• In hindsight, behind every tragedy is possibility. Perhaps the pilot pricing isn’t so bad because the change is going to force people who’ve become accustomed to their old ways into thinking of new and different solutions to the same question. Not to mention that people are willing to pay the higher premium if you’re selling certainty in an uncertain world.  I’ve got a headache so I’ll keep this slightly dusto-style.

  This is a quick mini-guide to Maple Story.
  
  !!! TIP – It is important to know which stats to increase. Otherwise, you
  may find that you don’t have the required statistics to wear your armour or
  weapons in the HIGHER LEVELS. I made this mistake and wasn’t able to wear
  my proper armour at level 20 because I didn’t have enough STR as a Warrior.
  And at level 30 I didn’t have enough LUK as a Bandit to wear my dagger.
  
  
  Which Stats For Job Advancement?
  —————————-
  Warrior         level 10 | 35 STR
  Thief             level 10 | 25 DEX
  Bowman       level 10 | 25 DEX
  Magician      level  8 | 20 INT
  
  
  Which Stats For Later?
  —————————-
  Warrior           STR and DEX (more STR)
  Thief                LUK and DEX (more LUK) **
  Bowman          DEX and STR (much more DEX)
  Magician         INT and LUK (much more INT)
  
  Each job only needs to apply Ability Points (AP) to only two types of
  Abilities as shown above. For example, if you are a Warrior, don’t place
  any AP into LUK or INT.
  
  Magicians, if you keep missing monsters, do not put any AP into DEX,put
  it into INT to increase your accuracy.
  
  ** Thieves do not need strength, unless they are STR Bandits. LUK Bandits
  use daggers that require no STR, while STR Bandits use daggers that require
  a small amount of STR. If you are unsure, you can put 10 points into STR by
  level 20 and see if you like being a STR Bandit.
  
  AP can also be used to increase HP and MP. I suggest not doing this. HP and
  MP will increase with every level-up without you adding AP to it.
  
  
  Rolling The Stats Die
  —————————-
  !!! TIP – Before creating your character, make sure it has good stats. If
  it hasn’t got stats that you are pleased with, you can click on the red die
  to get new stats.
  
  Good stats would have 4 or 5 in the abilities that your job doesn’t need.
  But if you can’t get good stats, it’s OK. But since you can roll the die as
  many times as you like, you may as well try a few times.
