Your First Hour in MapleStory Classic World

Character Creation

Choose your starting class wisely. Each class has unique strengths:

Warrior：High HP and defense, great for beginners

Magician：Powerful magic attacks, low HP

Bowman：Ranged attacks, good mobility

Thief：Fast attacks, high luck-based damage

Starting Stats (AP Distribution)

• Warrior: 4 STR / 4 DEX / 12 INT / 5 LUK → all AP into STR

• Magician: 4 STR / 4 DEX / 12 INT / 5 LUK → all AP into INT (need 20 INT to job advance at Lv 10)

• Bowman: 4 STR / 13 DEX / 4 LUK / 4 INT → +4 DEX per level, +1 STR per level

• Thief: 4 STR / 4 DEX / 4 INT / 13 LUK → all AP into LUK, source DEX from gear

First Steps

1. Talk to the NPC in your starting town (Southperry on Maple Island)

2. Complete the tutorial quests — they give free equipment and mesos

3. Head to Snail Hunting Ground (Lv 1-5)

4. Save up mesos for better equipment at the NPC shop

5. At Level 10, talk to your Job Instructor to job advance

Important: No Pirate Class

Classic World does NOT have the Pirate class. The four original classes are Warrior, Magician, Bowman, and Thief.

Tips

• Don't skip quests — they give significant EXP early on

• Save your mesos for weapons, not potions

• Party with other players for faster leveling

• Check the Wiki for optimal training spots at each level

• Pick up ALL drops — even junk equipment can be sold to NPCs for mesos

• At Level 12, unlock the Citizenship system for town discounts
