Step 1

Find someone you would like to sponsor as a Junior. You cannot be more than 20 levels higher than your Junior.

Step 2

Once you have found a player to add as your Junior, press the add Junior button on the Family window (hotkey: F) or Family pedigree. Once the person you've entered as the Junior agrees to it, that character becomes your Junior. You can only add 2 Juniors.

Step 3

You will then become a Senior. As a Senior, you should support you Juniors and help them explore the world of Maple. Try to nurture them as much as you can, not just provide them with items a mesos. the better you take care of your Juniors the better Rep you will get.

Pedigree

A Pedigree shows Juniors and seniors 2 levels above and below you. It also shows the total family members, and the leader of the family. Here, you can also see how many points your family members have, and their level.
