Top 10 MapleStory weapons, armor, and accessories of 2009
Topic by: Stephen

The year has come to an end and using our new anonymous statistics monitoring system, we have found the most popular searched items on MapleTip.

This year, we'll be showing you the most viewed items in our database. Some may come to no suprise to you, others are not so much. Nonetheless, we introduce to you the top 10 MapleStory weapons, armor, and accessories of 2009.


MapleStory Weapons

Looks like the GM's weapon of choice is fairly popular along with several Maple Weapons. The thief's low leveled Meba follows in at position 4.
  1. Wizet Secret Agent Suitcase
  2. Maple Kandayo
  3. Red Whip
  4. Meba
  5. Korean Fan
  6. Shinobi Bracer
  7. Maple Claw
  8. Maple Skanda
  9. Maple Sword
  10. Maple Staff

MapleStory Armor

Looks like
the GM's armors of choice are in the top 10 again with the hat coming in first. Most of the armor found here are classless meaning they can be worn by any class and buffed by several scrolls found across MapleStory to add power to their own class.
  1. Wizet Invincible Hat
  2. Newspaper Hat
  3. Toymaker Cap
  4. Maple Shield
  5. Dark Pilfer
  6. Icarus Cape (1)
  7. Wizet Plain Suit
  8. Blue Sauna Robe
  9. Old Raggedy Cape
  10. Zakum Helmet
MapleStory Accessories

Finally, we're looking at the accessories. Seems like the most popular item is the weight earrings, which is all but too common around MapleStory. Not suprisingly, the horntail's necklace comes in third and it's fairly powerful if you think about it. (But fairly high leveled to wear).


  1. Weighted Earrings
  2. Silver Deputy Star
  3. Horntail Necklace
  4. Leaf Earrings
  5. Strawberry Icecream Bar
  6. Skull Earrings
  7. Sword Earrings
  8. White Raccoon Mask
  9. Spiegelmann's Necklace
  10. Red Cross Earrings

Unfortunately, we don't have any information about the other databases as we haven't implemented anonymous statistics in them yet. We hope to gather anonymous statistics to better inform our visitors about how to play MapleStory most effectively and have the most fun in the game. As we move forth with the website, we'll be implementing more exciting features that will help everybody.

Note that the anonymous statistics contain no personally identifying information, not even your IP address.

We hope you have had a wonderful 2009 and will have a great 2010. The new year brings forth another round of fun and excitement and we hope you'll be with us this year!

Cash shop update tonight
Topic by: Stephen

MapleStory did a 15 minute long cash shop server check earlier tonight and looks like they brought in some clown clothes as well as a suprise.

The clown clothes includes:


Anyone know what the surprise is? Post it in the comments!

Update: Thanks to Manooz turns out it's just a suprise box where you randomly get something. Costs 500 NX for one.

MapleTip MapleStory Maps Database Updated!
Topic by: Stephen

We're glad to announce that we've brought over the new features from our MapleStory equipment database over to the MapleStory maps database. I hope these updates will improve your experience here and will help you find the information you want.

Here is a glimpse of what's new:

  • New layout of map listing
  • Titles are more descriptive
  • Comments are now available from the map listing page
  • Removed korean maps, monsters, npcs, and quests from showing up (should make it more visually appealing)
  • Added several new locations since the last time we updated
  • All MapleStory locations are now categorized and every map should now be visible via our database
  • Fixed several weird looking locations
  • The map listing page now uses a "sort by popular" while the rest uses an ABC sort.
If you find any bugs in the new database, please feel free to email us. We hope this new update will help out all the MapleStory visitors to our site.

Enjoy!

Featured Video of the [Time Period]
Topic by: Void

NOTE: BBCode fail on the front page.

I was too zetta slow on this one, but everyone else probably was.

So if you haven't noticed already, dray86 released the latest installment to the Maple Kombat series recently. See below.

Click to view video

If you have never heard of the series... well, it sure isn't my problem.

Because I have nothing else to say, here are some other random videos:

Atlantica Online Titan 34 PM session (SarahPhoenix VS. Runkis)
Why: Because I play Atlantica, I wasn't around for that Titan, and - holy love did Sarah always have those wings?@@@@2
Team Fortress 2: The 12 Days of Christmas
Why: Because I play TF2, it's almost Christmas, and you're clearly missing out if you don't understand the song.
Team Fortress 2: It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Dustbowl (Machinima)
Why: See above.


SHAMELESS ADVERTISING BWAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA.

MapleStory seems stable now
Topic by: Stephen

So after these past few weeks of server checks and lag, it seems that MapleGlobal is now stable.

To make up for it, there will be random GM skill buffs throughout MapleGlobal starting from today until January 6, 2009.

These buffs last for 90 minutes. If you'd like to see what kind of buffs you might get, check out our GM Skills page. (Note, you won't be getting Hide, Resurrect, or Teleport for obvious reasons)

Keeping you updated
Topic by: Stephen

Since MapleGlobal's own official website does not contain an RSS feed, we decided to hack together one that will allow you up to date information straight from MapleStory's website.

We currently support MapleGlobal and MapleSEA and it basically imports the news into our forums.

If you'd like to subscribe to our RSS feed for MapleGlobal or MapleSEA's official news, feel free to subscribe to the following links:

MapleGlobal:
http://forums.mapletip.com/index.php?/rss/forums/2-mapleglobal-news/


MapleSEA:

We hope you enjoy this new feature! As always, this information can be found by typing mapletip.com into your favorite RSS reader.

Enjoy!

This is in part to improve performance on MapleTip

Thank you all!
