Your total level seems a bit low. I'm currently stuck at level 100, senior 3, waiting for the next rank-up availability (Jan 3). For the total duration of the event, you could miss out about 2 weeks. You will probably need to be more proactive in your AFKing (hiring mid AFKing, swapping out Mercs and ranking up mid AFK for the extra hour). Edit: The event gets progressively easier as you rank up since you will be able to AFK more Mercs at the same time (up to 5 at Master Rank). I believe you could technically gain around 45 levels in one night at Master 3, but you need the Mercs to do so (keep hiring!).
@@necromimi I hate the timer, I’m not sure what’s the max hours I can afk. But I’m def gonna try to be more proactive with the afk and swapping out cause after I finish my dailies I usually afk overnight to max out hours.
@@Indra..x Yeah, the visual bug is a bummer. Max AFK time depends on your Command Rank: - Beginner: 2hrs - Junior: 3hrs - Senior: 4 to 6hrs (3 ranks) - Veteran: 7 to 9hrs (3 ranks) - Master: 10 to 12hrs (3 ranks)
@@necromimi ohhhhh thanks so much for this info, this is hugge !!! I’m currently sitting at senior 3,exp lvl 53 and waiting on reset but do you think it’s worth it to run my nami (lv10) with holy symbol to lvl up lower mercs to lv 10 ? Can currently hire 3.
@@necromimi this event just dropped for SEA and I was browsing through for guides on it and yours was the most concise 🙌 this event is miles better than Misty Island; better final reward and not as much brainpower needed, but man my electricity bills are surely gonna spike from this 😭
@@chunweng The event itself is not permanent, but the legion block reward is 👍. It gives M/ATK+35 and does not count towards the number of members assigned on the board. You can place up to 2 event legion blocks on there - at least that's how it works in GMS.
I'm honestly not sure. You might have to check back tomorrow. I usually hire before ranking up. Maybe it'll reappear once you hire all the Mercs available at the new rank.
@@waynelw4141 Unless they somehow changed it from GMS, it should work just like any other legion block (all chars within the same world share it). It doesn't count towards the max assigned members, so it's an extra block of stats for freeeeeee 👍.
Hi, are you able to claim reputation more than once a day? Example, claim reputation at 5-hours and again at 8-hours (for the remaining 3 hours)? I need 1600 reputation to recruit, and afk 5 hours I would have sufficient reputation.
IIRC, you could claim Reputation multiple times throughout the day. I believe the Expedition rewards and ranking up were once/day. This event was a while ago for GMS, but I'm pretty sure Pascal (NPC) should tell you before claiming (read through, don't hold down NPC Chat key xD).
I don't believe there is a Fakesolab reward from this event, but you can get some growth pots, selectors, flames, nodes, etc. The legion block is part of the final reward. You should still be able to finish, but you def need to sweat out the first week. Follow oSilent's spreadsheet linked in the description for the first 6-7 days.
Take a look at the recommended skills in the oSilent document in the description if you're unsure which to delete/keep. Since there are only 25 Mercenaries total, I kind of assumed 5 per class, so I keep 5-6 skills for each slot for each class, and delete extra ones/weaker versions as I get more.
0:30 timestamp. Defeat Manon, 220 levels, Master Rank 3. (You also technically need to defeat the boss from the area right before Manon at least once to unlock Manon's area.)
GMS got this event a while ago, but I believe the general idea was to AFK your lowest level Mercs overnight to gain more overall Expedition levels faster, which unlock higher rank and consequently more Mercs.
im at level 30 right now am i fkd,, i cant even find the 4hour map which one is it ? there is so many afk maps (well 2options but seems like theres a couple of maps)
Maps don't matter, they just determine the base EXP for the Maple character you AFK on. I'm currently on Day 20 (maybe 21), 168 total levels, and I am time-gated for another week to unlock Master Rank. In the meantime, I will probably unlock another 3 Mercenaries, which would bring me to 200 total levels. After unlocking Master Rank, I should be done in 2 days (if I get 2 more Mercenaries), so around 30 days total to finish the event (including about 1.5 weeks' worth of time-gating, which shouldn't be an issue for you). If you sweat, you might be able to finish the event, but you are cutting it close. Event ends on Feb 6th.
thank u so much for the detailed response but unfortunately i still have no idea what im doing bcos im dyslexic and retarded anyhow we shall go next. (ps. i been afking in maps for hours and feels like im stuck at level 30 is this normal my levels wont go up)@@necromimi
Check out 1:31 for what to do at reset every day in details. TLDR is at 7:13. Mercenaries cap at Level 10, so you need to recruit more and AFK on lower-level ones to gain more Expedition levels. @@usudolf6606
You should be. It apparently takes 26 days to finish the event if you aren't timegated. I am currently waiting for Master Rank to unlock. I should be able to finish the event around Jan 20-22, given I didn't miss a day. The event ends on Feb 6. Timegated ranks shouldn't be an issue for you though. It also gets easier to gain levels over time since more Mercs, higher rank, bigger crew, more AFK time, etc.
I’m sitting at around lvl 33 and senior 1. I’ve missed about a good 6-7 days. Will I be able to still get the block to max level ?

@@Indra..x Holy Symbol only affects the Maple character you AFK on. Mercenaries only level up with time (800mins for level 10).
this is the best guide I’ve seen for this event, thanks for your work!

Thanks for this! Is the event a perpetual thing or.. does it expire once it's over?

@@necromimi gotcha thanks!
boss do fma every min but can be dodge by summoning mercenaries to you
Good guide, thanks. One question do you lose reputation and expedition rewards you have accumulated if you dont claim it before next day reset. ?
Yes. You MUST claim rep and rewards with Pascal before the following reset.
Thank you😊
I ranked up to Veteran I. And I'm not seeing the mercenary with 800 reputation that was on Norman. Have I lost it ?
I'm honestly not sure. You might have to check back tomorrow. I usually hire before ranking up. Maybe it'll reappear once you hire all the Mercs available at the new rank.
Hi from msea. Is it possible to get 2 legion blocks (eg: Lv 250 +35 Att & Lv 200 +28) from this event by playing 1 character? or need 2 char?
GMS doesn't have different legion block levels, only the level 250 +35 M/ATK one (and it can only be claimed once per world). I'm not sure about MSEA.
they just announced the event for SEA. there’s only the 250 block for us
Thankss for the guide!! By the way is the legion block shared across the account or only the account who did this can get the legion block?

@@necromimi thanks 😁
How is everyone getting all of these good weapons?! I guess I’m just extremely unlucky…
Defeating stronger bosses, daily missions in later areas, AFKing a long time... And good ol' RNG 🙏. ATM most of my Mercs have Absos 👀👌.

Too many skills too few slots 😭

Hey Can you confirm if the total level needed for the +35 attack block is overall level 250+kill manon?
0:30 timestamp. Defeat Manon, 220 levels, Master Rank 3. (You also technically need to defeat the boss from the area right before Manon at least once to unlock Manon's area.)
Appreciate the reply. Why does it say 250 on the maple event page then?
@@Amineooo That's odd. The screenshots were taken from the patch notes and they say 220. I just Ctrl+F 250 and don't see anything in there.
I from msea, now day 2 after I level up 1 mec to lv 5, do I continue to lv up or afk the new lv 1 mec?

truly appreciate it, u seem to have pointed out exactly what i was missing and needed @@necromimi
Can this be done in 16 days?
No. It takes almost a full month.
may i ask what microphone youre using?
HyperX QuadCast!
i have the same one too, i guess i need to play around with my mic seettings LOL. yours is crispy!
I speak very closely to the mic or else I sometimes sound like I'm in a can, I don't know if that helps 😂.@@sle3py122
I’m at 110 will I make it?
You should be. It apparently takes 26 days to finish the event if you aren't timegated.

Timegated ranks shouldn't be an issue for you though. It also gets easier to gain levels over time since more Mercs, higher rank, bigger crew, more AFK time, etc.
