Q: Where do I go and what do I need if I want to become a swordsman/magician/thief/bowman?
A: To become a swordsman you need to be at least level 10 and have 35 Strength. The job advancement for this class is carried on in Perion. Once you are there climb to the top and talk to Dances with Balrogs.

To take up a job advancement as a magician you need 20 points in Intelligence, the level requirement is 8. Grendel the Really Old who can be found in Ellinia is the one you have to find for this job advancement.

To become a thief you need to be at least level 10 and have 25 Dexterity. Go to Kerning City and speak with the Dark Lord.

To become a bowman you need to be at least level 10 and have 25 Dexterity points. Once your character meets the requirements go to Henesys and talk to Helena at the Mushroom Park.


Q: What is the best class to start off if I am a new player?
A: There are no weak jobs in the game. It all depends on how you distribute your stats and skill points. If you do it accordingly you will be fine. The best class for new players in my opinion is a Swordsman. Swordsmen deal a lot of damage early in the game and it's easier to kill monsters. (at the beginning at least)


Q: Where should I train / what enemies do I have to fight?
A: Remember that fighting stronger enemies that give you more EXP do not necessarily help you level up faster. Chose your enemies according to your own skill and level. Remember that it is always better to kill 10 Snails for a few seconds other than fighting a Yellow Mushroom or something stronger for more time. The Hunting Grounds next to Henesys are the perfect place for level 10 characters and above. At level 21 don't forget to go to Kerning City for the Party Quest there. It is by far the easiest way to level up because you get lots of EXP and the monsters there are weaker than those outside. Items and EXP is obtained at the end of the quest and the one who kills the Slime King gets additional Experience points.


Q: I am a Claw Thief and my stars went to 0 what do I do?
A: At the Armor Store you can "recharge" your stars so they will be back up to the max capacity.


Q: Why is it so hard to level up?
A: The Maple Story leveling system is different than this in other games you have played before. For example, being lvl 30 is a higher honor in this game than say in Runescape.


Q: OMG THE GAME ISN'T WORKING MAKE IT WORK.
A: To help solve your problem we need more details to understand your situation. Perhaps you got an error message? Add it to your message whenever you are asking for such assistance.

Q: What happens when I level up?
A: Before you get a Job Advancement, when you level up you can raise your stats which you access by the "S" key. The stats are STR (Strength), DEX (Dexterity), LUK (Luck), and INT (Intelligence). After you make the Job Advancement you will also gain skill points which you can use by accessing the skills pane with the "K" button by default.
