Which Class Should YOU Play (and on which server!)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ก.ค. 2024
- This is the first of 6 episodes of an ongoing "Ultimate Guide" series where I share all there is to know about the game we love, starting with this first episode where we cover which server you should play on, and the classes there are available. We delve into each class' strengths and weaknesses, and provide recommendations for players looking to try out specific classes.
In short,
• If you're looking for a good time not a long time, go for Night Lords or Corsairs.
• If you're have plans to proceed into end game but want the game to prove itself to you first, go for Bishops, Nightlords, Buccaneers, or any of the 2 Archers.
• If you're looking for an overall well-rounded starter character, go for any of the magicians or warriors.
• If you're looking to min-max right off the bat, a Bishop will be your best bet.

Waiting for Nexon to drop a classic server for maplestory !
Rumoured to be end of this year 🔥✌🏼
If they did, I’d come back to the game immediately, but just don’t think it’ll ever happen. They shut down any talk about opening up a legacy server immediately in the forums. But since they’re diverging from KMS, who knows what’ll happen in the future.
@@tranquility2745 I’ve realized their company likes to avoid answering any type of questions regarding their future until the very last second. Exactly what they did with the meso reboot nerf , dropped the bomb that they are going a different direction than kms after extending the talks of the roadmap making everyone mad lol. But who knows
@@KuisineMS where did you hear about this?
Even if nexon released a classic server it would be filled with expensive microtransactions, payable cosmetics, hackers, and pay2win content somehow they have to make money to manage the server.
waiting for that second video. nicely done
aight you convinced me im coming back to play again.
Been convinced to start
cant wait to get back into this game tonight. relive the game that had me near failing classes in highschool
I failed courses playing this game
Please continue!
i was so addicted love old school maple hope they bring that back
I think if you're going to encourage people to play Legends, you have to talk about the meta of mid-late game (in reality it does not take that long to hit mid-game, and once you hit end game, it becomes a bulk of your play time). You're going to run into issues if you main a NL or BM first, and the game really is multi-client story (meaning the game favors making a ton of mules to self-buff whenever possible, HS, HB, SI/SE, etc).
You could make the argument that "oh you only need to do that if you want to"... but ask how many people don't use buff mules, mage mules, etc lol.
It's just a rough difference in playstyles; a ton of old players don't want to/have the time to commit to making 3-6+ mules and grinding each one of them, as well as considering HP washing. Yes, there's the challenges, but those take just as ungodly amounts of time.
If you main bishop first, as you mentioned in the video, you'll end up likely selling leech early on to both level yourself and to grind, if this is a route you choose (even worse on a mage), you'll prob want HB, SI as a luxury (but is a lot more competitive for selling).
If you main NL first, you're going to hit a brick wall without reliable SE.
ofc not every class is like this, but the deeper you sink into this game, the more you'll realize how optimal this is
It's something that all players will eventually run to and it's a commonly complained about/talked about facet of the game for a reason: as nice as the nostalgia is, this aspect of the game definitely isn't for everyone.
edit: Also; ML launched in 2015. Had to note that because I was a 2017 player and by my time, only a handful of players were 200, and HT was end game.
What class would you recommend for starting out completely new?
I’m looking for servers without any of these, I see that there are some with no hp washing, no leeching, no multiclienting, different balancing as well.
Yall still in yalls 20s??? I’m 34 fuuuuck 😅
30 here XD
Hearing him say 20s being 31 hurt a little 😂
Was thinkin' the same, hahah, 31 here
Hey I loved the video. I was wondering if you’d be able to make a video about every class’ job advancement / skills. I’m struggeling to find my perfect class because I just don’t know what different skills all the classes have.
Huge part of me to have fun with the class is the progression journey. For example the late game skills of a paladin / bishop look amazing and fun to use since its aoe damage. But if this is only available at level 120 and takes me hours upon hours to reach, I wouldn’t have as much fun along the way.
So would you be able to make a skill showcase of every advancement of every class? Might take some time but I think a lot of people would like to have it!
Have you played Royals? I played Legends a ton during covid era, then royals more recently in the past year +. Honestly? The migration from Legends to Royals has been very clear. There is literally nothing left in legends for early-mid game. The progression to late game has gotten worse and worse, prompting so many hardcore players I knew such as my cousin and his guild to leave the game with no intentions to return. To say that Royals is P2W and Legends is not is kinda nonsense tbh, both have RMT issues, and that is that. An acquaintance of mine bought his full set of EQ in 2020 Legends and hasn't been banned till now, go figure. The power gap in Legends is as wide, if not wider than Royals, which is why so many people I know just end up hopping servers. The "less social thing" is also kinda a dud, especially with the dwindling Legends population. Royals is an extremely social server, even more than Legends from my experience. There is a ton of end game content to do together with randoms, and also APQ. TLDR; if you wanna say something, don't speculate, back it up with facts, if not, don't talk about it at all.
Yeah I was wondering what he meant by royals is p2w. iirc from when I played, the ban appeals forums had lots of people who got banned for receiving too powerful an item without paying enough for it. Pretty shitty actually, I hate mods.
Royals doesn't feel like the maplestory I played in '08. Just leveling to ~15 I saw the mesos were like 4x, drops felt way higher too think I saw every item on the slime drop table. Exp rate is even higher than legends, had a custom title that gave me like 100 extra hp and mana as a beginner, remote quest turning in and accepting. It felt like a private server. I think it's a legitimate choice for anyone who is looking to experience the content faster and smoother, but I think a big part of classic maple is the struggle.
I agree that implying it has more RMT/P2W is probably disingenuous, and it clearly has more players which is a big appeal.
@@Dewp Inflation makes up for the 4x mesos and higher item drops. Maple in 08’ was nostalgic, but the gaming experience wasn’t great. I think the exp rate makes reliving nostalgia doable especially with the age group of most maplers nowadays who want to just reminisce the old times.
I would say log 100 hours of playtime in private servers and you’ll understand more or less why 08’ maple might not work as it was todayz
Small note for marksman, Snipe cooldown is 5 seconds once the skill is maxed, not 7 seconds!
Ah oops got it - thank you! (It was 7 strafes not 7 seconds)
Hi can I know where is the hp wash video? 😊
Waiting for part 2
Coming back to play, tried a long time ago and did not get far (lvl 30ish), is there still slot to join your guild? Starting a new account as a archer :)
yep there is! whisper ign "scotterpop", "neilio", or "hambeef" in game :)
This is epic.
Thank you my man
did not know that world famous pokemon master jimothycool is a maplestory fan.
very cool.
Im really enjoying Dream MS on V92. It has low rates and custom content to avoid HP washing
Here's a few reactions based on the information...
Shadowers are great class to start with. They have a lot of versatility. Including strong presence in the bossing meta thanks to smokescreen, some really unique grinding options in 3rd job thanks to meso explosion, and are very good farmers as well.
Mages, contrary to popular belief, are not an expensive class. For the most part, mages are a lot less gear reliant than their attacker counterparts. This is especially true in the higher levels when attackers start buying attack gloves and capes.
You should mention the role of 'cleave' vs. 'single target'. It's an important aspect of the warrior classes vs. classes like the night lord.
Let me know if I can help with recording footage. I'd love to see more gameplay in these videos, and less trading/chat in the FM.
What’s cleave?
@@kdawgstacks "Cleave" is the term used for attackers than can hit multiple targets at once. For example, Night Lords are almost exclusively single target damage dealers. However, classes like Dragon Knights can accel when there's 3 things they can hit at the same time.
@@krythan_xd ty!!
Phoenix is my favorite cuz of no hp washing and no 4th job
why is ulu in a v62 nostalgic server???? it released in v92
If not adding LUK to magician, how do i get LUK for equips?
Typically dont invest LUK for mages in legends. Majority of items do not require LUK.
for mages, if I don't put any points into luk, what equips do I end up using? (if i'm not funded)
You would use low level equipment and armors, and for weapons: wooden wand > green paint brush > maple staff > maple lama/nocturne staff > elemental wand lv70 > elemental wand lv130
@@KuisineMS sweet! Thanks for the info. Do you know when the next event will be where we can get maple weapons?
Mid May is when it usually happens. I can help you out on gear if you wanna start!
I'd appreciate that!
My ign is JahnWick
I'm a huge fan of Dark Knights and Shadowers. Marksmen are great as well but I just find the Mage classes to be boring personally. I/L just sit in one spot pressing a button, Clerics stand in one place pressing a couple buttons, and F/P are alright but you may as well just play an Assassin at that point.
DK's have useful buffs, good range, high armor, and solid damage. Shadowers have great damage, great skills, excellent avoidability, and are interesting. Marksmen (bow or crossbow) have great range and are good for players who just like to line em' up and knock em' down and are very afk and noob friendly with balanced damage and armor.
How's royals p2w? You just feel like they catch people RMTing less frequently?
Same thing really.
the thing that ruins both royals and legends for me is hp washing
i just wanna play a sin but i can't because i don't have infinite money
Just vote on 12 different account with a vpn 😂
Theres hp quest in royals washing is optional
The MapleRoyals website says you are able to get HP from certain quests reducing the need for HP washing, is this actually a viable alternative or not really? I started playing on legends hit 40 on a cleric but hate the whole you need 200days of voting for HP washing... Im having a hard time deciding what server to commit to
MapleLegends is implementing something similar, currently only the first 2 parts are out, so it's a work in progress. It will be a viable alternative for what would be considered the minimum washing you'd want. If you want to min-max it then actually washing will be superior. I can't speak to Royals implementation.
Cleric is very easy to wash though so I wouldn't stress it too much. If you vote every day then by the time it matters you should have more than enough NX.
Washing your BS on Royals will be hard still. But a few classes are very good to play without any washing due to the HP quests on Royals.
Royals>Legends
omg its mehkju
The myth the legend
Let's not get things twisted here, you are noting that you can "Pay to win" in Royals simply due to RMT, this is NOT a Royals only problem, and as someone that has played on BOTH servers, and multiple others, I can testify (as with alot of other players) that RMT is also a thing in Legends.
It's an unfair statement to say that you can pay to win on Royals simply as RMT is prevalent, it is STILL strictly forbidden, and I think the notion that "Royals does not hold this rule as strictly" is blatantly false, Royals has nearly 1.6-1.7x more players than Legends, it's simply HARDER to keep track of RMT with more players.
RMT is PRESENT in Legends, if anything, the slower pacing makes it even MORE prevalent than anything. RMT will always be a big thing in OS-MS due to LEECHING being the primary source of XP and the gateway to endgame.
BOTH SERVERS forbid RMT,, and there are often ban waves being made almost monthly on both servers, and pretty much any maplestory server, or MMO in general.
I enjoy both servers, but let's not create false pretenses just to create server bias.
Royals is good for people who want to enjoy PRE-BB with a much larger community and those who are interested in min-maxing their characters
Legends is good for people who want a more laid back approach to leveling, and enjoy doing PQ's and quests for XP. The slower pace makes it much easier to find a static group to play with.
not for long kid legends taking over
@@misair0 did you even read a single word in that post or are you actually just so brain rotten from leeching that you can't comprehend simple sentences anymore?
@@Saeyayayayayayajust a comment bro 😂 happy mapling
I can’t afford pots 😂😂
Use your vote cash to buy from a premium gachapon and sell the high level gear or scrolls. I made 2.5mil just selling a single scroll which funded my potions until level 60.
I really want to play this, but hp washing is keeping me from playing. I hate it so much.
It's only a 2x rate server and bossing is level 150+, I've played on the server for a few months now and only have a level 38 Xbowman and a level 26 Thief. I just vote 2x a day and rack up cash shop points and within a good 2 months I should have enough to wash a character.
you bring shame to my luk mage
Nice oddjob make sure to apply for the guild through forums
@@KuisineMS 💀💀
k-k-k-k-kuisine
Maple royal is the best private server ! I played a lot of private server and royal feels the best
leeching is what kills it for me
While it’s what the meta revolves around, it’s not necessary to play the game!
@@KuisineMSbut if most players just leech instead of playing the game, there will be no grinding party or pq
yo imma make a sin
Aight bet
Guide would be more credible if you didn't shit on royals from the start.
We're in this together.
Not against each other, smh.
He kind of made it sound better other than lying about p2w being allowed
BOYS DON'T GET TRAPPED! use this as a guide for MapleRoyals, the BETTER private server :)))
😂 Appreciate you at least vouching for the guide material
if thats the kind of answer someone that plays the Royals server will deliver then im not sure if it is indeed the better server here. but judging the server from a single player isnt fair either i guess
Both legends and royals is doodoo, the leeching meta and washing ruined old school maple. Once you go 3rd job server, you never go back just saying.
@2:20 saddens me seeing all these maplelegends and royals videos popping up in my feed how to do leech at skeles or gupis - good memories but leaching is so LAME!
Once i can get my virus protection software to accept maplelegends im going to just make 1 class and yolo it F bishop 😂
Yea you dont need bishop to play the game! Everything and anything is enjoyable. Cant wait for you to come join in on the fun 😊
Just don't leech, I haven't leeched in over 2 months of playing and yeah, my characters are low level (34 xbowman and 26 thief) but it's fun to just vote twice on the site, log on, grind some mobs on a map for an hour and then log off knowing you at least got 10-20% xp and are having fun and making progress.
Never been into having others play my game for me, powerlevelling, leeching, and multiboxing just ruins the game.
Play beginner or nothing
Why do you state that MapleLegends lanched in 2017? Its from 2015. Also royals is v83. Also royals holds rwt just as strictly as legends. You claim royals is pay2win is absured and flat out false info. Dont tell people they can spend irl money on royals cause its not true. Other then all those lies, good video
Say that to my

my boy sae should make his own mapleroyals guide he got a lot to say
@@misair0 Maybe instead of focusing so much about "royals" you read this message a 3rd time where I explicitly say that both servers are good and it's up to preference. Are you so pathetic that you have to resort to tribalism and just be aggressive towards anyone saying anything remotely negative about Legends?
How much they paying you to suck this much d*ck brutha?
Are maple legends mods extremely politically correct like royals mods? or do they realize there's a block button for a reason
Not extremely, as long as you dont harass directly you’ll be fine
SCANIAMS FTW LEGENDS SUCKS
I would love to play this but I'm scared Nexon will close it one day and RiP all my progress
It’s been up since 2017 so hopefully we get another 7 years 😇
Better than playing current GMS lmao
its up since 2015 actually. and so what? didnt you lose all your progress on original one? it already was some pay to win shit full of hackers back then now its just a tiktoker game that you dont want to play
i see this alot with people who have no real reason not to play private servers.
enjoy it while it lasts.
old school maple didn't even last 9 years.
I understand but you’re fine really. I play royals and it’s been around over 10 years! It isn’t going anywhere tbh, and even if it does you still got to enjoy the game :)
