Once you have created your character you will find yourself in a map. Customize
your controls the way you think is right for you, and continue. There are some
quests you can do on the way to the Training Grounds. Personally I find these a
waste of time. You could spend 2 minutes clicking back and forth between NCPs
(Non-Player-Characters) or you could kill a Snail (which takes 5 seconds), and
get the same reward. The only quest you may want to complete is Roger’s,
because the reward is a much needed 3 Red Potions. Press the UP arrow to go
through portals. From levels 1-7 you will be staying at Snail Hunting Ground I
to train on Green Snails. Other snails take too many hits, because your raw
damage is only 1-3 now. When you’re level 7 and about 50%, travel to Amherst.
Complete all the quests you can and you should level to 8. You are now ready
to leave Maple Island. Travel to Southperry and pay the 150 meso fine to travel
to Victoria Island. A little reminder that your LUK should be 11, and that your
INT should be at least 20. If you followed the Ability Points Allocation
section, your INT should be well above that.
