Maple's Story!

I'm enjoying reading this just finished reading the Leafre bit, going to bed now.

Something I recall from doing the f/p arch-mage meteor quest regarding the dark magic book thingy with alcaster and the job people, in the victoria part, The quest involves Shammon or w/e, the guy in the basement of the 3rd job place. Basically its about how Shammon was a wizard learning about dark magic, but then he got corrupted, so the mage job advance people sealed away his power.

This isnt completely accurate, or complete, I'll see if I can find anything on it tommorow, just wanted to post now so I wouldnt forget

If you know anyone who is planning to do the meteo quest soon, you could always ask them, but I'll see what I can find as well.

edit: also a typo if you care, in Part 6, second paragraph, 5th line, Rombard/Rombot (forget name) is spelt Rombad. pretty sure thats not right >:


Alright so, I'll post all the text from the quest that is on MapleTips.com or w/e. I'll make a tl;dr at the end to, and expand a bit more.

First Quest: Robeira's Book

 Spoiler

Before Starting Quest:
Robeira says she has something he wants to tell me...perhaps I should pay him a visit and see what could be so important.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Started Quest:
Robeira said she has a book she really wants to show me and told me to see Wiz the Librarian in the Helios Tower. I wonder why she dropped off the book there? Maybe the information is meant to kept secret...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finished Quest:
Wiz the Librarian agreed to find the book for me. I wonder what the book says, must be important...

Second Quest: A Magician's Story

 Spoiler

Before starting quest:
Talk to Wiz the Librarian, he give you "Story of a Magician"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Started Quest:
Wiz the Librarian said the book Robeira left for me is quite strange, and relates to Magicians somehow. I'm supposed to deliver it to Grendel the Really Old if I'm finished with it. Magician's story? What could it be? Maybe I can ask Grendel the Really Old.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finished Quest:
*take book to Grendel the Really Old*
Upon delivering the book to Grendel the Really Old, I decided to ask about the book. My words met with a empty look and eerie silence. I may have just hit a nerve...

 Spoiler

Before Starting Quest:
Talk to Grendel the Really Old
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Started Quest:
After an uneasy silence, Grendel the Really Old spoke at last. He said that the main character of the book is none other than Shammos, who used to be a human and a genius Magician. Then he asked me to go check out the elder's official residence, Shammos, to see how he's doing these days...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finished Quest:
*Talk to Shammos*
Shammos is still out of it. But I think I heard him say Grendel the Really Old ..

Started Quest:
Shammos seems very resentful. Grendel the Really Old asked me to tell him that he's sorry. But would Shammos even accept his apology? Either way, let's go to Shammos and relay Grendel the Really Old's message.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finished Quest:
*talk to Shammos*
Shammos just kept shouting Robeira and Grendel the Really Old's name. I wonder if he's really crazy...

Eighth Quest: Meteo Shower

 Spoiler

Before Starting Quest:

Shammos might be feeling a little better...I should pay him a visit...
Talk to Shammos
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Started Quest:
As I approached Shammos to check if he's okay, he seemed to be more alert, as if part of his memory returned. He told me to bring him Eye of Fire... Let's go see the guard of the Abandoned Mine, Adobis,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finished Quest:
*bring Shammos an eye of fire*
I learned a new magic spell! This is the magic that Shammos studied...it's powerful magic that I will use to emerge victorious in battle!

I think I missed a few quests involving the stuff with Dark Magic, but basically;

Shammos was a great magician, and a student(or friend, dont remember exactally :/) of Grendel the Really Old, but then he started using powerful Dark Magic. At first Grendel the Really Old couldnt see that his student(or friend) could be becoming corrupted, until he got so powerful he began to lose control. By then he was to powerful for Grendel to defeat, and he wouldnt have been able to finish off one of his students(/friends) anyway. Then, together with Robiera, they sealed his power away, and locked him away (in the bottom of the 3rd job place).


Regarding getting Meteo, Its part of this story, what happens is Shammos passes on some of his dark/powerful magic to you, which is meteo.

whoa
so meteo is one of the dark magics?
niiiicee :o
