Guides are step-by-step articles that explain how to do something in MapleStory Classic World: how to level a class, where to train at your level, how to earn mesos, how to clear a quest line, or how to take down a boss. Where an entity page describes a thing, a guide describes a path. This page lists every guide on the wiki and is the starting point for writing a new one.

How guides work here
MapleClassic Wiki keeps one guide per topic. A guide is not a signed column competing with rival write-ups for attention; it is a regular wiki page that anyone can improve, exactly like an entity page. If a guide already covers your topic and you know a better route, edit that guide. When two approaches genuinely differ (funded versus unfunded leveling, for example), they belong as sections of the same guide, not as separate pages. Disagreements about the best approach are settled on the guide's talk page.
Every guide opens with a guide infobox stating its type, class focus, level range, difficulty, and the game version it was last verified against. The infobox is what fills in the tables on this page automatically, and it lets editors find stale guides after a patch.
Leveling
Where to train, bracket by bracket, for every class.
Class builds
One guide per class: stats, the first-job skill chains, and the second-job decision.
Gear progression
The most efficient equipment ladder for each class, with shop prices, drop sources, and crafting routes.

Guide types
Every guide declares a type in its infobox, and the wiki categorizes it automatically. Pick the closest match when writing:
- Leveling
- A route through a level bracket: where to train, what to bring, when to move on.
- Money making
- A repeatable method for earning mesos, with honest numbers for cost and yield.
- Progression
- Milestones for a stage of the game, such as gearing a fresh character toward the second job advancement.
- Party quest
- How to run a party quest: requirements, roles, stages, and rewards.
- Boss
- Strategy for a single boss fight. These usually live as a Strategies subpage of the boss's own article.
- Crafting
- How to gather materials for and produce craftable items.
- Quest
- A walkthrough for a quest or quest line. Walkthroughs for a single quest live as Quick guide subpages of the quest article; see Category:Quest quick guides for the existing ones.
- Class build
- Skill build and stat advice for one class.
- Event
- How a limited-time event works and what to prioritize while it runs.
- Other
- Anything that does not fit the above.
