MapleStory/Quests

Quests are tasks that players may perform for NPCs for rewards and experience. An abundance of quests are available, each with varying level requirements and some having additional requirements such as job, fame or the completion of another quest. For example the quest "Building Blackbull's New House" requires 10 fame, a level requirement of 30, and the completion of "Fixing Blackbull's House". Some quests have quite a low level requirement for their difficulty and are literally impossible to complete straight away. Different rewards such as experience can be received by the player after completing certain quests, and some have substantial rewards. Some quests can be redone after completing it for the first time, though the reward(s) and given EXP may not be the same (all jump quests are repeatable with random rewards). Unlike most MMORPGs, it's not possible to escape the grind by completing quests.

Party Quests/Accompaniments
Party Quest(a.k.a. PQ) is a term that was created in the Global version, suspected because it was easier to type. MapleStory's official name for Party Quest is "Accompaniment". In the Japanese, Korean, and Global versions, there are 2 accompaniments that can be done. Each accompaniment has its own level limit which a character must be within in order to complete the accompaniment. The 1st Accompaniment is in Kerning City. A party of 4, including the leader, goes through 5 stages solving puzzles and killing monsters within 30 minutes. The main idea is teamwork, since each part requires all party members to participate. At the end, a prize is given to each person ranging from ores, equipment, scrolls to potions. Only one party can be inside the party quest at any given time on one channel. There is also a time limit for completing each stage of the party quest. The time is inaccurate, though, as it usually does not boot people out until about 30 seconds have elapsed after the minutes are over. The level limit for this accompaniment is 21-30.

The 2nd Accompaniment can be done in Ludibrium. There are 9 stages to this quest, requiring 6 party members. This quest pushes on the fact that a variety of jobs are needed to complete the quest. The many skills each character has, such as Haste, Heal, Darksight, and Teleport are needed in order to pass some of the stages. This accompaniment has a new attribute that the first one does not, boxes. Boxes are opened by using a melee attack, opening the box either drops a pass, or spawns monsters. After defeating the boss on the 9th stage, there is a bonus stage in which characters open boxes. The boxes will drop lots of coins, potions and sometimes, a random equipment (earrings, and capes). After this stage, which lasts for 1 minute, the prize is given. Prizes consist of potions, ores, and equipment. The level limit for this accompaniment is 35-50.

Another party quest for characters level 50 and above is the Zakum Party quest. Differently from other party quests, many parties can enter this quest at the same time, and typically multiple parties are required to finish it. In any Accompaniment, there is also a large amount of experience to be won.

The Accompaniments have been heavily criticized for being a very extreme timesink, sometimes in the order of hours of near inaction. Many players don't have the patience to wait or the skill to secure entry. Before MapleStory began to raise their level of security as they left the Beta stage, most players relied on 3rd party hacks and macros such as Autoclickers that allowed them to click the Accompaniment NPC automatically several times, allowing the leader to relax from the clicking. GameGuard now detects most autoclickers, although some users can create programs to bypass the detection.

Jumping Quests
There are a number of Jumping Quests in MapleStory. On GlobalMS, the following NPCs give a Jumping Quest if the character meets the required level:
 * Shumi at Kerning City (3 quests)
 * John at Lith Harbour (3 quests)
 * Sabitrama at Sleepywood (2 quests)
 * Assistant Cheng at Ludibrium Toy Factory (1 quest)
 * Adobis at The Door to Zakum (1 quest)

A character starts at one part of a map, and uses timed jumps to get from one small platform to another, while attempting to avoid enemies and obstacles that can knock the character off of the platform, causing them to be forced to either start over from the beginning, or, if the character is lucky, from a certain point somewhere above the beginning. Jumping Quests can become highly annoying if the character continually falls off. Success in these quests requires great patience and control. An impatient person who gets furious whenever he/she falls is less likely to succeed than a patient jumper that perseveres. Jump quests will also fit the background of which town the quest is located in. Shumi's jump quests will require jumping platforms in a subway, avoiding Stirges, Jr. Neckis, laser beams, electrical wires, and oil splats. John's quests involve jumping tiny platforms while dodging balls of spikes and moving stars. Sabitrama's quests require dodging spears, thorns, and Lupin's that throw their bananas. Assistant Cheng's one quest requires riding conveyor belts and dodging Trixters. Adobis' quest puts the jumping over a pit of lava, with rocks falling from the ceiling.

Jump quests can be done again and again to receive random ores and jewels each time, except Adobis' quest which always rewards EXP and a quest item on completion.

Adobis' Zakum jump quest's reward for EXP has been removed due to fly-hackers.

There are also two unofficial quests in the Pet Parks located in Henesys and Ludibrium. They are relatively simple top-to-bottom climbs, but they reward only closeness for a pet (2 in Henesys, 4 in Ludibrium). They may be accessed at will and repeated whenever desired, regardless of level.

Speed and Jump boosts, along with movement skills such as Flash Jump and Teleport do not work in any Jump Quest.

Chief Stan's Letter
(This quest is a rip-off because the cheapest you can buy both tickets is for 4,000 mesos, which means you only get a net profit of 3,500 mesos. The highest you might pay though is 20,000 mesos for both tickets, leaving you with a net profit of negative 12,500 mesos.)

 * The Ore of Dark Crystal is a great quest to do in conjunction with this quest since your required to kill many Drumming Bunnies to complete this quest.
