Hello, fellow Nexon game fans!

It's 재파민!

I'm a planner through and through—a strong J type—so I plan out each week and stick to my schedule. That goes for gaming, too, so today I'm sharing my daily routine in MapleStory, which I've been playing a lot lately!

Whether you're a Maple newbie wondering where to start or a more experienced Mapler looking for an efficient routine, I hope this helps. Let's get into it!

Attendance Check

When I log in, the very first thing I do is check in. Thanks to Director Kim Chang-seop keeping worthwhile events running even during the off-season, there's a generous selection of items to collect from attendance rewards.

If you're leveling alts like me, or you're a Maple newbie who's just getting started and running short on items, these “one-click rewards” are hard to beat.

Daily Quests

Next up are daily quests. With all that EXP and those Symbol materials up for grabs, I wouldn't want to miss my dailies. They used to feel like tedious chores I “had to do,” but the rewards are so generous now that they've become quests I actually “want to do.”

Getting through them on both my main and my alt takes roughly 10–15 minutes, I'd say.

Daily Gift

After that, I claim my Daily Gift. You need to defeat 300 monsters within your level range to claim it, so you can pick it up after finishing your daily quests.

The Daily Gift rewards have also been revamped, and the lineup is looking good. There's plenty worth picking up, including EXP Coupons, Extreme Growth Potions, Pendants of the Spirit, Black Rebirth Flames, Black Cubes, and White Bonus Potential Cubes.

Grinding and Monster Park

Once that's all done, I run Monster Park, then start grinding. I grind for at least 30 minutes a day, and since I can stay in one spot these days, it's been a comfortable way to build up EXP.

I just hit level 286, so now I'm aiming for 290!

Boss Runs and Monster Park Extreme (Thursday at Midnight)

Finally, I do my boss runs and Monster Park Extreme. These only need to be done 1 time a week, so I tackle them every Thursday at midnight. I like having them out of the way on reset day—it puts my mind at ease—so I've stuck to this routine for over 2 years.

Keeping up used to feel pretty tiring, but with my friends returning to MapleStory lately and so many things becoming more convenient, I'm really enjoying myself. Try building your own routine and have fun with the game!
