Permanent Beginner Guide [NOTE:Sorry for the spelling mistakes] What is a permanent beginner? A permanent beginner is a Mapler who NEVER gets a job advancement and stays as a beginner for the rest of his/her Mapling career. Why be a permanent beginner? Choosing to become a permanent beginner is a very controversial decision. I mean, why become a character that has no skills, limited equipment choices, and low attack strength? Most perma-beginners will respond with these three words: because they�re cool . But just in case you�re not convinced, here�s a full list of the pros (and cons) of staying jobless: Pros: -High level beginners are looked up to by many people, even 3rd jobbers -They don�t lose exp when you die -They�re unique! -They get to use those badass tunas -Taxi far on Victoria Island is cheaper -You can get to El Nath just by dying halfway down Orbis Tower (works for Ludibrium Tower too, if you have some weird urge to go to the Omega Sector) -They�re COOL! (yes, it�s worth repeating) Cons: -Their damage sucks -Anyone (and I mean ANYONE) can kill-steal them -Their equipment choices� are extremely limited -They don�t have any attack skills (unless you count the Three Snails skill as an attack skill) -Stupid newbies sometimes make fun of them Maple Island While on Maple Island, it is ideal to set every skill point you receive into strength, since it�s the skill that determines your attack power (more on that later). Quests There are over a dozen quests on Maple Island. Their rewards vary from experience to armor to preliminary weapons, such as the beginner Razor. In total, the amount of experience you receive as quest rewards is almost enough to get you to level 7, the requirement for leaving Maple Island. Include a couple of minutes of training, and you�re golden. That�s why I recommend you do AS MANY of the quests as you can while on the island. You don�t have to finish all of them, but it definitely won�t hurt. Training In the beginning, your beginner will probably be among the strongest of your level. That means you can train almost anywhere on Maple Island. Personally, I recommend Split Road for its great spawn of Snails and Shrooms. But it doesn�t really matter considering you�ll probably be off the island within of few hours of your character�s creation. Islanders? Islanders are permanent beginners who STAY on Maple Island. Some people find the concept itself really stupid, since Islanders are limited to training on Orange Mushrooms and other weak monsters for the rest of their Maple career. But they�re COOL. So if you want to be an Islander, feel free to do so. Here�s a nice (though slightly outdated) Islander guide written by Mushbuster: link The Basics Strength is the basic building block in the beginner�s melee attack formula. That�s why you should set as many points into strength as possible. In the later levels, dexterity is also very important to the permanent beginner. For every one point of dexterity you receive 0.8 points

Use headers or something to separate sections. The guide looks too disorganized. There is no Split Road in the new Maple Island. By the way, you fail. Literally. (Remove brackets in second link.) School apparently did not teach you manners or what?

[/quote] It doesn't make sense, either way, that he would post another guide that was also ripped off of here with slight modifications without also being given credit to the rightful owner (in fact even stating it's his guide, which is so not right). I'm just saying, either that or my little eyes and observations tell me that something very fishy is going on.
