NOTE1: JOB INSTRUCTOR SPECIAL HAT QUEST

This quest is only available for GMS (Global MapleStory) players. You will need to be at least level 18 and under level 40 to complete this quest! Talk to your respective Job Instructor. Below is a list of classes with their respective job instructors with location.
Job/Class – Job Instructor (Location) – Hat Rewarded
Warrior – Dances with Balorg (Perion) – Andras Hat
Bowman – Athena Pierce (Bowman Instructional School) – Amdusias Hat
Magician – Grendel the Really Old (Magic Library) – Marbas Hat
Thief – Dark Lord (Thieves’ Hideout) – Valefor Hat
Pirate – Kyrin (Kyrin’s Training Room, Navigation Room) – Crocell Hat

NOTE2: ENTERING STRONGHOLD

There are 3 ways to enter stronghold, either completing Stronghold Quest at Level 165 or Empress Quest at Level 170 or ask a high level Bishop to open a path from nearby town to the map via Mystic Door. Only then you will be able to enter that map! The monsters there are very powerful, can kill most warriors in 3 hits since those mobs are practically mini bosses who are immune to skill effects such as Seal, Stun and Freeze. If you try to enter by yourself via Future Ereve without completing quest or Mystic Door, you will be greeted by a message “Security is too tight” preventing you from accessing the map.

PARTY QUESTS TRAINING

Party Quests (PQ in short) is another method of leveling up where 2 or more players cooperate to complete a quest. This alternative is much more fun compared to grinding endless hours on the same monster since completing each party quest stage will reward you with a sum of experience and drops which could be either potions, equipment (weapon / armor) or valuable ore (jewel / mineral). Access to any one of these party quest map through Dimensional Mirror aka Multi-Functional Portal. This portal is located in every city and it has a purple door frame topped with a crystal golden crown. Each party quests have its own specific level restrictions and requires 2 or more party members to complete the quest.

LUDIBRIUM PARTY QUEST – DIMENSIONAL CRACK

The objective of this Ludibrium PQ is to fix up the dimensional cracks and save Ludibrium from approaching danger. Visit Ludibrium: EOS Tower 101st Floor or enter map via Dimensional Mirror Portal amd talk to Red Sign after assembling your crew. Alishar will be the boss who you will face. It can seal skills (prevent you from activating skills) and inflict darkness (reduces party member’s accuracy). Therefore, stock up on All-Cure Potions to counter this effect. Having a Cleric in your party will be an advantage so they can provide healing support while the attackers can focus on attacking.

Level Requirement: 20-69
Party Members: 3-6
Time Limit: 20 minutes.
Stages: 5 Stages + 1 Boss Stage
Rewards: ??? EXP + 33 Willpower + 20 Insight + Broken Glass (Talk to Red Sign upon completing this PQ 35 times to obtain it)

MAGATIA PARTY QUEST – ROMEO AND JULIET PQ

Therefore there are 2 versions of this quest where Juliet version is located in “Magatia: Alcadno Society” lab and Romeo version is located in “Magatia: Zenumist Society” lab. If you go for Juliet version, your objective will be to protect Romeo from Frankenoid (the boss) and vice versa. After defeating the boss in either version, the couple reappears united in the boss room. To start this party quest, assemble your party members and head to either Zenumist or Alcadno Society in Magatia. Enter a hidden door and have the party leader talk to either Juliet or Romeo respectively.

Level Requirement: 71-85

MONSTER PARK QUESTS

Talk to NPC Spiegelmann to obtain 2 quests, both are repeatable everyday.

Quest 2 : Collect an Old Envelope dropped by the monster inside the dungeons.

MONSTER PARK EXCHANGE COINS FOR REWARDS

Each Spiegelmann quests rewards 5 Monster Park Commemorative Coins upon completion.

EXP RELATED FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions regarding bonus EXP multiplier!

What EXP (experience boosting) items that stack?
2x EXP Cash Shop Card
2x EXP Event (Hot Time)
1.8x EXP Welcome Back Ring
1.5x EXP Legends Never Give Up! buff OR 1.3x EXP Coin Shop buff
1.5x EXP Holy Symbol
1.3x EXP Spirit of Pendant OR Crusader Zeal Ring

How to calculate EXP Stack Multiplier?
2X EXP Event (Hot Time) –> 2 x 1 = 2
2X EXP Card Type 3 –> 2 x 2 = 4
1.5X EXP Legends Never Give Up! –> 4 x 1.5 = 6
1.5X EXP coupon (Stacks with 2X EXP Card) –> 6 x 1.5 = 9
1.3X Legends EXP Coupon (Does not stack with 1.5X Legend Never Give Up)
Final: 9X EXP
Assuming you are training on Scarecrows, each giving 220 EXP per kill, 220 EXP multiplied by 9 EXP Rate results in 1980 total EXP per kill! In other words, you are basically leveling 9 times faster than your usual training without EXP boost.

If apply EXP Boosting Skills:
1.5X Holy Symbol (Magician – Priest Skill) –> 9 x 1.5 = 13.5 (Assuming party in 2 or more)
1.1X Mercedes Link Skill –> 13.5X x 1.1 = 14.85
