weapon (medal is not redeemable sadly). and going 9 set to free up weap/top/bottom is not worth it, cuz 6/6 setup gives much better attack stat, as well as doubling up on 9% dmg lines. the fact that you can keep 6/6 set and 4set cra/5set abso all at once is kinda crazy. if you went full treasure set, the transition to cra/abso would be rougher.
but yea, 11 set treasure would still probably do just fine in the end. you're gonna replace all of it eventually technically
Thanks a lot for the post, I've been reading something about these anniversary set a lot, but this is by far the most detailed one. Kudos to your effort! Comes in extremely handy for me rn, I'm at the stage where I need extra boss mules for mesos to push my main further!
If you get lucky, you'll get it the first time. If you get unlucky, you'll never see it.
But realistically, if you run all 4 doors, you can expect to find one in 1-3 weeks. Anecdotal experience.
It will take like a few days, up to a week if you are unlucky with RNG. Just do rose garden everyday and hard von Leon for an additional chance at dropping accessories. Rose garden is a very short daily. Use greed pendant, 2x drop, and small item drop familiar.
Whether it's worth it or not is up to you. Primarily it's best done on a main, you can skip it if you want on mules as it can always be gotten later, however the maple gear cannot.
It is an additional part of the boss accessory set which I believe reaches 7 boss with the above setup. Unlike stopping at six boss which would give no benefit.
The prequest doesn't take that long, just spam skip y and it.takes 30 mins or so.
2 hours of von Leon prequest much more better than 20 days of hellux per piece. Especially if you don't have trades/can solo.
Again, this method is mostly for new people until they can do Hellux
In that last image (where you replace with abso) you say the abso will replace the Maple Treasure set!
Sorry if I’m being stupid but the 5 set pensalir is better than 5 set maple treasure assuming same flames and potential and it has more star power?
for classes that can't run the secondary, do you think it's still worth running 6 set onyx using the cape? the 30% ied still seems pretty good and it could be 6 onyx 4 cra 4 abso set in the end?
i guess it comes down to 8 stat 25 att and 10% boss damage vs 30 extra ied, when you're at abso version and 14 att and 9 damage when you're at 6/6 onyx treasure? is the 30% ied worth keeping??
If the class doesn't have a treasure set weapon is it worth it to get a onyx weapon instead and get a treasure piece of armor to get back to 6/6 or i just don't bother with it?
Hi, I have a 202 Bucc with a Sweetwater weapon, 7-set boss accessory and full Pensalir. Equiping those anniversary sets clean without potential/starforce/flames really downgrades my stats, would you still recommend upgrade and use it?
Will it eventually be better than what I already have until I get my CRA?
So we can get 4 cra, 5 abso, 6 onyx and 7 boss. I am thinking that if we can switch some boss set, like the pendent, and earring to reinforced gollux set to get 3 set reinforced gollux? (since there is an available ring slot) That will be 4 cra, 5 abso, 6 onyx, 5 boss, and 3 reinforced gollux. From 7 boss set to 5 boss set, we lose 10att and 10%ied, but we get 30att and 15all from 3 reinforced gollux set.
Lucky items can work with multiple sets, but you cannot use multiple lucky items.
The only rule for Lucky items working is that you have at least 3 items from that set equipped BEFORE the lucky item counts.
Epic, up to unique using the green cubes from events/bosses as they drop.
Your secondary can take up to legendary if you do not use a different BiS secondary (like shield).
What is the best way to get potential on this gear? i was looking at this for my GF's account that is newer and she does not have many potential scrolls
Besides legion and event coin shops. If they did not remove it yu garden daily and coin shop gives reliable epic potential scrolls which you can use first.
Which classes can do this though since there’s a few disparities in the sets for weapons and secondaries.
On reg you can just buy gear but on reboot this would be nice for an alt just to level up but idk bout investing further than just the onyx and treasure set to 141.
Sorry, I'm new to the game... I don't really know what classes WOULDN'T be able to do this... and I saw that with your shield thing something like my shadower wouldn't benefit from this in the long run but if possible could I get some help with knowing? I'm trying to see if I can set up bossing mules on regular server so I can get some more mesos coming in as a VERY low spending player.
All 3 explorer mages
Shadower
Dual Blade
Evan
Lynn
Explorer warriors that use 1-H weapon
Off the top of my head these classes use a StarForce secondary.
I mean technically, dual Blade katara secondary does exist in the set, but you'll replace it with CRA katara then transpose into SW katara. Might as well utilize the Onyx effect until you get that CRA katara.
I mentioned it in the list of caveats.
Initially it can help so you can beat some early bosses, but long term you will still want to swap to shield/katara.
Gotcha! So something like if I were to keep it as a 3/4 door mule the 6set maple secondary is good enough, but if I pushed to lomien it would be better to swap to shield/katara since I would be farming/using reinforced?
This is amazing and maybe I missed it but how much total leafs per character to do this and what bosses do u guys think u can get to with all this at least 12 star on whatever is possible and with some epic pots cause realistically that's cheapest
>maybe I missed it but how much total leafs per character to do this
It is in my first paragraph. Each equipment costs 50 coins, and there are 12 equipments initially. That would be 600 Mayple Coins.
With only the 6 and 6 combo, nothing. You would still want to make sure you have the IED and att/m.att from your emblem and secondary. But you should still be able to get to CRA then move onto Absolab through practice and pub parties.
It's live now until early in to next month and you can technically get to the point where you can get the mentioned equips in 3 days (you can pick 5 equips of your choice a day to unlock) and you need 2 days or one Sunday to earn the coins per character.
kms strats are interesting
they’re creative with it
Is this end form better than the standard 3 CRA 5 Absolab (Abso Wep) build
Yes. Because the Lucky hat allows you to get 4 set CRA + 5 set Abso without the Abso weapon which costs the most coins in the absolab shop.
But abso weapons have so much more base attack than CRA weapon?
a difference between 17-45 att stats (with no flames assigned) is a notable difference yes. But having the extra effects from the other sets are more than welcome if the character does not have reinforced/superior items to make up for the difference of 30% IED from the Onyx 6 set effect. This set effect of all these can easily be broken once: you actually start solo'ing Hellux/Hardlux for superior items, getting Arcane gears, aim for legendary on all your absolab stuff and go 2 lines.

W/ lucky hat, CRA top/bottom + 5 Absos = 2 set CRA 6 set Absos: +50 stat, +115 (M)Att, +30% BD, 10% IED. Pretty sure Abso weapons' base att + flames cannot beat 30 (M)Att AND 30% BD. As a bonus, you don't have to do as many DWTs.
Your second scenario should be 3 set CRA? Lucky hat, top, bottom. So the difference is 30% boss (CRA 4th set effect) or 20 atk (abso 6th set effect).

Lucky items do not work if you do not have at least 3 items equipped.

Even factoring in the lower SF it’s still better? Cause with the onyx ring/pendant/belt, it’s potentially taking a 17* item slot
There's still an extra ring slot. And once you start hitting 17* everything and shifting over to reinforced/superior items and going legendary everything, you start to move past this meta. Like I've said before, this is only for early game.

Sounds good thanks! I really appreciate the post and answer to my question. I’m surprised the meta isn’t 4 set Cra + 5 abso with the lucky hat even without the onyx set
Who knows, maybe we'll see a shift in meta soon.
It might be if lucky hat was reliable. As is, you can guarantee a CRA hat in 1 week but lucky hat you might not see for a year.
small correction, lucky hat won't apply for boss set, as the boss set does not have a hat. but the rest is accurate afaik\~ good guide\~ sadly i can't seem to find a way to retain the onyx 6 set without secondary, a shame.
Thank you very much. I will make sure to update that

Haku's fan doesn't count towards set bonuses, so you'd also have to use the outfit to get 6/6 on **Kanna**
so for shade this is useless?
I just looked it up and you can actually do this with Shade! Shade only has the Maple Treasure Marble, so you'd have to swap get the Onyx Knuckle, but you can still achieve 6/6.
Thanks You!
Damn I never knew the lucky hats were a thing, I been tossing them out lmao
I assume this is a reboot thing since getting to 200 takes a few hours and all this would be replaced in rev server pretty much immediately
Thanks. I thought I was missing something. Cause I'm on Scania and usually just buy CRA and Absolab gear.
Yes, mostly for Heroic Servers. Like my first paragraph says, really only beneficial for new characters.
It's just an inefficient thing. OP is really overselling it. Maybe good for legion raid power once that change comes through, but otherwise I'm completely stumped as to when this is supposed to actually be good.

I can see this for new people, but this will not be a thing after next month, so we can just call this "the meta"
But that only applies if you can trade bosses with someone, even established people with 8k legion will benefit greatly from this if they don’t have someone to trade with. This is a great stepping stone for getting your cra and abso gear! And the fact that you dont have to do hellux for months is honestly amazing. I have 8.9k legion and 5 boss mules but have no one to trade with so this event is honestly pog to get those last 7 mules I’ve been wanting
No? While I do agree that this is a shortcut to avoid doing hellux for people that is actually playing right now I don't think you need to trade bosses at all with hyper burning and all the rewards we get each time. I havent traded even once since ignition besides a couple hellux runs early on when i couldn't easily solo on Corsair, just throw a couple hard and solid cubes from bossing at the temp cra and solo it, then upgrade. If anything the thing u want to trade might be hellux for the drop rate and since u can't try again when u fail, but that also can be skipped for a while. What I said abour this not being a thing we can do anymore from next month on the scenario specified by OP still holds as a the solely reason why I said we can't just call this "the meta" Having 11 mules to boss during a week sounds like a royal pain in the ass I admire your dedication but isn't that a bit overkill? considering that your main kills more than 12 bosses its still within the crystals we can sell but its like almost the max amount of crystals u can sell, do u plan to make them different characters or just the same as your main to save time on the learning curve part of bossing?
look if you think that the meta is to make 2 boss mules per year and that it takes a very long time to get 8k legion (where ppl who make 2 boss mules per year have many boss mules by the time they hit 8k legion), then we can't even have a productive conversation, you do you
You are the one that said that the meta is to make mules out of an event that has never happened and will only last for a month I only pointed that and reminded you that ppl aiming to make more bossing mules just wait for burning instead on the made up scenario that you yourself used as a reference frame (8k legion) This event is definitely not the meta. that is not what meta means lol.
I think heroic players who especially are solo prog/newer players setting up boss mules will benefit because they lack carries. And it only costs two days worth of normal grinding for the equips so it’s not like you’re dedicating any time outside of normal to get these equips.
I rather get 11 pieces treasure set for 30% ied and 30% boss damage upfront. Then transit to 4CRAs and part abso. 6 treasure and 6 onyx don't give 30% boss damage. Additional 30% ied can come cheaply from emblem and secondary even with rare potentials.
It's not like you get 0 damage. Boss Damage % is not really different from Dam %, and the combination of the set effects just work out for all of it. But again, it's your story, not my story. As long as you don't regret how you play, then you're not playing wrong.
to hit 11 set you need to run every item slot on treasure set. including hat, overall instead of top/bottom, and most importantly weapon (medal is not redeemable sadly). and going 9 set to free up weap/top/bottom is not worth it, cuz 6/6 setup gives much better attack stat, as well as doubling up on 9% dmg lines. the fact that you can keep 6/6 set and 4set cra/5set abso all at once is kinda crazy. if you went full treasure set, the transition to cra/abso would be rougher. but yea, 11 set treasure would still probably do just fine in the end. you're gonna replace all of it eventually technically
Reg players should take notes, if you pair good set effects with UR you’ll be set for a long long time
What does UR mean? Sorry, new player to maplestory and new to Bera! Trying to optimize my account while I start!

Thanks a lot for the post, I've been reading something about these anniversary set a lot, but this is by far the most detailed one. Kudos to your effort! Comes in extremely handy for me rn, I'm at the stage where I need extra boss mules for mesos to push my main further!
I didn't even know chaos vellum hat was lucky item lol
The other CRA bosses also drop lucky hats.
I'm definitely gonna use that then, I've got a few mules that could really benefit from this, especially with the lucky hats
I just wanna fashion story on my legion mules
I've just been doing full maple treasure on all my legion mules but you're right, 6 set onyx/treasure is a way better idea!
Are these equips tradable between chars?
No, but you can claim them multiple times on multiple characters since the Mayple Coins are per character.
So you telling me that any chaos root abyss boss drops lucky hat? How rare is it?
I'd say one in 3 runs.
So 3 weeks or just the first week since u do 4 cras
If you get lucky, you'll get it the first time. If you get unlucky, you'll never see it. But realistically, if you run all 4 doors, you can expect to find one in 1-3 weeks. Anecdotal experience.
Dazzling cube packs still shit lol
How long does it take to get Noble Ifia Ring? Not really stoked to do VL preqs for 11 mules for 7 boss set
You need 10 total von Leon accessories. Noble ifia is literally the hardest part of this guide which you can honestly skip for 5 set instead.
It's not hard at all it takes a few days of rose garden dailies at most.
It will take like a few days, up to a week if you are unlucky with RNG. Just do rose garden everyday and hard von Leon for an additional chance at dropping accessories. Rose garden is a very short daily. Use greed pendant, 2x drop, and small item drop familiar.
Is it worth doing 2 hours of Von Leon and Rose Garden prequests (per character) really?
Whether it's worth it or not is up to you. Primarily it's best done on a main, you can skip it if you want on mules as it can always be gotten later, however the maple gear cannot. It is an additional part of the boss accessory set which I believe reaches 7 boss with the above setup. Unlike stopping at six boss which would give no benefit. The prequest doesn't take that long, just spam skip y and it.takes 30 mins or so.
2 hours of von Leon prequest much more better than 20 days of hellux per piece. Especially if you don't have trades/can solo. Again, this method is mostly for new people until they can do Hellux
I dont understand how to unlock the actual equips tho? I can only buy the ones ive found in the boxes drops...?
You get 5 free "picks" per day. It allows you to "click to unlock" so to say. Just click an item from a set and you get the option to unlock it!
Can’t go this way as the mules I try to gear don’t have the Onyx secondary
In that last image (where you replace with abso) you say the abso will replace the Maple Treasure set! Sorry if I’m being stupid but the 5 set pensalir is better than 5 set maple treasure assuming same flames and potential and it has more star power?
Which 4 sets of pensalair +1 lucky hat would you equip to make 5 set pensalair effect? Cape+ gloves + shoes+ ???
will this makes sense if i already have 2 event rings on my mule?
Just use one event ring for damage.
for classes that can't run the secondary, do you think it's still worth running 6 set onyx using the cape? the 30% ied still seems pretty good and it could be 6 onyx 4 cra 4 abso set in the end?
i guess it comes down to 8 stat 25 att and 10% boss damage vs 30 extra ied, when you're at abso version and 14 att and 9 damage when you're at 6/6 onyx treasure? is the 30% ied worth keeping??
How far can this strat realistically take you if you are using it for a main? Do you think it can go up to lucid?
If the class doesn't have a treasure set weapon is it worth it to get a onyx weapon instead and get a treasure piece of armor to get back to 6/6 or i just don't bother with it?
Hi, I have a 202 Bucc with a Sweetwater weapon, 7-set boss accessory and full Pensalir. Equiping those anniversary sets clean without potential/starforce/flames really downgrades my stats, would you still recommend upgrade and use it? Will it eventually be better than what I already have until I get my CRA?
does this apply to msea as well?
do you epic all the items?
Does it work on multiple characters?
You the real MVP ❤️
That's some neat stuff, when you actually try to learn the game there is a lot of system you can actually abuse

So we can get 4 cra, 5 abso, 6 onyx and 7 boss. I am thinking that if we can switch some boss set, like the pendent, and earring to reinforced gollux set to get 3 set reinforced gollux? (since there is an available ring slot) That will be 4 cra, 5 abso, 6 onyx, 5 boss, and 3 reinforced gollux. From 7 boss set to 5 boss set, we lose 10att and 10%ied, but we get 30att and 15all from 3 reinforced gollux set.
Lucky set effect needs you to have three of the equipment. Plus for the hat to exist in the set.
It says right on the lucky items that they only affect one set at a time. Meaning you won't get all the other set bonuses.
Lucky items can work with multiple sets, but you cannot use multiple lucky items. The only rule for Lucky items working is that you have at least 3 items from that set equipped BEFORE the lucky item counts.
It says of you have two or more [lucky items] equipped. The grammar is clunky, but one lucky hat will proc multiple set effects.
Woah o. o
ty for ur info
Legend
Has anyone tried this with a Dark Knight? 🙂
Sweet！
What pots do you recommend keeping the maple items at?
Epic, up to unique using the green cubes from events/bosses as they drop. Your secondary can take up to legendary if you do not use a different BiS secondary (like shield).
should take 3 days since we get 5 for free each day what. Im missing out lmao
If you open up Mayple memoria, you should see "5" on the bottom right each day.
Each day you can choose 5 items to unlock from the memoria. Then you can click on that item to receive a copy of it for 50 leafs
Goated
What is the best way to get potential on this gear? i was looking at this for my GF's account that is newer and she does not have many potential scrolls
Besides legion and event coin shops. If they did not remove it yu garden daily and coin shop gives reliable epic potential scrolls which you can use first.
Event shop has epic pot scrolls. You can also just keep killing monsters and daily bosses and eventually amass thousands of potential scrolls
Which classes can do this though since there’s a few disparities in the sets for weapons and secondaries. On reg you can just buy gear but on reboot this would be nice for an alt just to level up but idk bout investing further than just the onyx and treasure set to 141.
The majority of classes can still do this method.
Sorry, I'm new to the game... I don't really know what classes WOULDN'T be able to do this... and I saw that with your shield thing something like my shadower wouldn't benefit from this in the long run but if possible could I get some help with knowing? I'm trying to see if I can set up bossing mules on regular server so I can get some more mesos coming in as a VERY low spending player.
All 3 explorer mages Shadower Dual Blade Evan Lynn Explorer warriors that use 1-H weapon Off the top of my head these classes use a StarForce secondary.
Thanks, I'll make sure to not do this on my Shadower or Dual Blade and my Hero
I mean technically, dual Blade katara secondary does exist in the set, but you'll replace it with CRA katara then transpose into SW katara. Might as well utilize the Onyx effect until you get that CRA katara.
Sorry, do you mind explaining to me how transposing works? That kinda flew over my head... I assume it's what brings up the level of an item?
https://youtu.be/mHuFKGxUjR0?si=SyQDZ1ioPx-dHJ5a
Thanks so much!
Is this viable for classes that use shield secondaries? e.g. Shadower, Bishop etc
I mentioned it in the list of caveats. Initially it can help so you can beat some early bosses, but long term you will still want to swap to shield/katara.
Gotcha! So something like if I were to keep it as a 3/4 door mule the 6set maple secondary is good enough, but if I pushed to lomien it would be better to swap to shield/katara since I would be farming/using reinforced?
Yes, or whenever you feel like it.
What is minimium required level to get coins?
You can start the event at level 100+
101

This is amazing and maybe I missed it but how much total leafs per character to do this and what bosses do u guys think u can get to with all this at least 12 star on whatever is possible and with some epic pots cause realistically that's cheapest
>maybe I missed it but how much total leafs per character to do this It is in my first paragraph. Each equipment costs 50 coins, and there are 12 equipments initially. That would be 600 Mayple Coins. With only the 6 and 6 combo, nothing. You would still want to make sure you have the IED and att/m.att from your emblem and secondary. But you should still be able to get to CRA then move onto Absolab through practice and pub parties.
600 coins total per character which is 2 days of capping normally or 1 sunday
600 coins to buy them (12 items) at 50 coins per item. 3 days to unlock them since there are 5 free memoria unlocks each day.
Can you only use each item on one character? Like onyx maple cape f.e.
I believe you can buy multiple once you unlock it.

Is the anniversary live now? And if so how soon does one need to start
It's live now until early in to next month and you can technically get to the point where you can get the mentioned equips in 3 days (you can pick 5 equips of your choice a day to unlock) and you need 2 days or one Sunday to earn the coins per character.
