Because I'm usually busy with other stuff in life I don't have time to train or do other stuff in Maple if not during holidays, but today I was bored and I decided to do the Ghost Chimney's "Jump Quest". You can go there from the fireplace in the Foyer, and, from what I know, you can't go there from any other fireplaces, even if the Omni Key which lets you go there says so. If I don't mistake there are some other fireplaces which let you go there, but I can't remember them. I did the jump quest from the bottom anyway.

Probably some of you will say that it's not hard. Well, until now, it is the hardest jump quest in MapleStory to me - and I've done them all. Yesterday I attempted doing that (didn't keep trying for more than 30 minutes or so) but I failed. Today, I decided to do it again and succeeded in less time than I thought (maybe another 30 minutes). But yeah, I acquired the tactic required to do it. After you acquire it, it becomes kinda easy.
What do I get from this? Nothing. I just did it for fun.
On a side note, I find it funny how they made that Chimney so that you can use it to fast-travel to other rooms of the mansion through the portals in there. They made it so hard to get up there that it became almost useless for everyone. You'd get to your desired location faster by walking than by using the Chimney and doing the jump quest until you get to the portal you want. So yeah. Useless.
Also, I did it so that I'm "prepared" for an eventual jump quest like that in the Haunted House II which is going to be released in the next patch. I'm pretty sure that they didn't make all that long chimney.. for nothing. Other than the "traveling" purposes, obviously. But again, the jump quest defeats that purpose, so yeah. :f6:
If I don't mistake, last year's Haunted House "expansion" which some versions like MapleSEA got, included a jump quest like that and a reward for doing it. Hopefully my practicing will be useful in one way or another.
Now, I challenge you to do that.
