Today has been pretty active for a Saturday!
If you are busy Mapling, but have a moment to spare...check out this picture and vote on it!
During my shopping spree I came upon that. The attraction to a Maple Shield is twofold. One, it adds MDEF for classes that can't get it, IE Bandits and Warriors. But more importantly it has an amazing 10 slots for scrolling.
And this sucker is 10 of 10.
With 70% cursed scrolls for LUK.
The beauty of this shield is that for a Bandit it can give you a lot of damage. But what it really does is allow a Low-LUK IL Mage to exist. You see, for the level 51 Staff you want, you need 40 LUK. Not 54 LUK, only 40. So there's a lot of extra points in there. If you have 20 LUK just from your shield, you are pretty much halfway there. So this is really one of the most invaluable items in the game for any class.
Because of that, the temptation to make an item such as this is high. But it could be legit. For 2 hours a day (during 2x drop rate) there are full parties of 3rd job people on nearly every Bubbling channel trying to farm these. So with the amount of them out there, it's also possible that someone would eventually make one of these.
My question to is: Is this item legit or hacked? Basically, this is a test of your faith in humanity. The rest of the shop had normal items. Nothing out of the ordinary. So a quick poll on a Saturday while you're resting, getting that Dr Pepper for your 16 hour marathon, whatever. ^^
