Not much to say about this class; they're basically there as an intro class. They're the one class that you don't lose experience with when you die; it's strongly advised that you make a job advancement at the appropriate level. (8 for magicians, 10 for everyone else). Though, there are a few who choose to completely ignore the job advancement, and play for their entire Maple career as a Beginner, usually for the challenge involved.
Common Courtesy
As with all games, there are things to do, and things you shouldn't do.
- Territory -- While not everyone has a grasp of territory, a good number of MapleStory players grow attached to the area they were training on for the past hour. If you would like to train somewhere, but it has already been taken, then change channels. With 20 channels there are plenty of places for you to go. If you invade inside someone's territory, then it is easily considered Kill Stealing and will cause trouble. While I cannot say that this is as much of a wrong thing to do as, say, invading a country in real life, it tends to irritate people a lot, so try not to do that. Unfortunately, in maps such as Pig Beach, the territory is very hard to grasp, and a lot of KS'ing occurs as a result.
The etiquette of territory is hard to define, as everyone has different views on how big their territory is. For some maps, a territory can extend to less than 1/8 of the map, while the territory of some maps such as the end of B3, and Zombie Regions, extend across the entire map. However, as you train in that particular map more, you will begin to grasp this common, unwritten knowledge.
- Kill Stealing -- Many people do this, especially at earlier levels. In essence, this is when a person either invades someone else's territory, or even worse, a stronger, faster player follows around a weak player just to irritate that person. Kill Stealing is considered to be rude behavior and generally results in defaming. The Kill Stealing etiquette rule does not apply to boss monsters. Don't take it personally when you wait 45 minutes for Mushmom to spawn, and you are KS'ed. That is just what happens at Mushmom. The same thing happens with Jr. Balrog.
- Defaming -- Defames are generally frowned upon, as they can easily lead to defame wars where a gang defames another gang repeatedly. Defaming is a good idea if someone is truly being a disrespectful person, by kill stealing, or otherwise.
Common Beginner Errors
- Scrolls are worth a lot of money at market value, at least 20k for the worst 10% scrolls... (except HP or MP scrolls, they are worth less than 1 meso) and going up to (at least) 3.5 million for the rare 60% glove attack scroll, depending on server.
- Ores are really worth 1k a piece, Dont sell them at the store when real people (that need them) will pay 1k for each one. Also, If it's Diamond or Gold ore, sell it a few K's higher, People can sell Gold for 10k and Diamond for 5k each. However, this price can vary by server, so be aware.
