Dual Blade and Evan classes require you buy their mastery books in order to fully spend your skill points and make the most out of those characters. However I think they were meant to be the only 'premium' classes in MapleStory anyways so..

Power as far as this concept is going is merely a gimmick in order for them to aquire your $ $ $

But in free to play games, understandable.


I also like the part where they call it a "Donation".
More like a donation to buy the kid's next bag of potato chips.

shielding wards
miracle cubes
gachapon tickets (to get rare items)
pets, and pet equips that add attack
scroll percentage boosters
shops
scissors of karma (to trade rare items)
2x exp/drop
item locks
those hourglasses that extend item times (can be used on certain non CS items)
mastery books for DB/Evan
teleport rocks
inventory slots
aura rings (CS item. gives stats)
second pendant slot
wedding coupons (rings give stats)
vicious hammer (more slots on an item = more upgrades = more power)
access to the MTS (buying hacked weapons) <--- this one makes you a friend but it's still buying power


all of these give some sort of advantage that cannot be obtained A) easily or B) at all in regular non-paid play

the list goes on, and on, and on.

Do you need to buy any of them with NX in order to do well in the game?
No, you don't buy any sort of real power through NX, and a lot of the stuff you listed can either be bought with Mesos or result in an item which can be found for sale in the Free Market, paying for inconsequential power is perfectly okay because they don't make you into an obscenely overpowered badass who nobody else can touch because they didn't shell out $100 or spend an entire week doing surveys.

All skillbooks can be bought and sold in the free market, they aren't paying for anything that only they can get in that instance
