following contacts (no stalking please >_>):
My name is Naixin Zhang, and i live in the USA. I have been playing Maple
Story for a while now. Maple Story is getting boring, so i decided to write a
FAQ. I have been a ice/lightning wizard for about 6 months now. I have quit
leveling now. This is my first FAQ. Also, English is my second language, so
please forgive me if it isn’t as good as one may expect.
B) General Tips
Here are some general tips and guidelines i learned while playing MapleStory
1) Don’t beg people, they will get mad, and probably would defame you
2) Never defame people for no reason; they will get you back....
3) Don’t ks people, they will get mad at you, and maybe defame you
4) When people ks you, tell them to stop politely, defaming them
will just piss them off more
5) When people come to your channel, and you want them to leave, don’t say
CC PLZ! Ask them nicely to leave, like say may you kindly change to
another channel please?
6) Dunt Tyep liek dis'
7) Never drop your items, people will pick them up, then you'll be pissed
8) Always buy low and sell high, even if you dont need it, like if this
thief is selling steelys for 10 mil, and you're a warrior, buy them
anyways and sell them for 15 mil later.
9) Train on stuff you can kill in 1-3 hits CONSISTANTLY.
10) Do not hunt for an item from a monster you can't kill in 1-3 hits unless
you're willing to stand a great loss of money. On example would be
a Lvl 40 ice wizard hunting for steely from red drakes.
C) Making a Magician
*********
1.3 Stats
*********
When you first roll the dice, make sure your strength and dexterity are both 4.
Your intelligence and luck doesn’t matter. From now on for every level put all
points into Intelligence until it is at least 20 and your luck is 3 more than
your level. On every level from then on, put 4 points into intelligence, and 1
into luck. The formula for your stats are the following: luck=level+3, the rest
into Intelligence.
What you do is keep rolling the dice until strength, luck, and dexterity are 4.
For this build, every level, you put all the points into intelligence. For your
weapons, you use the umbrellas, maple staff, and maple lama since you dont have
Luk to equip the standard weapons. People do this to do more damage, but
luckless mages lose more experience when they die.
****************************
1.5 Training From Levels 1-8
****************************
On levels 1-8, train on Maple Island. You are weak with 4 strength, and if you
go to victoria island, the future warriors will ks you. You might feel like you
need to put points into strength. Don’t do it. If you do, you'll be weaker than
other mages your level. I had a friend who had 20 strength. I out damaged him
when I was like 5 levels lower than him. You should train on green snails, blue
snails and tiny mushrooms. They are easy. Stay away from red snails and orange
mushrooms. They'll take too long for a mage without magic to kill.
****************************
1.6 Going to Victoria Island
****************************
When you have reached Level 8 go to South Perry. Pay the captain there 150
mesos to go to Victoria Island. From there, either buy a return scroll to
Ellinia for 500-1000 mesos, take the taxi to Ellinia, or walk there. DONT
TAKE THE VIP TAXI; IT LEADS TO THE ANT TUNNEL. YOU WILL DIE, THEN GET
STUCK IN SLEEPYWOOD.
Go to the highest point in Ellinia. This is where Grendel the Really
Old lives. He will make you a magician if you have at least 20 intelligence and
is level 8. After that, go buy a wand at the Ellinia weapon shop. Also, buy the
level 10 clothes if you're rich enough. You also get the magician skill book.
Put your first point into the kill energy bolt, and assign it to a key.
Congratulations, you are now a magician.
D) 1st job skills
****************************************
1.8 Energy Bolt (max Lvl: 20, req: none)
****************************************
Description: This is your basic attack skill. Most people leave this at 1 since
this is a prerequisite for magic claw, and magic claw is a much better skill.
You use mp to shoot a bolt of energy at one enemy. This DOES NOT go through
obstacles and walls. The max base damage is 55.
Description: This is going to be your main attack skill unless you're a bolt
mage. This attack is a lot stronger than energy bolt. You use mp to attack the
enemy twice. The max base damage is 40. This skill should be maxed after mp
recovery. This skill does go through walls and obstacles. I do believe this
attack has to go through the enemy's defenses twice but im not sure. Can anyone
confirm this?
Description: This skill is a life saver. This temporarily replaces hp damage
with mp damage. Being a mage with extremely low hp but high mp, this can be a
big help. With magic guard, your hp is basically the equivalent of your mp.
So in theory, you'll have thousands on hp if you think about it. The con?
This drains your mp like crazy. Only use this when the monsters you’re training
on kills you in 1-5 hits. At max level, 80% of hp damage goes to mp, which
means if you take 100 damage, your hp takes 20, and mp takes 80 and it lasts
for 10 minutes.
Level 1: MP -6; Replace 11% of HP damage as MP for 111 seconds
Level 2: MP -6; Replace 14% of HP damage as MP for 132 seconds
Level 3: MP -6; Replace 17% of HP damage as MP for 153 seconds
Level 4: MP -6; Replace 20% of HP damage as MP for 174 seconds
Level 5: MP -6; Replace 23% of HP damage as MP for 195 seconds
Level 6: MP -8; Replace 30% of HP damage as MP for 246 seconds
Level 7: MP -8; Replace 33% of HP damage as MP for 267 seconds
Level 8: MP -8; Replace 36% of HP damage as MP for 288 seconds
Level 9: MP -8; Replace 39% of HP damage as MP for 309 seconds
Level 10: MP -8; Replace 42% of HP damage as MP for 330 seconds
Level 11: MP -10; Replace 49% of HP damage as MP for 381 seconds
Level 12: MP -10; Replace 52% of HP damage as MP for 402 seconds
Level 13: MP -10; Replace 55% of HP damage as MP for 423 seconds
Level 14: MP -10; Replace 58% of HP damage as MP for 444 seconds
Level 15: MP -10; Replace 61% of HP damage as MP for 465 seconds
Level 16: MP -12; Replace 68% of HP damage as MP for 516 seconds
Level 17: MP -12; Replace 71% of HP damage as MP for 537 seconds
Level 18: MP -12; Replace 74% of HP damage as MP for 558 seconds
Level 19: MP -12; Replace 77% of HP damage as MP for 579 seconds
Level 20: MP -12; Replace 80% of HP damage as MP for 600 seconds
Description: This skill temporarily boosts weapon defense. At max level, it
boosts weapon defense by 40, and lasts 400 seconds. This skill might seem good
at low levels but at high levels, this does next to nothing. If you’re taking
like 700 damage from a Tauromancis, what’s 40 defense going to do? Magic guard
will save you there, but magic armor will do nothing. I recommend leaving this
at zero.
Level 1: MP -8; Weapon Def. +2 for 54 seconds
Level 2: MP -8; Weapon Def. +4 for 68 seconds
Level 3: MP -8; Weapon Def. +6 for 82 seconds
Level 4: MP -8; Weapon Def. +8 for 96 seconds
Level 5: MP -8; Weapon Def. +10 for 110 seconds
Level 6: MP -10; Weapon Def. +12 for 144 seconds
Level 7: MP -10; Weapon Def. +14 for 158 seconds
Level 8: MP -10; Weapon Def. +16 for 172 seconds
Level 9: MP -10; Weapon Def. +18 for 186 seconds
Level 10: MP -10; Weapon Def. +20 for 200 seconds
Level 11: MP -13; Weapon Def. +20 for 244 seconds
Level 12: MP -13; Weapon Def. +24 for 258 seconds
Level 13: MP -13; Weapon Def. +26 for 272 seconds
Level 14: MP -13; Weapon Def. +28 for 286 seconds
Level 15: MP -13; Weapon Def. +30 for 300 seconds
Level 16: MP -16; Weapon Def. +32 for 344 seconds
Level 17: MP -16; Weapon Def. +34 for 358 seconds
Level 18: MP -16; Weapon Def. +36 for 372 seconds
Level 19: MP -16; Weapon Def. +38 for 386 seconds
Level 20: MP -16; Weapon Def. +40 for 400 seconds
Description: This skill is VERY important. Put 5 points into it after energy
bolt is at one, then max it after mp increase. This skill makes you recover
more mp every 10 seconds. For every point here, your mp recovery rate would
increase. Mp rate is also determined by int. So with plenty of intelligence,
and maxed mp recovery, you'll recover a lot of mp. The formula is the
following: Improving Mp Recovery lvl x (Characters lvl/10)+3
Description: You get more mp when you level up or when you put Ap into mp.
For every point in here, you will receive an additional 2 mp when you level and
an additional 1 mp when you put an Ap in mp. You should max this skill first
if you want a lot of mp ;)
Level 1: When lvl up, 2 more mp, if AP is applied, add 1 more
Level 2: When lvl up, 4 more mp, if AP is applied, add 2 more
Level 3: when lvl up, 6 more mp, if AP is applied, add 3 more
Level 4: When lvl up, 8 more mp, if AP is applied, add 4 more
Level 5: When lvl up, 10 more mp, if AP is applied, add 5 more
Level 6: When lvl up, 12 more mp, if AP is applied, add 6 more
Level 7: When lvl up, 14 more mp, if AP is applied, add 7 more
Level 8: When lvl up, 16 more mp, if AP is applied, add 8 more
Level 9: When lvl up, 18 more mp, if AP is applied, add 9 more
Level 10: When lvl up, 20 more mp, if AP is applied, add 10 more
Well, that about wraps it up for 1st job magician skills.
E) 1st job skill Builds.
*****************************
2.4 Standard Build (unfunded)
*****************************
Description: Well, this is the standard build for the unfunded mage. You will
have high mp, and you can train on stuff fairly well.
Description: This a build that gets attacking spells first. This will allow
you to kill things faster and earlier. This skill build really makes you lose
a lot of max mp. I wouldn't recommend this build. Do this only do this if
you’re funded and want faster leveling.
*********************
2.6 Energy bolt build
*********************
Description: This build sucks. Dont use it. Magic claw is a lot better. This
build is the same as the standard, except where it says magic claw, you replace
it with energy bolt. You put the 1 left over point into magic armor. Again,
dont do this build. It sucks >_<
F) Training levels 8-30
***************
2.7 Levels 8-10
***************
With low damage, snails are your best bet. If you have no mp, you can try
hitting, or standing idle until your mp recovers.
Recommended places: Henesys hunting ground, A Hill East of Henesys.
Now i suggest staying on snails. Slime are too strong for you on level 10.
Stay on snails until about level 14, then start training on slimes. Slimes
are 10 xp per kill, so you should level decently off of them for a while.
Recommended places: The Tree that Grew 1, Henesys hunting ground
From levels 16-20, train on slimes. Mages are weak at this point until they
get magic claw to a decent level. Remember; pick up everything a monster
drops. 15 mesos from a slime might not seem like a lot but picking it up
10 times is 150 mesos. And if you pick up 15 mesos 100 times, you would
already have 1.5k. Towards the end of these levels, you can try pigs.
Training on pigs makes you spend more on pots.
Recommended places: The Tree that Grew 1, Henesys hunting ground. The
Rainforest east of Henesys, Perion-to dungeon.
From here you should have an ok magic claw to start hunting pigs and orange
mushrooms. They both give you 15 xp, and are fairy easy to kill. Be careful,
pigs are commonly found with ribbon pigs, and ribbon pigs hurt. But as you near
25, ribbon pigs should be no problem. Stumps are also good.You can also try to
party quest.
Recommended places: Pig beach, The Rain forest East of Henesys, Henesys
Hunting Ground, Kerning city construction site
With magic claw maxed, you can train fairly easily. Try hunting horny mushrooms
, green mushrooms, bubblings, zombie mushrooms and wild boars. These monsters
spawn fast, and are easy to train on. They also drop some good equipment a mage
needs. Green mushrooms drop pan lids. Horny mushrooms drop brown jesters. Wild
boars drop blue jesters. Octopuses and dark axe stumps are also good.
Recommended places: Ant tunnel 1-4, Land of Wild Boars 1, Land of Wild Boars 2
Hidden Street-Over the Wall, and the Kerning City Subways.
G) 2nd Job Advancement
********************
3.2 Going to Ellinia
********************
After you hit level 30 and have spent all of your skill points, go to Grendel
the Really Old in the magic library in Ellinia. Talk to him and he will tell
you how you have become a lot stronger. He will ask you if you want to take
the test. Say yes, and go to the forest north of Ellinia. Go into the center
portal and go all the way up. Ignore all of the other portals. After you get to
the top, you will see 2 ropes. Take the left one and go up. There you will see
the next job instructor.
************
3.3 The Tree
************
After you talk to the job instructor, you will be transported to a tree.
This is sort of like a tree dungeon, except it is full of stronger curse
eyes and horny mushrooms.
***************
3.4 The Marbles
***************
In the tree dungeon, you have to kill the modified curse eyes and horny
mushrooms. They do about 85 damage to you. They also drop dark marbles in
a 1/3 chance. Your job is to gather 30 of them, and talk to the guy. After you
talk to him, he'll give you the proof of heroes. Return back to Grendel, and
give it to him. Congratulations, you may now choose your next Job. Since
you're reading this guide, i assume your going to pick the ice/lightning
wizard.
Description: This skill freezes enemies, and deals pretty good damage. You use
mp to make a shark piece of ice fall on the enemies. This skill has a base
damage of 100 at max level, and freezes for 2 seconds. The freezing time starts
at 1 second, and doubles at level 15. This is your main 1 vs 1 skill from the
2nd job. This should replace magic claw when maxed. You should max this first
if you’re going to be an ice wizard. Fire based monsters also take 1.5 of the
normal damage.

Level 30: MP -24; Basic attack 100, mastery 60%, freeze for 2 seconds
Description: This skill is your mob skill. and its pretty good at it 2
xD. This skill when maxed, does an ok amount of damage, and it hits up to six
enemies, when maxed, then base damage is 60. You use Mp to summon lightning,
cool, huh? Lightning wizards max this skill first, and hybrids max this skill
second right after cold beam. Water based enemies take 1.5 times the regular
damage.
Description: An instant movement spell that helps you escape enemies and travel
around faster. This skill is very useful, since it lets you telecast.
Telecasting is when you shorten the lag of 2 spells when you attack then
teleport

Level 19: MP -15; Teleport, with 148 in distance

This skill is pretty useful. It lets you suck your enemies mp, and at max
level, you suck 40% of the enemies max mp. That’s pretty good, especially if
you’re a lightning wizard. If you cast lightning, you have 6 chances of
sucking 40% each. Max this skill after your attacking skills and meditate.

Description: This skill slows down the enemies, and at max level, the
enemies get -40 speed, and last for 40 seconds. Since you are an ice

I) 2nd Job Skill Builds
*************
4.1 ice build
*************
Description: This build is for people that want pure ice. I really dont like
this build since you get lightning very late, but hey, some people like it.
Wild boars and fire boars, they have a great spawn, and have good drops too.
You can also try evil eyes if you think you're ready. Evil eyes are fast
xp, but bad money. Octopuses, bubblings, and horny mushrooms are also good
if you can mass kill them efficiently with lightning. You can also try PQs.
Recommended places: Land of Wild Boar 1 and 2, the Burnt Land 1 and 2, Cave
of Evil Eyes 1, Ant Tunnel 1-4, Kerning City Subways, End of b-1 jump quest,
Damp forest, and Tree dudgeons.
This is where it gets fun. For you lightning wizards, lightning will work
well against hoards of horny mushrooms, wild boars, octopuses, and
bubblings. Ice wizards should go kill fire boars and Jr. kitties. They
should go after the red ones, since they are weak to ice.
Recommended places: Land of wild boar 1 and 2, the Burnt land 1 and 2, Cave of
Evil Eyes1, B-1 Jump Quest, Ant Tunnel, Party Quests, and Garden of Red 1
Now you can train very well. If you started with ice, or hybrid, train
on copper drakes and fire boars. If you started with lightning, go to
Florina beach, and rape Lorangs or Helios Tower and mass kill Retz. xD
Recommended places: Florina beach: Lorangs Lorangs. Florina beach Lorangs
Lorangs Lorangs, Burnt Land 1 and 2, Garden of Red 1, Dangerous Valley 1,
and at 50, you can try Garden of Red 2, Helios Tower.
Clangs and umitis...easy xp, good drops, and good money.
Also you can go to the Zombie Maps. I reconmend z3 or z4
Recommended places: Florina beach: Hot Sands, Forest of dead trees 1-4
K) Third Job Advancement
***********************
5.3 The Necklace of Str
***********************
Go to El Nath in Ossyria. After you reach El Nath, talk to Robeira. Right after
you have talked to Robeira, go back to Victoria Island and talk to Grendel.
After you have talked to Grendel, go to the door of dimensions. I think it’s
located in the Forest of Evil 2. This will take you to the path of
the glittering crystal. Walk to the end of the path to meet Grendel’s clone.
Defeat him to get the black charm. After you receive the charm, go back to
Grendel and give him the charm. He will give you the necklace of strength.
***************************
5.4 The Necklace of Wisdom
**************************
After you get the necklace of Str, return to el Nath, and give Robeira the
item. After that, head out to the holy grounds. I think it’s located in the
sharp cliff 2. Again, im not 100% sure, so if anyone can confirm this,
thanks. Anywho, after you get there, you have to speak to this thing, and
answer 5 questions. You will need 1 dark crystal and 100k to answer the
questions, and if you get one wrong, you'll have to pay another black
crystal and 100k. You have an unlimited time to answer them, so take your
time. After you answer all 5 questions, you will receive the necklace of
wisdom. Return to Nath, and give Robeira the necklace of wisdom. Grats,
your now a mage.
Description: This skill is like an upgraded version of thunder bolt. This
spell uses mp to strike up to six targets around you, dealing 90 base
damage, and freezing them. This skill can save your life in a mob. I
suggest you to max this first. At max level, this spell costs 50 mp, and
has a base damage of 90. This spells attack range is also twice your normal
range.
Description: All i can say is...WOW. 170 base damage at max. That’s frickn
awesome!! The catch? Its slow as hell >_<.Its still a good idea to max this.
You basically use mp to make a big spear, and then hit the enemies with it.
Description: This skill is interesting. It uses Mp to fire an arrow that is
half ice and half lightning. At max level 70 base damage is from ice and
70 from lightning. The only down side is that monsters weak to ice only gives
you a 1.25 element advantage and the same goes for lightning. Still a good
idea to max this. This will soon replace cold beam, just like how cold beam
replaced magic claw. This skill also freezes.

5.8 Seal (max lvl: 20, req: Element Amplification lvl 3)
********************************************************
Description: This spell seals a monster, which means it can not use
attack skills. This spell is useless for an ice mage, because we can
freeze it anyways. I wouldn’t recommend touching this skill. This skill
also does not work on bosses.

**************************************************
5.9 Element Amplification (max lvl: 30, req: none)
**************************************************
Description: This skill is passive, and it also makes your spells do 1.35x
the normal damage. The con is that this spell also doubles your spells
costs. If you want to match up to other jobs, you should max this.
Description: This skill is awesome, but its usefulness at lvl 11 is the
same as its usefulness at lvl 20. I suggest getting this to 11, work on
another skill, then max it later.
