Henesys is the hometown of the Bowman job branch, located on the southwest edge of Victoria Island. It is the town most beginners on Victoria Island encounter first after arriving from Lith Harbor, and serves as the staging point for the surrounding low-level hunting grounds.
Henesys and Perion are the only towns with portals to the Free Market. The Henesys portal is in Henesys Market. The beach resort at Florina Beach is reached by a short ferry hop. For many players, the bright pastels of the central plaza and the giant oak at the north end add up to the most-recognized image of classic-era MapleStory.
Overview
The town's centerpiece is a large oak tree at the north end, where the Bowman job instructor lives. The plaza around the oak is the most common spot for parties to form before heading out into the surrounding hunting maps.
The lands around Henesys are entirely hunting grounds, populated by Snail, Blue Snail, Red Snail, Pig, Ribbon Pig, Orange Mushroom, Green Mushroom, and Horny Mushroom. The western portal opens into the hunting grounds and continues on to Lith Harbor and Kerning City. The eastern portal leads into the pig training grounds and continues in that direction all the way to Ellinia. The northeast portal opens the road to Sleepywood.
