Hey basil, I took a short break from maple to catch up with my school work, and i come back, and everything is crazy. Could anyone tell me what's happening? like, Potential items, : - Items that give like 1% str bonus, is that to your base strength, or the strength of the item? - I got a helmet that said gives a 10% chance to make the character happy if they're hit for 10 secs, ... what the heck does that do... - Does every single equip have the same chance to get a potential? - Are some potential's weapon specific, or can the ones that give like W.ATTK apply to armour too? Increased drop rate: -Does it apply to all items? or just equips? - How much has the drop rate increased by? Dual Bladers: - Which NX packages are suggested to buy if you're wanting all the skills, and don't care about the NX clothes covers? -Is it confirmed that making a level 30 Dual Blader gives you less HP and one less AP point? - Can Dual Bladers get the Adventurer rings since their actually considered as Adventurers? Roll backs: - Apparently people are losing their storage items cause of rollbacks, is this true? cause i just transferred all my items to my DB, - Will you expect a rollback anytime soon? Free AP/SP resets, - Does this apply to dual bladers too? - How do you get these resets - Do you get the reset for each character you have? I probably have more questions, but these are all the ones at the top of my head. Thanks alot for helping.

When you log on, it'll pop up a special message about the AP/SP. Click cancel if you want to redeem on another character. AFAIK, you can only redeem once per account, so do it on your highest level/ whichever you want to use the resets on. Remember, if you accept the resets on an Evan, you can't move them to another character because Evans and Arans and DBs/cygnus (I think) have their own separate CS inventory screens. You can transfer from evan to evan or adventurer to adventurer, but not between types, so keep that in mind. Check the website for what you get at what levels to make sure you take full advantage of this. Incresed drop 10x is what I've been hearing. That's on equips only. I also hear scrolls drop 2x as often, which isn't a lot but hey. ;) Also, "10% chance to fall in love" means 1 out of every 10 times you get hit, you will do the goo goo eyes face and follow around behind the monster, spamming Booster. (jk about the booster part btw, but you can do that manually if you so choose) 1% str adds 1% to your total str, which is equips+base. MW factors in separately. There's a list somewhere that tells you all the benefits possible for each armor piece, but I'm not sure where it is. I think it's on Basil, so check around. Maybe a search or check in the guide section?

i'm going to try to answer some of your questions. not all of them, though, and if i'm wrong, i'm sorry (in advance) increased drop rate: -apparently it applies to everything. -people on basil have estimated it to about 10x -something in advance: npc prices for selling equips have gone down by about 1/5th their original price. dual bladers: -dual blades, according to nexon's site, cannot get rings. however, they can go up to the level 30 quest. (confirmed by my brother) rollbacks -yes, the storage thing is true. mainly, it's in scania, though... -i don't think there is going to be another rollback AP/SP resets -i don't think it applies to dual blades -go to cash shop on the character you want to use them on -one character only per account, so i've heard from nexon.

Potential items, : - Items that give like 1% str bonus, is that to your base strength, or the strength of the item? Total strength - I got a helmet that said gives a 10% chance to make the character happy if they're hit for 10 secs, ... what the heck does that do... I believe it's just the smile emoticon - Does every single equip have the same chance to get a potential? Every equip that drops can be potential, so yes. - Are some potential's weapon specific, or can the ones that give like W.ATTK apply to armour too? Every equip can gain every stat I believe. Increased drop rate: -Does it apply to all items? or just equips? There has been no formal annoucement about the change in drop rate, but many have said its 10x - How much has the drop rate increased by? 10x Dual Bladers: - Which NX packages are suggested to buy if you're wanting all the skills, and don't care about the NX clothes covers? Just the mastery books -Is it confirmed that making a level 30 Dual Blader gives you less HP and one less AP point? I do think so, if you wear HP equips during the 1-30 lvl stages - Can Dual Bladers get the Adventurer rings since their actually considered as Adventurers? No, they cannot. Roll backs: - Apparently people are losing their storage items cause of rollbacks, is this true? cause i just transferred all my items to my DB, - Will you expect a rollback anytime soon? It can't be confirmed or denied, but most very unlikely because the rollback was caused by massive hacked mesos being spread throughout the economy. Free AP/SP resets, - Does this apply to dual bladers too? It applies to characters that have a certain level requirement. - How do you get these resets? An event that Nexon has made. - Do you get the reset for each character you have? One per account, transferrable.

I'm not so sure the upped drop rate applies to everything. Etc items generally still drop at about 1 per every 2 kills, and the rare ones like pigs heads are still as uncommon as ever. I have filled my whole equip inventory twice in 25 levels, but haven't gotten a single scroll. I don't think scroll drop rate went up much, if at all. This is all from a purely objective point of view, just looking at my own experiences for my evidence. Based on that, though, 10x equip drop sounds about right. It doesn't seem to apply to mesos, etc, or scrolls, though. Just equips, as far as I can tell. Someone must have the patch extractions and can tell us the real numbers, right?
