Windraider/Crossroads Questions

[MaxKanisha]

Hey everyone,

I just got back into Maplestory about 2.5 weeks ago from a 2 year break. So many things have changed. I was looking at training spots and noticed that Windraiders seem like a good training spot for LVL 50-65. I just have a couple of questions though. For reference, I'm a level 47 DEX-less assassin.

- Is the Windraider training guide specifically for bowmen only? Or can assassins train there also?
- In the Windraider training guide, it says that level 50 is the lowest. Is that because of the accuracy you need in order to damage Windraiders?
- In the Windraider training guide, it says you start from the haunted house. And you can get there with the Taxi in NLC. Where is NLC exactly?

Any suggestions and comments would greatly be appreciated as well. Thanks to everyone in advance.

I know training there would be major pot burn, but I'm pretty well funded (370 MIL Mesos) so pot burning would not be a problem. Although I think I would need to recharge stars frequently, so would there be a place over at the haunted house (or whatever, never been there so I'm pretty much clueless) to recharge and re-pot?

I have this posted in the newbie forum, but I just thought that since I'm an assassin, maybe I should just post it here.

i don't think any non bowman class can 100% hit windraiders until level 55 since they are level 70 mobs

You can go to crossroad windraiders at lvl 50. Lower ascent would take too long to get to, and it wont be better than crossroads. In the haunted mansion, there are no stores. You must go back to nlc to recharge. NLC is new leaf city, and you get there from the kerning subway. The taxi is all the way at the left of nlc.

Okay so I went there for the first time yesterday and I tried to kill a Windraider and I couldn't even hit them. Now I'm starting to question if I'm going to be able to hit them at level 50, because I'm DEX-less with DarkSight maxed out. With all my AP going directly into LUK, I will be getting very few points in accuracy. Will I be able to hit at level 50 or even level 55? I checked the accuracy calculators but they don't have Windraiders there.

Any help would greatly be appreciated, thank you.

You can always fill in the boxes in the accuracy calculator for the Windraiders' level and avoid.

I went there at level 50 as a bowman, I missed some, but I got 60% an hour on 2x exp. With a zhelm you should be able to hit them pretty often.

If I'm looking at this calculator right, you need 106 accuracy to hit them 1% of the time at level 47. At level 55, it's 88 accuracy. Enter your accuracy under "character level" and the hit ratio is how often you'll hit them.
