Quest Items

Quests

I don't know about you, but I didn't look at all the quests in the game, so I didn't know what items would be needed. Nearly all maple story sites have a guide to quests that explains what items you need for each one- but those go by level. So when I was doing quests, I would just go to the page for the level I was at. Well, this got annoying. See, by not looking at future quests, I sold a lot of items that I ended up needing and had to go out and get them again. Maybe its just Murphy's law, but the monsters seem to drop items a lot less when you need them for a quest. So I thought I'd make a page on this wiki that lists all the items you'll need for quests, so you know what to save and what you won't need. A few things to note: this list only covers the items needed for the Victoria Island quests level 30 and below, and only includes quests in the Global version.

Mules

If you try to hold onto all these items, you'll find that you don't have enough space in your inventory. Some of them you'll use up early on, but you also have to take into account other items you'll have. Maybe you want to have Omok or Match Card sets. Or maybe you're out training and pick up items that you don't need for quests, but want to keep so you can sell them to other players or NPCs. Then there are all of the ores you'll need. There aren't many on this list, but you definitely need ores. Some of the later quests need them, and you will also need ores to make equipment. You might be wondering where you can keep all this stuff! Well, there is an asian man in each town who can store items for you. This seems great, but he can only store four types of items. So what many players do is create a Mule character. This is a character that you make solely for the purpose of holding onto items that your main character isn't currently using. You don't have to bother training the character or buying equipment for it, just make the character and bring it over to Victoria Island. You can also use a character you've abandoned for one reason or another, but make sure it is in the same world (Broa, Bera, etc) as the character you need to keep stuff for! I like to keep mine in either Henesys or Perion. After you get the character over, there are two ways of transferring items. The more expensive but safer way is to use the asian men. They stand in front of what appears to be a treasure chest, and are in every city. If you use the one in Perion, you will be able to get the items from all the others. To use them, just use your main character to give him the items, then log out. Go to an asian man with your mule, and take the items out. Then repeat until your mule is holding all the items you want it to. The other way is more risky, but is faster and free. First, get your mule into the Henesys or Perion Free Market and go into one of the stalls. Then, go back onto your main character and do the same thing. Be sure to choose a channel that isn't very crowded and make absolutely sure that nobody else is in the Free Market on that channel, and WRITE DOWN THE NUMBER. Get on one of the ledges furthest from the main entrance, and drop the items you want to store. Then quickly log off and get on your mule character ON THE SAME CHANNEL AS BEFORE. Go to where the items were dropped and press the Z key until you have them all.

If you got a friend who plays MS then transfer it to him and log on with your mule account, and get them back. This method is definitly cheapest and safest!

Other Tips

1) Just because you can do a quest at a certain level doesn't mean you should. Two examples are the level 10 Blackbull quest and the level 15 Maya quest. For the Blackbull quest, you usually get a level 15 shield (sometimes level 25). You're definitely going to have trouble killing the monsters to get the firewood, so don't bother doing it yet. If you're not a warrior, you don't even need the shield! For the Maya quest, you get a hat that you can't use until level 25. You'll probably have trouble killing octopusses, and don't even consider trying to get the charms of the undead yourself. Save this quest for later too. You can buy the items you need, of course, but what's the point? If you can't use the item yet, don't bother!
