New page

{{#metadesc:New to MapleVerse? Your first steps from Maple Island to your first job: controls, starter quests, the boat to Victoria Island, choosing a class, where to train and how to earn Vesos.}}
{{Glance|title=Your first day
|Start|Maple Island, as a Beginner
|Leave the island|[[NPC:Shanks|Shanks]] in [[Map:Southperry|Southperry]], level 7 and 150 Vesos
|First job|Level 10 (Magicians: level 8)
|Second job|Level 30

}}
The '''New Player Guide''' walks you through your first levels in MapleVerse, from your first steps on Maple Island to your first job on Victoria Island. Each step links to the page with the full details.

== 1. Learn the keys ==
{| class="wikitable"
! scope="col" | Key
! scope="col" | What it does
|-
| <kbd>←</kbd> <kbd>→</kbd> || Walk
|-
| <kbd>Alt</kbd> || Jump
|-
| <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> || Attack
|-
| <kbd>Z</kbd> || Pick up items
|-
| <kbd>↑</kbd> || Enter a portal, climb a rope or ladder
|-
| <kbd>Space</kbd> or click || Talk to an NPC
|-
| <kbd>I</kbd> / <kbd>E</kbd> / <kbd>S</kbd> / <kbd>K</kbd> || Items, equipment, stats, skills
|-
| <kbd>Q</kbd> / <kbd>W</kbd> || Quest log, world map
|}
Every key can be changed in the Keyboard Settings window (<kbd>\</kbd>). See [[Controls]] for the full list, and [[Playing on Mobile and Display Settings]] if you play on a phone.

== 2. Maple Island ==
You start on Maple Island as a [[Beginner]]. The people there hand out short starter quests: carrying letters, hunting a few snails and mushrooms. They pay a little EXP and your first hats. See [[Maple Island Quest Guide]] and [[Mai's Training Quest Guide]].
* Up to level 10 the game places your ability points for you, so you do not have to think about stats yet.
* Beginners lose no EXP when they fall, so this is a safe place to learn.
* Hunt the snails and mushrooms near you. The [[Training Guide]] lists the best maps for every level.

== 3. Off to Victoria Island ==
When you are ready, go to [[Map:Southperry|Southperry]] and talk to [[NPC:Shanks|Shanks]]. From level 7 he sails you to [[Map:Lith Harbor|Lith Harbor]] on Victoria Island for 150 Vesos. If you carry [[Item:Lucas's Recommendation Letter|Lucas's Recommendation Letter]] he takes it instead of the fare and the level requirement.

{{Warning|The boat goes one way only. You cannot come back to Maple Island, so finish the island quests you want first.}}

== 4. Choose your first job ==
At level 10 (Magicians at level 8), visit the master of the class you want:
{| class="wikitable"
! scope="col" | Class
! scope="col" | Master
! scope="col" | Where
! scope="col" | Main stat
|-
| [[Warrior Path|Warrior]] || [[NPC:Dances with Balrog|Dances with Balrog]] || [[Map:Perion|Perion]] || STR
|-
| [[Magician Path|Magician]] || [[NPC:Grendel the Really Old|Grendel the Really Old]] || [[Map:Ellinia|Ellinia]] || INT
|-
| [[Bowman Path|Bowman]] || [[NPC:Athena Pierce|Athena Pierce]] || [[Map:Henesys|Henesys]] || DEX
|-
| [[Thief Path|Thief]] || [[NPC:Dark Lord|Dark Lord]] || [[Map:Kerning City|Kerning City]] || LUK
|-
| [[Pirate Path|Pirate]] || [[NPC:Kyrin|Kyrin]] || [[Map:Nautilus Harbor|Nautilus Harbor]] || DEX or STR
|}
Other doors open elsewhere: the [[Cygnus Knights]] in Ereve, the [[Aran]] in Rien, the [[Super Beginner]] at level 30 and the [[Tamer]]. [[Choosing a Class]] compares HP, MP and main stats; [[Job Advancement]] covers every later job.

== 5. Grow stronger ==
* '''Ability points (AP):''' you get 5 every level. Put them into your class's main stat and the stat it needs for accuracy. See [[Stat Builds]].
* '''Skill points (SP):''' you get 3 every level after your first job. Spend them in the Skill window (<kbd>K</kbd>). See [[Skill Points]] and your class page.
* '''Equipment:''' check what your class can wear at your level on [[Equipment by Class]]. Most towns have weapon and armour shops; see [[Towns]].
* '''Potions:''' [[Potions and Food]] shows the cheapest HP and MP per Veso.
* '''Where to hunt:''' the [[Training Guide]] lists the best open maps for every 10 levels.

== 6. Money and daily rewards ==
* Watch a [[Maple TV Broadcasts|Maple TV]] broadcast for Vesos, up to ten a day.
* From level 10, claim the [[Daily Check-In]] every day.
* Sell the drops you do not need to any shop, and keep the ones quests ask for. [[Making Vesos]] explains where money comes from at each level.
* Your [[Storage]] keeps items for every character on your account.

== 7. Play with others ==
* Team up with a [[Party]] to share EXP, then try the [[Party Quests]]. The first one, the [[Henesys Party Quest]], opens at level 10.
* Add friends to your [[Buddy List]] and join a [[Guilds|guild]].
* Trade in the [[Free Market]], or with the [[Trading|trade window]].

== If something goes wrong ==
* '''You fell in battle:''' press OK to come back in a nearby town. See [[Death and Revival]].
* '''Stuck on a quest:''' see [[Quest Help]] and [[Quest Log and Quest Helper]].
* '''Other questions:''' see the [[FAQ]].
