Family System

Description

The family system was created on 7^th April 2009 (04/07/09). It is a great way for higher level players to be a role model a mentor to 'noobs', friends, relatives, siblings, strangers, and just about anyone! Pay it forward and be a mentor to Juniors. What is a Junior, you ask? Well, a Junior is character you'll be sponsoring, helping in his / her journey in MapleStory. If you take good care of them, you'll be rewarded in many ways! Here is a step-by-step guide on how to begin your family.

Guide

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. Once you start adding Juniors, your Juniors can add their own Juniors. You'll only see family members that are up to 2 levels apart. 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.

Step 4

What is Rep? Rep is a good barometer for how well the senior takes care of the Juniors. How do you gain Rep? Well, the Juniors and family members that are immediately under the Juniors can boost your Rep by earning EXP and leveling up.

Step 5

Once you use your Rep, you can use your Rep to gain access to Entitlements. Entitlements are special buffs that you can use to advance in-game.

Step 6

There is limited Entitlement usage per day. the usage count is refreshed the next day.
