Maple Story Beginner

Beginner is the weakest class but the easiest since the required amount of exp
is so low for each level. The only advantage that Beginner has over the other
classes is that you do not lose any exp when you die.

Just after you created your character, you will see the window which explains
how to move. Read carefully. Basically, unless you changed the keys,

Arrow Keys: the direction you want to move
Ctrl: Attack
Alt: Jump
X: Sit down at bench. You cannot sit just anywhere.

These are the basic keys you need. You can change almost all the keys and you
may assign new skills or potions to a key.

Go and do quests. Keep going and you will be out and facing with a snail. Just
smack it and you will get exp. This is the thing you basically have to do. When
you reach 100%, your level will go up by one and you get 5 stats to distribute.
As you are a Beginner and not a Rogue, your attack power will depend only on
Str and a little one Dex. However, you will not want to use your precious stat
points for temporary use. So, ignore Str. You may be advanced to Rogue at level
10 and the requirement is 25 Dex. Wise plan will help you a lot. This is my
recommendation.

2: 5 to Dex
3: 5 to Dex
4: 5, or less just to make your Dex 25, to Dex and the rest into Luk.
5: 5, or less just to make your Dex 25, to Dex and the rest into Luk.
6: 5 to Luk
7: 5 to Luk
8: 5 to Luk
9: 5 to Luk
10: 5 to Luk

Why putting only 25 for Dex? For Rogues, Luk increase attack power more than
Dex. Dex is required only for equipments or advancements. Never put stats in
Dex more than required.

Why putting in Dex first? You require 25 Dex to advance and, as a Beginner,
only Dex increase your attack power. You want to be strong from the beginning,
right?

Do not escape Maple Island until you get 10. If you go out, you will have to
hunt snails again but with more people around you who will KS you and produce
lag a lot.

Do some quests. There are two main quests on Maple Island. Get the Letter to
the Chief and Bigg's Collection of Items are the ones. Do these and keep the
itmes. If you get a Fruit Dagger as a reward and going for a bandit, keep it
and do not sell it.

When you reach 10, go to Kerning City and advance to the next job.
You can use ticket booth guy who will take you to any city at 90% discount for
beginners. (It will cost around 100.) At Kerning City, go into the Cafe and
there, there is a guy called Night Lord who is attached to the ceiling upside
down. Talk to him and you are a rogue now.
