Guide for Exchange Quest In MapleStory

2010-08-16T10:22:00.000+08:00

There's a man in Orbis named Staff Sergeant Charlie who is accepting etc drops from specific Ossyria monsters for 500 experience, it will give you some rewards. A list of the tradable items and possible rewards is already compiled on Hidden-Street here. Some items are relatively more effective access to import and export import and export of hunting was the monster. Specifically, the Solid Horns from the Jr. Kitties have the best ratio, as the only other monsters weaker in Ossyria are not accepted in the exchange quest.

Other items, like Bain Collars and Lycanthrope Toenails, are merely a novelty exchange, as the reward likely pales in comparison to the items gained while hunting down the monsters in Maplestory. Some projects also purchased a large number of low level characters using the standard. Though a character leveled by this method needs to be a minimum level 10 to reach Orbis, training is incredibly fast, gaining 500 exp in a matter of seconds.

At a higher level, however, this approach becomes less effective. Eventually, the exchange became merely a useful way to remove unwanted programs and other projects, although net sales between them is always an option. Solid horns are usually preferred to level up a lower-level character, due to the number of players training on the Jr. Kitties at any one time. Zombie Teeth are more expensive, but the chance of getting a Fairy Wing as a reward can offset this extra cost.

Zones of Island In Maplestory!

2010-07-08T13:10:00.001+08:00

The world of MapleStory consists of Maple Island, Victoria Island and Ossyria. The following will give you a description of the islands and the towns and villages that each is comprised of:

Maple Island

(image: maps>"maple island") Maple Island is in the game, everyone will start their journey as a beginner the first place. This is the new player can start to learn and use their character's basic skills of the game. The place consists of small towns made up of houses and shops and inhabited by monsters that randomly and constantly appear in Maplestory.

There are three towns that make up the island, these are the "Mushroom Town", a town with quests that will require players to perform simple tasks while learning the basics of jumping and attacking; "Amherst", another small town where one will find an armory and shop for potions; and "South Perry", otherwise known as the harbor town, where you will board a ship to get to Victoria Island. It is recommended to stay at Maple Island until one has reached level 8 for would-be-Magicians and level 10 for the other classes

MapleStory Player Guide for Event

2010-06-21T10:31:00.001+08:00

On certain days, the Game MapleStory Mesos Masters(or GMs) host special events in which any player is capable of participating, given their character is at a given map during the event time. All participants receive a trophy, and winners receive a random prize.

User is a notification about events in Maplestory from the top of the screen scroll box. Event is the influx of well-known players brought to the location of each event, which usually results in a large number of connection lag. Special events include Christmas activities, wedding activities, drawing activities, and find out. For example, players might need to find a project and return to the event for the people's congress or general manager.

Occasionally, certain versions of the game hold events that celebrate a certain event in real-life or an event specific to that version, such as a holiday or new server release. During these events, certain aspects of the game are modified in celebration. For example, the experience rate or drop rate may be increased, or special items may be released.

Choose a World To Play Maplestory

2010-06-17T09:20:00.001+08:00

There are two reasons in Maplestory, mainly to select only a particular world, those people and friends. If you have friends in some of the world, you might want to play in the world then you can play with. High population server means a wider market, so there are more people selling things you might want to buy in game, more choice and join guilds, and more people to the party. The shortcomings of a population is to explore the map of high competition and party competition.

You may find yourself changing channels a lot to find a channel with no one in a spot you want to train in, depending on how popular the spot is. The same goes for trying to enter party quests. Scania and Windia probably have the highest population in Maplestory right now. We choose Windia since it's a little less than Scania, but still high enough that there is not a lack of people for whatever we may want/need.

Maplestory Killing Of Thoughs

2010-06-07T13:58:00.001+08:00

We were thinking along the line that after the 4 parties has gone into smoke screen:

The 5 marksman can snipe at least 3 times against pink bean.
The paladin can heaven's hammer(sanctuary) at least twice against pink bean.
The 4 shadowers can ds + assasinate +bs at least twice against pink bean.

In the event that they do full damage, It will be marksman 199k x5 x3 approximately 3m, paladin hh(sanctuary) approx 199kx2 = 400k, 4 shadowers assasinate = not sure on the optimum damage here. Total = approx 3.4m of theoretical damage.

Hope that some1 will down Pink Bean soon. Remember Pink bean requires the effort of the server and there are many washed players around, except that they may not be prominent, it takes effort to find them.

BTW, Corsairs have high DPM instead of NLs, you can substitute your party with some 16k hp corsairs. Though NLs may be preferred for their high avoidance which will be higher + other avoidance. MM should be included for their kb but finding 26k with hb is a challenge. However the real challenge is finding:

at least 8 nl with at least 16k hp ,26k hb.
at least 4 shadowers with at least 16k hp,26k hb.
at least 5 bm/mm with at least 16k hp,26k hb.
at least 3 hero 3 paladin 5 dark knight with 30k hp with hb.

MapleStory Useful Guide

2010-05-31T14:41:00.000+08:00

Quests - to hide the streets and look for the attk scrolls gloves, do they. Money is worth or any other banner.

Boss in Maplestory - they do not give up any good thing, considering that most spawning a 30-1 hour (average boss, blue mushmom spawning rate, 24 hours we believe). And in most cases, you have been ks'ed high-level figures, that bishop.

Events - we have heard Maple Leaf is selling the 4 - 8K each (ie - 1000 = 4 million - 800 million). Only to find a good nesting place, or do casandras frame material, you are one, and if you are lucky 500 leaves.

Hunting rare items - hate us, if you want, but spending hours hare grinding on drums, cubic mud, cold eyes, or zombie mushrooms, (Zombie and the drum small dungeones) and persistent organic pollutants rolling a confusion - the value of 50-80 mill. Currently, there are still millions of lonely unless the reason interferes with the market. (Killed 6 weeks Feng economy).

However, note down the rabbit drum, red whip, (1-5 plants), panlid (50 million - 2mill), scroll, and a large number of leaves (600 per 1 hour average). As the killing rate. Bubblings drop maple shield, also cube mud - 10-30 Mill still, but in a week, which will significantly lower (keep 3-6 months, it is 25-50 per mill).

Small selkie, 60 level, - 220 import and export, 4.8 - 5.2k hp, drops steelies. - Red drakes steelies. The views of the other heirs, so that of Panax quinquefolius in the money, selling pot, and level them as insane, come back, your level, and requested 70 + happy mapling.

Where to choose good loction to train for Claw Rogues In Maplestory

2010-05-25T10:41:00.001+08:00

Level 10-13: you do not have your extended range yet, too bad. To save money, you probably want to switch between the Wrist Guard and the short sword depending on what enemies you are fighting for more powerful enemies you will want the Wrist Guard. Go to Henesys Hunting Ground and kill some snails for now. If you are feeling adventurous, go to the slime tree, and start de-sliming.

Now, you have lucky seven, killing mud is very easy. If your funds, if you have an additional, higher level features in Maplestory, you can take some money, buy better claw or throwing stars over and over again to lose weight more easily experiment Ellinia. Fear of assassins power. Another option for levels 10-14/16 is to kill orange mushrooms, they give more experience than slimes and can generally be killed in 3-4 hits. If you put your level 10 skill point on lucky 7, regular pigs can be killed using only 3 stars. Henesys Party Quest is a good option.

Level 14-16: Go up the levels of Henesys Hunting Grounds. HHG 3 is generally the best open empty spot. Because it is difficult to find the number of pigs is not next to the ribbon pig to travel, in addition to all the towns, kill all the killable perion. Another good leveling location is the map East of Kerning City, where you can easily kill Octopus and Green Mushroom, giving you quick EXP, although be sure to stock up on potions! Leveling should be extremely fast if you are funded with kumbis or better.

Warrior Skills and Builds for Level 1-16 In Maplestory

2010-05-17T10:56:00.000+08:00

Here are the skills of a Warrior and what they do at certain levels during growth.

Hermit Training Guide for Level 71-90 in Maplestory

2010-05-10T10:52:00.001+08:00

Level 71-80: Stay on STD's or Zombies and even H/Voodoos Would be great. Maybe team up on Werewolfs, do not use Avenger on Werewolves, being swarmed with attacks that do up to 20% of your HP is least thing you would want, until you max out avenger do not go for anything stronger than you are.

At level 77- 78 in Maplestory: you can head to Death Teddies, if your shadow partner in level 21 or if you have been only putting points into Shadow Partner, since at that point it will last for 3 minutes which are godly experience, but get over 1000 damage physical and around 1400 damage with their magic attack.

Level 81-90: This period of time is known as Assassin hell due to the fact that at these levels monsters are hard to train on for the experience they give, and the fact that you will be spending millions for just a couple levels. Try to team up with a Fighter and take on Lycanthropes that is what we did, you might have your own idea. So follow this Maplestory guide at your own risk/will, or head over to Death Teddies.

Go to Ludi, enter toy factory, keep going down until you reach a map, then go in the portal on the right. Go through two maps, filled with soul teddies first and master soul teddies and the second filled with clocks and dark clocks, then you will be at our personal favorite map for Death Teddies.

Maplestory Sniper / Marksman Guide

2010-05-07T10:28:00.000+08:00

1. Purpose

The purpose of this guide is to inform aspiring Snipers and Marksman about how to raise their characters, how they should train, what they should watch out for, and most importantly, what makes them worthwhile. This guide is specifically tailored for maplers who have raised their crossbowman close to lvl 70 and are looking for information as to what lie ahead.

To put it simply, use this guide for details on snipers and marksman,and refer to other hiddenstreet.net guides for more details regarding archers and crossbowman.

I'm going to say this right now...Don't make a crossbowman unless you are plan to
bring it to 3rd or 4th job. Crossbowman just don't have the attack speed or arrow bombing capabilities that hunters do. If you aren't going to beyond lvl 55, pick hunter over crossbowman.

2. Why Sniper/Marksman?

" Voted 4th-highest damage-dealing class behind NL/DKs/CBs with ME(May have changed slightly since the appearance of 4th job)

" Marksman's 4th job bird is useful for training (Bowmaster's 4th job bird is only for show)
" Amazing party buff attainable at 4th job (Sharp Eyes)
" Powerful long/short distance attacks in 3rd and 4th job

5. Detailed Info on How Sniper and Marksman Skills Work

Blizzard
" Lvl 1-10 provide one second freeze with varying damage
" Lvl 11-20 provide 2 second freeze with varying damage
" Lvl 21 provides 3 second freee
" Lvl 22+ universally considered not skill-point efficient

Strafe
" Main damage-dealing attack all throughout 3rd and 4th job
" Max this out as soon as possible to completely replace double shot

Arrow Eruption
" Attacks up to six monsters at a time
" Maximum area which Arrow Eruption affects increases in radius at lvls 1, 11, and 21
" First bowman attack which can attack monsters point-blank
" Has more vertical range (Ranger's Arrow Rain has more horizontal Range)
" Useful all throughout 3rd and 4th job
" Needed to make goby-training reliable (Aqua Road)

Puppet
" Attack desired monster(s) first before summoning in order for it's effect to kick in
" Provoked monsters will try to attack the Puppet instead of you
" Makes it possible to solo some bosses like Thanatos, Griffey, etc if used skillfully
" Doesn't require a summoning rock to summon
" Needed to make squid-training reliable (Aqua Road)

Golden Eagle
" Stun rate, attack rate, and damage range all increase as more points are added to it
" Requires one summoning rock to use and lasts 3 min
" The more points you add to it, the less 'bang' you get from each skill point
" Leave at 25 pts instead of maxing because 97% stun rate is enough
" Need at least 15 pts in it in order to put point in 4th job bird (Frostprey)
" Needed to make newt-training reliable (Leafre)

Mortal Blow
" Main benefit is to attack monsters from point blank range
" Adding points to Mortal Blow increases success rate of point-blank atk, damage of point-blank atk, and possibility of one-shotting a monster that's at half health or less
" Max out for training/situational convenience later on down the road

Thrust
" First 10 points add 2 pts of permanent speed, while next 10 points add 1 pt of speed
" I chose to add 7 pts of Thrust to comfortably replace my Icarus Cape(2) for a Pink Adventurer Cape and to replace my 60% shoe speed scrolling with 60% shoe jump scrolling
" Don't add more than 10 pts to this skill

Frostprey
" One of the most useful one-point skills in the game
" The main reason why you would would choose Marksman over Bowmaster (besides Snipe)
" 1 point of Frostprey completely replaces 30 points of Golden Eagle AND eliminates the need to purchase summoning rocks
" Bowmasters still are stuck with their 3rd job bird because their 4th job bird can't freeze or stun enemies at all (only fo' sho')
" Universally agreed that 1 point of Frostprey should be added at lvl 120 NO EXCEPTIONS

Marksman Boost
" Increases xbow mastery by 5% every five lvls
" Adds 1 point of permanent weapon atk to every three lvls
" Try to max this skill asap because the damage increase for every 3-5 lvls is incredible

Sharp Eyes
" The only bowman-only party buff in the game; also one of the best
" Increases the critical rate and critical rate's damage of all party members, regardless of job
" You can make any job do criticals with this skill, even mages
" Hermits/Night Lord/bowmen benefit the most from this skill because Sharp Eyes adds on to their critical rate chance
" Max this skill out early if you train in a party a lot, otherwise max out Marksman Boost first

Dragon Breath / Piercing Arrow
" Both are mob skills which attacks mobs in front of your character
" No Marksmen I know use it to train, so I don't know how good they are
" Sniping Arrow is slower than Dragon Breath but does more damage
" Dragon Breath knocks enemies back a great distance, which makes it a good combo with Puppet
" Personally, I feel Dragon Breath is functionally more useful than Sniping Arrow (damage with knockback), but Sniping Arrow's 850% damage to up to 4 monsters, which is a heck of a lot more damage compared to Dragon Breath's 100% damage to up to 6 monsters
" Max out Sniping Arrow before Dragon Breath if you need to do more mob damage and if maintaining a distance between you and your monsters is not a big issue

Snipe
" 1HKOs non-boss monsters every 5 minutes unless you max it out, in which case it would be 1HKO non-boss monsters every 15 seconds
" Deals 99,999 damage to boss monsters
" Marksmen-unique skill which no marksman I know has utilized thus far

6. How to Train Efficiently

Training Spots (I will only mention the best ones)

Squids (Aqua Road - Dangerous Sea Gorge II)

Recommended Skills: At least 1 pts Blizzard, 5 pts Puppet, and 30 pts Strafe
Recommended Lvls: Lvl 83-95
Why Train Here
1. Fast experience once you get the hang of it
2. Water provides extra maneuverability/speed to your sniper
3. Beautiful environment to train in

How to Train
1. Blizzard desired squid(s)
2. Summon Puppet in out of reach area
3. Kill them one-by-one with Strafe
4. Repeat across entire map

Things to watch out for
1. Squids can 2-hit kill you so be careful
2. Bombing Fish Houses can one-shot kill you if you provoke it while standing within its magic radius
3. Very popular training spot now

Goby (Aqua road - Deep Sea Gorge II)

Recommended Skills: At least 11 pts Blizzard, 30 pts Strafe, 21+ pts AE
Recommended Lvls: Lvl 93-105, maybe past lvl 105 I'm not sure
Why Train Here
1. Crazy insane OMFG exp (one goby house = 6 goby = 8400 exp total)
2. Great meso-making because your are killing 6 monsters at once (the equips gobies drop npc for a lot)
3. Beautiful environment to train in

How to Train
1. Clear out all the Bone Fish swimming around a Goby House by alternating between 1 Blizzard and 2-3 strafes
2. Once Goby House is isolated, break it open with 5-7 strafes (if it takes more shots than this, you wait until you're stronger)
3. Blizzard the 6 gobies the instant they appear
4. Come close to the gobies and Arrow Eruption them to death with 5-7 AEs
5. Swim somewhere else and repeat

Things to watch out for
1. Don't goby if there is someone else already in the map because for some reason, gobies fly off randomly instead of chasing you if someone else is there, making it impossible to contain them all with Blizzard and thus slowing down training immensely
2. Goby Houses have high magic attack, so keep a distance from them at all times because even if you freeze them, you never know if a bone fish will spawn on top of you and distract you long enough for you to be finished off by already provoked Goby House
3. If you add points to Golden Eagle early, don't summon them here.The last thing you want is for a Goby House or Bone Fish to be provoked before you are ready to take them on

Jr. Newties on Middle Platform (Leafre - Destroyed Dragons Nest)

Recommended Skills: Lvl 20+ Golden Eagle, 30 pts Strafe, 21 Pts Blizzard
Middle Platform Recommended Lvls: Lvl 107-131
Why Train Here
1. Amazing Experience if you have the recommended party (stated below)
2. Just stand and fire Strafe / Blizzard
3. People here are willing to train with you if they need middle attacker
4. Drops Marksman Boost 20

Recommended Party
1. One Holy Symbol Priest hanging on rope spamming Holy Symbol (ESSENTIAL)
2. One 4th job Bowmaster/Marksman in Party with Sharp Eyes or Night Lord with Maple Warrior fighting bottom platform (ESSENTIAL)
3. One Night Lord or 4th job Bowmaster/Marksman fighting top platform (OPTIONAL)
4. Party is better than solo because its way faster experience, less boring,and newts don't atk you before your 3rd job/4th job bird can immobilize them. Plus, party member can increase your damage with party skills like Sharp Eyes and/or Maple Warrior

Recommended Potions for 3-hr training
1. 300 Sorceror Elixirs
2. 300 Popsicles (Jr Newtie does about 1.95-2.1k magic damage per hit)
3. 100 Cheeses (in case you accidently fall off middle platform and survive Transforming Jr. Newtie's 3.2k magic damage)
4. 300 Summoning Rocks (unless you have Frostprey)
5. At least one magic rock if you wish for a priest to door you back

Things to watch out for
1. Getting to this area requires 3-5 min travel time, so be patient and familiarize yourself with Leafre
2. If you can get a Priest to door you over there, that would preferable
3. Steer clear of the Transforming Jr Newties on the bottom and top platforms unless you have over 3.2k hp, they will one-shot kill you with their magic or vines if they're provoked

How to Train
1. Standing on the left, facing right, you will be dealing with the two Newts closest to you
2. The Newtie closest to you will transform once you 'kill' it
3. While the Newtie is transforming, do as much damage to the Newtie behind it as you possibly can with Stafe (you normally take bottom platform if you can kill this 2nd Newtie before the 1st one fully transforms)
4. Once the Transforming Jr. Newtie has completely transformed,freeze it with either Blizzard or Frostprey, then Strafe it to death

MapleStory Equipment Guide

2010-04-28T14:54:00.001+08:00

It should be noted once more that assassins are often very expensive. Huge amount to: the need to maintain a strong assassin. The price of stars, banners, claws, pharmaceutical, and other random items and equipment can be very difficult. Members of Parliament do not have a Master evil regeneration, so burn Members of Congress continue to syrup. In addition, archers, assassins barely defeat the monster, so they have a wider range of throwing stars.

Assassins are a very common class on GMS, and prices for their equipment are inflated. Claws and Scrolls cost upwards of millions of Maplestory Mesos, and the highest attack stars, Crystal Ilbis, can now sell for up to 90 million Mesos. However, due to constant changing economies, prices of stars differ. The price an Assassin pays to have decent equipment is basically offset by their large amounts of speed. With Haste maxed, an Assassin can travel across an entire map quite quickly, killing monsters along the way.

MapleStory Experience for Monsters

2010-04-26T10:49:00.001+08:00

Eventually the exchange becomes merely a way to clear useless etc items for usable items in Maplestory, though selling them for pure meso is always an option. Solid horns are usually preferred to level up a lower-level character, due to the number of players training on the Jr. Kitties at any one time. Zombie Teeth are more expensive, but the chance of getting a Fairy Wing as a reward can offset this extra cost.

Also, players train on Zombies far longer than Jr. Kitties. Jr. Yeti Skins fall in between, more expensive from a higher-level monster, and providing better potions than Solid Horns, but nothing too special. Every exchangeable etc item has a specific scroll type (usually 10%) that has a small chance of being given as a reward for a trade-in.

New Areas! Kerning Square Mall and Neo City!

2010-04-12T10:40:00.001+08:00

Hello Maplers!

Have you heard the rumors? There are incredible things happening in Maple World. Some are happy and exciting--like opening of the new Kerning Square Mall in Kerning City. Are you ready to shop in style and help a young entertainer's dream come true all while enjoying new dungeons and PQs? Then there are darker tales unfolding. There are stories of a mad traveler in the wilds near Magatia bearing tidings of a terrible future

Check out the details below:

Maple Idol at the Kerning Square Mall!

Dreams really can come true in MapleStory. Take Blake, a humble public service worker at the new Kerning Square Mall in Kerning City. He may not be much now, but he has the talent to become a superstar! Unfortunately there are evil Rock Spirits who are trying to steal Blake's debut song and keep him from his destiny. Blake needs heroes to help prepare the way, battle these evil spirits in a brand new dungeon and make sure the stage is secure for Blake's big debut. Do you have what it takes to create the next big MapleStory superstar?

Fight for the Future in Neo City!

Andy is a madman who has recently been spotted in the wilds near Magatia. They say he tells a horrible story of machine feet trampling over the human race in the future and claims to be looking for brave adventurers to fight for the future of Maple World.

Can we afford to believe this madman? Can we afford not to?

If you'd like to check out the truth of Andy's story, Broker Han in Magatia has the scoop on a time traveler who has come back from the future to recruit Maple World's mightiest heroes. It seems that in Neo City in the year 2503, the human race barely survives by scurrying under the metal feet of killer robots. That dark future doesn't have to pass though. You can fight for the future in a huge new dungeon and make it a better one for all humanity!

Grounds to train for level 30-88+ in Maplestory

2010-04-09T11:10:00.000+08:00

Level 30-34: Train where you have trained before. Ant Tunnel is a good choice, and so is Land of Wild Boars II (Not Land of Wild Boars, Jr. Boogies will give you too much trouble). Jr Sentinels and those green and horned mushroom tree dungeons at Ellinia are profitable alternatives. Fish Resting Spot is not a bad choice as well. You may also butcher the roosters and ducks in Shanghai once you can kill them with one Magic Claw per fowl.

Level 35-39: Go Kill Sakura Cellions. They're awesome training. They give out a lot of money too. Ice mages can now go kill Fire Boars with ease, so do so at Burnt Land I or II. They can also go to Sand Castle Playground to train on Flower Fishes if they want. Lightning right now is still too weak for your purposes, so boars are a good source of exp and money for now (use magic claw, not lit!). Lightning mages can also train well on Ratz in Floor 100 of Helios Tower. Standing on a slide allows one to rain down lightning while not getting hit.

If you start with Lightning, you can also keep it at level 15 when you reach level 35 (assuming you put 1 pt in Teleport at level 30), and train on the hamsters on the 99th floor of Helios tower. This will be a lightning wizards' fastest EXP gain until at least level 55, if you work it correctly. (to compare for around level 50, better to kill 4 Retz at 78XP each every 6 seconds, than 1 fire drake at 220 EXP each, and the Retz spawn en-masse at one spot, while larger rarer monsters like Fire Drakes require you to travel...and suffer plenty of damage). Then just work the Retz until you get enough points stored (save at least 9) to raise Lightning to level 24 directly from 15.

This is because the spell doubles in cost from 20 to 40, at spell level 16, making it very hard on your potions. At about lightning level 24, the damage increase should be worth the doubling of MP, but if you're unsure, you can wait until you get 12 skill points. It's also very safe to train at the Retz as you can't get hit unless you are grabbing loot. You can possibly gain 2-3 levels a day at low experience levels this way if you're a hardcore grinder.

If you are careful with your lightning to mob at least 4 Retz per cast, and pick up all the loot and seeds, you should at -least- break even in mesos/potion use, unlike lorangs, which will drain your mesos like water...

Note: Black Ratz are also a good alternative, at 70 EXP per kill and the fact that they are easier to kill then Retz it may be more profitable to kill them instead.

Level 40-49: If you're an ice mage, now would be a good time to move up to Jr Cellions (the red kitties) at Ossyria, and Fire Boar is a solid (but less rewarding) alternative. You can also train on sakura cellions they are very rewarding. They give out a lot of exp and money. Thunder Mages can consider Lorang, can also train on Jr Cellions or Grupin if Lorang costs too much money. You're going to lose money on pots wherever you go anyway, unless you work the hamsters, so why not lose them on monsters that give good exp and decent drops? Party with cleric at Hot Sands occasionally if you're feeling bored.

Note: for lightning mages, 78 EXP Retz are much faster EXP than the lorangs, as they spawn in mobs, and travel time is reduced to near nothing. It's strongly advised to continue working the Retz unless you are really bored. If your ice is maxed, and you're a hybrid, but poor, don't train at Retz; go kill fire boars or Jr Kitties for safe, fast loot until you get enough mesos to have a good stock of potions. Unless you are more concerned with getting rich (item drops) as opposed to leveling fast, Retz mobbing is -highly- recommended, and thus Hybrids/lit mages will have a big advantage over those who don't raise Lightning until after meditation.

If you started with Ice and are hybridizing, continue training on fire boars and Jr. Kitties until you raise lightning to level 15 at around experience level 45. (Assuming you are becoming a hybrid). Then use the same advice as above, for the Retz in Helios tower. Being a hybrid is STRONGLY advised, as working the Retz will let you level as fast, or faster, than any other class for now. (Yes, that includes bandits).

Time to go to Monster Carnival! There's more information about Monster Carnival in the Party Quests section. Monster carnival is great training for Level 40~50 (but you can enter when you're Level 30)

Think: 30000exp in 10 minutes! But that is only if you win and you get rank A. If you're a lit mage, you can do Retz too, because you aren't much help in carnival(for the person who keeps changing this, stop changing it!!!) when you've only got lightning bolt.

Maple coins are wanted, they are found rarely by monsters in the carnival party quest. You can get an Arc Staff (Level 45 staff){20 coins}, Cromi (Level 48 wand){20 coins}, or even the famous Speigelmann's necklace!(gives +1 STR, +1 DEX, +1 INT, and +1 LUK){50 coins} from Spiegelmann.

Note: Robos are really annoying, because they are strong against ice. Tell some other people like bandits to kill robos. If you just don't want to see them, try going into room 1 or 2. You will not see them unless someone summons them.

Level 50-59: If you have both Ice and Lit, Hot Sands is a very good choice. With only Ice, Red Drake should now be what you're training on (you can also go for Cellions and Lioners if Red Drakes hurt too much), while with only lit, Retz are still your best bet right now, even though you're earning less than 0.01% exp per kill, mobbing them should let you level every 6-8 hours until you reach level 55. Move to hot sands if you're going for Ice after med, when you have level 15 ice. With the new lands coming out, Platoon Chronos in The Road of Time is also a good choice. Many still recommend Lorangs, but due to the travel time required (lots of walking), plus the constant damage you will take, Hamsters are your best choice if you want to gain mesos. You should level 3-4x as fast on Retz as you would on Lorangs. Around level 55, you could also consider drakes meal table as a decent training spot. The exp is in general better then Retz, you'll gain 85 + sometimes a 240 exp times 6 a few seconds or 135 times 6 a few seconds. The drops are also noteworthy, as wild cargo's sometimes drop tobi's, and Drakes quite often kumbi's. The only big drawback of this place is that it drains meso's. Especially with magic guard on, which is a must since cargo's do around 300 damage. Expect to earn half of what you need for the potions. (For lightning wizards)Try going into the room with the roids and neohuroids in Magatia, known as C-2. It has a lot of monsters, and you can mob them to the edge of the map where there is a safe spot to zap them with lightning.

Level 60 -69: Cellions, Lioners, Red Drakes, Hot Sands, Helios Tower, the old spots. You can TRY to train at Buffoons if you like, but that's not generally a good idea. If you're not so obsessed with big damage, electrifying some jr. Yetis may not be a bad idea, as with freezing up some hectors and zombies.

Level 70-75: Same old, same old. Zombies, Hot Sands, Red Drakes. Buffoons might be more practical to hunt right now, but there isn't much change in training. If you're still doing RETZ, you must be a masochist :)

Level 76-83: IS mages can start killing Death Teddies now, since there are some sniping points present where you can hit them without worrying about getting hit. It's not great on your wallet, but it's very fast training. If you need money, Zombies are your friend again. You can also try Buffoons. Comp Mages should just stay at Zombies or Buffoons right now.

Level 83-88: IS mages got some options now. Bains are a pain to get to and there aren't many sniping spots, but they're like Death Teddies with more money, though the map isn't pure Bains and poison geysers are annoying. Death Teddies are as good as always. If you feel bold, you can try Vikings. Comp mages should probably go for Bains now, or Vikings if you're bold.

Level 88+: Vikings are a great target. JMSers could probably go for Bains in Weapon Storage (the map after Anego), or try the Kentauruses which give good exp Leafre (though I'm not sure about their spawns).

Easter Egg Eggscavation!

2010-04-07T10:24:00.000+08:00

It's Easter time in Mabinogi! As you go about your part time jobs collecting eggs, you may notice the hens of Erinn look a little perplexed. Upon gathering their eggs, you may sometimes collect a fossilized Easter egg!

If you are successful, you will receive an iconic Easter Egg Capsule. Pop it open to gain access to the sweet morsels inside. The candy will provide you with special stat bonuses for a short time.

Happy Easter!

MapleStory Fighter Guide

2010-03-31T11:02:00.000+08:00

With a better speed, spears and pole arms, swords have the most reliable damage of we think any weapon in the game. All of these weapons are slower then swords making for faster kills, and. This makes most Crusaders both faster and stronger then other classes. You will need to be a very high level although they do have elements, like 90+, to have all elements maxed out.

Pages have the ability to attack with Fire, Ice, and Lightning. This means that if they find themselves in a situation where they are surrounded by monsters weak to fire they can whip out their fire attacks, they can quickly adapt to the change if the situation changes to ice-weak monsters in Maplestory. Plus, ice charge freezes the enemy for a second or two.

They also have Magic Crash which will allow them cancel out Magic Defense. Spearmen can choose to either stick with one weapon or go hybrid, meaning to master both weapons. It's strongly recommended that you stick with one weapon with the exception of Spearmen.

MapleStory White Knight Tips

2010-03-24T09:26:00.001+08:00

Both Swords and Blunt Weapons have their pros and cons, and the overall majority of White Knights are swords users. But, Blunt Weapons have their own Advantages as well.

Sword Pros:

Very Popular Weapon. Warriors have always been associated with Swords.
Swords have Stable damage and will produce the same kind of damage constantly to monsters.
Sword Cons:

Generally very expensive to buy in game, and to scroll.
Rather commonplace weapon to use, about 85% of GMS who have a White Knight or Crusader use swords, which can generally be boring to some.
Blunt weapon Pros:

Blunt weapons are stronger then Swords.
Blunt weapon users are rare, and so being one of the few give you a certain degree of comfort.
Very Inexpensive compared to Swords and to scroll.
Blunt weapon Cons:

Blunt weapons have unstable damage in Maplestory, and so the amount of damage a White Knight will produce will be at random.
Blunt weapons are slower then Swords, this is why using them is generally frowned upon.

Weapon Chosen In Maplestory

2010-03-19T10:13:00.000+08:00

Crusaders can choose from a variety of weapons. They can choose axes for low scrolling costs resulting in high weapon attack, but unstable damage, or swords for high costs but stable damage. They can choose 2-handed weapons for slower attack speed but higher damage per hit, or 1-handed weapons for faster attack speed but lower damage per hit. One weakness of Crusaders is that their skills result in a string of unstable damage. Against some monsters, this can result in wild damage variety, causing knockback issues in some cases compared to the stable damage of White Knights in Maplestory.

Also, Crusader's stun is interruptible, meaning if you were to hit the stunned monster after using coma/shout on it, it will become unstunned. This can be quite irritating dealing with a large mob around you. If Power Guard is on, bumping into the stunned monster will cause it to become unstunned. Crusaders also take a long time to master their attack skills, as they spend many levels mastering Combo first.

MapleStory Winter character cards

2010-03-17T10:18:00.001+08:00

Help your character dive into the spirit of the holidays with a sparkling new Winter Premium Character Card! These special cards each come with three items: a festive cap with a dangling poof-ball, a pair of fuzzy snow boots, and a fur-lined Santa Claus suit!

Male humans show their rugged individualism with patches on the knees of their holiday outfits while female humans keep things trendy with fuzzy little poof-balls on their leggings and coat.

Since they're from the desert, elves don't always remember the importance of staying warm. That's why the male elves' holiday outfit consists of shorts! At least they can keep their necks toasty with a soft scarf. Female elves, in their mini-skirts, will shiver as much as their male counterparts, but at least they'll look amazing doing so, with a pair of fuzzy armbands and a stylish bow choker.

Male giants sport the traditional Santa attire but with a modern twist: a fashionable turtleneck that peeks out from beneath the suit. Female giants play the Mrs. Claus role but again, with a twist: a figure-hugging top and a short skirt, with trendy leggings tucked into boots to complete the look.

Rebirthing has never been jollier! Get your holiday gear before they're gone on January 5th, 2010!

Comparison between Warrior Jobs in Maplestory

2010-03-15T11:12:00.000+08:00

Most of the Maplestory warrior classes are basically the same during 2nd job. All of them use Power Strike and Slash Blast as their main attacks. Basically the differences can be summed up in two areas: skills and weapon choices. The main skill difference is that Fighters get Rage, which boosts your party's weapon attack by 10. As it is free except for -10 wep def, which is not going to impact the damage you take much at all, takes no use slots and increases each party member's damage by several hundreds that during 2nd job this is strongly appreciated.

The other classes can give themselves a weapon attack boost as well, but need items to do so. Fighters also get Power Guard, reducing touch damage by 40% and deals it back to the monster. This is the main reason why Fighters/Crusaders are considered soloers is because this reduces pot costs immensely.

Pages get Threaten, a skill that lowers the enemies' weapon defense and Maplestoryweapon attack by 20, this is mostly used to lower damage dealt to you. Pages also get Power Guard, reducing touch damage by 40% and deals it back to the monster. This is one of the main reason why Pages/WKs are considered soloers is because this reduces pot costs immensely. Of course, constant KB and Ice Charge helps also to the soloing factor.

First Job of Magician in MapleStory

2010-03-10T11:20:00.000+08:00

With this build, Magic Claw can be maxed before finishing Improving MP Recovery but after Max MP Increase, if you can afford the potion cost. Although higher level Magic Claw is better for faster training, see Funded Magician Build.

The Perfect Build: Although this build provides your character with the maximum amount of MP, it requires more time to train, as you will do minimal damage for a few levels. Some players say the amount of MP gained with this build is negligible. Until level 13, you should use the Three Snails skill you obtained as a Beginner. These first few levels is slow going unless there is an event going on. Having a friend to help you train more quickly through these first levels can be very beneficial.

10 Improving Max MP Increase (MAX).
1 Energy Bolt (1).
16 Improving MP Recovery (MAX).
20 Magic Claw (MAX).
20 Magic Guard (MAX).

The Third Job in MapleStory

2010-03-08T16:11:00.001+08:00

In the third job, these Mages undergo a nice power boost. Explosion has a range that rivals Fire Arrow, and a power that is equal to Fire Arrow, rendering it useless, seeing how Explosion is a mob skill, whilst Fire Arrow is stuck to one target at a time. Though, Fire Arrow may find solace in the fact that it gets an upgrade in the form of the Fire Mage's Magic Composition spell. This attack is a fusion of Fire and Poison placed into an ethereal bow.

When launched, this attack strikes with a Base Damageof 150, and also a 70% chance of Poisoning the enemy for 40 seconds. Fire Mages also get Poison Myst which is a poison based mob skill that initially hits one monster for damage and then creates a mist with 70% chance of poisoning for all monsters that travel within the mist.

Upon reaching the 4th job, Fire/Poison Archmages are a mirror image of Ice/Lightning Archmages, with the exception that you use Fire/Poison Skills. With Fire Demon, you can choose whichever monster to render vulnerable to Ice attacks. To add on to this set fantastic of Skills, you get to use Meteor which hit up to 15 monsters at once. 570 basic damage and Elquines, which you can summon a demon based on the Ice element.

Get Your Free Maplestory Hacks

2010-01-15T13:26:00.000+08:00

Maplestory is currently one of the most popular MMORPGs, being in the top 10 in terms of players and maplestory mesos. Here is where you can get access to free maplestory hacks without fear of detection. Leveling in Maplestory tends to be hard and tedious, thus many resort to leeching or just hacking. in the event that a bishop knocks you over at a celebration. Fortunately, there is a much faster, and even free option when it turns to leveling very quickly.

Maplestory is attractive to hackers, past and present. Hackers in Maplestory can be found in virtually any and every popular map, and it is easy to detect the traces of hackers who have switched chanels, as the monsters will often all be grouped together, which is the result of a monster vac. Unfortunately, old free maplestory hacks are available online if you click here for additional information. The recent version updates of Maplestory have invalidated hacks, so the old Free Maplestory Account Hacks are available online if you click here for additional information. have been abandoned. As a result, the hacking population Maplestory has dramatically dropped. Many players thought that hacking is now impossible, until now!

You can get Free Maplestory Hacks are available online if you click here for additional information. At Net, which is a great site for finding gaming hacks. If you are a veteran Maplestory hacker, you probably remember the infamous Maplestory centar trainer that sparked a huge hacking craze in Global Maplestory. As a commemorative to the supreme Maplestory trainer ever made and the net has now updated all the hacks in the trainer, and renamed it HasTe Bot!

The hacks include Godmode, PQ Autoclicker, Infinite Mana, Mouse Fly, Item Vac, DupeX Vac, Map Rusher, Unlimited Attack, Unlimited Stars and soon to be, PG Hack!

This is characteristic of Maplestory hacks: quick and powerful shortcuts to victory.

MapleStory Mesos Definitions Guide

2010-01-14T11:50:00.001+08:00

The game Maplestory Mesos definitions of those abbreviations listed below ,read and learn them ,it's helpful!

Auto-ban

This is a system that Wizet has implemented that targets the type of hack you are using. For example, if I say that God-mode is A/B, that means that more-or-less, if you use it; your character will automatically be banned. It will not be removed, since it is so effective. However, it is only in place for certain hacks.

Cheat Engine

Cheat Engine is a memory editor that allows you to edit the behavior of certain addresses, and lets you hack Maple. I'm sorry if this explanation is wrong- please correct me.

UCE

The acronym UCE stands for Undetectable Cheat Engine. This is self-explanatory.

Bypass

A bypass lets you use your Cheat Engine and thus your hacks by getting past GameGuard. There are many types of bypasses, but most are private.

A/C

A/C stands for Autoclicker. This is mainly used for PQ's, where you need to click on the NPC to get into the quest. To use it, you put both prompt buttons in the same place and run the A/C.

CT

A CT is a cheat table. It is designed to make activating hacks much easier.

DMGCtrl

Damage Control, What it does, is make all damage equal 0 (miss), 1, 2 or 3. This is usually combined with No Knockback.

No KB

No Knockback, when you hit a monster, you usually spring back from the damage. This nullifies this effect. This is activated by using a Damage Control script. The two are usually paired together to create the same effect (or close to it) as God-mode did.

GGLess

A private application that lets you run MapleStory without GameGuard running. This is private and only a few people have it and are only releasing it to people with legitimate reasons because this can also be used for pin-cracking…

ML/ML engine

The acronym ML stands for Moonlight. Thus, ML Engine: Moonlight Engine.

AOB's

Array of Bytes. Using these will allow you to update your addresses, however I use GThuggin's auto updater

Maybe is not a complete one,anyone who knows more please leave it in our comment and share with other players ,thank you very much!

Leveling Character Guide For Maplestory Beginners

2010-01-13T14:36:00.000+08:00

After you have chosen your preferred character class when you are starting out to play Maple Story, you are now ready to start leveling your character. And your new Maple Story character is now off to Maple Island as a Beginner.

On Maple Island, you will start off as a beginner class and level your way up to level 10 where you can then advance to the class that you actually want to be.

There are several key strategies that you want to focus on while you are on Maple Island which will help you to become an all-around Mapler in the game. They are:

1. Stats:

You need to start building your stats towards your character class (e.g. warrior, magician etc) that you are planning to become once you leave Maple Island.

2. Quest:

If this is your first Maple Story character, then you need to complete the quests on Maple Island to get a feel of how the game works and how to play properly.

3. Collect:

You want to start to collect items such as Blue Snail Shells and Mushrooms so that you can earn some Mesos for yourself to purchase a cab ride to leave Maple Island.

When you first login to Maple Story, you will be given a view of the key configurations for the game. This is the default setup for playing MapleStory although you can change it at any time by hitting the Key config shortcut button on your screen. You will then be able to setup every one of your skills and all the keys to any configuration that you would like to have.

Once you have completed your keyboard setup, you will then have to talk to Sera. She will ask you if you would like to enter the Tutorial Zone. If this is your first time playiny, please do so. If you are a Maple Story veteran, it is always fun to see your character being dressed up in a ridiculous leaf costume or whatever kind of costume he is in.

Once you have finished with the bazaar tutorial, you will be transported to Maple Island.

On Maple Island, you will want to complete some quests and level up your character to level 10.

If you look at the map, all you have to do is to walk from the left to the right through the 5 zones and you will end up at a location called Perry where you can then take a ship off Maple Island.

Before you leave Maple Island, you will want to familiarize yourself with the controls of the game and complete a few quests that will help you reach level 10. This will prepare you to take on challenges on Victoria Island!

Create Maplestory Fire Mage Quickly

2010-01-12T13:26:00.000+08:00

Fire Master has all the magic of Maple Story Magician strong, and the graphics are incredible. They have several places to maplestory powerleveling, but the fire Master also must be patient, effectively carried out. If you do not mind the inner workings of the second option, I suggest you look at my other guides on the subject. However, to establish a strict capacity for fire safety, Maestro.

If you decide to become a teacher in 30 fires that you should follow some basic instructions to make your master as reliable as possible. There are many points of distribution of ability, and know where to put each point is very important.

When you choose your work will get a skill point. I strongly recommend you to telecommunications this point, because it makes leveling more interesting. Then, in an effort apricot rockets because it will be your base attack. Post-fire arrow you should eat a mobile phone by 3 points, thus regaining some of the magic of your cell phone. Only in these three points, however, should focus now and think incisively and vividly. Then you should eat the largest cellular telephone, food delivery point to go after the mobile phone.

When the delivery point has been filled to capacity quickly, you can telecommunications and mobile phones, the cost of almost any high-profile, your level will be more effective. This ability must be the best! Slow should be the last skill, you're the greatest, and then placed in the venom of recent years Brace.

Apricot is that it can poison Galbraith occupational poisoning in fog thirdly, I think it's useless. Slow is better than poison key, in my 95 mage Fire I still regret that the poison of apricot Brace.

You should train can kill the monsters from two or three dozen. When you find an empty channel, and in this map by the time you stay. The mapping is from a nearby beneficial when bored or friends to share the fun, but a good uniform that want to apply effective rules.

Master of fire to provide you with up to third place will be countless hours, since in most online multiplayer games. A good idea for making maplestory mesos, so stop using the clock or timer, and set a half hour. See how much you earn experience and compare it with other maps. MMORPG games are fun and exciting, but it takes a great effort to succeed.

Make a Normal Claw or Dagger Thief in MapleStory

2010-01-10T13:55:00.000+08:00

Rogues must choose what weapon they will use from the very beginning for your maplestory account, So its good to know the difference. The difference between claw and dagger thieves is that claw thieves are ranged attackers while dagger thieves are close range attackers.

At kerning pq levels, claw thieves are preferred because they have more accuracy and can hit more of the monsters. Also another type of dagger thief is the Str dagger thief. Their minimum damage is higher than normal dagger thieves but their maximum damage is lower.

When you make your new thief, you should roll his stats so they look something like this:

STR: 4-5

DEX: X

INT: 4-5

LUK: X

Get a 4 in at least str or int. Dex and luk can be whatever because you will mold them into a build. Every time you level, you will get 5 AP points to put into either str, dex, int or luk.

For thieves, you only care about dex and luk. Dex needs to stay 2x your level so that you can wear the appropriate gear. Every left over point goes into luk (this determines your attack). Instead, if you want maplestory mesos, you can add everything into dex for 2 levels and then everything into luk for 3 levels.

Whatever you choose, you dex/luk should look like this:

LV10: 25 DEX, 37 LUK

LV15: 30 DEX, 57 LUK

LV20: 40 DEX, 72 LUK

LV25: 50 DEX, 87 LUK

LV30: 60 DEX, 102 LUK

For dagger thieves your AP build should look something like this:

LV10: 10 STR, 25 DEX, 31 LUK

LV15: 10 STR, 30 DEX, 51 LUK

LV20: 10 STR, 40 DEX, 66 LUK

LV25: 15 STR, 50 DEX, 76 LUK

LV30: 20 STR, 60 DEX, 86 LUK

Land on Maple island. Get to level 10 by killing the myriad number of snails and mushrooms. Once you reach level 10, take the boat to Victoria Island. Now take the cab to Kerning City and talk to the thief trainer to become a Rogue!

Now moving on to the SP builds.

For claw thieves your build should be as follows:

+1 Lucky Seven (1)

+3 Nimble Body (3)

+8 Keen Eyes (8)

+9 Lucky Seven (10)

-Save your SP for 3 levels-

+10 Lucky Seven (20 MAX)

+3 Disorder (3)

+3 Dark Sight (3)

+17 Nimble Body (20 MAX)

+7 Dark Sight (10)

I choose dark sight over disorder because it's use more often and can save your life sometimes.

For dagger thieves your build should be as follows:

+20 Nimble Body (20 MAX)

+10 Double Stab (10)

-Save up 3 levels-

+10 Double Stab (20 MAX)

+3 Disorder (3)

+3 Dark Sight (3)

+15 Dark Sight (18)

Now that you are level 30 with maplestory powerleveling, it's time for the job advancement.

Talk to the trainer in Kerning City. He will give you a task to prove yourself. Go to the Construction Site North of Kerning and find the Thief Instructor.

He will transport you to a map where you have to kill the monsters to get the marbles. Once you get 30 of them, go back to the thief trainer in Kerning City. Now choose between Bandit or Assassin.

BunnieSohee's Guide For Ranger 70-120

2010-01-09T13:54:00.001+08:00

There are TOO MANY ARCHER GUIDES with the SAME BORING information. So i will not touch on level 1-70.

I just kinda kinda not happy about the lack of hunter guides, Im a level 9X Ranger playing in MapleSea Aquilla and i think its time a voice from Aquilla stood out.

Ranger Pros and Cons :

Pro's

Good speed

All you need is a + 10 speed snowshoes , Icarus 2 cape + 10 dex, a speed pill,and a +10 speed bow to make your speed 40. Therefore you land faster than Assassins and have a faster shot repeating rate than them.

High-damage and Good Skills in Maplestory Powerleveling

A hunter has many skills that are a combinations of other jobs, for example,Strafe is a varation of savage blow WITH critical. Therefore you have stable medium high damage. Rain is like slash blast for a warriors pole-arm, but without the loss in damage per enemy hit.Inferno is like OMG!! It totally overpowers Fire mages explosion in terms in speed. And unlike Snipers ice shot, it has the ability to critical.

Good stalling ability

Two stalling skills, Puppet and Hawk, while totally useless with higher level boss monsters due to the fact that they have massive aoe(area of effect) spells.It works very well and saves you thousands of mesos. Because one hit recieved in higher level dungeons is equal to one unagi or higher wasted. Hunters are useful in zakum for stunning the mobs zakum spawns out.

TOO MANY MOB KILLING SKILLS

Just too many mob killing skills, you got bomb, rain and inferno, what else do you want?

Con's

Archer is boring to train for 80 levels Firstly, youre using the same skill Double shot or Arrow blow for 80 levels,since level 1 strafe is not efficient and costs you more pots. And if you take Arrow rain and decide to train at forest of golem maps. You will suffer until level 82 before you master rain and start owning those mobs.

Archer items are HARD TO FIND(but rather cheap)I spend hours trying to look for my overalls and bows in the free market.

Archer is a upper-tier character.The tier order goes this way. Dragon knight, Bandit, Sniper,Ranger,Assassin,Crusader/Knight, Ice/lit wizard, Fire/Poison Wizard, and Priest is in the lowest tier.This goes in the order of damage range.Therefore archer is not the best, But is still high up.

Archer is straining on your fingers.Later ill be discussing on techniques for hunting. Consistently spamming jump strafe makes you out match assassin if youre good enough.

Lastly archer is lousier that SNIPER.No matter how i dont want to admit it, Snipers have way better damage. But we still look cool right xD? Hehehe.

The Misconception of archer is hard to train.Its harder than sins due to lack of jump evasion at level 40-60, but the speed of training is PRECISELY the same due to the same amount of exp needed to level therefore archers are NOT hard to train at all but its ONLY IN YOUR MIND that makes you not want to train archer. Comparing it with other classes.

BANDIT class is the hardest to train due to lack of ranged skills and only a single hitting enemy attack which can be compared to any other jobs first job attack skill.And is easier to train at higher levels compared with a ASSASSIN due to the fact that archer has become a good handler in and out of enemy mobs. And you don't have to repetitively climb the ladder to hit one of Zakums upper hands.

Techinques

Normal training techniques

The jump over small monsters,turn around shoot theory.This works for small monsters only. Example : Trapped in a corner with a agro'ed fire boar walking towards you. Simply Jump over it and shoot.

Momento Abuse(Movement)

using monsters to intentionally propel you foward, which requires lots of practise.This involves a monster spawning directly on you, and pressing jump + a

left or right direction and propels you forward a further distance.(pretend you got hit by a lupin banana in midair and thats the motion im talking about)

Momento Abuse part two

Ever had a large monster spawn on you? Where you usually took 2 bump hits from it trying to get out from its center,Stone golem for example.Use the momentum by the direction it knocked you in to escape the second hit.

Invincibility frame abuse

For example, in Santuary 3, where you see a Taurospear ready to poke you,just bump into a cold eye and recieve 70 damage instead of 1600

Jump raining

This method is the best way to lure and kill large mobs asap. Its equivalent to the mages teleport and cast. Unless mages jump cast and then teleport(which I don't see often).Just jump rain into a group of monsters and repeat cast it.

Rope Escaping

Using a rope to evade damage from a charging attack(monster bumping into you),or an projectile.

Order of skills

Close proximity to medium proximity to far away. Use Arrow rain to lure,puppet to provoke,and when the enemies are stalling in that other direction, you get to arrow bomb/strafe/inferno them at your own disgression. Using the correct skills at the correct time is very important.

Cliff Sniping

Stand on an area where enemys cant hit you and... SHOOT

Knowing when to run

Do not stick in a corner when you have a mob charging towards you. Monsters usually have a patrol radius of half a screen left and right from their target(YOU).Therefore if youre cornered with no mob hitting skill at close proxmity, you may have to waste potions just to get out.Advanced Training Techniques

Jump Shooting (3 parts)

Binding-The perfect button,SPACEBAR!! Its in close proximity within your probable keyboard setting. Mine is Z - Arrow Bomb, C - Arrow Rain, V - Fire shot, F - Puppet, X - Strafe.

As you can see. binding jump to a common key with a big surface area is easier than haveing a cramped key setting like u,i,h,j,k,n,m. With j as your jump key.Finding the perfect key is important otherwise you may suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome(hand joint disfiguration)

Technique- A jump shot must be executed with both buttons pressed at the same time in the same frame.A tap will suffice, holding it will just increase the effort needed to lift your fingers and hit them again. I suggest you try practising a light bounce of the keyboard with your fingertips.To save money,practise chair-hopping. This involves a chair(relax chair,sky-blue wooden chair). Press at the correct time, and you will see your character jumping without changing the animation to a jump animation, and you will see your character in the sitting position "jump".Jump shooting also saves the time you stop moving for 16 frames when you cast a support skill like Soul arrow.

Timing- Jump shooting needs proper timing, not for the initial jump, but for the exact time you can do another jump shot again. You have to estimate the amount of time needed to land if you hit a monster. For example you jumps fowards into a mixed golem,and you have that knockback animation in the air where your character freezes for a frame without moving when the monster hits you. This lag time will cause you to lose out on a split second advantage with your ksing foe.

Using Monsters/Background objects to propel you fowards.For example in the ice caves,using the geysers to knock yourself forward and slip past a mob.

How to earn money in mapleSea

Scrolls scrolls SCROLLS and more scrolls. Not those cruddy scrolls you get in PQ, but by training hard you get at least one every two levels. In maple sea,scroll prices are HIGHLY INFLATED due to high demand and high availability.The fastest way to make money in maplesea is to make maplestory accounts,train each of them to level 40(can be done in 4 weeks) and complete all the quests that gives you 60% glove for attack or 10%. This means either 2-3m for each character. And then they can put their eqips found in storage and delete the character and start over.(This may be considered abuse, but i dont think many know about it)

Train at efficient places. Since monsters have a 60% chance of dropping maplestory mesos and an etc drop. So one shot one kill = 60% chance a money roll will drop. This means more loot and more chances of rare drops.

Scroll Equipment and sell them at higher prices. Since godly equips in aquilla are high in demand. And each goes for about 4m-54m depending on the stats. We have high rollers spamming 10% scrolls on weapons these days.And high rewards if they suceed.

MapleStory Hunter's Guide To A Powerful Ranger

2010-01-06T13:20:00.001+08:00

Welcome and thank you for using this guide. My name is Shaun,and playing MapleSEA Delphinus now, a LV92 Ranger . I also have a cleric at LV42 , currently inactive. I decided to help out the community by sending a guide to Hidden-Street but I will not touch on the 2nd Job section as there are already many guides in Hidden-Street regarding that topic.

A special thanks to the Hidden-Street staff for allowingme to post this guide and for the information given. And Wizet for creating MapleStory.. This guide wouldn't exist without it..

If you're a Sniper, this guide may or may not help you... Well, just take your time. It's quite similar since almost all the Sniper's skills are the same with the Ranger's. Specifically, Arrow Rain, Inferno and Silver Hawk. These 3 are very similar.

Ver 3.30: Added a 4th Job Info and Skills section into the guide. Also updated the Custom SP Build a bit. Others contents are not affected. Guide has been widely filled.

Ver 3.15: Further upgraded the Custom SP Build. Added a version check for users to keep track of each skill build update starting Version 4.0 onwards. Corrected other further minor errors.

Ver 3.0 : Changed the opening part of the guide. Slight update on my character's LV. Cleared further errors. Edited some FAQs and some comments.

Ver 2.80: Updated the SP section. Table of Contents has been changed slightly. Other contents of the guide are not affected.

Skills.

Ver 2.50: Made a note on the Custom SP Build section. Please refer directly to that section for more information. Further updated that skill build also.

Ver 2.30: Changed LVs 73-76 of the Custom SP Build. Rearranged skills Inferno, Strafe and Arrow Rain <1>. Those who followed the previous, you can continue. Result will
still be the same. Cleared and edited certain texts.

Ver 2.25: Updated the "extras" section and re-edited some texts.Content is still the same. Just that some of the texts have changed.

Ver 1.80: Slightly updated by cloud3z. Thanks for the help.

Ver 1.75: Included a user-friendly Custom SP Build of my own.Further updated the skill builds.

Ver 1.50: Corrected some errors. Updated the skill builds.Added an FAQ under the SP Build section.

Ver 1.20: Re-edited and cleared some language errors. Made it easier to understand the guide better.

Ver 1.0 : The newly created guide... Having all the nesscesary information needed for a Ranger.

The 3rd Job Skills... One of the best set of skills in the 3rd Job Class... From Strafe to Arrow Rain, and Inferno... I'll give a short briefing on all the skills. This set of skills is so overwhelming!

[Thrust]: Master LV20 Passive
Pre-requisite: None

Description: Boosts up the moving speed.
Comments : This is by right the only skill that increases Speedpermanently. I liked it at first... But it's not too good.You can get at least 20 Speed from using equipments and
using a speed pill together. Some regard it as a waste of skill points .

[Mortal Blow]: Master LV20 Passive
Pre-requisite: None

Description: For a certain rate, allows you to fire arrows even at a very close range. Even kills a monster with one shot every once in a while.
Comments : This is a good skill. Unlike Final Attack, it only activates when you are close to the monster, not randomly. Also, this skill eliminates the minimum range problem. You may want to get it as soon as possible.

[Puppet]: Master LV20 Support
Pre-requisite: None

Description: Summons a puppet (your other self) for a certain amount of time. While the puppet is around, the monsters will attack the puppet, not you.
Comments : This skill's sole purpose is to lure monsters and then SHOOT!Very useful in those closed-up maps where it's so tight that there's nowhere to run. Just place a puppet somewhere else,the monster will move away and you're safe.

[Inferno]: Master LV30 Active
Pre-requisite: None

Description: Uses fire-based arrows to attack up to 6 monsters at once.Only works when equipped with a bow.
Comments : This skill is otherwise known as Fire Shot. Nice skill. Finally, bowmen have an elemental attack. There is also that 1.5x element weakness multiplier. It also works exactly like Arrow Bomb except it doesn't stun. Unlike Sniper's Ice Shot, this skill can critical but their's do not. Works wonders with Critical and the elemental weakness together.

How to Get and Use a Maplestory Private Server

2010-01-05T16:16:00.000+08:00

In Maplestory, there are over 5 different default servers which any public user may use. Of course this is going to vary by version and language of the game. These servers are all completely public, in that, Nexon is the owner and manager of all of these servers. The players have very little control of customization of these servers, because they're open publicly and the game company is the owner. GM's are assigned by the owner, not by friends and other characters in the game. In a public server, you have very little amount of control, Nexon maplestory mesos is expensive and hard to get, so are mesos, and leveling is much harder than in private Maplestory servers.

Maplestory private servers are privately owned outside of the Nexon company. Nexon does allow for this, as their game client is customizable so long as you have a server to host the customized version of the game on. The owners of these servers are responsible for all of the maintainence, customization, and management of the server. GM's will be assigned by these players, and it's usually much easier to become a GM on a private server than it is on a public server due to less traffic and more new players needing help from a GM like yourself.

These private servers have many different benefits and bonuses. Most of these private servers now have a "warper" which makes it extremely easy to travel. You can simply click the green trade button at the lower left hand corner of your screen and you'll be warped to the free market. At the free market, there normally is another warper who will take you to any town in the game, and in most cases to any boss in the game.

Not only is travel easy, but just about every other aspect of the game is easy on private servers in most cases. Experience rates are set by a multiplier of anywhere to 5x to 10,000x. Leveling maplestory account gets crazy when on your first kill, you hit level 20. This makes hitting those other jobs a snap. Perhaps you really don't plan to permanently or exclusively play on a private server. A private server is a great place to test classes of characters, items, nx purhcases, and just about anything else in the game since you can obtain it all much faster than in a public Maplestory server.

Meso drops are typically much, much higher on these servers as well. The meso drops are mutlipled the same way, anywhere from 5x to 10,000x. It's nice when you're killing green snails that drop several thousands mesos when you need to get something expensive. In fact, almost all expensive items on public servers can be obtained extremely easily on most private servers.

Drop rates are also increased dramatically, however the greatest multiplier I've seen has been 100x. This is great though! Drop rate multipliers greatly increase your chances of finding rare items from monsters, and can be a great maple story mesos maker later on. I love this because it makes finding rare items a snap, even if you're just looking for a specific item you can use.

Now, on to how to get these private servers. Almost all private servers require version .55 of the game to run. Firstly, download version .55 from this location. Make sure to NOT run the game after installing this, as you don't want the autoupdater to run.

After downloading this patch, it's as easy as searching for the version of private Maplestory you want to run. Simply search yahoo for private maplestory servers, and check them out. Download their client, and place it in your Maplestory folder and run it!

Good luck and have fun!

Maplestory Game Introduction

2010-01-04T13:17:00.000+08:00

With the advent of Massively Multiplayer Role Playing Games (MMORPG) sprouting like mushrooms all over the world, there has to be one that's free, constantly updated with new events, and addictive right from the start. This is where MapleStory fits the bill. Touted as the world's first 2D side-scrolling MMORPG, MapleStory combines cute pint-sized characters with 3D rendered backgrounds, enabling a refreshing interface you will never encounter in other MMORPGs.

Best of all, MapleStory is a free-of-charge game! Besides that, players do have a chance to obtain unique or rare maplestory items which other players do not have by purchasing them in a virtual shop, known as the Cash Shop.

Beginner, Warrior, Magician, Bowman and Thief are the main jobs available in MapleStory. As a player starts as a Beginner class, he/she will be able to select any job available. However, he/she should be careful in their stats allocation as that will determine which job they will be. Each classes are then categorized as 1st job advancement, 2nd job advancement, 3rd job advancement and finally the 4th job advancement.

During a journey of never ending story, players are able defeat monsters in order to gain a level up. Plus, players could form a party in order to support one another and go against higher level monsters!

Besides forming a party to just kill monsters, there are certain quests which are known as Party Quest that requires a party to complete it. Therefore, each member in the party must do their very best to communicate with one another and get their teamwork done. There is also a Guild Quest for guild members to group up together and complete the quest. An amount of maplestory mesos must be paid in order for a guild leader to form a guild.

Apart from that, Fame is a unique system where you are able to raise another player's Fame (or reduce it) as you please. This is part of the game which enable players to show their appreciation towards other players who might have helped them in the game. On the other hand, players will reduce their fame (or known as defame) if the other player might have done something wrong to him/her.

One thing that is lacking from the game is the Player vs Player (PVP). Wizet did not and will not have the intention to implement the Player vs Player (PVP) system. Still, players are really enjoying themselves with the game as there are many places to be explored.

Even each version of MapleStory have its own exclusive maps, such as Singapore and Malaysia maps in MapleSEA only and New Leaf City maps in MapleGlobal only.

Generally, MapleStory is not a difficult game to be learned and played as young children to spend their time playing this game too. However, it involves a lot of patience to level up maplestory account as it is not easy at all due to the amount of experience needed.

How to Become a Better Mapler in Maplestory

2010-01-03T15:48:00.001+08:00

The biggest mistake people usually do is taking the wrong stats. To avoid this you must know what class you will choose when you start out. Then raise stats according to your class. Reminder Warrior = STR Mage = INT Bowman = DEX Thief = A STR (30%) DEX (70%) On Beginner island you MUST complete all the quests and train on monsters. Why? So you get out with lvl 6 or more so the bigger monsters don't kill you every time you try to get some maplestory mesos. It's a big mistake too.

Pick up items! Yours or not, if you can, take them. If you do it, after selling them you will get your first 100k in a few levels. Don't waste money on potions and stuff, heal the good old way – by staying still or sitting on a chair.

Don't beg for items, money. NEVER buy quest items, only buy equipment. This way you save money and get exp by killing monsters for items. Of course if you are tired and still didn't get the item you needed, you can buy it, but only if you have a lot of spare money (buying lvl 20 equipment costs somewhere near 120k, so watch your mesos).

Always check what you will do. How to get there. What will you kill. The best guides are in www.hidden-street.net . Here you can even find guides on how to become a better thief, warrior etc. Remember to always think about the future, and you can become the top mapler

When you start off as a beginner you should already know what your going to be, and if you have chosen the path of a mighty warrior, the close range fighter, this guide is just for you. Also, if you haven't chosen your path and you are still a beginner check my beginner guide here.

1.Now it's common, that many people that don't read guides miss almost all attacks on stronger monsters. Why? It's because your,maplestory account DEX is low. It should be as your STR/2. That means if your STR is 42 your DEX should be 21, If your STR is 86 your DEX should be 42 and so on.

2.Basically warriors are strong alone, but after fighting a few packs of monsters your hp will go down. Do not use potions if you can rest somewhere near. That will help you save money, and even exp, because you only should use potions when you are about to die and there's no way out.

3.Having trouble leveling up? Just ask some nice people to party with you, it will help you get more exp and help other party members get some too. But if you join a party get ready to kill hard, because party leader do not like the members standing and sleeping.

4.A party is good, but not good enough? Your level is too high and the party system is slow? Then you should try the party quest. Just go to Kerning city on CH 1 shouting "Joining party quest" and if you're lucky, you should get invited. Then your party will get a few tasks to complete. For more info on the party quest go to here.

5.This goes with tip #2. There is a skill called "improving HP recovery" you must level it up with Maplestory Powerleveling, until it is mastered. It will allow you to heal more hp per 10 seconds. When you master this skill you will heal 60 HP per 10 seconds. This is a passive skill. That means it does not use MP or anything. Then there is a skill called "Endure". It will help you heal HP even when you are hanging on a rope or vine. When you master this skill, you will also heal 60 HP per 10 seconds, while hanging.

I wish you good luck my fellow warriors!

Maplestory Guide Training as a Hermit

2009-12-31T13:51:00.000+08:00

We have made it this far, currently when editing this FAQ, we are in our upper 80s, and we know pretty much everything about training, we think. Let's go over the basics for you. You have a lot of options, we will include how fast they are for me right now, relatively, and you can go on from there to make your own decisions.

Zombies are good until the 80s, almost to the 90s. Not much beyond that, but still, you will see these things overcrowded all the time. Sometimes it is just not worth wasting the time to find a map. Yeti and Pepe, these buggers are great for maplestory mesos(Steelys, Geta, Thorns, Doombringer, Gold Hinkle, and so on.) train here if you can find a spot, and if you want money.

Dark Yeti, about the same speed as Yeti and Pepe, but much easier to find a map to train in. Eventually, as you get higher leveled, these will become slower than Yeti and Pepe. Cerebes, the slowest thing you should train on, giving a measly 5% an hour to me right now. They drop Dark Ritual (level 75 staff) and Dark Scarab (best level 70 claw) though, so they are an option if you are feeling lucky.

Death Teddies and Master Death teddies are also good EXP. We recommend a Priest and that you be in your 80s before trying them. If you get a priest with maxHoly Symbol (extra EXP), you will find that Master Death teddies are more than 10% an hour, almost 15%, which is ungodly speed.

Vikings are good for Ilbi hunting. Exp-wise, they are decent, better than Cerebes, at least we would wait till at least level 90 before seriously fighting. Other than this, a bunch of weaker Ludibrium monsters that you kill in one or two hits will be good, since generally speaking, Ludibrium EXP Is great.

Even through the level 110s and higher, Ludibrium will be pretty fast for training. You will know where to train your maplestory account by the time you are up there.

Orbis Party Quest Guide

2009-12-30T14:24:00.002+08:00

01.Introduction__

I am making this guide in order to help people to understand Orbis Party Quest (OPQ) better. If you consider yourself a Pro. in this PQ, then go ahead and see if you have a better idea of how to do stages then email me :D There might be some mistakes because I don't know everything from this PQ but I am sure that this guide is helpful.

"A few days ago, after a huge rainstorm, a new cloudy path has emerged at the top of the Orbis Tower, behind the statue of Minerva the Goddess. The clouds have broke apart, and a new mysterious tower has emerged. We have made the conclusion that the tower we're looking for is the tower of a being that controlled Orbis way back: Minerva the Goddess. I'm more than certain that Minerva the Goddess is trapped somewhere in that tower. What do you think? Would you like to explore the tower and find the remnants of the Goddess?"

------------
[ 1A.Overview ]
------------
You must be from level 51 to level 70 to enter this party quest.
Location: The Unknown Tower - Orbis
_Enter through Orbis Tower Entrance - the portal to the bottom right.
** First of all choose your path, boss PQ or rush PQ. If you decided to do rush PQ, don't ever do boss until you are sure you won't rush again. The reason is that if you killed boss once your exp. will go down from 7500 to 5250 each stage in the tower** If you decide to do rush, scroll down to Rush Party section. To get ready for finishing the whole quest, you should bring with you a good amount of Eyedrops and Holywaters or All Cures because the boss can curse you. For some jobs, if you get cursed, it might be the result of your death. So you better get ready!
_ Eyedrops are used to cure Darkness, a curse that lowers your accuracy.
_ Holywaters are used to cure Sealed, which means you can't use your skills.
_ All cures are used to cure everything, a combination of Eyedrops and Holywaters.
_ You need a huge amount of potions, and I mean huge! Papa Pixie does around 1,300 damage on you. It's good if you have a cleric to heal you, but what if your cleric dies? The potions are for that purpose - in case your cleric dies!
_1,500HP up :) or magic guard
A party for the PQ includes 6 people.
If you can get all jobs (Thief+Magician+Warrior+Bowman) into one party, you will receive a blessing from Wonky once you get in.
The blessing might be:
+30 physical and magic attacks
+30 accuracy and avoid ability
+30 physical and magic defenses
+20% speed and 10% jump
You will probably want to check what kind of bless Wonky gives you. If you get bonus attacks then make sure your party member won't use Rage or Meditation. Those support skills will cancel out Wonky's bless. Bless or Iron body will cancel out Wonky defense bless. Wonkey's bless lasts 30 minutes, so if you can't get to boss in 30 minutes then his bless will disappear :P The way to get in this party quest is just like any other. The leader of the party clicks on Wonky and chooses Apply for Entrance to enter the party quest. You'll be given 60 minutes to finish the quest.
**The fastest way to rapidly click is to drag the "Apply for entrance" right over Wonky then keep clicking and pressing "enter" for "next". Note that "enter" always activates "next", but chooses "no" in yes/no windows.
(R Amythest)

------------------
[ 1B.Feeding Wonky ]
------------------
As you notice, when you talk to Wonky at the Unknown Tower there is "Give Wonky something to eat" tab. Savag3blow informed me about it. First off here is what you can feed Wonky:
_Fried Chicken
_Red Bean Porridge
_Hamburger
_Unagi
_Ice Cream Pop
_Chocolate
_Red Bean Sundae
If you feed him, you'll get a better chance of receiving a "special mission". I believe that the better item you feed him, the higher the chance. The missions can be:
_Complete the party quest within 25 minutes
_Kill all the Luinel, or Jr.Kitties (at <2e.room>)
_Complete the Room of Guilty - Eliminated all Lucidas (there is no confirmation of this one so if you do get it, please tell me)
_Collect 6 LP Disks
I never finish any of those missions above, so I don't know what are the rewards. I heard that you get additional exp. for completing the mission.
_The way to active the Mission is LEADER click on Wonky at the entrance. Don't worry, just click on him and he will ask you whether to leave the Quest or not if you don't get the Mission. If you got the mission, he'll state it. This is confirmed by me.

---------------------
[ 1C.Job Requirements ]
---------------------
Party MUST include the following jobs:
_Thief (Sin/Bandit) that has at least level 11 haste, lower hastes can't help you pass the Entrance and other stages.
_Warrior (Fighter/Page/Spearman) must be high level or high dex, to hit boss. Warriors do good damage on the boss. The other jobs might need a spearman's Hyperbody to increase their HP.
_Magician (Cleric/Wizard) with teleport (needed to pass the Lobby stage). I don't think I have to explain why we need a cleric. :P Well, you don't want magicians to be the main attackers because Papa Pixie is strong against magic. Sadly, this "must" does not include bowmen, but bowmen do good damage on boss (Papa pixie) and helpful in some way. To fight boss, you'll need at least 2 lvl60+ attackers. The reason is low level warriors and magicians won't be able to hit the boss. Thief/Archer will have difficulties surviving after the boss' attacks.

-----------------------
[ 1D.Failing the Quest? ]
-----------------------
Yes, you can fail this quest. The conditions for failing this quest are:
_Leader disconnected or you disconnected.
_Leader died or you died.
_A member of the party left the party inside the quest ( it's okay if he or she leave the party outside of the quest).
_Click Wondy and press next/yes in the Entrance.
_Ask Eak to leave party in the Center Tower.
_A party member drops the wrong music CD while the right one is playing.
_Not having enough members for Sealed Room.
_Members with Stone Pieces die/ disconnect in either Lounge or Walkway.
_No thieves (most of the stages)/ magicians (for Lobby)
_Run out of time
When you failed the party quest, you'll be send to On The Way Out. This is when you need to scroll down to On The Way Out sections to learn how to leave :P I guess... ha!

__02.Enter the Full Party Quest__

-------------
[ 2A.Entrance ]
-------------
-->6000 exp.

Require: Haste.

"Hi, my name is Eak, the Chamberlain of the Goddess. Don't be alarmed; you won't be able to see me right now. Back when the Goddess turned into a block of stone, I simultaneously lost my own power. If you gather up the power of the Magic Cloud of Orbis, however, then I'll be able to recover my body and re-transform back to my original self. Please collect 20 Magic Clouds and
bring them back to me. Right now, you'll only see me as a tiny, flickering light."

----------
\ Mission \ Get 20 clouds pieces and drop it in front of the little light.
----------

_Feel free to click on Wondy and leave the party quest here. If you accidently clicked Wonky, don't click Next, but click End Chat or press Esc.
_Leader should click on Wonky once to see if you got the mission.
_Chamerlain Eak is appearing as a "tiny, flickering light" in the middle. You need haste to climb up and collect 20 Cloud Pieces around the map then place them right at the light spot to summon Eak. Don't be disappointed if you think Eak should be more cute and cool. After that click on Eak and he'll transport you to the Center Tower. Oh, your leader will click, not party members.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES: If you killed boss you'll receive 4200 exp. for Entrance and 5250 exp. for other stages.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------
[ 2B.Center Tower ]
-----------------
--> Exp. gained from Jr.boogies

-------------
\ True Mission \ Get the missing Statue Pieces from all the rooms (stages) to recover the Goddess Statue.

_This is the place that you'll be walking around a lot to enter the stages.
_It has Jr. Boogies which do around 200 damages. So be careful, you don't want to go away here :) because Jr.Boogies will fly to you and you know...
_You can kill those Jr.Boogies if you want but you need high dex and level to hit them. They gave good exp. like around 500 exp each. This is when thieves or bowmen come in handy since they always have high dex-high accuracy. Low level thief/bowman will not 100% hit the Jr. Boogies. We need both high accuracy and high level to kill them. You can only enter the place that your leader goes to (now leader can abuse leadership power).
*Notes: You can choose to go to any room in here, it doesn't matter as long as you can get all the Statue Pieces. I'll explain from the bottom to the top, from left to right :).

Here's the map
___________
2J On The Way Up
2I Walkway
2G 2H Lounge, Storage
2f Sealed Room

Broken Goddess Statue *broken*
Statue
2E Room of Darkness (Hidden street)
2D Lobby
2C Room of Guilty
___________

Most people chose to do orderly from bottom to top but I refer do Walk Way first because most people die here, with stones, make you rush...if you do this room after the other, you'll have to do all over again :(

----------------------------------------------------------------------
**I recommend to skip the Room of Guilty, unless you want some adventure**
----------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------
[2C.Basement - The Room of the Guilty ]
-------------------------------------
--> No exp.

Require: 2000HP and up (just in case)

"This is the room of the Guilty in the Tower of Goddess. Minerva the Goddess used to keep the most sinister monsters that have committed the most hideous crimes here. Thankfully you won't find a piece of the statue of goddess here so please return to the ladder on the right side of this room. But then again ... something maybe hidden ..."

You can enter the basement through the ladder at the bottom of the Center Tower. This is the only stage where you won't gain experiences or . So you can decide whether to explore it or not. Haste or other kinds of speed equips are disabled in this room. There are 3 holes that you can enter from top to bottom. You'll want to jump diagonal to the holes, you can't get in them if you jump straight down. There are some platforms that you can jump from. It's dark so good luck in getting in the holes :P
-------------
Rope

O First

o Teleport up to Rope
-------------
Each hole will lead you to a Jail. Jail contains Lucidas which hurt 2,000 damage. You can't hit them but you need to kill them to proceed. So don't think you can hit them if you have high accuracy. I recommend not to trying hiting them either. The switches are your friends :) Hit a switch and a trap will start. Use those to damage the Lucidas. After killing all Lucidas, you can go ahead and enter Jail Treasure. Please note that if you didn't kill them, there won't be a ladder. The Jail Treasure contains a box that drops Crystal Ores. All holes are somewhat the same.

The first hole, however, is the easiest, where you don't have to face the danger of touching the Lucidas. There are 8 Lucidas in here.
______________
O = Enter the Treasure
L L L 3 Lucidas
X _ X Switches
X _ X L L Switches - 2 Lucidas

L L L 3 Lucidas

---------------
The " _ " is the safe area for u :) You'll see 3 switches as you come in, just hit the switch and the traps will start to attack the Lucidas. Same to the other ones. Well, try to limit the amount of times use to kill Lucidas. I think the lesser time you use to kill Lucidas, the valuable Crystal Ores you will get.

The middle hole is more difficult than the first one.
-------------
O Treasure
X _ X

-------------
You'll have to reach the first set of switches by climbing fast to the rope while the 3 lucidas was at the left side. The second set is dangerous. The 2 lucidas will run around if you tried to climb and hit the switch they will chase you and ... So I think it's best for you to stay on the rope and wait for a chance then jump to the left or right then hit the switch. It doesn't look like you can hit the switch but you can :) Then the last set of switches. You'll have to wait for a chance (again) then run really fast to the rope and climb up. Just pay attention because those Lucidas jump. So they touch you while you're on the platform.

The last hole is the last one you want to enter. You'll be wasting potions or die if you are not careful. I'll leave the exploration to you since I did not have a chance to explore it yet :P

To go back to the Center Tower, simply go to the door at the bottom and press up. It'll teleport you up near the ladder, climb the ladder and you're back at Center Tower. ===============================================================================
----------
[ 2D.Lobby ]
----------
-->7500 exp.

Require: Haste, Teleport

"This is the lobby of the Tower of Goddess. This is the place Minerva the Goddess preferred to listen to music. She loved listening to different kinds of music, depending on what day of the week it was. If you play that music you played before, the spirit of Minerva the Goddess may react to it and something curious may happen."

----------
/ Mission / Get the right CD of the day and drop it in front of the player.
----------

_ In this stage, haste is needed for you to jump up to the boxes, and don't think that you can do the magicians boxes with 23+ jumps, you can't.
_The first and third box (from right to left) are for magicians, only Teleport can help you reach the platforms.
_Members will need to hit 7 boxes to get the right CD and whoever gets the right one needs to place it in front of the CD player. If you drop another CD while the right one is playing, you'll fail the quest** There is no backup sorry :P
_The right CD is determined by the DAY of the week. You can either talk to Eak or look at the chart down there for details. The leader will then click the Eak cloud and hit the box for <3rd Statue Piece afterward.
**NOTES: Do not walk out of the room until you got the <3rd> because you CAN'T go back in! Here is the chart of what type of CD you need for what day.
------------------------------------
Day Type Color of CD
---------- ---------- ------------
Monday - Cute - Orange
Tuesday - Scary - Yellow
Wednesday - Fun - Purple
Thursday - Sad - Dark blue
Friday - Cold - Light Blue
Saturday - Tight - Green
Sunday - Operatic - Red

---------------------
[ 2D.Room of Darkness ]
---------------------
---> Exp. gain from monsters 460 exp. for each.

Require: None.

"Argh, so dark here. You're now inside the Room of Darkness in the Tower of Goddess, but they, how did you get here? You won't find a piece of the statue of goddess here. I suggest you check out other rooms instead."

Evil Eak don't want us to kill the Jr.kitties (Jr.Cellions, Lioners, Grupins) that's why he suggested "you check out the other rooms instead". :P You guessed right, many Jr. kitties are in this room waiting for you to get exp from them. :) This room also has a prize on top once in awhile, and it could either be diary page 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 but there's no confirm what are they for. Climb the ladder to the right and go up. Like Eak said, you won't get any
Statue Piece. To leave this room, press up at where you came from.

----------------
[ 2F.Sealed Room ]
----------------
-->7500 exp.

Require: At least 5 members.

"This is the Sealed Room of the Tower of Goddess. It's the room where Minerva the Goddess felt safe enough to keep her very valuable belongings. The three steps you see on the side work as the locks that can unseal the curse, and they all have to carry the exact amount of weight. Let's see... it'll require five of you to stand on it to match the ideal weight. By the way, you'll need to solve this in 7 attempts or less, or you'll be banished from the sealed room, as well as changing up the answer in the process."

-----------
/The basic /
-----------
This room might be the most troublesome if you don't get how to do it. Haste/Teleport are disabled in this room. In this room, you need to "balance out" the weight of the 3 stones. You can find the 3 stones near Eak. You have Left, Middle, and Right stone and only 5 members are needed to finish this stage. You have 7 tries. The combinations are:
-----------------------
500 410 320 230 140 050
041 032 023 014 005
104 203 302 401
311 221 212 131 122 113
-----------------------
Well right, 7 tries to do those combinations. Guessing isn't the best way. First you need all 5 members stand on the Left stone (5-0-0). Then click Eak and see the clue either "different"
or "correct". If you got "different", that means all the stones are wrong! Including the one you're standing on. If you got "1 correct", that means ONE of the stones is right So leave that stone alone! Now you just need to take care of the other 2 stones. Use the clues given to determine what is the right number of members needed on each of the stones.

-------------
/ Strategies /
-------------
Now, be happy, because James (savag3biow and savag3bl0m) sent me his chart the other day, all you need to do is copy down the chart and be pro in Sealed Room :) without wasting a single brain cell. Remember, when you see savag3biow or savag3bl0m, you know you got the pro. in your party. If you fail, you can try again, but the combination will change. Well if you think my explain is not good enough, then include James' method! Here's the chart:

500

Same---------- ----------Different

410 410

Same- -Different Same- -Different

320 302 311 320

140 104 113 122 131
Same

041
050 005 014 023 032

_First off, you start at 500. There are two possible answer: Correct (Same) or Different. Hey hey, pay attention, there are two 410 here. If you get SAME, you'll follow the left of that char. If you get DIFFERENT, you'll be continue at the the right of the chart. So good luck. James stated, "there are lots of logical stuff that I cannot explain clearly, but I guarantee it will work." I have confirmed, it works well. Here is the Original Image (use it if you found my chart confusing):

**Okay, take your time reading the method for Sealed Room :) If you happened to find my language too confusing, chart too weird, then try this out...

Written by XBanditsFury (IGN):
_Email: dashuaige92(at)yahoo.com
_Server: Bera Start with 500, then follow these rules until you clear the stage. If the leader sees "Correct (Same)," then go down that column from the combo you just tried until you see"SAME" and try the combo to the right of that "SAME" next. If "Wrong (diff)," then go down until you see "DIFF" and try the combo to the right next.

Note: Some only branch off into either "SAME" or "DIFF" because that's the only thing that you can possibly see if you followed this right.

*The stage will never clear on these combos, but they are needed to branch out all other possible combos to fit the 7-try limit.

Is this the only way to complete it? No. But it is proven to never miss if done correctly. If you are not convinced, choose any combo from the list above and test it using this format. It is also theoretically faster than most ways, given enough combos to rule out luck, since there is a minimum number of people that are required to move after each try. This is useful for rush parties that choose to do the Sealed Room stage along with Entrance and Lobby, where speed is important.

I saw some other method of doing Sealed Room too, but they missed sometimes. I believe the chart works well, I never miss before. Trust the chart :P When you clear the stage: Don't forget to go to the top and get the <4th>!!!*** Unless you want to fail the quest.

[ 2G.Lounge ]

-->7500 exp.

Require: Haste, living members (death members with stones will make you fail)

"This is the lounge area of the Tower of Goddess, where the guests stayed for the night or two. has been broken into 40 pieces, and separated all around the lounge. Please roam around and collect the pieces of 5th Small Pieces."

_is the one above the cloud Eak.
_Only magicians should do this room because those Cellion can use their MP to defense weapon attack. Weapons can only do 1 damage on them. :P
_There are 10 Cellions, each drops a small piece.

---------
Room 302
---------
_To get to this room you'll have to pass 2 rows by press up on one of the stones. There are 3 stones to try for each row, and 2 will teleport you down.
_After that you can enter the room and beat up the Grupins. Those are strong against Magic, so watch out magicians! That means physical damages are welcome. They do ~300 magic damage on you so be careful.
_10 small pieces can be found in here.

----------
Room 303
----------
_The room above 302, you need haste to get up there.
_Those Lioners won't attack you :D, but they just disappear and reappear.
_Ice wizards are awesome for this room, they freeze the Lioners. Then Lioners can't disappear no more :(
_Any jobs can do this room; however, I recommend sin/archer/magician because with long range they can kill those easier than those with short range. So wait until they appear and attack them.
_Each Lioner drops a small pieces. You should have 10 small pieces in here.

Then get out of the room and give your leader the small pieces. You don't have to worry about getting the <5th> here because it'll be given to your leader as you clear the stage.

Require: Haste or Long Ranges (Archer/sin/magician)

"This was formerly the storage area of the Tower of Goddess, but now, it has turned into a home of the Cellions. A Cellion took Statue of Goddess: 2nd Piece and hid with it, so it's your job to defeat it and bring back to the Statue of Goddess:2nd Piece."

----------
\ Mission \ Kill 15 Cellions to pass this stage
----------

The Cellion will spawn once at a time on different platforms. You'll need haste or long ranged members for several platforms (4,7,13) that are smaller than normal platforms. Normal jumps can't reach them. Here's how the map looks like:

"This is the walkway of the Tower of the Goddess. The Pixies broke Statue of Goddess: 1st Piece into 30 pieces, and took each and everyone of them. Please eliminate the Pixie's and bring back the 1st Small Piece. In return, I will make Statue of Goddess: 1st Piece out of them.

_The two bottom platforms have Star Pixies.
_The two middle platform have Lunar Pixies.
_The two top platforms have Luster Pixies. Before you jump down, check if you have 5 pieces for each platform. Once you get 30 small pieces, you're done.
_After you kill one pixie, it'll reappear in ghost form. It wants to revenge you because you took its small piece. :P Don't waste your time and your MP killing it because it'll die in around 25 seconds. The ghosts do around 300 damage physically and does around 800-900 magic damage. *So magicians, if you don't have Hyperbody, turn your Magic Guard on!* If you are AFK ( away from keyboard), you will mostly die, and the ghosts of course can fly, and please don't do trading in this room. Again, the leader will receive <1st> after giving Eak 30 small pieces.

[ 2J.On the way up ]
------------------
-->7500 exp.

Require: None.

"This is the path to the very top of the Tower of Goddess. at the very top, you'll find 5 levers that controls the door to the top. Your job is to identify the two levers that need to be moved, and move them accordingly. Once you have done that, let me know so I can determine whether you have moved the right ones or not."

------------
\ The basic \
------------
It's almost time for boss, don't you feel excited? Here we go, from now on, the leader will stay with Eak. :) The other members will climb up to the top. There are like 16 rows and each row has 4 stones. Only 1 out of 4 stones will take you to the upper row.

-------------
\ Strategies \
-------------
- The strategy is 4 members will stand on the 4 stones and press up whoever can get to the next row will call out the number, mark the spot so other people know where to go. Just keep going like that and you'll eventually get to the top!
- Brycy Ning said there is another easier way to up. Each party member goes on each of the stone and drops 10 mesos. Then whoever goes up will stay and the other party members will collect the mesos on the platforms that are not right (not teleport you up) and then keep going. This avoids confusion but takes a little more time. Well, choose whatever strategy you like and work best for you :D
- When you reached the top, use the party chat to tell your leader to keep clicking the cloud Eak. For leader, here is how to click fast if you didn't know how to do it. Hold down enter and keep clicking the cloud :P At the top, there are 5 switches and only 2 combinations are right. You don't have to hit the switches randomly. Only 1 member is required. Hit only 1 switch at a time: down and then back up. *Remember to keep the other switches UP not down. If the first one isn't work then go to the second one and so on. Just have fun while your leader click click like crazy :D Also thanks to savag3biow, he pointed this out to me. I thought we need to hit randomly the
5 switches. After you clear this part, a box will appear near to Eak. Inside the box is of course another <6th> :) Now, get out of there and ready for boss!

[ 2K.Goddess Statue ]

\ Mission \ Place the pieces to their correct location
----------

As you can see, the middle of the Center Tower is a statue, a broken one. Your mission is to recover the Statue. You need to get the appropriate and drop it where it should go to. The Wing should go where the wing is missing and so on. Here is where the pieces should go:

_3rd_ Wing (top)
_5th_ _6th_ Crystal - Middle part of Wing
_2nd_ Hair, you'll have to place right at the Statue's left leg

_1st_ Bottom left of Wing
_4th_ Bottom right of Wing

After you finish connecting all the Pieces, talk to Eak and then you will be at Garden!

[ 2L.Garden ]

/-------------------/
Boss: Papa Pixie
HP: 672,000
MP: 60,000
Exp: 17,000
/-------------------/

_Strong against: Ice, Lightning, Fire, Poison
_Drops: Ever Strange Seed

-----------------
Summon the boss
-----------------
First you'll need to kill the Nependeath and get the seeds. Then plant the seeds in the pots. For a while, you'll see another Nependeath will grow right where the seed is. I recommend not to kill them. Try to plant seeds on every pots you see and then kill the Dark Nependeath. Along the way you'll see a Dark Nependeath. Killing Dark Nependeath will result in "Here comes Papa Pixie". By the way, one pot that won't grow any Nependeath is the . Later on you'll need to plant Papa's seed there. That's the reason to keep the Nependeath alive, to mark the Pot of Life. Once, you're here, you can not return until you have the Grass of Life.

--------------------
Here come the boss
--------------------
Like I said, he'll hurt you about 1,300hp physically. Yes, he uses magic that hurts you ~1400hp. That's not all, Papa has DISPELL! Obviously, it cancels out all the supporting skills of yours. So be careful! Especially, wizards and clerics he'll cancel out you Magic Guard and Hyperbody leaving you vulnerable, one hit die? :) Like a snail. Well, warriors, be noble :) since you have high HP try to "tank" for your party members. I believe the best is warriors stay at front and keep Papa there while sins/archers/wizards stay at the back and attack. 1,500 damages are enough to push the bad big Papa back. Behind sins/archers will be clerics :). For bandit, all I can say is try to avoid his attacks. Be nice to clerics, they're the one who suffered the most to heal other members. Like Alishar, he will cursed you, so stock up on Eyedrops, Holywaters, and All Cures. If you got Darkness, use Eyedrops, if you got Sealed, use Holywater. Use All cures for whatever curses. :) He makes you slow too, slow just like him I guess. Papa summons Star Pixies, Lunar Pixies, and Luster Pixies. It depends on how low his HP is: If he has 3/4 his hp left, he'll summon Star Pixies. If he has 1/2 his hp left, he'll summon Lunar Pixies. If he has 1/4 his hp left, he'll summon big bad Luster Pixies to protect him. Seriously, I hate Pixies! They're annoying, and when you kill them, a ghost appears and do around 900 damage... as dangerous as the boss. So I
think it's better not to kill them. The saddest is my cleric friend, died by ghost pixies right after we killed the boss... When Papa dies, he'll drop an , all you need to do is plant the seed on the . The Seed will turn out to be a weird looking plant, hit it and get the . Then enter the portal to return to Center Tower.

-----------------
[ 2M.Center Tower ] *after boss*
-----------------
-->16099 exp.

Return to the Goddess Statue and place the Grass of Life in the middle of the Goddess Statue, near the area you drop the Hair. Then Minerva Goddess will appear and thank you for saving her. Have your leader talk to her and you will be at Bonus.

"Thank you for not only restoring the statue, but rescuing me, Minerva, from the entrapment. May the blessing of the goddess be with you til the end..."

I wonder if her blessing is the cause of we getting lower exp. the next time we enter the quest. She's probably mad because we made her "entrapped" many times as we enter the quest :P

----------
[ 2N.Bonus ]
----------
Needless to say, you just hit the boxes and see if you can get any special items out of it. You have 60 seconds.
The boxes drop:
_Coins, Popsicles, Ice cream, Juices :P
_Magic Capes lvl60
_Metal Silver Earrings lvl70
_Pink-flowered Earrings lvl60

After 60 seconds you'll be at the Treasure and the Goddess will gift you either one of these:
_Any kind of scrolls
_Level 65 gaia capes
_10 Power Elixirs
_20 Elixirs
_50 Mana Elixirs
_100 blue/white pots
_Unagis
_Screws
_Ores

-------------------
[ 2O.On The Way Out ]
-------------------
Talk to Eak to leave... If you failed the quest and you still have the items in the quest, you'll lose
them as you leave. There is away to get them out however, but I'm not going to cover the topic :) until I find out if it's against the law or not. If your party decides to rush, there is a 20 seconds delay before you can enter the quest again.

__03.Rush Party__

------------
\ The basic \
-------------
Rush parties only do the Entrance and Lobby stage and they'll rush for fast exp. Some rush parties will probably do Sealed Room too. As everybody can notice, there's a new "Glitch Party". Those parties only do Entrance and Storage. I heard that many got banned for Glitching, so I won't explain how it is done.

-------------
\ Strategies \
-------------
_Every time a party rush out, there are some delay seconds. Like I said earlier, you'll have to wait around 20 seconds before you can get in again. So the other party might have a chance to get in too if you click slow.
_To get out of the PQ fast in order to get back in fast, have one person of your party be a "leaver" that means the person will leave the party as he or she gain the exp. The leader will then reinvite the leaver, to be able to invite fast leader should have the character screen open or the "leaver" just stand where it is easy for leader to click and invite.

__04.Tracking__

Well, tracking is when you use the /find command to know where someone is at. So some people will write down the name of the people who are in party quest and track them to know when they're going to finish the party quest.

Marc's Quite Simple Guide

2009-12-29T11:21:00.002+08:00

1. What are fighters?
Fighters are supposed to be soloing machines, they deal heavy damage to single targets, and even more as they become crusaders.

2. AP Guide - Care to put your ability points in the right amount?

You'll need a certain amount of Strenght(STR) and a bit of Dexterity (DEX) to use your equipment and weapons. A safe point to stop adding Dexterity would be somewhere between levels 80-100, or you might want to keep it so you have DEX enough to hit monsters like Zakum sooner.

*NOTE* THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU SHOULD KNOW UNTIL LEVEL 70. The perfect build for a warrior is to roll the dice at:
12 STR
05 DEX
04 INT
04 LUK

Actually, the first two stats doesn't really matter, as in 7 levels you can raise your strenght to 35, which is the minimum required to become a warrior, what you must have is 4/5 INT, 4/5 LUK, being 4 and 4 a perfect, though it takes time to be achieved, you'll usually get 4/5, 5/5, it's not bad and won't do much of a difference at higher levels.

The most important thing to be remembered as a warrior is: Your Dexterity(DEX) must be equivalent to twice your level. Example :
Level 10 = 20 DEX
Level 15 = 30 DEX
Level 20 = 40 DEX, and so on..., until level 30.

When you reach the fabled 30th level, you might want to add all you points in Strenght(STR).The motive for that is that your Briggon (Level 35 Glove), needs 125 STR and your Knukcle, (Level 40 Gloves) needs 150 STR. After reaching level 40, you might want to restart your Dexterity(DEX) raising. Keep in mind that from now on, every 10 levels, to use your gloves, you'll need 30 STR each level, which gives you 20 points to be added in DEX every 10 levels. It might be impossible to retrieve your Dexterity(DEX) to the desired Twice as your level, unless you get the armor which gives Strenght(STR) bonus, and increase them with scrolls, but actually, if you would do that, you would rather enjoy the high damaging of having such a big increase in Strenght(STR).

An ideal build for your strenght if you prefer to wait some levels to wear your gloves would be :

Level 10 - 40 Strength

Level 15 - 55 Strength

Level 20 - 70 Strength

Level 25 - 85 Strength

Level 30 - 100 Strength

Level 35 - 120 Strength

Level 40 - 140 Strength

Level 50 - 180 Strength

Level 60 - 210 Strength

Level 70 - 250 Strength

3. SP Guide - How to build your skills?

I'll explain what each skill does before giving you a list on where to spend your SP.

Improving HP Recovery : This turns your base 10 HP recovery every 10 sec. to a maximum of 60 HP per 10 sec.

Improving HP Max Increase : This will make your HP grow more each level. Example : It would increase 10 points per level, now it might increase up to 50-100.

Endure : This allows you to gain HP while hanging on ropes or ladders, first, at every 30 sec., to a maximum of (amount achieved by Improving HP recovery) HP per 10 sec.(same as standing on the ground by the way).

Iron Body : This increases your Weapon Defense for some time. Since monsters don't use weapons, at least you won't see them wearing weapons for a while, think of it as the damage of being ran by monsters, or ranged attacks such as Nependeaths' seed spitting.

Power Strike : The main attacking skill for Warriors/Fighters/Spearmen/Pages, whatever you are. Uses a small amount(You will find it quite expensive first off, but you'll realize it's cheap later) of MP to deal a devastating blow(not that devastating at the beggining, but even so devastating) to your foes.

Slash Blast : The second skill for Warrior/Fighter/Spearman/Page.Uses a small amount of HP and MP to deal an attack that pierces trough your enemy skins and hits those near or behind him, hitting up to 6 enemies.

Now, to the first SP Guide.

Level 10 - 1 HP Recovery
Level 11 - 3 HP Recovery
Level 12 - 1 HP Recovery, 2 Max Hp Increase
Level 13 - 3 Max Hp Increase
Level 14 - 3 Max HP Increase
Level 15 - 2 Max Hp Increase, 1 Power Strike
From here on, you'll have to choose wheter, you're maxing Power Strike, to which I'll refer as PS from now on or Slash Blast, to which I'll refer as SB from now on.
Level 16 - 3 PS/SB
Level 17 - 3 PS/SB
Level 18 - 3 PS/SB
Level 19 - Save 3 SP
Level 20 - Save 3 SP
Level 21 - 9 PS/SB
Level 22 - 1 PS(20) 2SB(depends on which you chose to max first) OR 2
SB(20) 1 PS
Level 23 - 3 PS/SB
Level 24 - 3 PS/SB
Level 25 - 3 PS/SB
Level 26 - 3 PS/SB
Level 27 - 3 PS/SB
Level 28 - 3 PS(20)/SB(20)
Level 29 - 2 HP Recovery, 1 Endure
Level 30 - 2 Endure

This is a guide that goes for attacking skills, which might take you to a fast leveling to level 30.

This is my brother guide, which he made based on mine, then made changes after Max HP Increase.

Level 10 - 1 HP Recovery
Level 11 - 3 HP Recovery
Level 12 - 1 HP Recovery, 2 Max HP Increase
Level 13 - 3 Max Hp Increase
Level 14 - 3 Max Hp Increase
Level 15 - 2 Max Hp Increase, 1 Power Strike
Level 16 - 3 PS
Level 17 - 3 PS
Level 18 - 3 PS
Level 19 - 3 SB
Level 20 - 3 SB
Level 21 - 3 SB
Level 22 - 1 SB, 2 Endure
Level 23 - 1 Endure
Level 24 - 3 Iron Body
Level 25 - 3 Iron Body
Level 26 - 3 Iron Body
Level 27 - 2 Iron Body, 1 Power Strike or 1 Slash Blast (you'll max the other one in the early 2nd Job)
Level 28 - 3 PS/SB
Level 29 - 3 PS/SB
Level 30 - 3 PS/SB

This ends your Warrior life with:

5 HP Recovery
10 MaxHp Increase
3 Endure

Level 69 - 3 Sword/Axe Booster
Level 70 - 1 Sword/Axe Booster, Now, 2 points left, I suggest maxing Rage and Mastery, but you can spend on anything else.

Second Job Information :

Mastery - This should be raised to level 19 or 20 before you start bringing up any other skills.
The increased minimum damage and accuracy is very important.

Final Attack - This is a good choice if you like to fight powerful monsters with Power Strike or Slash Blast instead of normal hitting. It lets you land an extra attack right after using a skill attack (Power Strike or Slash Blast) without using any MP. However,it can hurt you if you don't know how to use it. Because a Final Attack takes less time to use than a normal attack, it may hit the enemy before it recovers from the first knockback. This results in a failure to knockback the enemy with the Final Attack, even if you do sufficient damage. Against slow enemies such as Stone Golems, this is not a big problem. On the other hand, a normal speed monster may hit you before you kill/knockback with a third hit, and a pepe could even avoid your attack if it is lucky enough. To get around this problem, either fight monsters that you will almost
always kill in 1-2 hits.

Booster - This is a very important skill if you use two-handed axes. The reason for this is because two-handed axes are the slowest of all weapons available to the Fighter. However, adding points increases the duration and decreases HP/MP cost without making the weapon any faster. For this reason, you only need 5-6 points to start off with, and can add more later. At level 6, it costs 24 HP/MP and lasts for 60 seconds. This skill should probably be taken second or third if you use two-handed axes, and any time you want for other weapons.

Rage - This is an extremely useful skill. Once you raise it to level 19-20, it adds 10 Attack Power, which is like having a sparta stronger than a doombringer, which is what having a weapon 10 levels higher means. After using Iron Body, the defense penalty is completely negated. After applying multipliers from Power Strike and Slash Blast, this can easily raise your damage by a few hundred per hit. This would make a good second skill if you don't mind spending the extra MP on it. It costs 20 MP for 160 seconds at level 20.

Power Guard - This is a powerful defensive skill. When you are hit with a touch attack(when you are ran or hitten by monsters), it reduces the damage done to you by a certain percent and also does that amount of damage to the monster. For example, an attack that would normally do 100 damage to you would do only 60 to you with level 30 Power Guard, and would also do 40 damage to the monster. However, it has a fairly high MP cost and short duration compared with
other Fighter spells. This skill will reduce the damage you take by a lot, but also eats up
MP pretty quickly and has to be recast often. It's up to you to decide when the HP it saves you is worth the MP and repeated casting.

4. Training Guide, I told you what to add, but how are you going to
earn these points?

Levels 1-10 : Snails, Orange Mushrooms, Slimes and Snails.

Levels 10-15 : Slimes are your better choice here.

Levels 15-20 : Slimes are still a good choice, tough you'll start getting attack skills here so Pig Beach
______________________________________________________________________
Levels 20-25 :
Victoria Island : Pigs are your paradise, and I actually had much fun there with my good warrior partner, with who I kept fighting to see who would level faster, and by the way, having a friend of your level might heat you up to making a lot of leveling so you outlevel him, or just to reach his level. Ossyria : At Aqualand, several sealife are weak and you may want to try this place though I wouldn抰 recommend.

Levels 25-30 :
Victoria Island :
Warriors aren't much appreciated at Party Quest, mostly known as PQ, but from now on, you can handle Ligators finely, as well as Curse Eyes and King Slime, Neckis are a pain in the ass so just leave them to the mages/sins/archers. Your other alternative are hunting octopuses at Sleepywood's Hidden Streets, check http://www.hidden-street.net/maps/hiddenstreet.php again for moreinfo on where you could go, pigs are still a wonderful choice, or, if you have a good weapon, or by level 28 or so, with a normal weapon you can go Wild Boars

Ossyria : If you don't like Wild Boars you can kill Jr. Sentinels at 20th floor of Orbis Tower or some sealife at Aqualand (don't forget Air Bubbles)

Levels 30-35 : Congratz, you now are a fighter, or at least I hope you are if you're reading this guide.
Victoria Island : Your reward is, more wildboars, really, this is the only thing you should fight.
Ossyria :Jr. Sentinels are still an option for wild boars and sealife at Aqualand might be easier now.

Levels 35-40 : Well, now you are where most warriors lose their fun in Maple, but please try not do it yourself.You can still fight wildboars here, but you might be sick of them by now..., if you are a Shield bearer you might want to move to fireboars ASAP, but being a two-handed weapon wielder, it'll be more profitable to remain in Wild Boars until level 38 or so. An option for fireboars is Jr. Cats, in Orbis, as well as leattys, tough these damage you higher, the cats are usually called kitties, and there are three types of them, you might want to fight Jr. Lioners, the
yellow ones, since they drop warrior equipment, Jr. Cellions are the red ones, they're good for getting flaming feathers, tough lioners got them as well, but with a smaller drop rate, the third ones are Jr. Grupins, though due to the high number of fire mages around,(they're weak
against fire as cellions are against Ice and Lioners against Lighting), that place is usually crowded}.

BUT...NOW WE HAVE LUDI PQ!!!
"So what?" you may ask, since we're low level and being warriors most people won't want us on their parties. Yah, that's true you all know, warriors aren't needed in any part of PQ, but one thing to know about Alishar is : Sins and magicians suck against him, bowmen and warriors can pawn it in instants so every once in a while you WILL get in a party, but perhaps it ain't good to get there...yet for I suppose you really ain't strong enough to do much of a difference. We also have Ludi monsters which we can't forget eh? Ratz in Eos are exactly like kitties and boars, and you maybe could try blocktopus, but they're still hard. Teddy bears, duckies and toy soldiers(these will be a challenge)are somewhat like kitties and boars or ratz. In Aqualand you may want to try one of the other sealife though I wouldn't advice you to.I actually don't like fish .

Levels 40-45 : Well, now you are on the upgrading area, the moment where you'll start to get sick of wearing the same set of armor for 10 levels, get used to it tough, there's no alternative other than wearing weaker armor..., Fireboars are still a good choice, tough I prefer Jr. Kitten at Orbis.

Ludi PQ is easier and more rewarding now, but you can try ratz still, toy soldiers, pandas in the inner clock tower and little or platoon chronos, but not Master ones. Sealife at Aqualand is nice, try out to see what can you kill.

Levels 45-50 : Fireboars now are kinda...., loss of time, kitties are wonderful for making money, but if you prefer experience to money, you'll prefer Copper Drakes, tough you'll have a short profit there in the early 45's. Ludi PQ now is a must for fast leveling.Toy soldiers ain't worth anymore, neither pandas too much, but tobos aren't either for they are a bit stronger than you.
There are also trixters along with blocktopuses in EOS which are very fair for leveling, they're the average leveling but rather boring, and boringness spreads easy on this game though I may be wrong, it's just I that find they boring, if you like them...Have fun! The nicer choice I've found is block gollems with a cleric or with a 3-4 people party of people around your level.Of course you can still try block gollems without a cleric but it is almost profitless since you'll be basically paying for the pots you spent and only making a profit for pieces of equipment you find. There're also Sealife, I haven't trained on the monsters for this level yet but you could try since they seem to give average drops and XP.

Guide to Perma Beginners

2009-12-28T14:50:00.002+08:00

What is a Perma-Beginner?

A Perma-Beginner is someone who refuses to take a job at level 8 or 10, and continue leveling as a beginner. They're often called superbeginners, since their skills are beyond and above regular beginners.
_____________________________________________________________________
Reasons to be a Perma Beginner.

Being jobless sucks, in real life or otherwise, and MapleStory is no different. However, there is something nice about not having a job, and that's not having any responsibilities either. No one cares if your n00b does not make it to level 70, nor do they expect it. Taxis cost only at
maximum 120 mesos, which makes a perma-beginner a great way to deliver goods to guild members and offsite auction winners. Since you don't lose experience when you die, you are free to explore Victoria Island without fear of death. Go ahead and fight the Crimson Balrog or Mushmom at level 15, just don't expect to win.

It's also difficult to be the most powerful people on your server, but fairly easy to reach the top 10 on any server as a beginner, just make it to around level 35 on any servers.
_____________________________________________________________________
Reasons not to be a Perma Beginner.

I don't recommend a perma beginner as your main character, just as something to do when you're bored of your main character. They level slowly, they're the lowest power of any class, and if you like melee combat, warriors are a much better choice, since beginners are limited to only one-on-one combat, with no mob control skills.

They don't have much of a choice in armor or weapons, with no armor(excluding capes and helmets) after level 31. They also have less inventory space, which makes them less ideal as a storage box then a warrior.

Anytime you spend with your Beginner is time you could have spent with your
main character.

===============================================================

Three kinds of Perma Beginners

There are three kinds of Perma Beginners: Islanders, Snail Crushers and Pros. Islanders stay on Maple Island and attempt to be the most powerful character there.

Pro: Very easy to become the strongest character on Maple Island
Con: Not much to do on Maple Island, so it gets really boring after level 25.

Snail Crushers prefer to master a low-level monster, rather than train towards higher ones.
Pro: Other characters awe at your skills as you ks in your undies.
Con: Can get very boring fighting the same monster over and over again.

Pros actually play the beginner class as a serous class. They attempt to compete with everyone, a tough choice.
Pro: You have the best chance with this build to reach level 70.
Con: You're much weaker then every other class, so the training is very slow and unrewarding.
_____________________________________________________________________
So, you want to be an Islander?

Well, here's the perfect roll you want.

Str X
Dex 4
Int 4
Luk X

Unlike off the Island, all you need is 4 accuracy to hit everything, which you can obtain with 4 luk and 4 dex. Having more in dex is fine, but Int should be 4.

There are two standard builds for Islanders. The first would maximize your chances of one hit killing a monster by using strength and dex. With the standard 10% mastery, strength adds to your maximum damage while dex adds to your minimum damage. At some point, raising your strength will not yield a better chance of one hit killing a monster. The calculations supplied by
Shoax(using a 38 attack purse)

For best chance of 1HKO Orange Mushroom: Cap at 205 STR, rest into DEX
For best chance of 2HKO Orange Mushroom: Cap at 100 STR, rest into DEX
For best chance of 3HKO Orange Mushroom: Cap at 65 STR, rest into DEX

The 2nd build would be to add to luk instead of dex, to take advantage of more avoid. Since a miss prevents knockback, it's possible that your beginner will be able to train faster.

Training:
I recommend getting the razor as soon as you can afford it. Its range is pretty poor, but it's an ultimate shroom and snail killer. Keep the first weapon for the Orange Mushrooms, until you find a high attack sword. Around level 7 ~ 8, begin focusing on obtaining the drops you need to be the best-dressed and equipped character on maple island.

(Side note for the jobbed classes, once you get mastery, strength adds more to your minimum attack then dex does. However, with 10% mastery, dex adds more to your minimum attack than strength)

Usable Items that can be used with the limited number of Island Items:

Scroll for Helmet for Def. (60%) - Orange Mushroom

You can also barter a brown or green skullcap or a red, yellow, green or blue headband from the pre-jobbers doing the "Bring this letter to Lucas" quest. If you made it to level 10, you can also party and train pre-jobbers in exchange for these items.

I'd recommend some training areas, but I guarantee by level 15, you will have been over the Island many, many times and know it all by heart.

Congratulations, you're on your way to becoming king of the Island.
_____________________________________________________________________
So, you want to be a Snail Crusher?

Snail Crushers rule the n00bs. A snail crusher chooses to master a certain monster, such as squishes, orange mushrooms, snails or boars. You may choose to rule the squishy tree, or Land of the Wild Boar or whatever map(s) you choose.

The build is very simple, add dex until you can hit the monster you want to fight, add strength and dex until you can one hit kill them, then add luk so you can 100% avoid them.(scrolls and buff items maybe used to archive your goal). Fight in your undies! The build is basically the same as the Islander, you just get off the Island, I recommend leaving the Island at level 16 ~ 20, because that's when you begin to become too powerful for it or leave when you're ready to face your real adversary.

Orange mushroom spawns at the Dangerous Forest are really nice on the Island, much better than the slime tree. If everyone could stay to level 20, they would.

There's no real training for this build, because it's up to you which goal you want to hit.

This website has an estimated chance to hit calculator. This calculation uses *accuracy*, not dex, which can be found by clicking Abilities and then clicking details. You get 4 accuracy for every 5 dex you add and 1 accuracy for every 2 luk you add.
_____________________________________________________________________
So, you want to be a ProBeginner?

Pros are built with the goal of hitting the high levels, although it's a lofty attempt. High-level beginners are rare; everyone wants to be a friend of a 30 level n00b, when they're not accusing you of cheating.

Str X
Dex X
Int 4
Luk 4

Is the perfect build, having more in luk won't hurt, but int is mostly useless, because AP is better off spent somewher else.

Originally, I thought the warrior 2x dex per level build was good enough for a beginner, but I was mistaken, I apologies for anyone who followed that advice, because it's a wrong fit for a beginner. My new suggestion is to just obtain exactly the acc needed to hit your target 100%, and plan head to reach that goal. Then dump everything into strength you need for dex, because beginners require the extra strength to make up for our lack of skills.

I'm going to start a new trend in warrior guides, I'm just going to list acc needed to hit what I recommend for you to train on, and I'll leave it up to the reader on how to obtain the needed acc, whither by scrolling your equipment, using acc adding equipment like the red headband, or the pig illustrated, by using sniper pots (+5 acc) or pills (+10 acc), by add dex. (5 dex = 4 acc) or by adding luk (2 luk = 1 acc)

Again do *not* gradually build up your acc by adding dex, because this makes training even slower. Put everything into dex at the last possible level to reach your next accuracy goal for your next training area. You'll be training on the same thing for many levels, so being able to hit it for more damage is more important than being able to hit things you won't train on for a few
levels. Planning your training route beforehand is required, but part of the fun of a hard build like perma-beginner is trying to find the optimal path that will lead you to level 70+.

Unless otherwise noted, the recommend acc is to hit 100%, although many warriors suggest that 50% ~ 75% is good enough, so it's possible to train on these things with less acc then listed, just use the acc calculator to make sure you're going to hit above 50%.

Here's a guess at training.
Level 1-10 Snails on Maple Island
==== Level 0 Acc 1

Level 8-25 Orange Mushrooms at Maple Island
Level 9-25 Orange Mushrooms at Dangerous Forest on Maple Island (Good spawn)
Level 9 ~ 25 Orange Mushrooms at Small Field of Flowers on Maple Island
Level 10 -25 Orange Mushrooms at Henesey Hunting Grounds I

==== Level 8 Acc 4

Level 10-Forever Slime Tree. (You're not a n00b if you haven't played
in the slime tree)
==== Level 10 Acc 4

Level 20-30 Green Mushrooms at Henesey Hunting Grounds I
Level 20-30 Green Mushrooms at Tree Dungeons around Ellinia.

I'd like to mention here, that there's also the Zakum PQ, which gives
out exp for completing it.

Ultimate beginner / some beginner ranting.

Since the n00b is basically a warrior without skills, so it's possible to do the ultimate fighter build on him. Gloves, Shoes, Capes and Overall Armor can be +dex scrolled, so it's possible to dump all skill points into str and rely on scrolled armors to take the place of your missing dex. This would give a beginner enough strength to overpower all other classes's raw damage.

Another possibility is to put points in your skill points in luk instead of dex in the proBeginner. Having a lot of monsters missing may make up for the lack of armor past level 31.

Another strategy is Instead of relying on avoid, a beginner may attempt to get the max amount of jump and speed. This would allow a beginner to manually avoid monsters, instead of relying on avoid. The catch is that monsters often spawn right on top of you, which is pretty difficult to manually avoid, but for all other cases, it's more reliable than hoping the game mechanics will do it for you.
_____________________________________________________________________

Jobbed Beginners.

A job beginner is somewhat of a vague category. The basic idea is to create a beginner-style character, but give him a job so he can use many of the skills along with his toy weapons. This is different then just a unique build, because a unique build looks at a class and figures out a new way of modifying it while a job beginner tweaks a beginner's build around a class. Below are
common job beginners.

Woodsman

A woodsman is a bowman that takes advantage of *The Blessing of Amazon* and *Focus* to gain +36 free accuracy, allowing for a beginner with more strength(and therefore more raw damage) then a normal build. In the second job, a woodsman can use *Power Knock Back* with a bow to do damage, instead of their toy weapons, since the Maple weapons can be equipped without a dex requirement. Many Woodsmen who focuses on Power Knock Back prefers to be called
a "Bow Whacker" rather then a woodsman.

Standard build:
Blessing of Amazon -> Focus -> whatever, since you need to burn AP

Brigand

A Brigand is a bandit that takes advantage of the often unused bandit skills, like Max Dark Sight, Max Steal and Max Disorder as well as haste and Nimble Body. Both Max Disorder and Max Steal are very good PQ skills, which makes a Brigand a good PQ support character.

Standard Build:
Max Nimble Body -> Max Disorder -> Max Disorder -> 1 point in Whatever
Max Haste -> Max Steal -> Whatever.

Str Mage aka Mace mage aka Palladian aka GuardMage

I'm very hesitate to include the strength mage as a jobbed beginner, because in truth, a strength mage is a previously supported class, with it's mace for mages and Blue Doros Robe which gives +3 strength. However, I included it because Nexon dropped the support for this class by failing to give mages mace mastery and mace booster in the 2nd job, as well as failing to make the 50+ level maces available to magicians. After about level 50, a Str mage must use the same
beginner toy weapons and armor a normal beginner must use, which is why I consider them jobbed beginners.

Of all the jobbed beginners, a str mage is probably the best off. In the first job they get Magic Guard and Magic Armor. And they are free to pick which class in the 2nd job. An I/L mage has the ability to freeze a monster and attack them. A F/P mage can poison a monster and use their
weapons to finish them off. A Cleric gets heal, which is pretty weak for attacking monsters without the needed int, but since healing yourself and your party is % based and not magic attack based, it's very useful. All of them get teleport, which most warriors would give their left nut for.

Standard Build:
Magic Armor -> Magic Guard -> MP Recovery(5)-> Improving Max MP -> MP recovery

I/L:
Ice Beam -> Teleport -> Slow -> Whatever

F/P:
Poison -> Teleport -> Slow -> Whatever

Cleric:
Heal -> Teleport > Bless -> Invincible -> Whatever
_____________________________________________________________________
Party Questing

After meeting 2Hearts1Lov3 and having a minor discussion with Dreamnoob; I now fully recommend PQ'ing for all perma-beginners who are experienced PQ'ers.

I originally thought it would be tough for a beginner to find a PQ, but I forgot that one of the coolest things you can do is party with a subern00b, and most PQ'ers know it! Secondly, most beginner have no problem leaving the boss stages,since beginner do not have a chance with Alishar, and only a minor chance with the King Slime. This means the beginner is free to check and find tracks, as well as scout out the area for a rush. That makes beginner a value to
the party.

The reason I suggest this route for experienced PQ'ers, is because as a beginner, you'll drag your party down during battle heavy stages, so you need to make up for it by doing quick non-battle stages.(sometimes half the PQ is stage 8!)

Here's the accuracy needed to hit some of the PQ monsters.

===============================================================

Armor and Weapons.

My personal suggestion is to head towards blunt weapons. They are the cheapest to scroll and you'll need to scroll if you want to make it to the later levels. Plus, there's just something cool about ks jobbed Maplers with your purse. Otherwise, you're pretty limited in your choices. Just
choose what you like, because n00bs are style over substance.

The Snowboards and Roses are also nice.

Some notable weapons and armors I've found: The plunger (level 25), which is dropped from the Jr. Lioner, because it's maximum possible attack, is 49 without scrolling. That's much higher than most class's 30 level weapons and much cheaper to scroll, too.

The Fish Spear, which is dropped from bubbling. Avoid the one from the Aqua road quest, it's pretty weak.
The Pigs Illustrated, which gives a +10 accuracy.
The Maple Sword is a level 35 weapon with gives +20 to acc.
The Maple Soul Singer is a level 43 weapon that gives +30 acc A godly Dex scrolled Sauna robe is easy-ish to find, since other classes like them as well. If not, 1 10% and 9 100% dex scroll Sauna robe is a good option.
In MapleGlobal, a funded beginner can scroll an American flag and get that extra +10 strength as well as a weapon that has the potetional of being better then the average 25 level weapons.
In MapleGlobal, the Valentine Roses are pretty good weapons, especially since polearm scrolls are fairly cheap.

There are two frozen tunas, the first is a level 10 weapon which can be equipped by anyone, while the level 20 weapon is for beginners only.

MapleSEA has the Sake Bottle, which has more attack then any average weapon
in the game.
____________________________________________________________________
Scrolling.

Just like a normal class's 6x, you'll be 25+ for a very long time, so you benefit from scrolling everything.

I'm only listing the ones available on MapleGlobal, so it's possible your version of MapleStory has additional scrolls. The ones marked with a *#* can be purchased, otherwise they must be found or bought on the FM.

********************************
This is a list of scrolls that improve Dex
********************************.

Scroll for Cape for Dex 100% = +1 Dex
Scroll for Cape for Dex 60% = + 2 Dex
Scroll for Cape for Dex 10% = + 3 Dex

*2* *3* Scroll for Gloves for Dex 100% = +1 Acc
Scroll for Gloves for Dex 60% = +2 Acc, +1 Dex
Scroll for Gloves for Dex 10% = +5 Acc, +3 Dex , +1 Avoid

*1* Scroll for Overall for Dex 100% = +1 to Dex
Scroll for Overall for Dex 60% = +1 Acc, +2 Dex
Scroll for Overall for Dex 10% = +3 Acc , +5 Dex, +1 Speed

Scroll for Shoes for Dex 100% = *No Dex! Misleading name!* +1 Avoid
Scroll for Shoes for Dex 60% = +1 Acc, +2 Avoid
Scroll for Shoes for Dex 10% = +3 Acc, +5 Avoid, +1 Speed

Scroll for Shoes for Jump 60% = +2 Jump, +1 Dex
Scroll for Shoes for Jump 10% = +5 Jump, +3 Dex, +1 Speed

****************************************
I recommend scrolling your helmet for HP as well
****************************************

*1* *2*Scroll for Helmet for HP 100% = +5 HP
Scroll for Helmet for HP 60% = +10 HP
Scroll for Helmet for HP 10% = +30 HP

*3* Vega from the 44 floor of EoS Tower

============================================================

Skills and possible training

N00bs got Skillz! Beginner skills are here to let pre-mages and pre-thieves, who have really poor damage, have a chance to complete the quests on Maple Island. Here's a list of the skills you can choose from.

Recover
Recover HP over a period of 30 seconds - usable only once every ten minutes
Level 1 - Use 10 MP to heal 24 HP.
Level 2 - Use 20 MP to heal 48 HP.
Level 3 - Use 30 MP to heal 72 HP.

Three Snails
Throw a snail shell to attack an enemy from far away.
Level 1 - Use 10 MP to throw a snail shell for 10 damage
Level 2 - Use 15 MP to throw a blue snail shell for 25 damage
Level 3 - Use 20 MP to throw a red snail shell for 40 damage

Agility Tickle
Suddenly move quickly. Usable once every fifteen minutes.
Level 1 - Use 10 MP to gain 10 speed for 4 seconds.
Level 2 - Use 15 MP to gain 15 speed for 8 seconds.
Level 3 - Use 30 MP to gain 20 speed for 12 seconds.

And now a real description, since those ones are pretty sparse.

Recover is good before you need MP. Every 10 minutes, it gives you 72 HP, which is about one pot, and 10 minutes between usage gives a beginner enough time to recharge MP naturally. However, when a person needs MP for their main skills, this one is pointless.

Agility Tickle is often called beginner haste, but it's better described as beginner flash jump. It's not here to aid in training, but to use the extra speed to escape from a bad situation and position yourself into a better one.

Three Snails is probably the best skill in the 3. 10, 25 or 40 damage. Most people prefer only putting two points in this skill, since it's much easier to find blue snails then red ones. This skill was nerfed, it originally always hit, but now it only hits based on your own accuracy.
============================================================

Conclusion

This route is not for everyone, in fact, it's really just for goofing off and trying to be different. Don't be afraid to not follow a build, explore places you shouldn't have been, get owned by the various creatures that inhabit MapleStory and have a good time. Perma-Beginner is all about style over substance, to be the guy with a baseball cap and a snowboard competing against
someone with a sword and armor

It's a chance to play a character that can lose nothing in MapleStory, one that doesn't belong in the Maple world, and one that is not afraid to step outside the boat during the trip between Orbis and Ellinia. One that will never care about flashily moves.

All Mario has is jump and attack, and he gets to rescue the princess! If it's good enough for him, it's good enough for you.

Fast and Cheap Warrior Levelling to 30

2009-12-27T14:57:00.001+08:00

1.0 Introduction
================

Hiyo everybody! Well, I am Guruji, and as you can tell, I like the Warrior class. So why choose them? Not saying that you have to, but unlike other classes, warriors deal the most close range damage ever. At level 70, they dish out a lot of damage. Warriors also have a lot more HP than any other class out there.

Yet still, You always see others complain on how warriors just plain old suck. Why do they say that? Two reasons, they level slow and can抰 make over 100k properly until level after level 35. Now, how do you prevent this? Easy, just follow this build:

This warrior build is made in order to allow the fastest warrior levelling possible. You may not be able to hit monsters such as Green Mushrooms, Boars and Horny Mushrooms as early as you may want to. Neither will you be able to PQ properly until level 26. However, this guide still shows a fast way of levelling.

===================
1.1 Ap Distribution
===================

First of all, lets start off with the AP build. All that needs to be done is that by level 10, your warrior must have 20 DEX and the rest of the points should be put into STR. After which you should do the following:

Level SP
===== ==
10 DEX +5
11 STR +5
12 STR +5
13 STR +5
14 STR +5
15 STR +5
16 STR +5
17 STR +5
18 STR +5
19 STR +5
20 STR +5
21 STR +5
22 STR +5
23 DEX +5
24 DEX +5
25 DEX +5
26 DEX +5
27 DEX +5
28 DEX +5
29 DEX +5
30 DEX +5

By following this build, you will have exactly 60 DEX and approximately 100 STR by level 30.
You will be doing around 200+ damage without power strike at level 20, which I believe is
really good. This would save MP pots because you would not have any need to spam power
strike while fighting, which at low levels, is a huge pot user. Well, so far by following this, you will save MP pots. Now, onto the SP build, which will most likely save you HP pots
===================
1.2 SP Distribution
===================

Level AP/Skill
===== ========
10 1 HP Recovery
11 3 HP Recovery
12 1 HP Recovery, 2 MAX HP Increase
13 3 MAX HP Increase
14 3 MAX HP Increase
15 2 MAX HP Increase, 1 Endure
16 1 Power Strike, 2 Slash Blast
17 3 Slash Blast
18 3 Slash Blast
19 3 Slash Blast
20 3 Slash Blast
21 3 Slash Blast
22 3 Slash Blast
23 3 Power Strike
24 3 Power Strike
25 3 Power Strike
26 3 Power Strike
27 3 Power Strike
28 3 Power Strike
29 1 Power Strike, 2 Use on anything
30 3 Use on anything

Well, by level 20, you should have almost 1000 hp. Slash Blast at a lower level speeds up levelling because you can mass kill easily, which is very helpful at pig beach.

==================
1.3 Training spots
==================

Level Spot
===== ====
01-10 Maple Island
10-18 Henesys Hunting Grounds 1,2 or 3
18-23 Pig Beach
23-30 Horny Mushrooms
27-30 Party Quest

===========
1.4 The End
===========

Well, by level 15, you should have 30-40k mesos. I did in Khaini. By level 30, you should have around over 200k. Well, this is all for now and I hope that it will help you level your warrior
to the max. Message me if it works or if there are any mistakes and I will be sure to fix it.

Maplestory Scrolling Guide

2009-12-25T13:27:00.001+08:00

This will be a rather brief section to the FAQ. I'll just quickly explain to you which stuff you'll want to scroll, how to scroll it, etc.

First, and most importantly, you're going to want an attack glove. Attack gloves affect Assassins like you wouldn't believe. On top of the attack glove you should also always use Warrior potions, it'll make training much better. For example, I use a 10 attack glove, and it raises the damage that I can do with Lucky 7 by up to about 300 damage per star. Which is a lot, really. Then on top of that, the warrior potion, which will also help loads. The only problem for this is the price. Buying a prescrolled 11 attack glove will cost you an insane amount, currently it's about 30 million maple story mesos, and rising. A 10 attack is about 20 million, and an 8 attack is about 12 million. These are all assuming there are no slots again. If you've got an 11 attack glove with slots left, I envy you, seriously. This is pretty much the main reason why you'll want to fund your character.

Claw scrolling... This is a bit fuzzy. It's perfectly acceptable to scroll your level 50 claw with 100% scrolls, but if you can afford to use 60% scrolls, it's even better. Just hopefully you'll get 5 to 7 of them to work, which will end up making you a decent profit. Only succeeding 4 wont be much good, since then it'll only be 1 more attack and 4 more accuracy then you would've achieved by using 100% scrolls. Any claw past the Slain should be scrolled with 60% scrolls. Why spend 19 million mesos on a Gigantic when you're just going to use 490,000 mesos worth of scrolls on it? It's nonsense, that's what it is.

Shoe scrolling. Believe it or not, 10% Shoe Jump scrolls add 3 DEX. This isn't bad if you want to do an off-dex build, which is scrolling DEX into an equipment, and then using that DEX to meet your equipment requirements, instead of adding points into DEX with your AP. It's not too difficult to just keep trying to succeed the first slot of a snowshoe with a 10% Shoe jump scroll, and then finish with 60% shoe jump scrolls. This could all add up to a shoe not only with a lot of jump (Which you don't need, since Haste will bring you almost to the Jump Cap), but you'll also receive up to 9 DEX, which is a lot, and probably worth your time.

Cape scrolling... I believe I talked about this a bit earlier. But if you want the best results, use either 60% Cape LUK or 60% Cape DEX scrolls. It'd be nice to get a 10% to work on the first slot, but it'll cost you a lot of maplestory mesos, depending on the cape you're using. The extra stats will more than likely help.

Marc's Quite Simple Guide

1. What are fighters?
Fighters are supposed to be soloing machines, they deal heavy damage to single targets, and even more as they become crusaders.

2. AP Guide - Care to put your ability points in the right amount?

You'll need a certain amount of Strenght(STR) and a bit of Dexterity (DEX) to use your equipment and weapons. A safe point to stop adding Dexterity would be somewhere between levels 80-100, or you might want to keep it so you have DEX enough to hit monsters like Zakum sooner.

*NOTE* THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU SHOULD KNOW UNTIL LEVEL 70. The perfect build for a warrior is to roll the dice at:
12 STR
05 DEX
04 INT
04 LUK

Actually, the first two stats doesn't really matter, as in 7 levels you can raise your strenght to 35, which is the minimum required to become a warrior, what you must have is 4/5 INT, 4/5 LUK, being 4 and 4 a perfect, though it takes time to be achieved, you'll usually get 4/5, 5/5, it's not bad and won't do much of a difference at higher levels.

The most important thing to be remembered as a warrior is: Your Dexterity(DEX) must be equivalent to twice your level. Example :
Level 10 = 20 DEX
Level 15 = 30 DEX
Level 20 = 40 DEX, and so on..., until level 30.

When you reach the fabled 30th level, you might want to add all you points in Strenght(STR).The motive for that is that your Briggon (Level 35 Glove), needs 125 STR and your Knukcle, (Level 40 Gloves) needs 150 STR. After reaching level 40, you might want to restart your Dexterity(DEX) raising. Keep in mind that from now on, every 10 levels, to use your gloves, you'll need 30 STR each level, which gives you 20 points to be added in DEX every 10 levels. It might be impossible to retrieve your Dexterity(DEX) to the desired Twice as your level, unless you get the armor which gives Strenght(STR) bonus, and increase them with scrolls, but actually, if you would do that, you would rather enjoy the high damaging of having such a big increase in Strenght(STR).

An ideal build for your strenght if you prefer to wait some levels to wear your gloves would be :

Level 10 - 40 Strength

Level 15 - 55 Strength

Level 20 - 70 Strength

Level 25 - 85 Strength

Level 30 - 100 Strength

Level 35 - 120 Strength

Level 40 - 140 Strength

Level 50 - 180 Strength

Level 60 - 210 Strength

Level 70 - 250 Strength

3. SP Guide - How to build your skills?

I'll explain what each skill does before giving you a list on where to spend your SP.

Improving HP Recovery : This turns your base 10 HP recovery every 10 sec. to a maximum of 60 HP per 10 sec.

Improving HP Max Increase : This will make your HP grow more each level. Example : It would increase 10 points per level, now it might increase up to 50-100.

Endure : This allows you to gain HP while hanging on ropes or ladders, first, at every 30 sec., to a maximum of (amount achieved by Improving HP recovery) HP per 10 sec.(same as standing on the ground by the way).

Iron Body : This increases your Weapon Defense for some time. Since monsters don't use weapons, at least you won't see them wearing weapons for a while, think of it as the damage of being ran by monsters, or ranged attacks such as Nependeaths' seed spitting.

Power Strike : The main attacking skill for Warriors/Fighters/Spearmen/Pages, whatever you are. Uses a small amount(You will find it quite expensive first off, but you'll realize it's cheap later) of MP to deal a devastating blow(not that devastating at the beggining, but even so devastating) to your foes.

Slash Blast : The second skill for Warrior/Fighter/Spearman/Page.Uses a small amount of HP and MP to deal an attack that pierces trough your enemy skins and hits those near or behind him, hitting up to 6 enemies.

Now, to the first SP Guide.

Level 10 - 1 HP Recovery
Level 11 - 3 HP Recovery
Level 12 - 1 HP Recovery, 2 Max Hp Increase
Level 13 - 3 Max Hp Increase
Level 14 - 3 Max HP Increase
Level 15 - 2 Max Hp Increase, 1 Power Strike

From here on, you'll have to choose wheter, you're maxing Power Strike, to which I'll refer as PS from now on or Slash Blast, to which I'll refer as SB from now on.

Level 16 - 3 PS/SB
Level 17 - 3 PS/SB
Level 18 - 3 PS/SB
Level 19 - Save 3 SP
Level 20 - Save 3 SP
Level 21 - 9 PS/SB
Level 22 - 1 PS(20) 2SB(depends on which you chose to max first) OR 2 SB(20) 1 PS
Level 23 - 3 PS/SB
Level 24 - 3 PS/SB
Level 25 - 3 PS/SB
Level 26 - 3 PS/SB
Level 27 - 3 PS/SB
Level 28 - 3 PS(20)/SB(20)
Level 29 - 2 HP Recovery, 1 Endure
Level 30 - 2 Endure

This is a guide that goes for attacking skills, which might take you to a fast leveling to level 30.

This is my brother guide, which he made based on mine, then made changes after Max HP Increase.

Level 10 - 1 HP Recovery
Level 11 - 3 HP Recovery
Level 12 - 1 HP Recovery, 2 Max HP Increase
Level 13 - 3 Max Hp Increase
Level 14 - 3 Max Hp Increase
Level 15 - 2 Max Hp Increase, 1 Power Strike
Level 16 - 3 PS
Level 17 - 3 PS
Level 18 - 3 PS
Level 19 - 3 SB
Level 20 - 3 SB
Level 21 - 3 SB
Level 22 - 1 SB, 2 Endure
Level 23 - 1 Endure
Level 24 - 3 Iron Body
Level 25 - 3 Iron Body
Level 26 - 3 Iron Body
Level 27 - 2 Iron Body, 1 Power Strike or 1 Slash Blast (you'll max the other one in the early 2nd Job)
Level 28 - 3 PS/SB
Level 29 - 3 PS/SB
Level 30 - 3 PS/SB

This ends your Warrior life with:

5 HP Recovery
10 MaxHp Increase
3 Endure

Second Job Information :

Mastery - This should be raised to level 19 or 20 before you start bringing up any other skills.
The increased minimum damage and accuracy is very important.

Final Attack - This is a good choice if you like to fight powerful monsters with Power Strike or Slash Blast instead of normal hitting. It lets you land an extra attack right after using a skill attack (Power Strike or Slash Blast) without using any MP. However,it can hurt you if you don't know how to use it. Because a Final Attack takes less time to use than a normal attack, it may hit the enemy before it recovers from the first knockback. This results in a failure to knockback the enemy with the Final Attack, even if you do sufficient damage. Against slow enemies such as Stone Golems, this is not a big problem. On the other hand, a normal speed monster may hit you before you kill/knockback with a third hit, and a pepe could even avoid your attack if it is lucky enough. To get around this problem, either fight monsters that you will almost
always kill in 1-2 hits.

Booster - This is a very important skill if you use two-handed axes. The reason for this is because two-handed axes are the slowest of all weapons available to the Fighter. However, adding points increases the duration and decreases HP/MP cost without making the weapon any faster. For this reason, you only need 5-6 points to start off with, and can add more later. At level 6, it costs 24 HP/MP and lasts for 60 seconds. This skill should probably be taken second or third if you use two-handed axes, and any time you want for other weapons.

Rage - This is an extremely useful skill. Once you raise it to level 19-20, it adds 10 Attack Power, which is like having a sparta stronger than a doombringer, which is what having
a weapon 10 levels higher means. After using Iron Body, the defense penalty is completely negated. After applying multipliers from Power Strike and Slash Blast, this can easily raise your damage by a few hundred per hit. This would make a good second skill if you don't mind spending the extra MP on it. It costs 20 MP for 160 seconds at level 20.

Power Guard - This is a powerful defensive skill. When you are hit with a touch attack(when you are ran or hitten by monsters), it reduces the damage done to you by a certain percent and also does that amount of damage to the monster. For example, an attack that would normally do 100 damage to you would do only 60 to you with level 30 Power Guard, and would also do 40
damage to the monster. However, it has a fairly high MP cost and short duration compared with
other Fighter spells. This skill will reduce the damage you take by a lot, but also eats up MP pretty quickly and has to be recast often. It's up to you to decide when the HP it saves you is worth the MP and repeated casting.

4. Training Guide, I told you what to add, but how are you going to
earn these points?
______________________________________________________________________
Levels 1-10 : Snails, Orange Mushrooms, Slimes and Snails.
______________________________________________________________________
Levels 10-15 : Slimes are your better choice here.
______________________________________________________________________
Levels 15-20 : Slimes are still a good choice, tough you'll start getting attack skills here so Pig Beach
______________________________________________________________________
Levels 20-25 :
Victoria Island :
Pigs are your paradise, and I actually had much fun there with my good warrior partner, with who I kept fighting to see who would level faster, and by the way, having a friend of your level might heat you up to making a lot of leveling so you outlevel him, or just to reach his level.
Ossyria : At Aqualand, several sealife are weak and you may want to try this place though I wouldn’t recommend.
_______________________________________________________________________
Levels 25-30 :
Victoria Island :
Warriors aren't much appreciated at Party Quest, mostly known as PQ, but from now on, you can handle Ligators finely, as well as Curse Eyes and King Slime, Neckis are a pain in the ass so just leave them to the mages/sins/archers. Your other alternative are hunting octopuses at Sleepywood's Hidden Streets, check http://www.hidden-street.net/maps/hiddenstreet.php again for moreinfo on where you could go, pigs are still a wonderful choice, or, if you have a good weapon, or by level 28 or so, with a normal weapon you can go Wild Boars, Ossyria : If you don't like Wild Boars you can kill Jr. Sentinels at 20th floor of Orbis Tower or some sealife at Aqualand (don't forget Air Bubbles)
______________________________________________________________________
Levels 30-35 : Congratz, you now are a fighter, or at least I hope you are if you're reading this guide. Victoria Island :
Your reward is, more wildboars, really, this is the only thing you should fight.
Ossyria :Jr. Sentinels are still an option for wild boars and sealife at Aqualand might be easier now.
______________________________________________________________________
Levels 35-40 : Well, now you are where most warriors lose their fun in Maple, but please try not do it yourself.You can still fight wildboars here, but you might be sick of them by now..., if you are a Shield bearer you might want to move to fireboars ASAP, but being a two-handed
weapon wielder, it'll be more profitable to remain in Wild Boars until level 38 or so. {An option for fireboars is Jr. Cats, in Orbis, as well as leattys, tough these damage you higher, the cats are usually called kitties, and there are three types of them, you might want to fight Jr. Lioners, the
yellow ones, since they drop warrior equipment, Jr. Cellions are the red ones, they're good for getting flaming feathers, tough lioners got them as well, but with a smaller drop rate, the third ones are Jr. Grupins, though due to the high number of fire mages around,(they're weak
against fire as cellions are against Ice and Lioners against Lighting), that place is usually crowded}.

BUT...NOW WE HAVE LUDI PQ!!!
"So what?" you may ask, since we're low level and being warriors most people won't want us on their parties. Yah, that's true you all know, warriors aren't needed in any part of PQ, but one thing to know about Alishar is : Sins and magicians suck against him, bowmen and warriors can pawn it in instants so every once in a while you WILL get in a party, but perhaps it ain't good to get there...yet for I suppose you really ain't strong enough to do much of a difference. We also have Ludi monsters which we can't forget eh? Ratz in Eos are exactly like kitties and boars, and you maybe could try blocktopus, but they're still hard. Teddy bears, duckies and toy soldiers(these will be a challenge)are somewhat like kitties and boars or ratz. In Aqualand you may want to try one of the other sealife though I wouldn't advice you to.I actually don抰 like fish .
__________________________________________________________________
Levels 40-45 : Well, now you are on the upgrading area, the moment where you'll start to get sick of wearing the same set of armor for 10 levels, get used to it tough, there's no alternative other than wearing weaker armor..., Fireboars are still a good choice, tough I prefer Jr.
Kitten at Orbis.

Ludi PQ is easier and more rewarding now, but you can try ratz still, toy soldiers, pandas in the inner clock tower and little or platoon chronos, but not Master ones. Sealife at Aqualand is nice, try out to see what can you kill.
_____________________________________________________________________
Levels 45-50 : Fireboars now are kinda...., loss of time, kitties are wonderful for making money, but if you prefer experience to money, you'll prefer Copper Drakes, tough you'll have a short profit there in the early 45's. Ludi PQ now is a must for fast leveling.Toy soldiers ain't worth anymore, neither pandas too much, but tobos aren't either for they are a bit stronger than you.
There are also trixters along with blocktopuses in EOS which are very fair for leveling, they're the average leveling but rather boring, and boringness spreads easy on this game though I may be wrong, it's just I that find they boring, if you like them...Have fun! The nicer choice I've found is block gollems with a cleric or with a 3-4 people party of people around your level.Of course you can still try block gollems without a cleric but it is almost profitless since you'll be basically paying for the pots you spent and only making a profit for pieces of equipment you find. There're also Sealife, I haven't trained on the monsters for this level yet but you could try since they seem to give average drops and XP.

MapleStory Spearman Guide

* Spears have a stronger stab

* Weapons have long reach

* Fancy 3rd job skills

* Strongest raw attack

* Many multi-hit moves in 3rd job

Questions and Answers

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. I heard that you should only get 19 Mastery, but your guide says 20.

A: Well, Lvl 20 mastery does NOT add damage, but it adds 1 more Accuarcy, which is useful and for 1 acc, you need 1-2 more dex for just 1 more acc

2. Why Iron Body? Why not Iron Wall/Will

A: Iron body is like.. your wearing another armor if maxed. The 40 more defence boost can help you alot, reducing around 20 dmg which can save alot of potions. I Iron Will though adds 20 Def and 20 Mdef. Both are good but, alot of monsters have physical dmg, and you'll probably fighting alot of them. If you want more mdef, just use Ancient Saps,etc

**Note** It's your choice on what you decided to use, both are good, but I perfer Iron Body. If you Do want Iron Will, then that's your choice, just replace the last points to iron will instead of body and your set

3. At level 30-70 I hear people saying putting 5 str each level until 35 to wear your gloves, and then some weird way to distribute your other stat points

A: At level 35, if you do the 4 Str, 1 Dex method, then you will have 120 Str, 5 short of the Dark Briggons, but, you can get +Str, from armors such as White Cross Chainmails to boost your str to wear the gloves

4. Can you redo the stat distribution? Because by level 40, you only have 140 str, but you need 150 to wear Adamantine Knuckles

A: I know the lvl 40 gloves needs 150 str, when I was level 40, I only had 140, but my your level 40 equip should boost your str enough to wear your gloves. Even if you don't get enough str by your things, your next levels will allow you to

5. I wanna go full spear, but theres no spear for lvl 20-30, is polearm the same or does it make difference?

A: Auctually, there is a level 20 spear called "Fish Spear" and Bubblings drop them.For the most part, it doesn't matter if you use a spear or polearm at levels 20-30, anything that you can kill with is fine

The art of MapleStory Hacking

2009-12-22T14:55:00.000+08:00

The art of hacking greatly depends on the degree of knowledge you have on the game you are hacking. As Sun Tzu said “Know yourself and know your enemies and thou shalt win every battle”. If you know how the game works, it'll be a lot easier to find those addresses.

For example: unlimited attack.

We all know that after a certain number of attacks on the same spot you can’t attack anymore. So we make use of that knowledge.

• Search 0 (byte since the number of attacks wont exceed 255) when entering a new map/channel (this is to ensure that the counter is reset).
• Then attack a few times, search increased.
• Repeat until u get a single address (you can also attack, search increased, then change channel and search 0 again. Use your creativity).
• Next thing to do is to freeze it at 0 (actually anything under 100 will do if u have noticed it'll only freeze your attack at 100).

Deep Analysis:
If you have discovered, the unlimited attack counter only starts to increment after the second consecutive hit on the same spot. This means initially it is 0, after 1 hit its still 0, then after the second hit it becomes 1, then 2 on the third hit and so on.
Having known this, you can alternatively search for 0 when first enter map, attack twice, search 1, then attack again, search 2. This will get you the address very fast.

Pointers:
What are pointers? What do they do? How do I find them?

A pointer is a method of accessing a dynamic address (see dynamic address below). Sometimes the address is created on the fly by the game and thus there is no fixed (static) address to specify. The pointer is used to take a known static address and with the help of an offset, to point to the dynamic address. The pointer is "created" by using the VALUE of the pointer aka the static address (not the address itself) plus the offset. This will give you the ADDRESS of the destination.

Pointer finding:
One way is to use Cheat Engine's pointer scanner (this might be slow so we go to the optional method). Let’s use the unlimited attack as example. When you have the address of the hack:

• Add it to the list.
• Then right click and select "see what writes\access\reads to this" and you should have a new window. Now go in game and attack a few times, the list in the window should increase. Now see the last (usually the last) address, its something like: mov ecx, [eax+13] (example). Now what this means is to copy the value pointed to by the ADDRESS eax+13 (in hex) to the ecx register.
• So what does that tells us? The brackets around [eax+13] tell us that it takes the VALUE of the enclosed address, which means the address is actually eax+13. The ADDRESS of the value (the unlimited attack counter) is pointed to by the adding the value of the address pointed to by the eax register plus 13(in hex). Thus the “13” is the offset where the “eax” is the base. If you click on that line and click on more information, you can see the "value needed to find" the address. In this case, that’ll be the eax value.
• Go back to Cheat Engine and do a hex search on the value given and you should get the pointer address, and as for the offset we've already found out, so put them to good use.

Extra Knowledge:
Dynamic addresses are used by programmers to specify an unknown address value, and also for those as-required-addresses. These addresses are usually caused by using a “malloc” (in c programming) or any other memory allocation methods other than declaring them outright. They are useful in the sense that they only consume the required memory space (for unknown length strings) since it can be declared as a varying length char* array, depending on the string size. It can also be used for other various purposes.

Searching for hacks using the right values:

Now we all know there’s byte, 2 bytes, 4 bytes and so on. So how do we know what type and what value to search for?

In the computer world, 32-bit is an adjective used to describe integers, memory addresses or other data units that are at most 32 bits wide, or to describe CPU architectures based on registers, address buses, or data buses of that size. The range of integer values that can be stored in 32 bits is 0 through 4294967295, or −2147483648 through 2147483647 using two's complement encoding. With this knowledge, all we need to know is the value we are searching for, take unlimited attack again for example, its max value is only 100, which falls within the “0 through 4294967295, or −2147483648 through 2147483647” part, however it’s a waste of memory to use 4 bytes to store an integer that maxes at 100.

So, we would expect the programmer to use a smaller size data structure to store it. (Note that I’m only mentioning the positive range)
• Byte : 2^8 numbers = 256 numbers or 0 – 255
• 2 Bytes: 2^16 numbers = 65536 numbers or 0 – 65535 (older games uses the 65535 rule)
• 4 Bytes: 2^32 numbers = 4294967296 numbers or 0 – 4294967295
• 8 Bytes: 2^64 numbers = 18446744073709551616 numbers and so on.
• Float: it’s a decimal capable number, obtained by multiplying a mantissa by a base. It basically handles float-point numbers or what we call decimals.
• Double: A 64 bit decimal capable type, obtained by multiplying a float by an exponent. It’s basically a float as well.
• Text: well its just text, ASCII/Unicode text. It’s also known as a string or char type in programming.
• Array of bytes: This basically allows the search for a portion of the machine language code if you use it carefully; otherwise it’s just a hex search of the value u wanted. An array is a list or perhaps more accurately, a collection of objects or data types.

So now having knowledge of the data types, the unlimited attack would conveniently fall into the Byte category, since its dynamic, meaning its allocated just sufficient memory, so a Byte best fits that.

Finding hacks using the memory view aka using array of bytes. Its one of the most powerful and dependent ways if you know how to accurately use it.

As I have touched on earlier, when a program is being executed, it gets translated to machine language, some like to call it assembly language. Each of the instructions of the assembly language can be represented by a specific hex value:
Some “common” ones
• jne = 74
• je = 75
• jz = 74
• add = 80/81
• and = 80/81
• cmp = 80/81
• sub = 80/81
• or = 80/81/83
• xor = 80/81/83
• test = 84/85
• mov = 88/89/8a/8b/8c/8e
• nop = 90

Each of these hex values represents a single instruction and some instructions can be represented by more than one hex value. So how does that help us find addresses?

Simple take this short piece of code for example (not taken from maple):

00400059 6d - insd
0040005A 20 63 61 - and [ebx+61],ah
0040005D 6e - outsb
0040005E 6e - outsb
0040005F 6f - outsb
00400060 74 20 - je 00400082

note that the statement je 00400082 is the one we are looking for, but we cannot just do a direct search sometimes since it consist of the address 00400082, and if that address changes, the search would fail.

So the trick here is to search for a “static” instructions, those that doesn’t involves hard coded addresses that might change, so if we look up, we can see that all the instruction above the je 00400082 doesn’t have anything hard coded in them and are good to be used as the search string.

What we do now is to copy down the hex codes of all those instructions, i.e. 6d 20 63 61 6e 6e 6e 6f. Now if we are to go to the memory view of Cheat Engine, we can see 2 sections, there’s the section with the instructions and the section (lower half) that shows the memory dump of the process:
• Right click on the lower half and select “search memory”
• Under type, select “[Array of ] byte”
• The range is to narrow down the search, if you know the approximate range then use it, else leave it alone.
• Under the text box u type in the array you’ve just copied “6d 20 63 61 6e 6e 6e 6f” and click “ok”
• You should see the first address of the lower half to point to 00400059, which is the address of the “insd” instructions that you’ve copied. Now scroll down a bit and viola! je 00400082.

This method doesn’t directly search for the address itself; instead it searches for similar instructions around that address, this is useful if you need to find a code for another version of the game, for example, the god mode in oms you know so u can use that to find the god mode address in jms without really knowing the “value” of the god mode (since its mostly likely different as the address pointed to by the je/jne is different).

Note: you can also use addresses after the “je” instruction, as long as its non dynamic. Use your creativity.

Some basic game concepts:
Most games rely on collision detection and vector based positioning to work. This means that all animated items in the game have a vector depicting its respective position on the map or the world. And usually a game event occurs when a “collision” is detected, i.e. when an object touches another. Let’s look at some basic game concepts that had been put to the advantage of hackers.

God mode: When you touch a mob what happens?

1. Calculate hit possibility (decides if the games proceed with steps 2-5)
2. If hit then, reduce hp
3. Flash
4. Knock back
5. Else Miss

Melee god and full god works on point 1, flash god works on point 3, miss hack works on point 5. There are many ways to achieve invulnerability, what I’ve mentioned is a couple of them. Melee god works only for physical collision detected by mob sprite and you. Full god mode works on point 1 in the sense that it nullifies all decisions to proceed to step 2 - 5.

Wall Vac: As we all know, when we walk until the border of a map, we can’t walk anymore or else we’ll “fall” off. Now the graphics itself won’t know of when we reach the edge, so there must be something there to tell the game that the character has reached the edge. The answer: a boundary. Yes most games 2d or 3d have map boundaries to prevent the character from going out-of-bounds. Same as in maplestory, there are 4 boundaries to each map (since the map is rectangular) and these boundaries control the rules of the characters and monsters in it.

By changing the boundaries, we have changed the rules of the map itself and newly spawn monsters will adopt the “latest” rules and thus this result in a vac-like effect when the boundaries of the walls are “compressed” to a point (think Indiana Jones when he get trapped by compressing walls). The reason why “old” monsters didn’t move is that when they spawn (before the wall vac is used) they’ve already been bound to the old wall boundaries. And obviously slopes, platforms, steps, etc have a higher priority over the boundaries since if not all mobs will fall right to the bottom, regardless of platforms. This explains why the monsters will get “stuck” on edges and slopes.

Other vacs: Some other vacs, like DupeVac uses another method. Instead of changing the boundaries of the walls, the vac directly changed each monster’s vector location on the map itself. This method allows the monsters to “overwrite” the rules of collision with platforms and slopes since I suppose the vectors (position of characters and monsters) are given the highest priority.

Registers List:

CF = Carry flag (check if there is any carry over for arimethic operations)
PF = Parity flag (indicate if the bits of an operation is even or odd, 0 for odd, 1 for even)
AF = Adjust flag (Auxiliary Flag - Set on a carry or borrow to the value of the loer order 4 bits)
ZF = Zero flag (bacsially a boolean flag, determines if a conditional jump is executed)
SF = Sign flag (determines the sign, negative or positive)
TP = Trap flag (single step, for 80886 emulation. When TP is enabled, interrupts are trapped.)
IF = Interrupt enable flag (self explanatory)
DF = Direction flag (determines the direction to move through the code (specific to repeat instructions))
OF = Overflow flag (determines if an operation result in an overflow)

All the registers are actually hardware accumulators to temporary store instructions or values for the cpu to process.

EAX (At 000) Dedicated accumulator which is used for all major calculations.
ECX (At 001) The universal loop counter which has a special interpretation for loops.
EDX (At 010) The data register, which is an extension to the accumulator, stores data relevant to the operation applied to the accumulator.
EBX (At 011) Currently used for free storage but was originally used as a pointer in 16-bit mode.
ESP (At 100) Stack pointer. Is used to hold the top address of the stack.
EBP (At 101) Base pointer. Is used to hold the address of the current stack frame. It is also sometimes used as free storage.
ESI (At 110) Source index. Commonly used for string operations. It has a one-byte opcode for loading data from memory to the accumulator.
EDI (At 111) Destination index. Commonly used for string operations. Has a one-byte STOS instruction to write data out of the accumulator.
EIP Instruction pointer. Holds the current instruction address.

Charizard's Ludibrium PQ Guide

2009-12-21T13:44:00.001+08:00

About Ludi PQ
--------------
Well, lets get on. Ludi PQ can be done in Ludibrium , at the 101th floor of Eos TOwer. As this PQ is new in MapleSEA it can sometimes be very crowded once someone gives away a free track. This PQ consists of 10 stages and needs 6 members to enter. Once you are in, before you reach the boss stage, no less then 1 person is allowed to die or dc or you cant do Stage 8.When you reach boss stage, any amount of people is allowed to die except a party leader and a member. If more then 1 person dcs or die during a PQ before boss stage, your leader has to click on the toy soldier to get out and restart the PQ again. PQs in Ludibrium can be done between lvl 35 to 50. Its going to be
fun-filled!

Getting In

Make sure your leader can MC very fast on the Red Sign. Mc actuallys stands for manual click so those of you who plan to be PQ leaders, u have to know the consequences of being a leader in charge of a party as sometimes if you do not have a track to get into pq, you may have to MC all the way. SOmetimes, your hands can become quite tired while MCing or you feel like your finger is breaking. So think twice becoming a party leader.

Most important thing to get in is a track. Most people who become party leaders may not want to mc all the way. Once you have gotton a track, keep /finding the person till it reaches the last stage , A crack in the Wall. At this stage, your leader should starting Mcing. Gently encourage your leader and if you are lucky you may get into PQ.

Don't ever use an AC to get into PQ! AC is a short form of Auto-Click. As maple story now has a nProtect, GameGuard,most people cant use AC anymore. But, some people still can. Why is that so? It is believed that people either change the profile of the GameGuard so they can use hacks OR it could be that people uses ByPass to hack.So, never use hacks in maplestory or even AC. They are hacks and are easily seen by people. YOu may end up being reported and banned from playing maple story for a long period of time. So beware if you are going to use AC.

Stage 1
-------
THis stage consists of fighting. Once you successfully get into PQ, go up and immediately start fighting the Ratz and Dirty Ratz. All of them should drop a pass. Hand them to your leader before you enter stage 2. You need 25 passes to finish this stage so if your leader takes too long to go to where you are to take the passes, keep it with you as if it is left on the ground for too long, it will disappear, making the PQ a failaure.Once you cleared the stage,the leader should talk to the balloon in this stage. Enter the portal to stage 2 once you see the word Clear! on your screen.

Stage 2
-------
This stage is all about hitting boxes and getting passes from them. There are no monsters in here. Hit all the boxes in this stage except the 2nd box. Once you have gotton all the passes, hand them to your leader and he/she will hit the 2nd box and you will all be teleported to another stage where you have to hit even more boxes. This stage is still Stage 2,but called Tower's Trap. Once you have hit every single box in this stage, go to the top and leave Tower's
Trap by using the portal. Hand your leader the passes and he will talk to the balloon. Once you have cleared this stage, enter the portal to stage 3.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 3
--------
When you enter this stage, all of you should go down wards and hit the boxes to summon Bloctopus. Kill them, collect its passes and go up to fight the rest of the remaining bloctopus and then hand all the passes to your leader. You need 32 passes to clear this stage. Once you are done, your leader will click the ballon in this stage. Then go towards the portal to Stage 4.

Once you enter this stage, you will see some dark holes to enter and fight some monsters. The top 2 portals are for mages as the monsters inside are weak to magic attack. The last 3 portals below are weak to phisical attacks. One of the portals weak to Phisical attacks should have 2 monsters inside. WHen you enter either one of these holes, you will be at a place called Tower of Darkness(i think so).When you have finished killing the monsters inside, take its pass and grope about in the darkness for the ladder and get out. Mark the portals you have already been in, with 10 messos or an item so that no one will go into the same portal twice. When you are
done, hand all your passes to your leader and he/she will click the balloon in this
stage. Then, enter the portal to Stage 5.

============================
0. GET THE RIGHT START
============================

To get the right start you have to think ahead, decide which job you will take before creating your character. To make this FAQ compact, job descriptions are not included. Refer to the official Maple Story website for job information and skills.

Warriors will level fast as Beginners, but in later levels (15-27 approx)
Warriors level up slower than other jobs.

Thieves will level normally as Beginners, but in later levels (15-27 approx)
Thieves level-up slower than other jobs (unless they have good stars).

Bowmen will level normally as Beginners.

Magicians will level slowly as Beginners, but after becoming a Magician and learning a few skills (claw lv 9 for example) they will level quite fast. Magicians are quite powerful in the first and most of the second job, however in the third job, I've heard that the other classes are stronger

============================
1. YOUR CHARACTER
============================

For each account, three characters can be made in each server. These characters share a common storage (or bank). And so items and mesos (money) can be safely transferred from character to character, if the characters are in the same server.

Each server has the same maps and monsters, but sometimes they have different events (Check the website for notices). Unfortunately a character created in one server cannot exist in another server. However each server usually has 20 Channels each, and your character can easily switch from channel to channel within the same server.

If you want to delete a character, you have to remember the birthday that you put in you sign-up. To change your password, you need your last name.

How Do You Make A Girl Char?
----------------------------
Your character will be the same gender as what you put in your sign-up. It can't be changed.

----------------------------
1.1 Statistics
----------------------------
TIP - It is important to know which stats to increase. Otherwise, you may find that you don't have the required statistics to wear your armour or weapons in the HIGHER LEVELS. I made this mistake and wasn't able to wear my proper armour at level 20 because I didn't have enough STR as a Warrior. And at level 30 I didn't have enough LUK as a Bandit to wear my dagger.

Which Stats For Job Advancement?
----------------------------
Warrior level 10 35 STR
Thief level 10 25 DEX
Bowman level 10 25 DEX
Magician level 8 20 INT

Which Stats For Later?
----------------------------
Warrior STR and DEX (more STR)
Thief LUK and DEX (more LUK) **
Bowman DEX and STR (much more DEX)
Magician INT and LUK (much more INT)

Each job only needs to apply Ability Points (AP) to only two types of Abilities as shown above. For example, if you are a Warrior, don't place any AP into LUK or INT.

Magicians, if you keep missing monsters, do not put any AP into DEX,put it into INT to increase your accuracy.

Thieves do not need strength, unless they are STR Bandits. LUK Bandits use daggers that require no STR, while STR Bandits use daggers that require a small amount of STR. If you are unsure, you can put 10 points into STR by level 20 and see if you like being a STR Bandit.

AP can also be used to increase HP and MP. I suggest not doing this. HP and MP will increase with every level-up without you adding AP to it.

Rolling The Stats Die
----------------------------
TIP - Before creating your character, make sure it has good stats. If it hasn't got stats that you are pleased with, you can click on the red die to get new stats.

Good stats would have 4 or 5 in the abilities that your job doesn't need. But if you can't get good stats, it's OK. But since you can roll the die as many times as you like, you may as well try a few times.

============================
2 PLAYING THE GAME
============================
----------------------------
2.1 Basic controls
----------------------------

Switching Channels Press Menu, Change Channels Chat Box Make sure you press the little '+' sign at the bottom centre of your screen to see what has been said more clearly Healing Find a safe place and stand still for awhile Recovering MP MP regenerates automatically. Pick up items Press Z World Map Press W Inventory Press I Statistics (AP) Press S

For more controls click on your Key Settings at the bottom right of screen. My favourite control is F5.
----------------------------
2.2 First Few Steps
----------------------------

In the first screen, you will see two Non-Player Characters (NPCs). Talk to Heena, she will explain BASIC MOVEMENT. She will ask you to do something, say YES.

This is a quest, you don't have to complete it, but if you do, you will be rewarded. In this case, the reward will be 1 experience point. It never hurts to say YES to a quest so always say YES.

If you accepted the quest, don't press up at the portal (the place with the glowing light from the ground). Talk to Sera, she will give you a mirror. Then go talk to Heena, she will take you to the next screen/map.

In the 2nd screen, a creepy looking guy called Roger will take away some of your health! Press I to open your Inventory, click the USE tab, then double-click the Apple. Talk to Roger again, he'll give you 3 Red Potions. You can HotKey the potions by dragging them from your Inventory into one of your Quick Slot keys (bottom right corner of your screen).

In the 3rd screen there's another simple quest. In the 4th screen talk to Peter, he'll give you some experience.

Where Did You Get That Hat?
----------------------------
Soon you will see Maria, she'll give you an easy quest, if you complete her quest she'll give you a hat (a bandana or skullcap).

Where Did You Get That Weapon?
----------------------------
Talk to Biggs in South Perry, You'll need 30 Blue Snail Shells and 10 Orange Mushroom Caps. If you complete this quest, you will receive a lv 5 Razor, or a lv 8 Fruits Dagger.

For Orange Mushroom Caps, go to the map to the right side of Amherst. At the top centre of this map you will be able to kill the Orange Mushrooms easily by standing on the centre platform, where you can attack the Mushrooms without being hit by them. Magicians can skip this quest if it is too hard.

----------------------------
2.3 Items
----------------------------

Pick up everything especially mesos, ores, potions, armor and weapons. Items such as Snail Shells, Mushroom Spores and Mushroom Caps can be sold to any store for mesos. Arrows are worth 0 mesos to stores, so you may as well pick them up and give them to an archer later when you reach Victoria Island.

What Are Ores For?
----------------------------
Ores are used in creating Jewels or metal Plates, which are used to create items later in the game. Keep all the ores you find and talk to the NPCs in Victoria Island to find out which ores you will need later to make items. All other ores you may either keep or sell to other players.

Picking Up Items
----------------------------
When you kill a monster, YOU are the only person who can pick up the items that the monster drops after it dies. If you don't pick up the items after about 10 seconds, ANYBODY may pick up the items. And if you drop an item from your Inventory, anybody can pick it up and you shouldn't expect to get it back.

When two or more people help kill a monster, usually the person who killed it the most is allowed to pick up the items. The other person won't be able to pick up the item unless it has been left there for about 10 seconds.

Looting
----------------------------
When you see someone busily killing monsters and not picking up their items for a long time, after about 10 seconds, anyone can pick up those items, looting is when someone else picks up those items.

Looting is ok when a person is only interested in gaining exp. and not money. If you never see them picking up items, even after you have picked up a few of their items, then there is no problem. If you start picking up some items and the person killing, also begins picking up the items, then you should stop, and let them get their items.

Once, a Beginner accused me of looting from her when she helped me kill a monster. I didn't loot from her, the item belonged to me. If she had killed the monster completely, then I wouldn't have been able to pick up the item so soon after the monster died, if the item had belonged to her... NOOB

How Much Are Screws? (as of July 2005)
----------------------------
These prices are from what I have seen in Scania, they are the usual amount other players in Victoria Island are willing to pay for these items. NOTE: The prices may change.

Ores 1k (1000 mesos).
Steel Ores 1k, sometimes 1.5k or 2k.
Diamond Ores 7k sometimes 3k sometimes 10k
Gold Ores 10k
Black Crystal Ores (BC) 13k sometimes 15k
Screws 1.5 - 2k each
Leather 150 - 200 mesos each

Item Library
----------------------------
The Item Library on the official websites don't really cut it. For a detailed item, monster, quest and map library, visit www.hidden-street.net

----------------------------
2.4 Hunting
----------------------------

Beginners that plan to become Magicians should hunt in the Snail Hunting Ground I or II on Maple island, this map is full of Green and Blue Snails. Probably best to stay here until you reach level 8. You can do Maria's Hat quest and then come back to this map to level up. I suggest not doing Biggs quest because it will take a long time to collect the items for someone so physically weak. But of course if you really want to do it, no problem.

If you find it hard to level-up, keep killing those Green and Blue Snails.

Monsters In Maple Island
----------------------------
Name HP EXP. Advice
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Green Snails 8 3 Great for Beginners and Magicians
Blue Snails 15 4 Great for Everyone
Shroom 20 5 Great for Everyone
Red Snails 45 8 Beginner Magicians shouldn't waste
time on these
Orange Mushrooms 80 15 These are tough for Beginners,
you'll kill 4 Blue Snails faster
for MORE exp. AND THEY MOVE FAST.
You'll find a lot of these to the
right of Amherst

Other Easy Monsters In Victoria Island
----------------------------
Name HP EXP. Advice
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stump 65 8 Easier to just kill 2 Blue Snails,
(unless you can kill in 3-5 shots
it's not worth going for)
Slime 50 10 They move fast
Pig 75 15 They move fast
Dark stump 250 18 They move slow
Ribbon Pig 120 20 They move fast

Kill Stealing
----------------------------
Kill Stealing (KS or ksing) is when someone weak is trying to kill a monster to gain exp. and a stronger player will come and kill it and steal exp. It's not such a problem in Maple Island because everyone is a Beginner, so this is a good place to train.

============================
3. VICTORIA ISLAND
============================

You can leave Maple Island anytime you like. You'll need 150 mesos for the ship ride from South Perry. When you leave you won't be able to come back.

Maple Island is a nice place to level-up. I suggest leveling here or near Lith Harbour until you are ready for your job advancement. Places near Henesys are also good for Beginners to train.

I suggest not exploring the other towns while you are a Beginner and a newbie, go level up and get a job first, then go exploring. (Beginners wanting to become Magicians will not train as fast near Perion, Ellinia or Kerning, unless they stick to Green snails, because Slimes(50HP) and
Stumps(65HP) take forever to kill when you are doing 1-3 damage).

When you die, if you have a job, you'll lose about 5-10% exp. and you'll be transported to the nearest Town. If you have your Mini Map extended you'll be able to see an icon. The icon represents the nearest town.

Talk to every NPC that you see, this way you will probably find out if they are useful to you. For example some NPCs synthesize items, refine ores, store things, process wood, create screws, create arrows or give quests.

-----------------------------------------------------------
WARNING TO BEGINNERS IN LITH HARBOUR and ELLINIA
-----------------------------------------------------------
How Do You Get Out Of Here? What Is This Place?
----------------------------
Do not take a ride in the black VIP TAXI to the Ant Tunnel. You will end up in a place not for Beginners at all. When you die (There's no way you won't die), you'll find yourself in Sleepywood, the town in the Dungeon. To get out of here, you'll have to buy a Return Scroll to Lith Harbour from someone for 500 - 1000 meso. Even if someone is nice enough to give you a scroll for free, you'll have wasted 1000 mesos on the VIP TAXI ... DONT TAKE THE TAXI. I don't know why they allow Beginners to have a discount on this Taxi, it just means a lot of confusion.

----------------------------
3.1 First Job Advancement: Where Do You Go?
----------------------------

After you have trained to the required level, talk to the ticket guy in Lith Harbour or a white Taxi in another town, he will take you to the town you need to go to, for 80 - 120 mesos (very cheap discount price for Beginners only).

---Warriors--- at Perion, go to the very top of the map and enter the portal talk to the NPC Dances with Balrog.

---Thieves--- at Kerning City, enter the Jazz Bar in the centre of the map, go down the ladder and talk to the NPC Dark Road.

---Bowmen--- at Henesys, near the centre of the map, enter the park and go to the far right and enter the building to talk to the NPC Athena Pierce.

---Magicians--- at Ellinia, go to the very top and enter the portal and talk to the NPC Grendel the Really Old.

Buying Weapons And Clothes: Can Someone Spare 3k?
----------------------------
When you make your job advancement, you should buy new armour in your home town. By this level, you will probably not have enough mesos to buy everything you want, so deal with it :/ you have a job, go earn the money!

Firstly buy a new weapon, then topwear and bottomwear, if you have enough mesos, buy a hat and then shoes. If you can't afford everything, don't worry, you really only need the new weapon. If you can't afford that, you probably didn't pick up all the mesos that your monsters dropped did you? Well in that case, you've just got to fight some more monsters with what you have until you have enough mesos.

Don't Beg. You are a Beginner (or were), of course you're poor! You have to work at your job to become rich. This game can be challenging, but it's not too hard, so don't be LAZY go hunt some monsters to find some money and gain exp. And while you're at it meet some players and have fun.

How Should I Spend My Skill Points?

TIP - By the time you reach your second job advancement, you will not have received enough Skill Points (SP) to master all the skills available to you. So, you'll have to spend those points wisely. Find an In-Depth FAQ for your job to find out how to spend your SP.

How Do You Use Skills?
----------------------------
Press K to spend your skill point. If you use your Skill Point on a skill that uses MP, drag the Icon into one of your Hot Keys, or open your Key Settings and drag it into there.

How Do You Throw Stars?
----------------------------
You must be a Thief and you need to wear a Claw. The first claw is called a Garnier and can be bought from the Kerning City Weapon Store. Buy some Subi Throwing stars from the guy selling armour. Now you can throw stars using your attack button.

If you are too close to a monster, you will punch it instead of throwing a star at it (I find this annoying). Punching will do very little damage.

============================
4. PARTIES
============================
----------------------------
4.1 Creating Parties
----------------------------

Once you get a job, you will be able to create a party.
- Press R
- click on the 'Party' tab
- click 'Create'
- Right-Click on a person
- Select 'View Info'
- Click 'Invite Party' once

There can be up to 6 people in a party. To leave your party, click Leave. You will not be able to invite someone who is already in a party. They will have to leave their party before joining yours.

Party Chat
----------------------------
When you are in a party, press 2 to talk to members in you party. The chat text will appear in pink. You will be able to talk to members that are in different maps or channels. Press 1 to talk to everyone again.

----------------------------
4.2 Party Experience
----------------------------

Generally:
- Experience is shared among all party members that are in the same map.
- If you kill a monster you will get more exp. than the other party members will get for that kill.
- Higher level members will receive more exp than the lower level members.

In parties, mesos are shared but items are not. Items can be picked up by anyone in a party.
Pan2005: Mesos In A Party - For 2 Members --> 60% For Collector & 40% For Other Member. For more than 2, the ratio will be a bit different, but still, the Collector will be getting most.

One problem with parties is who gets to keep that rare piece of armour worth 50k? The person who killed the monster that dropped it? Sure, but what if they helped you kill it? I was once in a party where I completely killed the monster that dropped the rare item and I managed to pick up the item too, but the other party member begged me if they could have it. I personally don't like parties, but they are useful sometimes. You don't need to join parties to make friends though, just start talking to people.

Party Experience Example 1
----------------------------
Let’s say we have a 2-person party with 2 lv 10 players. Slimes give 10 exp. if you kill them completely by yourself. In a party if you kill a Slime, you'll get something like 6 exp. while the other member in the party will get 4 exp.

Party Experience Example 2
----------------------------
Another 2-person party, 1 person lv 35 the other lv 8. If the lv 35 kills a Green Mushroom, they will get the entire 26 exp. points and the lv 8 will get 0 exp. If the lv 35 kills a Slime, they get 9 exp. and the lv 8 will get 1 exp.

============================
5. GENERAL TIPS
============================
----------------------------
5.1 Sleepywood, Ant Tunnel, Ossyria And Florina Beach
----------------------------

Sleepywood is in the Dungeon, the easiest way is to walk from Henesys. But I recommend being level 17-20 before visiting. Make sure you have a Return Scroll to Henesys or some other town before you go, just incase you find the place too tough for you to get out again. Sleepywood Return Scrolls can be bought in the Sauna in the Hotel in Sleepywood.

To walk to Sleepywood from Henesys, take the top right portal at Henesys to get onto Warning Street. Keep traveling right, and avoid the dangerous monsters at the bottom of those pits. Eventually you'll find Luke the Security Guy, take the portal that he's standing near. You'll enter a Forest, here the top portal will take you towards Kerning City and Perion, while the middle portal will be Sleepywood. Don't take the bottom portal unless you are lv 25+ because there are Curse Eyes here. Also, the bottom portal is one of those tricky portals, like a Pig Beach, where the only way to get back, is to travel through the map and reach another portal.

Ant Tunnel is just right of Sleepywood. The monsters are tough here for low level players.

Ossyria is another place and the website suggests that you be lv 35, this is a good guideline. But if you want to visit out of curiosity I recommend lv 25+, but the monsters will be tough! You can go there from Ellinia, it cost 5k and make sure you have 5k to get back. Bring lots of potions to go exploring. Since MP pots are slightly cheaper in Ellinia, don't forget to stock-up before leaving to Ossy.

Tip from lilkrndude146: The armour and weapon shop in El Nath (a town in Ossyria) is expensive for some items. You'll probably do better buying the items off other players back in Victoria Island. Hopefully by the time you reach the levels to be buying this stuff, you'll have some experience in buying and trading items off other players (at sensible prices).

Florina Beach is a little island with tough monsters. It cost 1k to get there from Lith Harbour. You'll need 1k to get back.

----------------------------
5.2 Hunting Effectively
----------------------------

If you like fighting in crowded places where the monsters re-spawn quickly, fight monsters that only need 1-2 shots to kill (maybe 3). If you take any longer you'll become surrounded by too many monsters.

If you like less crowded places, where there's only you or one other person, there will be less monsters. This will mean more walking, but you can kill the monsters slower, so go for monsters that die in 2-4 shots. - Warriors and Bandit Thieves may like to kill monsters that take up to 6 shots.

To level-up faster, use potions (pots). Less waiting will mean more killing and more exp. Make sure you pick up all your items and mesos if you can't afford pots. On the other hand, if you're using pots up like crazy, and you don't seem to be making a profit, you're fighting the wrong monsters (or you're just crap :P) - MP pots are slightly cheaper in Ellinia.

----------------------------
5.3 Return Scrolls: Selling All Town Scrolls 1k
----------------------------

Return Scrolls, are great and are much cheaper than a Taxi (unless you're still a Beginner). After getting your first job, and acquiring some money, walk around Victoria Island and visit all the towns and buy a Return scroll from each town. On the way, you can explore, try to find hidden portals and kill a few new monsters.

Return Scrolls cost 500 mesos at shops. And they can be used in almost all maps, so they are more convenient than taxis.

Taxis are not available in Sleepywood. So buy a Return Scroll before visiting, otherwise you may have to pay 1k to buy one off someone. I used to always be in Sleepywood selling Return Scrolls for 1k =) .

----------------------------
5.4 Fame: What Is Fame For?
----------------------------

Fame is used for higher levels. There is a quest at level 30 that requires 10 fame, and some high-level armour requires a certain amount of fame to wear. If you're poor, don't bother trying to buy fame, you don't need it yet. Save your money for armour or potions.

from Pan2005: The kinds of equipment that use fame are usually black or are called Dark 'something'.

You can't fame someone until you're lv 15. You can only use your fame once a day. And you can only fame the same person once a month.

Higher-level players like to buy fame. They may offer you 1 - 6k for your fame. If you need money, sell your fame. Currently the normal price for fame is 5k. People may also offer items for fame such as 20 leathers or 4 ores.

To fame someone for items or money, right-click them and select 'View Info', then press 'Request Trade'. Keep the Info box open. When they accept your trade, and agree to give you the money or items for your fame, you click the Orange Up Arrow to increase their fame, while the trade box is still open. Then they will give you your money. Press the Orange 'Trade' button to accept their money or items

Fame nor LUK has nothing to do with rare item drops.

----------------------------
5.5 Trading
----------------------------

To request a trade with someone right-click them and View Info, click on 'Request Trade'.

If someone requests a Trade with you, be nice and say 'Hi' or 'Hello'. Responding with 'Yes?' or 'What?' just seems rude to me.

Good places to buy or sell items are at towns. The best town for this is Perion. Visit Perion Channel 1 for the biggest market, here it may be hard to click on people, so instead type '/trade username' to trade with someone.

Visit Perion Channel 1 and just watch everybody trade. Sometimes you'll see the prices of various items. Occasionally these prices will be over the top. But just watch for a few minutes while you regain your health and you will learn alot about trading and prices. It's not a bad idea to do this every now and again after you reach lv 30. If Perion Channel 1 is too full, try
Channel 2.

============================
6 QUEST ADVICE
============================

After you've done these quests, there are plenty more which are only accessible by reaching a certain level. Visit www.maplesea.com for more quests (shows more quests than mapleglobal).

Strangely, all these quests are pretty hard for the level that you can begin them at, except John's quest. For all the others, you'll have to level-up alot more to finish them without help. You'll probably be lv 25+ when you finish all of them... :/

----------------------------
6.1 Quests For Beginners
----------------------------

Fixing Blackbull's House
----------------------------
Talk to Blackbull in Perion.

Items Needed: 30 Branches, 50 Firewoods.

Prize: lv 15 Steel Shield (most times) or a lv 25 Triangular Shield.

Branches will be easy to get from Stumps. Firewood can be found from Axe Stumps and Dark Axe Stumps. Don't go for the Dark Axe Stumps they have 550 HP. If you're a warrior, try this quest at lv 14, so that you have a shield for lv 15. All other classes, don't worry about this quest until you can kill Axe Stumps easily.

The shields can only be used by Warriors. If you're not a warrior, you can sell the lv 15 shield to a shop for 3k. The lv 25 shield should be sold to a warrior because it can't be bought from any store in Victoria Island.

----------------------------
6.2 Quests For Level 15+
----------------------------

Maya and the Weird Medicine
----------------------------
Talk to Maya in the Mushroom House in Henesys

Needed: 20 Octo Legs, 50 Squishy Liquids, 50 Leaves, 40 Charms of Undead

Prize: level 25 Brown Bamboo Hat

Since you can't use the prize until lv 25, you can take your time.

You'll need to travel a lot for this quest, Maya will want you to get Medicine by talking to Teo in Lith Harbour, He'll tell you to go see someone else and so on ... :/ Octos are found near Kerning City, Leaves are dropped by Dark Stumps found near Perion, Squishy Liquid dropped by Slimes. Charms of Undead are dropped by Undead Mushrooms found in the Ant Tunnel in the Dungeon, they are not easy to kill by low-level players.

Luke the Security Guy
----------------------------
Talk to Luke at the Entrance to the Dungeon from Henesys.

Items Needed: 1 Bowl of Salad, 10 Stirge Wings, 100 Jr. Necki Skins

Prize: 1 Refined Jewel at random (Diamond if you're lucky)

This quest is tough! There is no time limit on quests. Most Magicians, Thieves, Bowmen can't hit the Jr. Necki until lv 27+. Warriors will have to wait even longer.

Jr Neckis are little green snakes, found in the Subway, Sewer, and in some parts of the Dungeon. Stirges are purple bats found in the Subway and Deep Ant Tunnel. Bowl of Salad can be bought (A Use Item) from the 24Hr Shop in the Deep Ant Tunnel.

John's Pink Flower Basket
----------------------------
Talk to John in Lith Harbour

Items Needed: at least 10 Pink Viola Flowers

Prize: 30 Screws

This is the first of MANY jumping quests. If you can become good at this quest, you'll be able to do all the other jumping quests. So have patience and practice a lot, when you get tired, take a break, fight some monsters, then practice some more. Pink Viola's can't be traded.

Buy a couple of Return Scrolls to Lith Harbour at Lith Harbour. Go to Sleepywood, then buy some Sleepywood Return Scrolls from the Sauna and talk to the Mysterious Statue. After getting the flowers (double-click on them), scroll back to Lith, give the flowers to John. If you didn't get 10 flowers, scroll back to Sleepywood and do it again. NOTE: buying the Scrolls is optional, you can walk if you're too tight!

After you complete the quest, you can go to the Mysterious Statue and do the jumping quest again and again. Each time you reach the flowers you'll randomly receive 2 mineral ores (no gold).

When you reach lv 30, you'll no longer be able to receive the 2 ores from the Forest of Patience Stages 1 & 2. You'll have to do John's lv 30 quest instead, where you'll do Stages 3 & 4.

Nella and Kerning City Citizen's Requests
----------------------------
Talk to Nella in Kerning City

Request 1: 1000 Mesos, 50 Green Mushroom Caps, 50 Bubbling's Huge Bubbles
Request 2: 5 Processed Woods, 5 Screws
Request 3: 100 Octopus Legs, 1 Pure Water.

Prize 1: 50 Lemons
Prize 2: 100 Cakes
Prize 3: level 20 Gloves for your job

Bubblings are in the Subway in Kerning City. The Bubblings may be difficult to kill. Try this quest at lv 19, maybe even lv 25.

When you complete the first request, talk to Nella repeatedly, don't leave until she gives you the second request. (Just keep clicking on her, don't listen to her lies!)

Talk to JM From Tha Streetz and select 'Create Materials' to find out how to make Processed Wood and Screws. You probably won't have the materials to make screws, so either do John's Flower Quest to get 30 screws, or buy them off people for 1.5k or 2k each.

Talk to Nella repeatedly after completing the second request.

Pure Water can be bought at Sleepywood or 24Hr Shop in the Ant Tunnel. Octos can be found at both Kerning City Construction Sites and near the Kerning City Entrance to the Dungeon Forest.
When you reach lv 25, Nella will have 3 more requests for you.

MapleStory Hints & Tips

2009-12-18T14:13:00.001+08:00

The best way of gaining experience at the start of Maple Island is by fighting the Shrooms and the Orange Mushrooms, while In Victoria Island, the Slimes and the Stumps.

In improving your accuracy in hitting your enemies, you should raise your DEX if you are a warrior, bowman or a thief. Increase your INT and LUK if you are a magician.

When you are low on Hit Points, find a safe place where you can “rest” and restore your health back by being stationary for a few seconds. In this way, you can avoid losing 10% of your experience points should you “die” due to loss of HP. But you are exempted from this if you are still a beginner.

Each time you move up a level, you will receive 5 Ability Points. You can use these to increase your HP, MP, STR, DEX, INT or LUK. It is suggested, however, that you use your Ability Points only for your STR, DEX, INT or LUK since your HP and MP increases automatically as you level up.

Monsters may drop a common item like a snail shell or it may also drop a rare item like an axe. Some even drop two different kinds of ores – a jewel and a mineral ore. (IMAGE: MISCELLANEOUS>"ORES")

Pick up and store a lot of ores which you may find in the game. These are extremely rare and are needed in upgrading your armor and weapons.

You can check if you are successful in picking up an item or killing an enemy for experience points by looking at the confirmation status found at the bottom right of the screen.

To acquire armor and weapons, there is a requirement of every 5 consecutive levels.

You should not be afraid to undertake quests. They were designed to make the game more fun and exciting. It is through these quests that you can also gain experiences, equipment, items and mesos. Some of the quests are easy for beginners, while others require a significant amount of levels and playing time that come along for the task. Most quests have a requirement of every 5 consecutive levels, which is based in their degree of difficulty.

Power and speed are vital in fighting monsters. Try and see if you can determine the effectiveness of using a particular weapon compared to the others by their intrinsic characteristics. An axe has an Attack Power of 27 but is a “slow” weapon, while a Saber may have a much lesser Attack Power of 20 but is 2 and ½ times faster. The damage inflicted and hits caused will roughly work out the same over time.

The bowmen, magicians and thieves are capable of long range attacks, but need to keep up with their arrows, throwing stars, and MP’s, respectively. Warriors, on the other hand, rely mostly on close range attacks. But since they have large HP and attacking levels, they have the capability to fight stronger monsters.

Should you feel that the place you are in is too crowded, you can always switch to a different channel and still remain in the same place.

Guide to How to Live A Non-Regretful Maple Life!

2009-12-17T15:13:00.001+08:00

Sorry for the late thank you, -Hime-. DX Thank you for pinning this.

Hello, lads and gals, welcome to the unofficial *cough* guide of how to live a non-regretful Maple life! SERIOUSLY!

Now, let us begin:

People have been getting scammed, hacked, ect. Now, how can you get out of that trapped trail, and unto the Maple life of no regrets? I am here to warn people, since I have my own regrets in Maplestory (and other MMORPGs). Let us begin! Pay attention please. :]

Scams: One of the Most Regretful Incidents EVER

Scams... When there are good people, there are bad people! Here's how to prevent a scam:

If someone tells you "Drop Your Item and press [insert pathetic ways to close your Maplestory window] to duplicate it!" don't do it, but, some people actually believe this. <.<;;
Never drop trade, not trustworthy.
If you are unsure about the price (like a set of Tobis for 100k) check Basil Market before doing any trades. V~V Sorry mods if I am breaking a rule.
If someone tells you "Selling NX", don't play along with the dude.
Now that, let us move unto another subject:

Hacks: Worst Things Ever Invented!!!

Do not trust any websites that "offer" Free Nexon Cash. Because, they'll just offer a virus (ex: keylogger, Trojan)
Never trust anyone who is offering to pin crack you.
If a hacker is on the map, try taking a screenshot and report him/her and leave ASAP.
Never trust "Meso Generators" sites.
***EDIT*** Thank you lolimatheif for saying this... if you're friends have played Maplestory on your computer, make sure you scan your computer if they installed hacks! And make sure to say to your friend, "Stop hacking."

Demonhawk:

(Unquote)

You should edit this.

1. Do not trust any websites that "offer" free Nexon cash, mesos, powerlevelling, or duplication of items (oldest trick in the book) and require ANY account information. And NEVER accept any hacks, as

This is illegal and you are breaking the TOS
Heard of autoban? Even if the hacks work you'll get banned after 10 seconds of hacking.
Trojans will forever haunt your cpu that you paid major money for.
They come, they report, they leave, you deserve it for trying to get hacks
And NEVER GIVE YOUR ACCOUNT INFORMATION AS THEY MAY USE THIS AS PAYMENT for whatever you wanted to get. You MIGHT however get your account back, with an absence of all items and mesos, and maybe characters.

MESO GENERATORS DO NOT EXIST, THEREFOR IT IS GUARANTEED THAT THESE SITES ARE SCAMS. The ONLY site that can give out mesos and won't be a scam is NEXON.NET and they never give out mesos anyway. Mesos levels are SERVER SIDE, and that means it is IMPOSSIBLE to hack mesos directly. It's as easy as HACKING YOUR CHAR AND MAKING IT LEVEL 200. Unless you have DIRECT ACCESS to the server then it is impossible.

Thank you Demonhawk. =D

Now, done blabbing about hacks, let us look at relationships xP

Need Some Friends?

Try talking to some people (no, this does not include begging for free stuff, you should know that by now!)
Try talking to some people while training.
Party. That is all to say.
Avoid begging for mesos and NX. This will get you defamed.
Avoid KS'ing, this will ruin your reputation.
Avoid using offensive language and racism and sexism.
And most of all, try your best. :]
***NEW!!!! (added on Sept. 1st)

How to Avoid Buying Something in the Cash Shop You Don't Need!!!!

Look at the weapon equipment information. See if it masks over a certain weapon (ex: Claw, bow, crossbow, wands and staff, ect.)
Look at the information by hovering your little glove on the item. (like, you don't know what a tele rock is, look at it and see if you need it)
Plan Out? Plan out outfits before buying, if some time later, you don't like it, delete that and plan out another outfit before making your purchase.
I made this because some people have been mistakenly bought a NX bow equip when they are a magician. And I don't want any people wasting NX. And if you think you can refund, sadly, no, you cannot. All sales are final.

Now, to the newbies:

Never beg for money, stuff, ect. It will affect your reputation to others. And don't scam or hack, it'll just get you banned. And NEVER threaten ANYONE. EVEN NEXON OR WIZET. Cuz, you WILL regret it!

Now side notes xP:

Please play legitely (no hacks, no scams, no offensive language, ect.)

Please pay attention to MapleTips, especially when you are a newbie.

Ask some questions, Albert Einsten says never stop asking questions, it may be annoying, but someone might have the heart to answer.

Never beg for stuff, everyone (well, ALMOST everyone) earned their stuff the hard way, you should too.

Guide To Making Millions of Mesos

2009-12-16T11:28:00.000+08:00

So you're just starting out in Maplestory and you're in need of mesos to buy certain equipment or whatnot. This is the ultimate guide to earn mesos when just starting out, and tips in this guide should be used even when you're level 70, it's that helpful! There are a few basic rules you should follow on your road to making millions of mesos, these rules should guide you throughout the game, even when you aren't a newbie anymore. Let's begin this mesos making guide.

Beware of Scammers, Cheaters, & Thieves!

When you're just starting out make sure you know the ins and outs of scammers in games. Every single online multiplayer game has scammers trying to cheat you out of your mesos and steal anything and everything they can from you. You need to be on the lookout for these sorts of people, what they usually do and how they act. Scammers usually have offers that seem way to good to be true, they will want you to trade your mesos, your items or anything else you might have without them giving you anything in return but a promise of something great in the future. At times they will promise you millions of mesos or super rare items if you give them something at that moment in time, and of course after you give them that certain item they run off and you'll never hear from them again. Also remember probably the most important thing in the game, and that's to never ever give your password or pin to anybody in the game, on any website, or any program that you download! Overall you just need to be cautious and always on the lookout for scammers, if something is too good to be true, it probably is, and if possible try to ALWAYS use the trade system or markets when making transactions for items and whatever else you may need.

Always Have Room In Inventory, Pick Everything Up!
You just killed a monster and he drops a small red potion? Do you pick it up or just say forget it and walk away? If you don't pick it up then that's a loss for you, when you think about it, if you eventually got to level 30 it probably means you killed thousands of monsters, tens of THOUSANDS perhaps! Now imagine EVERY single item you left behind, that you thought wasn't worth picking up, it's so sad when people just leave drops lying around and not pick them up. If you pick up as many items as you can, no matter how crappy or unowrthy they are, I promise you'll be making MILLIONS of mesos from selling them later on. Every time you do a quest, make sure you empty out your inventory before heading out. That way when you're killing monsters you can pick up and collect as many items in your inventory as possible. If you don't make thousands of mesos each trip you make you can come back and blame me for a terrible tip, but honestly you'll thank me for doing so!

The Market Is A Gold Mine!
If you want to buy an item that you need, or you found something that you think could be worth a lot, don't just buy it or sell it to someone right away if you think you're getting a good price. When you do that without checking the market prices you are bound to lose money by either buying something that is overpriced or selling your items way under value. Always check the market, see offers and prices for that item in different places and make sure you're getting the most mesos out of the deal as possible, by either saving mesos when you buy and making mesos when you sell.

Farming Monster Drops
Depending on what level you are, you may need mesos for a certain item that you need, such as equipment or something else that you want. One way I found to getting a ton of mesos is farming certain monsters that you can easily beat and that drop good items that a lot of people want. The best thing to do is as you go along doing quests note down which quests require certain items that you can find on the market, and when you actually do the quests see how easily you can find those items from monster drops and keep that in mind. What you can do now is farm those monsters over and over and over again collecting the quest item drop, plus getting experience, plus getting other items and mesos that they drop. After you do this a ton of items and get tired of it you'll find yourself with hundreds (hopfully!) of that certain quest item, now head over to the market and sell those items! Note: Before you actually do this, make sure that the items you farm are actually worth a good amount, or if they aren't worth as much as you were hoping for maybe the drop rate is really good so instead of getting an item every 20 monster kills thats worth 10k mesos, you can get an item worth 5k but that drops every 8 monster kills, in the long run you'll be making a ton more!

Note: This is a work in progress this guide will be updated over time, bookmark it and check back often!

Maple Story Insider Tips

2009-12-15T11:55:00.000+08:00

Maple Story Insider Tips If you want to get anywhere in the world of MapleStory Europe, you'e going to need show off your skills. It's not enough for a wapler??that's somebody who regularly plays MapleStory ?to simply tool themselves up with decent weapons and armour in their quest for fame and fortune. To beat the toughest challenges that regularly face every Mapler you'e going to need a broad range of skills and abilities too, and that's where MapleStory's impressive skill system comes into practice.

As with everything else in MapleStory, the emphasis has been to create something simple and user-friendly, so those not familiar with the MMORPG genre can pick things up straight away, yet at the same time, still maintain enough depth so that more experienced gamers are kept entertained throughout. The result is a truly amazing skill system that stands out from every other free-to-play MMORPG currently available.

Learning New Skills

MapleStory Europe currently boasts over 80 individual skills to choose from, divided into separate categories by character profession. This ensures new Maplers are never overwhelmed by too much choice to begin with, while still allowing plenty of scope for variety. For instance, Beginners ?the profession that all new characters start as ?have access to just three basic skills to help introduce the concept; one offensive (Three Snails), one defensive (Recovery) and one passive (Nimble Feet). This then increases to a much larger range of skills once players gain some experience and specialise as either Warrior, Bowman, Thief or Magician, and even larger still once they progress to the next level of job specialisation.

Some of the skills are passive and designed to improve your offensive or defensive capabilities, such as the Thief's been Eyes?ability. Others are more proactive and must be physically activated?to be used. The Magician's energy Bolt?skill for instance, unleashes powerful magic bolts every time you tap the keyboard (and conveniently, MapleStory lets you map skills to any key of your choosing).

In every case, the effectiveness of your skills is based on how well trained you are in that particular ability. Every time you gain a level in MapleStory you will be awarded a handful of Skill Points to spend on your growing range of skills and abilities. The more points you spend on a skill, the more powerful it becomes; simple. There's even a basic skill-tree?system, with certain more powerful skills only becoming available once a particular level has been reached in a previous skill. For example, Bowmen can only start learning the useful range-increasing eye of Amazon?skill once they'e reached level 3 in the previous skill, 態lessing of Amazon?

Mastering Skills

As players only receive a few Skill Points to distribute every time they level up, you will need to think carefully about how to spend them when it comes to developing your character. Do you aim to specialise in aggressive, offensive skills ?or do you opt to concentrate on more passive, ability buffing skills? Alternatively, you can always try spreading your skill points evenly across a number of different skills. Each method has its own pros and cons, although we find most Maplers tend to concentrate on Mastering each skill in turn ?in other words, building each skill up to its maximum possible level before moving on to the next.

While many players have commented to us how much they enjoy MapleStory's easy and approachable skill system, one of the biggest points of feedback we'e received is from people who put their experience into one particular skill, only to decide they rather be accomplished in a different area instead. That's why you will soon be able to buy Skill Point Reset tokens from the game's Cash Shop. These let you transfer points that have already been allocated from one skill to another, giving you even more flexibility over how your character develops.

Staying Skilled

However you want to play MapleStory ?whether it's fast and aggressive, or laid back and friendly ?we'e ensured a range of skills that matches each and every player's requirement of an entertaining and playable MMORPG. More importantly, we'e constantly adding new skills to the game as we increase the number of jobs available ?players can expect another 60 or so skills when the third level of job progression is unveiled in the coming months. And as is always the case with MapleStory, every update, along with the entire game itself is completely free, forever!

MapleStory Mesos Intro

2009-12-14T13:01:00.000+08:00

Description

Meso (plural Mesos) is the virtual currency used in the game 'MapleStory'. This currency is used to either buy items from NPC (Non-Player-Character) merchants or trading with other players. You can earn mesos by killing monsters or selling your items.

Mesos can come in various forms including the most basic and cheap bronze coin, then the gold coin, next a bundle of cash, and then a sack of gold.

Bronze Coin - 10-49 mesos

Gold Coin - 50-99 mesos

Bundle of Cash - 100-999 mesos

Sack of Gold - 1000-50000 mesos

You cannot drop more than 50000 Mesos at one time. Saying this, you also cannot drop less than 10 Mesos at one time. You can earn lots of mesos, allowing you to spend it on necessities for your character. You shouldn't waste mesos! There is no limit in how many Mesos you can hold, but there is a storage NPC in each town for you to store mesos in.

Earning Mesos

Are you short on mesos? Need funding to purchase your next equipment? Looking for a way to gain mesos faster? This short guide will list some of the do's and do not's of meso earning for each class.

All Classes

Do Winston's Fossil Dig-up quest. The 30K mesos obtained are a considerable amount for the level (21).

Do the quest Alex the Runaway Kid. The level 25/30 earrings obtained saves you from buying earrings at that level.

Do the quest Fairy's Horn Flute at levels 30-40, as it will give Blue Moon Earrings. This will save you from buying earrings at level 40.

Do the quests "To the New World", "Jane the Alchemist" and "Peace at Eos Tower" at level 40. These quests will give good rewards, boosting your mesos by a large sum. All 3 quests can give a 60% Scroll for Gloves for ATT, which sells for 7-12 million mesos (the actual price depends on the server you are on)

Do the quest Terminating the Dark Force, which is the final sequel to the quest The Ore of Dark Crystal. Although the dark crystal ores might be pricey, they are worth the overall scrolls.

Do Party Quests. Especially for Ludibrium Party Quest, because you may recieve great prizes, such as Capes, Earrings and Scrolls.

Do keep your solid horns or foxtails or anything that can be used for the exhange quest. people will buy them at a higher price as compared to the NPC.

Do keep your money in the bank to refrain from buying unnecessary things.

Do not beg for mesos, it gives people the impression that you are a poor MapleStory player. Some players will get very annoyed when asked for mesos and you might get a defame instead.

Do not sell your ores to NPCs. Instead find someone on the free market and sell it. 100/150 mesos for an ore isn't worth it. Neither should you sell those 1-meso items, chances are, they are worth decent amounts in the market (eg. Omoks, Monster Cards and Scrolls).

Do not do the Showa Exchange Quest, as the pay rates are not worth it at all.

Thieves

(Claw Thieves)-So, you are constantly refilling stars, also buying MP/HP pots, and you have scrolls/equips/etc. to buy. So, seems tough enough. Well here are some small tips that may help you:

Buy Subi throwing stars for training.(will help 'down', the price for refilling stars.)

Despite being weaker, icicles actually cost more to recharge compared to tobis. Try not to use the fanciful stars (wooden tops, snowballs, icicles) as the recharge costs tend to be steeper.

Bowmen

Don't buy arrows from players, since they take more money than they're worth. A arrow can be bought for 1 meso each in the store or made by obtaining 1 prosessed wood (10 tree branches/5 firewood and 1 stiff feather.) Don't use upgraded arrows (Bronze arrows) for training.

Magician

Ice Lightning Mage:

An Ice Lightning mage with their cold beam at level 15 will find fire boars a valuable source of money. At that level, you should be able to kill fire boars in one hit. Ice/Lightning mages should try not to use Lightning Bolt to train at early levels as the MP cost is very high.

Cleric:

Clerics level 43+ with maxed heal should utilize the monkey forest or monkey swamp. Zombie lupins give good drops, exp, and you can mob them up and heal attack them. They drop nice amounts of meso too, and cursed dolls can sell for a nice profit. Zombie lupins are sort of like an upgraded fireboar but for Clerics. In actual fact, Clerics should NOT be losing mesos.

AoE (Area of Effect) When dealing with Area of Effect moves like explosion or thunderbolt, you will save a lot of mesos by sniping mobs instead of jumping into them and attacking. The main advantage of AoEs are their ability to assail monsters, yet giving the mobs no chance of reaching the caster.

Inflation

Like any real world currency, the MapleStory economy is subject to the same flow; because monsters provide an essentially unlimited supply of mesos, the value of the meso has decreased over time. Natural deflation occurs whenever players purchase items from NPCs, or when players who hold mesos no longer participate in the economy, or with an increase in population (not necessarily changing the hands of mesos, but affecting an average income) but mesos are generally created faster than the population can increase to even them out. This leads to continual price rises of various items.

To curb inflation, Nexon provides ample opportunities to begin anew on new servers, yet these new servers ultimately fall victim to the same problems as their predecessors; so, in order to curb inflation on individual servers, Nexon utilizes an escalating tax system in trading, deliveries, and player shops. This has implications for trading; because one can trade in installments to evade taxes, new opportunities for scamming have emerged, as well as disputes regarding the number of mesos one recieves.

Getting Rich on MapleStory(FAQ)

2009-12-13T12:00:00.000+08:00

Q: Getting rich on MapleStory..?

I am play maplestory for about 30 minutes a week since school is back and homework is piling up. And when i'm playing, during that time i use my lvl 13 sin on kradia to kill slimes and orange shrooms. I bought a $10 nexon card on my lvl 33 i/l mage in bellocan and that gave me about 19 mil when i used it on gacha and sold it. Right now, i'm broke so i can't afford any cards. Can anyone give any tips other than pick up everything to get more than 5K each week? I told myself i wouldn't buy those cards...but i'll probably break that promise when i eventually find another job. Please reply freely.

A: Everyone says kill... kill... kill... What you need to do is:

A.) Get scrolls, I don't care how... you can do really simple quests to get them... You'll get some good ones, and those can sell ranging from bad (2 mil) to good (32 mil)

B.) Wait for in game events that require you getting items. There's usually an ultra rare item, and if you get that (haha... very likely) you can sell it for millions! Two years ago, maplestory's Christmas event wanted us to gather the letters MapleStory from killing monsters, and aple tory were easy to get, but the M and S were hard. I found an M, and from that alone I got 14 mil.... combined, people offered me 25 mil! =)

Right now, I'm bored of maplestory, stinkin rich, and yeah.... Hahahahah..... 426 mil... And people, I don't care if you say, oh, I have a gajillion billion mil! =P

A: Kill monsters to get rare equips and sell them I guess. I make 30k or more on my lvl 33 cleric on Windia just by going to the dungeon and killing zombie mushrooms the whole time in 1 hour. I make a profit even though I spend over 40k on blue pots and junk. I did that and I still don't have a chaos robe but good money. You can train there too but it might be boring. I only play 2 hours a week before I quit 7 months ago. Still you can get over 70k a week if you do that. and if you get a chaos robe and don't need it sell it.

A: If you were smart, you'd quit MS or try having some fun on it. Making maplestory mesos on a game means nothing. Sooner or later, you'll find yourself spending all your time trying to make worthless fake gold

FirstKnight's Tip On MapleStory Money Making

2009-12-12T11:09:00.000+08:00

Hey everyone! FirstKnight here to give you a tip on how to make money! It might work, it might not.

Tip 1 : "Training"
Training is perhaps the easiest way to make money. Make sure you don't use too much potions, and probably 1-3 hit it. Hope for drops, they are the one-way ticket to make you rich. Make sure you make more money than you spend. For example, if you spent 500k on potions, make more than that. If you can't, you should train on something different.

Tip 2 : "Being a Merchant"
This tip if for people who have a lot of mesos, who want to make even more. You buy scrolls and items for a cheap price from the PQ areas or Free Market, and sell them for a higher price. Sometimes it doesn't work, so I don't really recommend this tip, but for some people, it's a success.

Tip 3 : "Quests"
Quests help A LOT in making money. I recommend doing the quests that give you scrolls, such as "Jane and the Wild Boar", "Jane the Alchemist", "Peace at EOS Tower", and more. 60% Glove Attack scrolls are worth so much now, you'd probably want to get 1. Also, Weapon Attack scrolls are worth a lot, so try getting it from a quest.

These are just money-making tips I use, and I really think they're useful to me. I spend too much, but I always get back what I spend. If you have more tips, please post it here.

How To Buying and Selling Mesos

2009-12-10T10:26:00.000+08:00

Buying and Selling is one of the most important activities done in Maplestory. Mesos are the currency used in MapleStory and without it you will not get anywhere. This guide will help you with the many problems of Buying and Selling.

Selling - Free Market
The first way to make some mesos is by using the Free Market also known as the FM. When you have something of value (example: ore, rare equipment, quest items) which you don't need, why keep them? Instead, free up your inventory space while earning some Mesos on the Free Market! This process of selling in the FM can be quite stressful, though. There are many scammers, "noobs", and other users who can take advantage of you, so be careful. When you have something you want to sell, make sure you follow these steps.

How to Sell
Price Check. Check the average price of your item. You can ask a friend, use MapleStory Help Sites (such as MapleTip or Basilmarket - a site used just for buying/selling MapleStory items), or just use the NPC x1.5 Method. This method requires you to go into any store, double click on the NPC (Non-Player Character) Shop-owner who's there, and check to see how much they will buy your item for. Now, just multiply their price by 1.5. This works for some items, but not all though, so be careful. Since the shop usually buys the items for 1/2 the price it's bought, you would basically be selling the item for 75% of it's total value. Some items such as snowboards and other event items may only sell at 1 meso at the shops so use your common sense and check at a site.
Find an FM. Now you know the price of your item, let's sell it! You must now find a FM portal. These are located in: Henesys, Perion, El Nath, Aqua Road, Lubidrium, Omega Sector and Orbis(You'll most probably use those in Henesys and Perion more often as the other portals are in locations with higher-leveled and considerably tougher monsters). When you get to the town, enter into the large blue-oval portal, find a good spot to advertise and sell, sell, sell!!
Note that there is only one FM in a channel. This basically means that the Henesys, Perionm El Nath (etc) Free Market portals lead to one place. Tip: Make sure to use either Channel 1 or 2 when selling in the free market. Most people have established the first two channels as the unofficial location of the "Main" Free Market.

Create a Catchy Message. When sell something, you'll need to make your item's advertisement stand out from the rest of the crowds', or at least be noticeable. There are several ways to do this:
Use @. After you've created your selling message, insert in as many "@" signs as you can fit in your message. This will raise up your speech bubble, so it can be seen above the smaller speech bubbles. Or, when there's a load of people doing this, don't use the @ sign, or use less @ signs so yours stands out among the smaller speech bubbles.
Ducking and Jumping. If many people have taller messages, try ducking under their speech bubbles (using the DOWN arrow) to show yours. Or if there aren't too many people broadcasting tall bubbles, try and jump above messages.
Advertising Spots. If you're lucky, you can find a space where no one is advertising. Take this spot so people will be able to see your speech bubble clearly. These occurrences are rare, though.
Retyping. The most important tip - don't advertise just once. If you don't get a trade request right away, (which you shouldn't) retype the message, or, when you're able to type, press the UP arrow to get to your last message - presumably your advertisement. Keeping doing it until you get a request.
Note: If you type the same thing too many times, or give too many messages, a popup appears telling you that your messaging system has been disabled for a few seconds. Try to wait to the last second possible before your speech bubble disappears and you have to type again or make your messages slightly different, add a full stop or take away an '@'.

This isn't all you need to successfully sell an item on the FM though - you need to know some FM lingo.

Free-Market vocabulary
People who frequently use the FM, or trade with people a lot, know the FM slang (FM talk). But, as a beginner, you may not be able to figure it all out (though it's mostly abbreviations). So, here are some of the more important FM terms.

Message Beginners

S> means 'selling'. Look for this when buying items, or to compare prices.
B> means 'buying'. Look for this when selling items, or to compare buying offers.
T> means 'trading'. Not as often as the others, but you will see it from time-to-time. Generally people use a message like this: T>Snail Shells for Mushroom Spores. The first item is usually what they have and the second what they want to trade it for.
Tid-Bit of Info: When you PQ (Party Quest) (Kerning_PQ or Ludibrium_PQ), you may see J>, meaning Joining. And you could also see D>, meaning 'Dropping'.

Meso Terms

k or K, kilo, meaning thousand. Example: 40k = 40 000 mesos.
mil or m, an abbreviation for 'million'. Example: 40M or 40mil = 40 000 000.
The Decimal (#.###). Generally used with millions, and less often used with thousands. You need to understand math for this one. Example: 4.5k = 4 and 1/2 K = 4 500 mesos; 4.55M = 4 550 000 mesos.
Abbreviations
Often people use short forms for items, such as Octo Legs (Octopus legs) or G. Mush Caps (Green Mushroom Caps).

Now you know the most common FM Lingo. But, can you put together an advertisement? Here's an example. This person is Selling some Blue Snail Shells for 20,000 mesos each. (No, I do not recommend selling extremely common Snail Shells, nor selling them for 20 000 mesos each.) This would be: S> B. Snail Shells -- 20k each

Simply stick to the basic outline: Message Beginner + Item Name + Name/Price Divider (optional. This is like the "--" used above. Just separates the price from the item.) + @ (optional.) and you're on your way!

Selling - Random Area
Now you can sell in the FM. However, there are a few differences when trying to sell to other people in other areas. It's the same idea though. First, figure out your price, then, put together your message. Instead of going to the FM, try a popular area, such as the Henesys Hunting Grounds I, in Kerning City next to Lakelis, or anywhere else you can find a large group of people.

Your item would obviously sell best where it's in demand. If there is a popular quest what asks for Squishy Liquids located in Henesys, you can try to stand near the quest NPC and sell there. This is only if the quest is Extremely Popular

Now, use some similar techniques. Try jumping to get peoples attention. You can cover more ground area with Nimble Feet (a Beginner's Basics skill), Speed Pills, Haste (a 2nd Job skill for Assassins and Bandits) or by just not stopping. And make your message understandable. No one wants to buy from someone who says "sell b. s. shl 4.54Kmeso."

But if you don't enjoy walking around and talking all day, you can try the still-advertisement technique.

Still-Advertising
This just refers to advertising the goods you're selling or buying without moving. There are three ways to do this, as shown below.

The free version
You don't have to spend any time or effort for this one, but you do have to be at your computer for as long as you want to advertise. Here, just stand in a popular area and advertise until you sell all of your valuables. Basically, this is just like selling while walking, without the walking.

Game anyone?
Try using a Match Card Game, or game of Omok (2-player games made at the Game Zone in Henesys' Park). You don't have to be at your computer the entire time, but, you will have some unwanted visitors. As well, you can't have a definite price if you want to leave the computer. You need to collect other player's offers, and find the highest price when you come back. Find that user, go to them, and trade. This technique does require some effort; you have to make the game first. But, once that's done, it's really easy. Open up your Item Inventory, and move to the ETC tab. Double click on your game. A window comes up, fill it like so:

Name: Place your selling message here. Keep it short and sweet, but still understandable. If you can, put in that you're not playing your game, just selling items. Password: Leave this unchecked. You want people to be able to get in, and tell you your offer.

Now, press OK and sit back and relax. Your message is permanently displayed, until you want to leave "advertising mode" (just click EXIT to quit the "game").

Attention Cash Shop Buyers!
If you buy items from the Cash Shop using NX Cash, you can buy a "store". Note that this costs REAL LIFE MONEY, and isn't for everyone. With this technique, buy a store, and head off to the FM. Enter in one of the Numbered rooms to the left (preferrably #'s 1-3 on channels 1 or 2). Now, find an open spot that you can use. Double click on your store in your CASH tab in your inventory, and fill out the popup that appears. As I have never owned a store, I can't help you much here. But, I can say that this is only for selling, and there are definite prices, no offering here! The plus side? You can talk to your customers, and can have up to 3 at a time.

Also, If you do not wish to sit around and wait for customers, you can pay more NX Cash to get a 'merchant'. This NPC will watch your store for you, while you do something more interesting. Note that there are two versions of the merchant: a 1 day version, and a 7 day version.

Conclusion
Now you know the main techniques involved in selling items in MapleStory. When you're higher leveled, you can try charging beginners for training (make a party, offer to train them for a price), or with those FM Stores, you can try "selling your advertising spot" if you have one in a high-concentrated channel.

Some Final Tips
Save up money! Try only keeping a certain amount of money in your inventory, and storing the rest with storage NPC. (Non-Player Characters that charge you for the safe-keeping of your items and mesos. These NPCs are found in every town, and share storage between each town, and throughout the server/world. So, if you have one character in Henesys and another on the same world --Scania, Bera, Broa, Windia, etc.-- you can easily transfer items.) This helps to lower that urge to spend more money then needed.
Buy sparingly, sell often. Buy only when you need to, and sell whenever you have something of value. Equipment (at higher levels), quest items and ore (such as steel or mithril or bronze) are often sold and have stable prices you can keep track of.
Become an expert. Buy low, and sell high. Treat the FM as a stock market. "Haggle" ("argue" on a price, lowering and raising it to suit the needs of both the buyer and seller) in order to buy items for less, and sell them for more.
And of course, Have fun!
Feel free to add more of a "buying" section to this guide if you can.

Cleric Money Cleric Build

A Cleric build designed to make - and save - as much money as possible. It doesn't follow any guidelines on soloing or partying, but is vaguely based on soloing. It focuses on the most financially rewarding skills first, while not binding a player to living their MapleStory life a specific way. I, Naglfar52, thought this build up while trying to figure out a way to save myself from my horrible meso-related difficulties as best I can. If you can catch me on Maple somehow, let me know your opinions on this, be it positive or negative. Just constructive criticism only, please. :)

From Zilch to Millions, For a Merchanting WS

2009-12-06T16:57:00.000+08:00

Now you all want to know how to get from zero to a couple hundred million in a short time span. It can be done with quite a bit of hard work.

First, you need some Nexon Cash. The more, the merrier.

Part 1: Nexon Cash

Nexon Cash is critical to gaining mesos. You do not have to waste a lot of gachapon, you simply need a store permit. Below is a list of possible stores that are economical.

1. Standard Regular Store permit (18 slots)

This costs 1.8k NX and you can live for about 3 months with this, however, you will not be able to maintain a good FM spot as you will disconnect and ACers will be there to get you. More on ACers in a bit. You will also not be able to restock your store, however, there is no time limit on how long you can be there unless you disconnect or close on will.

2. Two week Mushroom House (16 slots)

This costs roughly 10k NX, but lasts two weeks. You can refresh the store (meaning you it gives you money and clears up a slot) and you can maintain the store at any time. It will not disconnect and you don't have to leave your computer on as it is a NPC. Only con is that it self closes after 24 hours, so you will have to "reset" the store every 24 hours. More on resetting later.

-Summary-

Basically, the cheapest way is to get the regular store permit, but then you can't play MapleStory. Getting the Mushroom house is the most convient way, however if you don't have money to waste, get the regular store permit.

Section Two: Getting Starting Mesos

You need mesos to start any sort of business. It's fairly easy in the world of the free market. First, find any spot between FM 1 through FM 6 in Channel 1 of your world and sell it. To sell a spot, put one single item up and then set a price on it. Different FMs have different prices, so follow this chart.

FM 1 - 2 Million Mesos

FM 2 - 2 Million Mesos

FM 3 - 500k

FM 4 - 100k

FM 5 - 50k

FM 6 - 10k

It's hard to find spots in FM 1 and FM 2, so just try to find any. Once you have 500k maplestory mesos, you're ready to start.

Section Three: Price collection

In order to be successful, you will need to know the prices in the free market. Get a sheet of paper out and draw three columns. The first column is 10% scrolls, second is 60% scrolls and the third is 100% scrolls.

The next step is a very time consuming one, but fairly easy. Go through every single shop in the Free market and find scrolls that have been sold (grayed out). Write down that scroll in the approiate column and put the price. If the same scroll is found later and was sold for a higher price, change it to the higher price on your sheet of paper. Keep collecting prices until you've got over 50 different scrolls. Now you're set.

Section Four: Shopping

It's time to shop. If you're lazy and don't like to communicate, simply find scrolls in the free market and try to find them at a price that is way below the price you've marked on your piece of paper. For example, if a Wand for Att 60% scroll on your sheet of paper is 1.8 million mesos, and someone is selling for 1 million, buy it.

Once you've used up all your mesos or your inventory is full, it's time to set up your store.

However, if you do like to communicate with people, you can go to either the Kerning City Party quest and channel surf saying "Buying scrolls" and try to convince people to sell a scroll to you at a lower price than the one on your piece of paper or go to other locations listed below:

Kerning City PQ

Ludibrium PQ

Orbis PQ

Free Market 1 Channel 1 or Channel 2

I find Ludi PQ is most effective. Remember to channel surf and be friendly.

Section Five: FM Spots

FM Spots are crucial to having business. The better the FM, the better the sales. Try your best to get a spot in FM 1, 2, or 3. Here's a great tip to getting spots:

At roughly 5:00 PM CST (3:00 PM PST), most people come home and want to play MapleStory. Thus, go to FM 2 and sit there and wait for stores to close. Once you see a store close, run to it and grab it.

Another tip is a very rough one. On the next server check, put your character in FM 1 and wait for the server check to be over. Once it's over, immediately login and grab a spot as fast as you can.

Once you get a spot, keep it. You'll learn how to keep it in a bit.

Section Six: Sales

You should be set now, people will start buying from you and you'll gain a profit. From the wand example above, you'd gain 800k maple story mesos profit.

However, you need to maintain your spot.

Section Seven: Maintaince

Maintaining your FM spot is crucial for sales. If you have a mushroom house, yuo will have to close and re-open the store every 24 hours or so. If you double click your mushroom house while it's open, there will be a timer on the top right corner saying how much time is left. You should close and open the store before that time is out.

Description of Jump Quest

For the first map, you will be introduced to lasers. The idea is to dodge them. When the lasers shine, predict where you would climb to next. Then when the lasers go off, climb to wherever you wanted to. Don't be too ambitious; you'll just get hit by the lasers before you get up. And be careful: for this jump quest, the big platforms has lots of holes in it. You can fall through it. For the 2nd portion, pressing the up button while on the topmost platform, 2nd platform from the right, will get you through. Then going left to the ladder. The trick to get past this is to hover above the 3rd rung of the ladder. As for the way to the portal, get hit by the moving orange bar (so you'll be knocked to the left platform), go up, and brute force your way through to the portal. Second map: Fall down, take damage, and press the up button while on the traffic light. Then begin the ardous climb. If you are not careful and get hit by a laser, most likely you'll end up having to start from scratch, because remember that the big platforms are "not there". Get to the other side, and jump, aiming for the portal. You'll most likely suffer fall damage and get knocked off that platform. In that case, scramble for the nearest safe platform, so being agile is critical here. If not, you'll have to start from the bottom of the column. Get through the portal, and you're done!

Remember: Jump Quests cannot be completed unless you have patience! Patience is more important than nimble fingers.

Notes

"Talking" to the Exit sign will return you to the subway. No refunds.

You can return to redo this jump quest. Finishing it again will reward you with 2 pieces of a random mineral/jewel ore, excluding Gold Ore and Black Crystal Ore.

Unlike all of John's jumping quests, you can do Shumi's Lost Coin quest again even after you recieve this quest.

NEVER trust the big platforms. You'll never know whether it is actually empty space.

At the end, there are Jr. Wraiths waiting for you to kill. There's also the occasionnal Jr. Boogie. Double-clicking on the Trasure Chest brings you back to the subway, with the corresponding reward insuated into your inventory. Note the timer. When time runs out, you are automatically ejected out of the area.

Table Of Contents
This guide will help you know what to do and what to sell for good money. There are also many good quests which give you some really costly stuff, but most people would like to scroll it, but for me I like to sell it (I have bad luck with scrolls anyways.)

Money Making Quests
Gathering for Money
One way you can earn money is by training on Monsters and just simply taking the items and mesos they drop. This may not be effective until monsters start to drop 200 mesos but you should also take the items they drop, even if they are in the etc section. You may also find equips, scrolls or stars which can be sold for a very high price. Also try to be in 2x drop events, which could help you earn a lot of money and some good equips or scrolls.

Looting
Another way too earn money is looting! Looting may be very effective for Levels 20-40 at Amoria at the Sakura Cellions. Try to find a pro killer(or a noob) that isn't taking the stuff they kill and just loot it. It may not seem effect but after maybe 2 hours you will have 400k. This isn't seen done very often because people prefer to fight for their items and like the exp they get too but if it's possible, try to party with that person. This gives you the ability to take the items immediately and gives you exp.

Selling Items
There are some items that give some very nice amounts of money, but are rare:

Scrolls
60% for weapon/magic attack

Stars
Steely- 8 mil

Ilbis- 15 mil

Overall Equips
Sauna Robe Male[Clean]- 1 mil

Capes
Icarus Cape 2[Clean]- 4 mil

These are only a few of the good money making items.

Money Making Quests
Level 20
Pia and the Blue Mushroom
Scroll for helmet 10% or 60% or 100%

Level 25
Sabitrama and the Diet Medicine
Scroll for overall DEF 10% or 60%

Making Mesos Using Huckle's Quest

2009-11-30T13:44:00.000+08:00

Intro

Hey you, yes, you! Want to know a little secret of mine - making a lot of maplestory mesos. And to me, 75k a day for 15 minutes it quite a lot.

Info

Here are some things you should keep in mind:

Bowmen shouldn't think of doing this to make meso, its hard to even HIT the monster needed to make 75k a day, sorry. =( If you have a mage for a replacement that would be nice =)

Mages are highly recommended because of the monster's magic attack - Mages have high magic defence. Period.

Sounds great! How do I do this?

Simple. Everyday you visit orbis, and do Huckle's shell quest. You will get 5 scrolls. SInce these are in high demand, they sell fast. Sell for 80k each. Thats a VERY fair price. =)

5 scrolls * 80k = 400k

(Remember Prices are different in all The Servers there around 150k-250k now)

Alternative

Instead of going to orbis everyday, what you can do is to stock up on shells, and transfer them to a side account. That side account is going to the 10th floor and enter huckle's lab. So, every 24 hours you will log in on that side account and finish the quest. Leave those scrolls in your inventory, and when you run out of shells, you can sell those scrolls.

Notes

If you are willing to make a side account that only have shells, read this.

(this will last 2 months)

2,720 Jr. Stieniel Shells +

1,320 Fire Stienel Shells +

1,320 Ice Stienel Shells = 5,360 which will take appox 27 slots in a full etc inventory (28 slots) (take off 200 of each shell group to fit a 24 slot inventory).

Ahh...big numbers time =D

Now we shall look at the big numbers! Because everyone likes big numbers amount of meso, don't you?

Good big numbers:

1 week - 525k

1 month - 2 mil 100k

2 months - 4 mil 200k

3 months - 6 mil 300k

12 months - 25 mil 200k (wow O_o)

Enhanced Guide ( Due to new prices )(New Prices 150k-250k)

1 week - 1,050,000

1 months - 4,500,000

2 months - 9,000,000

3 months - 13,500,000

12 months - 54,750,000 =0

( The highest you can do is around 75mil)

Bad big numbers:

5,360 shells total 2 months

32,160 shells total 1 year (;-;)

Guide to Earning MapleStory Mesos

2009-11-29T11:39:00.000+08:00

Introduction

Welcome to Anonymous's Guide to Money Making in MapleStory! This guide is not called Anonymous's Guide for nothing - even though MapleWiki's staff probably know who created this page, I will not say who I am, who my MapleWiki username is, who my MapleStory characters are, and so on. That cleared up, I'll get straight to the point. Mesos. Everyone who plays MapleStory, and probably everyone who is reading this guide, knows what Mesos are. Mesos = Money in MapleStory. And as nearly everyone (particularly the newbies) knows, millions of Mesos are not easy to make within a month. In fact, even with this guide, you still probably won't get to making millions a month. So how do you get that fantastic piece of equipment on sale for 4,455,555 Mesos at the Free Market before it sells out? Well, this guide won't guarantee that you get that item (in fact, there's probably a cheaper copy of the same maplestory item in another store), but it will help you make some Mesos to spend so that you can spend them on that item when you see it. Now, you probably want to see how you can do that, so...

Beware of Scams

This is not a method to make mesos, but the first, basic rule you should be aware of when dealing with your money. In a phrase, this rule will help you keep your mesos safe. In fact, you most probably already know this rule. If you don't, read Scams. The name is self-explanatory.

Scams can happen with pretty much anything you own. You could be scammed out of your money, your equipment, your fame, anything, everything. Even your account, if you're unlucky. Scams don't just take place in MapleStory, though that's what we're focusing on. No, I'm not talking about real-life scams, but MapleStory scams on the internet - like the famous Meso Generator. Anybody fooled by that could lose your account. In fact, they probably would - unless the scammer thinks that your account is useless because you only have low-levelled characters. Back onto scams taking place in the actual game itself, they can happen quite often. Never drop your guard to these scams. If you do, you're taking the quick road to losing all your belongings. Because there is no actual way to detect a scam before it happens. Unless it's like that case where someone thought I was a stupid and tried to scam my items out of me in a trade ("i teach you a trick to duplicate ur items" "drop all ur rare stuff on the trade").

These scams are easily detected by people forewarned against them. Most often, this type of "Cheat Trick" scams happen with newbies, because new players are often ignorant (however this type of scam also betrays their own stupidity; new players rarely have any equipment worth scamming).

If you have a high-levelled character and are reading this, you probably already know about this kind of scam. There are other types of scams, but I won't list them on this page. Just bear in mind that if the scammer actually is smart, there is little you can do to avoid scams short of not trading at all. Of course, if you discover you've been scammed, you can always try reporting him to a Gamemaster. The trouble is that the scammer often flees to other channel after completing their scam. Sometimes you will successfully report them before they escape, but such cases are rare. Scams most often happen when dealing with Fame.

Always Check The Market

This is the second rule you should follow to help you save money when buying or selling. This rule is fairly simple as well. When purchasing items from the free market and you see something that you like, DON'T buy it on the spot. Check through the other shops in the market and see if they have the same thing for a cheaper price. Once, a found a stall selling the same item as the shop next to it nearly five times cheaper. And you shouldn't just go to the stalls in the same map. Search every stall in the entire market. You should still find another of the item you saw. If it is more expensive, then you know either that what you saw before was a good deal or that this is person was just an idiot by selling the item so cheaply. If you didn't find anything else at all like it, then you can consider buying it.

Generally, it is better to buy items by going to Channel 1 Free Market and speaking to the jostling crowd than going into the stalls. This is because stalls generally sell items at a higher price, and there is no way you can bargain down the price when buying in stalls. When you can, you should always make offers to bring the price down. Even if it is only by 10,000 mesos. 10,000 Mesos is alot to the lower-levelled (levels 1-20) characters, and by saving 10,000 mesos every transaction, it will eventually stack up and you'll find yourself with a lot more maple story mesos than if you'd not bargained down the price.

Keep A Space In Your Inventory

Again, this rule is self explanatory. If you're fighting a monster, and a drops a rare item after it dies, you'll want it. Whether to sell or use for your own purposes, you'll want it. But it won't be yours until it is in your inventory. And it can't be in your inventory unless there is a space for it. Even in the case of Etc. items. There isn't much space in your inventory, and there are plenty of Etc items begging for a space, so you should always keep a free space in there for the odd ore or other item you find. If this a weapon or armour, it is even more vital. Equips DO NOT stack, and so you need free space for all new pieces of equipments.

An especially frustrating scenario is when you are trying to free a space in your inventory, and someone else comes along. By the time a space is free, the ten-second limit is up and the other player has walked away with your item.

This often happens in crowded areas, but even in non-crowded spots, you should be careful. Someone may still chance on you. By now, you're probably tired from reading rules that don't actually help you make any money, but don't worry. Here they are.

Making Mesos

Below are small tips and tricks to help you earn, or save more Mesos. Do not look down on them, even if the method seems to give you few mesos, things add up, and you'll soon realize you have more mesos than most others.

Monsters

Of all the methods there are to help you make mesos, this is the simplest. The simplest, the easiest, the most obvious. You have probably already killed a monster and picked up it's drops. This is what this method uses - monsters. Monsters, you and a weapon. This is very easy to do. Equip the weapon, walk up to the monster, press the button you assigned to "attack". Keep pressing until the monster is dead. Well, maybe not quite as simple as that if you don't want to get hurt or you want to use skills, but that's the basis. Just kill monsters for money.

The best side effect of using this method is that you earn EXP in the process, too. Of course, some may be bored by this, as it is repetitive work, and in the case of the Bowman and Thief, may be less productive in the way of money due to the cost of training.

However, Monsters sometimes also drop equipments which can be sold off at the Free Market or to individual players, although it is a rare occurance. If you wish to gain many mesos by using this method, train on monsters that drop valuable items. For example, some train on Red Drakes so you can sell Steelies that you might get. Just remember that you will need to factor in the cost of training, so pick your monsters wisely! That just about covers this entire strategy. Onto the next one:

Faming

Fame. Most will find that this is very popular with high-levelled characters who wish to be at the top of the Fame rankings on the MapleStory website. Some want fame so much that they will even go as far as to buy it. And that is where this method comes in. Fame can be bought, and it can also be sold. Usually, people buy fame for around 100,000 Mesos. Sometimes, they will go so far as to buy it for 1,000,000 Mesos.

But the rules of selling fame are a little different from buying fame. When selling, you want customers. And not many customers can pay 100,000 Mesos for fame they weren't even thinking of getting before you said you were selling it. So lower the price. But not so low as, say, 1000. A good price to set the fame at is 10,000 Mesos (depending on world that you are playing in).

This method does comes with downsides. You will have to be on the look out for scammers. There is no safe way to trade fame between characters, or to trade fame with mesos. Thus when selling/buying fame there has to be trust between both parties, because after recieving the fame/mesos the other character can simply logoff and run away with the fame/mesos. You may only sell fame once a day, so the income you generate from this method is, in a sense, capped.

Trading

The Free Market is a great place to make money in. What I said earlier about checking the Free Market applies double here. What you have to do is find the cheapest rare item or equipment you can afford and buy it. Then sell it to another person for a higher amount. If you do it right, you can get double the amount you paid for, or sometimes even more. Don't try selling it back on the Free Market. With so many people there, it's unlikely anyone will notice you. Even in one of the areas, there will be enough stalls to prevent people from seeing you. Go outside or change channels. With some luck, and enough advertising, you'll get a customer to buy what you've got. The best items to try this with is equipments, since nobody can know where you got it (and trace it back to the free market, where there still might be multiple copies of that cheap equip).

While new players generally do not have alot of money, some still come with a reasonable amount and it is idea to sell them rare items, as there is a good chance they will not know the item's average worth.

Patience and time are required to gain significant mesos. Do not give up. Even if the price seems low enough, always look for people selling it cheaper. Visiting forums will give you a good gauge on the value of an item, as well as the Basil Market website. Buy low sell high is the key to success here.

Events

Try taking advantage of events to gain money. Event items are special, and after that event is over, can go for huge amounts. For example, during the 2006 Valentine's Day event, monsters were programmed to drop Valentine's Roses. While the Yellow Rose was extremely cheap during that time (average price was 1000 Mesos), being the weakest rose, at Christmas, the price would go up. On a another note, during that event, monsters were also programmed to drop Wish Tickets and Red Envelopes. Red Envelopes could be cashed in at a special NPC called "Mr. Moneybags" for a minimum of 1000 Mesos and a maximum of 10,000,000 Mesos. Wish Tickets could also be sold to other players for around 2.5K each during that time, as they could be similarly cashed in at Amoria to Mr. Sandman for various items and equipments.

MapleStory Anniversary events are also to be taken advantage of, as Maple Equips are worth hundreds of thousands of mesos on the Free Market, even if merely Maple Flags. So never underestimate the worth of event items. The simple reason is this: supply stops, demand remains the same, therefore price rises.

Different Classes, Different Strategies

This section lists tips that are specific to different classes.

Beginner

Beginners - well, there aren't any really easy ways to do this, unless you are training to be a Warrior - You will be able to kill Orange Mushrooms with ease around lvl 8-10, which you can find on Maple Island, where you probably are. If you are on Victoria Island, and are still a Beginner, then advance to your class as fast as possible so you can take advantage of some of the other strategies. If you are planning to be Perma-Beginner, try the methods up top.

Warrior

Swordsman (1st job) You deal great damage, so take advantage of it, and kill Orange Mushrooms while others are stuck to Slimes. They will give you more mesos than killing Slimes. In fact, if you have a good enough Swordsman, you can even try slaughtering the monsters around Perion. It's quite possible, with a good enough weapon and well-built character. Though Dark and Dark Axe Stumps are a big step up from Orange Mushrooms and Slimes, it is still possible to kill them with a good level 10+ Swordsman. The monsters around Perion give around 30-50 Mesos and enough experience to boost you into the level 20s.

And when you're at levels 20-25, kill Blue Mushroom and Horny Mushrooms. You should be able to get more mesos than other monsters and you can selling the Blue Mushroom Caps to other players who are doing the quest "Pia and the Blue Mushroom". A suggested selling price is around 100 mesos each, to make a good profit.

There are other ways to get money as a Swordman. Try to max out Slash Blast early, so you can hit more than 1 enemy at once. This allows you to gain mesos more quicky, if you jump into a group of enemies and SB them to death. Also try to kill something that drops equips that you can use, to avoid having to spend money of buying them. Note that Slash Blast takes HP to use, so you should prepare to pay for the cost of healing items or you should put some points into the Warrior's basic healing skills if you want to avoid paying.

Magician

Although there's not too much you can do at the lower levels, at lvl 20-30 you should be the strongest class of all, oweing to your ranged magical attacks (many monsters don't have high Magic Defence) and able to slaughter enemies others wouldn't be able until they're at level 30+. This can be taken advantage of by allowing you to kill the more powerful enemies and claim their plentiful mesos, which should be more than the weaker creatures most other classes are confined to should drop. Also, like with the Warrior, try to kill something that drops equips that you can use, to spare you having to spend the mesos to buy them, though, like all the other classes, if you DO chance upon a rare equip you can't use, you can sell it off for a profit to those who can.

Bowman

With this class, it is somewhat more difficult to make mesos than others. This is because Bowmen don't have overly high strength, don't have skills monsters are weak against, and can't become temporarily immortal, like Thieves. What's more, Bowmen actually consume mesos by needing to spend money for arrows, unless you were lucky and found a Stiff Feather and some Tree Branches or Firewood to take to Vicious to make some arrows with. The one thing they are good at is ranged attacking, however, so that is what you can take advantage of. Find a map you can snipe high levelled enemies at. The map north of Henesys has snipable Blue Mushrooms, and they give good money as well as exp. If you were lucky like me, you may even find they drop a few equips (around level 20 equips) to sell to higher-levelled players.

The Henesys Hunting Grounds on Channel 1 are an excellent place to earn some lazy money. There are plenty of high-levelled grinders there who just kill the monsters and leave the drops (some of the higher-levelled people even leave the ores). While lower-levelled players occasionally pick up dropped equipment, the maplestory mesos are the one thing usually left on the ground. You can just speed through and collect up the mesos left behind by players. Just be careful of Item Vacuum Hackers.

How To Get Rich in MapleStory

2009-11-28T12:55:00.000+08:00

Well people keep on asking me why im "So Rich....". So i decided to make a guide on doing so...

Pots...More pots!POTS

Well I always hear people saying how they can earn money if they are burning pots!

Answer : Kill monsters that drop more mesos and expensive item that cost more than ur pots.... You should also take advantage of you skills For Exp: Mages have Mp Recovery which allow you to stop wasting pots and save mesos but it certainly doesnt save time....(this is how to get rich guide not how to save time..)

Buy/Sell

This is for lucky people who come across noobs... Buy low sell high!

For example: last week i saw a noob selling tobis for 1.5 mil.... NO TIME TO THINK OF YOU MORALS AND TELL TEH NOOB ITS WORTH 2.5 MIL!

You take advantage.... Try to bargain it out with him... tomake it sound like he is over pricing it... if your really lucky he will lower it in my case he did ... he sold the tobi to me for 1.3 mil... easy 1.2 mil gain...

I sold as high as possible at 2.5 mil for tobis...

IF your buying items you should look for the people that been trying to sell a certain item for a long time... the are mostly more easy to suade.. Bargain liek crzy!

Hunt!hUNT~

Hunting is always important but it might make you lose money or gain tremendously

You should hunt something that is easy to kill but drops Godly items

Example: Jr yetis... they drop 60% attk scroll (EASY MONEY!)

I found evil wingz l form were wolves ...lost 10k in pots....(found in 15mins.. i know peopel that lost 10 mil in pots still havent found...)Gained 90+mil

Be Friendly!

This is 2nd or most important! I never defame peopel unless they defame me, annoy me for mroe than 20 mins.....or say a racist joke... Befriend as many people as you can...You never know what you get back...(Random69.... you know what im talking about..)

Loot!

pick up every thing !!!! you are nevr too"pro" to pick up stuff... And if a "pro" doest pick up ask him if you can loot and if he agrees pick up every thing...(Cant wait till pets come out...)

Equipment.....

During low levels you should skip equipment inorder to save but during high levls it is not worth seving a few millions in order to save those mills

WHY? because you will waste that amount on pots...

for Exp: i Just bought a int cap for 5 mil... when kill white pangs i usely take 3 shots with the cape i have 2shots....imagine killing 2 million pangs to lvl ... and let say it take 3 more lvl to take the same effects as my cape... it would take 3 lvl of 3 shot which would add up jsut buying the cape... lvling faster and more efficently thus using less pots... and saving money and gainig maplestory mesos

Conclusion...

Pick up every mesos etc you find... 10 mesos is better than nothing(make that you slogan)

How to Get MapleStory Mesos

2009-11-25T11:33:00.000+08:00

This guide is ONLY for people who are UNfunded. If you are funded, you might find this guide useless since you already have a character with lots of maple story mesos. However, you are always welcome to follow this guide to get even richer.

This guide was made to help people gain mesos. Everyone wants to be rich but people do stupid things to get rich that actually will make them poor. This guide will not gaurentee to make you rich to the point you can buy anything you want but it will get you richer than before.
Some people dislike hunting because it wastes money and slows down your leveling speed. That is because they do not know how to hunt EFFICIENTLY. However, if know how to hunt, you can get rich (based on your luck) really fast. Hunting is like gambling. A person who hunts will level WAY slower than a person who trains. That person will also spend much more money than the other. But the reward for the person who hunts is WAY better than the person who trains.

Mesos Making for Low Levels (lvl 30 or below)

How to save money

There are many ways to save money. The most common way people came up with is to spend less pots while leveling. Lets say you are a warrior and you spend about 100 white pots per level power training. If you conserve your hp pots by resting on a safe spot for your hp to recharge, you will spend 0 white pots and only mana pots (if you use any special attacks). You have just saved 100 * 320 = 32k per level on pots ONLY. For mages, this goes with mp. However, this is NOT recommended if you want to level fast for your 2nd job advance. This is an inefficient way of leveling. Also, the money you spend on pots will probably break even from monster's mesos and drops.

Distributing your ap points can save you tons of maplestory mesos. For warriors and mages, putting points into hp recov/mp recov will save you money from buying pots. Saving points for special attacks (lucky 7, magic claw, double arrow, power slash, etc) also will allow you to spend less pots (example: lvl 10 lucky 7 wastes 8 mp but lvl 11 wastes 11 mp and you only get a lil more damage out of it, so save the next 10 points and put them at the end).

Another way to save money is to buy cheaper equipments. For example, a sin with 4 subis and 2 wolbis wants to get better stars to deal more damage. He goes and buy 4 mokbis and 2 icicles. He deals more damage after the stars but spend more than a million mesos. Why not just stick to your subis and wolbis? At your current level, str/int/luk/dex/matk/watk will not increase your damage to the point you can 2 hit somthing that is 5 levels higher than you. So why bother wasting money on that? Remember, don't waste money IS saving money.

How to gain money

Gaining money could be fun and enjoyable. There are three ways to gain money: getting drops, doing quests, and buying/trading items.

Getting drops: Dropping rate is random. There are no tricks to this. This is based on your luck. If you are lucky, you get more drops. If you are unlucky...too bad for you. I can do nothing about it. If you get less drops than others, don't complain or whine. You are simply unlucky. Besides, getting drops is not the only way to make money. However, you can get better drops than others from different types of monsters that will improve your mesos gain per drop.

Doing Quests: Quests are fun to do (for some people at least). I love doing quests. It is fun and you get good mesos/items out of it. Here are some quests that give you decent mesos/items/exp.

Buying/Trading Items: A very important skill that everyone should learn. This could make you as rich as a lvl 70 person if you do it right. First you buy an item that is cheap, then you sell it for high! It is that easy! But this will waste most of your time gathering information on the average price of items, sellers, and buyers. This is not highly recommended if you are still at a low level (due to low amount of mesos).

Leveling areas that will make you rich

From level 10-20 level at slimes, or pigs if you are in the late 20s

From level 20-30 level at bubblings, octopus, green mushrooms, horn mushrooms, tricksters, brown teddy, drum bunny.

Hunting for Low Levels (lvl 30 or below)

How to hunt efficiently

Always, I mean always, hunt monsters that are no more than 3 levels above your level (for below lvl 30 people). Why? First, your accuracy sucks. Most of the you will be missing against high level monsters. Second, your damage sucks. Last, you will not make that much more mesos out of hunting than training, so why bother? You can hunt with a party of 2 or 3, but that is very uncommon. Infact, I rarely see ANY lvl 30 or below people hunting at...lets say evil eyes. They will lose tons of money and the drops aren't that great. For people who want to hunt at higher monsters like fireboars or curse eyes, YOU WILL GET RAPED. DON'T GO THERE YOU WILL WASTE TONS OF POTS, EXP, AND TIME.

Places to hunt

For level 10-20 hunt at pigs (around 10-13), octopus (around 13-17), bubblings and green mushrooms (around 17-20).

For level 20-30 hunt at dark axed stumps and undead mushrooms (around 20-23), wild boars and evil eyes (around 23-27), brown teddy, tricksters and drum bunny (around 27-30).

Pros/Cons

Pros: More mesos, better drops (if you get lucky)

Cons: VERY slow leveling, low damage, terrible accuracy, waste of money, a high chance of dying.

My recommendation

My recommendation is to get to lvl 30 as fast as possible before even think of hunting. Low level people shouldn't hunt due to their terrible accuracy and damage. Most people would like to get to 2nd job as fast as they can. Until then hunting is very boring and ineffecient.

Mesos Making for High Levels (lvl 30 or above)

How to save money

Basically the same thing with the previous one for low levels, except now you have more money and can buy scrolls and more expensive items. Scroll for weapon could cost up to 800k and scroll for armor could cost up to 4 mil! Scrolling items can be highly rewarded but also devastating. A lucky person might get a 10% glove atk on his/her first try and perfect scroll the rest of the slots with 60%s. An unlucky person might end up with only 1 or 2 60%s to work. The cost for a 60% glove atk is at least 2 mil, 2 * 5 = 10 mil. If only 1 or 2 worked, the price of the glove will go down to as low as 1 mil for the 2 atk and 3 mil for the 4 atk. That is a HUGE lost of money and it might happen to anyone. Yes that means you too. I had an experience when I wanted to get a 10% glove for dex to work on a clean wg, so i purchased 32 10% glove dex and made 32 wg (around 3.5 mil). None of the scrolls worked. Don't try your luck with scrolls UNLESS you are rich enough to buy all your weapons/equipments and your scrolls and still have leftovers for another set of equipements and pots. Rather than trying your luck, you can always buy a prescrolled weapon/armor. People tend to sell them for more than the total cost of the equipement and scrolls (if it is decent scrolled) because they got the scrolls to work. Save up your money and buy a GOOD prescrolled armor/weapon that will last you for at least 5 levels. This way you can level up faster and be able to actually sell your item due to high demands for prescrolled items.

How to gain money

Now you are past the first job you should have no problem getting money to afford pots. However, if you want decent weapons and equipments you better know how to gain money or else it will take you ages to get your dream weapon and equipment. Ways of gaining money I've already mentioned in my previous paragraphs are buy/sell, scrolling, quests, and getting drops. All the above 30 quests are mostly profeitable. Trading is a bit different from below level 30. Now you have enough money to invest on better items such as scrolled weapons/equipments, scrolls, ores, and quest items.

If you don't gain money, don't give up. My opinion, level 30-40 is the HARDEST and MOST BORING period of levels. You will depend on drops from evil eyes, boars, fire boars, jr kitties, and curse eyes (exluding the ludi monsters because I do not know their level of efficiency of training) and they drop barely any good equipments that will make you rich. From level 40 to 50, training might still get dull, but the drops aren't as bad. Now, from level 50 to 60 you will notice that you will gain a HUGE amount of maplestory mesos from drops. From level 30-40 I barely made a million, level 40-50 around 3 million, level 50-60 30 million. My point is if you think you are not getting rich from level 30-50, bare the hardships, because after that period you will find your wallet overflooded with mesos.

Leveling areas that will make you rich

From level 30-40 level at brown teddy, drum bunny, fire boars, jr kitties, dark letties, lorangs, latz, pink teddy, Roloduck, Tick, Panda Teddy, Chronos

From level 40-50 level at fire boars, copper drakes, jr pepes, lunar pixies, chronos, zombie lupins, tick tock, Platoon Chronos, Tobo

From level 50-60 level at drakes, clang, umti, wraiths, jr yeti, kitties, hectors, lunar pixies, Platoon Chronos, Master Chronos, Tobo, Master Robo

From level 60-70 level at cargos, tauromacis, dark stone gollems, yetis, white pangs, Soul Teddy, Master Soul Teddy, Buffy, Lazy Buffy

From level 70+ level at...anywhere you want (except for bains, thantos, gatekeeper, Papulatus until 80/90 ish)

Hunting for High Levels (lvl 30 or above)

How to hunt efficiently

Hunt monsters that you can kill within 5 hits that usually have low kb or speed from level 30-60. 70+ you can hunt any monsters you want as long as you don't get killed within 3 hits. Party would be REALLy helpful for hunts. Always have a cleric or an assasin in your party, or both in a big hunt.

Places to hunt

Some places to hunt for level 60 or below are yetis, dark yetis, cargos, tauromacis, taurospears, werewovles, Soul Teddy, Master Soul Teddy, Buffy, Lazy Buffy, Klock, Lucidias, Cerebes

Places to hunt for level 60+ are tauromacis, yetis, dark yetis, Lucidias, Cerebes, ynp, dark ynp, werewolves, lycanthropes, jr rog, c rog, Buffoon, dark klock, deep buffroon, bains, Ghost Pirate, death teddy, master death teddy, dual ghost pirate, Spirit Viking, Phantom Watch, Grim Phantom Watch, Gigantic Spirit Viking, Thantos, Gatekeeper

Pros/Cons

Pros: way better drops than regular training, fun, more maplestory mesos per monster

Cons: wastes time, spends more money on pots than regular training, chance of dying
