Orbis

Orbis main town, near the Free Market.
  • Region: El Nath Mts.
  • Roads: Orbis, Orbis Park, Sky Road, Hidden Street

Orbis is very bright and cheerful, with a mythical appearance. Most of Orbis' residents are fairies, with a friendly relationship to the fairies of Ellinia. It has 2 main sections, the Orbis Tower and the Cloud Park. Also available in Orbis is the guild headquarters, where a player may travel to create a guild. Orbis is kept afloat via Lithium stones shipped in from Magatia, enchanted with the powers of Alchemy. The fairies here are also on good terms with the Zenumists of Magatia. These same stones power the ships that travel to Ellinia and other areas, too. One may access Florina Beach from Orbis for free, if they possess a VIP Ticket, or for a small fee if not. Orbis has became smaller and easier to be accessed while guilds are now easily made from an NPC in most major towns. Players do not need to go to Orbis to make a guild. Floating Island of Chryse takes place in here too.

Orbis Station

Orbis Station acts as the main gateway "airport" of MapleStory, allowing transport to Ellinia, Ludibrium, Leafre, Mu Lung, Edelstein, Ereve and Ariant. Many players pass through Orbis Station every day, making it one of the busiest places in MapleStory other than the free market.

Cloud Park

  • Level Range: 36-60
The fifth map in Orbis Cloud Park.

The Cloud Park is as its name suggests: an area that is sort of like a park, situated on clouds. It extends quite aways, branching off into two areas, one featuring the "kitty" and one featuring the "pixie".

The "kitty" area features maps that contain Jr. Cellions, Lioners, and Grupins, as well as their "senior" forms. The kitties are grouped into Gardens according to color (Garden of Red, Yellow and, oddly, Green). Further then, are Lucidas, large evil kitties. Lucida are the strongest monsters found in Orbis. Lucida also can be found in Zipangu's Mushroom Shrine. At the end of this area, there is now a boss, called Eliza, which is fairly powerful and has the ability to summon Jr. Lucida to aid it. Currently these expansions are not available in all versions.

The "pixie" area features maps that contain Star, Lunar, and Luster Pixies, as well as Nependeaths and Faries. Pixies are often hunted for exchange pieces and a number of quests. Fieries are hard to defeat because they have a mystic magic skill. Nependeath are often hunted for exchange quests.

Orbis Tower

  • Region: El Nath Mts.
  • Roads: Orbis Tower
  • Level Range: 23-36
Orbis Tower Entrance. The portal on the right leads to the Orbis PQ area.

Orbis Tower is a tower with 13 floors (originally 20) that spans the vertical gap between Orbis, El Nath, and Aqua Road. In the Champion's patch, the Black Mage attacked several locations of Maple World, including Ereve and Orbis Tower, which destroyed floors 9-15. This change now forces players to pay 5,000 mesos to get from one side of the gap to the other.

Near the top of the tower is a secret room, where the Orbis Party Quest, for levels 51-70, takes place. At the end of this PQ is the powerful boss named Papa Pixie, who is difficult to beat even for the most powerful party (a team of full level 70 characters). Upon reaching the bottom, players end up in El Nath. Players may use an Orbis Rock Scroll to instantly teleport between the 20th and 1st floors. These Scrolls are obtainable via Huckle's Magic Ingredients quest, in which players gain 5 each time they complete the quest. Huckle is located in a room off the 16th floor, and the quest may only be done once per 24 hours.

The tower features monsters such as Jr. Sentinels, Sentinels, Ice Sentinels, Fire Sentinels for the Orbis type, Leatties, Dark Leatties and Jr. Pepes for the El Nath type and Scuba Pepe for the Aquarium type. At the First Floor, a door leads to subsequent basement floors, eventually plunging underwater to the town of Aquarium, and further out to Korean Folk Town.
