MapleStory/Beginner

There isn't really much to address about this class; they essentially serve the purpose of being an introductory class. As a beginner, you will not lose experience when you die. It's advised that you make not dying a habit before advancing to your first job because of this. It is also strongly advised that you make a job advancement at the appropriate level (8 for magicians, 10 for the other classes). In some rare cases, there are a few who choose to completely ignore the job advancement, and play MapleStory as a Beginner, usually for the challenge involved.

Common Courtesy
As with all games, there are things to do, and things you shouldn't do.


 * Territory -- While no one "owns" territory (it is Intellectual Property of Wizet), a significant number of MapleStory players grow attached to the area that have been training on for a decent amount of time. This is an unwritten law of Maple Story, and it is suggested that you abide by it, if you value your fame. If you would like to train somewhere, but it has already been taken, then change channels. With 20 channels there are plenty of places for you to go. If you invade someone's territory, then it is most commonly considered Kill Stealing and will cause arguements. While it is incorrect to say that this is as of a wrong thing to do as, say, invading a country in real life, it tends to irritate people a lot, so try not to do that. Unfortunately, in maps such as Pig Beach, the territory is very hard to grasp, and a lot of KS'ing occurs as a result.


 * The etiquette of territory is hard to define, as everyone has different views on how big their territory is. For some maps, a territory can extend to less than 1/8 of the map, or even just one monst. On the other hand, the territory of some maps such as the end of B3, and Zombie Regions, extend across the entire map. However, as you train in that particular map more, you will begin to grasp this common, unwritten knowledge.


 * Kill Stealing -- Many people do this, especially at earlier levels. In essence, this is when a person either invades someone else's territory, or even worse, a stronger, faster player follows around a weak player just to irritate that person. Sometimes, a form of Kill Stealing is used to defend against Kill Stealing. This does not have a name, as it is a rare situation. This typically happens when someone is Kill Stealing, is warned, defamed, and still will not leave one's territroy. Kill Stealing is considered to be rude behavior and generally results in defaming. The Kill Stealing etiquette rule does not apply to boss monsters. In some extreme cases, one may wait for a boss monster such as Mushmom fora very long time, and KSed once the monster spawns.


 * Defaming -- Defames are generally frowned upon, as they can easily lead to mass defames where a gang or guild defames a single person repeatedly. Defaming is a good idea if someone is truly being a disrespectful person, by kill stealing, or otherwise. A defame war is the same thing, except with two groups defaming eachother.

MapleStory Economy

 * Scrolls are worth a lot of money at market value, at least 20k for the worst 10% scrolls... (except HP or MP scrolls, they are worth less than 1 meso) and going up to (at least) 3.5 million for the rare 60% glove attack scroll, depending on server.


 * Ores are really worth 1k a piece. Don't sell them at the store when real people (that need them) will pay 1k for each one. Also, If it's Diamond or Gold ore, sell it a few K's higher. People can sell Gold ores for 10k and Diamond ores for 5k each. However, this price can vary by server, so be aware.


 * The less populated a server is, the higher prices for rare items are. For example, on Scania, a Devils/Chaos Robe may sell for XXXk, while on a less populated or less established (very few high level people) it may sell for up to XXXk x 1.5. At the end of the first week of the Beta phase (Tespia), those who had discovered the Panlid sold it for up to two million mesos (and possibly more if there was that much). At the end of the last week of Beta, the price had dropped to as low as 100k. Once an item becomes obsolete, its value drops greatly as well; example: introduction of the Magician shields.
