First, it’s important to note that KMS and GMS are not exactly the same. GMS has exclusive classes such as Beast Tamer, Jett, Kanna, and Hayato that are not included in this chart. Onenote 2016 mac download. The job skills have different stats and mechanics between the two servers as well. Second, remember that these DPS/DPM figures are at max levels. For the first few minutes of the fight with Balrog, its HP bar will not go down. You must keep attacking, though, because this bit is a test of your strength. If you don't do enough damage (that doesn't register), you'll get kicked out. After that, the actual fight starts, and Balrog will take damage. Lord Balrog (usually just called Balrog) is the second boss content available, with the first being Easy Zakum. Players must be level 65 or higher to enter. To get to Balrog, go to the Sleepywood dungeon and go down the stairs all the way to the door.

Unable to damage some 'boss' enemies
edited November 2016 in Bug Reporting
Bug type: Functionality?
Brief bug summary: Unable to damage some 'boss' enemies More details: I am able to damage bosses such as Zakum, Hilla, and Horntail fine. Some enemies still classified as bosses, such as Il Capo or Capt. Latanica, I am not able to deal damage too. These are the only two 'bosses' I have tried to fight that I can not damage for some reason. No damage pops up, and there is no health bar. Steps to reproduce: I really have no idea. I don't have any other characters that are a high enough level to fight these bosses so it could be character specific. Whenever I try to fight these bosses, even after reinstalling the game, I seem to not be able to deal damage. I know this is the case and I can't just the see the boss health because my combo meter does not go up when attacking them. The usual sound effects for damaging still play but I do not deal damage (I sat there spamming Beyond Blade for 20 minutes and Il Capo didn't die). Character name: Aranrararara Character level: 144 Character job: Aran World name: Reboot Date and time of the incident: 11/20/2016 5:47PM Comments
Big Credits to Alalme on helping me learn how do this PQ when I was a newbie AND for his previous guide. It was really helpful, but I believe that a new, updated guide should be made. So here it is!This is my first guide, so I hope it's as good as the other ones out there! Table of ContentsWhat is the Balrog? The Basics The BPQ Lingo How do I get there? Is it worth it? How hard does he hit? How do I join a Balrog run? Easy Mode Normal Mode How do I lead a Balrog run? Timing Tips and Tricks Conclusion [header=what]What is the Balrog? The Balrog is a boss that has been out since Version 77. He has thwarted players from KMS and JMS before we have ever got it. This Balrog is nothing like the Junior or the Crimson Balrog. It is THE Balrog. Not much is known about him, but he has had some experiences with some Maple heroes such as Manji, Tristan (A legendary Maple hero) , and the previous Dark Lord. Seeking help, Tristan found the Dark Lord. Together, they went to take on the fierce Balrog. Having turned the Dark Lord into a monster, Tristan was killed by the Balrog. Manji was defeated as well, but he managed to seal the Balrog away. After many years of being sealed, Balrog is breaking free of his seal, and it's up to the world of Maplestory to seal him again! However, if you think this is a walk in the park, then you are sadly mistaken. [header=basic]The Basics of BPQ Maplestory Not Doing Any Dmg To Balrog Lord SongThe basic goal inside BPQ is to prevent Balrog from reviving. You can accomplish this by reducing Balrog's HP to 0, like every other boss. However, unlike any boss you have seen, there are some unique things you should know.Players level 50-69 will have no problems with attacking or using their skills. However, people with third job might have some problems with this. First of all, any third job skills that are NOT passive will not work here. Skills like Burst Fire or Meso Explosion cannot be used here. There is one skill in particular that WILL doom you here. The skill I am talking about is called Full Swing (Yes, an Aran skill). This skill, although will increase your damage outside the PQ, will NOT let you use double swing OR triple swing. So if you wanna continue doing this PQ while still being an okay 71+ attacker in here, DO NOT add SP to Full Swing until you think you have had enough leveling with this PQ. People level 71+ get their power cut down drastically. If you're a 15X Buccaneer with a damage range of 4096 ~ 5142, your damage range will be reduced to a fixed one of about 650 ~ 1024. The same thing applies if you are a level 71 Marauder, a level 86 Chief bandit, or a 200 Night Lord. Although each class gets their damage reduced to a certain range, I am only aware of the damage reduction for Pirates. I'm pretty sure each class hits around 600 - 1800 each hit. Another big thing in this PQ is the infamous Damage Reflect. You might be saying 'What is damage reflect?' Well, as the name implies, damage reflect is a mob buff that will return a high amount of damage back to you if you manage to hit that mob during damage reflect. For example, if you hit the Balrog during damage reflect, the damage inflicted will show up as 1 and you can get around 8,000-11,000 damage returned to you. Ouch. [header=word]BPQ Lingo There may be some words/acronyms you see in the PQ that you may not understand. Here, I will try to cover most of them. ![]() DR - Damage Reflect. Timer - Someone who able to Predict Balrog's damage reflection. Medal - A medal rewarded after starting a quest and then finishing 200 successful Balrog runs. BPQ - Balrog Party Quest/Balrog Expedition Quest. Zombify - An anti-buff that causes your HP potions' effectiveness reduced by 50%. That Unagi will now heal 500 HP instead of the 1,000 HP it usually does. Clerics/Priests/Bishops can actually kill you by healing. Split Loot - This is what most parties do during the bonus stage. Everyone gets to choose what they get (if it drops). All uncalled things are usually picked up by whoever gets them. FFA - Free For All. This means that in the bonus stage, whoever gets an item keeps it. There is no fair splitting or anything. It's just whoever gets the items first. Uncalled Weapons - Usually referring to the weapons that are not called during Split Loot. Some people call this during Split Loot. Card - The Balrog Card. Bain Weapons - A series of 'Epic' weapons dropped on the normal BPQ. These weapons are very, VERY rare, but incredibly good. If anyone knows of a word I left out, please PM me so I can add it! [header=loc]How do I get to the BPQ area? This is a very easy process. This is just here to let people know how to get here. Alalme: When you are ready to join a Balrog run, you need to head to a map called 'The Bottom of the Temple'.This map can be reached in two ways, you can either:
[url=http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/3344/entrancearea.png]Verify you're at the right place and not at Orbis [/url] [header=doit]Is BPQ Worth it? Yes! Even if you are doing easy or normal BPQ (Which I will explain later), every part of this PQ is definitely worth it! How much EXP, you ask? This varies on what difficulty you do. If you are doing easy, then you will get 260,000 EXP! That is a humongous amount for levels 50-70. How much does normal give. Take a guess. 400,000? 500,000? No. 520,000 EXP from one run! Just a side note. Easy takes about 15-20 minutes to complete, while normal takes 20-30 minutes to complete. Even with that note, I strongly recommend that you doing this PQ until you are 80 or so. [header=dmg]How hard does he hit? There are several attacks that Balrog is able to inflict on you. Here is a list:
Normal dmg - 2500
Normal dmg - 2600ish The Balrog uses 6 major attacks during this phase: (These aren't real names, just my inventions that seem appropriate) Bone Crusher: This attack also hits only the bottom level. A glowing rib-cage looking thing will fall from the ceiling. This will reduce your HP and MP to 1. Crunch: This attack hits anywhere inside the Balrog's Tomb. A purple jaw will appear around you and promptly snap down. This attack deals around 250-600 damage both in easy and normal. Rock Drop: Another attack striking everywhere inside the tomb. A rock will drop on your head. 300-600 damage. Easy and normal.
[header=join]How do I join a BPQ run? You must be level 50 or above to do a BPQ run. Easy mode can be done on any channel BUT channels 6 and 7. You must be 50-70 in order to participate in a Balrog run. Normal mode can be done ONLY on channels 6 and 7. Anyone above level 50 can participate. If you want to join a Balrog run, there are a few things to consider:
Signing up is a critical part in BPQ. Unlike other PQs, where all you do is wait for your party leader to start it, you must sign up manually. To sign up, simply talk to Mu Young (Red-haired dude) click next, and click on the option that says 'Participate in the Balrog Expedition Quest' or something like that. If you see the message 'You have been added to the expedition list,' congrats! You have signed up! However, if you see anything but, it can be one of several things:
There will be times you will be put on the probation list. This may be because you:
[header=easy]About Easy Mode Like I have stated above, easy mode is for levels 50-70 ONLY. Easy mode has a minimum of 3 people and a maximum of 6. The whole thing lasts for 20 minutes, but most parties finish in 15. Easy mode is split into three phases. Phase One Phase one lasts from 20:00 - 14:59. During this time, no damage to Balrog is dealt. So it would be a waste of pots to attack, right? Wrong. During this time, you MUST deal about 50,000 damage to Balrog or else you will get kicked out of this PQ. Most parties I have PQed with do the following during the first phase:
In case you did not understand that, most parties, after finalizing, stay outside until the timer on the top of the map (The Bottom of the Temple BTW) reaches 0:30. Why? This is a nice way to save pots. Some parties might go in earlier. Sometimes a bit [i]too[/i] early. Try to avoid parties that do not know what to do at all. The only parts you are able to hit are the head and the hand to the right. If you are leading the party, have all your melee or closed ranged attackers attack the hands. All your ranged classes (Archers, sins, etc.) should attack the head. Phase Two Phase two lasts from 14:59 to about 50% of the Balrog's health, where the HP bar is in the middle of the minutes and seconds in the time left. [url=http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/4867/easybegins.png]This is what it looks like when you start dealing damage to Balrog.[/url] During this time, you are now dealing damage to the Barlog. However, unlike the first phase, tombstones with the word 'hit' on them will pop up, either on the top left, the middle or the top-right. The Balrog's head will also turn purple. All attacks to the head will miss. It is ABSOLUTELY IMPORTANT to hit the tombstone ASAP. If you don't the Balrog WILL regenerate almost ALL of his health, resulting in a fail party. Make sure to hit these when they pop up. [url=http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/4879/tombstonep.png]Be aware of these![/url] Balrog's right hand (Or the hand to the left) will also be freed from its chains and be left open to attack. Brawlers/Marauders will find this hand more convenient to hit since the hand to the right forces them to jump in order to hit it. Phase Three This is where most parties perish and fail. This is the dreaded phase three, where Balrog uses his damage reflect. This starts when Balrog shows a message saying 'Silly Greenhorns, trying to seal me with such ameturish strength..' However, damage reflect does not start immediately. On easy mode, damage reflect starts when the HP bar reaches the Letter M in 'Time.' [url=http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/7442/dmgref.png]An Excellent Visual Example[/url] Damage reflect starts when Balrog's Horns flash red and he shows a circle with an axe in the middle. I explain how to time damage reflect in the section below Normal Mode. You should check it out! When the HP bar reaches the little clock, that is when Balrog is going to cast zombify. Don't worry if your time seems off by more than 20 seconds; it's just zombify. [url=http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/2613/zombify.png]Picture for you![/url] Go and tell the Balrog 'Good game sir!' Bonus Stage Congrats! You have reached the bonus stage! Just hit that thing in the middle, split the drops evenly, and celebrate your well-earned 260,000 EXP and one FREE Balrog leather!

For the most part, the procedures are the same. However, there are some major differences. Some are that instead of a max of six people, you have a maximum of 15 people at a time. This mode lasts for 30 minutes, unlike the 20 minutes on easy. So what makes this so hard? Keep reading and find out. Since Easy and Normal are so alike, I will only point out the differences in this section. Phase One This Phase lasts from 30:00 - 19:59. Note, Balrog's attack and HP are buffed up drastically. Another thing: anyone over level 71 will get their damage reduced by a ton. Everyone who is a ranged attacker (Bowmen, Sins, Slingers, etc.) should NOT touch the head. It hits a DEADLY 1,800 Damage, which would probably kill anyone who is ranged and level 70- instantly. Everything else is the same. Phase Two This phase lasts from 19 59 till about 50% of Balrog's HP. His head and hands have more defense, so you will deal less damage here. Again, this phase is pretty much the same as easy. Phase Three This is where most parties fail. Unlike easy, damage reflect is casted MUCH sooner. In fact, damage reflect is casted when the HP is somewhere between the minutes and seconds. Have your ranged people stop attacking and your unranged (Warriors, Brawlers, Dits, etc.) attack when the Balrog himself attacks. This is the safest way to attack. Damage reflect has a different timing, too. Everything else is the same, too. [url=http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/4194/normaldmgref.png]Somewhere around here is the point where damage reflect starts.[/url] Bonus Stage Congrats! You have beat the Balrog on Normal mode! Normal mode has the same drops as easy, but not only is there more, there are also the 'epic' Bain Weapons! In my opinion, I think these are some of the godliest statless items available. Here's a list: [url=http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/2003/maple0117.jpg]Bain Shooter[/url] [url=http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/1153/maple0110i.jpg]Bain Biter[/url] [url=http://img682.imageshack.us/img682/2158/maple0097.jpg]Bain Long Bow[/url] [url=http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/2530/maple0093w.jpg]Bain Pole Arm[/url] [url=http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/1521/maple0082.jpg]Bain Sword[/url] [url=http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/9282/maple0078.jpg]Bain Wings[/url] Chaos Scroll Clean Slate Scroll 3% Eternal Bullet [header=lead]How do I lead a Balrog run? Leading Balrog runs is not for everyone. Leaders must be patient, patient, patient, and patient. People WILL be late for runs, people WILL screw up on runs, people WILL ask stupid questions, and there's nothing you can do. Leading a Balrog run comes down to four parts.
[header=time]Timing Most people think of timing as 'too hard.' It's the exact opposite. There are two timing methods for Easy and Normal. QUICK NOTE: You will need to stop BEFORE the time given. If you stop At or after the time, chances are that your party will hit Balrog during damage reflect, and die out. I stop 3 - 5 seconds before the given time.
[header=tips]Tips and Tricks There is only one known trick inside the Balrog PQ. This is the Hero's Gladius. All you have to do is obtain the Gladius through the FM, Quest, or MTS. What does it do? It gives a buff that gives you 30 weapon attack and 30 magic attack. However, this buff CAN be nullified by party buffs such as Rage and Meditation. NX buffs have no effect on your Gladius, however. The quest can be started by finishing 'Maya and the Weird Medicine' first. If you decide to obtain the Hero's Gladius through the quest, you are able to do a series of quests. Unfortunately, Hidden Street does not have the quests on their database. However, I am able to provide some information about them. After the following quest (http://global.hidden-street.net/quest/victoria-island/manji-and-balrog), Mu Young tells you to kill one Balrog, regardless of difficulty. You get around 100,000 EXP from the quest. After that, he tells you to find a suspicious man, who can be found by walking down the Ant Tunnel until you reach a map called 'The Cave That Lost Light II.' Go to the bottom portal, and then go to the other bottom portal (The one with the figures I can't describe). Just walk down, and you'll see him. He will ask for 20 balrog leathers. I haven't completed this quest, but I'm assuming he gives you a pair of leather shoes. The Suspicious Man also gives scrolls for leathers. These are all the scrolls you can get. • Balrog's STR Scroll 30%: Improves STR on Balrog Leather Shoes. Success rate: 30%, STR +2 • Balrog's INT Scroll 30%: Improves INT on Balrog Leather Shoes.
