MapleStory - Complete Guide to Flames/Additional Options (ARK UPDATE)

hey guys it's been roughly a weeks passing since the removal of nebulas and the instating of flames to global maplestory and after a mountain of bugs and unscheduled server maintenance as players have finally gotten themselves situated with flames the overall consensus with nebulas replacement is that everyone essentially lost 20 to 26 percent boss damage more so if you decide to flame her weapon and lost that boss damage on the plus side we do have some very powerful boosts of damage in the form of the additional stats that flames can give because in comparison to nebula X which gave only offset and boss damage and only one of them flames can give a myriad of bonuses simultaneously including attack magic attack based at an even percent damage today I'll be going over exactly what you want to do with flames and how they can best be suited for improving your characters also huge shoutouts to Kobe and Austin for helping me get familiarized with flames so I can help you guys get acquainted with them to definitely check both their channels out in the description below if you would like their insight into flames as well and I also have a ton of resources for you guys in the description if you want to do more thorough research on the subject since I'll mostly be giving you guys a rundown of what you need to know and there will be much more comprehensive guides and explanations in the description below and once again thank you to everyone who has provided those explanations and I hope they can be helpful for you guys too but don't worry this video should be more than enough to get you educated on the subject what happened to nebulas though you all may be aware by not that your clips have lost their nebulas you did yes but they have been replaced with bonus stats based on whatever nebula the item had a link to the chart for the conversion is provided in the description below if you want to know more about that but I imagine everyone should be privy to this by now first for anyone who doesn't know what flames are flames our items that can enhance and affect equipment providing them additional stats set apart from your scrolling enhancements that means there are a total of five ways you can upgrade a piece of equipment scrolling enhancing cubing soul weapon for weapons and then flames the system has been introduced in canvas for a long time and other servers like maple c and GMS luna have already had them GMS simply had nebulas which were a nerfed version of flames but that was only because we didn't want to be power craft too quickly adding a flame onto an item will randomly increase its stats which can be shown in green text next to your stats while blue text is scrolling bonuses which makes it easy to distinguish what your flame bonuses actually are and as of last week all new equipment that is obtained by quests drops fixed or shops will come with the flame bonus already equipped onto it though the bonuses will be limited and not very potent however if you do get lucky you can definitely get some good head start flames are used like Scrolls where you can double click them to apply them to an item or simply click and drag them over to an equipment you currently equip they operate just like cubes whereupon applying a flame you are given a completely random assortment of stats which vary based on what equipment you are using the only equipment that can be enhanced with flames are as follows for armor pieces you have hat top bottom overall boots mantle or cape belt shoulder accessory and gloves for accessories you have pendants earrings pocket item face and eye accessory and then of course your primary weapon rings secondaries emblems badges and hearts cannot be flamed whatsoever how do you get flames you can obtain flames by the following means available on the screen right now probably what a lot of people will be happy about is that flames are a completely free to play system of upgrading which means the only way you can get them is through in-game methods none are available in the cash shop of course you can circumvent that by buying a bunch of flames in the auction house but whatever the case is it's fair game for everyone there are three categories of flames right now level rebirth flames powerful rebirth flames and eternal rebirth flames level flames range from 100 to 150 in increments of 10 levels these flames can be obtained from bosses such as a horntail pink bean magnus empress rudaba so on and so forth these flames ball plentiful and always beneficial are the weakest of the three flames and as such your bonuses from them will be quite minuscule most of the time you just want to extract them for crafting materials to make the other two but if you don't have the wherewithal to make powerful or eternal flames you can always use these powerful and eternal rebirth flames can only be obtained from event based activity like elite bosses events polo and freedo and also by accessory crafting and monster exploration these flames are much more powerful and can be used on any level range of equipment whereas level rebirth flames can only go up to the level in tail powerful flames have a max to your acquisition of six which we'll get to in a bit but that's a very rare occurrence so the average are on tier 5 before work to be practical you have to be master craftsmen or above if you want to craft them by accessory crafting eternal rebirth flames have a max to your acquisition of seven but have an average recurrence of tier 6 you have to be a Meister or above to craft needless to say it's going to be difficult to stockpile a lot of flames so you'll have to put your back into it if you want a chance at those sweet stats if you're loaded with muscle you can also buy them from the auction house but currently they're very expensive so I suggest you hold off on that unless you're rich of course now to get into the bonus stats of flames this part I'll be doing a rather cursory explanation since I can talk your ear off about this part alone but if you want a more detailed look into the system just simply check out Austin's video down below when flames are applied to items they will boost anywhere between one to four lines of stat with powerful and eternal flames giving a much higher chance of granting a higher amount of lines along with higher tiers the cool thing is that boss drops such as tyrants chaos rudaba's Empress etc will always come with four bonus deaths after the tear of the stat they are divided up into seven with tier 7 being the highest and tier 1 being the lowest now this in my opinion is the most important part of links they only take the items level and base stats into consideration and nothing more doesn't care about the Scrolls used on the item doesn't care about the enhancements the potential the soul weapon none of that it only takes the items based at some level for its boosts there are some bonuses that are independent of item level but if you want to know more about that then of course check out Austin's video down below for which ones are universal and which ones are contingent so having said that the level is the most pivotal part of an item because the strength of the bonus is dependent on set level meaning a level 200 item will have far higher bonuses than level 150 item for instance if you only have access to level rebirth flames your bonuses will only be around tier 3 or 4 with a small chance to reach tier 5 powerful flames average to your 4 and 5 with the chance to go to tier 6 and eternal flames average tier 5 and 6 with the chance for tier 7 and each bonus stat given has the tier randomized that means if you flame an item it does not give all four lines of tier 6 tier 7 etc you can have one going stat be tier 5 one bonus that can be tier 4 and one bonus that can be tier 7 so you have to hope that you're lucky for a bunch of high tiers simultaneously in that sense flames operate exactly like potential and bonus potential you'll just have to keep chucking flames that the equipment until you get lucky and a lot of good bonuses that are also high tier so be prepared to use up a ton of flames before you get the results you're satisfied with the categories of bonuses for armors and accessories are on the screen right now for armors you want to aim for single stat boost which provide a large increase in single stat being strength dexterity intelligence and luck double stat boost which provides a moderate increase in two of the four stats percent all stat boost and weapon or magic attack depending on your class with demon Avengers obviously wanting to prioritize max HP the other stats are relatively useless and not really one that you want to go forward except for maybe a level equipment reduction but that's inconsequential once you reach level 200 anyway bear in mind the chance of getting all four of the best bonuses is extremely low let alone getting a good tier for each one which means you may have to settle for only getting three of the four or maybe only two you're deciding between flat stat and percent all stat I recommend you guys go for a flat stack because that can provide a much higher benefit than percent stat due to two things Plus that goes into your base stat which is further amplified by your percents that and also you most likely have a ton of percents that in your main and bonus potentials already so for flames I recommend prioritizing flack bonuses instead of percents but if you get both then you can have your cake and eat it too weapons are roughly the same as armors but rather than giving a flat bonus and weapon and magic attack they give a bonus contingent on the weapons base they can also provide boss damage and percent total damage your ideal bonus stats should be percent based attack total damage boss damage percent all stat and either single or double stat preferably single on a weapon if you have to choose between three of them always make sure you aim for percent based attack and total damage since they can give unquestionably the most benefit boss damage flat stat and percent stat can be neglected if you can't afford to go for them I said earlier that flames have a rare chance of achieving a higher tier this is very very difficult and unrealistic to aim for it if we were using eternal rebirth flames which have a max tier of seven aiming for two or more tier seven bonuses will be just as unlikely as getting three prime lines of percent stat on an item like twelve percent 12 percent 12 percent so unless you have and I'm not kidding thousands of flames to burn on one piece of equipment it's better if you just settle for tier 6 at least for your main priority stats at the time this video has been made items that are not available in kms such as garlic's and sweetwater are currently limited to tier 5 maximum with only like one in three lines bonus as if there were a level 100 items or lower why this is the case I have no idea there's speculation about whether or not this is intended as a means of balance because as you know Sweetwater and Galaxy gear are prominent best in slot items for GMS and give us a ton of power that can does not have so until more news about this is brought to the surface I suggest you refrain from using flames on non kms items I had to learn that the hard way when I used a few flames on my superior garlic's gear and then spent another 200 just to get them back to this test that were before so let me serve as a herald for you guys in that regard anyways that should cover everything you need to know about flames obviously there's a lot more that you can delve into and all the resources you need will be in the description below I hope this was helpful and if it was I would appreciate if you left this video a like and if you could subscribe for future guide videos and don't forget to share this with your friends and peers that they're also wondering when flames are thanks again so much for watching comments are always welcome and if I missed out on anything that I didn't put in the description please be sure to let me know top 5 unfunded classes video is well on its way so stay tuned for that and I'll see you guys again soon take care
