Features
Progressive Exp
 In StoryMS the EXP rates are progressive. This means
your EXP rates will raise as you level; gradually gaining
more experience as you progress. Keep in mind, past
Lvl. 200 and up until 250, your rates will start lowering
to 50x. You can always check your current rates by
typing @rates in game.
Bonus Stats - Ability Points into Main Stat
Only!
 StoryMS has gameplay mechanics from modern
versions which allows players to get bonus stats for
higher DPS!

Account Linked Stats Bonus Medal

 This medal is automatically given and equipped to
every character in every account that holds more than
1 character (If you only have 1 character, you don’t have
any link character bonus since there is no other
character within the account). It’s not droppable,
tradeable, or un-equippable.
 For every 10 levels of a unique job branch (19 unique
classes listed below) within the same account, this
medal gains 0.5% all stat bonus.
 Tip! If you purchase Maple B from the Cash Shop you
can create a Level 30 Explorer!

 Maple B only works for Explorers.

 There is an option to add points into skills for
HP/MP gains (for Warriors/Mages)
 You won’t get link bonus until you 2nd job
advance (Level 30
Warrior/Thief/Bowman/Pirate/Mage is not
considered to be a unique class if you already
have 1 character of those classes)

Check your Bonus by typing @bonus in game!

 19 Unique Classes for Link Bonus
Every job can be leveled up to Level 255 (Total Links: 4845)
Beginner:

You’ll notice your account can only hold up to 15 characters
in Scania. However, in StoryMS the second you buy your
16th character slot, a new world will appear (Bera). Don’t
worry, both Scania and Bera share the same channels,
storage, NX storage, NX cash.
All jobs share the same NX storage. You no longer
need separate NX for your Aran & Cygnuses!
Including Pets!
Monster Card Bonus
1. For every 10 Monster Cards you collect, you will gain +1
all stats. Note that you can only collect a total
of 5 cards per monster/boss.
2. Every monster card that drops in StoryMS counts as 2,
making it easier to farm them! (Technically only need to
loot 3 cards per monster/boss)
3. You can check your progress by typing @bonus in-
game or opening your monster book ( Default Key: ‘B’ )

Quest Bonus
 For every 10 quests you complete, you will gain +1 all
stats.
 You can check your progress by typing @bonus in-
game.
 Note some quests may be bugged. Try
relogging/forfeiting if your quest is bugged. If this does
not resolve it, contact a GM.

Your Bonus Stats in @bonus will update

once you relog.
These sweet bonuses in stats makes it so you don’t need to
add secondary stats on any characters!
Put Ability Points into MAIN STAT ONLY!

As you guys see, I put 0 points into Dex on my Aran but still have 1991
Dex!

Item Leveling
 Every equippable item in StoryMS can be leveled to Lv
7, gaining random stats per level.
 The more base stats it has, the better stats you get
from leveling it. ALWAYS SCROLL FIRST!
 Legendary Scrolls will allow items to be leveled to Lv
10.

 1 Legendary Scroll per Item Level.

HP Washing Optional
  In StoryMS Max HP increase per level is multiplied by
1.5x for all classes!
 Warriors (Explorers) will reach 30k HP without wash.
 Arans will reach close to 30k HP without wash (29.5k HP)

White Scrolls & Chaos Scrolls

 Every monster in StoryMS has a 1/777 chance to drop
either WS or CS.
 With 1/777 WS drop rate, you can now 10% scroll your
end game gear and level it to be perfect! All you need
to do is farm!

Unwelcome Guest & VIP Weapons

Remember back in the day when aliens invaded GMS?
Scratch the part where you had to PQ in a cube to get these
items! You can craft your Unwelcome Guest weapons
and upgrade them using the maker skill. Recipes are easy
except for the VIP one.
VIP weapons in StoryMS are custom. All warrior VIP weapons
have been edited to have faster attack speed rather than
‘slow’. They also require 100 fame to equip.
Here’s a guide to Quests for Fame
StoryMS Quests for Fame
No Magic Damage Cap

Unlike other servers, magic damage does not have a limit in

StoryMS. Mages here are very strong towards late gaming,
making them essential for certain bosses and mob training.
A full linked stat mage can kill zakum’s arms & horntail body

within minutes. Mage mains welcome!

Blizzard / Meteor can hit 12m lines!
No Speed Cap

For all you speed demons! StoryMS does not have a speed
cap! It’s quite crazy how fast you can get with a lot of speed
equipment! Stack your speed items and become the fastest
in StoryMS!
Over 2000 post V83 NX items!
Check the Cash Shop in game! You will see thousands of NX
choices including ones from newer maplestory versions!

Look at those pets! They’re super cuties

Plenty of Non-Donor NX equips too! Don’t worry!
Instant Boat Ride
 For all you non-donors!
All boat rides in StoryMS have the option to instant travel.
You still need tickets though!
Unique Voting System

Every vote will give your StoryMS account 8,000 NX to spend

in the cash shop! If you vote again within 24 hours, you will
earn another 8,000 NX + 200 NX bonus! You can repeat this
voting streak in a row up to 10,000 NX.
You can vote on our website or click StoryMS Voting
Make sure you enter your USERNAME not character name
for when you try to vote.
You do not need to be logged into our website to vote.

EXP Distribution & Leeching

EXP distribution is similar to how it was in GMS v83.
If you are less than or higher than 5 levels under the mob:
you will get EXP.
If you are more than 5 levels under the mob, but can deal 1
damage to the mob: you will get EXP.
 Keep in mind low level leech is not viable/too slow in
StoryMS. The best way to leech is through boss runs such
as Zakum & Horntail. You can start leeching Normal Zakum
at level 50 as long as you can hit the arms for 1 damage.

Marriage

StoryMS has working marriage for all its wedding tickets!

Custom drops at bonus map and a chance to obtain
Naricain’s Demon Elixir & Onyx Apples in bundles of 10 for
the Bride & Groom upon opening their chests!

in Amoria’s shop all the way to the left) before you start the
wedding!
**Make sure UNEQUIP ALL NX ITEMS before/during the
wedding. This includes NX rings, Face accessory, any item
 purchased from the Cash Shop. NX items will cause your
wedding to bug.
***Make sure to submit your vows before the timer runs out!
If you don’t you wont be married!!

Donating

depending on the amount donated, and a VIP tag for your
Discord name in our Discord server!
Donor Commands
 All commands can be checked by

Some boss maps don’t have map ownership.

Advanced Secret Crystal (ASC)

Super Pretty - Super Expensive

The Advanced Secret Crystal deserves its own section! This
beautiful looking crystal is used to craft VIP weapons &
Tinkerer’s Blue Belt. ASC is a boss drop and is crucial for
end game!

Castellan Toad: 1/400
Horntail: 1/200
 Chaos Horntail: 1/40
Pink Bean: 1/5
Chaos Pink Bean: 1/2

Boss Expeditions
Bossing is key when playing nostalgic private servers.
StoryMS expedition system allows you to re-enter if you DC
or die as long as someone is still inside the expedition;
otherwise the expedition will end. This option is open for
 everyone in the party EXCEPT the expedition leader. You
can always use a mule to lead an expedition as this will
guarantee your expedition to be alive.

Balrog (Lv 50 - 255)

This is technically a ‘PQ’ but it is still a boss! Rewards include

Lv 58 Bain Weapons with balrog effect, Balrog’s version of
weapons like Hellslayer, Kage, and Balrog Shoes. It also
drops Balrog scrolls that you can use on your Balrog shoes!
Inside Balrog’s cave, you can kill its summons: Jr. Balrog &
Crimson Balrog. These two drop stacks of 1-3 10% scrolls
such as bows, one handed sword, OA dex, and others.
It also has a 50% chance of dropping CS per run!
*Keep in mind Balrog PQ only allows skills up to 2nd job!

Unless you’re an Aran (can use full swing)

INT/LUK hat and some skill book lv 10 for 4th job (ACA, AR,
TT, AC)
Zakum (Lv 50-255)

oh god
 Good old nostalgic Zakum. This expedition requires you to
do Zakum Pre Quest (3 stages).
First, go to El Nath and speak with your 3rd Job Instructor
and get permission for Zakum. Then @goto zakum (VIP) and
speak with Adobis.
Stage 1: Zakum PQ

Press for Bigger Picture

In StoryMS all keys required in Stage 1 are fixed. This means
every run, they will be in the same location! Once you gather
all the keys (7 keys), drop them on top of the big chest. It will
give you an item. Now walk back and let your party leader
talk to the NPC to receive your reward!
 Stage 2: Zakum Jump Quest (Part 1 & 2)
The good old Zakum Jump Quest..
Once you complete both parts, you will receive your reward!

Stage 3: 30 Golden Zombie Tooth

Trust me, this part isn’t too bad. Go to El Nath: Dead Mine II
and kill Miner Zombies! They drop them often so don’t
worry!
After collecting 30 teeth, go back to the NPC at Zakum and
turn in your quest!

Congrats! You’re ready for Zakum!

Zakum drops the classic Zakum Helmet, this item is one-of-
a-kind meaning you can only carry one on yourself. It also
drops skill books Lv 10 (TT, ACA, AC, AR, Final Blow, Combo
Tempest, High Defense, Combo Barrier) and mastery books
Lv 20 and 30. EXP is good here but you’d need to deal at
least 1 damage to the arms and bodies to get EXP from it
unless you are Lv 135 + to leech from it.
Horntail (Lv 100 - 255)

To enter Horntail’s Cave you need to do prequests.

However! If you are a donor (VIP) you can bypass the
prequests by doing @goto horntail.
Rewards Include:
Horntail’s Pendant
Horntail’s Egg
ASC (1/200 Drop Rate)
Mastery Books 20 / 30
Tons of Weapons
In order for you to use the Horntail’s Egg to scroll the
Pendant, you need to do a prequest. Other servers only
allow you to Egg your pendant once, but in StoryMS you can
scroll it all 3 times using the Horntail’s Egg!
Here’s a guide for the Horntail Egg Prequest:

Showa Boss (Lv 100 - 255)

 This expedition has 3 bosses. You start it by summoning
Bodyguard A using a Lady’s comb (Anego’s drop) on the
golden chest far right.
Bodyguard A 100% stuns dealing 1 damage but immediately
runs you over dealing 20k body hits. To beat this, you will
need the high avoidability of NLs or permanent tanking
warriors rushing it away from the team.
Bodyguard B is summoned right after you kill the first one.
He deals magic damage. Close range magic damage is a
gunshot dealing 13k and its body hit is also 20k damage.
The final boss is the Showa Boss. He seals the use of mana
constantly and spams 1/1 which is lowering your HP and MP
down to 1; the next hit will kill you if you don’t heal fast
enough. Body hit is also 20k.
The rewards include pink gaia capes, sword earrings,
among other minor prizes. However, if you manage to kill all
3 of them without having any deaths in the party you will
also encounter the slot machine. This one drops pink gaia
capes and a mask that has some stats. The EXP is great!
Von Leon (Lv 120 - 255)

You can reach Von Leon by @goto vonleon.

As you fight Von Leon, keep in mind he has Damage Reflect.
He can also warp you out, where you have to break chests
and find a key to get back inside.
Lastly, he spawns mobs that are super tanky and could get
annoying!
Von Leon Drops:
All gear is different for each class.
Von Leon Gloves
Von Leon Suit/Overall
Von Leon Shoes
Von Leon Belt
Von Leon Cape (meh)

Pink Bean (Lv 120 - 255)

You need to complete all Temple of Time quests in order to
reach the Pink Bean expedition. However! If you are VIP, you
can type @goto pinkbean to skip the prequests!
Pink Bean has 5 statues that guard him.
Six-Phased Sequence
You don’t just defeat each of the 5 Statues once and proceed to
challenge Pink Bean. There are a total of 6 Phases to Pink Bean, where
the Pink Bean itself forms the final Phase (6). The other 5 Phases are
Statues, each having an additional statue as the Phase progresses.
Phase 1: Wiseman Solomon
Phase 2: Wiseman Solomon + Wiseman Rex
Phase 3: Wiseman Solomon + Wiseman Rex + Huigin
 Phase 4: Wiseman Solomon + Wiseman Rex + Huigin + Muinin
Phase 5: Wiseman Solomon + Wiseman Rex + Huigin + Muinin + Ariel
Phase 6: Pink Bean

lives!
Watch out for its Damage Reflect!

Chaos Pink Bean! The same applies for CPB, if you are VIP
you don’t need to do prequests.
There is nothing different regarding phases and sequences for Chaos

WAVE’S LEVELLING GUIDE!
Jenn: These are just leveling tips coming from me. There
might be better places to train! Keep this in mind!

 Once you hit level 10, you can go to NLC and do the
NLC Mayor Quiz for free 5 levels + 2 fame!
 (Answers in Discord #tips)
 Once you hit level 22, you can do the kill 99 horny
mushrooms quest in Sleepywood

(TIP!! Collect the Horny Mushroom caps as you will

need it for a quest from the rememberer later!).
At level 23 the quest kill 99 zombie mushrooms will be
unlocked. At 24 quests from The Rememberer will be
available. Follow this questline till level 30.

 At level 30, do the mushking quests.

 If you like grinding mobs, from 35-60 go to Crows in

Haunted Mansion.

 At level 40, you can do kerning square questline.

 The fastest way to level from level 50-255 is through

Zakum. Make sure you have your prequest done!

Normal Zakum: Level 50 (When leeching make sure you

hit all arms)
Chaos Zakum: Level 120 (When leeching make sure you
hit all arms till level 135!)
 At level 55ish (Depending on how strong you are) you
can grind Jesters at Haunted Mansion.

 From level 75 you could grind at Wolfspiders in New

Leaf City.

 80-130 Ulu City! (Ulu I, Ulu II, Petris) you can do @goto
ulu | If you are funded you can try LKC (Also knows as
LHC) you can do @goto lionking.

* Blaze Wizards, Fire/Poison Mage/Night Walker can level

super fast (even when unfunded) from Lion Heart Castle
starting around level 75ish with DOT (Damage over Time)
Skills! *Outlaws can do the same thing with Flamethrower.
Although the DOT only lasts for 5 seconds, it is still doable!
- 120-160 Future Henesys
 Personally, after Lv 130+ I ran Chaos Zakum Arms with
Makoto (shoutout to you best Duo partner ♡) all the way to
Lv 255 for most of my characters.
Once players start to have some bonus link stats and are
able to run czak arms efficiently, czak arm runs would still
be the best for fast 255 leveling.
If you guys have any leveling places I should add feel free to
let me know!

Maker Skill Guide (Up to Lv 3)
To get Maker Skill level 1 you have to talk with Moren the
Item Maker at Magatia, then you do his 3 quests.

 Quest 1 - you talk to Moren and pay him 10,000 mesos,

and talk to him again.
 Quest 2 - you talk to Moren and pay him another 10,000
mesos, right after you go to Carson in Magatia (Left
Portal) and talk to him.
 Quest 3 - you talk to Moren and pay him another 10,000
mesos, and go to NPC Hughes the Fuse, found in the
hidden room by entering through <B2> in Orbis Tower.

To get Maker skill level 2 you have to talk with Moren in

Magatia: Weapon & Armor Shop.

 Use the Maker skill to create 1 Intermediate Monster

Crystal 1. Then you'll receive Maker Skill level 2.

To get Maker skill level 3 you have to talk with Moren twice
in Magatia: Weapon & Armor Shop.

 Craft Gold Anvil, with the skill Maker Level 2 and 0

mesos, forge this item with 1 Doodly Paper, 6 Gold
Plates, 2 Steel Plates, and 1 Lidium.

Here’s a video guide thanks to Yelq from MapleMS.

[MapleMS] Why you should have Maker Skill!

Making Mesos
 The easiest way to make mesos as a new player is by
selling CS/WS to other players! CS/WS sell for around
20-22m each. (prices may vary)
 Set up a shop and sell the gears you get! You get 8K NX
every day from voting so sell the scrolls and items if
you decide to gach!
 Balrog PQ - with 2x drop coupon, every run guarantees
a CS! With decent links, each run takes 30-1 minute!
