Your First Steps: Learning the Ropes
The tutorial in MapleStory Universe gently introduces you to the game’s mechanics and world.
The Girl With the Maple Leaf
Your very first quest involves accepting a task from an NPC and finding a maple leaf. This simple quest is brilliant for new players as it teaches you fundamental character controls like moving downwards and climbing ladders. Once you click on the maple leaf, the quest completes. Just head through the portal on the right to move to the next map!
Sugar's Request
Upon accepting this quest from an NPC, you’ll be tasked with collecting 5 Green Snail Shells. Hunt Green Snails, and once they drop their shells, pick them up to complete the quest. It’s a great way to get a feel for combat!
Sugar's Suggestion
With your newly acquired Green Snail Shells, your next step is to deliver 10 of them to NPC Mai. You’ll find Mai by taking the portal on the right, leading you to the next area.
Choosing Your Destiny: The Path Ahead
After getting comfortable with basic movements and combat, it’s time to consider your future!
Split Road of Destiny
While not a quest itself, this area is pivotal. Here, you’ll encounter various Job Instructors. They’ll tell you about the different professions available in MapleStory Universe. If you’re curious to learn more about each job, you can always check out the official MapleStory Universe YouTube channel for detailed insights!
Vasily NPC
Click on Vasily, and you’ll embark on a short boat ride. During this journey, you’ll have conversations with various NPCs, who will further discuss the different job options. This is your chance to consider which profession best suits your playstyle!
Your First Job Advancement!
The moment of truth arrives! It’s time to choose your destiny and become a true adventurer.
The Adventure Begins
You’ll once again see a job selection window. Select your desired profession, and you’ll be introduced to an Instructor specific to that job. This is where you’ll officially advance!
Path of the Warrior (and Others!)
For example, if you chose Warrior, the Instructor will ask if you want to become a Warrior. Press “Accept” to make the advancement! However, if you have a change of heart or decide Warrior isn’t for you, you can simply decline and return to choose another job.
Path of the Warrior (Complete)
Congratulations! After advancing, your Instructor will provide you with a Beginner weapon and some potions. These essential items will help you survive and enjoy your journey through the MapleStory world.
At this point, your character will have reached Level 10! This means you need to allocate points to your character’s stats and skills. For stats, you can simply click the Auto-ASSIGN button for an automatic distribution. For skills, you can explore the skill trees for each character at msu3.com/job.
Don’t forget to equip your Beginner weapon! Simply double-click it in your inventory with your left mouse button.
You’re now officially a Level 10 adventurer, equipped and ready to delve deeper into the vast world of MapleStory Universe! What job did you choose for your first character?
