Lots of Productivity! - 'Maplestory, Anniversary', Maple Items, Maple Story

Well, it has been a very productive anniversary of MS recently! I'll start off in the order that they happened. Last year, I hunted at bubblings for days hoping to get a Maple Shield, only to find they didn't drop anymore. This year, I have FINALLY found one! (Pic 1, 2, 3) Then, about 10 monsters later, a Maple Soul Singer (pic 4)! And to put the icing on the Item cake, I found these 2 drops plus 3 others during Double EXP, and none during Double Drop! Talk about strange.... The next good thing is the fact that I got into a guild. I used to be friends with a person who has a guild now, and I ran into him while travelling, and he asked me to join! So now my Assasin has a good guild...finally.... And the last good thing, is that my Sin has leveled up to lvl 31. Still levelling like mad at Masks.
