'''Q''' (October 27,2018): What is the normal attack rate for demon slayer lvl 95? and how do I increase my attack rate? | |||
'''Q''' (September 16, 2012): I get a compatibility warning when I try to run the game. I have also get an error while the game is loading, which causes it to close. I am using Windows Vista or 7 64bit. How do I get the game to work? | |||
:'''A''': some people recommend turning on compatibility mode for the program. An easier fix is to make sure you are running it as an administrator (you will need admin privileges on your user account to be able to do this). Go to C:\Nexon\MapleStory and right click on MapleStory.exe. On the menu select "Send To" and then "Desktop (create shortcut)". Go to your desktop and find the new MapleStory icon (you may want to rename the MapleStory icons on your desktop to distinguish them) and right click on it. Select "Properties", then "Advanced", make sure the "Run as administrator" box is checked and and click ok on each menu to make the change. Run the shortcut, the compatibility prompt may still appear, run the program, Internet Explorer should open, click "Play" and login. The compatibility prompt may appear again, run it, and the game will load and log you in automatically if you have cookies enabled. | |||
'''Q''' (January 1 2012) I used to play maple like about four years ago? At that time I remembered that there was a choice to randomise stats to get the desired stats but now the stats for beginners seems to be standard? - STR 12 DEX 5 INT 4 LUK 4. Is there a way to randomise stats like before? | |||
:'''A''': No. | |||

'''Q''' (October 2,2011): I just bought NX from the online store at "nexon.net". I checked the game twice and it's not there. How long does it take for the NX to actually get to my account so I can spend it? | |||
'''Q''' (September 11,2011): I am searching for a party for Zakum / Papulatus / Horntail, Where do I go? | |||
:'''A''': Usually the lobby for the quests on channel 1 will have people also searching for a group. Joining a guild can also help find people. However, checking some of fan site forums for people looking for groups will probably get the best results. | |||
'''Q''' (november 26, 2011): how many mesos is considered rich? | |||
'''Q''' (September 11,2011): I reached lvl 120, and my Mastery Books seems really expensive. Is there a fast way to get the books without paying legendary amounts of mesos? | |||
:'''A''': Hunting the monsters, selling any items that drop that you don't need is generally the best way to make enough money. Prioritize which are the most important masteries to get, and focus on those. | |||

the "E" stands for Event, and usually appears only when a server event is occurring, like Double EXP or Double Drops. N means "New", and only appears on the two newest servers. Occasionally, an "H", which stands for "Hot", can be seen, and this is used to attract users to a less populated server. | the "E" stands for Event, and usually appears only when a server event is occurring, like Double EXP or Double Drops.

No, however it is necessary to kill a monster to allow for a boss to spawn, because maps have a limit as to how many monsters can be there at one time. Killing a monster will empty a space and allow the boss monster to spawn, however it doesn't matter whether it is an Iron Hog or Fierry. | No, however it is necessary to kill a monster to allow for a boss to spawn, because maps have a limit as to how many monsters can be there at one time.

The Mushmom spawns once at 45 minutes. If you cannot find it on one channel, try other channels. If you don't see it, someone else might have killed it and it needs another 45 minutes of time to respawn. | |||

No. Any skill points you gain in the first job (before level 30) MUST be used before the second job. The same is true of second job points (before level 70) on Third job skills, and so on. It is okay to use second job points for the first job, but this is generally not recommended. Beginner skill points can only be assigned to beginner skills. Some skills, such as monster rider or Legendary Spirit, are automatically maxed when the player receives them. | No. Any skill points you gain in the first job (before level 30) MUST be used before the second job.

In the Monster Carnival, you can use the maple coins to exchange for weapons, usually priced at upwards to 300k mesos.

This is a good plan unless you are saving your maple coins, in which you can still get weapons later. | ||
And a great way is to sell things, like weapons that you don't want/need, or faming someone. If you are faming someone, you can fame them from 25,000-100,000. Note: There are scammers who do not give you the money afterward. | |||
You can make money by a few quests. For example, a quest called "Subany's Legacy" (For Lv.36 and in NLC) will reward you with a scroll which you can sell for 8 million ~ 11 million mesos. | |||
After all, the best way to make money is Noob-Trading. Noob-Trading, means to buy something for a low price and to sell it for a high price. Example: I buy a GFA 60% for 3mil. I can sell it for 9mil and my revenue will be 6mil. | |||

100 Solid horns can be exchanged at the [[../Quests/Exchange Quest|Exchange Quest]] for 500 experience.

Zombie's Lost Teeth, Jr. Yeti Skins, and Hector Tails are also popular choices, as they provide better rewards than Solid Horns.

Assassins can do this much easier. For archers, this is answered in the Archer guides [[MapleStory/ | Assassins can do this much easier. For archers, this is answered in the Archer guides [[MapleStory/Bowman#Jump Shot|here]]. Magicians use the same technique, except with their spells. Magicians can also attack and teleport at the same time, and it is the same technique again, except using teleport instead of jump. But since they CANNOT jump and attack at the same time...it is possible to hit the JUMP and *insert special attack here* keys, it will make it look like that your character is "charging up" before he hits the ground. When doing an attack normally, your character is unable to move for a short period of time until the attack animation is complete. With the jump shot, you are able to move while performing the attack. However the arrow/spell acts as if it were shot/cast while on the ground. | ||
It should be noted that different keyboards have different responses to the jump-attack glitch. Some keyboards can do it very easily, while some keyboards require attack and then jump button, some keyboards require the reverse. So try doing it differently if it doesn't work the first time. Also, the internet connection of the user has an affect on the jump shot. | It should be noted that different keyboards have different responses to the jump-attack glitch.

Many new players become disoriented after they teleport to Ariant through Chumji's quest, prior to level 30. If you took the Genie from Orbis, you already know that there is transportation available. You can find the Ariant Genie station's portal from the main zone of Ariant (with Maple Administrator and the town exits); it is located on the left portion of the map. Alternatively, you can teleport straight to Victoria Island by speaking with [[MapleStory/Towns/Ariant#Karcasa|Karcasa]] (two maps right of Ariant) and spending for 10,000 mesos. | Many new players become disoriented after they teleport to Ariant through Chumji's quest, prior to level 30.

=== What is a Banditsin?=== | === What is a Banditsin?=== | ||
A Banditsin (also known as a Sindit) is a bandit that uses Lucky 7 in 1st job, and then turns into a Bandit 2nd job. Lucky 7 is a much better skill than Double Stab, as it is ranged, has innate mastery and does more damage. While this is more expensive than the typical Bandit build, it is much faster if you got the money to burn. But it may cause financial problems after you make the 2nd job advancement. | A Banditsin (also known as a Sindit) is a bandit that uses Lucky 7 in 1st job, and then turns into a Bandit 2nd job.

One problem with Sindits is that because they cannot use Double Stab, they have to waste more MP with Savage Blow or otherwise save MP using regular attack. Also, some Sindits choose to continue using claws regularly after their 2nd job advancement, though often on weaker monsters. Once there are enough points on Savage Blow and Dagger Mastery, sindits will usually make the switch to daggers. 3rd job sindits will usually be identical with regular Chief Bandits. The only difference between a Bandit and a Sindit is that the latter won't have Double Stab. Considering that Savage Blow will be more effective than Double Stab past Level 45, and that the AP build doesn't change, it can be concluded that Sindits are just as powerful as Bandits. | One problem with Sindits is that because they cannot use Double Stab, they have to waste more MP with Savage Blow or otherwise save MP using regular attack.
