Outlaw guide
Mobile gunner for long horizontal lanes. A practical v83 route from beginner through the fourth-job advancement.
Where to level until 70
Long, flat lanes maximize Invisible Shot. Chronos, Mu Lung dummies, and Ghost Ship 2 fit the class well.
| 1–10 | Maple Island questsFinish the beginner quests and leave once your first advancement is available. Magicians advance at level 8. |
|---|---|
| 10–20 | Henesys Hunting Ground or local town mobsSlimes, Orange Mushrooms, Pigs, and Green Mushrooms are simple early targets. |
| 21–30 | Kerning PQ or Ant TunnelUse Kerning PQ when a party is active; Horny and Zombie Mushrooms are the dependable solo route. |
| 30–50 | Carnival PQ or Victoria/Ludibrium mobsCPQ is fast when populated. Wild Boars, Jr. Wraiths, Chronos, and Stone Golems are reliable fallbacks. |
| 51–70 | Ludi Maze/Orbis PQ or dense solo mapsForest of Golem, Drakes, Coolie Zombies, Mu Lung dummies, and Ghost Ship 2 all work. Pick a map you can clear without downtime. |
MapleVerse runs boosted EXP, with another 2× from Premium. Move on whenever clear speed drops; PQ choices depend on finding a party.
What skills to pump
Define the path
Invisible Shot 1 → Gun Mastery 5 → Booster → Mastery → Invisible Shot → Recoil Shot → Wings → Booster → Blank Shot; Grenade gets the remainder.
First third-job priorities
Start and max Burst Fire, then Ice Splitter. Add one-point summon/mark utility, then Flamethrower, Octopus, and Homing Beacon.
This is a practical priority order, not the only viable build. “Max” means take the skill to its v83 cap; prerequisites still apply.
Stats to pump and equipment
DEX is primary and STR secondary. Cap STR when equipment allows; funded STRless keeps 4 base and uses gear to meet gun requirements. Keep bullets stocked and prioritize weapon attack.
Simple rule: choose the next weapon you want to wear, meet only its secondary-stat requirement, and put the rest into your main stat. Low-stat and statless builds trade convenience for funding.
Where to change jobs
- 1st jobAt level 10 with 20 DEX, meet Kyrin in the Navigation Room of the Nautilus.
- 2nd jobAt level 30, return to Kyrin and choose the matching trial. Brawlers enter map 108000502; Gunslingers enter 108000501. Defeat OctoPirates with the trial skill and collect 15 trial items, then report back to Kyrin.
- 3rd jobAt level 70 with earlier SP assigned, meet Pedro in El Nath’s Chief’s Residence. Return to Kyrin, defeat Shadow Kyrin through the pirate Door of Dimension, and exchange the Black Charm for the Necklace of Strength. Return to Pedro, complete the Holy Stone quiz at Holy Ground at the Snowfield, then bring back the Necklace of Wisdom.
The third job follows your second-job branch automatically. MapleVerse’s current Holy Stone script does not consume a Dark Crystal, unlike original-era guides.
