Hi everyone, I was writing a training guide for myself and I thought that I'd share with everyone here. I thought it would be good to list the usual spots along with alternatives and my personal input. Enjoy!

Note #1: The reboot server offers a slightly different training experience than the rest of Maplestory due to the increased difficulty of monsters and slower damage progression. Much of the same areas are recommended due to spawn rate and monster count. However, most classes have much better results training at monsters when you are close to the same level or higher leveled than the monsters. As we continue to playtest the Reboot server, a more detailed guide will be presented. For now, most of the training areas are still the same, but with greater emphasis on completing theme dungeons such as Ellinel Acadamy, Gold Beach, Reina Strait, and Mushroom Kingdom. For a quick check, look for the reboot approved bolded note, which means it is a viable location to train. Basically the same training spots though. Having Cygnus Blessing helps mitigate lower level problems, with Reboot's passive damage buff helping you train easier on the higher levels.

Note #2: Reboot Players, please remember to try to obtain equips in each slot (Curbrock quests and Theme Dungeon Quests will help you do this) and starforce your equips since it is very cheap and it will greatly help you deal decent damage to monsters (5 stars on low level equips gives +10 all stats).

First Job Level 1-30

Level RangeMonster(s)LocationDescription
1-10--Tutorial for class/Automatic leveling
10-30Flaming GolemsGolem Temple 3 HenesysPopular spot to level. Reboot approved
10-30Various MonstersPantheon MapsMaps to train on for our Nova friends and are a less crowded alternative to the popular Golems. Pick a monster at or very close to your level. Reboot approved
15-30Blue MushmomBlue Mushmom Forest HenesysJust go through each channel and kill for some quick levels.
20-35StreetlightStreetlight Row EdelsteinAnother alternative to leveling up first job characters. Reboot approved

Second Job Level 30-60

Level RangeMonster(s)LocationDescription
30-35QuestlineEllinel Academy Theme DungeonYou can begin this questline via lightbulb quests at level 30. These quests mostly consists of kill x number of monsters and loot x item(s). While it is slightly slower than immediately heading to Gold Beach, it is helpful for both Reboot players and newer players with the following completion rewards: 500k Mesos, 100 spell traces, and a level 35 glove (all stat +1, atk/matk +1) along with a cape. Reboot approved
35-40QuestlineGold Beach Theme DungeonMore kill and collect quests, with a beach theme. Good questline to complete since you would train here anyway. The Gold Beach questline is great for Reboot players and newer players due to the completion rewards: 1 million Mesos, 200 spell traces, and Octopus Earrings (meh). Reboot approved
30-50Emerald Clam Slime, etc.Seaside 1 and beyondMost Gold Beach maps are great for leveling, my personal favorite is Seaside 1. Reboot approved
50-55/58QuestlineRiena Strait Theme DungeonYou can access this questline via lightbulb quests at level 50. Good alternative to get a few levels if you cannot kill drakes efficiently. Especially good for newer players and Reboot players, it offers the following completion rewards: 2 million Mesos, 300 spell traces, and a Sailor Belt (+2 all stats) along with the face accessory. Reboot approved
50-60Wild BoarBurnt Land Wild Boar Land PerionDecent map and decent mobs if you don't want to complete Reina Strait and if you are tired of Gold Beach.
50-60SkeledogsExcavation Intermission Area PerionAlternative location if you cannot find a map at Copper Drakes. Enter the building for great mob/spawn rate.
55-60Copper DrakesSilent Swamp SleepywoodOne of the most popular training locations. Offers great mob count and spawn rate. Arguably the best map to grind for elite bosses due to its popularity.

Third Job Level 60-100

Level RangeMonster(s)LocationDescription
60-70Copper DrakesSilent Swamp SleepywoodWhy leave a great map? Most classes have better mobbing tools with their 3rd job skills which allow you to train more efficiently here. Reboot approved if near level 66
60-70Twisted JesterChimney Possessed by the Clown New Leaf CityTo get here you need to enter the haunted mansion in NLC, then enter the chimney,and jump on the springs until you are in front of the room up top.
60-65QuestlineMushroom Castle Theme DungeonA slightly longer theme dungeon, with several kill and loot quests, and a small jump quest. While the experience earned here is not the best, it is reasonable and is good for Reboot and new players due to having the following rewards: 3 million Mesos, 400 spell traces, and a 'Shackles of Love' equip (+2 all stats +1 atk/matk).
70-140Neo HuroidRomeo and Juliet Party Quest(Talk to portal, select Party Quest, and talk to Romeo or Juliet) Requires four people within 20 levels of each other. This is the fastest way to level up, but you may have some difficulty if the monsters are too high level for you (its is based off of the party's average level capping at 99). Reboot approved, good luck getting in!
70-90Big SpiderVerne Mine: Shaft 2 and beyondMap that offers OK experience rate. I usually train here just to get the Big Spider Familiar to improve drop rate.
70-100Scorpion/Sand RatSahel 2 Ariant/MagatiaAnother somewhat popular training map. This map is great if you cannot find a party for Romeo and Juliet PQ or if you want to fight elite bosses. Reboot approved if near 79

Fourth Job Level 100-140+

Level RangeMonster(s)LocationDescription
100-140Neo HuroidRomeo and Juliet Party QuestGet your fourth job advancement and come right back! Reboot approved
100-140Various leveled MobsMonster Park ExtremeTalk to portal, select Monster Park, and go through last portal to the right. Requires tickets with three being given daily. Reboot approved and great for farming equips
100-120Harp/Blood HarpStarforce Sky Nests 2/3 LeafreRequires at least 5 stars on your equips in order to train effectively(an equip that has been scrolled/spell traced and star enhanced 5 times). If you don't have any star force, you can try training on Sky Nest 1.
105+Various MobsEvolution Lab Party QuestTalk to portal and select Evolution Lab. It requires a few prequests and is not the best source of experience, but can be used to purchase potential scrolls, mastery books, and spell traces. The arguably best map is link 3. Can be done three times a day.
105-125Robo/Master RoboToy Factory <Apparatus Room> LudibriumAlternative map with decent spawn after finishing your daily quests/bossing. Reboot approved if around 113
120-130Various Starforce MobsStarforce Ludibrium Maps Lower Floor Ludibrium-
125-140Captain/KruRed Nose Pirate Den 2 Herb TownMap with great spawn rate and number of monsters. Reboot approved
125-140+Moon BunnyBlack Mountain Enterance Korean Folk TownMap with crazy good spawn and good experience. Probably the best place to train 125-140+
140+Leveled MobsDimensional Invasion PQTalk to portal, select Dimensional Invasion, and [talk to Piston.](http://i.imgur.com/w23CnRu.png. Limited to five times a day, this PQ offers a huge amount of mobs and spawns them very quickly, with the goal being to eliminate them before they overwhelm the map. Reboot approved and great for equips!
140+Selkie Jr./SlimyMysterious Path 3 SingaporeWeak monsters with amazing spawn rate, works well when you share the map as well. This map is great for completing attendance/event quests.
140+StarforceSkelegon/Dark WyvernMinrar Forest The Dragon Nest Left Behind 1 LeafreRequires some funding due to large amount of hp/Starforce requirement]
140+Various MobsTemple of Time Maps and QuestsComplete the questline and advance through ToT in order to access higher level maps. These prequests are needed to fight Pink Bean.
165+Official Knight A/BFirst/Second Drill Hall Gate of FutureYou can train here at level 160 with a teleport. One of the best places to train with end-game in mind. It offers the best experience for those that wish to continue leveling up to 200+ keeping in mind the map is flat/small and encourages partying/leeching. Requires funding to effectively solo the map. Recently Changed to a Star Force Map, initial findings make it sub-par compared to before.
190+Ancient Mixed GolemsTwilight Perion Gate of FutureAn expansion on Gate of Future accessible at 190+. These golems may hit somewhat hard and automatically attack you. Also watch out for their wide range attack. This map has great spawn rate and mob count. These golems are level 198, so expect several missed hits if you train here at 190. There is a very small safe spot that all classes can access on the corner of the left edge as it dips down as seen here. Otherwise, you can fly or zip up to the top of the left or right side of the columns
200+Various MobsScrapyard/Skyline/Black Heaven MapsHoused in the Edelstein region, various monsters level 200+ are located here. At times, various pieces of scrap metal fall down, that do % hp damage, so there are no safe spots. These monsters hit hard, have a good spawn rate and are the current end game mobs.

Tired of grinding off of waves and waves of mobs? Then take a break and kill some bosses for experience! Unfortunately, bossing usually isn't the best experience, especially during the early levels, so I will list some of the ones worth killing (for experience). Most Bosses will require some preparation to fight them, such as potions, all cures, and having a high enough range to defeat them in a timely manner. Check the Boss Tab in Maplestory for information on each boss! You can also check out this guide [here] (https://www.reddit.com/r/Maplestory/comments/2h9570/newbie_questions/ckqivau) although it is a year old. Please note the spawn rate/times listed. For some bosses, such as Zakum, you can kill in any form but are limited to 2x a day with any combination. For example you can kill 1x Normal Zakum and 1x Chaos Zakum or 2x Normal Zakum, etc. Also note that the bosses that are spawned on different channels are shared to every player, so first come first serve!

Level RangeBossLocationDescriptionSpawn Time/Rate
15-30Blue MushmomBlue Mushmom Forest HenesysEasy early level boss that gives good experience for the effort needed to kill it.1x per channel ~1hr spawn time
50-70Easy ZakumThe Door to Zakum(limited to 2 times a day) Just go to the Chief Residence in El Nath, talk to an instructor that fits your job, and you will be teleported to the map to fight zakum2x day Midnight Reset
90+Normal ZakumThe Door to Zakum(Reccomended at 100+ if not funded) Great source for daily experience. If you cannot defeat the whole thing, kill the arms for experience. 20-30k+ Range needed.2x day Midnight Reset
130+Easy HorntailCave of Life LeafreAnother boss that has split body parts, so more experience! Requires 50k+ range. More difficult than Zakum.2x day Midnight Reset
130+Normal HillaAzwan via Dimensional MirrorA boss that gives decent experience. Requires some more funding than Zakum due to Hilla's damage reduction and damage reflect.2x day Midnight Reset
130+Female Boss (aka Anego)Zinpangu ParlorAn old Showa Town that spawns in the Hideout.1x per channel ~12 hour spawn time
140+Chaos ZakumThe Door to ZakumZakum with even greater experience! Requires 70k+ range. Be wary of the combination of seduce, dispel, and 1/1 (% reduction of hp/mp to 1).2x day Midnight Reset
150+KrexelSignapore Ruins of Krexel IIAn easy boss that gives great experience, just be wary that he has a lot of hp. (Protip, use a Rune to boost damage and experience)2x day 24 hr reset from last entry
160+Horntail/Chaos HorntailCave of Life LeafreStronger version of Easy Horntail, Normal has more HP than easy. Chaos has weapon damage reflect (left head) and magic damage reflect (right head).2x day Midnight Reset
160+Bodyguards A/B and The BossShowa Town HideoutA set of three bosses (Bodyguard A/B and The Boss) that requires a comb etc drop from Female boss to fight. Talk to the npc in the last map of the hideout and drop a comb on top of the treasure chest. Gives good experience, but can annoying to fight. Bodyguard A stuns often (most annoying for non-range classes), Bodyguard B attacks drain MP, The Boss constantly uses a 1/1 attack. Auto HP/MP recommended.1x day 24 hr reset from last entry
180+Pink BeanDeep Place of Temple: Forgotten TwilightA boss that requires you complete a long chain of prequests at Temple of Time. Very great experience from both the statues and itself. Pink Bean requires 100k+ range due to damage reflect and its damage reduction.1x day 24 hr reset from last entry

Tips/Tricks:

Familiars

EXP Boosters Increase the amount of experience each monster gives, so that you need to kill fewer to level! These include the following

EXP BuffDescription
Party Buffs(This includes a Priest's Holy Symbol (aka HS) [1.5x] and a Beast Tamer's Friends of Arby [1.3x]. While not a direct EXP boost, Kanna's Kishin Soukan (aka Kishin) boosts spawn rate and spawn count of normal mobs.
Runes(An interactive NPC which you talk to (default key spacebar) and use your arrow keys in order to get a 2 minute 1.5x buff. Runes can be used every 15 minutes and respawns on the same map after 1 hour.
Cash Shop Coupons(Coupons you can purchase in the Cash Shop for 2x experience)
Mercedes Link Skill(Level up a Mercedes Character to 70/120 for a 10/15% exp boost)
Zero Character Card(This character to your card set gives a 4%/6%/8%/10% exp boost)
Event Coupons(Events such as Attendence Quests, Hot Time gifts, etc. often have EXP multipliers (1.3x/1.5x/2x) as rewards to completing them.
Resting(By having a character rest as a part time job, a character can potentially get a 1.3x coupon.)
Star Planet(Star Planet rewards 2x coupons for completing mini games.)
2x Events(During some weekends holidays and events, Maplestory can experience a 2x events which stack with other boosts)
BurningArguably the best effect for leveling. This effect is given to one character per world during an event period via character creation (past event starting at level 10) or questline (e.g. Sizzling Santa quest beginning at level 33) that allows the user to level 3 times per level (e.g. instead of leveling from 33-34, you would level 33-34-35-36) Think of it as buy one, get two free!

I will update the guide somewhat as needed. Feel free to comment if I missed anything, or have suggestions. I may add further alternative training locations at a later time.

Maplestory V62 Guide

Quick Navigation:Index - Maple History - Guilds - General Tips & Tricks - FAQ

Maplestory is a very rapidly changing game, and to help understand what’s been going on I decided to make this “guide.”

Most of the people asking this haven’t played since before the most influential patch and change to the game was made, “Big Bang.” This patch occurred on December 7th 2010.The patch was HUGE for Maplestory. The UI was completely overhauled.The EXP rate and curve was COMPLETELY changed. Before, getting to level 30 could take you a week to a month for most people. Now this can be accomplished in around 30 minutes to an hour. Included in this section of the patch, was the reorganization of the MapleWorld, most notably, Victoria Island. Victoria Island may now be navigated using a central location called “Six Paths Crossing” which is a large tree that allows you to head to any region of Victoria as well as the Intercontinental station allowing you to travel to other continents.

Familiars:

  • Monsters now drop “Familiar” cards as well as the old “Monster” cards. These cards can be used to summon the monster and have it follow you around. Monsters each have different effects ranging from health boosts to meso drop rates.for more info see this guide

Hyper Skills:

  • After reaching level 140, you receive Hyper Skills which are additional skills that improve your stats, skills, and add additional skills.for more info on hyper skills see this guideIf you want to know your classes' hyper skills, view the respective class guide below for your class.

Hyper Stats

  • After reaching level 140, you receive Hyper Stat points. Hyper Stats allow you to raise your various stats without equipment or AP. You get multiple Hyper Stat points per level, and the numbers of points you get increases every 10 levels, however as you level up a Hyper Stat, it starts to require more and more Hyper Stat Points to increase to the next level.

Professions:

  • You may now learn 2 professions(5 professions for reboot) which allow you to craft items. The professions are: Herbalism, Mining, Alchemy, Smithing, and Accessory Crafting.for more info see this guide

Silent Crusade:

  • At level 75 you receive a questline that allows you to earn coins through various tasks and use them to purchase items from Edelstein. The bulk of Silent Crusade quests require you to enter 'Mystic Gates' throughout Maple World and kill area-bosses.for more info see this guide

Potential System:

  • Potential System: Item can now have a 'hidden potential' which can be revealed by clicking the magnifying glass icon in your inventory. These 'hidden potentials' add stats to your weapon such as 4% INT or +12 STR. for more info see this guideNOTE: as of the RED patch, there are only two types of miracle cubes now available from the cash shop. RED cubes act as standard miracle cubes, Black cubes act as memory cubes.

Enhancement System:

  • Enhancement scrolls add random additional stats to your equipment when done with normal scrolling, more info here

Star Force

  • Star Force allows you to spend mesos to enhance your equipment, rather than using Enhancement scrolls. The overall functionality is identical to that of stars gained through Enhancement Scrolls, however Star Force has a lower chance of destroying equipment, and even if your equipment is destroyed, it can be restored using an Equipment Trace, which is gained upon the item's destruction, and a clean piece of gear.

Spell Traces

  • Spell traces are items that drop periodically from monsters. They are also sold by various shops, including the Silent Crusade shop in Edelstein. They can be used to scroll your equipment. For more information, see here.

Soul Weapons

  • Soul Weapons are weapons that have had a boss soul placed on them. Many bosses, such as Zakum, Arkarium, Vellum, and Hilla, drop soul fragments. Combining 10 of these fragments will get you a boss soul. To put a boss soul on a weapon, you must use a Soul Enchanter. Soul Enchanters drop randomly from bosses and normal monsters. Once the boss soul has been applied, killing monsters will build up a gauge, and after a certain point, you can use a special skill unique to that boss soul. For more information, see here

Star Planet

  • Star Planet is an area accessible at level 33 and above. It is a cross-world area where you can meet with other players, chat, and participate in minigames. Minigames can earn Reward Points that can be spent in the cash shop. More information about Star Planet can be found here.

Maple Reward Points

  • Reward Points are a form of limited NX that players can spend in the Rewards Shop inside the Cash Shop. They can be earned in-game from every major boss and theme dungeon, as well as rewards for playing Star Planet minigames. Items in the shop include, but are not limited to: Red Cubes (5 per month), Black Cubes (5 per month), and Robot Stand shop permits (2 per month). More information found here, and a list of shop items can be found here.

Elite Monsters and Bosses

  • Elite Monster: Elite Monsters are large, prefixed versions of normal monsters that are summoned after a number of normal monsters have been killed. They drop item such as All Cures, Golden Hammers, and rare-ranked equipment.
  • Elite Boss: After a number Elite Monsters have been killed, the screen will flash with a large warning message, and an Elite Boss will be summoned. There are 5 Elite Bosses; Black Knight Mokadin, Human Hunter July, Crazy Mage Karianne, Charge Type CQ57, and Fighter Plaid. Each boss will be flanked by two Elite Monsters. The bosses have a variety of spells and attacks, as well as fully-voiced skills and death messages. Upon being defeated, each player who dealt damage to the boss will be given one prize box as a reward, and the person within 20 levels of the boss who dealt the most damage to it will earn two. These prize boxes can contain clean slate scrolls, protection scrolls, and more. Additionally, when the boss is defeated, a reward stage will start for 10 seconds where EXP, mesos, and items will rain from the sky, if you can catch them.

Runes

  • Runes are powerful magic objects that cause a variety of effects on the battlefield, such as increasing your character's speed, summoning powerful lightning strikes, making your character giant, or simply exploding and killing surrounding monsters. Current runes include:

    Rune of Swiftness: Increases your character's speed for 2 minutes, +200% exp for the duration.

    Rune of Destruction: Creates a cloud of poison gas which instantly kills nearby enemies then deals continuous damage, and increases your character's damage for 2 minutes, +200% exp for the duration.

    Rune of Recovery: Maxes your character's recovery rate for 2 minutes, +200% exp for the duration.

    Rune of Thunder: Summons lightning strikes around the map for for 2 minutes, +200% exp for the duration.

    Rune of Darkness: Summons 3 Elite Monsters, +200% exp for the duration.

    Rune of Treasure: Summons a Treasure Mimic that drops items from the sky, +200% exp for the duration.

    Rune of Might: Makes your character giant for a short time, +200% exp for the duration.

    Rune of Hordes: Increases the number of monsters summoning within the map for 1 minute, +100% exp for the duration.

    Rune of Skill: Decreases the cooldown for skills with a greater cooldown of 5 seconds, +100% exp for the duration.

  • To activate a rune, walk up to one and press the NPC chat/Harvest key, which is spacebar by default

Nebulite system:

  • Nebulites are a second tier for potential, adding even more stat bonuses. see guide here

Additional Potential System:

  • A third tier for potential guide to enhance your items even further. See this guide for more info. Look under 'Bonus Potential' section

Inner Abilities:

  • By collecting Medals of Honor from monsters and bosses, you can earn Honor EXP which can be used to reset 3 lines of Inner Abilities. Inner Abilities can be seen in the in-game stat window and provide stat increases.More info here

Azwan:

  • A new area accessible through the inter-dimensional portal. Here you can complete a questline, play mini-games, do a party quest, and gain Honor EXP which can be used to earn Inner Abilities (see above)
  • Note: The Azwan dungeon was closed for revamps during the Elite updates, however the Hilla boss is still accessible and the area was updated with a small questline. It is unknown when this are will be reopened.

Job Advancement:

  • The level at which job advancements are made has been adjusted to 2nd job: level 30 3rd job: level 60 4th job: level 100

Mastery Books

  • Mastery books have been universalized into 'Mastery Book 20' and 'Mastery Book 30' which work at a 100% chance. These are sold by merchants for 7 mil and 10 mil respectively. Dual Blade books can be bought for 100k from the vendor within the Secret Garden. Evan books can be bought for 100k from the potion ship in Henesys.

Open Job Advancement

  • When reaching level 101, adventurers now have the option to change into another branch of the same job (i.e. Corsair -> Buccaneer). The price of this increases by your level. This can be done by talking to your 4th job instructor in Leafre.

Adventurers Universalized

  • Dual Blades, Cannoneers, and Jetts are all considered Explorers now. This means that they can share Cash Shop inventories and they are available for Open Job Advancement is available for Cannoneers and Dual blades, assuming you are a job within the same branch.

Leveling Guide

This guide was written by /u/Auracity and /r/Maplestory

This leveling guide serves as to help people have an idea of good places to train. You shouldn't stick to only these places, Maplestory is a huge world! Get out and explore!

Non-Reboot.

FOR REBOOT, JUST BUMP ALL THE LEVELS UP BY 10~20

  • Levels 1-10: You can usually skip to level 10 by skipping through the tutorial. If you can't it usually means you have a tutorial and you have to do it.

  • Levels 10-30: Golems in Golem temple near Henesys. As you level, switch maps to gain more XP. Nexon has changed golems to be centered around level 10-20 but if you are unfunded until level 30 isn't a bad idea.

  • Levels 30-45: Try gold beach, there are over 15 maps to choose from all of which are decent. You can progress through the maps as you level. If Theme Dungeons are more your thing try Mushking Empire questline, Elluel Fairy Academy questline Some classes will allow you to get free levels from Tot for levels 30-35.

  • Levels 45-75: Drakes are pretty much the best option, if you really hate training at the same spot for 30 levels you can try progressing through Sleepywood, however only Silent Swamp will really be kishin glitched unless you do it yourself.

  • Levels 75-85: Head to White Fangs at El Nath, fairly similar map layout to Drakes. You can buy boots from the El Nath store if you hate slipping around on ice.

  • Levels 75-115: Try the Romeo and Juliet Party Quest, however it as recently been nerfed to the ground

  • Levels 85-105: Head to Sahel 2 in Magatia, it's a nice flat map for you to train at.

  • Levels 105-120: Any Robos map will work honestly. Head over to Ludi and EXPLORE!

  • Levels 100-140: Try MPE, it has also been nerfed but it's still good. The monsters give very good exp at the cost of high hp. You will also want to stock up on from MPE pots (Red for Attack, Blue for M. Attack, and Green for Attack Speed) if you encounter a Rhino, you may find Gold pots (10% bonus exp) and a Greed Pendant (20% drop rate for equip tab only). All MPE pots stack with every buff.

  • Levels 140-160: Try Singapore. This can be accessed at Henesys by talking to Spinel. This is good because you will need your Ghost Ship Exorcist badge anyways and if you are in Reboot you can TRY MP3 for some mesos (It's so crowded that if you find a map that isn't infested with botters and hackers you will be ksed out anyways).

  • Levels 140-180: Dimensional Invasion PQ is ok XP, the Magnus v. Hilla is the best for leveling out of the 3 final maps (Magnus, Magnus v. Hilla, Blackheart).

  • Levels 180-190: Try some star force maps at Future Hene/Cygnus. Hall of Honor is not what it used to be, but still ok.

  • Levels 190-205: Head over to Future Perion and grind at Mixed Golems. The spawn is very good however you may take a lot of damage from mobs and theres only 1 safe spot (unless you can fly).

  • Levels 205-215: Pick either Deck 1 or Hill 5, both at Scrapyard (Black Heaven).

  • Levels 215-250: Grind at Deck 1 or Maze 5 for the rest of your life.

Guide To The Threads of Fate

After completing the Mushroom Shrine theme dungeon, you can then raise the closeness of a number of NPCs that will allow you to use a skill once you reach a high closeness. To open the Threads of Fate window, you need to click the book icon on the right side of your screen, then click the mushroom shrine, followed up by clicking [Threads of Fate] Unraveling the Threads of Fate.

Talk to the NPCs in this window to gain closeness, and depending on how interesting the conversation is you will earn anywhere from +0-+3 closeness. Talking is limited, so you can't simply talk to them over and over to gain closeness. You must wait 1 full hour to speak to the same NPC. Also in the threads of fate window you can give gifts once daily to receive 3 closeness. You can equip up to 3 of these NPCs to gain stats on your Wings of Fate. Double click the NPCs while in the Threads of Fate window to equip them and their icon will appear in the area below. There are a couple of gifts that I don't know because I haven't unlocked them and JMS translations didn't provide useful info.

Mushroom Shrine Gifts:+3 Closeness daily

+3 Closenesss In Every Conversation:It's important to note that once you reach 50 closeness, talking will no longer give closeness. I will be listing the conversation options in order. The first conversation choice for each NPC will have 2 choices. If you don't get the first choice listed below, press Esc and start the conversation again until you get that option. Can repeat the same conversation hourly.

Adding these as they are found.

After You Reach 50 ClosenessAfter reaching 50 Closeness, your options are limited. You either give daily gifts for 3 closeness or you can do Tengu boss runs (or you can do both). Closeness decays by 3 each day even after you reach 100 closeness. Each Tengu boss run gives 3 closeness to an NPC of your choosing, and you can do it up to 5 times a day. That's 15 closeness per day. Tengu runs take time, though, so it's best to do them with a party. One run for me, without any missed action prompts, takes about 10 minutes. That means it would take 60 minutes or more to max out your daily Tengu runs. I would try to find one or two people to go with you on Tengu runs so that they are finished quickly.

NPC Skills Received at 70 Closeness

Wings of Fate stat combinations from NPCs

The best combinations:All of these effects occur at 100 closeness with all 3 characters. Silver dat ii keygen for mac. Anything lower than 100 closeness will yield a lower stat. Get your desired stat combination below and maintain 100 closeness with the 3 chosen NPCs by giving daily gifts and you're golden.

Special thanks to everyone in the comments section for helping me compile this info! ♥
