Maple Island

Maple Island is one of the three major continents in MapleStory, and has three towns. This island is solely for Beginners, and once a player leaves the island, they are not able to return (except in ChinaMS).

The monsters on Maple Island are well-suited for Beginners. These include Snails, Blue Snails, Red Snails, Shrooms, and Orange Mushrooms. Maple Island also has a variety of beginner-level quests.

Mushroom Town
Mushroom Town is a very small town. It serves as a tutorial town for Beginners, and once the player leaves, they cannot return. The tutorial teaches players about the basics of the game, introducing them to concepts like moving, jumping, activating quests, killing monsters, and using potions.

In some versions of the game, Mushroom Town has been replaced by the Mushroom Town Training Camp.

Mushroom Town Training Camp
The Mushroom Town Training Camp is a replacement to Mushroom Town found in some versions of the game. All new characters begin the game here wearing an Apple Suit. As they enter the camp, they are shown short movie clips demonstrating the powers of each class.

The second area in the camp consists of small sets modeled after various towns in the Maple World, including El Nath and Ludibrium. Here, they learn the basics of killing monsters and gathering items for quests.

Once the player finishes the tutorial, they are sent to the regular Maple Island.

Amherst
Amherst is a small, peaceful town that holds true to Maple Island's scenery - grass and mushroom-shaped houses. A few quests are completable here. While here, do Pio's quests. He will give you The Relaxer, a chair that you can sit on anywhere to recover 50 HP every ten seconds. The Relaxer cannot be obtained anywhere else, so it is recommended that players complete the quest to earn the chair.

Southperry
Southperry, like Lith Harbor, is a port town where one may make the irreversible trip to Victoria Island.

Leaving Maple Island
To leave Maple Island, one must be Level 7 and have 150 Mesos. At the far right end of Southperry is a large boat operated by Shanks, who will transport players to Lith Harbor for 150 Mesos. The trip is one-way; players cannot return to Maple Island after leaving.
