The Aran Calculator V3.5-V3.8

The maple world is in great peril from the forces of evil, and no one is there to stop it... Long ago, the Black Magician invaded the world, trying to capture it, or destroy it, but was thrawt by Five Legendary Heroes... With the heroes gone, and the black magician returning, there is no hope left for the Maple World...or is there?

Enter the Aran!

The Aran is one of the five heroes who faught the Black Magician, and was encased in ice. Years later, the Arans finally come back on the island of Rienne, which is eternally in winter because of the curse. Woken by a pale girl, the Aran tries to gain back his power, and his memories.

You are the Aran. The Aran is unique in the sence that they use polearms and attack really fast. Sorry, that is not unique, you say? What about the fact that they use a new combo system that improves their power? Yes.

The Aran class was developed in KMS and was recently released in MSEA. On december the 9th, the class will be debued in GMS.

I created this calculator because I first wanted to see for myself how the Aran would compare to other classes. Once I started this little project, though, I felt like I needed to show everybody how well they could do also. While not exactly powerful on singular hits, they are great mobbers in the sense that they can hit about 12 monsters at a time. They also do not get all of their attacks right away, but have to do quests to get the skills.

Here are the two versions:

Supportive skills:Combo Ability, Booster, Mastery, Full Swing, Critical Combo, Smart KB, Snow Charge, Over Swing, Aggresion, SE (V3.6+)



Player Stats Panel

Add in your STR, DEX, and ATK here to calculate your damage. Also add in all of the passive and supportive skills here.

Ticking MW brings up a new range of cells next to STR and DEX where you add in your base stats and equip stats. Shows also your level and your accuracy.

Ticking Combo adds all of the damage together in a combo and places it at the end of the chain for those skills. (Ex. Normal+DA+TA, and the final damage will be in the TA, Normal+DA will show in the DA, and just normal will be in normal.)

Monster Stats

Shows the monster selected in a drop down list's stats to be used in your damage, as well as the number of mobs.

Skill Level
Set the skill level for each of your attack skills.

Max Critical / Min Critical / Max / Min
These values represent your damage range, and should reflect the damage you experience ingame. For mob skills, damage ranges for individual hits will be multiplied up to reflect the damage delivered to the whole mob. Also, for the more mobs hit, the damage per hit will lower, but the total damage will increase.

Exp Damage Without Critical (Devil-Will-Cry versions only)
This value is the damage done to the monster if you take critical out of the equation entirely. Will show without crit even with buffs on.

Exp Damage Critical Alone (Devil-Will-Cry versions only)
This value is the damage done with critical alone, factoring in: the damage done by a critical, and the critical chance of the critical, adding together into one number.

Exp Damage per Shot
When the Combo tab is checked, it will show the damage when you complete a combo. When unchecked, it will show the damage for that particular skill.

Damage per second
Shows the damage that you exhibit per second with that particular skill. When the Combo tab is checked, it will show the damage when you complete a combo. When unchecked, it will show the DPS for that particular skill.

Average HKO
This is the number of shots, on average, required to kill a monster of this type.

HKO Range
This is the fewest and most shots it should take to kill a monster of this type.

Chance of 1HKO
This is the percentage chance of killing the monster with one shot, or combo.

Chance of KB
This is the percentage chance of the skill causing the monster to be knocked back. This decreases with Smart Knockback.

Mesos per Shot
This uses the mesos and monster piece value on the table on the second tab. This factors in combo and a drop rate of 65%, and also the mp cost of the skill.

Exp per Shot
Average amount of experience you recieve during a combo.

Damage Recieved

This table factors in all stats (including INT and LUK) to calculate the damage recieved by a monster's magic and physical attacks.


This sheet also has enclosed a Monster Table and a table with all of the relevent skills.

You will notice that when you raise the Mob number, your damage per hit lowers. All of this can be explained here. Basically, to make sure Arans are not over-powered, when you have more mobs, you do less damage per monster, but more over-all.

If you have any sudjestions, feel free to tell me.


Special thanks to:
-Fiel, for this great site and the tables
-Spadow for his amazing picture featured in my calculator
-Sybaris of the IronArrows guild of Bera for the calculator I used as a template
-...All of you guys for being freaking amazing with all of the support.

UPDATE: I have fixed the bug with the damage recieved in the .xls format. You now are able to see the numbers. I also modified the MIN damage since Devil pointed out I was just down-right wrong! =P

UPDATE for V3.8: I have updated this because of three reasons: There was not enough room to put all of your STR and DEX in (New max is 1500), when looking at the Monster Table, the monster you are currently on will be high-lighted, and critical combo was "out of whack". I changed critical combo so that it would stack 10 times and give 6% chance and 10% damage each time, because, apparently, we may have been wrong before. Now, better than ever, V3.8 has fixed these problems and per-peeves and is one step closer to perfection! Well done guys!

Updated my V3.8 files to include a Boss Flag on boss monsters, meaning that Smart KB will not work on those that were flagged.


Final note: I locked the cells so that you may change the numbers for damage, but are not able to steal it! Be warned!
