MapleStory/Party Quests

Party quests ("PQs") are organized quests in which a party of several people must be created in order to enter. Unlike regular quests, they can be done again and again. Party quests are extremely popular because they give items and thousands of experience points. Party quests come in three basic varieties: The Boss Quests, which doesn't have a maximum level and is done for the sole purpose of defeating the boss at the end; Cooperative Party Quests, where players must work together to get through puzzles and defeat monsters; the remaining variety is the Competitive Party Quest, where groups of players either form teams or compete individually, and rewards are given based on victory or defeat.

Starting a party quest


Because only one party can enter at a time in each channel, parties cannot enter the quests whenever they want to. For example in the Kerning PQ, the party leaders must constantly click on Lakelis, or other party leaders may enter before them once the other party has finished. Because the party leader must constantly click on Lakelis, some leaders use an Auto-Clicking hack, although it is clearly illegal.

Party Quests can be difficult to enter due to their high popularity. Channel 1 is not recommended because it is typically the most populated channel, and thus have the most players fighting for a spot. High population servers, such as Scania, have the most demand for party quests and thus may make it difficult to participate. New servers are usually the easiest to get into PQs.

Make sure you have the required number of members in your party. You cannot do the PQ if there are less than the minimum (Though some PQs allow you to have more), and they must not die or quit party/game in order to complete the quest.

Try not to be bored while waiting. If you are not the leader, you may do something else for 5 minutes, but make sure you know what is going on in the game. Leaders should not leave the computer and closely watch. Try to track the party that has just entered and see which stage they are at by locating them (using /find).

[[Image:MS Amoria Icon.png]] Amoria Premium Wedding
Requirements: Wedding Invitation, attendance at a Premium Wedding
 * The Amoria Premium Wedding's Afterparty, while technically not a Party Quest, operates in many ways like one. It can occur in either the Chapel or Cathedral weddings. This guide will illustrate a Cathedral Wedding in GlobalMS.

Entry
If you are a guest at the wedding, the first stage will be in a waiting room outside the Cathedral. NPCs here will take gifts for the couple. By speaking to a nun, one can enter the main Cathedral. A timer counts down to the next stage.

Cathedral Altar
If you are the one getting married, you will immediately start at the Altar. In order to enter, you must only be in a party with your fiancé. Once the couple is waiting, guests may start to enter and take their seats. After all the guests are seated, the partners-to-be can start the ceremony at their discretion, but it must be before the timer expires. The Priest will begin speaking, and guests are given the option of "blessing" the couple. For each successful bless, the newly-weds will receive EXP. The music in this map is very unique and this area is renowned as one of the most beautiful in the whole game.

Cherished Visage Photos
After the ceremony is completed, both the couple and the guests are warped to a new map. Beyond this point, both Chapel and Cathedral weddings are identical. A one minute timer appears, and the players must arrange themselves on the cake. Typically, the Bride and Groom stand at the top of the cake, and everyone smiles. Once the timer reaches 0, a picture is taken that will be posted on the MapleGlobal website. Next, a 5 minute timer appears, to allow players to take their own pictures. Often the favored guests will take turns posing with the couple. This map, being very small, has a tendency to lag people out, especially when all 50 invites are used.

Untamed Hearts Hunting Ground
Once the photo time is over, all players will be warped to the Untamed Hearts Hunting Ground. Here, each member, Guests and the newly-weds alike, must collect 5 keys from the Cake and Candle Monsters that roam the area. These monsters are worth 0 experience. At this point, the married couple receives the EXP from the blessings and their prizes for getting married. The keys are not too difficult to find, but they each take up an ETC slot, which can pose problems to first time guests. Also, the Cake Monsters can be rather dangerous to lower leveled guests. The map is rather large, but with 52 people hunting on it in a limited amount of time, kill stealing can be a problem. It is recommended that higher levels help their friends and leave once they have enough keys, so that everyone can finish.

The Love Piñata
When each person has acquired 5 keys, they can progress to the next stage on their own. Once Inside, there are numerous boxes that can be broken by hitting them. After they are broken, an item called Onyx Chest appears. These items will disappear, so only break one box. Each player can only pick up one, and there are already not enough for every guest at the wedding. The timer on this map has the same time as the outside hunting grounds map, so whether you have entered or not, all players are ejected at the same time. The Onyx Chests and Amoria Heart Keys expire approximately 20 minutes after the wedding ends. After getting your chest, or, if they have already all been taken, the players can talk to Robin the Huntress to exit the wedding party.

Wedding Exit
This is the exit map. It was added later, after all the other stages. Click Ames the Wise to return to Amoria, and then by talking to Pila Present at the top of the map, the players can get their prize. Prizes range from Miso Ramen Soup to Pineapple Candies, and for the Bride and Groom's special chests, Scrolls. Wedding Invitations will remain in each guest's inventory until they drop it.

[[Image:MS Quest Area Icon.png]] El Nath Party Quest
This party quest unlike the others requires a level 120 warrior as a party leader to start this quest. It is part of the Warrior's selection of 4th job quests to obtain skills.

The 4th job warrior must be attempting to complete his/her Stance Quest.


 * 1) Hunt for "Crimson Balrog's Plan" storybook from a Crimson Balrog, then talk to your 4th job instructor.
 * 2) Now talk to Spiruna found in Cloud Park in Orbis. Give her the "Crimson Balrog's Plan".
 * 3) Find a "Bluish paper" that drops from Lycanthropes.
 * 4) Once you acquire the Blue Paper, talk to your fourth job instructor.
 * 5) Venture to El Nath and talk to your 3rd job instructor. He will give you another quest to find a Gold Medal.
 * 6) Enter the El Nath PQ and complete it successfully to obtain the Gold Medal.
 * 7) Return to your fourth job instructor, and he will trade you a skillbook for Stance for your Gold Medal.

It involves protecting Tylus from monsters to obtain 4th job skillbooks.

The mobs that spawn in this map are Crimson Balrog, Lycanthrope and Werewolf.

Each mob has a chance of dropping the level 10 storybooks for Dragon Pulse, Showdown and Infinity. They drop frequently.

You need to either continually kill all mobs. Preferably with a party composition consisting of at least 2 archmages/bishops with their Blizzard/Meteor/Genesis.

The alternative solution is to lure all mobs to one side of the map (extreme right portal). that way no mobs will be touching Tylus at all. (thus a solo warrior can do this with sufficient potions)

You need to maintain this until the timer reaches around 3 minutes left, then exit by the bottom right portal.

This will complete the quest for the 4th job warrior. He/she will not be able to start another El Nath PQ henceforth.

English School Party Quiz

 * Location: English School Town
 * Requirements:1~6 Characters in a Party.

The English School Party Quiz is a special quest only available on TaiwanMS and ChinaMS. To enter on the Party Quest you just need to create a Party.(This quest is like the Zakum Quest, you can do with a party or solo). You must talk with Dr.Mushrooms, he can be found at Henesys, Perion, Lith Harbor, Orbis, Ludibrium and Leafre. There are 3 stages for this quest. Once you enter the Map, a question will appear on the top of the screen. and you will have 5 minutes to solve the question. You will have to pay 3000 mesos to enter in any level of the Party Quest.

Easy Level


This is the first level of the English School Party Quest, here you can find some monsters, they drop letters. You will need them to answer the question that appears in the top of the screen. Once you know the answer, start getting letters from the monsters inside. Then, talk with the NPC on the map and you will be on the Reward Area.

Normal Level
This stage is like others, but the question asked here is even harder than questions asked on the Easy Level, and there are more monsters here. Once you finish this stage, click on the NPC and you will be on the Reward Area.

Hard Level
This stage has lots of monsters and the question asked is a lot harder than others. You will need to answer the question within 5 minutes or you will be forced to get out from the Party Quest.

Reward Area
Once you finish the Quest, talk to Dr.Mushrooms and you will receive your reward. You will be rewarded with some Experience.

Lovers' PQ/Grandma Tree

 * Location: Korean Folk Town
 * Requirements: a male and female character partied together
 * This Quest is currently only available in ChinaMS and TaiwanMS.



Much like Papulatus, this is a series of quests culminating in a boss fight. It is available to all players, but only if in a party of 2 with a character of the opposite gender. The first step is to talk to Xiao Di, in Korean Folk Town. She's located in between the Well and the Helios entrance. She gives the quest only if in a party of two with a character of the opposite sex. The first task in her series is to collect 50 Pink Teddy Omok pieces. The next Quest needs the pair to gather 50 Sea Horse Horns. The third quest is to get 50 Star Pixie's Starpieces. Lastly, get 20 Fierry tentacles. The reward for all that is a safety charm. She then asks a series of questions about a famous Chinese poem. Provided these are all answered correctly, the pair can move on. For completing this part, each person gets a special Pendant that adds 20 Defense and Magic defense and has 5 slots.
 * Finally, it's the PQ part. The male and female companions have to party to enter the map. Xiao Di will then send them to the Boss room. The boss has a lot of defense, but a very low knockback. It does a fair amount of damage, so archers and assassins may want to consider bringing a Dragon Knight for Hyperbody. The object is to kill the Grandma Tree, and get a ghost spirit it drops. The boss respawns every 10 minutes, and once in the special event map, players can change channels. This quest is also repeatable. At last, the pair get the final prize, 100% Shield ATT scrolls.

Boss Rush
This is a Party Quest, similar to the Mu Lung Training Centre, that is part of the Find Master M event. By speaking with Agent Gaga, you will enter Hidden Street: Exclusive Training Center, a Perion themed map with two cat NPCs (Agent Meow on the left and Agent Kitty on the right) that resemble the cat from the cheese warehouse monster. From there you can choose to solo the PQ (speak with Agent Meow), or organize a party of 3-6 players (level range is the lowest level player in the group + 30; i.e. 32-62).
 * Also known as: "Bosshunter Challenge", "Special Agent Training: Monster Battle".
 * Availability: ChinaMS, GlobalMS, KoreaMS, ThailandMS, MapleSEA, EuropeMS and BrazilMS.

The goal of this PQ is to gather agent points by killing every boss in the game, one by one, starting from the lowest level boss (Mano) to the strongest boss (Pianus). There are no World Tour bosses currently involved in this PQ.
 * Objective

Every time you kill a boss and then exit through the portal on the right you will be rewarded with EXP and a certain amount of agent points based on the position of the boss in the PQs boss order (i.e. Faust gives five points; see below). After every 5 bosses are killed, you will enter a Perion-themed map with Agent Meow and a portal on the right. Taking the portal exits the PQ, and Agent Meow gives the choice to continue to the next set of bosses, or kick everyone out of the PQ.
 * The basics

You win the Boss Points by killing a boss and then using the portal to the right. After gathering 200 points, you can speak with either Agent Meow or Agent Kitty to ask for equipment. You will receive Agent N's Disposable Receiver for the first four times (800 points), and Agent N's Receiver for the fifth reward (1000 points). Both of these are low level hats, however the disposable ones have a 3-day duration; Agent N's Receiver is permanent and has better stats. Agent N's Disposable Receiver gives +2 to all stats and +5 HP (6 upgrades available) and Agent N's Receiver gives +3 to all stats and +10 HP.
 * Agent points and reward(s)

The point of the boss rush is to use your party to effectively farm points. It is not about killing the most powerful boss, because there is no quest reward and the bosses do not drop equipment like they normally would. Using your party, push as far as you can through the boss rush, but when you get to a hard boss that takes over a minute or two, you know you're probably wasting your time. As such, have everyone leave the PQ and re-join immediately for another rush. Some bosses can bottle neck your group (based on accuracy and damage), so if it takes a little bit longer, but you know that your team can take out the next few bosses, it may be more efficient to continue. For example, a group under level 40 may not be able to pass Faust; thus your plan should be to defeat King Slime, use the portal, then speak with Agent Meow to return to the PQ lobby.
