Learning New Skills

MapleStory Europe currently boasts over 80 individual skills to choose from, divided into separate categories by character profession. This ensures new Maplers are never overwhelmed by too much choice to begin with, while still allowing plenty of scope for variety. For instance, Beginners ?the profession that all new characters start as ?have access to just three basic skills to help introduce the concept; one offensive (Three Snails), one defensive (Recovery) and one passive (Nimble Feet). This then increases to a much larger range of skills once players gain some experience and specialise as either Warrior,maple story powerleveling Bowman, Thief or Magician, and even larger still once they progress to the next level of job specialisation.

Some of the skills are passive and designed to improve your offensive or defensive capabilities, such as the Thief's been Eyes?ability. Others are more proactive and must be physically activated?to be used. The Magician's energy Bolt?skill for instance, unleashes powerful magic bolts every time you tap the keyboard (and conveniently, MapleStory lets you map skills to any key of your choosing).

In every case, the effectiveness of your skills is based on how well trained you are in that particular ability. Every time you gain a level in MapleStory you will be awarded a handful of Skill Points to spend on your growing range of skills and abilities. The more points you spend on a skill, the more powerful it becomes; simple. There's even a basic skill-tree?system, with certain more powerful skills only becoming available once a particular level has been reached in a previous skill. For example, Bowmen can only start learning the useful range-increasing eye of Amazon?skill once they'e reached level 3 in the previous skill, 態lessing of Amazon?

While many players have commented to us how much they enjoy MapleStory's easy and approachable skill system, one of the biggest points of feedback we'e received is from people who put their experience into one particular skill, only to decide they rather be accomplished in a different area instead. That's why you will soon be able to buy Skill Point Reset tokens from the game's Cash Shop. These let you transfer points that have already been allocated from one skill to another, giving you even more flexibility over how your character develops.
