Quests

From the MapleStory Classic Wiki, mirrored inside MPStorys

Quest-bulb icon  Quests are tasks that NPCs hand out, and they pay experience, mesos, items and sometimes fame. This page picks out where to start, each questline from its first quest, and the quests that pay the most EXP at your level. The full list has every quest in one sortable table.

How quests work

A quest opens once you meet its requirements: a level, sometimes a job, and on many quests an earlier quest finished first. Most are turned in to the NPC who gave them, and the rest to someone else. Each quest's page lists who starts it, who takes it back, what it asks for and what it pays.

Start here

A new character starts on Maple Island, and its quests teach the basics on the way to Victoria Island.

Questlines

A questline is a run of quests where finishing one opens the next. Each row links to the line's first quest, and its rewards are those of every quest in the line together. Every quest's page shows its whole line in order. The citizenship questlines are on Citizenship, and the 2nd job quests under Job advancement.
