This is a legit the first time over like 10 years of me playing casually this game on and off that some one actually explains how to progress without a free set bonuses. thank you so much!
Thank you SO MUCH for going from start to finish with this guide. WAY too many boss guides don't even mention equipment paths + when you should be starting to try bossing, and the context you provide about mules in general really helps explain the process! Huge help ❤
I have just recently started playing MapleStory with my Main being Lv220 atm and I have watched a decent amount of guides and none talked about the Von Leon equipment. Thank YOU.
@@saigrinYT If this is hell then I have been loving it so far. grinding all the different classes to 140 atm for the legion stuff haha looking forward to more of your videos to hopefully learn from!
Lol I hope you keep that attitude and keep on enjoying the game. The grind never stops! Also, hopefully I can make some new content that can help you out.
yo real talk you explained the shit out of this and i love you for it also with the piece placements and stat recommendations. it made it so easy for me as a semi new player
Although you missed talking about nodes,legion,link skills which are a big contribution to damage for boss mules. You did an amazing job showing how to fill up all the equipment slots thank you for the helpful guide.
I completely agree! In this video it was mainly directed towards the equipment path of things, but I could've talked more about the finer details. If I make a remake of this, I will be sure to talk more about it.
Important thing to note is after new age you get 2x node slots which honestly makes the floor for up till i'll say cpap mule much lower since you can just equip most of the priority damage skills rather than compromising some skills like rn. edit* actually you only get 1 extra slot per 10 levels so 210 1 more 220 2 more but we get 2 more slots right at 200 so we're looking at 3-4 node slot increase. This probably helps most classes fit their burst buffs in by 220 but the buff might not have been as huge as i initially imagined.
Thanks so much! For the android and totems, they do help with your damage, but they take longer to get. Lol, personally one afterlands quest on my main is enough for me.
Uhmm for me, my boss mules be starving xD. I play pretty casually, and don't play for too long, so most of the symbols be around level 1. But lvl 5 arcane symbols seems like a great place to leave them off.
Lvl.220 is a really good spot to leave most mules. They can easily clear up to CRA, and with a little more funding take on normal Lomien. Past that you might need to level even more, but I would wait until all your other mules catch up.
Thanks for the guide! I came back to MapleStory like 2w ago after a couple of years and started to level up some classes for Skill Links and/or Legion. Which class would you recommend for a Boss Mule?
Thanks for the guide. Got afew questions: 1) you mentioned cube to epic when happy with it the equip, did you mean happy with the flame stats or when it’s sufficiently star forced without booming ? 2) is the Von Leon set that much better than pensalir set for the purpose of beating CRA? 3) do you/should you wait for better flame stat eq to drop before starforcing & cube?
1) I usually start to cube to epic when I'm happy with my flame stat. 2) In my opinion I think it is. The cumulative stats from the whole set effect is generally better for bossing and it has a bit better stats included. The pensalir set does have IED though, which is pretty good. But my main issue with pensalir is the fact the flames are not good. Being a boss drop, the von leon set has the potential to give you incredible flames and those stats become really important. Especially getting extra Weapon attack or Magic Attack on your weapon. 3) If you are in no rush to make boss mules, I think just do the dailies on the characters you want as boss mules as you progress on your main. Eventually, you will get great flames on the equips you need. But, I usually wait because I be chilling. You can also just flame them using flames that drop from bosses, or purchased from shops or legions. But to save on purchasing flames I usually just wait. Also, thanks for watching!
For me, I usually buy trait potions from event shops whenever possible. If not, I just equip some boss drops like Zakum helmets whenever I get them and sell them right after.
I'd say they are. Buying Bright and Glowing cubes do have a way better rank up, but they are much more expensive. For a 10 stack of Bright cubes it is 220 million, and if every mystical cube costs 450,000 to use for lvl.150 items, you can get in 488 mystical cube tries for the tier up. This is just incase you get unlucky and the Bright cubes don't tier up, it happens sometimes. T_T
Demon slayer takes a lot of nodes to get the perfect nodes it needs. Marksman on the other hand just needs one perfect trio. Yeah 500-2000 seems like a good number^, but if you don't got that much, you can make do with what you have, just got to be a bit more creative in the V matrix xD I was able to make decent boss mules using around 200 nodes. Luck and creative will help you out.
If you have it, I would recommend it. The stats on the sweetwater weapon do make it better than the Von Leon 6 set. But if you don't want to do Commerci, the Von Leon weapon should do just fine until you get the fafnir weapon.
You forgot to mention your legion… I have same set 6% line on all my gears and legendary WE but only 700k max ATT… plus lvl 40 boost nodes and 4k legion
I would say, once you hit the 85% IED mark, you should put the points in your legion to either Boss Damage or Crit Damage. That's what I do on my legion board. For your range, you might want to change up your link skills and see if that helps.
Hmmm, then levelling up your nodes should be your next step. I didn't touch upon it in this video but they play a significant role in the damage as well.
Thanks for the guide. i know that we have to make boss mule but i don't know how to start. also if possible make a guide about node as well should be nice. Thank you btw
Thanks for watching! Lol hopefully this guide helps you get started on the boss mules. Maybe in the future I can make the node guide, gotta learn more about it myself first xD
Big oof, I forget sometimes too xD. Hopefully the guide can help you regear in no time flat. Lvl.220 does give you a good advantage, so goodluck! Also, DB's are a goated class.
It is the better set, but yeah I still recommend Von Leon set because it is way easier to get and you can complete it a lot sooner. Plus you will be moving on to the CRA set a lot sooner than you can complete the Empress set.
This is a legit the first time over like 10 years of me playing casually this game on and off that some one actually explains how to progress without a free set bonuses. thank you so much!
Ahhh thanks, I tried my best xD. Glad it helped you out!

I'm glad I could help you out! I tried my best to make it as clear as I could, it do be tough to not know where to start. Thanks for watching!
Definitely the best guide I've seen in a while.
Thank you so much! It makes me happy to hear that :)
Considering the 5% dmg requirement now for getting boss's rewards this is a really good guide for those who don't know where to start, equipment-wise!
Thanks for watching, I'm glad you liked it! :)
Hopping back on for the first time since the race to 200, video is super helpful bro. Thanks!
No problem, glad it could help! Darn a true OG is coming back to the maple world!
best guide I've come across, low key underrated.
Ahh thanks for the comment! Makes me happy to hear that xD
Looked for a really quick good guide about boss mules , thank you.
No problem! Hope it helped!
I have just recently started playing MapleStory with my Main being Lv220 atm and I have watched a decent amount of guides and none talked about the Von Leon equipment.

No problem, yeah it's an underrated set even though it's really good! Also, welcome to Maple Hell T_T

Nodes are also super important for boss mules. You kinda glossed over it, but they make a huge difference for cra mules
That is true, nodes do make a huge contribution to damage output. This video was just mainly focused on the equipment path of things.
I'm actually playing this game from scratch as I wanted a brand new start of this game. 😂
Awesome guide dude! 😊
Ayyo, goodluck on the journey! Starting from scratch can be a bit rough, but really rewarding. Also, thanks my dude!
@@saigrinYT OMG. It truly is. 😭 Especially when you don't have a pet to pickup the loot. The struggle is getting real.
Thanks very detailed and informative. Great video
Thanks for watching! I hope it helped :)

Even though I wish it was 2x node slots, still looking forward to the update xD
amazing guide
Thank you! :)
gonna have to try the von leon set, all my cra mules have pens gear
Hopefully the set helps you out!
great guide for beginners! only thing missing was the android and totems.
Thanks so much! For the android and totems, they do help with your damage, but they take longer to get. Lol, personally one afterlands quest on my main is enough for me.
Ty for the video! How do you spam the cube confirmation window?
Thanks for watching! Lol I just use any object I have laying around and place it on the enter key. Then I can just use my mouse to press try again.
This is a super nice guide.. whats your recommendation for bossing mule
Thanks for watching! Some really good classes would be the Hero, Wind archer, Buccaneer. There are others, but I really enjoy these ones.
What level nodes?
For me, getting at least a total level of 10-16 on my trinodes work out.
No lomien? 😢
Sadly I don't got the funds for that T_T
How much effort do yall usually put into Arcane Force for boss mules?
Uhmm for me, my boss mules be starving xD. I play pretty casually, and don't play for too long, so most of the symbols be around level 1. But lvl 5 arcane symbols seems like a great place to leave them off.
What level should we park our mules at for efficiency's sake?
220 to 230 is good for reboot imo. (Reg player here) for reg server i usually go up till 240 for efficiency.
Lvl.220 is a really good spot to leave most mules. They can easily clear up to CRA, and with a little more funding take on normal Lomien. Past that you might need to level even more, but I would wait until all your other mules catch up.
@@Lucas-wn5wm i see, any idea what level should we kept our symbol at?
@@saigrinYT i see, any idea what level should we kept our symbol at?
@@Ayou0811 i just slowly up them haahhaa! Arc daily is still xp for mules!!!
Thanks for the guide! I came back to MapleStory like 2w ago after a couple of years and started to level up some classes for Skill Links and/or Legion. Which class would you recommend for a Boss Mule?
No problem, glad it helped. My favourite ones are hero, bucc, wind archer, dual blade, and dawn warrior. Really simple classes that pack a punch!
Thanks for the guide.

how do u increase ur lv 30 charm to use pocket slot ?
For me, I usually buy trait potions from event shops whenever possible. If not, I just equip some boss drops like Zakum helmets whenever I get them and sell them right after.
is it economical to tier up with mystical cubes? they cost a chunk every use and don't have a very great tier up rate.
I'd say they are. Buying Bright and Glowing cubes do have a way better rank up, but they are much more expensive. For a 10 stack of Bright cubes it is 220 million, and if every mystical cube costs 450,000 to use for lvl.150 items, you can get in 488 mystical cube tries for the tier up. This is just incase you get unlucky and the Bright cubes don't tier up, it happens sometimes. T_T
How much nodestones should i put in my boss mules? I'm making demon slayer and marksman boss mules
Usually between 500 to 2000 depends on how lucky you are. And after you get tri nodes. The rest is just for leveling up
Demon slayer takes a lot of nodes to get the perfect nodes it needs. Marksman on the other hand just needs one perfect trio. Yeah 500-2000 seems like a good number^, but if you don't got that much, you can make do with what you have, just got to be a bit more creative in the V matrix xD I was able to make decent boss mules using around 200 nodes.

Do you recommend the sweetwater wep over von leon?
If you have it, I would recommend it. The stats on the sweetwater weapon do make it better than the Von Leon 6 set. But if you don't want to do Commerci, the Von Leon weapon should do just fine until you get the fafnir weapon.
You forgot to mention your legion… I have same set 6% line on all my gears and legendary WE but only 700k max ATT… plus lvl 40 boost nodes and 4k legion
Good point! Yeah my legion is a bit higher than yours, and maybe I could've talked about the placements I used.
I would say, once you hit the 85% IED mark, you should put the points in your legion to either Boss Damage or Crit Damage. That's what I do on my legion board. For your range, you might want to change up your link skills and see if that helps.
I did everything and I still hit like crap I’m level 235 with 8k legion
Hmmm, then levelling up your nodes should be your next step. I didn't touch upon it in this video but they play a significant role in the damage as well.
Thanks for the guide. i know that we have to make boss mule but i don't know how to start.
also if possible make a guide about node as well should be nice. Thank you btw
Thanks for watching! Lol hopefully this guide helps you get started on the boss mules. Maybe in the future I can make the node guide, gotta learn more about it myself first xD
Thanks very helpful! New Sub Here worth it haha
Thanks for subbing and glad it helped you out!
Tried coming back on my 220 DB that was tera burned. Buuut I forgot the 150 gear expires... Idk what to do :(
Big oof, I forget sometimes too xD. Hopefully the guide can help you regear in no time flat. Lvl.220 does give you a good advantage, so goodluck! Also, DB's are a goated class.
i'm at 20k stat and 93% IED and I still can't solo Vellum but I can on Lotus LOLOL
Lol the Chaos Worm confirmed to be the strongest boss.
@@saigrinYT haha that slippery noodle 🍜 😆
Or make friends and cut most of everything by half
The true power of friendship!
Would you recommend empress set over von Leon?
I think its better but vonleon is more accesible
It is the better set, but yeah I still recommend Von Leon set because it is way easier to get and you can complete it a lot sooner. Plus you will be moving on to the CRA set a lot sooner than you can complete the Empress set.
