[Guide] Tangyoon's Cooking Class (lvl 60-90)

June 10, 2013, 7:09 am

≫ Next: SEA Skill Point Distribution Guide

≪ Previous: Which job will you train first? Luminous or Kaiser?

Since there's no guides for this party quest at all (not even on Google), I decided to make this guide, fresh in MapleSEA Playpark General Discussion Forums. Tangyoon's Cooking Class is for players from lvl 60-90, and can be done in a party of not more than 3 people, meaning you can go in solo as well.

*NOTE* Remember to exchange your certificates before leaving the PQ area if you reach lvl 91 in the PQ, because there's no way to exchange for the certs after you leave the PQ area.

Gist of this Party Quest :

You have 5 items to add into a dish which will be shown to you. You have to choose a monster to summon for the dish to kill (lolwhut), which will then cause the monsters to appear on the top of the chopping board for you to kill (another lolwhut).

Posted Image

CHOP SUEY!!
Trololol
The monsters will keep spawning for about 3 minutes, during which you can choose to wait for all of them to spawn then kill them all in 1 shot, or keep killing them until they stop spawning and the next selection begins. You have to kill all the monsters on the chopping board before the next wave can be started.

Posted Image

Choice 1

Choice 2

Choice 3

Choice 4

Choice 5

After the 4th selection, some ember monsters will appear at the bottom, which you have to kill all 5 in addition to the monsters on top. Failing to kill them will result in failing the dish.

Posted Image

Palate-Destroying Flames

After all 5 waves are done, you will then have to add salt to the mixture, which just requires you to press the button according to the numbers required, which will slowly fill up. Clicking it correctly will give you a WA/MA +10 buff for 20 minutes.

Posted Image

If you chose the right monsters for the dish, your dish is a success and you will summon the God of Cookery, a large pig at the end. If not, your dish will get a message saying it smells funny and is deemed a failure and a Trashcan will be summoned. Failure of the dish also occurs if you don't kill the Palate-Destroying Flames in time. The God of Cookery has a buff which only allows critical hits to get through, similar to Ani, while the Trashcan has WA/MA cancel.

Posted Image

God of Cookery

Posted Image

Trashcan

If your dish was a success, after killing the God of Cookery, you will get 2 Chef Certificates and some EXP. You only get 1 Chef Certificate if you fail, and the EXP received is approximately halved.

Posted Image

Exchange 3 of these certificates for Tangyoon's Chef Overall, or 5 of them for Tangyoon's Chef Hat. There is a 2-set bonus of +15 to STR/DEX/INT/LUK, +500 HP/MP and +8 WA/MA.

Posted Image

Clearing 3 successful dishes also nets you the medal of A Great Chef.

Posted Image

Recipes and Monsters Required:

Note - If you chose the correct monster, you will get a message saying you should expect great dishes. If not, you will get a message saying the pot smells funny.

Escargot - Chubby Snail, Red Snail, Orange Mushroom, Wine Bottle, Potted Sprout
Chopped Noodles with Mushroom - Blue Mushroom, Chopped Noodles, Mushmom, Bellflower Root, Bubble Fish
Cold Jellyfish - Jellyfish, Cool Jellyfish, Sr. Bellflower Root, Ice Piece, Potted Morning Glory
Fried Pork - Ribbon Pig, Very Fat Pig, Fire Boar, Nependeath, Octopus
Slime Pudding - Slime, Cube Slime, Cherry Bubble Tea, Snowman, Chocolate Syrup

Salt dosage is random everytime.

*NEW* As mentioned by Mangosteen, the importance of the salt is only for the buff now. It does not affect the failing of the dish.

One round takes a minimum of 16 minutes out of the whole 30 minutes. The experience is nice though, nearly 1 whole level for 1 round at around lvl 7x for my KoC.

That's all there is to this Party Quest.

Also, just a screenshot of a chopping board full of snowmen.

SEA Skill Point Distribution Guide

≪ Previous: [Guide] Tangyoon's Cooking Class (lvl 60-90)

Re-made this Skill Point Distribution Guide after reports from a small number of users complaining that they can't add their points into higher job advancement tiers after a mass reset. Somehow had quite a number of requests that were mistaken as bugs...

This shall serve as a rough guide to distributing your Skill Points after a FULL SP RESET.

Just to clarify, Skill Point Distribution IS NOT Skill Build. I do not provide Skill Builds guides as there are plenty of them out here.

UPDATE: As we all know, Tempest update features major changes to job advancement. In which 3rd job is done at Lv. 60 and 4th job at Lv. 100. In other words, it's possible to max every skill at 4th job now.

The data below will no longer be updated unless there are changes required. So most likely this will be the final version of the Skill Point Distribution Guide, pending new jobs to be added if possible.

Hyper Skill Points will not be supported in here for the time being since it is easy to understand and solely depends on the user's preference. Also, the complexity of the Hyper Skills also requires much more effort than the regular Skills to compute a guide.

Lastly, the pre-Tempest Skill Point Distribution Guide will stay in here as an archive reference. Decided not to remove since it may be useful to others whom may need it.

Asiasoft’s MapleSEA Hacked By MapleSECRETS??!!!?

June 10, 2013, 7:20 am

≫ Next: HOW TO GLITCH Loveless Weapons !!

≪ Previous: SEA Skill Point Distribution Guide

Two million user accounts have been compromised after online game MapleStorySEA was hacked, publisher Asiasoft has confirmed.

Asiasoft discovered last Thursday that data including user IDs, passwords, names and residential registration numbers had been taken, according to the Korea Herald, though only South Korean user accounts were compromised.

"We operate separate servers in each country," a spokesperson said. "Only Korean's users' information was affected."

It means 72 per cent of MapleStory's 18 million South Korean players had their accounts stolen. While passwords were encrypted, Asiasoft recommends that users change their login details on other websites as a precaution. It has reported the breach to local telecoms regulator the Korea Communications Commission, and asked police to investigate.

Asiasoft hopes to raise around $1.3 billion in an initial public offering, to be filed in Tokyo early next month.

6) Advertisement /heh

Section 1: What is Shadow Cygnus ?

Shadow Cygnus is the 'boss' of Evolving World, which you can summon upon reaching the criteria met.

Posted Image

If you wish to find out more information on Evolving world, feel free to refer to this nice guide by prinnygame and moudikmage at http://forums.playpa...ame-moudikmage/

This guide will only focus on the part regarding Shadow Cygnus.

Section 2: What do I get from fighting Shadow Cygnus ?

The mose significant drops from Shadow Cygnus are the Cygnus Shoulder pads, which is the 7th item from the Cygnus set.

Posted Image

Other than that, it is also quite fun to gather you friends to fight Cygnus and turn into pigs, getting wrap in tornado, or die together.

Easier? Hmm...
I'm pretty sure my friend was laughing all along when I got CONSTANTLY pig/tornado-ed by her. <_<

Pearlite, on 04 June 2013 - 05:04 PM, said:

Thanks to your zero base status resist. That's all I can say. Can I laugh too? :lol:

^ See, so fun :lol:

And best part is everyone has a fair chance to fight her, there is no VIP, timetable, or anything, you just have to hunt 600 coins.

Section 3: How to attempt Shadow Cygnus ?

Requirement: link 9 unlocked, farm 600 evol coins -> but Shadow monster core

Coin rate estimation (by lumin) :

(ideal) use 100% increase monster spawn core , 1.3% drop core ~ gets around 50 coins/run
(normal) use 30% increase monster spawn core , 1.1% drop core ~ gets around 30 coins/run

More details will be added in this section

It is confirm that the Core "Shadow monster" can be obtained via hunting too

Section 4: Key Points in Fighting Shadow Cygnus

HP of Shadow Cygnus

The HP of Shadow Cygnus is 31.5 Billion (Okay, I am not too far off /cry

) Thx BangDemon for the info.
~~I roughly estimate the HP of Shadow Cygnus to be around 35 Bil. If you have any more accurate information regarding the HP of Shadow Cygnus, few free to share it~~

One good thing is that she does not have physical resist.

The attacks from Cygnus

DivineNK, on 05 June 2013 - 10:13 AM, said:

Cygnus attack is weak (tornado 3k dmg, bird fire 10k)
no seduce, no pot lock, only potential cancel and pig(quite irritating)

^ Thx DivibeNK from contributing

Special note: You cannot use wheel inside evo world (this make my 1st run fails), so bringing in a BSP is very valuable

Section 5: Q & A

Q: Is it easy to get shoulder pad ?

A: Definitely not !!!!! It drops nothing when I use lucky + 1.25 drop cpre + twin coupon

Refer to next post for the consolidation info in the drops by various teams.

Q:

Pearlite, on 04 June 2013 - 01:35 PM, said:

Eh, you mean there are no KOC instructors, but just herself? 0.o

Potion lock didn't exist either. You mean potion CD?

Well. I thought her reflect was about that damage pre-unlimited?

Either bring someone who can "revive"/prevent you from death or just try to be super careful. I like the part about not needing wheels though. lol. I hate using wheels.

Wait. Does her reflect affect people who don't even attack her just like last time? My bs' deaths were 90% caused by some ignorant attackers hitting her during reflect last time. Made me so angry :py44:

You didn't answer maximum number of people allowed into the run.

IanSia, on 04 June 2013 - 04:02 PM, said:

1. She doesn't spam summoning mob like what she does in 'real life' /heh

2. No, her damage reflect doesn't affect other people iirc.

3. Maximum number of people... should be 6.

4. Wheel is useless inside but Soul Stone isn't :lol:

5. Her reflect isn't random.

6. The normal mobs in Link 9 will stun you if you don't clear them fast enough.

:rolleyes:

This is where you may customize your evolving world with cores. Cores are an optional (but highly recommended!) part of the evolving world. Cores can be found from monsters inside the Evolving World or by buying them from Machine-C2 (see below).
Let's break down this window for easier understanding.
Posted Image

Here is where you put in cores. On the left is monster, mission, and technical customization. However, you'll note that there are 4 locked slots. To unlock them, I will explain below.
Additionally, the middle slot, you can tell is not round like the adjacent slots. This is because it is solely for special cores.

At the right, is the environmental changes. This includes Music Change, Monster Skin Change, and Background Change.
Posted Image

This section is simply just a summary of what cores you put in. The top half is for the technical changes and the bottom half is the environmental changes.
Posted Image

And of course, this is simply a inventory for the cores you gotten. Very convenient, so it wont be clogging up your inventory!
The button on the left is for organizing them.

Now, clicking on the second tab will lead you to this window
KMS
Posted Image

GMS

This window is basically an overview of your Evolving World. It'll tell you where quests are (the '!') and if you added any mission quests it'll show that as well.

Posted Image

This NPC is a coin shop. Posted Image

To get coins, you can simply do the quests in each Link map or kill mobs.
The Machine-C2 will sell you some items, which I will update on it is release
I think you can also buy cores from here. A few will require coins, the rest require mesos. However do note that C2 will not sell all available cores.

Entering the Evolving World

Once you are ready, press START! on the Evolving World window. You'll then be inside your evolving world. Please also note that you can enter with a party.
Posted Image

Once you get in, you'll see this NPC. This is the Monster Generator. To spawn (or despawn) the monsters, you must click on this generator.

As I said before, every map in here will have a specific quest.
Posted Image

For completing the quest, you can obtain a coins, cores, and/or EXP!

Some things to note about the Evolving World:
You are only allowed inside for 30 minutes.
You can only enter 5 times a day.

Stages(links)

Links are the stages inside of your evolution world. Each stage has a quest specific to it and a monster
These quests don't HAVE to be completed, and are not recommended to be complete all the quest.
Each quest gives 1 or more evolving coins when you finish it.

Link 1: Warm-up. Talk to the ESS, then the monster generator, and kill 20 of the monsters that spawn. These monsters are very easy, and should be no problem for anybody that isn't even funded to kill.Report back to the ESS

Link 2: Report to the ESS. Collect 20 memory chip from killing monsters. These monsters are fairly easy and once again, shouldn't be a problem Return to the ESS and you will become a golem. Then go to the bottom of the map and talk to the control device. (You wont know the password so just press enter.) Then go back to the ESS

Link 3: Talk to the ESS and defeat 50 monsters. This is very easy because the monsters all gather in the center every 30 seconds or so. Then return to the ESS.
I recommend training here and hunting for equips here due to the monsters gathering in the center. The monsters gathering allows high mobbing and extreme amounts of EXP

Link 4: Talk to the ESS and defeat 20 of the pink monsters in 60 seconds. These monsters are easy, but there is always only 1 on the map at a time. They spawn in the center platform, and once you kill one, another respawns immediately. Then return to the ESS

Link 5: Talk to the ESS and defeat 4 normal monsters, and 1 transformed monster. To make the monsters transform, you must kill the monster, then kill the 4 that spawn by killing that, and then a transformed one will spawn. Be careful, because these transformed monsters can deal a lot of magic damage. Then return to the ESS

For stages 6 through 9, you must find a core by killing monsters, then when in the evolution world, you have to hunt for 50 drops and turn in the quest.Then you must restart your evolution world to get into the new link.

Link 6: Talk to the ESS, then complete the jumpquest and talk to all 4 npcs along the way. Then report back to the ESS.
No picture available... If you would like to contribute one, inform me

Link 7: Talk to the ESS and defeat 30 monsters. If a Protectron appears, kill it. This is a very easy quest, due to the spawn rate. The protectron is just a machine, and you can kill it with normal attacks or skills

Link 8: Talk to the ESS and defeat 2 Divisions. This monster will spawn by killing other monsters in the map. Be fast, because the division will disappear!

Link 9: Talk to the ESS and defeat 20 monsters.
This is the stage where empress, and all of the Cygnus instructors will spawn you have the core in.
Warning: I heard that these monsters are powerful, and can kill you in 1-3 hits if you are a class with low HP, while also having high hp themselves.

Cores list

Mission Add - Evolving System/Accelerator
These cores will add a quest to the ESS when you enter evolution world. If you complete the quest, you will either unlock 3 more normal core slots,
Or 1 special core slot.

Posted Image

Mission Add - Error Connecting to Link 6/7/8/9
These cores will add a quest the ESS when you enter evolution world. If you complete the quest and restart your evolution world, you will be able to enter the link that corresponds to the core name. You can enter this link as many times as you want.

Posted Image

Mission Add - Hard Difficulty Challenge!/Aim Gap/Strains of Anti-Virus/Temporary Energy Supply/Strengthen Monsters Mode
These cores change your experience in the evolution world. Read the description of the core to know more.

Posted Image

Mission Add - Shadow Monster
This core costs 600 coins, and spawns empress in link 9. She has the same health and damage, but is considered "easier" because she doesn't heal as much.
Be careful, because if you try to solo it at a low level or funding, you ARE going to die

Warning, don't equip this core unless you have link 9 unlocked, because it will expire after you use it and empress spawns in link 9

Posted Image

Monster add - Mikhail/Oz/Irena/Eckhart/Hawkeye
These cores spawn an empress minion in link 9, but you cannot have 2 different minions equiped at the same time. You also cannot have this equiped at the same
time as the cloned Pianus/Griffey/Manon cores

Posted Image

Monster Add - Cloned Pianus/Griffey/Manon
These cores spawn the boss that corresponds to the name of the core. Read the core description to see where they spawn
YES PIANUS DOES DROP THE MINIATURE PIANUS AND THE CERTIFICATE

Posted Image

Monster's Level +3/4/5/7/9/10
This does exactly what it says. It raises the monster level. This is good because higher levels = more health = more exp. Mob cap is lv 160, do not use it if the lv of the current mob is 160

Posted Image

Monster's HP x 1.2/1.5/5/10/20
This raises the monsters max health. Like previously stated, more health = more exp

Posted Image

Monster's Spawn Rate +20%/30/70/100
This raises the monster spawn rate. This is good because there will be more monsters to kill, so you get more exp and more drops

Posted Image

Monster's Skin - Classic/Fairy/Ghost/Plant/Thieves/bigSize
These cores change the way that the monsters look

Posted Image

Background Music - Darkness/SnowDrop/DancingWithTheMoon/WindAndFlower/DragonDream/Cygnus/RisingStar/Opening
These cores change the BGM(background music) that plays while you're in the evolution world

Posted Image

Background Skin - Ereve/Pantheon/Elluel/LionHeartCastle/ForbiddenTime
These cores change what the background of the map looks like

Posted Image

Party Play Zone +5%/10%/15% EXP
Evolution world is a party zone. This means that for every person that you bring with you, 50% more exp is gained. These cores just raise the party zone EXP rate. Please note that these cores DO NOT raise the EXP that you gain from the monsters alone.

Posted Image

Drop Rate +5%/10%/15%/20%/25%/30%
These cores raise your item drop rate while inside evo world

Posted Image

Herb Drop Rate +10%/20%/30%/40%/50%/100%
These cores raise the drop rate of your herbs. These can only be used if you have herb core equiped.

Posted Image

Specific Herb Drop
These cores allow herbs to rop that wouldn't normally drop

Posted Image

Ore Drop Rate +10%/20%/30%/40%/50%/100% and Specific Ore Drop
These work the same as the herb cores, but for ores

Posted Image

Armor Drop - Level 100/110 Armor for Warrior/Mage/Bowman/Thief/Pirate
Raises the drop rate of armor

Posted Image

Rare Equipment Drop
This core makes every equip that you pick up AUTOMATICALLY POTENTIAL!

Posted Image

Weapon Drop - Level 100/105/110/120
Raises the drop rate of weapons

Posted Image

(Special Core) Monster's Spawn Rate +50%/ Party Play zone +5% EXP/ Drop Rate +20%
These are cores that can only be equipped after using the "Mission Add Accelerator" core. You can only have 1 equipped at a time.

A thing to note about cores:
You cannot have two of the same type of cores (So I cannot add +20% Drop Rate and +30% Drop Rate cores)
You can, however, stack same types of cores only by special cores. So for example, I have
Posted Image

Party Play Zone +10% EXP
and Posted Image

Special Core Party Play Zone +5% EXP
I will be able to add both cores.

Recommendations from others(at the moment)

1. Don't buy the cores that unlock new stages, you can find those as drops inside the Evol System.
2. If you get the 300 Coin Core (I forget the name, I'll check in a bit) from the shop that unlocks the final octagonal core, make sure you have Link 9 unlocked. It requires you to hunt monsters there for the drops. If try to do the quest before Link 9 is unlocked, you're going to waste 300 coins because you just can't do the quest, and it expires after you get kicked out.
3. From what others can tell, using a 1.2x HP core gives monsters about 10% more EXP per kill, 5x HP Core gives about 2x exp, and 20x HP core gives around 5.5x exp.
4. From what I have found out, the exp for mob in link 9 is 13.5time more than link 3. As when i was in link 3, lv 17x, a lv 160x mob give 4 k exp, While in link 9, the exp is 54k.

Tips and strategies
Train and hunt in link 3. This is because every about 30 seconds, all the monsters gather to the center for about a minute. This allows easy mobbing.

For training, use Monster's Level, Monster's HP and Monster's Spawn Rate(Party exp increase if you go in a party and unlock the other slot). While for hunting,

Future updates
Need more research, but i recall the nerf is lesser spawn rate and exp

Thread content from moudikmage:

Hi, its me the foreveralonebear again

I believe you guys have visited the latest training heaven a.k.a Evolving World (EW), here is my observations:

You can access to the EW by clicking the quick move button Posted Image

on the left hand side of your map.
Then click the Dimensional Mirror Posted Image

and then Evolving System Posted Image

At the map "Evolving System Research Center", you will see two NPC with names ESS located at the center of the map(click to access to EW) and Machine-C2-Coin-Shop located at the right bottom of the map (click to purchase core and etc).

example of the items sold in the store

Spoiler

Training Preparation Summary:
1. Get yourself level 100
2. Get yourself a HS mule in your party
3. Get yourself purchase 3 cores with names "Monster HP x5 (48,000 mesos)", "Monster level altering core +7 (48,000mesos)" and "Monster population 30% (97,280mesos)"
4. Click the ESS (NPC at the centre), for instance,

Spoiler

The picture states that, I will create a map with x20monster HP, monster spawn +30% and monster +7level
5. Click START
6. You will reach a place called "Evolving System Link 1" Posted Image

. Place your HS mule near the portal "link 3" (second from the left) shown in the following diagram.

Spoiler

Training in link 3 fun fact:
1. There are 19 Mobs in the map of "link 3" with 30% spawn rate. (I think default is 14mobs? need verification)
2. With 5x HP, each mobs at level 160 gives 12,642 EXP.
With Elven, you will gain extra 1,896 EXP
With 30% max pendant, you will gain extra 3,792 EXP
With HS, you will gain extra 6,321 EXP
With 2x, you will gain extra 12,642 EXP
with HS and 2x, you will gain extra 25,284 EXP
With HS and 2x and winter, you will gain extra 44,247 EXP
with HS and 3x and winter, you will gain extra 72,692 EXP

In shorts,
(i) If you go with HS + elven + max pendant, you will gain a total of 12,642*1.95 = 24,652 EXP
(ii) If you go with 2x + HS + elven + max pendant, you will gain a total of 12,642*3.45 = 43,615 EXP
(iii) If you go with 2x + winter + HS + elven + max pendant, you will gain a total of 12,642*4.95 = 62,578 EXP
(iv) If you go with 3x + winter + HS + elven + max pendant, you will gain a total of 12,642*7.2 = 91,022 EXP
with 5x HP of mobs (my default)

3. Inside the map of link 3, there is a machine-link-thingy and alot of flying monster. The monsters will be vacuumed legally to the center every 42 seconds mark when the machine "explode". Monster will respawn every 8 seconds. represent, you will most likely having a 6 waves of vac-ed monster to the center and enjoy the legitimate-hacking-training-pattern /heh

. After 42seconds, the machine will "explode" again, and the monster are no longer vacuumed to the center and flying in random direction. Go chase them if you want. /heh

The monsters will randomly fly for another 42 seconds before it got vac-ed to the center.
Posted Image

In shorts, HS once, go into link 3, whack the centralised-vac-ed mobs for the first time for 42s, randomly whack flying mobs for another 42s, whack the centralised-vac-ed mobs for another 42s, go to the portal at the top of the machine and return to link 1, refresh HS and come back to the map before 42s(flying period) to maximum ultilise your training period.

4. With the core "monster HP x20", each monster give 33,055 EXP. You do the math. 33,055 * 7.2 = 237,995 EXP each mobs. /heh

jajajaajajajajja

5. Preferable to access to map with mobs higher level than you, I'll say 10 more than your party average level. 20% miss rate, but compensated with better exp, so, I prefer this training pattern.

Quote

level 160 mobs in link 3
with x5 HP, gives 12,642 EXP
with x10 HP, gives 19,426 EXP
with x20 HP, gives 33,055 EXP

PS: will update the exp gain if core of "monster HP x10" is used. (updated)

PS: I leveled here occasionally from 130 onwards. pretty decent I shall admit.

Spoiler

before

after

kk, that's with 3x + HS + winter + elven + narb 10% fairy pendant

So basically, I went for a shadow Cygnus spam run today with my party of 5 members.

Went in 5 rounds in a row, 3 were bought from others.

2x drop card, lucky winter, phantom drop buff, hs drop buff, and average a 20% drop rate core.

5-6 people 4 mins per run, 0 shoulders in total. Lost all the buffing cost, winter, and buying the coin from others to bring us in.

Stupid asiasoft and their nerfs! As in getting 600 coins was not hard enough, now you want to make it such that we can't even get drops from her? When GMS gets 4 drops per run? Lol troll.

I'm not the only one too, lumin posted in Q&A section he took over 10 runs to get his first shoulderpad. Others have reported 4 or 5 runs to get a single one too, with all drop rates buffs used.

Videos of shadow cygnus in GMS, First one 2x server 2x drop rate coupon, 4 shoulderpad.
2nd person, 2x drop rate, 10% wealth accumalation pot, 2 shoulderpads.

That is a HUGE NERF. Dropping 1 a round is already little, but 0 after 5/10 rounds with full buffs on is just RIDICULOUS.

Its not only Shadow Cygnus, drop rate of normal Cygnus has been nerfed alot too. In the past, twin + lucky winter could easily net you AT LEAST 5, up to 10 equips. My party has so far done 6 rounds of cygnus, with the same buffs as before, hs, phantom, 2x, winter. Now, she only drops an average of 2-5 equips. We have not seen 6 so far.

I know we copied everything from KMS, but does KMS also suffer from the crazily low drop rate as we do on bosses? Or did we get a stealth nerf by our beloved Asiasoft?

#sopissed right now. 600 coins is no easy task to farm, all that effort for naught on a level 200 character -.-

Hello,

Sometimes I would kind of imagine what kind of new classes might be launched in the near future..
The class on my mind now would probably be 'Prehistoric Class', unsure if anyone shares the same thought..

Have your own share of ideas!
