===================== Magician FAQ Ver.- 0.95 By Iggy aka Jankanpo ===================== This is my first FAQ, so please forgive me for doing something miraculously stupid. Oh, and when I was submitting this, I had to scrunch everything (since my laptop has a differnt sized screen- than other computers) A regular computer is half of my monitor, so SORRY! =( --- TABLE OF CONTENTS 1- Short intro of Maple Story and Magician (SIMSM) 2- Creating an Ideal Character 3- How to become a magician 4- Skills 5- Skill Trees 6- Training Spots 7- How to Get to Sleepywood 8- Equipment List 9- After Magician 10- Copyright Stuff Etc. 11- Special Thanks 12- Other stuff --- =SIMSM= Ok.Maple Story is basically a free MMORPG that was first started in Korea a while ago. In Maple Story you kill various enemies to become the strongest. It may sound a bit boring, but it's actually quite addicting later in the game when you have the power to wield a variety of spells, and you can shape your own way to destroy the enemies. The magician. In short the magician is a spellcaster (as in they cast... spells o_o). They are not meant for physical strength, but they are known for being able to wipe a map clean without being hurt at all with long ranged spells. --- =Creating an Ideal Character= Keep rolling that dice! The stats of an ideal magician is the best stat is INT (Intelligence) and second best is LUK (Luck). Forget about STR (Strength) and DEX (Dexterity). In other words, 'perfect mages' are those that roll 4 STR and 4 DEX. An alright character can have 4 STR/5 DEX, 5 STR/4 DEX, or even 5 STR and 5 DEX. After creating your character, whenever you level keep your LUK +3 above your level so you have just enough to equip things, while putting the rest of the points into INT to maximize your damage. --- =How to become a magician= To become a magician, you have to go from the beginning island (Maple Island) to Victoria Island. But FIRST level up at Maple Island till lvl 8. Be sure to train INT to at least 20. Do NOT upgrade anything else (unless you want to put some points into MP, which is not recommended). Upon arriving at Victoria Island at Lith Harbor you have to get to Ellinia (magician town). There are several ways to getting there. 1. You head east to Henesys (the bowman town) and then from there keep heading east to Ellinia. (You know when you arrive from the tree background) 2. Take the cab in Lith Harbor to Ellinia for a fee. (Double click on the taxi and then select Ellina) 3. Find someone selling a scroll to Ellinia, and trade with them. Type in /trade 'playersname'. Go to your inventory depending on the key it's set to, and go to the 'Use' tab. Find the scroll and double click on it. When you finally get to Ellinia, jump/climb to the top of the map. At the top of the map, enter the house up there. Talk to the floating old guy and if you followed my directions of being level 8 and having at least 20 INT, congrats! You are now officially a magician. --- =Skills= Yay! Now that you are a magician, open up your skills menu with the button you chose to open it. When you first become a magician, you are granted one Skill Point (SP). Put this skill into 'Energy Bolt'. Click on the arrow next to Energy Bolt just as you would to for stats. Click and hold on the picture of the Energy Bolt and drag it to a easily accessible hotkey (same way as you do with items). Well, every time you level up, you gain THREE (3) WHOLE SP! Here is the list of skills you can get and what each one does. HOW TO READ THIS CHART!! Name of Skill (Master Level [Maxed SP Amt.])- Description Improving MP Recovery (16)- Each skill point here increases the amount of MP you regain every 10 seconds by 1. Every level you automatically get +1 to MP increase anyways! This is considered one of the best skills for magician because to even CAST skills, you need MP to do so, when you run out, you have to wait for awhile to gain it all back. This speeds up the process. Improving Max MP Increase (10)- When you level up, your MP bar increases. If you put SP into this skill, you gain more MP when you level up AND whenever you increase the MP stat, it gives extra MP also. This skill is locked out at first and requires you to put in 5 SP into Improving MP Recovery before you can start increasing this stat. Magic Guard (20)- This is a casting spell where if you are hit, the damage will be taken off of your MP bar instead of your HP, which is really useful when you have a ton of MP to spare. Magic Armor (20)- This spell, when casted, increases the users defence against weapons. I never really tested this one out, but I heard it wouldn't really matter later on in the game. Energy Bolt (20)- The basic attack spell. It shoots out blue bolts at your enemies. Beware, for the MP cost doubles at 11. Magic Claw (20)- A more advanced and costlier attack spell than Energy Bolt. This skill and Energy Bolt is constantly debated at which is better. Magic Claw I would recommend due to the fact that it has a low delay time between castings. It also doubles at 11, but I would still max this out, because it's sexy >_>. --- =Skill Tree= These are just some samples. You do NOT need to follow a skill tree. Be unique! Just as long as you have fun. ^^; Level -- Skill Point Distribution (SP)/Name of Skills - SKILL TREE A I call this the 'hell' path, or the true path to what people call a 'perfect' magician. They usually have friends to leech exp off of to level. I reccomend this to people who already made a semi-high level character. 8- 1 SP into MP Recovery 9- 3 SP into MP Recovery 10- 1 SP into MP Recovery, 2 SP into MP Increase 11- 3 SP into MP Increase 12- 3 SP into MP Increase 13- 2 SP into MP Increase (Maxed.), 1 SP into MP Recovery 14- 3 SP into MP Recovery 15- 3 SP into MP Recovery 16- 3 SP into MP Recovery 17- 1 SP into MP Recovery (Maxed.), 1 SP into Energy Bolt, 1 SP into Magic Claw 18- 3 SP into Magic Claw 19- 3 SP into Magic Claw 20- 3 SP into Magic Claw 21- Save SP (Due to Magic Claw doubles mp after lvl 10) 22- Save SP 23- 9 SP into Magic Claw 24- 1 SP into Magic Claw (Maxed.), 2 SP into Magic Guard 25- 3 SP into Magic Guard 26- 3 SP into Magic Guard 27- 3 SP into Magic Guard 28- 3 SP into Magic Guard 29- 3 SP into Magic Guard 30- 3 SP into Magic Guard (Maxed.) - SKILL TREE B This is the more *ahem* sane build up. 8- 1 SP into Energy Bolt 9- 3 SP into MP Recovery 10- 2 SP into MP Recovery, 1 SP into MP Increase 11- 3 SP into MP Increase 12- 3 SP into MP Increase 13- 3 SP into MP Increase (Maxed.) 14- 3 SP into MP Recovery 15- 3 SP into MP Recovery 16- 3 SP into MP Recovery 17- 2 SP into MP Recovery (Maxed.), 1 SP into Magic Claw 18- 3 SP into Magic Claw 19- 3 SP into Magic Claw 20- 3 SP into Magic Claw 21- Save SP (Due to Magic Claw doubles mp after lvl 10) 22- Save SP 23- 9 SP into Magic Claw 24- 1 SP into Magic Claw (Maxed.), 2 SP into Magic Guard 25- 3 SP into Magic Guard 26- 3 SP into Magic Guard 27- 3 SP into Magic Guard 28- 3 SP into Magic Guard 29- 3 SP into Magic Guard 30- 3 SP into Magic Guard (Maxed.) - SKILL TREE C This is more quick training but low mp outcome later on. I seriously mean, LOW mp outcome later. (Like 1k less than norm.?) Also, you get to show off Magic Armor. =P 8- 1 SP into Energy Bolt 9- 3 SP into Magic Claw 10- 3 SP into Magic Claw 11- 3 SP into Magic Claw 12- 3 SP into Magic Claw 13- 3 SP into Magic Claw 14- 3 SP into Magic Claw 15- 2 SP into Magic Claw (Maxed.), 1 SP into MP Recovery 16- 3 SP into MP Recovery 17- 3 SP into MP Recovery 18- 3 SP into MP Recovery 19- 3 SP into MP Recovery 20- 3 SP into MP Recovery (Maxed.) 21- 3 SP into Energy Bolt 22- 3 SP into Energy Bolt 23- 3 SP into Energy Bolt 24- 3 SP into Magic Guard 25- 3 SP into Magic Guard 26- 3 SP into Magic Guard 27- 3 SP into Magic Guard 28- 3 SP into Magic Guard 29- 3 SP into Magic Guard 30- 2 SP into Magic Guard (Maxed.), 1 SP into Magic Armor - SKILL TREE D This is for people who like balence in their defence. It's very interesting, due to it balences Magic Armor and Guard so that Guard doesn't immediatly drain you out of MP. I don't recommend this one, as I just created it out of the top of my head. It does seem practical though. 8- 1 SP into Energy Bolt 9- 3 SP into MP Recovery 10- 2 SP into MP Recovery, 1 SP into MP Increase 11- 3 SP into MP Increase 12- 3 SP into MP Increase 13- 3 SP into MP Increase (Maxed.) 14- 3 SP into MP Recovery 15- 3 SP into MP Recovery 16- 3 SP into MP Recovery 17- 2 SP into MP Recovery (Maxed.), 1 SP into Magic Claw 18- 3 SP into Magic Claw 19- 3 SP into Magic Claw 20- 3 SP into Magic Claw 21- Save SP (Due to Magic Claw doubles mp after lvl 10) 22- Save SP 23- 9 SP into Magic Claw 24- 1 SP into Magic Claw (Maxed.), 2 SP into Magic Guard 25- 3 SP into Magic Guard 26- 3 SP into Magic Guard 27- 2 SP into Magic Guard, 1 SP into Magic Armor 28- 3 SP into Magic Armor 29- 3 SP into Magic Armor 30- 3 SP into Magic Armor - FOR ALL OF THESE SKILL CHARTS, YOU STILL DISTRIBUTE AP BY GOING LUK +3 YOUR LEVEL, WHILE THE REST GET'S DUMPED INTO INT. --- =Training Spots= Well, I'm lazy, so i'll just create a little chart. THE CHART O_O;; Level 8-12 --> I recommend going after snails which are EVERYWHERE and Green Slimes (Located around Ellinia). Explore around and you should find a tree FULL of slimes which is 2 maps west of Ellinia. Level 13-15 --> At this point, you could keep going back to the slime tree I mentioned or attack those tree-like monsters. Hitting lower level monsters and killing them in one hit, while gaining meager experience is better than spending a minute attacking a huge monster and wasting your MP. Trees are located around Ellinia, Henesys, Perion (Warrior town), and Kerning City (Rogue town). Level 16-20 --> I would recommend to start going after those green capped mushrooms and blue horny mushrooms (Don't you dare think dirty thoughts >_<). There are trees around Ellinia filled with safe spots for you to shoot them at, but most of them are crowded. You can go back and kill all those weaker monsters too. Level 21-27 --> Pig Beach. This info is directly from zephy84 who is a veteran and played the Korean version for a while. "Well, Pig Beach is... hard to explain lol. I'll try my best. First of all, it can be entered from the map Three Branched Road, or whatever it is called, which is between Lyth Harbour, Kerning City and Henesys. From there you push up at the place where lots of yellow flowers are. The flowers are on a small platform which is located middle-downside. Well, it would be a little bit hard to find. There are lots and lots of pigs, ribbon pigs (even more than east of Henesys) some snails, and ONE IRONHOG. This ironhog will be respawned every hour or two hours, but because I guess there are no ones yet to kill it, so it will be just THERE Just be careful of the ironhog and the place is really nice." -Zephy84 Or like all other levels... Kill the monsters you've been killing before in great numbers. Also Land of Wild Boar, which is a hidden street is good exp. (Look at Hidden Street Guide.) Level 28-30 --> From my personal experiences, I recommend the 'Ant Tunnels' which is located to the east of Sleepywood (The place in the center of the map). Just don't go TOO far into the tunnels or your doomed. DOOMED O_O Random Note: Train anywhere where you can kill things with around 1-2 shots, with decent exp. Or just stay at Henesys Hunting Grounds (HHG) which is located 1 screen west of Henesys. Also the party quest in Kerning City is a GREAT place to level. Check the next section on how to GET to Sleepywood. --- =How to Get to Sleepywood= HELP THANKS TO- chromax, DiabloTerrorGF, and InvalidUser Lith Harbor- Pay 10k for a VIP taxi. (It's one way and one time). Now your at the 24 hour store in the middle of the Ant Tunnels. Either survive and keep going east, or die and appear in Sleepywood. Kerning- Go through sewers and head east, ta daa, your there. Ellinia- VIP taxi (Same as Lith) Perion- "Dungeon Entrance (Bottom right portal in city area)" -DiabloTerrorGF Henesys- "Upper right exit. Go straight till you reach Luke, go in, then go straight and drop down to the gate. Go in. Bing, you're there." -InvalidUser Anywhere- Find someone with a Sleepywood scroll and buy it from them, then use it. TIP- Bring a scroll with you to teleport back to a town >_< (Ellinia, Perion, Henesys, etc.) Unless you want to go through a forest of doom to go back. Or pay for an overpriced scroll. --- =Equipment= Info.

*cheering*! First, go back to Ellinia and talk to that old guy (Hines). He tell's you to go talk to someone in the north forest by Ellinia. Go to screens north and travel all the way to the top. There should be an old hobo (why else would he live in a tree?) that look's slightly like Gandalf. Talk to him, and he will ask what class you want to advance to. There should be a fire/poison, lightning/ice, and cleric choices. Choose one and keep adventuring! --- =Copyright Stuff Etc.= Unpublished work Copyright (c) 2004 Jankanpo aka Iggy The guidelines for using this FAQ are simple; don't sell it or give it away, don't reprint it without obtaining permission, and don't bother posting it on a website (I'm only releasing it for www.GameFAQs.com to host).

I live on Hawaii, so stalk away. ^^; My interest in Maple Story was when Gfaqs user Towerz posted in the Gunbound message board, and I downloaded the game. My first character is a thief, so stop asking. I made this FAQ just because my friends said I wouldn't have the willpower to type half a page. I guess I showed them, eh? Contact Info- jankanpo@hotmail.com I'm ok with flames, just don't spam please. If you see a major error, please mail me. Version History- 0.1- Got the begenning info and equipment done 0.5- Collected enough info to finish the rest of this guide 0.9- Added what to do after magician 0.95- Edit/Reupdates CURRENT ingame name- Jankanpo (Cleric) [If you see me, say Hi >_<] Tips from Me- Don't mess with Mushmom until your at a high second job - Make sure an enemy doesn't spawn in your resting spot - MP Increase is pretty good if your willing to take the hate at the begenning - Don't kill steal - NEVER use a bot or hack, it doesn't matter if the person says they 'masked' it or are invisible to GMs. That's not true at all. They monitor EVERYTHING. - Never give your Account ID or Pass to ANYONE. - Don't accept an account from someone you don't know, due to they can retrieve the account back at any time. - If it's pretty empty in an area, please DO NOT spam like a moron, "SELLING CRAP@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@", for if I see you reposting that over and over, when there's basically noone around, I WILL defame you, and ask others to do so too. - Don't randomly defame people, or you'll cause unneeded drama, since basically half the Maple populence is Gfaqs and Sleepywood, we'll get you good if there's no good reason. (: - If you encounter an idiot, please don't respond to them, just leave the area, or change channels. - If your stupid enough to drop something in the middle of a crowded area, or anywhere for that matter, it's your own fault for losing it in the first place. Don't blame the person that picks it up. It's anyone's if you drop it. - Following people around the map is stupid. Especially if they are a higher level than you. - Magic Claw > Bolts D: --- ___ _____ _____ _____ _____ / _ \ / ___|/ __ \|_ _||_ _| / /_\ \\ `--. | / \/ | | | | | _ | `--. \| | | | | | | | | |/\__/ /| \__/\ _| |_ _| |_ \_| |_/\____/ \____/ \___/ \___/ ___ _ / _ \ | | / /_\ \ _ __ | |_ | _ || '__|| __| | | | || | | |_ \_| |_/|_| \__| _____ _ / ___| | | \ `--. _ _ ___ | | __ ___ `--. \| | | | / __|| |/ // __| /\__/ /| |_| || (__ | < \__ \ \____/ \__,_| \___||_|\_\|___/
