Each level from 1-5, you will obtain 2 SP. If you are above level 6 before these skills were implemented, you would be reimbursed 10 skill points to add into the new skills. Also all previous beginner skills (with the obvious exceptions being monster rider, maker, dojo skills, etc) will be removed. The skill book isn't finished yet, so expect more to come! Please comment with constructive criticism.

how did you make the animations? they look very professional

He probably did it with Bannedstory

Saved a sprite sheet with BannedStory. Got a cracked Easy GIF Animator, picked out the sprites that looked the best put together and made an animation out of them.

few changes:

to make it one skill called "Ultimate Punch" and 1st level hits once third level hits twice and sixth level hits three times
max level of ultimate Punch is 10
and my point is
that you dont use SP on it from leveling
you get SP for the skill eveyrtime you complete required quests,like maker skill quest
so every beginner skills would be based on quests!(like in the dragon rider pq u get a skill for flying)
that would be great to see these skills coming up,although it is not much useful but rofl its good for totaly hacked maplers haha

1 didnt know bannedstroy could make them

2 which one?

3 i thought bannedstory only had existing sprites, are they all existing in various skills?

At first I thought this was an extraction thread. XD

No idea what you're talking about, but I'll try and answer.

1. Yes, I'm using BannedStory 4 but I'm pretty sure they did it on 3 too. Just click File > Save Sprite Sheet > Normal Sprite Sheet > [Name].zip.

2. It's called Easy GIF Animator, if that's what you're asking about.

3. ? At the bottom where the character info is, you change the frame there? :f6:

Haha, thank you.

I was trying to make them not over-powered, they're intended only to be used until you get your main 1st job attack skill, which will outpower it massively. And I'd rather have it so you can use all the skills if you want, I forgot to add the cooldown to the Triple Punch.

Yeah I like that idea, but I don't know the names of Maple Island quests to put what SP you get it from, if you know what I mean. Thanks for the criticism/ideas.

each quest haha lol although it will make it too easier to achieve...

These skills look like they would be of no-use (no offence, really) but when you think about it, you could use these to hunt when you just got hacked, and it would make islanders life less repetitive

I fail to see how amazing these animations are, takes like 5-10 minutes.
Nonetheless, this is pretty cool, wish it was real.

Eh, I dunno. Double/Triple Punch seem just a tad overpowered, unless you're only capable of leveling them up at, say, Level 12+?(Here we go again, learn2read. ) And as for Three Snails, I believe the Moss Shell's Level Limit should be at least 40, since a level 35 would probably have a hard time killing the snails at that level.

Overall, this seems alike a pretty decent addition to beginners, haha.

ITT: Wannabe brawlers.

They were only really intended for beginners/islanders, hacked people actually didn't occur to me.

Who actually said they were amazing?

The moss shell damage isn't really that good if you work it all out. It would one-hit a horny mushroom at level 35: it's hardly a big deal.

Hardly. Brawler's are the best thing that happened to Maple IMO.

Guitar Solo Master Level: 1
Description : The longer you use this skill consecutively, the more your accuracy and magic will be boosted. If you get hit, timer goes back to 0. Effects last for 5 minutes.
Level 1 : 10s = 2 accuracy, 2 magic. Cooldown : 1 hour. Max time you can hold it down for : 5 minutes. (300 seconds)
e.g. If you've been holding down the guitar solo key for 60 seconds, you will have 12 accuracy and 12 more magic.
Skill would be obtained from a hard quest.

make it a party skill so this is broken too! Xd

lol just because its a guitar it should be applied to a nx wh0re-pq wise maplers
these skills wouldbe cool and useful if nexon would make pqs with required skills like CWKPQ
like, stage xx of pq xx in the city of xx requires you to use the wings from dragon pq to pass this stage
and stage xxxx requires us to kill mobs with the ounch skills only,if we used other skills we will miss

there are some, like LPQ, you need dark sight and tele...

but seriously, THERE ARE NO GOOD PQ'S THAT NEED PIRATES! it would be super easy to make a float only thingie...

anyways, on topic:

guitiar is A useless to a beginner (which beginner skills are meant for) and B OP if the mapler advances to mage

no no i mean,skills like the wings skill you get from quests that every job can get
and these skills can be used everywhere but if you dont have them for pq x you fail to complete the stage

Wings is a gunslinger only skill.
