Deadline Announcement (Apr 14, 2008): - UPDATED
I've been receiving some PM's asking about the purpose of these deadlines. The purpose is to confirm as many of the skillbook and mastery guide locations as possible while still revealing relevant information for the present. Here's how this works:

Bold and colored submissions (confirmed by screenshot) will never be removed.

There are four exceptions:
(1) Storybook locations will never be removed
(2) Horntail drops [unless found by another mob] will not be removed.
(3) Should the monsterbook data be released to GMS, any information found in the that data will replace the findings shown here.

Another note dealing with submissions: When you make a submission, please be overly specific about which book you received and where you got it from. For example, "I got Monster Magnet 20 and Advanced Combo from Pianus" would be a very poor submission. Is the Advanced Combo the skillbook, or is it the level 20 or level 30 mastery guide? Which side of Pianus? I had to reject a few submissions today because they were too vague.

Skillbook FAQ

 Spoiler

1. What is a skillbook? How does it work with fourth jobs?
Unlike previous job advances, you are not able to allocate SP to every single skill. Instead, you have two different types of skills: core skills and non-core skills. Initially, you can only allocate up to 10 points in your core skills and up to 0 points in your non-core skills. In order to allocate points into your non-core skills, you will need to obtain a skillbook. A skillbook is a usable item which allows you to allocate up to 10 points into a non-core skill. You do not need a skillbook for your core skills because you can already allocate the first 10 points to those skills initially.

2. So what are the core skills for my class?
Hero: Monster Magnet, Achilles, Brandish
Paladin: Monster Magnet, Achilles, Blast
Dark Knight: Monster Magnet, Achilles, Beholder

F/P Archmage: Big Bang, Mana Reflection, Paralyze
I/L Archmage: Big Bang, Mana Reflection, Chain Lightning
Bishop: Big Bang, Mana Reflection, Holy Shield

Night Lord: Shadow Shifter, Venomous Star, Shadow Claw
Shadower: Shadow Shifter, Venomous Stab, Boomerang Step

Bowmaster: Sharp Eyes, Bow Expert, Hamstring Shot
Marksman: Sharp Eyes, Marksman Boost, Blind

Viper: Dragon Strike, Blood Fist, Wind Booster
Captain: Elemental Amplification, Advanced Homing, Support Octopus, Rapid Fire

Also, all classes technically get "Maple Hero" as well. You are granted the skillbook for this skill when you complete the fourth job quest.

All of your core skills are highlighted in blue in these skill tables.

3. Okay, so how do I get skillbooks for my non-core skills?
Most skillbooks can be obtained through fetch quests. Many of these quests will have you running between all of your different job instructors, and a few of them will have you doing jump quests or PQs. Also, you can find some skillbooks dropping from boss monsters, such as Triple Throw (Zakum) or Angel Ray (Zakum). Finally, some quests require that you hunt for a storybook before you even attempt to begin the skillbook quest. So, it really varies.

4. What is a storybook? How is it different from a skillbook?
A storybook is an item that you can find from non-boss monsters, such as Lucidas or Grim Phantom Watches. Storybooks allow you to begin the quest to obtain the skillbook. A skillbook allows you the ability to allocate SP to the first 10 levels of a non-core skill. Even though these two words may look alike, they are not the same thing!

5. Why bother wasting time with the fetch quests? I'll just buy the skillbooks.
Sorry, but the skillbooks cannot be traded, bought, sold, or put into storage. Storybooks and mastery guides can be bought, traded, and sold, though.


6. Woah, hold on. Skillbooks can't be traded? What if someone picks up my skillbook during a Zakum run that can't even use the book?
Tough luck.


7. You were talking about mastery guides, what are those?
In order to allocate more than 10 points into a skill (whether core or non-core), you have to find level 20 and level 30 mastery guides. To use the level 20 guide, you must have at least 5 points in the skill before you use it. To use the level 30 guide, you must have the at least 15 points in the skill before you use it.

Unfortunately, Maple Story likes to make things even more difficult. Level 20 mastery guides have only a 70% chance of success, and level 30 mastery guides have only a 50% chance of success. Sucks, huh? At least the skillbook has a 100% chance of working.

8. Oh no! What if a mastery guide fails when I use it?!
Relax, your skills don't have "slots" like normal weapons. You can use mastery guides on your skills as much as you like.

Just to recap all of the terminology used here:
Core Skill - A skill that already has an initial maximum SP level of 10. No skillbooks are required to unlock these. You will be able to allocate points to these skills immediately after you advance to the fourth job.
Mastery Guide - A special, usable item that lets you increase the maximum SP level of a skill to 20 or 30, with a 70% and 50% success rate, respectively.
Non-core skill - A skillbook is necessary to unlock these skills.
Skillbook - An item which works like a scroll. This will allow you to allocate the first 10 points to a skill. These cannot be traded or put into storage.
Storybook - Special drop from non-boss monsters that allows you to begin the quest for a skillbook

 Spoiler

Advancing to Fourth Job
Pre-Requisites: Level 120, third job

1. Talk to your 3rd job instructor in El Nath to begin the quest.
   
2. Keep talking to your instructor until you receive a quest to obtain two special items for the fourth job instructor to advance.
   
   1. If you like to hunt, go kill a Manon and Griffin to get the Heroic Star and the Heroic Pendant. After hunting down these monsters and obtaining the two items, skip to step 6.
      
   2. Otherwise, if you have 10 million mesos, continue with step 3
      
   
   
3. Now head to Leafre and talk to the Village Chief. He will ask you for a very special scroll
   
4. Head over to Eos Tower 44th floor to buy the scroll from the npc for 10m
   
5. After you are done go back to the Village Chief from Leafre. He will give you the a Heroic Star and Pendant.
   
6. Now go to your 4th job instructor
   
7. Give the 2 items to the instructor to complete the quest. The instructor will advance you to fourth job, grant you the skillbook for Maple Hero, and give you 3 SP and 5 AP.
   

Mount - Hog
Pre-requisites: Level 70, third job

1. Go to Aqua Road and talk to Kenta. She wants you to collect 5 books and 5 crystals.
   
2. Talk to her again to enter a special arena.
   
3. In this arena will be a hog that you have to protect. During this protection quest, the hog will randomly drop the 5 crystals. The other 5 books you must collect by destroying treasure chests (a la Zakum PQ) throughout the map. If the 5 minute timer runs out before you have all of the items or if the hog dies, you will be sent out of the arena to do the quest again.
   
4. After successfully completing step 3, talk to Kenta again. She will give you the Mount skill, 32k experience, and a saddle.
   
5. Talk to Kenta again, and she'll give you another quest to obtain a special purple potion.
   
6. Go to the Village Chief in Leafre and purchase the potion from him for 20 million mesos.
   
7. Return to Kenta and she will give you the quest to obtain your hog.
   
8. Go to a special map near Korean Folk Town.
   
9. The hog spawns just like a boss monster (e.g. Jr. Balrog or Mushmom). Once you see the hog spawn, double-click on the purple potion you bought to catch it.
   
10. A couple of notes about the hog...
    
    1. The hog has 150% speed and 120% jump
       
    2. It has an energy level of 100 and a fatigue level of 5. Every 10-15 seconds, your energy level is drained by the fatigue level.
       
    3. You have to buy a special potion from the pet food sellers for 1k each to regenerate your pig's energy level.
       
    4. Your pig has experience points and can level up just as normal pets do. It is unknown whether leveling up your pig will give any added bonuses, but you do need a level 3 hog to advance it to a Mane at level 120.
       
    
    

Mount - Silver Mane

2. Go back to Kenta once you have collected the items. For a special fee of 50 million mesos, she will reward you with the Silver Mane.

   1. Pig --> Boar
      
   2. Fatigue level 5 --> Fatigue level 3
      
   3. 150% speed --> 170% speed

You need to be in a party to enter the map, so just make yourself the party leader and enter. You need one Pianus statue to enter the arena for every time that you enter.
