MPStorysMAPLESTORY SERIES HUB

NPCs

From the MapleStory Classic Wiki, mirrored inside MPStorys

NPCs are the characters standing in the world. They run the shops, hand out quests, advance jobs, drive the cabs, keep the storage chest, and anchor the story of each town. This page is the hub for finding any of them.

The four job instructors and Shanks the boat captain
The four job instructors, and Shanks, who sails you off Maple Island.

What they do

Shopkeepers buy and sell gear and supplies. Job instructors advance a character into a first job at level 10 and a second at 30. Quest givers hand out the tasks that pay experience, mesos, items and fame. Cab drivers and ticketing ushers run the paid travel between towns and continents. Storage keepers hold the account-wide chest. Crafting stations are the benches the six professions work at. Plenty of NPCs do several of these at once, and plenty do none of them and simply have something to say.
