Walkthrough

The story of MapleStory Thief Edition from a new character to the ending, in three chapters and their parts. Each part names its goal, the way there, the quests, the level to aim for, the shops on the way and the boss.

The story follows a new thief, a pupil of MacArthur, across Victoria Island, Ossyria, and Magatia. It has a tutorial and three chapters. A chapter ends when a script calls clearAll: the quest states reset and the next chapter starts in a new town. The story ends after the last boss of chapter 3; the endings page has every chapter end and the ending.

How to use the walkthrough

Each chapter page is split into parts by town or story beat. A part lists, in order:

• Goal: what the part is about, in a few sentences.
• Route: every map the story sends you to, with the maps between them. The way is the shortest one over the maps' portals and the NPCs who carry the hero between continents.
• Quests: the main story's quests as numbered steps, then the optional quests that open in the part. Each quest's own page has the full steps and its dialogue.
• Level and gear: the level to aim for, any level a quest asks for, and the shops on the way with the best claw and dagger they sell.
• Boss: the boss's numbers and how to prepare.
• What carries over: items a later quest asks for, and the point of no return at a chapter end.

The level to aim for is an estimate made from the game's tables, not a number the game gives. Its low end is what a hero who does only the main story reaches; its high end is where the hero's base accuracy matches the strongest monster of the part, so that no hit is evaded. The side quests and any extra hunting add EXP that the low end leaves out.

Before you start

• The game saves only from the menu (the Bag button, last tab), and it refuses on the tutorial and boss maps (saving). Save before every boss.
• Some side quests are part of the main story's path: a chapter end needs them, a main quest needs them, a portal on the way opens only for them, or they are the only source of an item a main quest asks for. The steps say so where they come up.
• The checklist lists everything that can be missed, with the last point it can be done.
• The beginner's guide covers the controls and the first hour in more detail.
