Maplestory Thief Guide - The 3rd Job Advancement

When you finally get to level 70, you'll be ready for the next job advancement. This is when you become even more powerful than you were before, gaining new skills and more strength as a reward for leveling up so high. At this point you will become either a Hermit or a Chief Bandit. Hermits are ranged attackers while Chief Bandits are very fast melee characters. Both have their advantages and disadvantages.
To actually obtain the 3rd job, go to El Nath and talk to Arec at the Chief Residence. When you're done with him, make the trip to Victoria Island and talk to the Dark Lord once again in Kerning City. After talking to him, go to Monkey Swamp II, where you'll find the Door of Dimension. Go inside and fight the Dark Lord's evil side, obtaining the Black Charm for defeating him.
Go talk to the Dark Lord again and give him the Black Charm, and he'll give you a Necklace of Strength in return. Give this to Arec and then go to Sharp Cliff II and enter the door in the top-right corner of the map. There should be a big rock in this area. Next, you need to talk to it using a Dark Crystal, and it'll then ask you five questions. After answering them, you'll be given a Necklace of Wisdom. Go all the way back to Arec and give your newly obtained necklace to him. You'll get the 3rd job advancement after talking to him for a bit.

MapleStory Mesos Guide

The ability to make Mesos fast is very important when you are playing MapleStory because having lots of mesos allow you to buy the best armour in the game, acquire the best weapons which in return will allow you to level faster.
Owning lots of mesos will mean that you can always buy the coolest looking gear to impress all your MapleStory friends!
However, making mesos is only half the story of becoming a MapleStory Billionaire. You must also learn how to save your mesos, turn your mesos into more mesos and to avoid being scammed out of all your hard-earned money!
Today, let's talk about the basics of making Mesos for those who do not already have lots of mesos. If you do not have lots of mesos for your MapleStory characters, then you need to first learn how to make more Mesos.
Just like being in a real life, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. There are several key points which will help to make you a MapleStory Mesos Billionaire faster!
They are:
1. Fighting Monsters for Mesos
2. Questing for Mesos
3. Merchanting
4. Running the Business
5. Cash Shop
To keep this article short, let's only talk about Questing for Mesos in MapleStory.
Questing for Mesos:
Rewards from quests are an easy way to make millions of Mesos. Some quests give rewards that range easily into millions of mesos!
Also, Questing in MapleStory is not just about making more mesos, you can also get great EXP points out of doing quests and they are a lot more fun than just repeated grinding!
There are many great mesos-making quests inside MapleStory that can make you a few Millions and one of them is as follows:
Quest name: John's Pink Flowering Basket
Location: Victoria Island, Lith Harbour

Maplestory Warrior Guide

By the time you reach level 30 as a warrior in Maplestory, you're ready to go on to your 2nd job advancement. In order to get the 2nd job advancement, you need to pass a test and then choose one of three jobs.
Remember Dances with Balrog? Go back to Perion and talk to him. After doing so, head west until the music changes (about two "screens"). Then go up for a while until you see someone standing. Talk to this man and he'll take you to the testing area, where you'll be fighting Lupins and Fire Boars. These are a little different from the ones you normally find, but they have less HP. In order to always land a hit on them, you need 43 points in accuracy. If you don't meet that, buy some sniper potions and use them to boost your accuracy during the test. You don't need to fight both types of monsters, so it's recommended that you fight only the Fire Boars as the Lupins can be difficult to kill.
These monsters drop marbles, and you need 30 of them in order to prove your worth. After you've collected them all, talk to the guy in the testing area and he'll give you an item called Proof of Hero. Take that item to Dances with Balrog and at last, he'll let you choose whether you want to be a Fighter, a Page, or a Spearman.
Fighters and Pages are essentially the same until you reach level 50, but Spearmen are considerably worse for a while. For this reason, most people choose to be Fighters or Pages at this point. From levels 50-70 Spearmen eventually catch up, while, as it turns out, Pages actually become the weakest in the end. Fighters become the strongest with a skill called Rage.
Fighters can deal a huge amount of damage with one hit, Spearmen can kill multiple enemies quicker than the other two jobs, and Pages can use cool elemental attacks. Choose which one suits you.

Seaserpen's Maplestory Shop Permit Guide

Obtaining a shop permit is the most direct, and often easiest method of making mesos. It is not uncommon to see people in the fm(free market) asking how to set up shop and how to get it. The following is a walkthrough of how to obtain a permit and the basics of how to use it.
The first thing you need to know is that, in most versions of Maple Story, it costs real money to purchase a store permit. Important note: Due to a change in a recent patch there is a Level 16 (lvl 16) requirement for shop permits in Global Maple Story (gms) and likely in other versions of Maple Story as well.
There are, apparently, 1 or 2 versions of Maple Story which allow some form of item exchange for "cash shop points". In this guide, and Maple Story Global, the exchange system is called the Maple Trading System (mts).
To acquire the "points", also known as nxcash, a-cash, or whatever is used as cash for the version you are playing (Call them points or "cash shop points".) you have to log onto the website where you obtained your version of Maple Story and follow the website directions to pay for and receive your "cash shop points".

Maplestory magician. Because of this

This Maplestory Magician Guide will cover a few steps that will have you well on your way to becoming an amazing magician.
Here are a few things to keep in mind as you build your magician:
Put the majority of your AP into INT
Keep your STR and DEX to a minimum, just so you can equip items
Make sure your stats are correctly distributed at the beginning
Now, onto the easy Maplestory magician guide:
Step 1: Distribute your stats when you create your character
In case you don't already know, now your stats are redistributed when you become a Maplestory magician. Because of this, it is best to distribute your stats accordingly in order to leave the beginner area quickly:
When you level up add 1 point to DEX and the rest to STR until you reach level 8 and become a magician. This will ensure quick leveling until then.
After you become a magician, your stat points will be reset so you have only 4 STR and 4 DEX, which is ideal for all Maplestory magicians.
Step 2: Distribute your stats after becoming a Maplestory magician
When you become a magician, you will definitely want to make it so your LUK is 3 more points than your level. So, for example, if you're at level 10, your LUK should be 13. That way you will be able to wear the best equipment for your level. Some magicians have no points put into LUK. These are called LUKless magicians, but they are usually played by more experienced players.
Step 3: Train for the best
You will definitely want to train hard as a magician. Most magicians become frustrated early on because they feel they aren't doing enough damage, but this is normal in the first few levels. As your character grows, he will be able to do much, much more damage. It is well known that Maplestory magicians can have the coolest and some of the most powerful attacks, harming multiple enemies at once at either short or long range. Make sure you continue to train and use the highest level equipment that you can.

Maplestory Leveling Guide - Thief Job

In this Maplestory leveling guide, you'll learn about the best places to level up, and how to best build your Maplestory thief up to even the 3rd job advancement. Remember that thieves can be the most expensive class to play, but it's well worth it in the end because they become one of the richest jobs in the game.
1st Job Advancement
When you reach level 10, you become a rogue by talking to the Dark Lord. Now you're even more powerful than before, so congratulations! But you probably don't know where to go from here, and you don't want to fall behind, right? So here are a few places where you can go to level up after getting the 1st job advancement, in order as you level up:
At the slime tree in Ellinia,
Killing pigs at pig beach,
Party questing at Kearning, and
At the mini dungeon in Ant Tunnel II
If you train in these areas, you will get stronger much more quickly than the rest. Make sure you don't share this secret!
Building Your Thief
As you level up in Maplestory as a thief, you will want to build up your stats correctly, or else everything will become very difficult. If you want to make things as easy as possible for yourself, make sure you always put 2 points into DEX and 3 points into LUK until you reach level 42. After that, you put 1 point into DEX and four points into LUK with each level up.
For the 1st job advancement, you need to pump skill points into Lucky Seven until you reach the max, and then max out Keen Eyes, and after that max out Nimble Body. When you're done with Nimble Body, add 3 levels to Disorder and then get Dark Sight to level 10. By the time you finish all of this, you should have reached the thief 2nd job advancement.

Maplestory Hit Point (HP) And Magic Point

Though the basics of various techniques, equations and ideas for Hit Point (HP) washing in Maplestory are covered in other articles, there are other facts, figures and questions that might not have been addressed in the other articles.
To start things off, here are some HP numbers that may be important milestones for various situations. Unless stated for otherwise, these will be applied to most classes other than mages. Mages get a skill that allows them to reduce the amount of damage taken to HP and apply it to MP. Warriors also get power guard which helps with physical damage (generally walking into a monster) but it doesn't help with magic damage.
*3.6k HP - able to survive a hit from Crimson Balrogs and left Pianus's attacks. *3.7k HP - Safely take one hit from skelegons. This is the "end game" training monster for a lot of classes. In some versions of Maplestory, it's no longer "the best" but is still often used. *4.1k HP - able to survive Papulutus's bombs making for easy solos or hb-less parties. Also enough HP for most major bosses

Maplestory Shop Permit Guide

Obtaining a shop permit is the most direct, and often easiest method of making mesos. It is not uncommon to see people in the fm(free market) asking how to set up shop and how to get it. The following is a walkthrough of how to obtain a permit and the basics of how to use it.
The first thing you need to know is that, in most versions of Maple Story, it costs real money to purchase a store permit. Important note: Due to a change in a recent patch there is a Level 16 (lvl 16) requirement for shop permits in Global Maple Story (gms) and likely in other versions of Maple Story as well.

Normally there are a variety of store permits

Generally you can obtain "cash shop points" through the opening page of the website. You are not quite done yet. After you get your points, you need to log back into in the game. Just follow the steps outlined below:
1) Enter the cash shop
2) Select the ETC tab,
3) Then select the store sub tab.
In this section you should see, at least 1 kind of shop permit, as well as several other shop related items. Just click buy on the shop permit you want and follow the instructions in the game.
4) Choose your desired Store Permit and follow the directions.
Normally there are a variety of store permits to choose from; however, there are factors you should consider before making your purchase. Obviously you will have to have enough money for the permit. The cheapest of the store permits on Global Maple Story is roughly pennies a day, and the most expensive permit, if used on a daily basis, costs approximately a dollar a day. You must also consider your other resources, such as, the amount of time you have access to your computer, your computer's stability, and your network stability.

Let were Malestory contiue guides!

Fourth and Fifth parts are the left/right heads, completely identical to the preliminary heads, minus the super knockback. Namely the breath attacks dealing 5,300 damage. HP1/MP1 as well, though unlike the preliminary heads, these two do not cast seduce. They summon red, blue and black Wyverns at about 75%, 50% and 25% HP respectively.
Sixth part is the middle head, almost identical to the left and right ones except with more HP. It also casts full map dispel at 50% HP. It also summons Wyverns just like the other two heads.
Finally, the Seventh and Eighth parts are the left and right arms. These will cast status effects throughout the whole fight, but their more annoying trait is the mana burn skill. Which deals 1 damage, but burns around 2,000 MP. They also cast mass seduce at 50% HP, which seduces the first 10 people to sign up.

Which have rather high touch damage

Horntail is a monstrous dragon with an incredible amount of power, it is easily capable of crushing unprepared parties. Though with a properly prepared and organized party it is not nearly as difficult as it looks. The Horntail fight occurs in three stages, though the third stage consists of many parts of its own. The first two stages are the preliminary heads, which pale in comparison to what will follow. The third part is the real thing, far far harder than the prelims. The third stage is naturally Horntail itself, which is comprised of several parts. These parts need to be defeated in a certain order.
The first part is the legs, which have rather high touch damage (around 14,000) and two kinds of stomp. The first kind is a super knock back attack, the second type is a stun attack. They both deal the same damage, around 7,700 unbuffed and 9,800 buffed.
Second part is the tail, which has an absolutely insane touch damage (over 30,000 when buffed) it also has a poison gas attack which deals damage every second, though it's insignificant.
Third part is the wings, which summon Cornians occasionally. But the main worry about the wings is the attack buff it gives every other part. Once the wings die, its fairly smooth for the rest of the fight.

where you will find extra powerful

If you've been training up well in MapleStory, you've probably reached the time when you will be able to advance to the 2nd job advancement.
It is a good idea to note that at level 30, a magician is much more powerful than the other classes. This puts you at an advantage and you may be able to level up faster at this point.
So once you reach level 30, you will want to return to Ellinia and speak to Grendel the Really Old. After talking to him, he will send you to the 2nd job advancement instructor in The Forest North of Ellinia. Talk to him and he will take you into a tree, where you will find extra powerful horned mushrooms and curse eyes. They drop dark marbles, so pick those up until you get 30 of them. When you finish with that, talk to the instructor and he will send you back to Grendel the Really Old after giving you a Proof of a Hero. Grendel will see your new item and then he will ask you which path you want to take.
Most people don't choose fire/poison, but it isn't bad in any way. Ice mages can freeze and kill their enemies quickly, and lightning comes with that class as well. In fact, lightning attacks allow you to kill up to 6 enemies at once, which is very powerful and useful to say the least. The last 2nd job advancement choice you could make is to become a Cleric, which eventually becomes very, very rich. You will also have the responsibility of healing your party in party quests.

Maplestory Dragon Knight

After reaching level 70, obtain a Dark Crystal. Travel all the way to Orbis and head down Orbis Tower in order to get to El Nath. At El Nath, look for the highest portal on the map and go inside it. There will be three people inside it, one of which is named Tylus. Speak to him and then return to Dances with Balrog, who you should find in Perion. When you speak to him, he will teleport you to a dungeon. Walk through it until you reach the 24 hour store, named Ant Tunnel park. Find the Door of Dimensions and go inside.
Go to the end of the area you just got to, you should find the Dark Warrior. He will drop a black charm when you defeat him.
Go back to Dances with Balrog and give him the Black Charm. He will take it from you and in return, he will give you a Necklace of Strength, which you need to bring back to Tylus in El Nath. When you finish doing so, leave El Nath using a door to the right. Keep heading through portals until you reach the map titled "El Nath: Ice Valley II". Go to the very top until you reach a portal to Sharp Cliff 2. When you get there, you will have to find a secret portal in the top right part of the map, so just keep pressing up in that area until you find it. When you get inside, you'll be in the map "Holy Ground at the Snowfield". Find and double click on the green dot and you will have to answer five questions.

Hired merchants have different guides

The regular store permit requires your computer to be on and logged into the Maple Story with your character present in the free market, only allowing you to chat. This is the cheapest permit and the preferred one if you have the computer resources and the money. If you do not have a stable computer and/or internet connection, this may not be the choice for you.
The hired merchant is probably a better choice If you have limited computer access. Though hired merchants have different styles and durations, they all have the same basic function, that is, to "sell" your wares for you. You do not have to be logged on or even present in the free market to make use of a hired merchant. Hired merchants have different "looks" that you can choose from, the most common of which, is a mushroom looking shop. There are also "robot" shops and coffee shops as in GMS. The hired merchant is the best option if you only have one computer and do not have continuous access to a computer, or a stable setup. The downside of the hired merchant is that it costs more and has to be reset at least once every 24 hrs.
5) After you've purchased the permit, you have to move the permit from your cash item list to your inventory. Double-clicking on the permit will place it in your inventory.
6) Once your permit is safely a part of your inventory, you need only double click on the permit when you reach a position in the game where you can open a shop. For example you locate a spot in the free market rooms. When you have located a spot, simply add a name for your shop and click open.

Maple Story Guides

Maplestory Warrior Guide

In Maplestory, the warrior is known for being the class with the most strength. If you want to have the perfect warrior build, this guide will teach you how.
Starting Out
When you get to the character creation screen and you're rolling your stats, don't just go for the highest strength and leave it at that. Warriors need to have specific stats for good builds. If you ignore these stats, you'll have a hard time getting to the top, and you probably won't even be able to. So, here's what you need to know about rolling your stats.
When you roll for your warrior, make sure the INT and LUK stats are both 4. This will take some time and patience, but you'll eventually roll those two numbers. If you really want to roll for the absolute perfect warrior, you'll have to keep rolling until you get 12 or more STR, 4 INT and 4 LUK, but you'll need to have another character backing him with financial support. If the absolute perfect warrior doesn't matter that much to you, just keep rolling until your STR is the highest and DEX isn't too much lower, say, three or four points.
1st Job Advancement
After you create your warrior, keep fighting until you reach level 10 and have 35 points in your strength stat. When you do, run over to Southperry and talk to a guy name Shanks there. Pay his 150 meso fee or complete his quest to travel to Victoria island. When you get there, move to the left of Lith Harbor and talk to Phil when you see him. Have him take you to Perion and climb to the very top, where you'll see a tent. Go inside and talk to Dances with Balrog, and from there you'll be well on your way to the 1st job advancement!

Maple Story Bowman Guide

When you first start your Bowman character, every time you level up, you will receive 5 ability points to add stats.
You want to know how to use these ability points from the very start to make sure that your Bowman is at his full power.
When you level up, click on "F" on the keyboard to bring up your stat screen, this is where you will be able to allocate your points into the stats of your choice.
The main stat for a Bowman is DEX, although in order to use certain armour for a Bowman, you must have high enough strength.
Bowman should always make sure that their strength is 5 points above what their level is. The best way to do this is every time you level up, put 1 point into strength and 4 points into DEX. By doing so, your strength will always end up 5 points above your existing level and you will not have any problems when it is time to upgrade your armour or weapons.

For Those Leeching Noobs

Iknow ,Of course, just picking up drops won't help enough. You need to use the free market as well, selling certain things you buy. One of the best things to start off with is quest items, because everyone does quests and lots of people want to buy items instead of killing monsters for them. This is a no-brainer: Sell quest items at the free market, and you'll be well on your way to meso-millionairedom.


Another easy method is to do quests. Not only does this help to gather quest items to sell later on, but it also gives you experience points, items, and mesos for each quest completed. If you complete quests, it's like killing two birds with one stone. Not only that, but if the quest requires you to kill monsters, you'll gain more experience from that, plus the experience and mesos for completing the quest and selling drops gained from killing monsters. It's that simple.
