MapleStory/Quests/Jump Quests


 * ''This is where specific guides to jump quests go. The rewards, locations, requirements and so forth go on the previous page.

A jump quest is simply a quest that requires you to reach a certain distance and retrieve items which are required for a quest. The character must jump across several platforms to reach a portal, usually located at the top or far right of the map. The items are located at the end of the quest in the form of an NPC which the player must double click to retrieve the items. The first time the quest must be completed is usually as part of a quest given by an NPC. These quests may be repeated for 2 random ores, depending on the jumping quest, harder quests giving better ores. There are often obstacles to make the quest more difficult. These range from super enemies who have extremely high evasion, but only do 1 damage, to varying obstacles that will knock you off your platform (also doing 1 damage).

John's Pink Flower Basket
Obstacles/Monsters: Small spiked balls and Big spiked balls This is a relatively easy jumping quest which doesn't require a complete walkthrough. However, here are some useful tips.

There are two screens to pass in this jumping quest

Most, if not all balls can be ducked under in this. Use this to plan quick jumping and ducking.

When going down one step, you do not have to jump. Just walk off and you will land on the next lower step.

There are a few places where getting hit gives you an advantage, particularly the long flat platforms in the second map. Getting hit prevents you from getting hit from other balls, letting you reach the next part of the map.

The second map requires a lot of patience. You will need to concentrate a lot to get past this screen.

At the top of the second map, you will find some pink flowers. Double click the flowers to receive your reward.

If you reach the flowers and you have already completed the quest, you will get 2 ores of Adamantium, Bronze, Mithril, Silver, Orihalcon, or Steel

Doing this quest time and time again is common practice for everyone in need of ores.

Obstacles/Monsters: Wolbi stars and Mokbi stars There are two screens to pass in this jumping quest

Time your jumps carefully.

For the first map, jump only on platforms with sacks on top but watch out for some which make you fall. Just make sure you jump on the platforms with the sacks all facing the same way, that is if you're standing on a platform with a sack facing left then you know to only jump on the platforms with the sacks facing left and not the ones facing right.

For the second map, patience and timing is your friend. I recommend taking the left side firstly wait for the stars to pass and get to a safe platform on the left and duck if necessary. Then when you are halfway up timing is all you need, and a bit of patience, do not rush this bit can be done without being hit. Finally, when you reach the top bit and it seems impossible to dodge any stars then your right, you have to get hit to get past this part. Here's a tip the Mokbi stars hit you back and the Wolbi stars hit you forward, oh yeah and don't duck 'til the last bit then just jump up onto the saw platforms and then its easy from there, just jump over the saws and it doesn't matter if you get hit.

Be careful in this stage, the Wolbi stars although it is easy to dodge since they can only move vertically, avoid being hit by them at ALL COSTS. They can knock you all the way down to the ground.

John's Last Present
Obstacles/Monsters: Slimes, Jr neckis, Mokbi stars, Wolbi stars, Grinders, Pendulum axes.

This jump quest is the absolute final one out of all the jump quests, it is considered the second hardest of all the jump quests by most players (Sabitrama's second request is harder). This JQ has three maps. If your a mage, BRING A LOT OF HP POTS!!! The pendulum axes hit a nasty chunk out of your hp around 60 damage, warriors and other classes with their hp above 1k shouldn't worry too much about being hit. If your a cleric, bring mp pots instead of hp pots since you can just heal. The first stage is fairly hard, the bottom is ridden with slimes and neckis and its gonna get annoying if you fall and try to climb back up. Ahead there are some grinders which is gonna get in your way plus its knockback is kinda harsh if you can't counter it with the arrow keys. Plus the mokbi stars are gonna be a real pain to avoid.

The next stage thankfully is easier, there are a lot of platforms with grinders (oh no) but its easier than the first. If your dodging technique is good, you shouldn't have much trouble with this stage. The only thing to watch out for is the few pendulum axes at the top.

The final stage is the HARDEST out of the three stages. Pendulum axes are gonna be very hard to avoid in this stage which is why its a very good thing for mages to bring hp pots and should watch their hp at all times. This stage is separated into two parts, the bottom consists of pits that send you back to the start so with good jumping, you should make it through. The pendulum axe platforms are a pain and it's almost impossible to avoid all without being hit. Once your through, the second part consists of small platforms which is swarmed with mokbi stars and wolbi stars. Try not to get hit otherwise you'll end up at the bottom of stage 3. Yes these annoying stars can really screw up your efforts so hope for the best and the pink flowered earrings are yours!(If you haven't done the quest).

Shumi's Lost Coin
Construction Site B1  WALKTHROUGH Obstacles/Monsters: Moving Laser, Electric Wires, Jr Neckis, Stirges

The first part is separated into four areas. The first and second area you shouldn't have much trouble with it. The third area may prove to be a bit irritating to do. The fourth area is considered the hardest part in this Jump Quest as it is nearly impossible to get hit by the laser. Try to take advantage of knockback by allowing yourself to get hit back rather than fighting it otherwise you'll fall.

The second part is considered annoying but you've gone through the worst of this jump quest. Stirges will try to get in your way by knocking you off the small platforms and to make matters worse, the electric wires will be a nuisance too. There is a way to prevent yourself from getting knocked off of a platform when hit by a laser. When it is descending towards you, quickley jump AT THE LASER! This will cause you to fall back down and land right back on the platform. Take advantage of the four-second invincibility thing that occurs after you get hit and jump to the next platform. Also, when you encounter the electric wires that shoot beams from one orb to another, duck right under one wire to prevent yourself from getting zapped. Once your through, you got a 99 minute time limit to hunt bubblings or you can just look into the chest. Congratulations, you have passed through Shumis first Jump Quest!

Shumi's Lost Bundle of Money
Obstacles/Monsters: Lasers (The ones that appear and dissapear), Moving Laser, Stirges.
 * Overview:
 * Part 1: There are 3 ropes, and lasers. Take the left rope, get used to the stalling spots, and get to the top.  Next, there are lots of lasers, and platforms crowded together making a 'stair' formation.  At the top, go to the second platform from the right or the far left platform.  The far left platform takes you to the right side of the next part, and the second from the right takes you to the left side of the next part.  The other platforms at the top will 'toss' you around.  Next, the platforms are shaped like a W, and depending on the platform you pressed ^ on, you will be on the right or left point.  Climb to the top, duck until the lasers are gone.  As soon as they disappear completely, climb up the ladder.  The lasers will FINALLY be gone!  Well, except for the one in the middle.  There are lasers going through the middle only, and one going up and down like in the lvl 20 one.  There is a 'square' of platforms going around the edge, go to the top of it and wait for the lasers to disappear and the moving laser to be at the bottom.  Climb up to the portal.


 * Part 2: Start and fall down here. Press ^ on the light, and climb to the top of the room.  Go behind the wall, jump again.  If you're lucky you will land on the portal, if not you will have to climb.


 * Extra:Jr. Wraiths and Jr. Boogies galore! If you want to get it over with click on the treasure chest.

Part 1, section 1: Take the left rope and look for stalling gaps. Part 1, section 2 and 3: You can duck in some places, watch the lasers. Part 1, section 4: When at the top of the square, wait for everything to leave.
 * Guide:

Part 2, section 1: Fall, fall fall Part 2, section 2 and 3: You can duck or even stand up in some places, but don't think that the floor is actually solid...

Extra: Get in the subway by going into a sign and walk to the ladder past the treasure chest.

Shumi's Lost Sack Of Money

 * Part 1: This is a jump/wait run. Bat things will block your way sometimes, and to get through them quickly, you should get hit by the electric fences.

The fastest way to do this is to get hit by the electric fences. Electric fences push you to the left one "jump", and turn you invincible. Tricks include jumping when the electric fence is on, allowing you to jump to the left and up at the same time, while turning you invincible. This allows you to avoid bats easily.

It is much easier and faster to just jump/wait. But if you jump for ores, you need to master hitting the fences to avoid the bats.


 * Part 2: The fastest way is to do a non-stop run through the map... it is hard to explain but easy to show. Just hold down right and keep jumping. There are only 3 spots you need to stop and wait. If done correctly, you should be done in just around 30 seconds. The ABSOLUTE perfect time includes getting hit by a few lasers to push you forward, and you end up around 28 seconds time.

It should be noted that the fastest way through on your first run is to just jump and wait, jump and wait. It takes much practice to beat this part like the masters, and the jump wait cycle does not take long to do either. A "perfect run" takes just under 30 seconds, and you should have only 1 "wait" the entire jump time if you do it correctly. Masters aim for "nearly perfect" runs, that takes a bit longer than 30 seconds and only wait 2 times the entire time. (once in the middle, and once on the end)

Just like Part 2, it is much faster to jump and wait on your first try. But if you plan to be jumping for ores, you should learn how to master Part 3.
 * Part 3: The fastest way to complete this map is by getting hit at certain places. Red Horizontal lasers push you 1 jump to the left, Red Vertical Lasers push you right 1.5 jumps (so you have to jump into vertical lasers for it to work for you), blasters push you down or to the left/right 1 jump, and electric fences push you one to the left.

Sabitrama and the Diet Medicine
Obstacles/Monsters: Spears, Lupins. First you will enter a very tall map. It contains stair-like platforms. Be cautious, these platforms are rather distant from each other, so try to jump from one to the other as close to the edge as possible. When you get to a stair intersection, you can choose the left or the right path. Be sure to check your mini map, this way you'll know which path has a missing step. If you do take the wrong way, you'll be forced to jump back down and take the other direction. If you come back down, make sure you JUMP back down. Do not try to walk down a platform, because they are too far apart and walking will ensure a sad fall to the bottom! Near the top of the map, there are two lupins chucking bananas. Try to avoid them otherwise you'll wind up at the bottom.
 * Step 1:

The next stage is smaller, but time wise, it's longer. First, there is a vine you must climb. Of course, though, there is an obstacle that would make this normally simple task difficult. But not too difficult. Simply avoid being hit by the bananas peels thrown by the Lupins (again). If your timing is correct, you should pass it safely.
 * Step 2:

Then you come to the spears. These obstacles shouldn't be too difficult to pass, so long as you time yourself carefully. Only jump to the next platform, of course, when the spears are down. Then, you should come to a structure at the far left with two sets of spears "stabbing" at different times. Wait for the bottom most spear to eject, position yourself under it, via crouch, wait until it "stabs" again and then jump to the middle platform and crouch. Wait for the top-most set of spears to "stab" and then jump to the top. Now, you come to more platforms with more sets of spears. These spears are positioned in the same area, one over the other, and stab at different times. There's a trend to these obstacles of course. Normally, all you have to do is wait for the opposing obstacles to "stab"/"jab"/"throw" at the same time and then move forward. So, anyways, back to the spears, wait until the two sets of spears stab in opposite directions, at the same time, and then jump, hopefully, safely to the next platform. WARNING! If you get hit by the spear that comes downwards, you'll get hit downwards thus ending up in the bottom!

At the far right, you'll come to a structure that was much like the structure at the far left. Only... this ones got three set's of spears... making it just a bit more difficult. But just as you did on the structure on the far left, position yourself safely beneath the bottom most set of spears (via crouch), wait until the spears eject at the same time, and then jump all the way to the top platform. If you do get hit by the spears, calm yourself now! You won't help yourself by panicking and jabbing the jump button in hopes of making it to the top! This is after all, the forest of PATIENCE. If you feel your heart racing or something, you might want to take a deep breath and grab a glass of lemonade. If you didn't get hit by the spears, and have made it to the top of this obstacle, then Congratulations! You're almost there!

After you give yourself a good pat on the back, you find yourself facing a few more platforms. But these aren't simple, walk across, this quest is finally over platforms. These platforms have got thorns (or something!?) sitting smack dab in the middle of them. But no worries if you simply tap the arrow key, walking towards the spikes, instead of jumping like mad, you'll receive little damage and jump/slide, to the left of the thorns. You'll be faced with a couple more rows of these thorny platforms, so simply repeat the step mentioned before, (walking towards the spikes), and you should be fine. I wouldn't recommend trying to jump over these thorns, because I've heard that there are a few platforms with "thorns" both on the bottom and top of the ledges, and jumping up into these thorns might ensure a sad fall to the bottom of the level. Now, you'll be greeted with a rather long platform, some vines... and lupins. Lovely. Though, this portion of the map is probably the easiest part to pass. Just as it was in the the beginning, it's all about timing yourself. Of course, if you come between two Lupins and there peels, just time yourself like you did with the spears. When they BOTH throw the peels, up the vine you go. There are gaps between the Lupins all along the vines, in which you may rest/time yourself/grab a bite to eat, so long as you position yourself correctly. And that should be it. Get yourself through the first vine, up to the platform, jump to the next, down the second vine, on the platform, jump to the next platform, up the last vine and avoid the Lupins and their peels. If you're hit, and fall from the vines, no worries. There's a rather long platform beneath the vines that should save you from a fall to the bottom of the map.

BUT If you're a risk taker, and are not in the mood to maneuver your way through two vines and those annoying Lupins, there is a sort of short cut through the first two vines: You are able to situate yourself on the platforms that the Lupins are standing on. But do so at your own risk. While standing on the Lupin platforms, you are still able to be hit by the Lupin's peels, and you will most surely fall in the seconds that you find yourself atop the Lupin platform. !!!Here's the trick: Make your way half-way up the vine, About... three Lupins up, position yourself over the third Lupins' Platform, wait until both Lupins (on the left platform) have thrown their peels, and jump onto their platform. (Remember, you'll only have seconds before you're hit) Make your way, by either jumping or falling to the left of the platform and grab onto the vine, quickly climbing your way down and onto the platform. But you must not stop here(!), for the bottom-most Lupin is still able to hit you with his peels. Either crouch to avoid the peels or jump to the next platform to the right. Take a deep breath. You've reached the last vine. Make your way up, with good timing and positioning, you'll avoid all peels. When you reach the last three Lupins, don't stop when you've only past two of them, because the third Lupin will still be able to harm you with his peel. Wait and watch all three Lupins, and when they ALL throw their banana peels at the same time, up the vine you go. When you reach the top of the platform, all you need to do now is hop up the tiny platforms and make your way to the pile of flowers. If you're doing a quest, be sure to check your quest menu to check which bush/flower you need to get. If you choose the correct one, you'll get a scroll. If you choose the wrong one, you'll receive 5 elixirs.

Sabitrama's Anti-Aging Medicine
Obstacles/Monsters: Jr neckis, Spears, Lupins. This has three parts. The first part contains far-wide jumps. You should have your feet sticking out before jumping. The second has platforms going up in stair form with jr. neckis on them. My suggestion is that to wait for the necki to go to the other side of the platform and then you should go move and get by her, this will make you jump a little back but won't make you fall. Then keep doing this until the end. Near the top has some spikes just like in Step 2. The third part has lupins throwing bananas in straight lines as you try to navigate the platforms. It is hard to explain so just take your time and try to learn and decipher while you do it.

To finish this quest you need to pick the correct ginseng (there are 4 different ones). The reward for this quest you will get a star rock (you can use it for lvl 45 manji's quest, or to forge a wedding ring). If you redo, you'll get bc, gold, diamond, and sometimes red hearted earrings (rare).

The missing mechanical parts
There has been a debate on whether this is a jump quest and most people do consider this as a jump quest. You have 20 minutes to complete this jump quest. The aim unlike the other JQs is to collect 10 mechanical parts from boxes scattered in one long horizontal map with a line of conveyor belts at the top. It is recommended that mages or other classes that has low hp to bring hp pots simply because the tricksters in the map deal very nasty damage around 100 damage or so. The conveyor belts in the map are very annoying. Although there are some solid platforms, most boxes must be reached by jumping on conveyor belts. Correct timed jumps must be done in order to reach to other boxes. Even though this is a fairly hard jump quest, it is not the hardest. Reward : 10%/60% shoes for jump or 10%/60% shoes for speed

Cat in the Cheese Warehouse Jump Quest
This JQ is currently only avaliable in KMS, it involves the player turning into a rat and evading the cats within the jump quest to reach the end. Not much else is known as yet.
