What are profession skills?
Profession skills are special skills that any character over Lv. 30 can learn. There is a special map where you can learn the profession skills.
To enter the map, you will need to find the portal that looks like this. ↓
Every major town has a portal like this. In this update it is finally open for access.
When you go through the portal, you will discover the beautiful hometown called Meisterville.
Meisterville is the hometown where you can learn profession skills from different skill masters.
There are five profession skills in MapleStory.
When you are Lv. 30 or higher, you can learn two out of five profession skills from the following masters:
Master of Collecting (Herbalism): Stachel
Master of Alchemy: Karien
Master of Mining: Nobum
Master of Blacksmithing (Equipment production): Eisen
Master of Jewel Crafting (Accessory production): Meltz
When you arrive in Meisterville, you have to speak with Himmel, the head master.
Unfortunately, they force you to choose between something that you maybe might not like. At first, I wanted to learn Blacksmithing and Jewel Crafting, but that is not possible.
You can learn the following combinations:
Herbalism + Alchemy
Mining + Jewel Crafting
Mining + Blacksmithing
In the end I took Mining and Jewel Crafting and it’s really fun so far. If you choose for Mining, you will get a pickaxe from Nobum.
Mining is essential for Jewel Crafting because you need to make plates from ores. The only way I can get ores and crystals is through Mining.
Mining is really fun! Everywhere in Maple World you can find rocks and start mining.
There are many rocks that you can mine.
The bigger the rocks, the better items you find. You see that big purple rock? If you mine that rock, a crystal will drop. It’s so easy~! ^^
The heart-shaped rock is something else.. If you mine the heart-shaped rock, you will get this rock that likes to eat.
The only way to raise this rock is by feeding it equipment that is close to your level. When the rock grows and satisfied, you’ll get a reward. I’m not raising a rock, because you will need to feed it with a lot of equipment.
With Mining you can obtain ores, but you can also make plates, jewels and crystals with it. For example, crafting an adamantium plate costs me 2 adamantium ores and a special ingredient that you can buy in Meisterville.
Sometimes when you are crafting a plate or something else, it might fail… But in return, you will receive some Magic Powder.
Nobum (and other masters) gives you an event quest when you learned the Mining skill. If I can get my Mining to level 7, I will get a golden pickaxe and an upgraded bag to store my ores and plates and other stuff in.
Look how many ores and crystals I got from mining! There’s more in that green bag.
The second profession skill that I learned is Jewel Crafting. This is one amazing skill. Why? With Jewel Crafting you can make these kind of equipment:
Yeah those are some very wanted equips. However, you need to use a recipe for equipment over Lv. 100 to reveal what kind of material you need.
Recipes can be bought in Meisterville but that is really limited. For really good equipment, you will need to find recipes from monsters and bosses.
I got this recipe for a Lv. 110 shoulderpad at Dual Pirates. I can use it and it will show what kind of ingredients I need to craft this shoulderpad.
This shoulderpad adds +8 INT, +4 weapon and magic attack and +36 physical and magic defense.
Top: Himmel is on the left. On the right side, you can buy ingredients from the NPC merchant.
Bottom: the NPC on the left sells Blacksmithing recipes and the NPC on the right sells Alchemy recipes.
I like this profession skill system, but after raising levels of my profession skills I discovered that I need item crystals. Speaking of crystals… The Maker skill has been removed in this update! I have Mining and Jewel Crafting, but those skills cannot make item crystals.
Alchemy can disassemble and fuse items. That means I have to make a mule character and pick Alchemy for that character…
With Alchemy, you can make different kind of potions. Potions that increase HP, MP, AP, attack, accuracy etc.
Alchemists can even make
Giant Potions and potions that transform you into a monster.
When you use a Giant Potion, your size will increase and you will only be able to attack monsters by jumping up and down.
But yes… Alchemists can make item crystals. Do you know what’s even worse? You will need to raise your Alchemy skill if you want to disassemble higher leveled equipment.
Alchemy Lv. 1 : up to level 40 equipment
Alchemy Lv. 2 : up to level 50 equipment
Alchemy Lv. 3 : up to level 60 equipment
Alchemy Lv. 4 : up to level 70 equipment
Alchemy Lv. 5 : up to level 80 equipment
Alchemy Lv. 6 : up to level 90 equipment
Alchemy Lv. 7 : up to level 100 equipment
Alchemy Lv. 8 : up to level 110 equipment
Alchemy Lv. 9 : up to level 120 equipment
Alchemy Lv. 10 : up to level 130 equipment
But there is something that Alchemists can make for other people like us who don’t have Alchemy or are lazy to raise the skill level of Alchemy so we can disassemble.
Alchemists can make a disassembler machine. Everyone can make use of it and disassemble their items to get item crystals.
Today someone created a disassembler machine in channel 1 free market and everyone could disassemble their items up till level 80.
Which means that this player had Alchemy level 5 when he created the machine.
If you choose to learn Alchemy then you must learn Herbalism too.
With Herbalism, you can collect different herbs in Maple World.
When you collect herbs, you can make herb oil which is required for Alchemy to make potions.
If your profession skill is Mining or Herbalism, you will obtain a special bag where you can store your herbs or ores. In the beginning, you will get a bag that has only four slots, but when you further raise your skill level you can expand the amount of slots.
The last profession skill that players can learn is Blacksmithing. I’m going to keep it short for this one. With Blacksmithing you can make your own armor and weapons. You must learn Mining first to learn Blacksmithing. Mining is also essential for Blacksmithing because you need refined jewels to make equipment as a Creator. A player who learns Blacksmithing is called a Creator.
If you no longer wish to continue keeping your current profession skill, then you can unlearn your skill. Keep in mind that once you’ve unlearned a skill, you will have to start from scratch…
There is a limit on how much you can mine, create or collect. Because there is a fatigue system for this profession skill system.
From my experience, my fatigue goes up fast if I have mined a lot rocks. Each rock you mine costs 1 fatigue.
The fatigue depends on the item you want to mine, create or collect. As a Jewelist, crafting a Lv. 50 ring costs me 20 fatigue.
Besides increasing your fatigue, you can also increase your skill efficiency. The only way to raise your skill’s level is by increasing your skill efficiency.
An NPC in Meisterville sells two different fatigue drinks.
The first fatigue drink decreases your fatigue by 10. However, you must pay 1,000,000 mesos.
The second fatigue drink decreases your fatigue by 5. However, you must pay 300,000 mesos.
You can only use 3 fatigue drinks each day. But if you don’t want to spend your meso on these drinks then you don’t have to worry because every hour your fatigue decreases by 5. In Korea your fatigue resets to 0 when it’s midnight.
The profession skill system is attached with another system. The personality system.
What is the personality system?
The personality system is a system where you can raise the levels of six different personalities. Each personality gives you a buff.
You can see your personality status along with the status of your profession skills.
I think I find this the most fun and interesting system of all, especially because of the buffs.
There are six personalities:
Charisma: Increase in PvP damage, Increase in ignoring the monster’s defense and a decrease in EXP when you die (Charisma can be increased by hunting for bosses)
Sense: Increase in MP and an increase in quest EXP (Sense can be increased by collecting herbs)
Insight: Increase in accuracy and avoidability and the ability to find the hidden potential of an item without a magnifying glass (Insight can be increased by mining and by finding the hidden potential of items)
Will: Increase in HP, Increase in physical and magic defense and resistant to statuses (Will can be increased by completing party quests and by gaming time)
Craft: Increase in the success rate of a scroll and an increase in the success rate getting x2 skill efficiency (Craft can be increased by crafting items)
Charm: Increase in a new slot (pocket) and a chance to get a facial expression (Charm can be increased by equipping cash items and when your fame goes up)
When I logged on after the patch went live, I already had Lv. 10 Charm! I have almost over 1100 fame. +_+
Everyday I hunt for bosses to increase my Charisma because a decrease in EXP when you die and an increase in ignoring the monster’s defense is really good.
There is a limit on how much Charisma, Sense, Insight, Will, Craft and Charm you can get. The daily limit is 500.
I always hunt for Dodo in the Temple of Time and Dodo gives 50 Charisma. Since there is a limit of 500 that means I can only kill 10 Dodos.
Look in the image above, you can see that I’m getting +50 Charisma and +42 Charisma. The red text says that I have reached my daily limit. ㅠ.ㅠ
So yeah.. that’s basically the profession skill system and the personality system. This is definitely fun and I recommend every other player in other versions to keep your ores, plates and jewels. You won’t regret it!
