Starlitsky's Translations 1st Job Skill Information for Maple Story v0.01 last modified: 12/29/2004 Introduction: All information here is translated from: http://maplestory.netgamers.jp/, Since the site i got the information from is japanese, i cannot give any guarentees as to whether the calculations are accurate for GMS. Descriptions of the skills are from http://www.mapleglobal.com Note: For all MP using skills, the MP usage doubles after the mid-point. For your 1st job, it is advisable for all classes to save up points until it is worth the double mp. For example: Leave Magic Claw at lvl 10 until you have 8-10 points saved. Put all those points in at the same time when you do to justify the mp expenditure.
