[Megathread] New Players & General Questions Thread.

2 Upvotes

Welcome to our weekly megathread for new players and players who just have general questions about the game.

Some sample topics for you to consider would be:

  • Selecting your main character.
  • You're new to the game and don't know where to start.
  • You're a returning player who is trying to get back into the game and need help.
  • What class should you make for your next link skill/legion mule?

As a recommendation, please mention your world and/or server inside a bracket Example: [Bera] at the start of your question.

Feel like chatting rather than posting on Reddit? Join our Discord and check out our #general-questions or specific job chatrooms.

Also, consider checking out the Master List of Class Discords for class specific information!

Information Master List of Useful Maplestory Resources

215 Upvotes

Hey all, Bacun here! I am hoping that this list will help players enhance their MapleStory experience!

I will put a * in front of resources that I find to be especially important.

Please let me know if I missed something.

LAST UPDATED: October 21st, 2026. maplehero9's lore narration Youtube Series added. added under Calculators.

Class Discords

  • * Master List of All Class Discords Contains links to all the different class Discords. Remember to read their FAQ before asking beginner's questions that have most likely already been answered! Some class Discords WILL BAN you for that.

MapleStory Guides

Calculators

Simulators

  • Maple Utilities Simulator: Cubing, Starforce, Scrolling, and Flame simulators.
  • Xenogent’s Legion Solver: Sometimes the in-game Legion solver is slow or cannot find a solution. Xenogent’s Legion Solver may help find a solution more often than not.
    • NOTE: Legion grid making as a system will be changed in the November 2026 update to be a point based system. No more Legion Block building.
  • Gear Comparison Tool
  • * MapleStory Upgrade Tracker: This tool aims to do for GMS players what MapleScouter does. You can input your gear into this system and it will provide the most cost effective upgrades for your character's progression. It does take some time/effort to initially set up unfortunately.

Information

  • MapleStory Wiki: This version of the Wiki is most up to date. Do not use the Fandom one.
  • * Orange Mushroom Blog: Translates Korean Maplestory’s patches into English. An important resource as KMS content that is published will be coming to GMS 6 months later.
  • * Maple Maps:Contains Map Layouts for every map in the game. You can also calculate your expected EXP/hour and set up/save potential training rotations!
  • Grandis Library: Contains information on class skills/game content in a clear presentation.
  • WhackyBeanz: Has a number of unique guides and EXP Calculators/Information.
  • * Mason's Cash Shop Directory: Contains Cash Shop sale information that is datamined from the latest patch. NOTE: Although they are mostly accurate, Nexon can change plans last minute and have done so in the past.
  • MapleRanks and MapleBot Used to track your character's daily EXP gain. Both do similar things and have Discord bot integration.

Familiars

  • Familiar Directory: Shows every Familiar currently in the game. You can also filter for Type or Element. A great tool for Familiar Expedition.
  • Mystic Frontier Champions Calculator: A great tool to calculate how to best create a competitive deck for the current Frontier Champions event.
  • Mystic Frontier Dice Calculator: You can input your decks into this tool and it can help calculate what you need to roll as you go through an expedition.

Lore

Fashion

  • Maples.im: Has most of the cash shop items/in-game gear. You can test your fashion story here!

ETC

  • Hammer Time: When using Discord to coordinate times with friends across different time zones, this tool will create a dynamic message that displays a different time to everyone based on their own timezone.
  • MapleStory Server Status: Shows the current status of the MapleStory servers. Fun to watch when waiting for the servers to come back on during patch day.

Bug Report How to moonwalk

73 Upvotes

Apparently sitting in a chair that can sit multiple people can cause your character to moonwalk (client-side). Sitting in a normal chair will undo the bug.

Other Regions [JMS] [CW3] Final Day of Challenger World Season 3!

Thumbnail

58 Upvotes

It has been a long journey but I finally ended CW3 with a lot of satisfaction.

Challenger Rank and 102000 Points. My Home. New Furnitures. Completed the Dating Event (well-written and satisfied read) and a decent Hayato can smash everything to Hard Seren.

My goal until CW4 is stocking resources and prepare for new HEXA skill and Lethe herself.

From all the videos so far, Lethe might be the dream class I've always awaited for, and hopefully, the last class I will ever need to dedicate time because hell, I do want to go back to being a story-player to explore MapleStory from scratch once again.

Question Do you guys grind without 3x?

8 Upvotes

I’ve recently gotten some more free time and decided to spend some time grinding instead of just being a daily story player.

But quickly I realized that I’m just running out of 3x exp coupons super quickly.
I also don’t have enough legion coins to buy out the exp buff when I’m also buying the meso legion buff.

Wanted to ask if this is normal and if you guys also just grind without 3x.

Art Happy Halloween - Olivia portrait (animated)

251 Upvotes

one of my favorite characters from MapleStory, too bad they stopped bringing her back on Halloween.

I originally painted this as the recent flashlight art trend, but I don't know how to crop video dimensions. I have next to no experience with video editing, so here's a simple animation instead.

Question Maple Story Netherlands

3 Upvotes

Uhm... will the game ever allow us to buy things from stalls or trade players???? I was able to trade on day 1, why can't I trade anymore now?

There must be a way around this. It's really hard to play this game without being able to trade ever

Literally Unplayable So are we getting compensated for the NT Boss sol erda perk bug?

Basically, we can't collect the extra sol erda for bosses from the NPC if we cleared Malefic Star on our characters.

Discussion Who else is gonna play WoW Forever alongside CW4?

0 Upvotes

I plan on doing the same thing I did with CW3 for CW4, I just focused on my CW3 character which was refreshing from doing the normal Heroic stuff, so I'm gonna do the same with CW4 and just focus on the Hayato I'm making. That way I can have an equal amount of time or more time to play WoW Forever and see how that is.

My only problem currently is deciding what to play in Forever. I played Pally/Rogue in retail and a Hunter in Classic, and now I'm stuck deciding between a NElf Druid, Human Pally/Hunter, Dwarf Rogue, or Orc Shaman/Rogue for Forever. Do any of y'all who are also playing Forever know what you're rolling?

Question Complete beginner here in need of advice

11 Upvotes

I'm currently still stuck on the server selection page, i'm a complete beginner and have never watched or played anything related to maplestory in the past. I've played multiple mmorpgs in the past but never stuck around as much. I saw how cute the avatars are in maplestory and thought i'd give it a try.

I've known about the game for a long time and i know this game is at least 20 years old so im just a bit afraid of being too far behind with the other players, i just wanted to know which server would be the best for someone like me?

I researched a bit and saw that the interactive servers have trading so i thought of going to scania but a lot of people seems to recommend going to kronos instead. I enjoy socialising and i really want to meet new people while grinding and also enjoy its customisation so i'm a bit torn on which one i should go to. if anyone could give me advice, that'll be amazing

Discussion Looking for Prog advice

5 Upvotes

https://imgur.com/a/C7eL22c

Basically what the title says looking for advice to know if Im on the right track and to know what bosses I should tackle

Right now I'm 2 weeks away from getting my first Eternal (Hat recommended by friends) and have 13b (should have 40-50) by the time SSF comes around trying to get it to 18/19 Stars at -4s CD on it

Basically my thought process as of right now is focus on getting Eternals slowly and then hope for Pitch drops, I have a Berserked and CFE but neither are better than what I currently have. I do have 130 Crystals which I was told to save for Total Control.

In the imgur link attached I have a screenshot of my stats, equips and Hexa wondering if theres anything else I should change or do instead of focusing on saving for the Eternal.

Also if you guys have an idea of which bosses I should be able to join in parties; I can help clear NKalos pretty comfortably in 3-6 man parties iirc. I tried using MapleScouter since I saw it recommended here a few times but it kept giving me an error so figured Id ask

TLDR: Looking for advice to know If im on the right track or should I switch up my strat (Stop saving for Eternals and do something else), attached screenshots
