EXP Hair Coupons

Here’s HealBilley and KarmaTornado at the Henesys Hair Salon. Haircut time with an EXP coupon!

HealBilley

Why would you get a EXP Hair coupon instead of a VIP coupon? It depends on which hairstyle you’re going for. Although VIP coupons allow you to pick the exact style you want, the choices are somewhat limited. EXP coupons give you more options, but the result is random.

Also, the cost is different:

  • VIP Hair Coupon = about 5,100 NX
  • EXP Hair Coupon = about 2,100 NX

Unless you’re very lucky and get your chosen style in 2 tries or less, with EXP you end up spending  more. If you only intend to change your look once, it can be worth it. And the randomness of it can be pretty exciting.

Well, enough suspense, let’s see what haircut HealBilley ended up with…!

KarmaTornado had some EXP coupon fun of her own. At first, she wanted the style called Cecilia Twist. (Cecilia Twist – Amoria Hair Salon)

But in the end, she decided to get the one called Desert Flower. (Desert Flower – Kerning City Hair Salon)

For about one minute between the first EXP coupon and the second, KarmaTornado had the style Ravishing Raven. Some people call this style Rukio, since it resembles Rukio from the anime Bleach. (Ravishing Raven – Kerning City Hair Salon)

So if you have some NX to spend on a haircut but aren’t sure what you want, knowing your options first is helpful. MapleFantasia has a fairly complete list of styles. If you find a more recent list, feel free to share it with us.

Sharkee the Crusader

I know it’s been awhile since Sharkee3000 got his 3rd job. He’s already lvl 73 now…! But the way I figure, better late than never. Here’s our one and only Crusader obliging my screenshot requests.

Congratulations on 3rd job Sharkee3000!

Here are a couple more from that outing, plus a couple of random earlier ones.

SadTigers Unite

‘SadTiger’ is a guild rank defined by CrazyFun1 in MapleStory. Cohlrox is our only member who insisted on having this rank restored to him after being promoted to ‘TigerCub.’ Henceforth, he is known as THE Sad Tiger. I have only one screenshot of Cohlrox, which I was hesitant to post because it’s a picture of his untimely death during a Monster Battle. In the end I decided to post it because of Cohlrox’s comment, “taking regular dirt naps is how SadTigers roll!”

MapleStory dirt naps can happen in many different ways. Here are some screenshots of SkullySword, MrSai, and Trilunar illustrating some common accidents.

King’s Screenshots

KingBui is a friendly, wise magician. We have some random things in common — we both:

  • play Ice/Lightning types in MapleStory
  • think Shikamaru is a (lazy) genius
  • like to wonder about the world

When I asked King if he had any screenshots, he sent me these. Thanks for sharing.  =]

MapleStory Guild Members

I came across MapleStory during a Guild Wars hiatus. Despite my intentions to keep to myself, I ended up meeting a great group of people. The ‘Fire Tigers’ are a kind-hearted, helpful bunch.

Guild Emblem Party
