MapleStory: Idle RPG Beginner Guide

The new MapleStory: Idle RPG is here with one of the most interesting gameplay mechanics, classes, and pixelated graphics that would keep you playing the game for hours. However, as a beginner, things can be quite intense, and that's why we're here for you. This MaplyStory: Idle RPG beginners guide aims to cover everything from upgrading your character to ensuring you get the best in class progression. 

By the end, you'll know exactly where to start, how to leverage the AFK system, and how to use equipment to keep progressing throughout. 

Note: If you want to AFK progress together with your friends, then use LDCloud's multi-sync features. Log in with your friends' accounts and progress together infinitely with a single click. 

Progression & Combat System

After finishing the tutorial and early-stage missions, you will see that your mechanics will evolve, too. Things like equipment, character stats, and dungeons will start to open. Your main goal is to raise the Combat Power or CP higher. The higher your CP, the higher-level enemies you can challenge.

Each chapter rewards EXP and CP boosts, but the idle nature means that you don't really have to play minute by minute. Just check the game from time to time, add in a little bit of your twist, and you'll see that you're progressing like a champ. 

Also, by logging in daily, you will be able to claim rewards and get the necessary energy boosts, new features, and buffs to manage your way through the toughest battle. Now, let's talk about the even more important aspect of the game, the combat system.

Combat in MapleStory: Idle RPG

Combat is mostly automatic, however, you still manage a big chunk of the game like adding equipment, dismantling it, upgrading it, and even choosing the skill loadouts. You can pick up to six active or passive skills, level them, and later, ascend them using resources like Red Diamonds, Mastery Upgrades, and other time based timers.

Some skill upgrades can take a lot of time, over a day. So, you should always plan ahead to make things work. Equipment in the game works a bit differently. Instead of having normal monster drops, you need to summon points to summon elites whose drops give you something called the Gear Shards. 

The main point here is that you should discard unwanted gear shards as it will help you raise your elite-summon level, giving you even better drops. Weapons and companions in the game are also summoned using the draw-ticket systems. Most players recommend prioritizing mystic-tier weapons over companions early. 

This will give you the biggest CP boost.

Understanding Job Advancement

Jobs in MapleStory: Idle RPG are like classes. Once you reach Quest 8, the game will demand you to choose your job advancement, which can become more of a confusion than a selection. For now, the game offers different job classes, so let's cover them one by one, concisely, so you know which one is ideal for you:

●Hero: Amazing, oriented class whose ultimate ability is brutal and is quite offense-oriented.

●Dark Knight: Also focuses on striking and has a contract with the darkness. So, many amazing techniques are available.

●Arch Mage (Ice/Light): The main stat here is INT, but Arch Mage can not only freeze the opponents with the ice but then attack them using light.

●Arch Mage (Poison/Fire): Pretty similar to the previous Arch Mage, but this one comes with more debuffing powers too. Fire is a solid skill to attack the opponents.

●Bowmaster: DEX is the main stat here. If you like ranged attacks, this class is perfect for you.

●Marksman: A job that comes with swift attacking from afar, Marksman is great with defense as the tradeoff.

●Night Lord: A great class that uses dark powers to throw stars and hurt opponents.

●Shadower: Comes from the Thief class and is quick to attack enemies.

With all these job enhancements, which one should you choose? Well, it depends on your personal goals. For beginners, Hero and Dark Knight might yield the best results, especially if they are new to RPGs. 

As you progress into the world of MapleStory, you'll also be able to put on costumes for your characters, making them look unique compared to other online players. 

Upgrading Potions and Skills

While this might be a big shocker to you, you can upgrade the potions in the game, too. Since it is an Idle RPG game, potions can be your way of upgrading yourself to the next level. With that said, there's an HP recovery potion and an MP potion. 

With HP, once your health bar reaches a certain point, it will kick in. Same with the skill cooldown setting. However, you can set the rate manually yourself. By default, both potions are set. After dropping to 80%, they will kick in.

Upgrading them is very important because as you go through the battles, the enemies will get stronger and they will do more damage too. By upgrading these skills, you can survive longer in this idle RPG-type game. 

Moreover, once you upgrade these skills beyond a certain stage, you can upgrade them and take them to the next stage, increasing their efficiency. 

Weapon Summoning and Upgradation Guide

Aside from skills, we also have weapons in the game. You see, skills will let you primarily attack the enemy. But when it comes to the weapons, they will let you go to the next level by increasing your attacks or providing some kind of buff that gives you an edge in battle.

Once you unlock the weapon, you will also be able to awaken it. Awakening usually comes in four stages and if you have the resources, do upgrade it to the max, but only to the items that are rare and have a better chance of taking you close to your end goal.

Choose one good weapon and let your gameplay upgrade it to the max. This is how you will win the game. Moreover, if you want to summon the best possible equipment once you unlock it, you can use LDCloud's synchronous operations and multi-sync feature to control and progress multiple accounts of MapleStory.

This way, your chances of becoming a rare item becomes multiple as you now have access to multiple distinct accounts.
