   Go to [http://maplestory.nexon.net] to sign up. I will have to remind you that some computers cannot play MapleStory because they aren't fast enough or the computer will lag often.[[Image:Download12_03.gif|thumb|Click to see the requirements of what your computer must be in order to play]] When you are on the website, look at the left and you will see this sign right next to login.[[Image:btn_singup_01.gif|thumb|This is the icon to click to register]]Once you have click on this icon, the next step will appear, saying to tell them your age.'''(Remember to ask parent/guardian permission before saying your age if you are 12 and under.

==In Mushroom Training Camp==


When you start a new character for an ecxiting adventure of battles and into the not-so-flat 2D game of MapleStory, you will start in a platform with a lady and an entrance. Everyone starts of as lv. 1 when they reach this point. On the bottom left-hand corner, it shows your level.  To start training in the real world right away, double-click (this move will be helpful to click on Non-playing characters such as the lady during your story of adventures)her and she will say something. Click on the screen in which the lady is saying something to make the words display automatically so you don't have to wait for the words to appear. Click '''"Yes"''' if you are really sure to go into the real world without training or if you want to change your mind and get some training in the camp, click '''"No"'''. If you clicked yes, you will arrive onto Maple Island. Start training right away.Enter the entrance if you clicked no, which is the shining ray thing. Click up, and then you will arrive in the camp. Inside the camp you will notice that you're wearing an apple suit instead of your avatar's clothes. Everyone in the camp wears this and it will come out stimutaneously once you exit. Look around the camp and walk around. Go through  the portals and eventually you will come to a part of a map where there are tutorial monsters. These are recognized with the '''CTRL''' button on top of their heads. They will not damage you because they specialize on tutoring you to battle monsters, but don't mistake these for the same type of monster but doesn't have a '''CTRL''' on top of it. Those without the '''CTRL''' sign are really strong for begginers, so don't hunt for them in the real world. You will notice that everytime you hit the monsters, you gain more and more in the EXP. Bar. This bar shows you when to level up; for example, when it reaches 100%, you will level up and this sign hovers above you for a few seconds thus making a sound that faints stimultaneously with the sign. Then you will get 0% or a little bit more once leveling up to start the bar all over again. Right next to the bar, you will see 2 other bars, a blue one saying MP and a red one saying HP. MP are your mana, for when you will use magical powers later on in your story, so you don't have to worry about it yet. HP are your hit points. You should always stock up your potions for training because when your hit points are all used up, you  will die and get will get sent to the nearest town nearby. Please note that you don't lose '''EXP.''' when you die as a begginer, but when you get a job, you will start losing EXP. Now exit the camp and talk to the lady. Click '''Yes''' and start your grand adventure!

These are the offensive skills, so you can don't have to use swords while training and leveling up as a magician. Please note that '''Magician skills use MP''', so now not only you'll have to stock up potions for HP but for MP as well.

You have to go to the '''Magic Library''' and talk to '''Grendel the Really Old'''.

Beat these monsters to get '''Dark Marbles'''. You must recieve 30 of these in order to become either a '''Cleric''', an '''Ice/Lightning Mage''', or a '''Fire/Poison Mage'''. Once recieving all of them, the person will give you '''The Proof of a Hero''' to give to Grendel the Really Old. This permits you to officially become either one of the job advancements. '''Pick any one, and you'll finally become a Cleric, or Ice & Light./Fire & Poison Mage!''' You can go to my cleric guide by clicking this link:[[Dejavumage88's Cleric's Guide]]

==Credits==


                 
I am giving credit to all of the websites that helped me while doing this guide to help others. The thanks are to given to the following:


http://global.hidden-street.net/
http://maplestory.nexon.net/
http://mapletip.com/index.php


Hidden-Street helped me the most because I got all the resources for the magician attacks there. The main site for MapleGlobal helped me a little by finding out about how you begin the game, roll stat game, ect. It helped me with the begginer parts. MapleTip actually barely helped me at all, because I didn't look at it much often, just at the other sites mentioned. It did help me because I looked at their guides and figured out how my guide should be, too. Anyways, the help of course goes to MapleWiki, one of the most original sites for one of the most famous game on Earth, MapleStory!!!!XD It is thanks to the MapleWiki help such as how to make a guide, bold text, italic text, and all of that cool editing stuff that I made it this far! Of course, you must thank the producers Wizet and Nexon because they're the ones who made '''MapleStory!'''


(I'm not finished!Plz wait for further notice.[[User:Dejavumage88|Dejavumage88]] 13:44, 13 October 2007 (CDT) Thx!8)

Guide to a Well-Trained Magician Demonstration

Welcome to my guide of a well-trained Magician in MapleStory! This guide is specially made for people who want to become magicians....and BEYOND!! In this guide just for people like you, you can learn all about how to play MapleStory, being a well-trained Magician, and a lot of other cool things. Please take your time to browse around! I just finished the guide today(Oct.23,2007), so whatever you do, DON'T EDIT MY GUIDE OR COPY IT AND SAY THAT YOU WROTE IT YOURSELF!

Registering and Downloading

This article is for when you are going to register and start the game. If you already registered, you can skip this part.

Go to [1] to sign up. I will have to remind you that some computers cannot play MapleStory because they aren't fast enough or the computer will lag often.

Click to see the requirements of what your computer must be in order to play

When you are on the website, look at the left and you will see this sign right next to login.

This is the icon to click to register

Once you have click on this icon, the next step will appear, saying to tell them your age.(Remember to ask parent/guardian permission before saying your age if you are 12 and under. Nexon will not except ages 12 and under without permission. After you asked, you can say you're 13 and over.)Once done, press "Proceed to Sign up!". On the next page, you will be asked to create a Nexon Account.(this account will be the account to login into MapleStory.)

You should be able to see this when you go to the next step on the right hand corner of the page

You will have to check if the account has been used or not on the right. It will tell you if you can use that account or not. Next create a password.(this password will be the password to login into MapleStory)Now comfirm it(to confirm, you type the password again.)Then tell them your email address. Just like the password, confirm the email address. I don't suggest using someone else's email, because it can get very confusing. Afterwards, click on "Next". Now, you will have to tell your name. Don't worry, Nexon will never, ever tell anyone or staff your real name. Once you told all your personals, you will be asked to make security questions. These questions are here to help you when you forget your password or login account. Just type in the answer of the questions, and then you will need to type a certain code in the box below. Type in what you see, and then click on "Done!" If the code you did wasn't right, you will be asked to do it again. This code is there in case there is a virus-related programming that can harm the website wants to make an account, the computer cannot figure out the number combination because of the colors of the background distracts it. Once you click "Done!", you will be finished! But I may be wrong because I remember when I signed up, there was a part that tell you about all agreeing to the policy. If there is such part, you will have to check on the policy parts(There are 2 boxes for 2 policy agreements.) It is your choice to check it or not when you're using your own email address. I reccomend you don't chekc the top part because this will jam your email full of junk if you don't check your email on a daily basis. However, if you choose to check it, you can know notices on when there will be a new patch, event, etc. It's your choice!

Important:Once you have made an NX account, you will be sent a verification code to your email address. This will come handy later on.


Once you have an account, go click on the icon saying "Login".

This is how the Login icon looks like

The page you are in now should look like this on top of the login area:Login bg01.gif

On the bottom of that picture, there is a box to login, one for your account and one for your password, once you click login, you will be sent to a page saying to type your verification code.(Now is the time to check your email address for your verification code. In your mail it should say the verification code. It could be CAPS LOCK or not. Try both ways. Hint: copy the verification code down so that you don't have to keep pressing back and forth to look at the code in your email.If it is not there, it could be because your email server is running a clean up or downloading new updates,or maybe because you typed the wrong email address, etc. There is a button for when you don't have your mail, they can send you another mail containing another verification code.(If you type the wrong email address from the beggining this button won't help you, sorry!! You'll have to make another account!)Once done, you will be logged in! Where the login and signup icons used to be, there will show your account. It is blank with a question mark because you didn't become a magician yet.

Now it's time to download!!!(Although many agree that this is the most boring part of your story)Now I know you're asking why do we have to download? I've been triggered by this question before and so have millions and millions of other players. The answer is that MapleStory is a ClientUser, meaning that you will have to download it onto your computer to play it. Now when you want to start downloading, click on "Game Download". It should be below your account info, or if you're logged out, the signup and login icons.

This is the Game Download icon

Clicking this will go to a page where it shows you about the requirements to download the game.(I already showed you the graph in the beggining.)Click on either:

Download22 11.gifORDownload22 12.gif

(The red one on the bottom isn't downloading! Remember this!)If you are to click the left one,it means that you will be downloading it whole instead of in parts. There will be a screen that pops up. Click on Save and then it will start downloading. This downloading time takes overall:approx. 2 hrs. If you click on any of the right ones,(part 1-20; the RAR. cannot be clicked)it means you will be downloading it in parts. Just like the left one there will be the same screen. Click on save, and it will start downloading. Each part takes overall:approx. 5-6 minutes, depending on how fast it can be. But if you download MapleStory in parts, the overall time for all the downloading would take about more than 2 hrs.(excluding the time wasted on putting in onto the wallpaper, etc.) It is your choice. Once you have downloaded MapleStory on the screen that has a globe with a computer, there will be a place that says the download is complete. Click on Run to start up another screen.Click Next when the screen shows up.

Here is how the screen looks like when you press Next

Then another screen shows up saying that you have successfully downloaded MapleStory! Whew! I barely survived that one! I hope you did, too!X0 On your wallpaper, the Maplestory icon should look like this:

Starting up the Game

When you double click the icon for MapleStory, a screen pops up. Wait for a while until the "Play!" button turns sky blue. Then the entire computer will go black.(Don't worry, this happens right before the game when the Nexon and Wizet icons appear. After they do, the MapleStory Login Screen should pop up.(If you can hear music but nothing on the screen, and then it turns back to your main wallpaper, check on [2] to see what the problem is. Click on FAQ's in Support on top of the screen. There should be a question about errors.

Click on this to see how the start screen is supposed to look like

When you type in the information required, you will see another screen pop up. It shows about creating your P.I.N. This pin is very important for logging in. It is for higher security. Keep it somewhere safe and make a pin that is hard for someone to guess. After making a pin, type in the pin again to jump onto another platform. There you will see 7 worlds: Kradia, Mardia, Bera, Bellocan, Windia, Scania, and Khaini. Kradia is the newest world, so I suggest you go there(if Kradia isn't there, it means that Nexon didn't finish yet.)If this happens, I suggest Windia, or Mardia. Windia has a little bit more population than Mardia, but if you want to seek trades(trading an item(s) for another item(s)), I suggest Windia. Mardia is the place if you seek quietness, since it is the second latest world in MapleGlobal. But whatever you do, don't go to Scania! It is highly populated, meaning there will be a lot of hackers. It is easy for people to hack into somebody's account if there's a lot of population going about. Thus, your computer might lag and your internet might disconnect, etc. because of a lot of accounts bunched together. This might happen in especially the free market, and where events will happen. So whatever you do, don't go to Scania! But, if you want to, I can't stop you. It is your story, after all. Once chosen a world, you will see another screen with channels. These channels are so that people don't have to bunch together. I suggest any channel other than channel 1 because that channel is mostly for trading. Once you choose a channel, you will jump into yet another screen with a bridge sort of thing. Since you didn't make your avatar yet, you will have to make one. Press on "Make A Character" and you will see all the things to make your own avatar. Be creative with the choices. It's your story. Then make a name. You must check if somebody is using that name or not.(My brother was stuck here for about half an hour trying to make a name he likes.) If somebody already got the name you want, try another name. Be creative, but whatever you do, don't put any personal info into that name. For example: Don't put your real name. (Calvinwang88) Don't put your tele/cellphone number.(cell6268198390)

Don't put your address. (8945riverst.elpaso,tx) There are lots more, but don't put any of them on your avatar's name!

Rolling Stat Game

Here is the part where a lot of people say it is the second-most boring.(next to downloading.) In this game, you roll a dice to randomly get your STR, DEX, LUK, and INT. STR stands for strength, DEX for dexterity, LUK for luck, and INT for intelligence. Now since you want to become a magician, you want to keep rolling the dice until you get a combination of this: STR=4 or 5 DEX=4 or 5 LUK=(can be any number) INT=(can be any number)

STR and DEX can be 4 or 5, it doesn't matter. Since LUK and INT are the only ones magicians should worry about, each time you level you should Ability Points on these:LUK Your lv.+2, and the rest to INT. (Later on, I will show you how to access the screen in the game for Abiltiy Points.) Now you may be able to begin!

Control Keys

You should always remember that the Menu icon will let you Change Channels and quit the game. Channels are individuals of worlds, so that it won't be that crowded. The main controls are moving around and climbing ladders. To move left and right, use the left/right keys of the arrow keys. To climb on a ladder/rope/vine, press up to go up and down to go down. Remember, the only way to go on a ladder/rope/vine is by press the up button. To attack, press CTRL. This move is for using mace, spears, and other weapons to attack your opponent, which are the monsters. To jump, press "Alt". Occasionally, you will have to do a jump to reach a ladder/rope/vine. First, get a wide space to "run" for your jump. When you jump, hold on the up key. Once you get close enough the ladder/rope/vine, you will be on it but remember to hold the up button until you reach the ladder/rope/vine. To go into a portal to another map, press the up button when you are on top of the portal(shining ray of light). To see the rest of the control keys, go to [3] and click on all of the icons for more info(except for CashShop Guide because that's where you use real money to buy temporary MapleStory equipment):

In Mushroom Training Camp

When you start a new character for an ecxiting adventure of battles and into the not-so-flat 2D game of MapleStory, you will start in a platform with a lady and an entrance. Everyone starts of as lv. 1 when they reach this point. On the bottom left-hand corner, it shows your level. To start training in the real world right away, double-click (this move will be helpful to click on Non-playing characters such as the lady during your story of adventures)her and she will say something. Click on the screen in which the lady is saying something to make the words display automatically so you don't have to wait for the words to appear. Click "Yes" if you are really sure to go into the real world without training or if you want to change your mind and get some training in the camp, click "No". If you clicked yes, you will arrive onto Maple Island. Start training right away.Enter the entrance if you clicked no, which is the shining ray thing. Click up, and then you will arrive in the camp. Inside the camp you will notice that you're wearing an apple suit instead of your avatar's clothes. Everyone in the camp wears this and it will come out stimutaneously once you exit. Look around the camp and walk around. Go through the portals and eventually you will come to a part of a map where there are tutorial monsters. These are recognized with the CTRL button on top of their heads. They will not damage you because they specialize on tutoring you to battle monsters, but don't mistake these for the same type of monster but doesn't have a CTRL on top of it. Those without the CTRL sign are really strong for begginers, so don't hunt for them in the real world. You will notice that everytime you hit the monsters, you gain more and more in the EXP. Bar. This bar shows you when to level up; for example, when it reaches 100%, you will level up and this sign hovers above you for a few seconds thus making a sound that faints stimultaneously with the sign. Then you will get 0% or a little bit more once leveling up to start the bar all over again. Right next to the bar, you will see 2 other bars, a blue one saying MP and a red one saying HP. MP are your mana, for when you will use magical powers later on in your story, so you don't have to worry about it yet. HP are your hit points. You should always stock up your potions for training because when your hit points are all used up, you will die and get will get sent to the nearest town nearby. Please note that you don't lose EXP. when you die as a begginer, but when you get a job, you will start losing EXP. after dying. Now exit the camp and talk to the lady. Click Yes and start your grand adventure!

Beginner Basics

You will have to travel around the small-yet-complex island of Maple. This island is designed to be beginner-friendly, since it's strongest monster is only an orange mushroom, which you can overcome by level 8-10. Train hard, and do quests. Remember, your LUK is supposed to be +2 of your level and the rest of the AP goes to INT. Don't complain about the hard work, because the training gets harder and harder as each level passes by. Monsters that you can already conquer will give you less and less EXP. as you level up, so it is mandatory that you aboard the instantaneous trip to Victoria Island for your future job when you are level 7-8. By level 8, you should have at least 20 INT. Once you become level 8, go to Victoria Island quickly to become a magician. You will arrive at Lith Harbor, a little sea port in the south-western tip of Victoria Island. Once you exit Lith Harbor, go to the right, which will take you east. Then you will arrive in the over-populated city of Henesys. Pack your potions here and then head even more eastwards. When you arrive in a forest, you will know that you're in the vicinity of Ellinia, the capital for magicians and wizards alike. Ellinia is a forest-city, and if you fall you can lose some HP. You will have to go to the highest point of Ellinia, which may take a while. Up there, you will see the Magic Library. Go into the portal, and you will see the Magic Library. Grendel, the instructor to becoming a magician, will be meditating inside the library. Double-Click on him, and he will ask you if you want to become a magician. Click Yes and he will grant you your wish. Please note that you must have at least 20 INT and be at least level 8 for Grendel's grant. Once granted, you will be able to become a magician!

Skills for Magicians

There are 6 skills for magicians in all. To level up the skills, press the key k. There will be a screen of skills for magicians. I suggest you put 1 or 2 levels in energy bolt once being granted in the Magic Library, and 1 or 2 in Magic Claw. These are the offensive skills, so you can don't have to use swords while training and leveling up as a magician. Please note that Magician skills use MP, so now not only you'll have to stock up potions for HP but for MP as well. Also, Magicians are the class that uses most MP during their adventures and stories. Now I will show you the skills of magicians:

Magician Personalities

These are the Up's 8))) and Down's Xoooo for magicians.

Up's:

  • Can be able to attack from a distance
  • Can recover MP more than any other jobs
  • Has great fashion for outfits!X)))
  • Doesn't have to use melee much because of long-range attacks
  • Are really smart(if you have the required INT for your level!)
  • Can beat monsters above their levels

Down's:

  • Blunt Weapons make the close-ranged attacks bad
  • Has the lowest HP of all jobs
  • Has to stock up a lot of HP pots because of low HP and especially MP potions because it is used a lot too
  • Becomes hard to level up later on
  • If low INT, can't fight much monsters on their level

Magician Basics

You may think that being a magician is simple, but it is actually a long path to go. Other types of jobs are lv. 10 because those other jobs are easier to master. You have a long way to go, my friend, if you think it's easy. Did you think your story would be easy?

You can fight these types of monsters if your:

Level 8 through 10: Fight Slimes, Stumps(reg.), and/or pigs(reg.)

Monster005.gif Monsters.gif Pig.gif

Level 10 through 15: Fight Octupi (Octupuses), Pigs (ribbon;adv.), Axe Stumps (reg.), Dark Stumps, and Green Mushrooms.

12.gif 11.gif 1130100.png We.gif Mushroom.gif

Level 16 through 20: Fight Blue Mushrooms, Bubblings*, Street Slimes*, Stirges*, and Ghost Stumps*

14.gif 2.gif Gj.gif Ie.gif I.gif

  • *These monsters are levels 17/18-20. Players below these levels please watch your back for these.

Level 21 through 30: Fight Jr. Neckis*, Urban Fungi* (Fungus), Horny Mushroom, Dark Axe Stumps, Pinbooms*, Jr. Sentinals*, Trixters*, Cicles**, Wooden Masks, Zombie Mushrooms*, Krappis*, Rocky Masks*, Wild Boars, Crows**, Cicos**, Killa Bees**, Evil Eyes**, Boomers**, Green Trixters*, Bubble Fish***, Flower Fish***, Feirries (Feirry)***, Flaming Racoons*, Sentinals (Ice, Fire, and Org.)***, Cloud Foxes**, Brown Teddies (Teddy), Cake Monsters*, Drum Bunnies (Bunny)*, Krips***, and Mighty Maple Eaters***.

It will take a long time to display all of these monsters. You can go to [4] for all of the pictures for these monsters!

  • *These monsters are around levels 23 through 26. Players lower than these levels are in danger of death with these monsters.
  • **Danger! Danger! These monsters are for advanced magicians around level 25 through 30. Avoid at all costs if you are lower than these levels. You may or may not die in 1-hit KO while encountering these monsters.
  • ***Really dangerous if you are not at least level 27!These monsters will 1-hit/2-hit/3-hit KO you if you're lower than level 25. If less than level 20, you will die permanently(unless you get lucky by dodging them!)

To go to the Second Job Advancement

You have to go to the Magic Library and talk to Grendel the Really Old. He'll give you a permission slip to go to the 2nd job advancement person, which is on top of a map that is north of Ellinia. Talk to him, and you'll end up in a map full of monsters. Beat these monsters to get Dark Marbles. You must recieve 30 of these in order to become either a Cleric, an Ice/Lightning Mage, or a Fire/Poison Mage. Once recieving all of them, the person will give you The Proof of a Hero to give to Grendel the Really Old. This permits you to officially become either one of the job advancements. Pick any one, and you'll finally become a Cleric, or Ice & Light./Fire & Poison Mage! You can go to my cleric guide by clicking this link:Dejavumage88's Cleric's Guide

Credits

I am giving credit to all of the websites that helped me while doing this guide to help others. The thanks are to given to the following:

http://global.hidden-street.net/ http://maplestory.nexon.net/ http://mapletip.com/index.php

Hidden-Street helped me the most because I got all the resources for the magician attacks there. The main site for MapleGlobal helped me a little by finding out about how you begin the game, roll stat game, ect. It helped me with the begginer parts. MapleTip actually barely helped me at all, because I didn't look at it much often, just at the other sites mentioned. It did help me because I looked at their guides and figured out how my guide should be, too. Anyways, the help of course goes to MapleWiki, one of the most original sites for one of the most famous game on Earth, MapleStory!!!!XD It is thanks to the MapleWiki help such as how to make a guide, bold text, italic text, and all of that cool editing stuff that I made it this far! Of course, you must thank the producers Wizet and Nexon because they're the ones who made MapleStory!
