MapleStory has had many quality-of-life updates over the years,

and I wanted to share 2 of my favorites.

Scheduler

There is a lot to keep up with in MapleStory: daily quests, bosses, Extreme Monster Park, Culvert, Epic Dungeon, Legion quests, and more.

My memory is not the best, so I often forget a few things and end up missing them.

To keep track, I made a text file on my desktop called “Maple To-Dos,” like this,

and would often write down everything I needed to do in MapleStory, then refer to it as I worked through my Maple chores.

Then MapleStory introduced the Scheduler,

which is divided into daily content, weekly content, and boss content.

● Daily Content

This covers everyday MapleStory activities, including Monster Park and daily quests.

● Weekly Content

Weekly content includes Extreme Monster Park, Epic Dungeon, Arcane Symbol weekly quests, guild content, and more.

● Boss Content

This section includes every boss you can fight in MapleStory and lets you choose the difficulty for each one.

● Reward Points

The Reward Points section lets you claim all the Reward Points you have earned from defeating bosses in one go.

By checking just the content I want to track, I can put together my own Scheduler like this,

and it has become useful enough that I check it as soon as I launch MapleStory.

Skill Sequence

My key bindings before Skill Sequence was added

As a Hoyoung player, I have a lot of skills to activate,

so whenever I went bossing, I would find myself scrambling to cast them all like this,

often getting hit and killed by the boss or making mistakes by pressing the wrong skill.

You might wonder why I did not just bind the boss and then burst,

but the bind would expire while I was still casting my skills,

which is about the worst situation to be in against a mobile boss like Lucid.

So I would set up my summons first and then bind the boss,

but Lucid usually would not move into that area, leaving me to burst with some of my skills going to wasteㅋㅋㅠ

I was losing a lot of damage, and whenever a new skill was added, I would run short of room for key bindings,

so there were several issues I was trying to work around...

Then MapleStory introduced Skill Sequence.

I can group the skills I want into a Skill Sequence like this,

then assign it to a key and press that key to activate the skills automatically.

Not having to press each skill individually makes things much more convenient,

and activating them takes far less time, so now I have plenty of time even when I bind first and then use my skills.
