It allows Explorers to switch jobs in their class by paying a certain amount of mesos, which increases based on the character's level as well as the number of times the character have previously used the Open Advancement system as an alternative, players can use Job Advancement Coins (obtained via special events), which will take priority over the meso cost. The Open Advancement system was introduced during Part 1 of the RED update. They also disregard the attack speed of Pole Arm weapons, granting them all the same speed.Ĭitizen is a special beginner class, they were born in Edelstein, and they become a Resistance after making the job advancement.A Hero wields a Sword or an Axe and focuses on gaining Combo orbs, boosting their damage and allowing for use of special attacks to debuff their enemies.Ī Paladin wields a Sword or a Mace and uses Elemental properties to boost their attacks and reduce damage taken from enemies.Ī Dark Knight wields a Spear or a Polearm and fights alongside the Evil Eye, a spirit of darkness that supports allies and pushes the Dark Knight's power to its limits.

It is hard to level up as a perma-beginner since a majority of quests are job-restricted, and it is harder to take down most monsters than other characters. Their build is similar to that of a Warrior's so they rely mostly on melee weapons, but they will also never hit as high as most warriors. However, disadvantages to being a perma-beginner include having less HP and MP (Health and Mana Points), lack of skills, and very limited access to equipment. They get several perks, including cheaper taxi rides, no EXP-loss upon death, and plenty of respect. Permanent Beginners, also known as perma-beginners, are Beginners who choose not to make a job advancement. They do this for a variety of reasons, the main one being that it is a challenge to take a Beginner that far. Though Beginners are not considered one of the "main" character classes, some people choose to remain as a Beginner past the first, second, or even third job advancements. At level 10, Beginners may make the first job advancement and become either a Warrior, Magician, Bowman, Thief, or a Pirate. All new players who are in the category of Explorer start the game as Beginners on Maple Island. Beginner is a character class in MapleStory.
