I Scrolled A Tma 155 Reverse Aeas Hands

Using Item Maker, I used an advanced Sapphire jewel and an intermediate Wisdom crystal. I then scrolled the staff using staff for magic attack 60% scrolls and successfully passed 4 slots.

Pudding At Timeless Temple

Puddingncake training at Path of Memory 1. Her ice damage does neutral damage on the Pupil of Memory as ice attacks do not get the multiplier effect on them.

Another KOC-Related Bug

When using the Maker Skill to diassemble equipment into monster crystals, the weapon is successfully disassembled but you get no monster crystals from the process (only applies to KOC characters).

(Ignore the monster crystals in the inventory as they were made using monster drops.)

Hunting Jr Yetis For Mithril Ore

I guess the drop rate in MapleSEA really sucks now without a twin coupon or the free x2 drop rate period. I hunted at Jr Yetis for close to an hour and a half and only got 2 mithril ores. Dang!

Evan's Using Elemental Wands/Stafffs Read Here

Elemental wands/staffs aren't too useful for Evans because:
1.) Their Ultimate is "Dark" element based, there's currently no Dark wand/staff.
2.) Their Ultimate does half damage on devil-based monsters like Skelegons and Skelosauruses.
3.) Their elements are a mixture of ice, fire, thunder and holy (?).






As you can see in the video, their Ultimate Dark Fog does 50% less damage on Skeles.

This is a blog post that incorporates the blogs Moo2Maple and Absolutely Daniel Yoleh.

What does it mean to be a Bishop in MapleStory? 
Is a Bishop just a "spammer" that spams his Ultimate from the levels of 120 all the way to 200? Is a Bishop just a "party essential" because of his key support skills such as Holy Shield and Ressurection? There's much much more to being a Bishop in MapleStory.

The Core of the Bishop
a.) Adaptability
An all out efficient mage class that has the Ultimate - Genesis which attacks up to 15 monsters with Holy attribute. The Bishop can level fast by just spamming Genesis at Skelegons/Skelesauroses.

A Bishop can sell "spamming" services, which lets a client leech purely from the Bishop for a fee while he spams Genesis for a set duration of time. The Bishop and the client both gain EXP from this.

Parties love the Bishop not just for his Holy Symbol buff but also for his Genesis attacking ability which greatly increases the rate of EXP gained for all party members.

b.) Survivability
The survivability of the Cleric/Priest is carried onto the Bishop and is enhanced further.

Bishops that go for bossing runs such as Anego/Samurai Knight/Zakum/Papulatus have added defence buffs such as Invincible and Elemental Resistance.

Anego: Invincible reduces her slap attack by 30% of the full damage, meaning a 12,000 hit slap now becomes a 8,400 hit instead which is survivable for a Bishop who has 3-4k HP +10-12k MP with a Dark Knight's HyberBody buff.

Samurai Knight: Invincible reduces his touch damage by 30% of the full damage as well.

Zakum: Elemental Resistance reduces all of Zakum's elemental attacks on the Bishop by 50% when maxed. This applies to fire/lightning/poison and ice attacks.

Papulatus: Invincible reduces Papulatus's body damage by 30%. Elemental Resistance reduces Papulatus's ice and lightning attacks by up to 50% when maxed.

The Awesome Skills of the Bishop
a.) Genesis

• Deals Holy damage on up to 15 monsters. 

• Very useful for bossing (but is pot consuming).
• Used for fast EXP gain when either soloing or in a party.

b.) Ressurect

• Revives all dead party members on the spot with full HP.
• Does not restore lost EXP from dying.

c.) Bahamut

• A Holy dragon which deals Holy damage on 3 monsters.
• Deals considerably higher damage than Summon Dragon.
• Useful for bossing.

d.) Holy Shield

• Protects all party members from status effects such as Seal, Curse, Darken and Weaken.

e.) Angel Ray

• Deals very high Holy damage to devil based monsters, but attacks a single target at one time only.
• Used as an alternative to Genesis for bossing.
• When combined with Bahamut, deals very high damage to bosses.

 Bosses Suitable for Bishops to Solo
a.) Papulatus
Using both Angel Ray and Bahamut makes a good deal for this boss.

b.) Samurai Knight
Spamming Heal/Angel Ray works effectively on this boss.

Pots Used Frequently By Bishops When Spamming
a.) Ginger Ale
Recovers 75% HP and MP.

b.) Mushroom Miso Ramen
Recovers 80% HP and MP.

c.) Power Elixir
Recovers 100% Hp and MP.

d.) Wizard Elixir
Adds 20 Magic Attack for 8 minutes.

e.) Yakisoba
Adds 10 Magic Attack for a certain duration.
