Heyo! Just had a quick question or two about the Maple Starter Pack in the Cash Shop at the moment, especially since it's heavily on-sale at the moment.

I assume this is a single purchase per account EVER, correct? Is it possible to purchase the pack and hold onto it for a future character, by chance?

I just started playing a week-ish ago with CW3 (Heroic), mostly for nostalgia and to give my account a strong start with some Hyper Burned characters, and hopefully the Lvl.200 pots from Emerald Rank. But I intend to make a Dark Knight eventually when CW4 drops as my "real" main down the line, and would obviously love to give a lot of the Starter Pack goodies to him, like the inventory slot expansions and stuff.

The pack says the items inside are untradeable, but does anyone know if I can purchase the pack, stow it away in my Storage for now, and give it to my Dark Knight somewhere down the line? Or would I be better off using it somewhere else, since these feels like it has insane value?

Thanks!

Heyo! I was wondering since the weekly reset is approaching, what are some of the MUST-HAVE important items, in your opinion, to grab before the shops all restock?

I haven't been playing very long yet, so just grabbing what I want/need at any moment, but anything I really don't want to miss out on?

Thanks!!

So, I'm pretty upset right now... I'm a new player (basically, haven't played in 10+ years) and decided to treat myself and grab the Genesis Pass for my Hyper Burn Erel. Unfortunately, as a new player, I didn't understand that there would be NX-only items, and thought that the Genesis Pass would cost Maple Points just like all the other passes...

I've contacted support to try and get a refund or somehow fix this, but pretty much all they've told me is that I'm sh*t out of luck. They can't refund my NX because it was already "spent" (no it wasn't), and they can't even remove the Maple Points from my account and activate the Genesis Pass on my character for me (to clarify, I didn't even ask for this, they brought that idea up themselves).

Is there anything I can do here? Can I get my NX back at all, or otherwise "fix" the situation? I'm really bummed, and can't really justify spending another $30 for the pass after this :\

Heyo! So I'm just about done finally 100%ing BN3:Blue. All I have left are the online battle Giga Chip (Delta Ray, in my case) and Alpha Omega.

Anyone willing to help me grind this out? Much appreciated!

Edit: I'm on Switch, btw!

Heyo! Returning player who hasn't played in... I legitimately don't know how long lmao (Probably at least a decade or so?)

Now, I've heard a little about Heroic servers (used to be Reboot?), and it sounds like it'd be way more up my alley at this point, if I'm understanding them correctly, so wanted to get some input.

I don't mind the game still being a bit of a time sink, as most MMOs tend to be anyway, and it sounds like Maple is LESS of a second job than it used to be anyway lol ;; But mostly, Heroic seems to have done away with a lot of the endgame need to shell out tons of real money for progression and stuff, which was the biggest thing that turned me away from this game that I otherwise adored to bits. I can deal with RNG and time investments any day of the week (not literally anymore, but you get what I mean), but not RNG with my real life monetary investments. That's a big no-go...

I'd considered trying out Idle, and maybe I still will, since it's definitely a game that respects my limited free time a lot more (which is nice), but I'm not sure if I just want something to scratch that nostalgia itch of Maplestory, or if I just want to play Maplestory like I used to.

Any input on this? Sounds like Heroic is gonna be the way to go for me just for the money aspect alone, but I'd love to hear any tips and advice from y'all! Thanks! <3

Heyo! Just a quick question...

Let's say I decide to get two of the Special Mission tickets for the Ice Cream decor Pikmin. Would I have to do them one after the other? Or could I theoretically buy two simultaneously and work on the missions together?

Thanks!

So I know ARK's default way of hopping between maps is... buggy and unreliable, at best. And I've heard mentions of different ways people have set up (with mods, maybe?) to allow players to hop from one map to another more smoothly than vanilla.

Any info or advice for this? I haven't had any major issues with losing stuff or had big problems pop up from doing transfers, but would rather be safe than sorry and not risk our dinos and stuff.

Thanks!

Heyo! Just a quick question... Does it seem worth it to keep pulling on the WarGreymon and the Tai & Agumon banners?

I did get a dupe of WarGreymon, so he got an awesome damage boost. Not sure how good the Tai dupes are.

I feel like we get TONS of emeralds just playing normally, so it's not like it's costly to do the free pull every day, and even if we don't get more dupes, we're still getting other stuff from the summons to hopefully make us stronger overall.

And if we're not pulling from the banners, where should we be spending the emeralds? It's not like saving them for future banners makes sense... because they're still once-a-day pulls.

Thoughts?

Heyo! I know it's early since the game just dropped, but wanted to get everyone's thoughts, especially since I don't typically play idle games and wanna take this one as just a chill background game here and there.

For progression or just general gameplay, should I just be spending my materials for Skill Card and Support Digimon summons? Or is there a point where I should start hoarding them?

Also, if I got WarGreymon SP, should I keep going for a dupe (and other Digimon), or do pulls on the Buddy banner?

Heyo! I just had a quick question regarding the Special Mission Ticket thing in the shop.

Are these one-time purchases, more could you buy and complete these multiple times if you really wanted to?

I don't intend to buy any at all if I can help it lol ;; But figured I'd ask just in case, so I know for this and future events.

Thank you!

Heyo! Silly question, but I saw that when you Digivolve your Partner Digimon, it has you choose a "focus" for your stats or abilities or something like that? Like choosing between Attack, Defense, SP, etc.

How "important" or permanent is this?

I know the game just launched and there's not really any sort of "meta," and that's fine lol ;; I'm just curious as to what people are choosing for this stuff. I doubt it'll matter much outside of PvP stuff anyway, but figured I'd ask.

Thanks!

Edit: I guess if it matters, I'm debating between starting with Wormmon or Agumon.

Weird question, but does anyone happen to know all of the profile icons that exist for Spheal? I have a Shiny Spheal AND a Shiny Christmas Spheal that I've been using as my icon for years now, and have been slowly chipping at getting 1000 hours on them to get the Good Night Ribbon icons.

Does anyone know how these work? I assume the Good Night icons will only unlock for the SPECIFIC Spheal I use for it, and not both or for normal Spheal. And I assume the icons gotten from Befriending Badges are only for the normal versions of a Pokemon, not your Shinies? (Those are from silver and gold badges, yeah?)

Thank you! I'm chilling on GG for the event, so grabbing some free Spheal hours while my other Pokemon cook heavy meals :P

Heyo! So, we're getting to the point where we almost have maxed out mutations for some of our stat lines on our Rexes and stuff.

Would someone be kind enough to explain the best way to combine mutations onto one dino, and also what you actually do to continue mutating PAST the normal 20/20 limit? I don't think we intend to stack up any singular stat past the 20 mark, but I still want to know how you actually do it, and how to stack more than just two mutations together.

Thank you! I really appreciate it! <3

Heyo! So I finally got a new phone recently and so I've finally been able to get Pikmin Bloom!

I plan to mostly just play it very casually as something fun and cute to do while I walk around, especially since my job involves a lot of legwork anyway. But the Tiny Instrument Pikmin are so cute!!

I don't know how feasible it is to actually get them all, especially as a new player, but does anyone have any particular tips or advice on that front? I don't plan to go full collector mode on all the event decor Pikmin that come out, but I love these little guys too much to not at least try for this particular set.

Thank you! I appreciate it! <3

Heyo! So a quick question... I'm trying to get myself some high level Deinonychus to start breeding them, but I'm having a heck of a time even finding decent level ones. And unlike most tames, I can't just do a destroywilddinos map wipe to get new spawns, since this leaves the old eggs there until I manually run around and pick them all up too.

What's the best way to "reset" Deinonychus? Is there another map wipe command I can use to clear the eggs or something? Or is it simply just run around, pick up all eggs, kill all Deinonychus, and pray?

Thanks!

Heyo! So we were looking at the Additional Dinos mod for ASE that adds some modded dinos that eventually got added into ASA officially, like the Acro or the Archelon, etc.

I was wondering if anyone knows if these exist as individual mods, or if there's a way to only have certain dinos instead of the full collection?

Thank you!

Hey, guys! I have an odd problem I was hoping to get help with.

So I made a post yesterday about changing supply drops to get rid of stuff like Water Jar BPs, irrigation pipes, etc., and I was pointed to the Beacon app.

Now, I changed up our drops last night, but now most of our drops have severely dropped in quality, seemingly ignoring the Loot Quality Multiplier I had set up before.

Anyone know an easy solution for this? I don't know why overwriting drops would supersede the multiplier like that when it doesn't do that normally.

Thanks!

Heyo! Quick question for you guys...

On our ASE server, what's the best way to modify what can spawn inside a Supply Drop? I don't want to change the rates or add things from what we already have. I just want to get rid of the unless junk clutter like Water Jar BPs, Irrigation Pipes, etc.

Any advice? Thank you!

Heyo! So I'm deep in the postgame grind, and just beat Serenade and BassGS! Now I'm on TeamStyle, doing the rounds to grab all the V4 Navi Chips.

Would anyone be able to help me Compare Libraries with their White Version, and trade me the MistMan chips and Ground Style NCPs? (I think that's the only exclusive stuff that's tradeable, right?)

I can trade Shadow Style stuff if needed, and I'm grabbing the BowlMan chips as we speak if those are needed too.

Thank you! I appreciate the assistance!

Heyo! So my gf and I are pretty well set up at this point on The Island, and have started breeding some of our better tames that we have a lot of good stats on to merge (mostly Argies and Pteras so far).

That said, I know it's gonna take a lot of time and effort to get tames ready for the boss fights, especially if we end up deciding to tackle the Alpha bosses, and I'm trying to get an idea of what's considered "good" or not for this. Obviously I'd rather not put myself through the mutation grind on some very mediocre stats lol

Unfortunately, I don't really have enough prior experience to gauge what to be satisfied with lol ;; I've kinda been running on the idea of 40+ being very good, and 45-50+ being amazing. But I'd like to have a better idea, especially since I'm trying to focus on finding Rexes since even I know how important they're gonna be!

Any advice for a (kinda) newbie prepping for boss fights? Everyone always says to just tame a bunch of high levels and merge their best stats, but even I know that best stats =/= good stats lol

Thanks!! <3
