[EMS] Maple Union: 7000 Total Levels!

Sup guys! With the release of Adele last week, I've hit a total level of 7000 on the Union system - partially unexpected.

I was close to the 7000 milestone, but in reality that was a few events away. As I've explained in my previous Union-related blogpost, I tend to accumulate levels through the (weekly) Union EXP potions and participate in events where they give out Storm Growth Potions. Y'know, slow but steady.

From what I recall, before the Rise update was launched in EMS, my total level score was around 6940-ish. If I were to get three Level 180 mules to Level 200 through Storm Growth Potions, that would've sufficed. That would've been my usual plan of approach. Although I'm clearly ahead of schedule - what's that about?

Usually when a class comes out, there's a small celebratory grinding event where a handful of rewards are given to players who reach certain milestones on this new character. What these milestones are and what rewards are given out are always different, but it's been a staple of an event for over a decade. But in most cases I don't really care that much for these type of events, unless there's a valuable resource or item to be gained from it (i.e. Adventure Rings, Maple Points). Although I certainly do always create the next-in-line class, out of pure curiosity and enjoyment. I can always use some more storage space...

So, because I had way too many Reward Points gained from the currently ongoing Maple Relay, I had decided to casually grind an Adele to Level 200 for the sake of getting the permanent outfit from that celebratory grinding event.

Yay, I guess. Not that I'm planning to use that outfit... Although those weekly Nodestones and the Level 200 STR card are kinda useful. While those STR cards are currently not my priority in terms of choosing what mule goes to Level 200 first, I'll tackle them eventually. Either way, doing that casual grind was enough to go past 7000 total levels.

I have no idea how long it'll take to reach that 7500 milestone, though - Nexon's been making events far more rewarding than last year with those "bonk Storm Growth Potions" where you get multiple levels per potion. Heck, there's another stack of those coming up next week. Should give my old Mechanic a boost in levels.

Anyway, that's it for today. I have plenty of work left on that Definitive Edition thing... I'll see you guys again next post!
