GMS

Due to the new patch in Global Maple Story, you no longer have to follow AP builds from either levels 1-8 (magician) or 1-10 (rest of the jobs). Because, when you talk to your advancement intructor, you will be able to reset your AP (4 is the minimum). Due to that it is recommended that beginners only put AP into strength to be able to train quicker and speed up the leveling process.
