=================================================================

1.1 - Introduction

=================================================================

The Ludibrium Party Quest is a great add-on to Maplestory. After passing level
50 I have made a guide to help people (assassins in general) learn to master
their pq abilities just as I have. This PQ is a whole different attitude
that of the Kerning PQ. With higher levels, means more powerful players and
a chance to test your newly gained 2nd job skills. You will be faced with
new stronger monsters, puzzles, more and longer stages, and stages where
teamwork is critical. Throughout these challenges, you can learn to
cooperate and work together for a quicker, cleaner PQ.

=================================================================

1.2 - What is pq

=================================================================

PQ is party quest. It is a quest that can be repeated infinite times for a

certain level range. This quest is not displayed in your quest log, and

takes place in a special group of maps that can be entered through forming

a party. There's a catch though, only one party is allowed in at a time

per channel.

=================================================================

1.3 - Requirements

=================================================================

The requirements to do a Ludibrium party quest are...

Level 35~50

Having a full party of 6

All party members are in Eos Tower Floor 101

=================================================================

1.4 - Is PQ worth the time

=================================================================

YES! a PQ is DEFINETELY worth the 30 minutes or so it takes to complete.

This is an EXTREME save in time training and money wasted on pots. to top

it all off, you get prizes from doing pq.

Is it worth the time to GET IN a pq... thats all up to your leader's

clicking.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2.Basics of PQ
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

=================================================================

2.1 - Basic pq terms of speech

=================================================================

Since some people didnt do kerning pq much, i made this section to help

those people with pq "slang".

PQ - "Party Quest"

Looking for/Joining pq - "I want to join a party quest"

(lvl 46 sin looking for pq)

Track (noun) - "The name of a person in pq you /find so you know their stage"

(whats the track's name?)

Track (verb) - to type in /find and check the people inside's stage"

(u guys keep tracking and tell me when 8th)

Rush - To exit a party quest and get back in the same channel right away.

(If we try to rush we might miss)

Miss - Another party gets in pq and not yours.

(I saw them go in, we missed)

Solo - Kill by oneself with no assistance. mostly refering to bosses

(I'll solo 1st rombot in stage 7)

d/c - d/c simply stands for disconnect

(One of our members d/ced, go get another)

AC or Autoclicker - AC was a program that clicks automatically super fast.

IS CONSIDERED A HACK AND CANNOT BE USED NOW.

(I heard that guy has ac by using bypass)

=================================================================
2.2 - Parties

=================================================================

The Ludibrium party quest consits of a party with 6 members (the leader

counts as a member). These parties have to be with members levels 35-50.

The party must be in the same room for the leader to click the npc that

takes you in pq. You can join a party by finding people who say

"looking for pq members" and asking them to invite you. Also by you

saying "looking for pq", eventually you will get invited to a party.

=================================================================

2.3 - Going Inside

=================================================================

To enter the Ludibrium Party quest, if you are leader, have a party of 6 and

have them all be Eos Tower floor 101. Make sure they are all lvl 35-50. then

wait for your track to get to "A crack in the wall" here you need to be
ready. As soon as that party reaches Bonus, you click ALOT VERY VERY FAST.another note... to click very fast, double click the red sign in eos 101
and move the window so the ok button is on top of the sign. then click in
that spot alot.

=================================================================

2.4 - Stages

=================================================================

Ludi pq is longer, unlike the kerning pq. This has 8 main stages, 1 boss

stage, and 2 bonus-style stages (also one exit stage for when you die).

-Stage 1 is killing monsters and collecting passes.

-Stage 2 is breaking boxes and collecting dropped passes

-Stage 3 is breaking boxes, then the boxes summon 3 blocktopus, kill and

collect all the passes.

-Stage 4 is entering darkened rooms and killing special monsters with

different defense capabilities (some magic weak some physical weak)

-Stage 5 is towers you have to climb to break boxes and collect passes

-Stage 6 is a puzzle to get from one place to another (like utah's farm)

-Stage 7 is killing weak monsters that spawn rombots then killing rombots

-Stage 8 is similar to kerning stage 4, exactly same except needs 5 members

and is harder to jump through

-Boss stage is, kill a dirty rat and it spawns the boss alishar. kill alishar,

and give keys (alishar drops) to leader

-Bonus stage is breaking boxes and collecting prizes from them.

-Determine to adventure(2nd bonus) is talk to the npc, and he gives you your

REAL prize of stuff like a scroll.

-the exit stage is when you die or have to leave during pq, you get taken here

3.1 - Party Reccomendations --ALERT! A "MUST SEE" WARNING IN HERE

=================================================================

I reccomend having a party of all lvl 40+. Have at least one cleric and also
one sin (you).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
READ THIS v
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are 3 areas that are REQUIRED to do a pq.

1.A thief with dark sight to do bottom of stage 5

2.A magician with teleport to do top of stage 5

3.An assassin or bowman with maxxed range skill to summon monsters in stage 7.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
READ THIS ^
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

An assassin is GREAT because they cover both reasons 1 and 3. Then also a

cleric is great because wizards are literally useless at boss stage. clerics

cover reason 2 AND can heal the undead monsters that boss summons and heal

the party.

Best jobs for pq:

1. Assassin 40+

2. Cleric 40+

3. Bandit 45+

4. Spearman 45+ (with HB)

5. Bowmen(both types) 45+

6. Fighter 45+ (with or without rage, but preferred if over +5atk)

7. Page 45+

8. Wizard(either) 40+

9. Perma Beginners(lol. this would just be funny)

I'm not saying wizards are completely useless. They can be used in stage 5

in top portal and 4 in the top three portals if you cannot find a cleric.

A quick tip sent by reader:

It is great when a bandit who thought ahead for PQ gets involved. At first a

bandit is the slower of the two, which he is, but after five points into

haste a beautiful skill called steal is unlocked. Yes, beautiful. Yes adding

zounds of points into is a complete waste, but one point is enough to get

a 11% chance to steal an "extra ticket." Let me repeat this an "extra

ticket" this is a ticket that is taken from a living monster. No it doesn't

stop the monster from dropping one at its death too, so what you have is

two tickets from every monster. You may say "oh 11% that will take years."

I don't disagree with you, but it is a percentage making it a wild card. :(

For some strange reason I get a ticket within the first 10 hits, figures

with 11% "you will steal 1 out of every 10 hits." This is just a tip from

a bandit, I am really tired of getting down played and forlorened by every

other job.

-Dont worry dude. Everyone loves both types of thiefs for pq. Both sins
and bandits got power, which helps at Alishar, and Dark sight which helps
at stage 5. ^_^

=================================================================
3.2 - Rushing

=================================================================

Rushing has been eliminated from a fully completed pq. Since another party
can enter during bonus, you can't rush. There are 2 possible ways to rush.
The first is send 3 members out to save names o people incase you miss.
This also might eliminate some parties' tracks. Then when they least expect
it, have your leader exit and try to clik again ALOT and try to get back in.

=================================================================
3.3 - Time

=================================================================

Ludi pq gives you 1 hour to complete, so it will also take longer to do so.
This is more than enough time because an average pq takes from 30~40 minutes.

=================================================================
3.4 - Tracking

=================================================================

The best and most effective way to get a track is to remmber or record names
