   @radicalnip: I’m not sure for GMS v.137 since Ludibrium Maze Party Quest has been revamped quite a number of times (Level requirement: 110 → 30-70 → ??). Merry Christmas!
2. radicalnip December 25, 2015 at 8:04 AM

   where would you place ludi maze pq on?
3. Blizzaga June 8, 2015 at 11:06 PM

   Hey Ayumi, since maplesea has introduced veracent back, can u add the following veracent (bleak hallway) 100-120 , veracent (dimlight ) 130 – 165

   Thanks
   P.S this might be a little late tho…
4. Shade December 22, 2014 at 4:52 AM

   Where would you put bosses on these lists? With the new updates and nerds to various bosses, horntail, zakum, and gollux are pretty good exp. I’d like to see then included in here if possible.

   thanks 🙂

   @Annika: Since MSEA is currently on RED patch, it should be this one MapleStory Training Spots Guide V3 : GMS v.143 – RED (2013-12-04) http://ayumilove.net/best-maplestory-training-spots-guide-v3/
7. Annika July 7, 2014 at 12:24 PM

   Hi~ is this based on the latest update? MSEA has veracent now. could you please include it >< ty

   @Ok: I have disabled one of the ads, let me know if this still persist. It would be helpful if you could provide a screenshot of it happening on your side as I did not encounter this issue. Thanks!

    I was suggested this web site by my cousin. I’m not sure whether this post is written by him as no one else know such detailed
    about my trouble. You are wonderful! Thanks!
11. WhiteMex March 19, 2014 at 11:40 AM

    Just something you might want to add to your training guide:

    60-???: Romeo and Juliet

    Priests and Bishops are loved here because people love the holy symbol for this high experience output quest. I’ve gotten 10-20 levels with characters and there was no holy symbol in the party.
12. Lyphenix December 26, 2013 at 8:48 PM

    Now there’s PQ Entrance through Mirror of Dimension. Easy level even for lv 14X (Drpq, kenta, esc pq…) 10X for ea pq, which means if u do those 3 u do quest 30X. Alot of exp 🙂 After that then maybe u consider these training spots.. Idk never tried ^ yet. =) Glhf~
14. Ayumilove Post authorDecember 24, 2013 at 2:01 PM

    Hi Loco, I used to train at Time Temple around that level range 140-160 since the Future Henesys is crowded with people.
15. Loco December 23, 2013 at 3:52 AM

17. @Ayumilove Maplestory Blog November 5, 2013 at 9:27 PM

    Moon Bunny’s Rice Cakes are a good source of exp! From 30-50 maybe? I used it till 45, then did some quests. I got like ~20% exp each clear!
18. SoR0XaS November 4, 2013 at 9:44 PM

    There’s no level cap for PQs afaik.
19. Ayumilove Post authorNovember 4, 2013 at 2:20 PM

    Hi ShengHunter, is there any level cap for Bunny PQ?
20. ShengHunter November 3, 2013 at 7:36 PM

    Dear Ayumi,now Bunny PQ can do it at Lv30
21. Hohoe November 2, 2013 at 7:22 PM

27. Summer October 31, 2013 at 4:15 PM

28. Ayumilove Post authorOctober 22, 2013 at 10:01 PM

    Hi kjh07, OppaDen is right about the selkie Jr is level 155 and 156 in GMS. They have messed up the monster levels, and now some monsters level is not sync between MSEA and GMS.
29. Ayumilove Post authorOctober 22, 2013 at 10:00 PM

    Hi Drekenguard, one of the free gear is MapleStory Anniversary suit. I have a full suit, each of them giving a total 50% stats for my Xenon, making it super OP lol. But MapleStory Nexon decided to nerf them in GMS v142 patch Dawnviel 🙁
30. Ayumilove Post authorOctober 22, 2013 at 9:59 PM

    Hi DragoonKnightl, in Neo City, you can raid mini-bosses there. This will help rake tons of EXP especially the robotic boss near the harbor.
31. Ayumilove Post authorOctober 22, 2013 at 9:58 PM

    Hi qenster, could you be more specific on which part of this guide does not work for you?
32. Ayumilove Post authorOctober 22, 2013 at 9:58 PM

    Hi sekjw, sorry for the late reply! I have updated the old training spot link with this one!
33. OppaDen October 2, 2013 at 6:14 PM

    @Kjh07 i believe u are from MSEA, the Lvl 90, 93 version is MSEA while GMS is 155 and 156 🙂 so for GMS its an available choice for grinding
34. kjh07 October 2, 2013 at 9:21 AM

    Slimy, Selkie Jr. are monster below lvl100, how can it be a training spot for lvl 140 and above?
35. wayne September 18, 2013 at 8:20 PM

    Neo City Quest Line
    i trained from lv125 to lv15x
    after finish the quest and reopen maple to keep repeat the quest
    quite good exp and also sand to sell
36. DragoonKnightl September 16, 2013 at 4:20 AM

    ‘125-135 : Neo City Quest Line’

    I only got two levels from the q line, do you mean to get the next few levels killing the monsters inside?
37. Drekenguard September 14, 2013 at 6:29 AM

    Could there be any gear guide? I’m kinda curious of the good and free gear you can get. I haven’t been following Maplestory in a while so it would help me a lot.
38. sekjw August 17, 2013 at 6:04 AM

    you should post this page to quick link at side bar

    Hi Jason, currently GMS and MSEA.
43. Jason August 12, 2013 at 8:48 AM

    Hey im sorry to ask this but what world do u play in and which ms (gms,emsor kms etc)
44. Ayumilove Post authorAugust 11, 2013 at 11:34 PM

    Hi LumisMaple, Romeo and Juliet Party Quest (RnJ PQ) rewards lots of experience points. Be sure that your party members are equal in level. If most of the party member levels are very high, the monster level are also high since they take the average level of all party members level.
45. LumisMaple August 11, 2013 at 2:03 AM

    Hello im a level 90 luminous I heard that R and J pq has a lot of good EXP I have done it once but my Luminous keeps on dying so my question is that does Mu Lung give better EXP then R and J?
46. SK August 2, 2013 at 5:05 PM

    Hmm wondering for the possibility of a leeching guide

    Face this situation :

    Mushroom Kingdom + Kerning Square can last through lvl 30 – 45 (est)
    Dun really like the Golden Sand long series of quest and slow exp gain
    Unless it is character with fast attack/mobility like Xenon, character having slower attack (e.g fire mage) will take time to up lvl 50 on kerning square

    Not sure what happen to ppl going Nett pq. It seems a ghost town where u have to wait more than 10 min to gather ur party. Perhaps all going to taeyoon cooking class ba…

    pardon this lazy bum who opt leeching =x
47. Grooty August 1, 2013 at 4:31 AM

    This is great!
    Although I’m not sure where to train if there’s multiple suggestions…
    Could you make a short version like you did in your old one with all recommended spots?

    Thanks!
48. MSEAplayer July 24, 2013 at 8:21 PM

    Hi ayumi, can you have a training guide for MapleSEA?
49. Ayumilove Post authorJuly 24, 2013 at 7:40 AM

    Hi PhantomNBuster, Kaiser does both train and quest.
50. PhantomNBuster July 23, 2013 at 9:08 PM

    Is Kaiser supposed to train or do quests?
51. Ayumilove Post authorJuly 17, 2013 at 10:44 PM

    Hi Rob, its time for exploration! Explore around MapleStory and share the places you feel that its good 🙂 Usually hardcore players would be boss raiding all day and selling their boss services at a premium price to make up for the losses in raid losses.
52. Rob July 17, 2013 at 4:09 PM

    Level 150-160 doesn’t have as many options, do they? Probably the slowest training in my character’s ‘lifetime’
53. Ayumilove Post authorJuly 17, 2013 at 8:08 AM

    Added Henesys Party Quest – Moon Bunny Rice Cake AND Orbis Party Quest – Remnant of the Goddess into the training list!
54. snowball July 15, 2013 at 12:25 PM

    you can get hwabis at blood harps i got 3 sets while doing ua quest for 3 hours and crockys are useless now
55. Zeldoba July 10, 2013 at 3:17 PM

    Hey, do u know there didn’t have Monster Park Extreme anymore, can u like make another Training Guide for Australia. Thank you 😀
56. terry31 July 10, 2013 at 11:48 AM

    Hi Ayumi,

    I’m a lvl ~100 F/P mage and I’m wondering if there are any good places to farm money (scrolls, drops, etc). I could really use some advice in this department because my funding is really really low 🙁
57. snowball July 8, 2013 at 7:06 AM

    monster park extreme isnt working for me in gms
58. Jamal Crawford July 7, 2013 at 11:38 PM

    Hey, I’m a level 91 Xenon.

    To get steelys, you can either train on Fire Drakes, or for ilbis, kill mushmom.
59. Kanna Karma July 6, 2013 at 1:40 PM

    where do you trian at stronghold cant see anyone
60. JadfihfTheMerc July 5, 2013 at 6:29 PM

    I’ve noticed they drop frequently in the level 135-160 Monster Park. However, I can only get them to drop on the security level.
61. RICKYYYY July 5, 2013 at 4:59 PM

    Do you know where is the best place to hunt for steely throwing knife and ilbi throwing stars
62. kadykunde July 3, 2013 at 6:21 AM

    also, you can train on ludi PQ, it gives AMAZING exp at level 50-75, also very easy and fast
63. Jorden July 3, 2013 at 1:33 AM

    Hey I was wondering where should I train at level 120 because I can go in to neo city when I’m 125 so yeah
64. Ayumilove Post authorJuly 1, 2013 at 6:42 AM

    Hi John Hong, its based on your job. Check out the previous training spot guide to figure out which NPC to look out. For example, at level 18 Pirate, talk to the Pirate Instructor in Nautilus to start the Level 18 Hat Quest. The stat is pretty remarkable and can be used up to Level 60-70, thats when you get Tangyoon’s Hat and Overall Armor that gives some weapon attack bonuses. I’m not sure if GMS has implemented that quest yet.
65. john hong July 1, 2013 at 1:29 AM

    where do you get the free hat? which job instructor?
66. Ayumilove Post authorJune 30, 2013 at 4:12 PM

    Hi Hongkiat, I use to train in Tangyoon Cooking Class PQ from Level 80 to 90 and then I keep performing party quest (Romeo and Juliet + King Pixie PQ)
67. hongkiat June 30, 2013 at 1:13 PM

    Hey ayumi
    I’m from the maplesea server and where should I train my demon slayer level 82?
    My damage is pretty low btw
68. vartox June 29, 2013 at 11:43 PM

    Hi, Im 183lv night lord with 7,5k hp which means im dying in HoH by 1 hit sometimes. It’s unavaliable for me me to grind there cause im losing experience faster than i gain it 😛 Where do you suggest to grind instead of HoH? I would be very gratefull for any tip 🙂
69. Ayumilove Post authorJune 27, 2013 at 6:40 PM

    Hi Nikola, you can train at Twisted Jesters at Haunted Mansion. If you can kill them in 1 hit, you will level pretty quickly. Also, you can also train at Monster Park Extreme if you have not exceeded your daily limit of 5 entrance. Another would be Tangyoon Cooking Class. I’m not sure if that was implemented yet in GMS, but I use to do cooking party quest in MSEA from level 75 to 90, each round gives approximately 95% of MAX EXP and starts to reduce to approximately 70% of MAX EXP.
70. Nikola June 27, 2013 at 2:03 PM

    Hey Ayumi! I’m a level 75 unfunded Jett.. Where should I train?
71. Ayumilove Post authorJune 27, 2013 at 6:10 AM

    Hi Mickgi, it is still possible for me as I don’t rely on popular training spots to level up quickly like the ones that they nerf such as Twisted Jesters 😉 Most of my new characters do not use link skills and start from scratch (0 meso or newbie equips).
72. Mickgi June 27, 2013 at 2:26 AM

    are you sure we can still lvl up to lv120 in 3 days with the unleashed patch?
73. Ayumilove Post authorJune 26, 2013 at 11:26 PM

    Thanks JadfihfTheMerc for your quick feedback 🙂
74. Ayumilove Post authorJune 26, 2013 at 11:24 PM

    Hi Mickgi, do you mean Hayato the Katana user? I have first-hand experience with the job and boy, they do drink MP like water compared to regular Warrior or Magicians. They can dished out super lightning-fast attacks at the cost of high MP (Magic/Mana Point) consumption.
75. Ayumilove Post authorJune 26, 2013 at 10:18 PM

    Hi Astro, you can check all the classes for GMS at the right-side of this website. It has skill build for all.
76. Astro June 26, 2013 at 2:40 PM

    Also do you have a list of all the classes out for GMS?
77. Mickgi June 26, 2013 at 2:20 PM

    Wow thank you Ayumi its the best trainin guide for the unleashed update on internet atm! Sooo helpful!! Btw I just restarted playing 2 days ago and I was wondering when the new katana class will be available? never maybe? :/ Anyway, Im lucky that I created a kaiser lv40 before quiting >.< Also the job reward free hat it is for all classes and we have to completed all the quests until lv39?? :S Thanx alot
78. JadfihfTheMerc June 26, 2013 at 8:52 AM

    The third portal is available to anyobe level 160+
79. JadfihfTheMerc June 26, 2013 at 5:28 AM

    Yes there are four portals. The first portal level requirements are 60-95, the second is 135-165, the third is 160+. As for monster park extreme I forget the level requirement. I know for sure that level 83 can enter.
80. Ayumilove Post authorJune 25, 2013 at 11:45 PM

    Hi JadfihfTheMerc, the monster park has changed a little right? I remembered there are 4 portals, each has different level requirement range. Do you know them? So I can add them into the list above.
81. Ayumilove Post authorJune 25, 2013 at 11:40 PM

    Hi Peep, thanks for the suggestion on Kulan Field 3. I have added into the list.
82. Peep June 25, 2013 at 5:19 AM

    How about kulan field 3 for 60-70
83. JadfihfTheMerc June 25, 2013 at 1:47 AM

    Hey Ayumi, great guide. I recomend training 135-140 at Monster park. The exp from what I noticed isn’t something that was nerfed in GMS.
84. Astro June 24, 2013 at 11:53 PM

    Wooh thanks needed this been playing MS since it came out and quit like in August and decided to come back :p
85. Ayumilove Post authorJune 24, 2013 at 8:50 PM

    Hi Alice, monsters residing in MP3 is above Level 150. For those who are strong and deals multiple hits per enemy are able to train there effectively. This for GMS (Global MapleStory) I’m not sure whether MapleSEA has changed their monster levels.
86. alice June 24, 2013 at 4:32 PM

    why recommend MP3 at lv 140…??
87. Robert June 24, 2013 at 1:50 AM

    For 90-110, is EPQ the only one you recommend? Which other pqs are good for leveling up quickly?
88. Tsurugi June 23, 2013 at 2:58 PM

    I cannot stress how amazing the Evolution World (Evolving System for us in MSEA) in delivering you to the next level — One full round literally gives you a level’s worth of experience! Hey Ayumi, is there any chance that you’ll be getting a hold of a list of most of the cores there? Thanks!
89. Vince June 23, 2013 at 8:42 AM

    thx for explaning about the evolution but what do u mean neo temple and those other places?
90. Ayumilove Post authorJune 23, 2013 at 7:06 AM

    Hi Lucas883, the training spot for Level 30-37 is positioned under 37-40. I have corrected it by moving it up. Its the same place where we trained which is Mushroom Kingdom Quests and/or Kerning Square quest.
91. Ayumilove Post authorJune 23, 2013 at 6:54 AM

    Hi Vince, Evolution World is another training place for players Level 100 and above. You need to complete some quests (aka requirements) to enter Evolution World, similarly to Aliens where you a few quests before they allow you in. Once you train your character to Level 100 or higher, accept the quest where it pops up on the left side of your screen (light-bulb or something). Once you complete the quest, you will be transported to the Resistance Hideout and receive a quest from Claudine who wants to get to know you better. Next, you will teleported to Gerlimer’s Hideout where you meet Orca, Lotus and Gerlimer. I won’t be explaining the story though to avoid spoiling the suspense. You will finally be brought back to resistance hideout again. Click the Dimension Portal and select Evolution World. Complete all the pre-request in that area. You can enter Evolution World 5 times a day and can camp there 30 minutes per round/game. Check the video above on the Evolution World introduction.
92. Lucas883 June 23, 2013 at 4:10 AM

    Ayumilove, u forgot to add a training spot from level 30-37
93. Vince June 22, 2013 at 11:38 PM

    What is evolution world
    ?
94. Ayumilove Post authorJune 22, 2013 at 6:09 PM

    Hi Robert, I’m not sure why the Monster Park Extreme is closed. Perhaps the developers are working something on them? Some GMS players are able to get into the park and train.
95. Ayumilove Post authorJune 22, 2013 at 6:05 PM

    Hi Ivan, Monster Park should be available for GMS. Have you tried it out yet?
96. Ivan June 22, 2013 at 5:31 PM

    Monster park is not available ayumi, what is this.
97. Robert June 22, 2013 at 9:43 AM

    I’m sorry i meant to say my thunder breaker is at level 40 not 140.
98. Robert June 22, 2013 at 9:42 AM

    It says to go to monster park levels 40-250, however my thunder breaker right now is at 140 and the only map that comes close to 40 is the level 60 map. And for some reason monster park extreme is closed.
99. Ayumilove Post authorJune 22, 2013 at 5:29 AM

    Thanks AdenNeda for your feedback, are there other players training there as well apart from Bishops.
100. AdenNeda June 22, 2013 at 4:40 AM

     I still like MP3 (Mysterious Path 3), though the enemies are much harder now. My Bishop is lvl138 and training there, gaining about 4k exp a kill (+additional 2k from holy symbol). The area has the same amazing spawn rate it’s always had so experience comes quickly.
101. Ayumilove Post authorJune 22, 2013 at 4:22 AM

     Hi Alvin Kim, GMS has boost aliens HP, defense and attack and decreases the amount of EXP by half. Therefore it does not make Alien a recommended place to grind unless you do not have other place to go to. They nerfed all the monsters in LHC, so you do not get much experience like last time. However, it would be easier for one to solo each monsters there since their stat is similar to an Alien Cog/Miner.

     Here is the stat of an Alien Cog:
     Level: [95 → 105]
     HP: [55,000 → 75,000]
     MP: [2600 → 3000]
     EXP: [3000 → 1495]
     Physical Attack: [827 → 1059]
     Magical Attack: [781 → 1097]
     Knockback: [1100 → 1300]

     Here is the stat of an Alien Miner:
     Level: [95 → 105]
     HP: [55,000 → 75,000]
     MP: [2600 → 3000]
     EXP: [3000 → 1495]
     Physical Attack: [782 → 1059]
     Magical Attack: [805 → 1097]
     Knockback: [1100 → 1300]

     Crocky the Gatekeeper @ LHC
     Level: 115
     HP: [7,400,000 → 95,000]
     MP: [250,000 → 3000]
     EXP: [48,376 → 1797]
     Physical Attack: [1654 → 1495]
     Magical Attack: [1500 → 1454]
     Knockback: [3500 → 1500]
     PDRate: [20 → 10]
     MDRate: [20 → 10]

     Bearwolf
     Level: 122
     HP: [9,600,000 → 109,000]
     MP: [360,000 → 4000]
     EXP: [52,654 → 1996]
     Physical Attack: [2279 → 1956]
     Magical Attack: [2035 → 2010]
     Knockback: [3500 → 1800]
     PDRate: [20 → 10]
     MDRate: [20 → 10]
102. Ayumilove Post authorJune 22, 2013 at 4:16 AM

     Hi Anzu, as Alvin Kim replied, Twisted Jester is easy to train on when your skill does multiple hits (3 or more hits) so it compensate the amount you miss. Jobs that can perform multiple hits are Kaiser, Aran, Kanna. Most of the Adventurer skills could not perform that many hits until they receive their Reorganization Update which makes them on par with the rest of the new jobs. You can also consume Accuracy potion to temporarily boost up your accuracy.
103. Ryn June 22, 2013 at 3:30 AM

     where is Evolution World, Golden Temple?? and how much exp does it give and where in patheon do u get exp for my lvl 112 hayato
104. Luinon June 22, 2013 at 3:06 AM

     Everyone who is asking why did she quit LHC, Aliens, MP3, etc. Has an answer: Nexon made that they stop the exp and now they just give a little bit of exp. Going to those places just have sense if you will do a quest :/
105. Alvin Kim June 22, 2013 at 1:14 AM

     @Anzu

     Actually you can hit them at lvl 50. If you are playing a class that hits multiple times like Kanna or Aran, they’re actually very good exp. Since you won’t be hitting them very often at lower levels, I would recommend training on Jesters in the Toy Room at lvl 50. Until Mplestory Unleashed, I have trained in the Toy Room from 50-60/70 with all my chars.

     It says Twisted Jester 50-53, isn’t that a little bit low level to even hit them?
