Recently, I have been told I should do easier maps instead of fun maps, because the other maps are too hard for me. I have never gone for pp, but since then I wanted to boost my pp. How many * maps should I play at 200k = 500pp ?

How to get pp fast for ±500pp?

2.5*, 3 if they bore you.
Did you know that boosting your pp will, in fact, not make you better and they're just a number showing your performances on various maps?
Play more of everything to get better, don't play stuff outside your actual capabilities, aka. don't spam maps you can't get decent accuracy on, like say below 90%, if you follow this guideline you'll more often than not find maps of your skill level that will make you progress more steadily, and that you will likely not develop bad habits that will later hinder your progression, because that's what spamming maps way too hard for you do.

When wolf says 90% that's talking about your first play not your 50th.
Play the hardest maps that you believe you could reasonably FC at your current skill level.
That's an easy one: look for maps that, when FC, will give you around 50 pp. Most of them should be around 2.5 to 3.0 stars if you have good accuracy.
Not necessarily, some peope have really bad sightreading and do much better with a few retrieschainpullz wrote:

I meant over 90% consistently, example if you can get 92-93% over 10 attempts in a row, then it's a good map to practice one from time to time

Most maps don't have high enough OD nomod to break 400pp and the few that do tend to be extremely difficult since all the pp is coming from things other than acc. There are plenty of maps that break 400pp with the added OD from HR though. There are also a lot of unranked maps that, were they ranked, would give over 400pp nomod.
Edit: If you want to think about things in terms of OD and star difficulty you need 7* to break 400pp at od8 and then for every .5 increase in od you can decrease star difficulty by ~.15. Also have to take map length into account to some extent. The difference between od8 and od10 is nearly 1* with star difficulty decrementing faster the closer you get to od10.
You can't get a 400 pp nomod score on Crack Traxxxx. Hvick fced it with 99.65% acc, and he only got a 321 pp score.chainpullz wrote:

Even if you SS'd every map in the game without mods you still probably wouldn't have more pp than hvick.
You can definitely get up there without alternating faster than 200bpm though. You just have to use OD increasing mods and have abnormally good aim. You just end up somewhat restricted in your map pool if you cross off alternating dt maps because you have to start relying on long map/stamina bonuses. Then again, if you are determined to not play DT/higher bpm then as long as you can play all the maps you want I don't see why pp even matters. Most of the fun difficult maps fitting this restriction aren't even ranked anyways.

no
stop derailing.
At this point nearly every play you make will get pp. Play more.

Why do you want to boost your pp? Shouldn't you rather try to boost your skills? There is only one instance where pp is free. This is actually when you made sufficient progress to the point that it comes with ease simply by playing the game.
Don't listen to people who tell you to get pp pp=/=skill just have fun playing man, you'll eventually get better.
There is a correlation between having more PP and being more skilled, though
