MapleStory/Training locations

It is advised that you only hunt monsters that you can kill within 4 hits. It is highly suggested that a player seeks the best exp giving monster he/she can one or two hit KO. A player can acquire more EXP in a short amount of time from numerous lower level enemies than one giant enemy. For example, you may be able to kill a monster in one hit that gives you 1/4 the experience of a monster that takes 16 hits. In the time it takes to kill four of the small monsters, you would have acquired as much experience as damaging the larger monster to 1/4 of its health. To maximize your experience gain and minimize the amount of time you have to spend killing monsters, you should pay attention to how much experience you gain from each enemy, and how long (how many hits) it takes to kill them. Higher leveled characters (80-90+) may train better at monsters which require more hits, such as Death Teddies and Spirit Vikings, because of Area Effect attacks.
 * Note

Levels 1-10
The best place to level is the intro area for your class. These areas are:
 * Explorers: Maple Island. Potential Magicians should avoid doing Bigg's Collection of Items quest as killing Orange Mushrooms takes a very long time. For Magicians, at level 8 go to Ellinia and advance to First Job, then train on the nearby Slimes.
 * Cygnus Knights: Ereve.
 * Resistance and Demon Slayer: Edelstein.
 * Aran: Rien.
 * Mercedes: Elluel.
 * Cannoneer: Coco Island.
 * Mihile: an old man's shop.

Levels 11-20
Some characters are still in their intro at this point.
 * Explorers: pick a town, such as your class's town (Ellinia for Magicians, Perion for Warriors, Kerning City for thieves, Henesys for Bowmen, and Nautilus Harbor for Pirates) and do all of the quests in them. These towns often give class-specific rewards, so doing quests in Henesys as a Warrior is not very helpful.
 * Aran: at 14, after finishing all of the quests you can take the ferry that will take you to Victoria Island. Speak to Tru in Lith Harbor to continue the Aran quest line.
 * Demon Slayer: there are more quests in Edelstein.

Levels 20 to 30
Try to participate in a Party Quest (Level 25+). Good training locations are listed below, but the same locations as levels 11-20 are probably still effective.
