It seems thousands of players enjoy my guide, seeing the countless mails I
receive. This makes me very happy, since it means my guide actually has some
use ;p So I'm asking you, if you're enjoying this guide, could you perhaps
donate some money? Heck, I'll be happy with your 2 bucks you were going to
spent on a cheeseburger later ;p Thank you!
Every question, feedback, comment etc. can be mailed. Put "MapleStory Guide"
in the Subject, so I can pick out the mails easily. Thanks! Also add where
you found the guide, if possible, so I know what places attract the
mainstream.
Don't mail me with:
* Stuff that is covered in this FAQ

* If your PC will run MapleStory
If I get any of these mails, I'll ignore them, no matter how harsh it sounds.

==============================================================================
Introduction & Getting Started [MS.02.01]
==============================================================================
MapleStory is a new beta on-line RPG, that's a bit different from all the
other MMORPGs out there. This one is side-scrolling. It's like Wonderboy in
Monsterland IV (on the old Genesis) on-line. For now, it's free, because they
are beta-checking it, so what are you waiting for? Go to:
http://www.mapleglobal.com/
Register there, download the game, install it, and boot it up. Now, log in
with your account. Select a server, select a channel and you're almost there.
Just create a new character (the Weapon and outfit have the same stats) and
you can start playing the game. The best is to get points as high as possible
in Strength.
If you want to contact me, I'm mostly on Channel 7 and 15, and go by the name
Snowcat.
There are guides for thieves, archors and magicians, but not a single one for
the warrior yet. That's what I'm here for, saving the day with my Warrior
guide ;p
So why become a Warrior? Well, why not? They are stronger, and can use a huge
variety of weapons and armor. Plus, you can go three different paths. I also
prefer the passive skills of the Warrior above the other skills of other
classes. I'm talking about "Improving HP Recovery", which improves the amount
of HP you get back when standing still for a while, and "Endure", which makes
it able to get HP back when hanging in a rope, or climbing a ladder. For more
information about the skills, you'll have to check the Skills-section though.
==============================================================================
Becoming a Warrior [MS.04.01]
==============================================================================
To become a Warrior, you'll need to be at at least level 10, and have a
Strength of at least 35. Once you got this, go to Perion (on Victoria Isle),
climb all the way up, and talk with Sitting Bull in the shrine. He'll accept
you as Warrior, and voila, you are a Warrior. You can now use your
skill points, buy new armor/weapons etc.
Talk to Sitting Bull in the Shrine, and he'll give you a letter, which you
have to give to a person near Perion. Find the person, and he'll tell you to
get 30 Dark Crystals. Once you got these, go back to the person, then talk to
Sitting Bull and you'll become a Fighter, Page or Spearman.
If you don't know what you want to become, check the various skills, and test
what weapons suit you best. Do you want a fast attack, but a bit less
powerful? Become a fighter. Do you want to do a lot of damage, and be able to
reach monsters even if they are a bit further away, and don't care about the
speed? Become a Page or Spearman.
When you gain a level, you'll get 3 Skill Points. You can use these to gain...

Level. Also, passive means you'll use them automatically):

Training [MS.07.01]
==============================================================================
Training is important. You need to train to wear new equipment, to grow
stronger, and to advance a class.
When you level up, I recommend putting points in Strength. Try to get at least
65 strength at level 20. However, dexterity is also very important. Without
that, you won't hit a single monster.
As for skills, do what you want. Go wild ;p
Some nice spots to level up;
Lvl. 10-13: Go to the Slime Tree. You can reach it by going west two screens
of Ellinia.
Lvl. 13-16: Go two screens east from Henesys. Kill the pigs here.
Lvl. 16-20: Focus on Green Mushrooms. You can find them near Sleepywood, or
one screen west of Henesys.
Lvl. 20+: Try to see what monsters are easy to kill for you. Focus on them.
Eventually you can go in the dungeon and go killing there.
I hope you enjoyed my guide, since I put a lot of work in it.
