==Perma Beginners==
'''Perma Beginners''' (also known as '''Perma Noobs''', can be shortened farther to Pb or Pn) is short for the term "Permanent Beginners." Permanent Beginners do not make any job advancements. Instead, they spend their entire life as a [[Beginner]]. This article will explain the Perma-beginner, and to make a successful one.  Before you continue it is recommended for people to fulfill the following requirements:


'''Perma Beginners''' (also known as a '''Supernoob'''), is short for the term "Permanent Beginners." Permanent beginners do not make the job advancement, they instead spend their entire life as a [[Beginner]]. This article will explain the Perma Beginner.
*You are funded (not necessary, as being un-funded does not really matter, you will earn more mesos as you get stronger . The equipment is also cheaper)
*You want a challenge
*You are patient
*You can stand many questions from cuurious/naive/ignorant people
*You have a lot of perseverance


== Pros & Cons ==
There are two types of Perma Beginners:
*The [[Maple Island]] type, often called an [[Islander]] (<small>may also be a [[Camper]]</small>)
*The normal type


''The pros of being a perma beginner:''<br>
Islanders are perma-beginners who stay on [[Maple Island]], and do not take Shanks's ship to Victoria Island.
*Never lose exp when you die.<br>
However, for Islanders, it is harder to train because the strongest monster on Maple Island is the [[Orange Mushroom]], only giving 15 EXP per kill, which has been reduced even further after the Ascension patch. The monsters on the island drop very few equipment items that can be used by islanders, and absolutely no weapons other than the razor (and the starter weapons) can be obtained there.
*Cheaper cab rates means saved money.<br>
*When you reach levels 30 and up, people will be amazed and interested.<br>
*Unique, forced equipment style.<br>
*Challenging new gameplay element for older players who have grown tired of the game.<br>
<br>
''The cons of being a perma beginner:''<br>
*Not many items to use or wear.<br>
*Harder to level.<br>
*No special abilities.<br>
*Can't activate some quests.<br>
*Weaker than all characters.<br>
*Never get to use MP.<br>

==The Perma Beginner Beginning==
==Pros & Cons==
'''Pros'''
Your dice roll should be similar to that of a warrior. That means Str: X Dex: X Int: 4 Luk:4/5<br>
*Never lose experience when you die.
Your first ten levels should be similar to those of a warrior. Add 3 points to strength and two to dexterity.  [However, you do have a lot of free room to do whatever.  It's perfectly fine to put all your stats into LUK, or even INT, though I don't reccomend it. INT gives you mp, and you never use mp. LUK will not give you any attack.  Come to think of it, you could put all stats into DEX, so that you'd have better accuracy than anyone!]  Complete Maria's quest to earn your hat and around level 10, complete Biggs' quest to get a better weapon. This is where the two "types" of Perma Beginners forms.<br>
*Cheaper cab rates (And strangely, Camel Cab) means saved money (90% discount).
<br>
*When you reach levels 30 and up, people will be interested, and if you manage level 100 - astonished!
If you want, you can stay on Maple Island and train on an assortment of snails and mushrooms. Or, if you would rather go to Victoria Island, talk to Shanks around level 15 and leave. Staying on Maple Island makes it very hard to train, but around level 20, you should be able to kill Orange Mushrooms in one hit. If you can stick it out and train on those for the rest of your character's life, you will become one of the strongest characters ever on Maple Island.<br>
*Unique equipment selections (tubes/surfboards/roses)
Note:Part of being a supernoob is having style and being unique and different. If having a ordinary sword looks cooler than a better one, use it!
*New, challenging gameplay elements for veterans who have grown tired of the game.
*No need to waste money on MP Pots (Unless you plan to use Three Snails as a utility), or Armour (Until level 50+).
*Can still look awesome, and a few items can still be worn only by beginners. Example: Maroon Mop. It's the strongest weapon in the game (Only pertains to [[MapleSEA]]).
*Able to use nearly every type of weapon effectively (120% Mastery Rate for all weapons)


<br>
'''Cons:'''
===Training for Perma Beginners===
*Harder to level.
*Skills obtained are weak.
Those who want to train in Victoria Island should loosely follow the training pattern of a warrior.<br>
*Can't activate some quests (many of which award valuable scrolls).
<br>
*Does not get additional item slots (becomes problematic when collecting equips)
Levels 10-15 Snails and Slimes in the later levels.<br>
*Weaker than all other characters.
Levels 15-20 Red Snails, Slimes, and Pigs in later levels.<br>
*People will put you down (ex "Why don't you get a job stupid n00b?").
Levels 20-25 Slimes, Pigs, Ribbon Pigs in later levels.<br>
*Can get boring at times. On the other hand, with a main character, a beginner can be very fun, like a vacation.
Levels 25-30 Slimes, Pigs, Ribbon Pigs<br>
*Sometimes harder to get into upper level Party Quests (Orbis, Pirate - <small>easy to get into KPQ and LPQ/LMPQ</small>).
Levels 30-35 Ribbon Pigs, Wild Boars<br>
Levels 35-40 Ribbon Pigs and Mostly Wild Boars<br>
Levels 40-45 Wild Boars<br>
Levels 45-50 Wild Boars and possibly Fire Boars in later levels.<br>
Levels 50-55 Wild Boars and Fire Boars<br>
Levels 55-60 Fire Boars and possibly Copper Drakes<br>
Levels 60-65 Fire Boars and Copper Drakes<br>
Levels 65-70 Copper Drakes and Crocos<br>
<br>
"Why does the training guide stop at level 70? I thought you said I could keep going!"<br>
Yeah, you can, but to be quite honest, from about level 55 to 70 is a mystery for training locations on Perma Beginners. Very few people have ever reached past even level 40 as a beginner. Perhaps if you stick with it, you could help determine better areas to train.<br>  
This training guide should not be strictly followed. If the enemies are too strong, train on weaker ones. If the enemies are too weak, train on stronger ones. Just kill each monster in 1-2 hits. Perma Beginners are about being unique, so don't obsess over a strict training regime.

Perma Beginners (also known as Perma Noobs, can be shortened farther to Pb or Pn) is short for the term "Permanent Beginners." Permanent Beginners do not make any job advancements. Instead, they spend their entire life as a Beginner. This article will explain the Perma-beginner, and to make a successful one. Before you continue it is recommended for people to fulfill the following requirements:

  • You are funded (not necessary, as being un-funded does not really matter, you will earn more mesos as you get stronger . The equipment is also cheaper)
  • You want a challenge
  • You are patient
  • You can stand many questions from cuurious/naive/ignorant people
  • You have a lot of perseverance

There are two types of Perma Beginners:

Islanders are perma-beginners who stay on Maple Island, and do not take Shanks's ship to Victoria Island. However, for Islanders, it is harder to train because the strongest monster on Maple Island is the Orange Mushroom, only giving 15 EXP per kill, which has been reduced even further after the Ascension patch. The monsters on the island drop very few equipment items that can be used by islanders, and absolutely no weapons other than the razor (and the starter weapons) can be obtained there.

  • Can get boring at times. On the other hand, with a main character, a beginner can be very fun, like a vacation.
  • Sometimes harder to get into upper level Party Quests (Orbis, Pirate - easy to get into KPQ and LPQ/LMPQ).
