Quest:
I have reached Level 18, which means Tru will give me my second gig as an informant. I better head over to Lith Harbor right now and meet Tru.

Tru:
Oh, good thing you’re here. I have a good gig waiting fo you. This time, it took place at the forest of the fairies in Ellinia, and… it’s a bit similar to the last one. It has to do with the violent Green Mushrooms.

The one that watches over the forest, Rowen the Fairy, should know a thing or two why Green Mushroom has suddenly turn violent. Do you know anything about those fairies? Were there any fairies during your heyday? There’s a treasure trove of interesting information that could have been dug from you, if you only didn’t lose all your memory…

In any case, I want you to head over to Ellinia and meet Rowen the Fairy, then ask for information on Green Mushroom. This s your second gig as an informant.

(QUEST ACCEPTED) Ellinia is located a bit more east of Henesys. Eh? Are you looking for a cab coupon again? Not this time! If I keep giving you one, then I’ll be broke In no time! Do what you have to do to get there, but no more cab coupons!

Summary
The second one involves the suddenly-violent Green Mushroom. Seems quite similar to that of the first one. I better head over to Ellinia and meet with Rowen me Fairy to discuss the cause of Green Mushrooms distress.

Procedure
1. Talk to Rowen the Fairy located in Ellinia (see mini map below)

Rowen The Fairy
(QUEST COMPLETED) What can I do for you? I’ve been getting headaches over Dejected Green Mushrooms these days. what? You are asking if I know why Green Mushrooms have been acting violent lately? (REWARD: 400 EXP)

[Required] Green Mushrooms (over Lv18 Aran) 1
Quest:
This is my second gig as an informant, and I need to ask Rowen the Fairy of Ellinia why Green Mushroom have turned aggressive in general?

Rowen The Fairy
I don’t know how you found that out, but that’s absolutely correct. Lately, the Green Mushrooms from the southern forest have been getting more and more violent, which I see as red flags. They have gotten really dark these days…

But from what I hear, this is occurring in many places at an alarming rate, so I looked into the matter, and it turns out It had to do with the puppet they’re carrying. A puppet,.? This is really getting bizarre by the day.

I don’t know if those rumors are true or not, but it may have to do with the recent case of the Green Mushrooms. I don’t know why you’re asking me for the reason behind me sudden violence of Green Mushroom, but if you’re just as intrigued as I am, then do you want to help me look into this matter?

I wanted to see if it really is because of the puppets… so I want you to eliminate 25 Dejected Green Mushrooms and find Dejected Green Mushrooms puppet if you can.

(QUEST ACCEPTED) Thank you. Green Mushroom can be found at Dungeon, Southern Forest iii in The Forest South of Ellinia. You can enter through the tree hole where Talking Tree stands in front of it. so it wouldn’t be too hard to find. Thanks in advance.

Summary
Rowen the Fairy stated that shes been hearing a lot of monsters gone wild, and they all seem to have something in common, that being a puppet. Maybe this one might be included as well, so I better eliminate Dejected Green Mushroom, and ill happen to get my hand on a Green Mushroom puppet, I must return it to her.

Procedure
1. Defeat 25 Dejected Green Mushrooms in Tree Dungeon
2. Obtain a Devastated Green Mushroom Doll from Dejected Green Mushroom.
3. Return to Rowen The Fairy after completing the task.

Rowen The Fairy:
(QUEST COMPLETED) Wow, did you eliminate all the Dejected Green Mushrooms already? And did you find Green Mushrooms puppets? (REWARD: 1770 EXP)

I thought it was just a rumor .. but now irs really scaring me. The puppet were for real. We need to know how the puppet got into Green Mushroom. If you are willing to help, then please talk to me.

[Required] Tree Witness (over Lv18 Aran) 1
Quest:
This is my second gig as an informant, and the question remains, who inserted the
puppet inside Green Mushroom? I better talk to Rowen the Faiiy at Ellinia for some answers.

Rowen The Fairy:
I’m sure Talking Tree, who lives in the southern forest, may have seen who was responsible for placing the puppets In Green Mushroom. Please go talk to the kid and find out who did such a hideous thing. A favor from Rowen the Fairy will always do the trick.

(QUEST ACCEPTED) Talking Tree is a special tree that has been grown since it was just a young plant. It’s still young, but it’s kindhearted and modest at heart. He’ll give you a good answer.

Summary
Rowen the Fairy believes that Talking Tree of The Forest South of Ellinia may have witnessed someone inserting a puppet inside Green Mushroom, and asked me to ask the tree.

Procedure
1. Meet Talking Tree at The Forest South of Ellinia

Talking Tree
Did a person just talk directly to the tree? You must be really something… Do you not have any friends by chance? Otherwise you wouldn’t be talking directly to a tree anyway… What you’re here as a favor from Rowen the Fairy?

(..I thought this tree was supposed to be kindhearted and modest at heart..)

Rowen the Fairy.. Sigh, I mean first she plants me at an awkward spot like this, and now shes asking me to do some stuff. Seriously, something’s wrong with her, She keeps asking me to gather up the cursed doll and everything. Why can she do it herself? Oh, what’s the favor by the way?

(Rowen the Fairy must be quite delusional…)

(QUEST COMPLETED) Someone that’s responsible for planting the puppet in Green Mushroom… I am not sure. I did notice a strange kid dropping by Dungeon, Southern Forest III, and that kid had a puppet in his hand. Hey, come to think of it, ever since that visit, the Green Mushroom seemed much darker than usual. (REWARD: 100 EXP)

Is that all you need? Okay now leave me alone. Trees need time by themselves.

[Required] 2nd Gig Completed (over Lv18 Aran) 1
Quest:
This is my second gig as an informant and I must relay Talking Trees witness accounts to Rowen the Fairy of Ellinia.

Rowen The Fairy:
So what did Talking Tree say?

(I told him what I heard from Talking Tree)

A kid with a puppet? This seems very suspicious. I am sure the kid’s the reason why the Green Mushrooms have gotten violent all of a sudden.

(QUEST ACCEPTED) How dare the kid wreak havoc on the forest down south. This is really a serious matter. Restoring the forest down south will take years… which means I’ll have to devote my time to restoring that area now.

(1 was able to flnd out what caused the changes of Orange Mushroom. Now I should gather up the information and report the results to Tru.)

Summary
Rowen the Fairy is sure that the reason behind the change of Green Mushrooms is because of the kid carrying the puppet, and urged to take better care of me south forest Now that this case is all but wrapped up, I better gather up the information and hand them over to Tru.

Procedure
1. Meet Tru located at Lith Harbor (The Info Shop)

Tru:
Oh. this time you’re back fast. You must be learning the tricks of acquiring information in an efficient manner. Anyway, so what’s the reasoning behind the Green Mushroom acting violent at Ellinia?

(I told him what happened in Ellinia, and that the reason behind the Green Mushroom acting out might have to do with the puppet that this kid was carrying around with.)

(QUEST COMPLETED) A kid carrying a puppet.. that’s unusual This proves the theory that someone deliberately planned on changing the monsters to a more violent type… (REWARD: 400 EXP)

Okay, thanks for this valuable piece of Information. This is what I’d call lucrative Information.

Okay, your task is complete, so you should rest up until I call you for another gig. As a bonafide hero, I think it’d be best if you can spend your free time training and gaining some valuable experience needed to return to your old, heroic form. Ill let you know by around Level 23. In the mean time, if you find any information on the kid with the puppets,

By the way. I wonder if the fairies are doing a good job taking care of Green Mushrooms. It must be really hard for them to control them all. Maybe it’ll be good to ask return to Ellinia and ask if they need a hand.

Quest:
I wonder if Rowen the Fairy is doing a good job maintaining the forest. I better head over to Ellinia to see her.

Procedure:
1. Meet Rowen The Fairy at Ellinia.

Rowen The Fairy:
Apparently, the south forest was where the puppet-carrying kEd appeared, and Talking Tree was the one that said it. When the kid entered the dungeon, he had Devastated Green Mushroom Doll with him, but after he left, he was without it. I’m sure it has to do with making Green Mushroom violent again.

It’d be nice to find me one that’s responsible for this, but Talking Tree said that the kid literally shows up everywhere, so catching him red-handed will be difficult for now… but that doesn’t mean we are going to let Green Mushrooms be like that. We must recover the puppets so we can bring peace back to the south forest Will you please help us?

(QUEST ACCEPTED) Then l want you to head over to Dungeon, Southern Forest Ill and eliminate some Green Mushrooms. Right now there’s a mixture of those monsters, the one’s that’s corrupted, and the one that’s relatively unaffected, so it’s hard to tell who actually has the puppet.

But your task is simple. Forget about its personality. Just destroy 100 of them Any type of Green Mushroom. Each one of them is affected by the puppet, whether they like it or not, so it doesn’t matter. Try defeating as much as you can. and gather up as many Devastated Green Mushroom Doll as you can find.

Summary:
It seems like The Forest South of Ellinia has seen another appearance of the kid with the puppet I better eliminate Green Mushroom and retrieve the puppet.

Procedure:
1. Defeat 100 Green Mushrooms (can be mix of Normal and Dejected)
2. Obtain a Devastated Green Mushroom Doll from Dejected Green Mushroom
3. Return to Rowen The Fairy in Ellinia.

[Tip] Obtain quest Danger! 1-GreenMushroom (kill 99 Green Mushroom) near Sleepywood. This allows you to do 2 quest at once, and earn more EXP and level up faster!

Rowen The Fairy:
I see that you have defeated Green Mushrooms. Have you also retrieved the Devastated Green Mushroom Dolls?

(REWARD: 10 All Cure Potion, 2100 EXP)

Ahhh, thank goodness. Just thinking about re-training these Green Mushroom back to their usual selves will be a draining experience, but at least this brings a source of comfort for me.

But there’s no way to tell when the kid will come back and drop the puppet once more. If he happens to appear In town, Ill call you up for help.

I have changed the settings so that her ring can be transferred within the account. The ring cannot be traded with other users, but you can use the ring with different characters on your account. Did you get all that?

(QUEST COMPLETED) I have just given you the Rien Teleport Ticket, which will allow you to teleport directly to Rien. where Lirin resides. If you ever become a Level 50 Aran, then use it! Now I hope each and every one of you enjoy the festive that come with the return of Aran!

Rowen Request 2 (over Lv20 Aran)
Quest:
I better go see Rowen the Fairy at Ellinia and see if the kid made another appearance at the
south forest.

Rowen The Fairy:
I have just received a report that the kid showed up again at the south forest, and this time Talking Tree even warned the kid to stop, only to be told hell break off the branches If he stops the boy from going in, then he just disappeared.

It’d be nice to catch the guilty one responsible for all this, but we usually can’t This means well have to eliminate Or een Mushrooms and gather up Devastated Green Mushroom Doll again. And just like last time, you can just defeat whatever Green Mushroom you see, regardless of others.

(QUEST ACCEPTED) Now please head over to Dungeon, Southern Forest III once more. There, I want you to eliminate 100 Green Mushrooms. regardless of their personality, and retrieve Devastated Green Mushroom Doll as well. We already did this before, so It won’t take too long.

(REWARD: 20 All Cure Potion, 2500 EXP)

We have already retrieved Devastated Green Mushroom Doll three times already. I don’t see what the reason is behind making Green Mushroom more violent, but d like nothing more than for that kid to stop showing around causing trouble.

[Skill] The Puppeteer’s Invitation 1 (over Lv22 Aran)

2. Francis teleports you to his Puppeteer’s Cave Hidden Street where he talks to you.
3. After talking to Francis, visit Tru to inform him about this matter.

Shadow:
Hey, aren’t you the one that used to be in Ellinia? So I finally found you! Do you know how long it took for me to finally find you?

(Who are you?)

Me? If you want to know, then you should stop by my cave. I’m even sending you a formal invitation. The moment you accept It, you’ll be sent directly to my cave. Ill be waiting for you.

Summary
When I decided to accept an invitation from a mysterious figure, I found myself arriving at a strange-looking cave! And Inside the cave.., Is the kid with the puppet’ That’s the kid responsible for manipulating the monsters in Henesys and Ellinia? I better talk to the kid and see whats up.

Francis:
(QUEST ACCEPTED) I’m Francis, the puppeteer behind Black Wings. How dare you pick out the puppets that I have planted! It’s really disturbing to think that you’re on my way. but I’ll have to let you slide for now. The next time I find you do this..however. I will make sure to make your life a living hell, in the name of the Black Wizard.

(QUEST COMPLETED) (…Black Wings? In his way? Whats going on? What has finding puppets from the monsters and Black Wizard have to do with this? I better talk to Tru about this.)

[Skill] Puppeteer’s Warning (over Lv22 Aran)
Procedure
1. Talk to Tru who is located in Lith Harbor within a shop (Info Shop)

Tru:
Hmmm? I still haven’t found a right kind of information for you.. well do you need me for anything else? Or a juicy information that I should know…?

(1 told him of the time I encountered the master puppeteer Francis)

Francis, the puppeteer of Black Wings Okay, now this all makes sense The Orange Mushroom crisis In Henesys, and the Green Mushroom crisis in Ellinia are all done by the same guy. But wait… are you telling me he also talks to the Black Wizard?

(QUEST ACCEPTED) Now that I think of it… I do remember a report saying that there’s a group that’s trying to revive the Black Wizard. I thought it was bogus, but now… that seems quite legit Are they really trying to resurrect the Black Wizard? Is the prophecy holding true?

I think Black Wings is worth looking into now It seems like a discreet organization, but… there’s no way they can escape the information web that I have set out all over this island. Ill let you know when I find out something thats relevant. You should head over to Rien and tell Lirin what has happened here.

The return of the hero, the group that follows the Black Wizard, and the prophecy… the three seem to go hand in hand. As someone who revived the hero, Lirin has a right to know about this as well. As someone that had studied the heroes for a long time, Lirin may be of great help.

Summary
He decided that since the Black Wings is an organization that strives to resurrect the Black Wizard, These information must be parlayed to Urin as well, and asked me to do so to her. In the mean time, Tru plans on utilizing his network as an information merchant to the fullest and gamer up as much information on Black Wings as possible

Procedure
1. Meet Lirin at Rein to inform her about this matter.

Lirin:
What is it? Mr Truth sent me a message saying that you’ve been training diligently at Victoria Island, while helping him outwith his work What is it? …What? Black Wings?

(I told her the story on the puppeteer and Black Wings, and their mission.)

I see. .1 didn’t know there was such a group. They should know That lt,s a risky proposition just thinking about resurrecting Black Wizard in the world of Maple, and yet they’re doing just that mars just being ignorant.

That, that’s true.. (Kind of scared me with the way she talked there.)

The Book of Prophecy only stated that the hero will be resurrected and battle with the Black Wizard. I wasn’t sure if itwas true, since that was all that was to it, but this confirms it that the Black Wizard is still around.

(Aren’t you scared?)

Scared? No way. Who cares if the Black Wizard shows up again, since you’re here to protect us all, no? If nothing else, this makes me realy want to prepare you for the big encounter. Ah, that reminds me, I found this skill. Would you like to take a look?

(QUEST COMPLETED) (I managed to remember the Pole Arm Booster skill!) (REWARD: 3900 EXP)

This was a skill that was found at an ancient script that was undecipherable. I had a feeling it might have been a skill that you used to use, and I guess I was right This skill may not be much right now, but I’m sure you’ll soon find a way to regain your old form with it.

I don’t know if you notice, but you are steadily becoming more powerful, and I will be here to keep you going, so what is there to be afraid of? You wont lose this battle, you know. You didn’t emerge from ice for hundreds of years only to lose to the Black Wizard. right? Its time for you to finish him of once and for all!

And in order to do that, there’s only one thing you can do, and that Is to train, train and train! Head over to Victoria Island and keep training. Lets make sure you become so powerful that the Black Wizard doesn’t even stand a chance!

Summary
Lirin stated that me fact mat an organization like Black Wings exist means the Black Wizard is well on his way towards resurrection, and that I must train that much harder to retain my old, heroic form and handle the Black Wizard. She then taught me a skill that she deciphered through an old book called Pole Arm Booster!

[Required] 3rd Informant Gig (over Lv23 Aran)
Quest:
I have now reached Level 23, which means Tru will alert me on the third gig as an informant. I better head over to Lith Harbor and talk to Tru.
Procedure
1. Meet Tru at Lith Harbor Info Shop.

Tru:
How’s the training gong for you? I have a new set of information that you’ll need to gather up for me, Lately, Smirking Ghost Stumps have been acting strange at Perion… Doesn’t this sound familiar? The puppeteer Is at it again, doing the same thing at Henesys and Ellinia.

If you want details. you should talk to 10 Boogies. who’s at Perion. She works at an excavation site, so she might know some things about this.

(QUEST ACCEPTED) You know where Perion Is, right? I’m sure you’re quite familiar with Victoria Island, It’s located at the very north of Victoria Island, There, flnd the cutest girl you see there, and shell be the one. Her name’s a bit strange, but yes, she’s a girl.

Summary
Tru seemed to suspect that the Ghost Stump case n Penon s awfully similar to the ones in Henesys and Ellinia, and asked me to gain some information on this case For details, Ill have to head over to Penon and talk to 10 Boogies…

Procedure
1. Meet 10 Boogies in Perion.

10 Boogies:
(QUEST COMPLETED) Ahhh. Are you Aran by chance? I have heard good things about you through Tru. I hear that you’re here to help out on whats going on at the excavation site (REWARD: 400 EXP)

[Required] Ghost Stumps (over Lv23 Aran)
Quest:
This is my third gig as an information and this one involves studying the suddenly-suspicious Smirking Ghost Stump with 10 Boogies of Perion. I better talk to 10 Boogies.
Procedure
1. Talk to 10 Boogies to start the quest!

10 Boogies:
I have been spending some hme investigating the strange turn of events that have taken place here at Excavation Site I and Smirking Ghost Stump suddenly becoming violent is one of those issues. I was having a hard time doing all this by myself but now that you have offered to help, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Thanks for coming, and let’s do this.

Alter a number of tests, I came up with the conclusion that the Ghost Stump acted strange because of this strange puppet called Smirking Ghost Stump Doll. This means well have to eliminate Smirking Ghost Stumps and remove the Smirking Ghost Stump Doll as well. Maybe defeating a 100 would help you find one?

(QUEST ACCEPTED) It hasn’t been long since Ghost Stumps went crazy, so
frankly I am not sure which one of the two, whether it be Smirking Ghost Stump or Ghost Stump, actually carries the puppet.

So I don’t know how the personalities play out, but I just suggest eliminating any form of Ghost Stump. Oh by the way, if you manage to defeat all 100 of them, but come away with out a puppet, then just come back here. There might be a different reason for it, then.

Summary
10 Boogies seemed to already know that the reason for Smirking Ghost Stump’s erratic behavior is because of the puppet, and asked me to enter Excavation Site I and defeat 100 Smirking Ghost Stumps while retrieving Smirking Ghost Stump’s puppet, but she also told me If I can find the puppet after a 200 casualties, then I can just return to her, with no problem.

Procedure
1. Defeat 100 Ghost Stumps at Excavation Site 1 (see picture below)
2. Return to 10 Boogies after completing the task.
NOTE: Ghost Stumps can be any personality, either normal or smirking.
NOTE: You complete the quest without having doll dropped from Ghost Stump.

10 Boogies:
(QUEST COMPLETED) I see that you have defeated 100 Smirking Ghost Stumps by yourself. Did you happen to find the puppet? What.. no puppet to be seen? (REWARD: 3900 EXP)

Hmmm. I knew something wasn’t right The monitor said that the puppet is here somewhere, but it wasn’t moving at all. Maybe they’re using another way to make Smirking Ghost Stump look suspicious.

I’ll think of another way to spot this. In the mean time, how are you doing with the leveling up? I’ll see you at Level 24.

Summary
I wound up defeating 200 Smirking Ghost Stumps, to no avail. 10 Boogies stresses that Smirking Ghost Stump is being detected somewhere nearby, but it’s not moving

[Required] Find the Puppet (over Lv24 Aran)
Quest:
This is my third gig as an informant, and I’m here at Perion with 10 Boogies, investigating the causes by Smirking Ghost Stump’s erratic behavior. I better go talk to 10 Boogies

10 Boogies:
I am quite certain the puppet plays a part in Smirking Ghost Stump acting strange. This monitor catches the force of darkness emanating from the puppet, and displays it on the screen. If the puppet was inside Smirking Ghost Stump, then it would have been moving, but look, it’s not moving at all.

That means the puppet is somewhere around Smirking Ghost Stump. but not necessarily inside its bony, Nearby the excavation site, you’ll see a pile of relics lying around. Maybe the kid hid in somewhere in between.

In order to stop Smirking Ghost Stump from going any further, well have to defeat them all and retrieve the puppet. Your task right now Is to head over to Excavation Site I, blast all the piles of relic, and find Smirking Ghost Stump Doll for all of us. The monitor shows that there are 5 puppets out there. Please retrieve them all.

(QUEST ACCEPTED) Urn… you don’t know how to break down a pile of relics? Just use a regular attack on it. and the pile will crumble.

Summary
10 8ooies told me the reason behind Smirking Ghost Stumps erratic behavior is because of the puppet, and states that the puppet is not necessarily inside Smirking Ghost Stump‘s body, but somewhere outside. I better break apart the pile of relics In Excavation Site 1 and find Smirking Ghost Stump Doll.

Procedure
1. Visit Excavation Site 1 and use regular attack to break Relic.
2. Obtain 5 Smirking Ghost Stump Doll from Relic.

10 Boogies:
Wow, you managed to find all the Smirking Ghost Stump Dolls around the area. Okay this one is going straight to the report (REWARD: 4500 EXP)

First, well have to wrap up this project. and it’ll take a bit of time, so I want you to stop by later, around when you turn Level 27.

Summary
I was able to find all of the Smirking Ghost Stump Dolls. 10 Boogies seemed genuinely shocked that the puppets were used in that method as well, and told me she had to start writing a report on this. A report?

[Required] 3rd Gig Completed (over Lv25 Aran)
Quest:
This is my third gig as an informant, and this one involved investigating the suddenly-erratic Smirking Ghost Stump at Perion, and with the help of 10 Boogies, we were able to locate the cause behind this madness. The case seems to be nearing its end. I better go talk to 10 Boogies.
Procedure:
1. Meet 10 Boogies at Perion

10 Boogies:
I think this taught me a number of things. 1st. Anytime there’s a group of monsters mat have suddenly turned violent there’s ALWAYS a puppet involved. 2nd, these puppets don’t necessarily have to be inside the monster’s body to be controlled. It just needs to be in the vicinity of the monsters to be controlled by the puppeteer… And 3rd, The puppeteer does not control monsters in one area. He somehow controls the monsters that are in all parts of Victoria Island!

(QUEST ACCEPTED) Thank you so much for your help. Aran, Your help was very much appreciated. Please ve my thanks to Tru as well. By the way, when do I have to mail in this report.? Oh, don mind me, I was just talking to myself.

Summary
10 Boogies states that the puppet doesn’t necessarily have to be inside the monster’s bodyto function, but just in the vicinity, and will take measures to beef up me security so the kid with the puppets will never be allowed within Perion ever again This concludes the case, and I am going to send me information to Tru.

Procedure
1. Meet Tru at Lith Harbor Info Shop

Tru:
Hey mere. hero! How are you doing? Did you take care or some things with 10 Boogies?

(I told him what happened at Penon where 10 Boogies summarized the whole ordeal.)

Hmmm,.. I see. Okay, Ill contact my informants from all over Victoria Island so we can close in on the puppeteer. (REWARD: 400 EXP)

Anyway, this is like the third or fourth time that you have stepped in and messed with their plans. I’m sure the puppeteer will do something about it. You even ignored his warning once. I have a feeling he might find you first before we find him. Brace for possible attack.

I’ll keep looking into leads that connect to the puppeteer or the Black Wings. In the mean time, how about spending some hme training? Ill see you around Level 28.

Summary
I reported what happend at Perion to Tru, and this concluded the third informant gig.

Procedure
1. Meet 10 Boogies to proceed with the next step.

Ten Boogies (over Lv25 Aran)
Quest:
After the case closed on Smirking Ghost Stump, 10 Boogies seemed to be looking for me for something I wonder what that must be. I better talk to 10 Boogies.
Procedure
1. Meet 10 Boogies at Perion.

Ten Boogies:
Urn… hi, Aran. I notice that you’re busy, but can you help me out once more? This time, its separate from the Information Tru had been looking for It’s a personal favor, and I will reward you separately for your work. Will that be okay with you?

(QUEST ACCEPTED) Thanks to your help. I was able to complete the
investigation, and now it’s time to turn in the reports… yet I can leave this place not knowing when the puppeteer will show up once again, so I want you to head over to Erev and submit this report to Nineheart for me.

Do you know how to get to Erev? Head over to Ellinia, and there should be a flight available to Erev. You’ll get there in about 2 minutes. which is a short trip. Thanks in advance.

Summary
10 Boogies thanked me for helping her solve the mystery, but was stuck in a predicament in that she has to turn In the report, but she cannot leave her post at this juncture She then asked me if I could deliver the report to her boss for her. So my task is to take Report from 10 Boogies, and deliver it to Nineheart at Erev.

Procedure
1. In Victoria Island, visit Ellinia Boat Harbor (the left gateway/portal)
2. The left gateway goes to Erev. The right gateway goes to Orbis.
3. Talk to Kiriru and pay him 1000 meso as a fee to Erev.
4. Meet Nineheart located at Queens Road Erev and give her the report.

NineHeart:
What is it? Hmmm? Isn’t that Report from 10 Boogies? Oh no. this is a confidential report that you just delivered to a stranger. If any of the classified matters is leaked, then… your paycheck will value every sent you lost, 10 Boogies… Hahaha I was just kidding. This report doesn’t include anything that’s classified.

(REWARD: 10 Return Scroll Nearest Town, 900 EXP)

Anyway, thank you for your help. Just know that Erev is not a place where they welcome strangers in the mix, so if you are not interested in becoming a Knight. then please leave immediately. Just the number of Knights training to prevent 8lack Wizard is enough to overflow the island.

Summary
I handed in the report to Nineheart and received a reward. I noticed that he had a
peculiar way of of speaking very inappropriately in a proper tone, That reminds me of another person…

[Required] [Required] 4th Informant Gig (over Lv28 Aran)
Quest:
I have now reached Level 28. which means my fourth gig as an informant for Tru. I better head over to Lith Harbor and meet with Tru.

Tru:
You look like you’ve gained a lot of experience over the period of time. I have received a new information. Apparently, Zombie Mushrooms of Sleepywood are suffering from depression. Don’t you think it’s closely related to the puppeteer…?

(QUEST ACCEPTED) The person who first reported this finding was a boy named Eji. Go over to SIeepwood and talk to him about all things Zombie Mushroom, okay? If you find something that leads to the puppeteer, don just attack it right then and there. Just make your way back here and let me know, and well take it from there.

Summary
Reports have been filed that In Sleepywood, a bunch of Zombie Mushrooms have been found to suffer from depression. This has the work of the puppeteer all over It I better head over to Sleepywood and talk to the person who first discovered this, a boy named Eji.

Procedure
1. Go to Sleepywood and meet Eji.

Eji:
A, hell there. Are you the one Tru was talking about, Aran? Nice to meet you! My name is Eji. and I have been exploring Victoria Island in hopes of one day becoming stronger. (REWARD: 500 EXP)

[Required] Zombie Mushrooms (over Lv28 Aran)
Quest:
This is my fourth gig as an informant, and it involves the erratic behavior of Zombie Mushroom at Sleepywood. I better talk to the witness that reported the incident, Eji.

Eji:
Our whole family is a swordsman, and our tradition is that once you reach a certain age, we have to leave home and explore the life of a swordsman, and tha’s why rm here too. And since I am here. I made my way to Sleepywood so that I can follow my brother’s footsteps and best Balrog myself

But there is a problem. The Zombie Mushrooms in the Ant Tunnel look so scaly, I can even go inside! What? Are you asking me howl am going to take on Balrog when I can’t even fight Zombie Mushroom? No no, I am not afraid of Zombie Mushroom because of its power. I am afraid because
of its scary expression that Is ready to break out any minute.

I noticed that The people that live there at Sleepywood seem way past That point of being bothered by anything. They even told me Even Zombie Mushroom experiences mood swings, too”, Gut really, something doesn seem right, and This needs to be looked into.

Tru told me this is your specialty, and that you will do it all by yourself. Is that true?

(QUEST ACCEPTED) Then can you please fight 200 Zombie Mushrooms and beat them? I think what Annoyed Zombie Mushroom needs to be taught a lesson to return to normal. According to Tru, since they just started breaking out, you can go ahead and defeat them, regardless of whether they are affected or not.

Oh, and one more thing. Tru urged me to listen, saying that This probably leads to the puppeteer case, and that you should find the puppet That controls Those monsters. A puppet? Whafs a puppet got to do with this? I don’t know what exacily is going on, but it looks like all you need to do is find the puppet.

Summary
Eu seemed terrified to see so many Zombie Mushrooms making an irritated face, and that prevents him from entering the Ant Tunnel, and asked us to find out what exactly happened to Zombie Mushroom. I guess it involves eliminating Zombie Mushroom and retrieving Annoyed Zombie Mushroom Doll…

Procedure
1. Eliminate 300 Zombie Mushrooms
2. Obtain Annoyed Zombie Mushroom Doll.

[TIP] Obtain secondary quests (Defeating 99 zombie mushrooms and horned mushrooms). This will help you gain more EXP (experience points) and level you faster while doing the primary quest!

Eji:
Wow, you managed to defeat Zombie Mushroom and retrieve the puppet But anyway, what exactly is in those puppets anyway? And what was Zombie Mushroom doing with it? (REWARD: 7500 EXP)

Hey…? What’s this puppet with an intense, gross look on its face? It might be the doll mat the kd was carrying around.

[Required] Puppeteer’s Cave (over Lv28 Aran)
Quest:
This is my fourth as an informant, and it involves Eji, who apparently remembered something by looking at the Annoyed Zombie Mushroom Doll retrieved from Zombie Mushroom I better go talk to him at Sleepywood.

Eji:
A while ago. I saw this strange looking kid wearing a robe passing by this area. The kid looked suspicious from head to toe, from clothing to the way he was carrying Annoyed Zombie Mushroom Doll along, so I talked to him to give him a lecture, and the kid seemed like a total punk’ What did he
talk about? Well…

“I want to become lust like my brother and defeat Balrog myself but I need to pass me Evil Eye Cave before getting there, and.. The Evil Eyes look very scary. I don’t know how I am going to pass through them.

The conversation went something like that. but Is that kid really living inside that cave? Wow. that would scare me so much. Under the same roof with Evil Eye? Oh no way. Don you find that kid strange as well?

(QUEST ACCEPTED) Eh? Aran, are you really going to enter and check out and see If the kid really lives there? Wow, no way! Who cares If It’s true or not? Why would you want to volunteer to go in there? No way… but looking atyou, I can easily tell that you’re ready to go. You’re brave, that’s for sure!

[Required] 3rd Gig Completed (over Lv30 Aran)
Quest:
Once I reached Level 30, Lirin struck up a conversation with me.
Procedure
1. Once you reach level 30, a light bulb appears. Talk to Lirin.

Lirin:
How’s the training going? Wow, looking at you, I can tell your levels have shot through the root That’s amazing… well, anyway. I see that you’re busy, but you’ll have to return to the island for a bit.

(QUEST ACCEPTED) Your Giant Pole Arm thats being kept in Rien is acting strange all of a sudden. According to the book, the pole arm reacts like this when It’s calling for its master. Maybe it’s calling for you? Please come back to the island and find out.

Procedure
1. Visit Lirin at Rein
2. Talk to Maha (Spirit of Pole Arm) nearby Lirin.

Summary
In front of the pole arm. I see a strange-looking boy that I have never met before. Who is that? That kid does look a bit familiar.What? That boy is Giant Pole Arm? No way…!

Giant Pole Arm:
Mmmmmmm mmmm mmmmm…..

(Giant Pole Arm is buzzing, but who’s that boy standing there?)
(I’ve never met him before. He doesn’t look human)

Maha:
Hey Aran! Do you still not hear me? Seriously, can’t you hear me? Ahhh, this is frustrating!

(Whoa, who was that? Sounds like an angry boy…)

Seriously, the on master I had turned out to be trapped in ice for hundreds of years, abandoning the weapon, and now the “master” can’t even hear me?

(Who are you?)

Aran? Do you hear me now? It’s me, it’s me! I’m your weapon Maha the pole arm!

(… Maha? Giant Pole Arm actually talks?)

Why do you have that look on your face like you can’t believe it? I see that you have lost all your memories but. did you also forget about me? How can you do that to me??

(I’m sorry, but seriously… I don’t remember a thing.)

Is that all you can say after all those years? 1m sorry? Do you understand how bored was all by myself for hundreds of years? 8rinq it out if you can. Bring your memories out! Bring them all out! Dig them up if you need to!

(QUEST COMPLETED) (The voice That claims to be Maha the Giant Pole Arm seem quite perturbed. This conversation is going nowhere. I better talk to Lirin flrst)

Lirin:
Seriously what happened to the pole arm What? Giant Pole Arm talked to you in human voice? Hmmm… that’s really something. The record showed that the heroes weapons have an identity of its own, and talks like a human being. but I didn’t think much of it. l guess that was true though.

If it really is the voice of the pole arm, then you’ll need to pay attention to it Just like Giant Pole Arm said, you must find a way to squeeze out a memory in regards to Giant Pole Arm What should we do to have that memory reappear on you.. hmmm, wait a minute, I actually have an item that may hold
the key to this.

Head over west past town. and you’ll encounter a dead end with ice cliffs. Inside, there’s an ice cave, and… you’ll find a mirror that’s made out of ice called Mirror Cave.

This mysterious mirror that was made by one of the workers from a long time ago is called the Mirror of Desire, because it shows what you desire from deep inside your heart, but it doesn’t show EVERYTHING, so its a bit hard to use.

First of all, this mirror only shows things that are directly involved with you, and it only shows a detailed target of your desire, not something nonobjective. You’ll need to really focus a specific target, and desire to see that target on the mirror, and you’ll really get to see it.

Your memories were too broad and non objective, which was too much for the Mirror of Desire to handle. But now we have a specific target with the pole arm, so you may actually get to see something. Go ahead and check out the Mirror of Desire.

(QUEST ACCEPTED) Don’t forget, it must be a specific target thats related to you. Then you might get something out oft he Mirror of Desire.

Procedure
1. Head to Mirror Cave Snow Island. Enter the portal.
2. This will teleport you to “Head Blacksmith’s Shop – Aran’s Past”
3. Find “Sir Blacksmith” at the other side of the portal.

Sir Blacksmith:
Hmmm hmmm… what’s a young kid like you doing here?

(I want the best pole arm available!)

The very best pole arm? You can buy it at a town down there…

(I hear that you are the best blacksmith in all of Maple, and I’d like nothing more than for you to make me the best pole arm in the world!)

Listen. I am too old to be making weapons now, but.. I do have a pole arm with me that I made way back that’s still quite useful. But.. I cant gwe that to you. This weapon is so sharp and sensitive that even the owner will get hurt from time to time. Do you still want it?

(QUEST ACCEPTED) Hah. if that’s what you say, then there’s nothing else I can
say. Tell you what. I will give you a quick test, and if you can pass it then Giant Pole Arm is yours. Head over to the train ing ground and take on the Scarred Bears that’s training there. Your job is to bflng back 30 Sign of Acceptances while defeating them, okay?

Procedure
1. Obtain 30 Sign of Acceptance from Scarred Bears.
2. Scarred Bears are located at “Outside Blacksmith’s Shop – Aran Past”

Sir Blacksmith:
(QUEST COMPLETED) Hoh, were you able to gather up the Sign of Acceptances? You are much more powerful than I thought But more than that. I like the level of courage you displayed by saying that you’re more than willing to take on the weapon that may also turn on you. You deserve it. Giant Pole Arm is yours.

(After a long while, Sir Blacksmith re-emerged with Giant Pole Arm that’s covered in cloth.)

This is the pole arm specifically made for you, Maha. Please take care of her.

[Job Adv.] Mirror of Desire (over Lv30 Aran)
Procedure
1. After completing “In Search of Best Weapon”, meet Maha at Rein.

Maha
You promised me to make me become a famous weapon alter defeating the Black Wizard, but instead, you got cursed by him and abandoned me for hundreds of years… and now youre telling me you doni even remember me? You think l’rn going to let you get away with that? Hey, you are the one that used to beg for me..

(I did tell Sir Blacksmith to make one for me, because I’ll prove my worth.)

Of course, since you begged for me, you should have taken care of me with respect! Where else will you find a weapon like me? I’m Giant Pole Arm, the greatest of all time that fought against the Black Wizard’ And then… you got me trapped in ice for hundreds of years…

(I… didn’t beg for you.)

What? You didn’t beg for me? Sir Blacksmith told me you were on your knees begging for me to be made and everything, and.. wait a minute. Aran’ Did your memory just come back???

(A little bit, but yeah.)

Oh… you’re really Aran… Hmm, hmm hmmm! No, I didn’t just get emotional or anything You were dealt a serious blow by the Black Wizard, and you lost all your abilities to the point where you can even carry me around now, but . you remember me…! At least your level 0f courage is on par with the master I remember.

Even if you don’t remember me, you are still my master. The body that had gone through the extremes should remember the skills that got you to that level in the first place You may feel like everything disappeared on ice, but I can tell that’s not the case. Okay, let me reawaken your abilities now!

(QUEST COMPLETED) Your level is still not on par with your heroic days, so I cant reawaken everthing you have, but the few that I did reawaken should help you level up faster! Please keep training so I will one day get to see the old you. (REWARD: Aran In Memory Medal Title)

MapleStory Evan Skills + Skill Build

Main information coming soon…
Download Music: DragonDream

Introduction to Evan
Another story of a baby dragon who has been waiting for a hero.
Once there was a normal boy that lived near the village of Henesys.
He discovers a dragon egg that he saw in his dream.
And so, the story of the Dragon Master unfolds.
In the beginning, Evan and the baby dragon knew nothing.
But with the growth of the baby dragon, Evan’s strength continues to increase endlessly.

Q: A little more about Evan?
Spadow: Evan will have a similar start as Aran (Black Road),
but will not have the exclusive Combo system.
At Lv. 1, Evan will start in a place nearby Henesys.
Evan discovers a dragon egg that he saw in his dream,
it hatches and the strength and growth of the baby dragon will be stronger.
Evan is a Dragon Master with an (evolving) dragon by his side,
the Dragon can evolve ten times: 10 ? 15 ? 20 ? 30 ? 45 ? 70 ? 85 ? 100 ? 110 ? 120.
The Dragon starts little at the beginning, but at the end it will evolve in a big strong Dragon

Dragon Elemental Attacks
Has a combination of Fire, Ice, Lightning attacks. Poison? You have best of both worlds.
This allows the player to train on maps where Fire Mage and Ice Mage used to train on.

Dragon Attacks Only Front
Dragon only attacks wherever your character faces. If it faces on the left, the dragon attacks monster on the left and vice versa. It’s not flexible as Bishop Bahamuth that can attack freely (left/right/bottom/top). So if you are looking for a way to AFK (Away From Keyboard) and Train, make sure your character faces the platform with monster at one corner!

Q: What’s special about Evan compare to the rest?
A: This job does not have ‘Job? Advances’ like other classes. It has 10 skill mastery levels where you get new skills. The dragon is the one doing all the skills. The player is powerless but controls it. This is the unique gimmick of Evan. Just like Aran’s gimmick is the combo system.

MapleStory Fishing Lagoon Guide

Simple Fishing Guide written by mrs.oro’s

Fishing is actually a very simple business. However, the concept of fishing could still be remote for some of us. I’ve written a guide, hopefully, it can clear some doubts about fishing.

Fishing is a means for players to earn experience points, mesos, ores and fishes in the game.

Kedrick the Fisherman. Located in most towns.

1) Minimum Level 10 in order to enter the Lagoon.

2) Fishing Chair (50000 mesos; no expiry)

3) EITHER
a) Fishing Rod

OR
b) VIP Fishing Rod

4) Fishing baits (2 types)

a) Regular baits (120 baits each time, payable 3000 mesos)
b) Delicious baits (120 baits each time, exchange with Delicious Bait Can bought for 1000 @cash from Cash Shop)

1) Go to Cash Shop. Buy either a Fishing Rod or VIP Fishing Rod depending on your individual preference. (Optional: buy Delicious Bait Can)
2) Talk to Kedrick the Fisherman. Buy a Fishing Chair for 50000 mesos. Buy fishing baits. (Optional: exchange Delicious Bait Can for 120 Delicious Baits)
3) Enter Fishing Lagoon by talking to Kedrick. Once inside Lagoon, click on the “Setup” tab and double-click the fishing chair to begin fishing.

Basically your character will do nothing except to fish. Depending on the fishing rod you use, the character will gain something after every 30 seconds / 1 minute. “SUCCESS” will appear on top of your character if you have gained something significant. A non-profitable yield will give only 10 mesos otherwise.

These are what you can get per bait:
1) mesos: 100 to 15000 mesos (*upper limit needs to be verified)
2) 1 unit of ore: either a mineral or gem
3) experience points: varying amounts
4) fish: for “Secret Dish of Great Chef” quest

Basically, players fish mostly to gain experience. This is especially relevant to high level players (4th jobbers). Each fishing session using only Regular Baits can yield approximately 0.5% experience. If combined with Delicious Baits, each session will yield 1-2% experience. For a low level player, 1-2% experience gain can be attained in a matter of minutes; for high level players, 1-2% experience gain could mean 1 million or 10 million experience points. Hence, it is not worth the mesos or real life currency to start fishing at low levels.

Fish (variety of sizes):
Carp(100cm), Carp(113cm),
Salmon(166cm), Salmon(183cm)
Whitebait(3.6cm) Whitebait(5cm), Whitebait(6.5cm), Whitebait(10cm)
Sailfish(120cm),
Sword (Level 1), Pico-pico Hammer, Shovel(quest)

Each fishing session randomly gives you 4 types of fishes of varying sizes. The quest requires a certain number of a particular fish type and size (e.g. Whitebait 3.6cm). You may end up with a good number of carps of varying sizes but not the one needed by the quest (specifically, Carp 100cm), hence it is not possible to complete the quest in 1 fishing session. Most of the time, you will have to fish for days or weeks to finish this quest. The quest is repeatable but the reward is mediocre, so no point doing it imo.

Quest requirement as shown below:

If your ETC slots are full but your bait yields an ETC item (ore or fish), you will not get anything (a.k.a you have wasted 1 bait). A message saying, “You cannot get anymore items” will show up. However, this will not affect meso or experience gained from fishing.

Illustration: I have emerald ore, carp 30cm and mithril ore in my ETC slots and the rest of filled up. As I continue to fish, I can only get emerald ore, carp 30cm and mithril ore. I will not be able to receive other ores or fishes.

Fishing will continue until all the baits run out.

Fishing baits can only be bought once a day. The timer will reset at 12 a.m. daily.

Illustration 1
Player buys Regular Bait at 9.00am and exchanged Delicious Bait at 9.00am. The next time he/she can buy and exchange baits will be 12.00am the next day.

Illustration 2
Player buys Regular Bait at 11.55pm and exchanged Delicious Bait at 11.55pm. The next time he/she can buy and exchange baits will technically be 12.00am (5 minutes later). However, the player has to finish consuming all the baits before he/she can make another purchase.

Illustration 3
Player buys Regular Bait at 12.15am and exchanged Delicious Bait at 12.15am. The next time he/she can buy and exchange baits will be 12.00am the next day.

Illustration 4
Player buys Regular bait at 11.55pm and exchanged Delicious Bait at 12.00am. The next time he/she can buy Regular baits will be 12.00am (5 minutes later) and exchange Delicious Baits at 12.00am 24 hours later.

Note: It doesn’t matter how many Delicious Bait Cans you want to buy or stack in your CASH inventory. You can only exchange 1 Delicious Bait Can per day.

Q: When you say, ‘each fishing session’, what are you referring to ?
- each catch ?
- 120 baits = 1 session ?
A: Each fishing session refers to 120 regular baits.
If you bought Delicious Bait Can, each session will be a total of 240 fish baits.

The duration of the fishing will depend on the fishing rod you use. For example:

1) Ordinary rod: 120 regular baits = 120 minutes
Ordinary rod: 120 regular baits + 120 delicious baits = 240 minutes

2) VIP rod: 120 regular baits = 60 minutes
VIP rod: 120 regular baits + 120 delicious baits = 120 minutes

Q: Is it possible to buy the chair and use it outside the fishing lagoon?
The fishing chair can be bought any time but it can only be used inside the lagoon.

Q: What level do you suggest we should start fishing at?
I’d say when 0.5% of your TNL (exp To-Next-Level) is 1m exp, i.e. your TNL is around 200m.
You won’t really see the effect of exp gained from fishing until you’re at a desperate-enough level.

Q: Do you mean player at any level fishes gets 0.5%/bait?
Hahaha! Definitely not per bait!
Approximately 0.5% for 120 regular baits, and yes, 0.5% for all levels.

Q: Since I am only level 58, it is not worth it for me to afk right?
I think it’s a too early to fish. 0.5% at that level is probably around 5000 exp? Not too difficult to get.

Q: Could fishing earn lots of meso such as 5k per bait (600k per day)
On a good day, you’ll only get 40000 mesos for 120 regular baits probably.

After completing quest, you will be teleported to Ice Cave Snow Island to meet Lirin.

Tutorial Lirin:
You… are finally awake!

(…who are you?)

I’ve been waiting for you. Waiting for the hero that fought the Black Wizard to finally wake up…!

(…Wait, what are you saying? And who are you… ? Wait… who am I…? I don’t remember a thing form the past! OUch… and I have a terrible headache!)

Are you okay?

(I… really don’t remember a thing…. Where am I? And who are you?)

Relax. The curse of the Black Wizard is the reason why you don’t have any memories with you. here’s no need to worry about what happened in the past. I’ll explain it to you in detail.

You’re a bonafide hero here. A few hundred years ago, you and your friends battled the Black Wizard and saved the world of Maple from certain destruction. But at the last possible moment, the Black Wizard gave you a curse, which had you frozen in ice for a long time while completely wiping out your memory.

You are currently at an Island called Rien, and it’s the Island the Black Wizard chose to trap you for hundred of years. Because of his curse, this island is always covered in snow and ice, even though the weather is nothing close to that level. You were found somewhere deep in the cave.

And my name is Lirin, a member of the Rien race. The Rien race has been holding hope for your return for centuries, and now… the hope has finally paid off. You are here, standing right in front of me, the living breathing legend.

I may have given you too much information all at once. If you have yet to catch on to everything, then that’s okay. You’ll find out, sooner or later. In the meat time, you should head over to town. If you have any questions before getting to town, please feel free to ask me.

You will be teleported to Snow Island Cold Forest 1. Lirin accompanies you in your journey. Double click on Lirin to ask questions about matters you are in doubt.

Who am I?
Lirin: You, my friend, are one of the heroes that fought valiantly against the Black Wizard hundreds of years ago. You have lost all your memories because of the curse he casted on you.

Where am I?
This is Rein Island, an island that held you on ice for hundred of years. It’s a small island that consists of little more than snow and ice. Most residents here are penguins.

Who are you?
My name is Lirin, a member of the Rein race that has been waiting for you to arrive. My dream has come true, and I will be here to guide you for the rest of your journey.

Tell me what I need to do now.
If you want more details, you should head over to town right now. Just follow the instructions. I will tell you more details once we reach town.

What are inventories?
How do I improve my skills?
How do I put on an equipment item?
How do I use the quick slot?

Wait, so I am looking at the very person that your race has been waiting for hundred of years? Wow! I could tell the hero looked a bit different from the rest…

But because of that curse of the Black Wizard that got you trappd in ice for hundred of years, you do look quite weak. Here’s a potion for recovery. Please take it.

I might have really been a hero in the past life. Even so, I have no recollection of what happened in the past…

(REWARD: Can be run with the quest “The Weapon That Disappeared”)

I’ve been searching through blocks of ice inside the cave in hopes of finding our hero, but… I didn’t think I’d actually see one in front of me right now! The prophecy is correct! Lirin, you were right! Now that the hero has been resurrected, we won’t have to worry about the Black Wizard anymore, right?

Wait, I have been holding onto you for too long. I’m sorry, but I bet you other penguins will react the say way as I did. I know you’re busy and all, but on your way to town, please go strike up a conversation with other penguins. Everyone will be shocked if the hero is the one initiating a conversation with them!

Procedure:
1. Talk to Puen located at “Snow Island – Cold Forest 2?

Puen:

I just heard someone say out loud that “the hero has returned!” Did I hear that wrong, or was it.. really what I just heard? So this… this person right here is the hero?! The hero is back for good!!

Oh this is unreal… I can’t believe I am staring right at the hero of Maple! It’s an honor!! Here, let me shake your hand… and if you can give me a hug… Hehe.. and can you please sign this? Ah, I’m so sorry. I was so happy to have finally met you that I guess I crossed the line. I need to take a deep breath. Ahhh… Okay, I feel better now. But um… can I… ask you for a favor? Please?

(QUEST ACCEPTED) I have my brother Puir right down the street, and he’s been dying to see you! I know you’re a bit busy, but can you please go stop by and say hello to Puir? Please…

Summary:
Puen told me it’s an honor to meet a real hero, and pleaded with me to say hello to his brother Puir, who’s eager to meet a hero up close and personal.

Procedure:
1. Talk to Puir located at “Snow Island – Cold Forest 2? (within the same map as Puen)

Puir:
Wait, so you are… no way… are you the hero that Lirin had been preaching to us all this time? Lirin! Don’t just nod like that! Tell me! Is this the hero you’ve been waiting for? I can’t believe that I’m with the hero!

…I’m sorry. I’m just overcome with emotions, that’s all. Sniff… buf really, this is monumental… my gosh, I’m tearing up again… Lirin, you must be really happy too.

(QUEST COMPLETED) I just notice that you’re not carrying any weapons. I heard that heroes carry their own set of weapons, and… , you must have lost it during the battle with the Black Wizard. I know this is really nothing compared to your weapon, but just carry this around for now. It’s a gift for you. I don’t like seeing a hero like you walking around without a weapon.

(REWARD: 1 Sword, 35 EXP)

(Even my skill was nothing like a hero’s… and this sword feels really awkward as well. Did I really use one in the past? How do I even carry one around?)

Procedure:
1. Press I to open Inventory Window.
2. Switch to Equip Category. Double Click Sword to equip.

Quest Available: [Required] The Weapon That Disappeared (For Legend) 1
Quest:
I should go talk to Purun, who’s standing on the way to town.

Procedure:
1. Talk to Purun located at “Snow Island – Cold Forest 3?

Purun:
hey, there, hero! What? How did I know that you’re the hero from the past? Well the three penguins before me were gushing about you so loud that I couldn’t help but hear. The whole island probably knows you’re here now.

Anyway, you don’t look so good. What’s wrong? What? You’re not sure if you’re the hero that we think you are? Did you… lose all your memories? No way… it must be one of the side effects of eing trapped in ice for hundred of years.

Ahh, maybe swinging around the sword may help bring back some memories, no? How about going around for some monster-hunting?

(QUEST ACCEPTED) There are some Tutorial Murus roaming around this island. Try taking on 3 of them. That might bring back some memories.

Ahh.. did you forget how to use skills? I suggest placing your skills on the quick slot for easy acccess. You can also place your consumeable items on that slot, so use them wisely.

Summary:
Purun told me it’s only fair that I didn’t know how to hold a weapon, since I lost memory of everything. He then said maybe encountering a monster might refresh some of my memories, and asked me to defeat Tutorial Muru. Hopefulluy I’ll win.

Procedure:
1. Defeat 3 Tutorial Muru in Snow Island Cold Forest 3.
2. Talk to Purun after completing the task.

Purun:
Judging from your facial expression, I don’t think you’re being reminded of anything… but don’t worry, things will work out. Here’s a potion for you. Good luck!

Quest Available: [Required] A Gift For the Hero (For Legend) 1
Quest:
I should go talk to Putzki, who’s standing on the way to town.

Procedure:
1. Talk to Putzki located in “Snow Island – Cold Forest 4?

Putzki:
Ahh.. the hero… I’ve always wanted to meet you. (Seems a bit shy) Um… I have this present that I wanted to give you for the longest time, in the event that I actually meet a hero like you. I understand that you’re busy on your way to town, but… would you please accept my present?

(QUEST ACCEPTED) The materials for the present is packed inside a box. I know this is a lot of work, but I want you to break the box and remove the Piece of Bambooo and Wood from it. I’ll take care of the rest.

I ugess my task is to break the box by swinging at it with regular attack, and bring back Piece of Bamboo and Wood in return.

1. Break the Box and pick up Piece of Bamboo and Wood.
2. Return to Putzki with the materials.

Putzki:
Oh, you brought everything! Now hold on one second while I assemble this…

(REWARD: 1 Bamboo Chair, 95 EXP)

Phew, here’s the chair! Event the most powerful hero like you needs rest every once a while, and I’ve always wanted to give you a sturdy chair you can rest on from time to time.

I do believe that even the most powerful heroes can’t stay strong forever. Heroes can get tired and weak too, just like us. The difference between the hero and the rest is that you guys can overcome the odds, right?

Quest Available: [Required] Lirin’s Story (over Level 5, For Legend) 1
Quest:
Now that I’m safely in town, I better hear Lirin’s story on what really went down, and why I was a hero in the first place.

Procedure:
1. Walk toward the next portal in Snow Island Cold Forest 5. Lirin will talk.

Lirin (Cold Field 5)
Just a little bit more, and you’ll reach the town. I’ll head over there first since I also have some things to take care of. There’s no need to rush, Aran. I’ll see you there.

Lirin (Rein Town)
You must be confused in more ways than one. It’s totally understandable, seeing that you had just recently woke up from inside the ice cave with no recollection of the past. Add that with me calling you a hero, and… I totally understand. I’m here now to explain to you in detail what exactly took place before you woke up.

A few hundred years ago… the whole world was under the grasp of the Black Wizard. With his evil powers, the Black Wizard was bringing the world of Maple closer and closer to total destruction, and he almost succeeded in doing just that.

Many people tried valiantly to prevent the Black Wizard from controlling their lives, to no avail. Soon, the whole world as on the verge of destruction, and that’s when a number of brave souls made a pivotal decision. They decided to take on the Black Wizard all by themselves, buying time for the rest to find refuge in places far from here.

No one knows the details of the battle, but these were the aftermaths. The Black Wizard was sealed up, while the heroes made the ultimate sacrifice and disappeared. With their efforts, the world of Maple finally has peace once again, and.. that was that. It didn’t take long for these people to forget about these heroes.

A lot of time had passed since the battle when a Book of Prediction appeared out of nowhere. According to the book, the Black Wizard that had lost all of his powers casted on final curse on the heroes, the curse eing that the heroes will lose all of their memories and abilities, and will be stuck frozen on ice for a few hundred years.

Everyone thought the book was a bunch of baloney, but one of the races thought otherwise, and began conducting research on the Book of Prediction. I am the last remaining successor of the race, and that’s why I’ve been waiting on the island, knowing that some day, the heroes will be reawakened.

And here you are, the very hero stated in the Book of Prediction, the one that helped save the world of Maple, only to be tragically forgotten by the Maplers over the years. And I am certain you’re the hero that will save us once more… do you get it?

(QUEST ACCEPTED) Are you sure you do? Because you look a bit dazed. Hmmm, okay then. I’m going to make sure that you did understand what I just told you, by giving you a pop quiz on it. Tell me when you’re ready.

Summary:
According to Lirin, a few hundred years ago, there was a group of heroes that valiantly fought against Black Wizard, who controlled the world of Maple, and apparently, I’m one of them. Because of the curse of Black Wizard, I had lost all of my memories and abilities, and was frozen on ice until being awakened recently.

Procedure:
1. Talk to Lirin to answer her quiz.

Lirin: Okay, here’s the pop quiz.

1st question. What was the name of the wizard that held the world of Maple in his evil hands?

- White Wizard
- Black Wizard (answer)
- Pale Wizard
- Brown Wizard

2nd Question: The heroes, yourself included, decided to take on the Black Wizard by themselves and bought time for the rest to find refuge somewhere afar. The result of this final battle was mentioned in the Book of Prediction. What was the result.

- Defeated the Black Wizard
- Made peace with the Black Wizard
- Sealed up the Black Wizard (answer)
- Became lovers with the Black Wizard

Here’s the last question: The world of Maple may look peaceful on the surface, but it’s really on the verge of chaos. That’s because rumor has it that the Black Wizard may resurrect sometime in the future. If that rumor turns out to be true, the Black Wizard will make sure that this time, the wolrd of Maple will not stand a chance. What should you do when this happens?

- Defeat the Black Wizard and save the world

I see that you paid attention to what I told you. You may have lostyour memory and abilities, but… you’re still a hero to all of us.

(REWARD: 140 EXP)

The Book of Prediction also stated that the heroes will one day reappear and defeat the Black Wizard once and for all. You will fight the Black Wizard again some day, with the fate of the whole world on your shoulder.

I am sure you were a bit caught off guard with all this talk. Let’s make this simple. Your job now is to trian harder to the point where you can soundly defeat the Black Wizard when he makes his inevitable resurrection. Isn’t that simple?

Quest Available: [Required] Basic Training 1 (For Legend) 1
Quest:
Lirin’s debriefing allowed me to sort of understand the gist of the history betwen the heroes and the Black Wizard. I have a feeling I may have to get myself prepared for the second showdown with the Wizard down the road. I better ask Lirin what I should do next.

Procedure:
1. Talk to Lirin to obtain your quest.

Lirin:
Okay, enough explaining. Let’s move on to the next stage. What’s the next stage, you ask? I just told you. Train as hard as you can until you reach that stage where youc an defeat the Black Wizard with a single blow.

You may have been a hero in the past, but we’re talking about a few hundred years ago. Even without the curse of the Black Wizard, you just spent hundred of years frozen in time, so it’s only true that your body is rigid to say the least. Let’s get your body warmed up first. How so you ask?

Everything has to do with fundamentals, and you know it. Yes, I’m going to put you through Basic Training. Oh yeah, you also lost all your memories, so you might nobe aware of it. Well, that’s okay. You’ll just have to experience it firsthand. Are you ready to tak eon the first set of training?

(QUEST ACCEPTED) The island is full of penguins, but you will encounter some monsters form time to time. When you head over to the right side of the town called Snow-covered Field 1, you’ll see a number of Murupas. I want you to defeat 10 Murupas. I’m sure you’ll have no trouble defeating the Murupas that get attacked by these slow penguins.

Summary:
Lirin told me since I have lost all of my abilities as well as my memory, I’ll have to do everythign I can to regain form. Before doing that, however, she suggested that I first warm up, seeing that I was frozen in ice for hundreds of yeras. The first level of basic training seems to be that of monster hunting. I better head over to Snow-covered Field 1 and start hunting.

Procedure:
1. Defeat 10 Murupas in Snow-covered Field 1
2. Return to Lirin after completing the task.

Lirin:
Were you able to defeat the Murupas? I mean, those monsters are the easiest ones you can find here, so easy that you can swing around blindfolded and still defeat them. A hero that’s slower than a penguin? That’s embarassing…

(REWARD: 15 Special Rein Red Potion, 15 Special Rein Blue Potion, 320 EXP)

That was a bit better than the penguins, but still not enough to take on a real training. Let’s quickly move on the next level. Talk to me when you’re ready.

Quest Available: [Required] Basic Training 2 (For Legend) 1
Quest:
Basic Training continues. If I want to start the second stage of Basic Training. I better go talk to Lirin.

Procedure:
1. Talk to Lirin to proceed with Basic Training 2.

Lirin:
Okay, shall we continue Basic Training? Are you ready for the second stage? Please check and make sure you have your sword equipped, and your potions and skills placed on the HotKeys. Once you’re ready, let me know.

(QUEST ACCEPTED) Okay, this time, you’ll be taking on a monster that’s slightly more powerful than Murupa, Murupia. Head over to Snow-covered Field 2 and defeat 15 of them. That should help you regain some stamina.

Summary:
Lirin expressed that this is the continuation of Basic Training, and that this time, I’ll have to head over to Snow-covered Field 2, and defeat some Murupia(s). Come to think of it, Lirin seems a lot different from when I first saw her, back when she had that mystical aura about her.

Procedure:
1. Head to Snow-covered Field 2 and defeat 15 Murupia(s)

Move from Rein Town (move to the furthest right portal) > Snow-covered Field 1 > Snow-covered Field. Use Three-Snails skill (add SP till it become max) Use it against Murupias for fast training. Use Three Snails at Murupia once, then slash it when its HP is little. This conserves MP (mana)

Lirin:
Oh, you were able to defeat all the Murupias like I asked you to do. You do look like you have gotten a bit stronger than before. Somewhere along the lines… of penguins flapping their wings?

(REWARD: 20 Special Rein Red Potion, 20 Special Rein Blue Potion, 450 EXP)

Train a bit more, and you may one day be strong enough to carry a penguin all by yourself. Now talk to me when you’re ready to move on to the next level.

Quest Available: [Required] Basic Training 3 (For Legend) 1
Quest:
Basic Training continues. If I want to start the third stage of Basic Training. I better go talk to Lirin.

Procedure:
1. Talk to Lirin to initiate Basic Training 3 Quest.

Lirin:
Well, you look like you’re warmed up a bit. This is when the training should really take off, and you know it. Let’s continue our Basic Training.

This time, let’s head over to Snow-covered Field 3 and defeat some Murumurus. Somewhere around… 20? That should really help you improve your stamina. Now go ahead and… wait, do you want to say something?

(…Don’t you think the number’s increasing by each stage?)

Yes, you’re right. Are you telling me 20 is not enough for you? Then shall we go with 100? No no no, now that we are TRAINING, how about we do something like 999, like someone from Sleepywood…?

(Well, on a second thought, 20 is fine.)

No no no, you don’t have to refuse the offer. I do understand your desire to return to your heroice form, I REALLY DO. Seriously, this is why you’re the hero and I’m not…

(QUEST ACCEPTED) (I pressed Accept, believing that if I listened any further, I might really have to go slay 999 of them…)

Alright, now please go ahead and slay 20 Murumurus.

Summary:
Lirin has raised the level of Basic Training and this time asked me to defeat Murumuru. This is getting more and more intense, so when I mentioned that to Lirin, I was greeted with a whole lot of nothing. Shoot, I better just head over to Snow-covered Field 3.

Procedure:
1. Head to Snow-covered Field 3 and defeat 20 Murumuru(s).
2. Return to Lirin once the task is completed.

Rien Town (go right) > Snow-covered Field 1 > Snow-covered Field 2 > Snow-covered Field 3

Lirin:
You were able to successfully defeat all the Murumurus. Were they enough for you to get some training done? I guess you’ll need to take on about… 300… of them?

(Oh heck no…)

…well that was wishful thinking. You look like your stamina has significantly improved already. I don’t think you’ll need to go through 300 of them now.

(REWARD: 25 Special Rein Red Potion, 25 Special Rein Blue Potion, 550 EXP)

Now I want you to go through a physical fitness test to see if you’re ready for more. Talk to me when you’re ready.

Quest Available: [Required] Physical Fitness Test (For Legend) 1
Quest:
I think I have gained some much-needed stamina through training. I better talk to Lirin and receive the physical fitness test for the final stage of Basic Training.

Procedure:
1. Talk to Lirin to initiate Physical Fitness Test.

Lirin:
Okay, now let’s have you go through a fitness test to see if you’re fit. It’s realy simple, though. All you need to do is take on the most powerful monster on this island, Murukun. Aobut 50 of them would suffice.

…but then again, wiping out the whole population of Murukun is never good for the environment, so I just want you to defeat 5 of them instead. You’re here to train, not to break down the eco-system!

(QUESET ACCEPTED) Murukun can be found in the deeper parts of the island. Head all the way left of town, and you’ll see Inside Dangerous Forest. Go in there and defeat 5 Murukuns.

Summary:
Lirin told me for the Physical Fitness Test, I’ll need to battle Murukun. This time, I better head over to the other side, the west side of town where Inside Dangerous Forest is. Fortunately, that doesn’t seem so hard.

Procedure:
1. Head to Inside Dangerous Forest and defeat 5 Murukun(s).
Rein Town (go left) > Snow Island – Inside Dangerous Forest ( 3 times )
Note: Go left portal 3 times all the way until you see the big monster Murukun.
Note: The 3 maps you visit will have the same name: Inside Dangerous Forest. Confusing.

Lirin:
I see that you have defeated all 5 Murukuns. Have you noticed how much stronger you have gotten since the first set of training? Well… now that you’re ready, let’s get on with the real training, and… wait!

(REWARD: 1200 EXP)

Come to think of it, I still have yet to ask you of your name. You are one of the five heroes, yes, but… who are you? Wait, oh yeah, you lost all of your memories…

Anyway, it’s time for you to begin the real training towards defeating Black Wizard, and it’s a must for us to know which one of the five heroes you are in order to program the training that caters your strengths. There’s no point of learning skills with weapons that do not fit your profile, and it will definitely not be enough to take on the Black Wizard. But really… who are you?

Quest Available: [Required] The Five Heroes (over Level 10 For Legend) 1
Quest:
In order to begin the real training, I may have to first figure out which of the five heroes was indeed myself, but I don’t remember anything… I better discuss this with Lirin.

Procedure
1. Talk to Lirin to find out about “The Five Heroes”

Lirin:
The records of the heroes that battled the Black Wizard is few and far between. They are almost impossible to find, actually. Even the Book of Prophecy only states that there were five heroes that battled the Black Wizard, with no clue whatsoever on their looks. Do you remember anything from that faithfuly day…? Like, how the heroes look like?

(No… nothing really.)

I see. I mean, the curse of the Black Wizard wouldn’t be so weak that you’d remember things by now, anyway. But that being said, now that we have established that you are one of the heroes from that era, there should be a point where the past will be brought up sometime… but because of the battle, you don’t have any armors or weapons with you, and … wait, the weapon!

(A weapon?)

Yeah, years ago, while digging up the ice in search of heroes, I cam across this incredible weapon. It looked like something a hero would use, so I placed it somewhere at the center of town. Didn’t you see it? Giant Pole Arm…

(Come to think of it, what was Giant Pole Arm doing in town… ?)

Yes, that was it. According to the records, the weapon recgonizes its rightful owner, and if you’re the hero that used Giant Pole Arm, then the weapon will react when you first lay your hands on it. Go ahead and click on Giant Pole Arm.

(QUEST COMPLETED) If Giant Pole Arm reacts, then you’ll be Aran, the hero that used Giant Pole Arm.

Quest Available: [Required] The Five Heroes (over Level 10 For Legend) 1
Quest:
Apparently, the hero’s weapon can recognize its owner in an instant, which means if I was indeed the hero that used pole arm, then the weapon would react the moment I touch the weapon. I better head over to town and click on Giant Pole Arm.

Procedure:
1. The Giant Pole Arm is located nearby Lirin on the left. Click the Giant Pole Arm.

Quest Available: [Required] New Beginning (over Level 10 For Aran) 1
Quest:
I just found out that I was the hero that used pole arm, and that got me remembering a number of skills, but it was but an instant. I better report this to Lirin

Procedure:
1. Report to Lirin about this matter.

Lirin:
You look like you’re remembering some things. Is that because the pole arm recognized you and all…? That means it’s 100% certain that you are Aran, the hero that used pole arm. Do you remember anything else? Things like the skills you used with the pole arm…

(I told her that I rememberd a number of skills.)

That’s not a lot, but it’s a progress. Our goal now is to have you return to your pre-frozen, heroice form. You may have lost all of your memories, but since you have gone through it before, I am sure it won’t take long for you to recover the abilities that your body remembers.

(How do I do that… ?)

There’s only one way to find out. Train, train, and train some more! Keep training, and one day, your body will instinctively remember some of the things your body used to do hundred of years ago. To do that, I have a combat instructor that I’d like for you to meet.

(QUEST ACCEPTED) I thought it might be better for you to train with a weapon you’re accustomed to using, so I am giving you a pole arm. It should really help you on your training. Head left of town, and you’ll see a small training ground. There, you’ll meet your combat instructor Puo. I am a bit worried, since he’s going through bouts of Alzheimer’s but he had spend a long time for this moment, to remind a hero like you of your old skills, so I bet receiving some help from him will only make you better.

Summary:
Lirin seemed amazed that I was able to recover that many abilities, and urged me to start training hardcore. She then recommended me seeing Puo the Penguin Master, an old penguin that studied the intricacies of hero’s skills. He can be found west of town at Inside Dangerous Forest.

Procedure:
1. Head to Inside Dangerous Forest and talk to Puo Instructor Penguin.
Rein Town (Go Left) > Inside Dangerous Forest > Inside Dangerous Forest.

Puo:
Hohoho… welcome. It’s great to finally meet the true hero of Maple… Aran! Now, how did I know you were an Aran? Simple. A master like me should be able to figure out the level of competition simply by observing their posture and aura! Also, isn’t that a pole arm on your right hand? See, I’m definitely an observer!

(REWARD: 100 EXP)

Quest Available: [Skill] Keep Training (over Level 10 For Aran) 2
Location:
NPC Involved: Puo
Quest:
He doesn’t instill me any confidence, but I should still receive some training from Puo.

Procedure:
1. Talk to Puo for Training. He is located at Inside Dangerous Forest

Puo:
I have been studying the records of the heroes of Rien, and I focused particularly on the skills. I made sure not to leave anything out when studying the skills. In the end, I came to conclusion that when the heroes were still beginners, they trained by battling against Slime!

Slime! It’s that devastating, transparent monster that consists of sticky liquid! I truly believe piercing that body with that pole arm is a difficult task, akin to trying to break a pierce of egg with rocks. Wait, was it the other way around?

Hmmm, hmm! Anyway, I do believe is pivotal to your training towards regaining your form as a hero! Eliminating Slime will do wonders for you! Now go ahead and take on 30 Slimes!

(QUEST ACCEPTED) Rien might be too cold for Slime to live in, but do not worry! This is why I’ve been raising a bunch of Slime for Trainings nearby! Now, go ahead and take the portal here that leads to the training ground, where Slime for training will await you! Seriously no one can match me in my ability to anticipate the future!

(REWARD: 30 Special Rein Red Potion, 30 Special Rein Blue Potion, 1400 EXP)
