>>>Latest Version<<< WITH HOTLINKS! Big thanks to PointedLaser for helping to refine this guide, add information to it, and make it look as clean as possible Please keep this going, hopefully it will eventually get a sticky! Kevvl has asked me to say that all referenced (i.e. quoted) material was used with the permission of the original author. Thank you. Please keep this thread going, that is, if you want those �I need help with Zakum Quests� threads to stop. Why am I bothering to make such a thread? Because me, and the other Basilmarket users, are all sick of having to constantly answer to people needing Zakum help, especially when all the information in this thread can be easily found with Google Table of Contents 1. Introduction 1.1 Zakum Monster Description 2. Buying a helm 2.1 Scams 3. Quests 3.1 Instructions to start Quests 3.2 Quest 1 3.3 Quest 2 (jump quest) 3.4 Quest 3 4. The Zakum Run 4.1 Info on monsters: 4.2 Tips in getting more hp 5. Computer help -Added Section on Vista help 6. Rewards 7. Legal Details 1. Introduction There are a few reasons for doing Zakum runs. If you are a buyer, (and I will discuss that later) then you stand a chance to get this Zakum Helm . If you are selling (killing/healing/buffing/etc) then you will be paid to kill it. (Obviously you don't need to read this as you are a seller) Thirdly, there is Zakum Leech, which through PG mule or another (likely illegitimate method) get experience from the arms being killed. *Addition thanks to Clericsking1 Some people may pay to pick up Zakum drops which are some Mastery Books, (some may be untradeable such as TT10) and most of the rest are lvl 80+ Equips. *Note these will be less used as Karma Scissors can be used to buy/sell these Mastery books 1.1 Zakum Zakum Information All Credits to MapleWiki 2. Buying a Zakum Helmet "Reg is when you get sent to the bottom of the waiting list. In some guilds/groups, they give you a certain amount of tries when getting your zhelm. VIP is when you get set to the top of the waiting list. VIP will always loot before a Reg member, regardless of how many runs a Reg buyers had to play. Same as Reg, they can also limit you to an amount of tries. Usually unlimited, though (although, after a certain amount of tries, they may asked you to let a Buyer's player on your account). If you die, D/C, or anything that happens that is your fault, the try will count against you. Note: The definition of the Reg and VIP package may differ between worlds and guilds/groups. For example, if you want to have a Buyer's Player go on your account for you and loot you the helm, you must buy the VIP package. In other world, it's the complete opposite. Also, certain packages can get you other benefits, such as free quest service. So to be 100% sure on what you are buying, it is best if you asked them about their service." (Submitted by qwan456) Super VIP : They cost between 45~60mil; This means you get to go in the next run, they will do it on your account if you

Good general guide for zhelm buyers. However, i completely disagree with letting a zrun guild do your JQ or letting them on your account whatsoever. First and most solid rule to never getting hacked: Don't share your account info with anyone.

nice guide. although, like someone else who said it earlier, its ginger ales for mages, not ginseng roots. also, for the vista dc problems, i recommend they download vista service pack 1 if they did not do so, that is one of the most common dc problems for maple players during zak.

Theoizzle : where can i get a guide for attacking zakum? a guide? what for it's not like HT when you need to do specific parts first.. Each zak group kills it differently, for example Speed of Windia, my squad. We kill the curse arm first (one that seals/darkness/curses) and then use an Onyx Apple after that one is killed because it'll take away less time if we get sealed or darkened. Then we kill the rest of the arms, and then the 3 bodys. That's about it..
