Maple Storyof Maple Story loginMaple Story is a free, anime/fantasy, 2D side-scrolling MMORPG developed by the Korean company Wizet. Maple Story has been released in Japan, Korea and China, and is currently in a beta stage of development for the world at large. In the game, the player defends the "Maple World" from monsters and can chat with other players. of the game in action GameplayCharacter advancement comes through gaining experience points, levelling up, and collecting items and pieces of wieldable/wearable equipment. The player combats monsters, acquiring money (in a currency called mesos) and various items as well as completing quests.
The Beta version of Maple Story on its Global server takes place in a world called Tespia. When the full version is released, it is most likely that other worlds will be added. The action begins on Maple Island, a floating island designed for new players. Once the player gains enough mesos, they can buy a ticket to sail to Victoria Island via the boat located in the town of Southperry. At level 8 your character can become a magician. And at level 10, the player can choose between three other character classes or jobs as well. These classes are: the Bowman, the Thief, and the Warrior. Keep in mind that the player can only choose one class. You arrive at Victoria island in a place called Lith Harbour, which is ideal for beginners (Chracters without jobs). After vacating Lith Harbour, a player may explore the whole island, which includes such areas as: Perion (Warrior's Mountain), Kerning City (Thief's City), Henesys (Bowman's Town) and Ellinia (Magician's Forest). Also, in the center of the island, there is a place called the Dungeon. As a player advances in the game, the character will eventually become mature enough to enter the Dungeon and reveal its mysteries. There are four types of stats, which will decide which Job your character will choose. Str: Strength - This attribute increases the maximum power of melee attacks. Dex: Dexterity - This attribute increases the accuracy of all attacks. Int: Intelligence - This attribute increases the maximum power of magic attacks. Luk: Luck - This attribute increases avoidability of your character. Skills
There are also different skills available for your character to use. These skills differ across the different job types. These skills range from those that help you to hit more damage, to hit mobs to those that allows you to increase your different attributes. The full list can be found in the official Maple Story website at http://www.mapleglobal.com Magicians tend to concentrate on Int and Luk. Thieves tend to concentrate on Luk and Dex. Warriors tend to concentrate on Str and Dex.
Mage Training Guide:Roll a 4 str/4 dex for your starting stats. If you are impatient, a 5/4 or a 4/5 is okay too. Train just enough LUK to wear your equipment and train the rest on INT. This allows you to hit more damage. Mages often need team-mates to work effectively, especially at lower levels when they are lacking in MP (and are able to cast many spells before running out). It is advised they carry a lot of MP potions until they reach level 18, at which point they can use the spell called Magic Claw (a relatively strong spell).
LEVELS 1-8(Maple Island): Snails. ONLY blue and green. Red snails will take too much time. At level 8, proceed to Hines in Ellinia to become a Magician. LEVELS 8-10: Henesys Hunting Ground (first level only) Do not touch the orange/green mushrooms as you will incur massive damage for your hp. LEVELS 10-15: Slime Tree near Ellinia/Henesys Hunting Ground on slime/orange mushroom. Kill all those ugly slimes to get major exp(10), 15 for orange mushroom LEVELS 15-18: Fight pigs a bit more now, but still focus on slimes/orange mushrooms. LEVELS 18-30: Kill the blue horned mushrooms/green mushrooms in the Ellinia Horned Mushroom Tree. (For magicians, it is not hard as a magician with level 20 magic claw can easily kill a horned muchroom in one hit) At level 28, try to do the PQ quest. If you are playing at night, you should not do the Party Quest unless you have an auto-clicker or "track" (previous party member who entered), because it will be hard to get in without those. Mages are in most demand for the PQ quest, because of their high damage at level 21-30 (Level 30 warriors are in even higher demand though, because they can easily do tons of damage without losing alot of health). LEVELS 30-35(40): Begin to explore the Sleepywood Dungeon. A warrior team-mate comes in handy as (as a mage) you will recieve a lot of damage. Clerics can use the Heal skill, which allows you to save on HP potions. The Zombie Mushrooms and Horned Mushrooms should be quite easy. Clerics at level 35 can attempt to heal the zombie mushrooms which will hit for about 100-150 damage. LEVELS 35(40)-45: Venture very deep within the dungeons (Caves of Evil Eye). LEVELS 45+: Venture very deep within the dungeons (Caves of Evil Eye, Drake Hunting Ground, etc.) Lightning mages should train in Florina Beach (Lorang is weak vs. lightning) Fire mages on Curse Eyes and Cold Eyes, Cleric on Zombie Lupins and ice mages on Fire Boars, Copper Drakes or Drakes. For the more adventerous player over level 50, try taking on the higher level Tauromacis/Taurospear, and if you are level 60+, the Jr. Barlog(Level80), the currently strongest monster on Victoria Island.
QuestsIn Maple Story users have an option to do quests, but are not required too, but users in the end recive EXP and sometimes rare quest-only items. Any Level: Blackbull's New House This quest is pretty simple. You need to collect 50 firewood and 50 tree branches (It may be leaves)to help Blackbull build his house. Blackbull is right above the Taxi in Perion (Warrior's Mountain) and he is the man that looks like a Red Indian. Talk to him, and he will give you the quest. Most tree monsters are around Perion. Be careful in fighting them if you're under level 18 and aren't a mage, because they are often grouped with axe stumps, or even dark axe stumps, which will hurt you at a low level. After gathering the items, talk to Blackbull. You will have a 10% chance to get a Red Triangular Shield (sells for 50k or so) and a 90% chance for a Steel Square Shield (Not alot, will only sell for 3K if you try to sell it in a shop). Level 20-30: (Many quests are around this level) Shumi's Lost Coin: Shumi's Lost Coin will most definitely irritate you. If this is your first time doing a jump quest (quest where you jump around, doing things at the EXACT right time), then you will have to do this multiple times. First, talk to Shumi right next to the Subway in Kerning. She will give you the quest, and tell you to go into B1. Go into the subway and buy a ticket from the bald man at the bottom. He will tell you to pay around 100 meso for it. Pay, and then use it on the Ticket Machine. Once you get in, use either the top or second teleport. Just study everything, and find out a pattern to go through. After you get into B2, you will see LOTS of stirges and LOTS of electrical wires. This may look hard, but it's very simple. Just keep jumping, without taking your hand off Alt (or whatever jump button you use)and you will easily reach the top. You will then see a ladder with stirges around it. This is easy. Just climb it when the stirges are away. Go into the teleport and you will find yourself with many,many Bubblings. To get into the subway, go to the sign at the bottom. You will teleport to the top. Then, either grab your coin and leave, or train for a limit of 100 minutes on the huge load of bubblings. In return, Shumi will give you 30 scrolls for a random town. The best is to Sleepywood. Common Scams Some people scam the new players by offering a low price for the items. DO NOT sell your ores for 300 meso each to a player. They are worth about 1000 each. External links
