Welcome to StrategyWiki!
Hello PirateIzzy! Welcome to StrategyWiki. Thank you for your contributions. If you have any questions, just contact a sysop through their talk page or post on the staff lounge, and they'd be happy to help. If you need help editing, check the StrategyWiki Guide or visit the IRC channel to chat, we're usually around. On the other hand, if you have ideas for StrategyWiki, bring them up on the forums. To keep up-to-date with the goings on of the wiki, consider adding the noticeboard to your watchlist.

Feel free to delete this message from your talk page if you like, or keep it for reference. Happy editing! — 16:46, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Fantastic Theme Park
This is the first time I've seen it spelled that way. Is that a translation or what version writes it that way in English, in game? -- 16:47, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Talk pages
Let's just pick one or the other, shall we? I think the wiki is easier to communicate on, and its transparent for any collective efforts. I replied on South Perry but would like to continue here. Also, when adding a new comment, please create your own header rather than put an unrelated message under someone else's. There's a + icon that will help you avoid formatting the heading code (the equal signs that make the text large and appear in the table of contents). -- 05:05, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not mad. =) Oh, also. It's usually best, with most Wiki users, to post on their talk page each time instead of replying here, if you thought about it. However, if the discussion is more collaborative, instead of just questions, replying below is better. Oh, and you didn't need to create another new section since I moved your first comment down. I'll combine them for you. Use colons at the start of the line to indent your message further, to separate each reply visually (I'll do the first one for you so you can see in the source how simple it is). -- 06:16, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Alright, gotcha. Oh, and Daimyo is actually called "Daimyo Toad", according to Southperry and Maple Archive databases. --PirateIzzy (talk) 19:59, 12 December 2012 (UTC)


 * According to my screen, while I'm fighting him, it isn't :P -- 22:54, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

MapleStory changes
Paco has never played MapleStory. He's just good at organizing things, so you'll have to be specific if working with him. Like he said, tagging images with the deletion or rename templates, with a reason, will help direct his efforts to help you get stuff done. I haven't gotten to Neo Tokyo yet so I can't help verify the correct image. -- 19:31, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Alright, thanks for the heads up. I'll keep it in mind. --PirateIzzy (talk) 19:47, 15 December 2012 (UTC)


 * If you want to include non-GMS monster data, I recommend that you create second section/table on each page for the regional version that they apply to. E.g. on MapleStory/Monsters/Level_21-30 you re-added Ashigaru and some other monsters that are not in GMS. As a GMS-guide, we don't care about this, which is why we removed it. Add ==KMS== if need be, but please do not add these non-existent monsters back into the main tables. -- 20:47, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Actually, I never re-added it. It was already there while I was editing the page. I just never bothered to remove it. --PirateIzzy (talk) 20:55, 15 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Is it okay with you if I just remove it? -- 21:12, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

By all means, go ahead. --PirateIzzy (talk) 21:16, 15 December 2012 (UTC)


 * I did add Ashigaru back (based on global.hidden-street DB), so it's not PirateIzzy fault, but mine. Paco (talk) 21:23, 15 December 2012 (UTC)


 * That's ok, it's removed. Also, Izzy, I'm not sure what to do about Daimyo. Only the Crusader Codex displays its name as that; perhaps we should only reference it by that name in the notes of the monster and on the MapleStory/Crusader Codex page (which needs a lot of work). Oh, and the "Sweetheart Mushrooms, bears, and Calico Mack" can be removed. I've never seen them before. -- 21:59, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Well, when you hover over the boss icon for Daimyo Toad, it shows the "Toad" part. The NPC doesn't have the "Toad" part in it, because of the storyline for Sakura Castle. In the story, the Daimyo was captured by the Gigatoad, and the Gigatoad disguised itself as the Daimyo. That's why the Daimyo comes out of the chest after Gigatoad is defeated. --PirateIzzy (talk) 22:33, 15 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I defeated him recently and saw it and realized my confusion. I am familiar with the storyline (see MapleStory/Sakura Castle - I made that page), but I thought it was a naming error on Wizet's part. Thanks again. -- 18:56, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for all of your help. -- 18:44, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

You're welcome. --PirateIzzy (talk) 19:33, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Copyright vs fair use
For screenshots, sprites, item icons, etc. these things fall under fair use. I've never seen a game company get pissed about putting images up on a website. They would probably get mad if you started publishing a magazine with stuff in it. It's good to credit your source, just to be respectful. It also lets people know its legitimate or if you've made modifications or something. You can be as specific or as vague as you want. -- 20:22, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Image categorization
When uploading images, please make sure to categorise them using the correct image categories and the guide-specific category, i.e.  Category:Game Name images. Please see our image policy for more details. Thanks for helping to keep our images neat! I will also take care of your Renaming/Deleting Requests tomorrow. Paco (talk) 21:24, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Yeah.. I really screwed that up. I completely forgot about it. My mistake. --PirateIzzy (talk) 21:29, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Aswan (PQ/monster info)
I love Aswan, and have been wanting to create a page for it for over a month know. I just haven't had a good idea of how to organize it with the other pages. To me it's more like a mini-dungeon than a PQ, since it can be solo'd, but since it can be a PQ (and because of the Hilla branch of it), it should probably just be considered a PQ.

This may be the time to do an overhaul on the PQ parts of the table of contents. I would prefer to expand the list to show each of the PQs individually, rather than have the large, ambiguously organized pages that we have now (e.g. competitive, boss, cooperative, battle). However, we could use those as headers in the table of contents, since they are a good way to classify the PQs. It's just a bad way to hide the information since they are not used in game so only people who dig through our pages will understand whats in them.

The Aswan page, with strategies and monsters, should be at MapleStory/Aswan for now unless we find a better name. -- 17:23, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Sure, if it feels more organized to you, then go ahead. And about Aswan, the thing is that there are a ton of monsters in Aswan, and I feel the PQ monster page would be too cluttered if I included it there. --PirateIzzy (talk) 19:16, 24 December 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't think it needs to be split up into separate pages. MapleStory/Fight for Aswan should be the actual page, as it matches the dimensional mirror title. We'll just use five different level one headings (two equal signs) to separate the different modes. Each mode has four tiers of monsters, but the monster itself doesn't change, just its stats, so we could come up with a simplified table, if necessary, after all of the monsters have been added. -- 20:32, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Well, I meant one page for all of the modes. That page works fine for me. --PirateIzzy (talk) 23:45, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

You can create pages, too
You don't have to be an admin to make a new page. Just go to it and start editing. For Ellin Forest quests, see MapleStory/Quests/Ellin Forest. Also, Ellin Forest isn't a theme dungeon, yet. Though I can imagine that it will be soon. -- 16:30, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
