 | With an understanding that this last patch released both CK and the Item Maker skill, the latter of which completely buried in the hype the CK have received, I felt it pertinent to explain how exactly the Item Maker skill works so people feel more comfortable forging equipment. It is rather daunting when compared to most of MapleStory's content because there's a lot involved, which makes it more complex than most things on the game. However, that doesn't mean it's unusable; in fact, it should be something most people, with the knowledge of exactly how and what they can do with it, flock to for their future equipment. Let's start with the basics. Q: What is Item Maker? Item Maker is a beginner skill that allows the user to create items anywhere in the Maple world using a select "recipe" of items. Using the skill, one can also increase (or in some cases, decrease) the base stats of the item during production through the use of additional items. Q: How do I get the skill? The first and easiest requirement to meet is that you cannot be a beginner. Cygnus are allowed to use Maker as well, though similar to Explorers, Noblesse are not allowed to use the skill. The final requirement is that you must be at least level 45. Obtaining the skill is much easier: head to the the Weapon shop left of the entrance portal to Magatia and talk to Moren. He will ask you to enroll in classes with Carson, Hughes the Fuse, and himself, all at a price of 10k per class. Take each class before returning to Magatia where Moren will quiz you on your new knowledge. Don't worry about failing any of his quizzes, because there's no penalty, so continue to take them until you pass. Upon completion, Moren will grant you the level 1 Maker skill. Congratulations! You now have Lv. 1 Maker http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/5572/makerbackgrnd.png (imageshack) Below the text "Select the item..." there's a combo box so you can choose which item you want to make. The item requirements are then listed out on the table below it, as well as with any mesos required to forge the equip. The enhancer in the bottom left corner is for using stimulators with the equipment. The bottom right portion is for imbuing your equipment with appraised jewels. Obtaining Lv. 2 Maker To obtain Lv. 2 Maker, you must be at least Lv. 75. To being, speak with Moren and use your Maker skill to create the item he requests - 1 Medium Monster Crystal 1. This can be made through one of two methods discussed later in this post. He is a little picker with this quest and may reject the first crystal you preset him (thus causing you to lose the crystal), so keep giving him crystals until he likes your work. Upon completion, you are rewarded with Maker skill level 2. Obtaining Lv. 3 Maker To obtain Lv. 3 Maker, you must be a least Lv. 105. To begin, speak with a distressed Moren, finishing the conversation to have a Completed Quest bubble pop up on the floor beneath him. Click on this bubble to receive the Doodly Paper. To fi |
