MapleStory/Towns/Kritias



Kritias is an upside down tower. It is connected to Leafre in Sky Nest I.
 * Level requirement: 170+
 * Recommended level: 170+

Travelling
There are multiple ways to enter Kritias:
 * Sky Nest I from Leafre, which brings you to Frozen Path 2.
 * Veritas/Pantheon/Shanghai portal to Market in Kritias.
 * Maple Guide teleports (Level 170~200 or by obtaining the stamps by killing 999 Solitude monsters in the same level range)

Similarly, you can exit Kritias by the following:
 * Using the Kerca Porta in Enheim, Academy of Magic to teleport to a town of your choice (like Veritas, Pantheon and Shanghai)
 * Walk to Frozen Path 2 and entering the left portal to exit to Sky Nest I in Leafre.
 * Teleport rock/Maple Guide teleports

The Kritias shop
The Kritias shop is located at the Kritias Market (when you use Pantheon or Veritas teleport to Kritias you will land on that map). It is represented by the NPC Kuelbern. This shop can easily be classified as the best shop in the whole game that is permanent (other than the ridiculously high costs of items). The shop uses 2 type of coins, the Enheim coin (silver, derived from the name of the Academy of Magic) and the Kritias Coin (gold, derived from town name). The shop sells the following items (bolded items are highly sought after):

Inverse Codex
It is a pocket item sold in the shop and has unique characterstics (which is why it has its own section). It is part of the Inverse Set.

Leveling and Stats
You can feed Anti-magic to the Inverse Codex by talking to Ravian. Methods to obtain Anti-magic are seen here. You must be wearing the Inverse Codex to feed it with Anti-magic, where 1 Anti-magic = 1 EXP. Note that it loses EXP everyday (and it loses a ridiculous amount at higher levels).

The Inverse Codex starts off with All Stats +2 and Weapon and Magic ATT +2. Stats can be increased with its level.

At Max Level 13, the Inverse Codex has the following stats:
 * All Stats +5
 * Weapon and Magic ATT +5
 * DEF +150
 * HP and MP +300
 * Damage to Boss Monsters +5%
 * Ignore DEF +5%
 * However in exchange you have to feed 12,975 Anti-magic daily to maintain the maximum level and its stats.

Anti magic and Anti magic stones
To acquire anti magic and anti magic stones, you have to participate in activities in Kritias. Note that you must have an Anti Magic Condenser to collect anti magic.

Weekly Quests
Every week (resets on Monday 12am), you can do weekly quests which can be completed in any order. There are 5 weekly quests. All 5 quests will be given at the same time. You can choose to change up to 5 quests once before attempting the quests.

Quest 5 will be rated separately from quest 1~4 as the reward and quest pool are separate, hence while the requirement is way higher, the rating might suggest otherwise. It is rated with the assumption that quests 1~4 would also be performed.
 * Quests in blue takes a shorter time than average.
 * Quests in black takes an average amount of time.

If multiple quests require the same monster to be hunted, it can be completed at the same time, transforming a quest that is rated more time consuming to be otherwise (especially "Ominous Energy" (quest 5) combined with any burning quest and any frozen quest), if you are intending to complete quest 5. However, be careful, quests asking for general item drops that are not "Quest Item" tagged will be in conflict as they ask for the same item, so you need even more of that item to complete multiple of such quests. (However, they can be obtained even when the quest is not active)

Weekly Quests 1~4
These involves either level 170~174 frozen series of monsters, level 176~180 burning series of monsters, or Level 181 mid level wizards.

They reward 12,000,000 (12 Million) EXP and 2,500 anti magic each (given as an Use item, so if you have AMP entropy active, it will give 3,750 instead. Does not count towards the daily limit). You must have the Anti Magic Condenser to absorb the half magic or else you will not be able to double click to use it.

Hunting
Monsters in Kritias have a low chance to drop a fragment of anti magic. The chance is estimated to be around 2% at 1x. When collected, it is used immediately (10-20 per fragment, additional 50% if AMP entropy is used). The base amount counts towards the 10,000 anti magic limit while the 50% additional from AMP entropy is not counted towards the limit. Maximum daily looting limit (excluding AMP entropy bonus): 10,000
 * You must have the Anti Magic Condenser to collect the anti magic, otherwise you will receive 0 Anti magic upon picking up.
 * The 50% boost is based on the base amount obtained, so if you hit the limit already and obtained 0 anti magic from the ground, the 50% boost will be based on the base amount obtained, which is 0, so the boost will also be 0.

Coins
The acquired anti magic and anti magic stones can be used to synthesise into coins. You can synthesise anti magic and anti magic stones into coins by talking to Ravian in Lenheim, Academy of Magic. You can check the amount of Anti Magic Points that you have by double clicking on your Anti Magic Condenser. Note that if you threw it away, your anti magic will be retained, so do not worry about throwing it away in the case of an emergency freeing of inventory (such as Elite Boss). However you will need to buy another one for 5,000 mesos.
 * 700 anti magic is needed for an Enheim coin.
 * 1,200 anti magic and 1 anti magic stone is needed for a Kritias coin. (You need both of them to change for a coin)
 * Note
 * Anti magic stone cannot be broken to form anti magic, and neither can you fuse anti magic to form anti magic stones.
 * You cannot break the Enheim coins and Kritias coins to form Anti magic or Anti magic stones.
