To make the Arans even more unique, they have a game mechanic that no other class gets to use: the '''combo system'''. Players are able to increase their ''combo counter'' by continuously hitting monsters. As their ''combo counter'' increases, so does their damage. Some Aran skills require the player to build up their ''combo counter'' before they can use them. | To make the Arans even more unique, they have a game mechanic that no other class gets to use: the '''combo system'''.

The Aran is a Warrior-like class that utilizes a combo system, using Polearms as their main weapons. When you create an Aran, the new character will have a default tan skin (except in GlobalMS). Arans starts in an area called Rien, an icy snow covered island with very low temperatures, located in a warm place due to a curse. More than half of the island is covered with snow and ice. Similarly to a Cygnus Knight, an Aran character has a bamboo backdrop on the character-select screen.

Advantages & Disadvantages of Aran
LoreLong ago, five heroes came together to fight against the Black Magician to save the Maple World. Despite their powerful skills, they couldn't defeat the Black Magician. To save the residents, the heroes sent them to Victoria Island before they went to search for the Black Magician for one last time. But the Black Magician was stronger and froze one of the heroes, Aran, with a curse. During this period, Aran lost his memories and abilities. After hundreds of years, Aran awakes to the sound of a girl's voice. Lilin, the only human on Rien and a member of the Rien clan, has waited for the Hero to return. She believes that one day an ancient prophecy will be fulfilled. Lilin is trying to help Aran recover all of his memories and abilities. With Lilin's help, Aran is slowly beginning to recover and adjust to civilization. With training, he will be able to get back his formidable power that he once had before he got sealed by the Black Magician. The heroes are aware that the Black Magician will come back to the Maple World very soon and that this time they will have to defeat the Black Magician for once and for all. Places to trainArans are pretty easy to train, but it is recommended to be an experienced MapleStory player before making one; it's easiest to already have a main character so you can easily fund your Aran. DEXless Arans may not be able to train on higher leveled monsters, depending on how well they are equipped, so use your best judgment.
Second Job Advancement
Talk to Lilin, and the Spirit of the Polearm (Maha) will appear. Talk to Maha and a cutscene will occur, showing Maha. Talk to Lilin again and she will ask you to go to the cave at the very north of Rien. Once you enter the cave, a dream sequence will occur. Talk to the panda blacksmith who is forging your polearm which you used in the opening sequence and he will ask you to hunt some bears for a few items. Once you have collected these items, talk to the panda blacksmith again and a cutscene showing the polearm that you used in the opening scene will appear. Now that you're out of the dream, head back to Rien and talk to Maha again to complete your 2nd job advancement. Third Job Advancement
When you reach level 70, speak to Maha in Rien, and he will ask you to defeat a Thief Crow in Penguin Harbor. Head over to the dock and you will see this Thief Crow. Defeat it and head back to Rien to talk to Maha again. He will then ask you to talk to Lilin, who will guide you to the cave at the very north of Rien. Once you enter the cave and enter the portal, you will be in a dream sequence. Talk to Tititi the Yeti and he will say a Thief Crow is causing mischief (it is the same crow you fought earlier.). Defeat the crow and then talk to Tititi again eating your quest item in the process. He will give you the directions of making an exact replica of the jewel he ate. Head out of the dream sequence and head back to Rien. Following the directions of Tititi, collect a Dark Crystal, 3 Sapphire ores, and 3 Garnet ores. Use the Maker skill to create the quest item that Maha needs. Talk to him again to complete your 3rd job advancement. Fourth Job AdvancementThe fourth job advancement for Aran is surprisingly the most simple of the job advancements. All you are required to do once you reach level 120 is to talk to Lilin, who will then ask you to talk to Maha. Maha will then turn berserk as part of a test and you will need to kill this berserk form. Once you have killed it, talk to Maha again, and you will achieve your fourth job advancement. |
