In MapleStory2, a maid or housemaid or maidservant is a female/male NPC that you buy and hire each month. The maid makes things for you when you order her to make certain item. The items you need in order to let her make stuff requires you to gather mats throughout Victoria Island. Maids are an furniture item that you put into your house and it will come to life. The items that the maid can make differ per specialty they master. There are 5 different specialties.

Maid Specialties

Different tiers of maids

• Maids have the same “tier-system” as the rest of the game.
• You can buy the Mesos variant in Tria, there’s only one tier that is Mesos, the rest is Merit.
• To buy the Merit ones you have to go into the merit shop.
• The different tiers: Common (Mesos), Rare (Merit), Elite (Merit), Excellent (Merit)

The pros and cons of having an Merit maid

• Pro: They require less materials per job.
• Pro: They level up faster.
• Con: They cost merit each month as opposed to the mesos one which costs mesos monthly. The cost per year is quite high. We’re talking up to $100+ for 2 Excellent (Purple) Maids for a full year.
