Tips
-In Riena Strait, if you kill an elite monster and “You feel something in the darkness” shows up, farm there until an elite boss spawns.
-Save your Alishan quest bubble to get to Copper Drakes from Riena Strait faster.
-As soon as you’re Level 10, use the Maple Guide to get to Victoria Island (Tab at the top).
-Doing the FriendStory pre-quest will allow you to teleport to Henesys whenever you need to. Use the cellphone in the tab on the left side.
-Do part-time jobs with your mules when you’re done for a chance to get Potential Scrolls, mesos etc.
-Cygnus Knights’ blessing does not have a cooldown like Link Skill transferring. Make one before your mules.
