My name is Charizard.You may call me Char or Eiko. I play only in MapleSEA, Aquila on my Current Fire Mage , Antorche. Nice to meet you if you are reading my guide.Some you may ask why choose a mage, right? Among the 4 jobs, here is the pros and cons of being a mage... Pros ---- Can attack near and far Can teleport n attack when the skill is forming The Mage is the easiest to earn money very fast. High attack at lvl 24+ onwards. Have the highest MP of all classes. Most popular Class Easy to train and levels fast. High Magic Defence.(Means that you receive less attack on you when special attacks are casted on you by the monster.) ------------------------------------------------ Cons ---- Mage gear is quite expensive. Lowest HP of all classes. Hard to jump and attack together Armours are the lowest defence of all classes ------------------------------------------------ Mages have 3 classes, you may choose to be a fire wizard, ice wizard or cleric. Here are the pros and cons of being a fire mage compared to the rest of the wizards... Pros ---- Their damage is higher than ice and cleric(at around levels 40 - 60) Around level 50 - 60,meditation is not really needed since the attack is very high. Cons ---- (In Aquila, Fire wizards are very uncommon. I had a rumour from a friend that in Cassipeoia,90% of the wizards are fire wizards.) Cannot attack multiple monsters at a time in 2nd job. Training places are usually snapped up quite fast (eg. Jr Yeti map) Have to on magic guard when training most of the time (unlike cleric) Waste about 4 times more MP pot than HP pot when training with magic guard. ---------------------------------------------------------- You are only allowed to choose 1 job so please do decide carefully as you dont want to regret wasting your time training, do you? =) ==================================================================== Beginning --------- Choose your world and click the button, Create a character . choose your own character and name then get on with the dice roll. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Dice Roll --------- This is how a magician's alibity skills should be.... Str:4/5 Dex:4/5 Int:Any number Luk: Any number If you want a really perfect magician, your Str and Dex should be 4 each. Str and Dex are least needed for magician and mostly most useless skills. If you ask why, the answer is... It's because mage need alot of Int to cast attacks on monsters and the more Int you have, the higher your damage will be. Str wont do anything to increase your magic attacks. Int and luk is also required to wear certain level clothing. When you reach level 8, you should have 11Luk, as Luk must always be 3+ more than your current level and you should have about 30 to 40 + Int. =========================================================================== Where to train? --------------- Lvl 1 to 5 -Green snails, Blue Snails(Maple Island) Lvl 5 to 8 -Blue snails,Shrooms,Red snails(Maple Island) Killing Red Snails from level 5 onwards is now pretty much easier since Maplestory has currently released Beginner Skills for you to make attacking easier. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beginner Skill Book ---------------------------- When you level up, you can see a Beginner's Skill Book by pressing S. Open it up and look at the skills. Skill Book --------------- Three Snails Master Level : 3 Hurls snail shells that attack monsters from a few distance. Recovery Master Level : 3 [Can only be used every 10 mins] Recovers your HP constantly for 30 seconds. Nimble Feet Master Level : 3[Can only be used every 15 mins] Boosts your speed for a short amount of time. -------------------------------------------------- No skill tree is recommended for this except that if you want to train a little faster, you may want to add one skill into Three Snails so that you can hurl snail shells at monsters. THe rest of the skills are up to you on where you want to dump it at. And, one more thing. You can only have 6 SP in all for this Beginner skill book. SO... allocate your your skills wisely. You also cannot use any of the beginner skills to add it to the 1st job skills. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you reach lvl 8, immediately go to SouthPerry and take the ship to Lith Harbor, which costs 150 messos. Go and take the taxi to Ellinia and go to the top, where lies the Magic Library. Talk to Grendal the really old and you will become a magician, after he gives you a short talk! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1st Job skills -------------- Open your skill book by pressing S on your key board. Improving MP recovery Master Level:16 A must to max this is if want fast MP recovery. Improving Max MP Increase Master level : 10 Must max this ASAP if you want to have tons of MP. Magic Guard Master level : 20 Max this so that your damage will be taken by 80% off your HP to mp. Magic Armour Master level : 20 A skill that boosts your defence by 40 when maxed. Magic Bolt Master level : 20 Put 1 skill into this to activate magic claw. Magic Claw master level : 20 Attacks a monster twice . Skill tree that i would recommend ---------------------------------------------- lvl 8 - 1 magic bolt 9 - 3 improving mp recovery 10 - 2 improving mp recovery 1 improving max mp increase 11 - 3 improving max mp increase 12 - 3 improving max mp increase 13 - 3 improving max mp increase 14 - 3 improving mp recovery 15 - 3 improving mp recovery 16 - 3 improving mp recovery 17 - 2 improving mp recovery 1 magic claw 18 - 3 magic claw 19 - 3 magic claw 20 - 3 magic claw 21 - 3 magic claw 22 - 3 magic claw 23 - 3 magic claw 24 - 1 magic claw 2 magic guard 25 - 3 magic guard 26 - 3 magic guard 27 - 3 magic guard 28 - 3 magic guard 29 - 3 magic guard 30 - 3 magic guard -------------------------------- total : 1 magic bolt max improving max mp increase max improving mp recovery max magic claw max magic guard --------------------------------------- Do not put any skills into Magic Armour. Why? When you max it, it only gives you a boost of 40 defence. It can be pretty useless. Magic guard is better as it cuts off your hp damage by 80% so there is no need to waste skills putting points into Magic Armour. ----------------------------------------------------------- Some of you may want to start the difficult way by putting 1st skill into improving mp recovery. Well, this method is not really recommended unless you have a friend who will train you till you have magic bolt or you can keep attacking with Three Snails. =================================================================== Places to train --------------- lvl 8- 14 - stumps and slimes in The Field South of Ellinia,Slime Tree and Southern Dungeon I lvl 14 to 17- orange mushroom and slimes at the Slime Tree,Southern Dungeon I,Kerning City Construction Site,Mushroom Garden lvl 17 to 21- pigs, ribbon pigs at The Field South of Henesys, Pig beach lvl 21 to 24- green mushroom, horny mushroom, bubblings,stirge,Dark Axe Stump and Axe Stump lvl 24 to 30- horny mushroom,stirge,party quest -------------------------------------------------------------------- ==================================================================== 2nd job advancement ------------------- When you hit lvl 30, go back to the magic library and talk to Grendel the really old. He will say you have become much more stronger and will pass you a letter, asking you to take it to the magician job instructor near Ellinia. Head to the Forest North of Ellinia and go for the tree passage right to the top. jump up the rope and go all the way up till you see the magician job instructor.talk to him and you will be transported to Magicians Tree Dungeon. Collect 30 Dark marbles and talk to the magician instructor again. you will be transported outside again and you will receive poof of hero.take that to grendel the really old and choose your 2nd job as Fire/ Poison Wizard. you are a Fire / Poison wizard from now on! ========================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Skill Book ----------- Placing 2nd job Skills ---------------------- MP Eater : master lvl :20 It allows you to absorb your enemies MP while you are fighting. Meditation : Master lvl : 20 It boosts your magic attack . Teleport : Master lvl : 20 Allows you to teleport at a certain distance. the higher the level of this skill, the less MP you waste and the further distance you can teleport.

Poison Brace : Master lvl : 30 A poison based skill that poisons monsters at a certian success rate. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recommended Skill Tree ----------------------------------- Lvl 30 - 1 teleport 31 - 1 mp eater 2 fire arrow 32 - 3 fire arrow 33 - 3 fire arrow 34 - 3 fire arrow 35 - 3 fire arrow 36 - 3 fire arrow 37 - 3 fire arrow 38 - 3 fire arrow 39 - 3 fire arrow 40 - 3 fire arrow 41 - 1 fire arrow 2 mp eater 42 - 3 meditation 43 - 3 meditation 44 - 3 meditation 45 - 3 meditation 46 - 3 meditation 47 - 3 meditation 48 - 2 meditation 1 teleport 49 - 3 teleport 50 - 3 teleport 51 - 3 teleport 52 - 3 teleport 53 - 3 teleport 54 - 3 teleport 55 - 3 mp eater 56 - 3 mp eater 57 - 3 mp eater 58 - 3 mp eater 59 - 3 mp eater 60 - 2 mp eater 1 slow 61 - 3 slow 62 - 3 slow 63 - 3 slow 64 - 3 slow 65 - 3 slow 66 - 3 slow 67 - 1 slow 2 poison brace 68 - 3 poison brace 69 - 3 poison brace 70 - 3 poison brace ----------------------------- total : max MP eater Max meditation max teleport max slow 11 poison brace max fire arrow -------------------------------------------------- Why max teleport first then MP eater? ---------------------------------------------------- Fire Mage's attacks are quite high so there is not a need to have MP eater first. Max teleport first as it uses up alot of mp to use it. Playing with Poison Brace ------------------------------------- Well, when you are round level 40, some how some of you may get bored of having just Fire Arrow or Magic Claw and end up putting one skill into Poison Brace. That can also be ok as if you are bored of training, you may want to poison a monster and laugh and watch the fun as it turns green and bubbly looking. ================================================================== Recommended Places for Training ------------------------------------------------- lvl 30 to 32 - cave of evil eyes,roosters/ducks in Shanghai Wai-tan lvl 30 to 35 - Cave of Evil Eyes lvl 32 to 44 - Garden of green 1(jr grupin) lvl 41 to 45 - Jr Grupin, Jr pepe lvl 44 to 49 - Jr pepe (b1 tower),Cold Eyes,Drakes,Copper Drakes,Zipangu:A Night in the Forest lvl 49 to 55 - Jr Yeti in Watch Out for Icy Path 1,Stone Gollem level 53 to 55 - Stone Gollem,Dark stone gollem,cold eye,block gollems,king block gollems lvl 55 to 60 - Grupin,Jr yeti,Hidden Tower(in Eos tower with occasional Rombot) lvl 60 to 70 - Grupin,Yeti,Coolie Zombie,White Pang,tiger/fox in Korean FOlk Town,Jr Yeti,Zipangu:Vanished Village, Hideout in Showa aka parking lots ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ====================================================================== Making 3rd Job -------------- First go to the Chief's resident in El Nath. Talk to Robeira, the 3rd job instructor for magician.She is the one floating a little in the air. She will pass you something after u talk to her. Now go to Obris and take the ship to Victoria Island and talk to Grendel the Really Old. Read what he says and go all the way to The Forest of Evil 2, where lies many maladays flying around. In this area, you will find the Door of Dimension for Magicians. Talk to it and it will bring you to fight Grendal the Really Old's Dark Side. Remember, once you are in, the timer will immediately start.YOu are given 20 minutes. Quickly get all you need ready and walk till you come to a portal and press up on it. Then drop down and start fighting the "Dark Side" which is actually Grendal the really Old 's clone. Once he reaches a certain amount of HP, he will summon usually 2 tauromacis at a time. The maximum number of Tauromacis he can summon in total is 4.Sometimes, when you are lucky, he may not spawn a tauromacis on you. WHen you kill the "clone", quickly pick up the Black charm that it dropped and quickly get out before the timer runs out. Then go back to Grendel the Really old to give him the Black charm. He will hand you a necklace and you must go and board the ship to obris and go El Nath and give Roberia the necklace. She will take it and give you a different necklace. Then prepare 1 black crystal which can be dropped by a Yeti.Then go to sharp Cliff 2 and press up at the big brown door you can see .after climbing down sometime and you will appear at Holy Ground at the Snowfield. Go down and talk to the Big rock there and answer its 5 questions. If you get anyone of the questions wrong, you will need another black crystal to try again.
