Leech Checks

[Arnah]

The default leech checks MapleStory used are still checked. They are the following.

1. Deal at least 1 damage to the monster.
2. Be within 5 levels of the monster.
3. Be within 5 levels of a party member that fulfills 1 or 2.

In Phoenix, the level difference checked in #2 and #3 is now capped at 20 levels under the monster level. You can still pass these checks if you have dealt at least 1 damage.

 

Phoenix has also added an anti AFK leech check. For damage dealt, you gain a certain amount of seconds for a "Leech Timer" which allows you to gain exp from monsters if you fulfill the checks listed above.

When a mob is killed you gain the resulting value as seconds in your leech timer.

ceil(damage / maxHp * 100) * JobMultiplier[jobCategory]

Assuming your multiplier is 1, If you did 50% of the health of a monster, you will gain 50 seconds to your timer.

Currently the timer is capped at 100 seconds, and the time is given before exp is distributed meaning you will always gain exp from the monster you just killed. Beginners are currently the only job with a multiplier higher than 1.

 

Clerics & Priests have special handling for Heal.

To have the below checks active, the Cleric/Priest must have an active leech timer from damaging killed monsters, and the party member being healed also must have an active leech timer.

Every heal that increases the HP of an active party member, not including yourself, will give 5 seconds of leech with a cap of 20 seconds. This is the same timer used for killing monsters. Healing while above this 20 second cap, even if those seconds are gained from damaging monsters, will not increase the time.

 

Players determined afk by this system will not contribute to the total member count for Holy Symbol and Party Exp Bonus, but will count towards the parties total level which is used for party exp split.
Bosses will increase the leech timer but ignore the active check and distribute exp normally.
When the timer runs out you will be notified using the in-game chat.

 

Bosses like Anego, Bigfoot, Headless Horseman will do a custom split exp based on Damage Dealt to prevent boss leeching.

 

Further changes to Exp Split checks & Leech checks are expected and you should refer to this page if such changes have happened.
