Maple Story Player Guide – event
Although the beginner is not equipped with any specials skills, there are still basic, crucial skills such as walking, jumping, sitting, climbing up the ladder etc. to be mastered.
Once your character reaches level 8 / 10, you may choose to undertake any of the five jobs; warrior, magician, bowman, pirate or thief.
The requirements and the places for the job advancement differ from job to job. In MapleStory, 5 job advancements are available for your character.
Users are notified of an upcoming event by a scrolling box at the top of the game screen. Events are known to bring an influx of players to the event’s respective locations, which generally causes massive connection lag.
Special events include Christmas tree events, wedding events, drawing events, and quest events; for example, players might be required to find an item and return it to the event quest NPC or GM.
Occasionally, certain versions of the game hold events that celebrate a certain event in real-life or an event specific to that version, such as a holiday or new server release. During these events, certain aspects of the game are modified in celebration; for example, the experience rate or drop rate may be increased, or special items may be released.
The Global Cash Shop markets items for two virtual currencies: Nexon Cash (NX Cash), and “MaplePoints”. NX Cash is purchased outside of MapleStory through the MapleStory web site. MaplePoints, however, can be earned through special events.
Prepaid cards, obtained through events or bought from stores, are available in MapleSEA and GlobalMS. In the US, the Nexon prepaid cash cards are currently available in nationwide (US) Target stores. An event has been added, named “Spot On” to introduce the partnership. Completing the quest involves talking to two NPCs who give information about the sale of cash cards. Nexon prepaid cash cards have become available from other additional stores.
