NPC Creation of maplestroy

All forms of item creation have a couple of major things in common. There are the following common things to do:

1) Finding out what materials are needed to make what you wish to make.

2) Collecting the required materials. The method needed to collect the required materials may be different between the different methods of item creation. This will be explained in more detail below.

3) Collecting any optional materials, if available. Many times you can collect extra items to add additional bonuses to equipment. The bonuses follow the possible bonuses available through scrolling.

4) Going to the proper NPC or using the proper skill.

5) Following the directions required to make the equipment. Things are usually pretty simple after this point.

The fact you need to talk to a specific NPC (non-player character) in order to make a particular piece of equipment is the main similiarity to the three kinds of NPC creation. For the sake of this article, they'll be named event NPC, itcg/cash shop NPC and regular NPC creation. The reason for seperating the 3 kinds of NPC creation is because of the methods used to collect the required items.

Event Equipment creation, as the title suggests, are connected to short time events that happen every so often in Maplestory. The following usually apply to event based equipment creation.

1) The NPCs are usually specifically created for the event and are only available during the event.

2) The required items are available only during the event. Sometimes they can be collected from any monster, and sometimes they are available from a particular map and with special monsters.

3) Some Event equipment creations are also cash shop item creations as well, but it is not always the case.

Itcg/cash shop NPC equipment creation requires you to either find the required items from other players if they are tradable, or to purchase something with real money. The NPC you talk to will likely be the same for any item that is created for the particular set or event associated with the equipment. Cash shop Item creation is most often a kind of event equipment creation. The reason it is kept separate is only because it costs money to use.

Many ITCG (Internet Trading Card Game Currently only for Maplestory Global) cards have special codes on the physical cards to redeem in game for either equipment, useable items or "parts" used to make equipment. The code redeeming section is in the cash shop. To make various equipment with the "parts" items, you often have to complete a "quest" and talk to a couple NPCs to make the desired equipment. The NPC you need to talk to will likely be different, depending on the itcg set you have the parts for.

Regular NPC creation only requires drops that can be found from various monster drops at any time. In most cases the class specific kind you wish to make can be made in the town the job class starts in.
