1. Higher Level Monsters and EXP

Try to pick more powerful monsters as your farming target. If you need 2 hits to KO monsters, you can always try to KO monster with higher level. When it’s possible, just switch farming to this high level monster. This way you will receive more experience points. It’s simple, but sometimes players don’t noticed that. Higher level monsters – more maple mesos and EXP!

2. High Spawn Rate-Key to EXP

Well, first of all you should check out spawn rate, and secondly train on specific monster. Spawn rate means how fast the monsters appear back into the same place. The faster it appears back – the faster you can earn more EXP. My first experience with spawn rate are connected to World of Warcraft, where I had few farming spots with good experience, gold and high spawn rate – these 3 things are most important when you farm EXP + killing speed.

3. Map with Minimum Distribution

Check out where exactly you can find your farming targets (monsters). If you need to walk to much, try to look other monsters or just change. Idea is to find place where monsters are close to each other, this way you + high monster respawn rate, you will increase you EXP income :-).

4. Map with Safe Platform, while AFK

From my knowledge, many players lose EXP, by death from one reason – AFK (away from keyboard) on a platform, because they did not know a enemy could either spawn there or getting hit by monster spell attack. (range attack). That’s why, you should try finding a map that has a safe platform for you to rest when you need to AFK. Well, while playing in MMORPG, sometimes you need to answer the phone or to have “bio break”, in Maple Story when you die, you lose 10% of experience so it can be really frustrating.

5. Complete Quest for more Maple EXP.

Check as often as you can your quest log as you level up. For each level, there are many various quests with various requirements. Basically there are two types of quest, repeatable and non-repeatable, first one you can complete how many times you like, just visit NPC to take/finish it. Second one is unique, so you can only complete it once. Anyway repeatable quests are good way to earn faster some EXP, not only in Maple Story, but also in other MMORPGs such as Lord of the Rings Online or World of Warcraft, Warhammer Online etc.

6. Try out Party Quest.

There are various party quest at Victoria and Ossyria Island. One of these PQ is Kerning Party Quest, available in Kerning City, Victoria Island. Party Quest is good way to earn very fast some experience points. This way you can earn also much more maple mesos then doing training. PQ also awards players with valuable treasures along with potions or ores which you can then sell it in free market to gain additional maple mesos to payback the mesos spent on this quests. This includes Zakum PQ, Ludibrium PQ, Henesys PQ, and others.

7. 2x EXP options.

If you wish to level up faster, you can always try to play during Holiday Sessions. This way you will receive 2x EXP (double EXP) and 2x DROPS (double chance for a rare item to drop) events. Other way is to buy 2 x Exp card, for the real money, but it’s your call. I prefer to buy these improvements, but only if I’ve got more time for Mapling. So if you know, that you will play more in the future, buy one card.

- You should take quests! It is through these quests that you can also gain experiences, equipment, items and Maple Mesos. Some of the quests are easy for beginners, while others require a significant amount of levels and playing time that come along for the task. Also I don’t know about MMORPG without quests ;-) it’s almost impossible to play in these games ignoring quests. Of course, you can ignore boring quests or these uneconomical ones, but generally QUESTS ARE IMPORTANT PART OF EVERY MMORPG, INCLUDING MAPLE STORY.

- Should you feel that the place you are in is too crowded, you can always switch to a different channel and still remain in the same place.

- You should remember to control picking up an item or killing an enemy for experience points. To do that, you need to take a look at the confirmation status found at the bottom right of the screen. In that way you always take every loot.

- The bowmen, magicians and thieves are capable of very long range attacks, but need to keep up all kind of stuff related to these weapons and attack type. Warriors, rely mostly on close range attacks. But since they have large HP and attacking levels, they have the capability to fight stronger monsters.

- Your character speed and power are vital and significant in fighting monsters. You should evolve your character with idea, in other way, your character will be weak. Building character in MMORPG can be sometimes very complicated thing, but you shouldn’t be frustrated by that. Just think what you need > tanks need a lot of armor and health. Of course all classes need a lot of HP, but tanks need them most because they “tank” enemies…it’s simple. If you are dps you should have very high attack abilities to deal more damage. Of course if you are dps you need to be mobile and skilled to evade attacks and threats…

Remember my friend, if your Hit Points (HP) are low, find a safe place where you can “rest” and restore your health. To do that, you need to be stationary. In this way, you can avoid losing 10 % of your experience points (Exp) should you “die” due to loss of HP. In Maple Story you need to be very careful, in other hand you will lose time and health ;-) (real one)

Well, to easy gain a lot of experience points at the start of Maple Island is by fighting monsters called the Shrooms and the Orange Mushrooms. If you are already on Victoria Island, the Slimes and the Stumps.

You need to improve your accuracy in hitting your enemies, you should raise your DEX if you are a warrior, bowman or a thief. You are a magician? Increase your INT and LUK. Each class has important and less important stats, try to think about that.

Pick up and store a lot of ores which you may find in the game. Ores are very expansive and rare, you need to to improve your in-game equipment.

To acquire armor and weapons, there is a requirement of every 5 levels.

After level-up, you will receive 5 Ability Points (AP). Each AP point can be used to increase all your primary stats like HP, MP, STR, DEX, INT or LUK. However, most of gamers that you use your AP only for your STR, DEX, INT or LUK since your HP and MP increases automatically when you level up your avatar.

Enemies may drop a common item like a snail shell or it may also drop a rare item like an axe. Some monsters even drop 2 different kinds of ores like mineral ore and a jewel. Stay focused and collect all kind of staff from your enemies – you want be rich or not?
