What we're some of your mistakes with MapleStory when you first joined?

I have a Str Mage in Scania.
When I got off maple island, someone wanted my armor (White t-shirt etc) and wanted to trade a Jr. Sentential piece for it. They said the Jr. Sentential piece was a rare item. .____.
I also collected tubes and gave them away.

this.

I thought archers could use shields; I spent ages hunting a pan lid from green mushrooms, and finally found one, just to watch my bow get unequipped when I equipped the pan lid.

OMG xD i lol'd


- i kept asking people how they got a 'second name' below their normal one. (guilds)
- i added str thinking i could change it sometime later.
- i thought you had to fight zakum alone... and meet an arm at a time... kinda like one arm per map and after killing one you could move on.
- i thought monsters could go through portal. And i 'protected' the portal that leads to elinia one map to the bottom of ellinia (in 2005, people actually trained there).
- deathly thought orbis was a 'pro' place.

I became a mage at lv 14 because I didn't have enough int.
I traded a gfa 60% for a sleepywood scroll because I though that using a scroll was the only way to get there.
"Magic guard looks like such a useless skill"

I added LUK to my first warrior thinking he would find more drops.

Who didn't get stuck in Sleepywood or El Nath in their first trip?
.
I also pictured El Nath differently, tought it was some sort of a desert.

i got stuck at el nath and thought i will be stuck there forever :< i was level 30 and climbing up the tower w/o magic guard was a nightmare. my friend bought me rock scroll in the end :>

I got equal stats in everything as a warrior. I thought, at the time, "When I raise my pokemon's level, their stats all go up. It should be the same for me."

I thought Fighters were the master of defense since they had power guard, so I maxed Iron Body.

I forged a Gold Joosting (sic) Helm only to find that it didn't give any additional stats. When people asked me how I got the helm, I told them God gave it to me.

I spent DAYS trying to get emeralds to forge a Green Magician Glove just because of the 1 INT bonus.
.
Anyone remember the level 25 Magician Gloves problem?
It was non-existant in the server for a lot of time.
.
Also, anyone remember Eviscerators? :o

how did you become pro enough to learn to to extract stuff and etc.. ?

Technically it is a desert.

For me it was the standard "balanced" stats issue, and adding too much dex later on.

The only thing I remember doing was balancing my stats.
Hey, archers need to be smart too, so more points into INT!

Sold tons of 10k NX for just a million.

I would always add STR to my mage because whenever I ran out of MP I would take out a sword and start meleeing.

"Dragon Knights can outdamage Hermits."

LMFAO.

Til I played a Hermit.

I thought there was a secret to the Bigger Ben because a friend told me. I spent an hour or two trying to figure out the non-existent puzzle.

That's pretty much it. Maple wasn't my first MMO so I didn't start off being a total idiot, plus I started playing the game because my girlfriend at the time played so she showed me the ropes from the very beginning.

Holy pomegranate yes. Also, that thread title makes my brain bleed.

I made a warrior and put points into luck ._.

My only major mistake I made in Maple was having my AP distributed evenly on my first character, which also ended up being a warrior. I wasn't even able to wear my level appropriate gear until 2-3 levels later lol
Ended up remaking the warrior at 28 and he's what I'm playing even as of today.

-Put points into all stats as a mage
-got stuck in el nath at 2x
-deleted and remade character right

It's a long story. It always is though, isn't it?

I went on a trip down Orbis tower with a friend and got killed by Sentinels. I have a screenshot of it on my other computer.
