Maple Story Guide

When you are starting to play Maple Story, you do not start off as any particular character class as a Maple Story player.

Instead, you will initially start off as a beginner when you play the game.

Nevertheless, before you even create your Maple Story character at the start of your game, you will want to know which character class you are going to be ahead of time.

At the character creation phase when you create your character, you will be able to roll a pair of dice that will randomly generate your statistics for your character.

It is very important to know which character class you are planning to become in Maple Story so that you can receive the statistics layout that will work best for you and your character class.

There are 4 main Statistics for your reference:

STR (Strength) - Determines Melee Attack Power

DEX (Dexterity) - Determines Accuracy and Avoidability, Bowman's Attack Power

INT (Intelligence) - Determines Spell Accuracy & Magician Attack Power

LUK (Luck) - Determines Avoidability & Thief's Attack Power

Currently, Maple Story has several classes of characters:

Warriors are melee fighters. They do not use range like other classes and can only hit their target up close.

Magicians are the Magic powers of Maple Story. They are not able to melee but they can weld damage by the use of their powerful spells and insane power that they posses at high levels.

The Bowman class is a very fun class to play. They do damage from afar with their bows and crossbows.

A thief is a very under estimated class. You may not think so but a powerful thief is able to do an insane amount of damage as they get higher levels.

Think of what character class you wish to become in Maple Story, and generate the required statistics for your character in order to maximise your character's power!

Donald Lim is a Maple Story game enthusiast. Along the process of learning how to play Maple Story better, he chanced upon the web site of a Professional Mapler, John. He managed to convince John to write several Maple Story Guides for new and seasoned Maplers, and so www.FreeMapleStoryGuide.com was created.

Warriors are melee fighters and they are unable to use range attack like other character classes in Maple Story. This means that they can only hit their target up close.

Warriors have the most health and defence in the game which enables them to be able to withstand taking hits from their enemies.

While Warriors can render a lot of damage per hit, they always have to be within short range to the enemies during attacking which can become plain and boring at times.

The Pros of using Warrior as your character class in Maple Story are as follows:
1. Warriors in Maple Story have the highest HP and Defence among all the Maple Story classes.

2. They have the choice of 5 different weapon types to choose from.

3. Warriors can choose between one-handed weapons and two-handed weapons.

4. They can receive nice skills such as Slast Blast which allow them to kill multiple enemies concurrently with a single strike.

And the Cons of using your Warrior character in Maple Story are as follows:

1. Being a Warrior means that you are unable to do range attacks from a distance to attack the monsters.

2. They have a low amount of MP in comparison to other character class such as a Magician.

3. Warriors' damages during attacks can be unstable at times as the damages that they caused can vary a lot.

4. They have low Accuracy and Avoidability when compared to other Maple Story characters.

The above helpful pointers serve as a warrior guide for you when choosing your Maple Story character.

Magicians are the Magic Powers of Maple Story. They are also one of the most fascinating character class inside the Maple Story game, which makes them one of the most popular character class among Maplers.

Magicians are unable to melee (attack at close range) but they can render huge damage by the use of their powerful spells and insane power that they possess at high levels.

Magicians are able to do a monstrous amount of damage to multiple enemies when they are at high levels during the Maple Story game play.

The Pros of using Magicians as your character class in Maple Story are as follows:

1. Magicians in Maple Story can render high damage during the 1st class job advancement.

2. They can cast multiple attack spells such as Magic Claw.

3. Magicians have high amounts of MP when compared to other character classes such as a Warrior.

4. They can use Magic Guard as a form of defence to take damage from enemies.

And the Cons of using your Magician character in Maple Story are as follows:

1. Magicians have low Health and Defence statistics if you compare them to other Maple Story characters.

2. They are not able to melee, meaning they cannot attack at close range to the enemies.

3. Magic Guard takes up a lot of Mana when Magicians are using them.

4. It can be very hard for Magicians to master certain types of attacks.

The above helpful pointers serve as a Magician guide for you when choosing your Maple Story character.

A thief is a very under-estimated character class in Maple Story.

Not many people really know how to play a thief character when playing Maple Story for the first time.

You may not think so but a powerful thief is able to do an insane amount of damages as they progress through higher levels in the Maple Story game.

Thieves can be very fun to play with once you get very good at them.

As a thief, you will have the choice to either use range attack or use melee attack on your enemies.

Either way, a thief is a very fun character class to play with but it will take you some time to master your thief character well.

The Pros of using a Thief as your character class in Maple Story are as follows:
1. A Thief can execute extremely fast attacks.

2. They can use range or melee attack, making them quite versatile when it comes to attacking their enemies.

3. Thieves have the ability to execute jump attacks.

4. They possess high accuracy and avoidability.

And the Cons of using your Thief character in Maple Story are as follows:

1. A Thief has low HP and Defence level.

2. Dagger thieves will take a while to level their characters.

3. Assassins will cost a lot of mesos to operate.

4. Thieves are very abundant.

If you are tired of playing with the other Maple Story characters such as Warriors, you may want to have a change of character class and try your hand at being a thief!

The Bowman character class in Maple Story is a very fun class to play with.

They can render damage upon their enemies from afar with their bows and crossbows.

They are able to knock foes back with each attack while delivering powerful blows on them.

As a Bowman in Maple Story, you will receive powerful multi-fire attacks and you will be able to kill enemies without even being near to them.

2. They can attack their enemies from a distance without having to go near to them.

3. A Bowman is a very uncommon class, and their Weapons and Armours are usually cheaper in most cases.

4. They possess knock back ability.

And the Cons of using your Bowman character in Maple Story are as follows:

1. A Bowman is guilty of inflicting unstable damages upon the enemies, until his job advancements.

2. They are unable to melee attack their enemies.

3. A Bowman takes a long time to level until their second and third class advancement in the game.

4. They do not have high HP or high MP levels as compared to the other character classes such as Warriors and Magicians in Maple Story.

If you hate fighting up-close with the enemies like what a Warrior character in Maple Story does, it can be quite exciting to be a Bowman, watching and inflicting damages upon your enemies from a distance!
