Mercedes is pretty awesome. Nearly have Ishtar's Ring Maxed which would leave me with just Spike Royale, Lightning Edge, Maple Warrior, and Strong Will.
Failed 2 Ishtar 20 books (rotten luck there) and finally succeeded this morning.
Holy fucking shit. Azawan Hard is really fucking Hard. Normal was cake walk but then Hard and it's like a massive difficulty scale. I can't solo Attack or Occupy mode and I need to for a quest. Couldn't find anyone last night willing to stay still for just a few moment to talk. They all seemed dead set on soloing something :/
Oh well, at least it's slowly getting my experience up. Also Von Bon is hard when people are using really flashy attacks and you can't see the bosses missle that he's firing at you :(

In terms of who looks awesomer (not cuter), Aran's definitely at the top. :blush:

Now that I think about it, she woke up in a icey cave, on an Arctic island, pony tail... seriously, how come no one saw her similarity with Korra before? O_o

Just reached level 64 with Aran, any suggestion how to train? I don't trust the in game training guide, there's got to be better way to level than grinding on desert rabbits.

Got My Angelic Buster to 4th job. Thanks to doing all the Nova quests I think I have a great grasp of what is going on.
They did a pretty damn good job tying in the Nova lore into the existing black mage lore.
At this point I think we've hit all the Black Mage Commanders
1) Hillia
2) Arkarium
3) Orchid
4) Lotus
5) Von Leon
6) Demon Slayer (ex commander)
7) Magnus
We also have all 5 of the Legendary Heroes and how the black mage got sealed.
The Black Mage's power has been growing for a long time now and looks like it's almost ready to be released.
We now have more history on the Black Mage which suggests that he comes from Grandis, which is where Angel Buster and Kaiser come from, and is known as General Dramoor.
The World Tree has also revealed herself (we already knew she was somewhere in sleepywood and now we know that she was hiding in Root Abyss)
Unfournately we have no idea who the Demon with the eyepatch is but can assume he's more powerful than Crimson Queen/Pierre/Von Bon/Vellum as he made those 4 the Seal Guardians of the World Tree.
I think once we find out who that guy is, there isn't any other story pieces left to do before releasing the Black Mage. Unless they come up with yet another detail like more Grandis/Nova history :lol:
I can't stop saying Root Abyss. It sounds so fucking awesome!

We do know who the guy with the eye patch is; it's the Demon Slayer/Avenger's brother, the one that DS thought was killed by the Black Mage's commanders and caused DS to rebel.

Ah! I see, I must have missed that part or haven't completed the quest that would reveal that information :(
Next up might be the Black Mage himself then. The question is where will he show himself. Will a new section of the Temple of Time show up and he'll take up residence there again? That's the first place I'd assume he would appear in anyways seeing that's where he was sealed at.
It's going to involve a lot of Maple Alliance and Cyngus Knight stuff that's for sure.

MapleStory Cygnus Returns & Inkwell’s Secret Diary – Striker Preparations Complete!

I feel completely reborn?!
This entry shows us the new (well… reorganized) Striker job! It seems that they might be using both water and electric skills? That seems sort of cool, haha. On the bottom you’ll see the logo for the Cygnus Returns update. I guess this is going to be our string of patches until the rest of the Knights are completed.
[video=youtube;9cqJqCeApoA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=9cqJqCeApoA[/video]
A small trailer was released, this time showing Cygnus’ awakening, after finding out that Shinshoo has died! I wonder if there’s a longer version of this…[/Quote]

Gerald Darmoor.
Fixed.
The dude with the eyepatch is Damien, Demon Slayer/Avenger's brother who was thought to have been murdered by Arkarium. Its hinted directly in the beginning of Root Abyss, when Vellum kicks your character's ass and even baffles when ur char tries to "compare" DS to Damien.

Try jesters at New leaf city they give 1.3k exp each kill and they are only level 70 monsters.
Or if your strong enough you can just skip jesters and train at aliens also in nlc they give 3k exp but there level 95 monsters.
And you won't be able to go in the alien area till level 90 unless you have a bishop friend that can door you inside.

Can't go to Aliens till lvl 90 anyway, unless a 90+ is able to smuggle you in. Not sure if that works though.

Only hero I haven't test driven yet. Oh right, and Demon Slayers are pretty mobile. I guess Mages can just spam Teleport around to avoid shiz.
Not sure on Kaiser (didn't make one) and archers/warriors tend to be slow.
When you try lum, mage teleport just doesnt cut it anymore because lum blows it out of the water, not to mention... NA lum is more OP than KR lum, because we are NOT forced to switch between light and dark. I have made one of every class and have the max amount of slots, with very high knowledge of almost all of the classes.
(Cept thieves/warriors)
All i know is, marksmen and shadowers are going to be crazy after hyper skills, and i have a wind archer and thuder breaker at 120 waiting for the new uncap.
