Beginner Guide

Things to do

You'll start off on Maple Island. Follow the in-game instructions. The NPCs you meet will give you some tasks. If you already know what you're doing, skip all but the second one -- it gives you 3 Red Potions. When you're done with the tasks, feel free to kill some snails to level up. Beginning Magicians and Thieves should stick to ordinary Snails.

A few maps east (right), you'll find Maria. She'll give you a task, which has a pretty good reward. To get to Amherst, take the top exit at the right of the screen (as opposed to the bottom exit). After talking to Lucas, return to Maria. The reward is a piece of level 5 headgear. Put it on if you meet the level requirement. You now take less damage!

The next quest is more difficult. You shouldn't attempt it unless you're planning to be a Bowman or Warrior. The NPC is Biggs, in Southperry (bottom exit from the split road). You need 30 Blue Snail Shells and 10 Orange Mushroom Caps. The snails shouldn't pose a problem to you, but the mushrooms are another story -- they're fast, take a few hits to kill, and do a lot of damage to you. The reward is a better weapon. Either a Razor (level 5) or a Fruit Knife (level 8). The Razor is much more common.
If you're a Magician or a Thief and you still want to do this quest, just buy the Mushroom Caps from another player.

Your ultimate goal here is to reach level 10 (or 8 if you're planning to be a Magician). Just keep killing those snails and/or mushrooms, and take a break if you get bored. When you finally reach level 10 (or 8 for Magicians), the NPC on the far right of Southperry will take you to Victoria Island for a cheap 150 mesos.

Interesting training spots

Here's some maps that are little known. You can usually train there with little disturbance, even on Channel 1!

Maps which link from Field West of Amherst

They contain a variety of monsters. For most of these maps, the Orange Mushrooms are on the bottom, and the weaker monsters on top.

Snail Field of Flowers

Weird name, I know. Contains all types of snails, as the name implies. You get there by entering a house in Amherst, then taking the portal which is outside the house.

Tomato Field

Maple Island's only hidden map. You get there by going to the right side of the Field East of Amherst. On one of the platforms there is some tomato plants. Press the UP arrow there. There's Snails and Orange Mushrooms in this map.

The First Job Advancement

To make the first advancement, you need to go to Victoria Island. Find the ticket booth in Lith Harbour and talk to the NPC there. Go to the appropiate town, for a small fee.

• Warriors - Perion
• Archers - Henesys
• Thieves - Kerning City
• Magicians - Ellinia

Find the job advancement NPC. If you followed this guide properly, you shouldn't have to worry about the stat requirements.
