'''Mercedes''' is the third Legendary Hero (as a bowman-like class) revealed that was released on July 21st 2011 in KoreaMS, and is the 2nd of 3 new jobs in the [[MapleStory/Major updates#Legend|Legend update]]. It wields dual bowguns as their main weapon, and unlike other bowman classes, it uses magic arrows as a secondary weapon, eliminating the need for arrows.

Mercedes starts out in the "past", much like Aran and Demonslayers. As king of the elves, Mercedes, along with the other heroes, sealed the Black Mage, however the Black Mage has already cast a spell over the Maple World which causes snowfall in all areas. Thus, the elves in Elluel begin to freeze one by one in ice, to survive through the spell. After sealing the Elluel entrance (thus preventing Athena Pierce, an elf, to get back to Elluel), the elves go to a dormant status, and hundreds of years pass.

Mercedes is the first to wake in the modern maple world, however having the level drop from 200 to 10. Dismayed with the drop of level, Mercedes nevertheless explores the outskirts of Elluel, only to see that the slimes has become significantly weaker than before. Wondering what has changed, Mercedes began to explore the modern world, and see how things have changed, and also meeting Athena Pierce, learning that while hundreds of years has passed, and the spell has disappeared, the Black Mage was on the verge of awakening again. As time passes and Mercedes gets stronger, the other elves begin to wake as well.

*'''Lv 70 ~ 80:''' If there is the 1+1 EXP Event, one may want to use the potion to get to Level 81. Otherwise, continue training at Twisted Jesters; it is a valuable source of experience. With the new plethora of party quests (Romeo and Juliet, Nett's Pyramid, Herb Town Pirates, Ghost Ship, et cetera), one may want to use the partyquests, however because you are a newcomer to these partyquests, it may be of difficulty to one right now. Sand Rats and Scorpions (Ariant) are also a good choice, and is a popular training spot in KoreaMS. Magatia is also viable but only for later levels (Level 75 and over).

*'''Lv 80 ~ 90:''' At this point one may want to move to Mysterious Path 3 (Singapore) and train there. The only problem is that the monsters will deal a lot of damage, and thus will cause an easy, quick death. For this reason, it is recommended that for the early 80's, you avoid getting hit (there are many elevated spots in the map that monsters cannot reach but you can attack them, for example the truck or the trash can), while on the later 80's, one may want to go Rising Rush on them. Alternatively, train on Magatia (Mutaes, Roids, et cetera.) Again, because of Mercedes' High DPS, KS is not a problem.

*'''Lv 90 ~ 100:''' One may want to continue with Mysterious Path 3, however Level 90 is sufficient to attempt some partyquests. Similar to 2nd Job Advancement, they will give a tremendous amount of experience, so one may want to try it out. However, it will be more difficult, both the puzzles and the fights. Alternatively, stay in Magatia and train on Homunculus.
*'''Lv 90 ~ 100:''' By now, head to Galloperas (Malaysia), which is very similar to MP3 in terms of exp rate. Level 90 is also sufficient to attempt some partyquests. Although unlike Second Job Advancement, they will not provide much experience, and one is better off grinding to gain the bulk of the experience in partyquests. Alternatively, stay in Magatia and train on Homunculus, or stay in MP3 if there is no Malaysia in your version of Maplestory (e.g. KoreaMS)
*'''Lv 100 ~ 110:''' Starting from here, it gets increasingly difficult to level up. Starting from Level 100 you can do the Neo City quests. Note however that although Neo City is a themed dungeon, the chain of quest's level requirements vary for each, and thus the chain may seem as if it has stopped. Otherwise, try training at Herb Town's Pirates and Captains, or perhaps Leafre's Centaurs. Or one may simply stay in MP3 (Mysterious Path 3), however it may get boring after grinding for 20 levels there. As always, Party Quests are an option. One may also want to try the Level 70-120 Monster Park, especially <Sky Forest Training Center> at this level.

*'''Lv 110 ~ 120:''' Soldier on with the grinding.. continue with the Neo City quests. Monster Park is recommended as it gives 20% per run on <Forbidden Time>. Also, at this level, one may want to go to Lionheart Castle / Lionking Castle. With a party of 6 people, training there is difficult but very rewarding. Alternatively, Master Death Tennies are a decent source of experience, and furthermore drops the Angelic Bless Recipe, and one may want to go there at around Level 115.
