Map of Sleepywood

Victoria Island has a number of areas to explore. There are several towns, named Ellinia, Nautilus Harbor, Henesys, Kerning City, Lith Harbor, Perion, and Sleepywood.

The small island town of Florina Beach, an excavation site near Perion, Mushroom Castle near Henesys, and the event town Happyville are also located on Victoria Island.

Background

Eons ago, Victoria Island and Ossyria were once connected, but over time have become separated. It was once completely ruled by a culture called the Sharenian, who built a lot of the deserted structures on the island, like the Temple of Golems near Henesys and the Sanctuary at the end of Sleepywood's Ant Tunnel. This culture collapsed mysteriously under the rule of Sharen III. The Guild Party Quest is based upon the rule of Sharen III.

File:MS Ereb.png

Map of Ereve.

Ereve is home of the Cygnus Knights, a group of fighters who, with the aid of elemental sprites, combat the forces of the Black Magician. It's a floating island located between Orbis and Ellinia, kept aloft by the powers of the sprites. Ereve can be reached by taking a boat ride from Ellinia. The island is home to the empress of the Maple World, Cygnus, and Shinsoo, the divine beast who chooses and guards the current emperor or empress. The inhabitants of Ereve seem to be bird-like in nature.

Ossyria

• El Nath Mountains: Orbis and El Nath
• Aqua Road: Aquarium
• Ludus Lake: Ludibrium Castle, Omega Sector and Korean Folk Town
• Minar Forest: Leafre
• Mu Lung Garden: Mu Lung and Herb Town
• Nihal Desert: Ariant and Magatia
• Temple of Time: Temple of Time

Currently Ossyria is split into seven regions: El Nath Mts., Aqua Road, Ludus Lake, Minar Forest, Mu Lung Garden, Nihal Desert, and Temple of Time; and has twelve towns: Orbis, El Nath, Aquarium, Ludibrium Castle, Omega Sector, Korean Folk Town, Leafre, Mu Lung, Herb Town, Ariant, Magatia, and Temple of Time.

The ride between Ellinia station and Ossyria.

To reach Ossyria, players must take a flying ship from the magician town of Ellinia. Depending on the current level of the player and the version of the game, the trip can be free or cost anywhere from 3,000 to 80,000 Mesos. The ship departs every 15 minutes in most versions. However, would-be travelers must get into the waiting room of the ship one minute before departure time, shown on the dock. While in transit between Victoria Island and Ossyria, the Crimson Balrog boss may attack the ship. Lower level characters or those who do not wish to fight the Crimson Balrog should enter the cabin or risk being killed.

An alternative method of transit to Ossyria is by using the Leafre-Ellinia portal, available if the player has a Magic Seed. This transport is instantaneous, but the only areas that can be accessed from Leafre are Orbis and Temple of Time. In versions with Nautilus Harbor, a similar teleport system can be used to reach Omega Sector, which provides relatively easy access to Ludibrium and eventually the rest of Ossyria as well.

Recently, the following World Maps of these Ossyria areas have been released:

World Tour Guide

Originally, these continents were not a part of the main game. Each new continent was an expansion to each original versions. JapanMS was the first to expand their version with a continent called Zipangu. These additional continents reflect more on real world locations or real world things, with a few exceptions. At first, these new continents were to be exclusive maps for each version they originated from. Zipangu for JapanMS, China for ChinaMS, Formosa for TaiwanMS, Siam for ThailandMS. As of September 2006, the exclusive maps started to become accessible in other versions of MapleStory via an NPC named Spinel the World Tour Guide.

For MapleSEA, Singapore has been released with three areas: CBD, Boat Quay Town and Ulu City. More recently, Malaysia was released, covering the other major country that makes up SEA's player base. Malaysia and Singapore currently does not have World Tour maps. They are not accessible from Spinel the World Tour Guide, however they are often treated as such because of their basis on a real world location and culture. As of MapleSEA patch V0.69, Singapore and Malaysia Map are the only "World Tour Areas" to have a mini-dungeon.

In ChinaMS, the area Shaolin Monastery, was released with the two towns, Mount Song Town and the Grand Hall of the Great Sage. It is accessible from a separate option from Shanghai Wai-tan from the World Tour NPC.

JapanMS's Neo Tokyo is a town set in the future, themed on machines and robots.

However, KoreaMS removed the World Tour and the bosses from those areas were moved to other regions.

Masteria

• New Leaf City, Haunted House, and Dead Man's Gorge

File:MS Masteria map.png

A regional map of Masteria, featuring New Leaf City, the Prendergast Mansion, and Crimsonwood Mountain.

File:MS Haunted House Map.png

A detailed map of the Prendergast Mansion/Haunted House.

Masteria is believed to be off the coast of Victoria Island, though there are currently no world maps or regional maps to show this. Currently there are two towns located on this continent: New Leaf City and Haunted House. The area of Crimsonwood Keep has been the most recent addition, though it does not (yet) sport a conventional town map. A fourth town, called Krakia, has been mentioned by NPCs in game. Many areas that will be expanded in the future can be seen, particularly Vineland, Affluent Tower, and a Sphinx which resembles a Yeti, appropriately named the Yetinx. Also there has been mention of a new world named Versal, with one NPC planning on opening a portal to that world. Many legends surround the island and its history. Stories range from immortal warriors and mad scientists to threats from outer space. According to new information, the continent, which was originally believed to have sunk into the ocean, was actually warped to another world, Versal. It was returned to the Maple World through a mysterious deal between the Mayor and an unknown person.

Quote from the GlobalMS v0.40 Patch Notes:

Masteria takes its name from the many warriors who came to the continent looking to master their fate and find their destiny. It has mysteriously risen from the sea after a 1000-year absence. This once fabled continent was home to a technologically advanced civilization that used a myriad of techniques for benevolence...before the dark times. There are very few records of the final act which caused the continent to plunge into the sea, and its jewel, Olde Sapp Village to be erased from the Maple World.

Marriage Systems

• Peach Blossom Island and Amoria

File:MS Amoria.png

Amoria's island

Currently, there are two different wedding towns, with different themes and ceremonies. Peach Blossom Island is based on eastern culture. Amoria is based on western culture.

Time Periods

• Altaire Camp

Time Periods are areas which already exist, but as they appeared in the past rather than their ordinary modern appearances. These can be accessed through the Time Control Room in Ludibrium. Currently, there is only one town in the past which is accessible: Altaire Camp. It is the past version of Ellinia's forest on Victoria Island. Maps at the borders of the Ellin Forest around Altaire indicate that there may be past versions of other Victoria Island towns to visit in the future. Technically, these exist on the already present continents.

Event Towns

• Golden Temple (Premium Dungeon), Happyville, Shalom Temple, Coke Town, Beer Tent, Haunted Mansion, and Maple Tree Hill

As one might expect, event towns are areas with limited availability, even in the version that created them. Typically they are associated with a holiday in the real world, though this isn't always the case. They are released for the duration of the holiday's event, and closed afterward. Occasionally, especially popular event towns will be made permanently available. In addition to the common time restrictions, there are also some other restrictions on entering, such as the completion of a specific quest or the purchase of certain Cash Shop equipments using real money. In cases where Cash Shop items are involved, the item is usually relatively cheap and can always be purchased with Maple Points, which can be earned from events, as well.

Golden Temple

Golden Temple is an event premium dungeon that is similar to The Golden Temple in Siam/Thailand but with nerfed monster levels.

Happyville

During the month of December, the Christmas themed town of Happyville becomes available. In 2007 for all versions, the town was renovated, giving it a very different feel.

Shalom Temple

In 2006-2007, Shalom Temple was only available during the Hanukkah season, but in 2008 it was available well into February.

Coke Town

Coke Town is a Coca-cola themed town.

Beer Tent

Beer Tent is only available during the Oktoberfest season.

Haunted Mansion

The Haunted House of Masteria was released as the Haunted Mansion as a special event town to celebrate Halloween. This version was slightly altered, as it included a potion seller and was accessible from other areas of the world. It, like the other event towns, was removed once the events ended.

In KoreaMS, the mansion was heavily altered. It has a few different monsters, and all of them are significantly weakened. The storyline conveyed through the quests is also very different.

Maple Tree Hill

Maple Tree Hill is an event map accessible from many towns through an NPC named Gaga. It contains a small maple tree which players can help to grow.

The Maple Tree Hill is famous for its dropping of Golden Leafs. These leafs can be used to trade for "Under the Maple Tree..." chair from NPC named Gaga. The Golden leafs can only be obtained after the Maple Tree fully blooms, it will grow when players donate the Sunshine to NPC named Gaga.

It is only available near the anniversary. Recently in KoreaMS, NPC Aramia was used as the primary NPC in Maple Tree Hill instead of Gaga. (Aramia is responsible for the fireworks event in MapleSEA and JapanMS ; Gaga was used for another objective)

House of Dong Dong Chiang

House of Dong Dong Chiang is an exclusive event map. It is accessible through an NPC named Yuan Bao Fo which is located in most towns. One stick cracker is required to enter. A portal will lead to the House of Dong Dong Chiang where Dong Dong Chiang will spawn every 10 minutes.

PC Room - Premium Road

Premium Road can only be accessed from a cyber cafe that has established a contract with the local programming staff of MapleStory. The cyber cafe grants bonuses such as EXP boosts by 1.5x (1.25x in MapleSEA, ThailandMS), but only offers a limited amount of maps. Players at participating internet cafes can access Premium Road by talking to an NPC in Kerning City or to NPC Matilda in the Korean version.

Free Market

Perion Free Market Entrance

The Free Market is a place set aside for people who wish to sell their items by setting up a shop. They can either use the regular 'Buying item' method, or they can set up their own miniature shop where a maximum of 3 people are allowed in at once. In order do the latter, players will have to purchase a special permit available only through the Cash Shop. Additionally, NPC merchants can be hired to sell these items so that the player may continue to use their character while the shop is open. The merchants come in a variety of appearances, ranging from elves and teddy bears to Robots, Maids, and Granny. In some versions, certain merchants have differing features, such as the ability to notify the player of a sale.

Even while on another island, such as Ossyria, one may still make contact with people in Victoria Island through the Free Market. One can communicate and trade with someone entering the Free Market from any town. However, one cannot use the free market to travel between towns.

In MapleSEA, the Free Market includes a event map; Image Puzzle Quiz. The entrance to the Event Map is located at the far right side of Free Market.

Transportations

Transportation is important in the world of Maple Story to travel across continents and subcontinents.

Cab/Taxi

The main transportation in Victoria Island to travel between towns besides Sleepywood. There is also a VIP taxi in Lith Harbor and Ellinia that can take players to the Ant Tunnel Park. The trip is instantaneous. In GlobalMS, the NLC Taxi exists on Masteria, and takes players from New Leaf City to Haunted House and back. The trip is both free and instantaneous. In some versions, the "Danger Zone Bullet Taxi" is available. It is used to move quickly between town maps and dungeon areas. It is located in El Nath, Ludibrium, and Leafre. The fee varies; in El Nath, it is 45,000 mesos to move to Icy Valley II. In Ludibrium, it is 25,000 mesos to move to Path of Time.
