SlumsMS

In-game guidebook

The text of the guide book every new character gets (ETC tab, double-click). Two pages show at a time in game.

1. What is SlumsMS?
SlumsMS is a v83 world built on MapleRoot: custom jobs and skills, rebirths, the Arcane River and Grandis maps, a 5th tier for every class.

On top of that the towns are alive. Hundreds of regulars train, trade, chat, run party quests and come and go through the day.
Good to know
- One world, Bera, 5 channels.
- The TRADE button takes you to the hub, Base of Roots.
- The SHOP button opens the cash shop in a window.
- Day, night and weather change on outdoor maps.

2. Rates
EXP 3x Meso 10x
Drop 4x Boss drop 3x

Quest mesos follow the meso rate. NPC shop prices are normal, so potions and stars are cheap for you.

Party play and party quests give bonus EXP.

Type @rates or @check to see your own rates in game.
After a rebirth your EXP rate changes:
- No rebirth: 3x
- 1st rebirth: 3x
- 2nd rebirth: 2x
- 3rd rebirth: 1x

The numbers on this page can change between updates. @rates always shows the real ones.

3. Base of Roots and the FM
Base of Roots is the main hub. The TRADE button takes you there. The Job Master, the rebirth NPC, the warper and storage are all in it.

The classic Free Market is still here: use its portal in the hub, or the FM portal in any town. Leaving the FM takes you back where you came in.
In the Free Market you'll find player shops and the town's merchants. Their prices are on the shop sign; buy as you would from anyone.

Fredrick holds what your hired merchant didn't sell.

Talk to the Job Master to advance. No quests.

1st job: level 10 (Magician 8)
2nd job: level 30
3rd job: level 70
4th job: level 120

Cygnus Knights get a 4th job too. A Beginner can also become a Super Beginner at level 10.
MapleRoot changed many skills: new 4th job attacks, more lines and targets, and some old skills removed (boosters, Steal, Big Bang and others).

Warriors are sword or spear only.

6. Rebirths
At level 200 you can be reborn (up to 3 times). You start again at level 1 as a Beginner, Noblesse or Legend, and keep your past jobs' skills.

Talk to Wyatt the Reborn with an Essence Stone:
1st: Blue 2nd: Red 3rd: Black
Stones are made from:
Blue: Zakum Diamond + Nine Spirit's Egg
Red: Rock of Time + Von Leon's Seal
Black: Cygnus Circlet + Cygnus Knight Emblem

Rebirths open maps:
1: Lion King's Castle
2: Twilight Perion
3: Grandis and Arcane River

Back to Contents
7. The 5th tier
Every 4th job has a 5th tier with four new skills.

You need:
- your 4th job,
- 3 rebirths,
- World's Engine (used up).

Then talk to the Job Master.
World's Engine comes from the quest Magnus the Tyrant!: level 200, defeat Magnus, then report to Wyatt the Reborn.

A Super Beginner at level 120 with 3 rebirths and World's Engine can become a Synth Master.

8. The town's regulars
Bera is busy. Its regulars train on the maps for their level, ride the boats, sell in the FM, shout on megaphones and drift in and out through the day.

Some keep shops, run the gacha, deal blackjack or host games in Henesys. Most are happy to chat.
They remember you. Party, help, trade and fame them and they become friends; KS them or be rude and they become rivals.

Friends sometimes give gifts. See chapter 13.

Back to Contents
9. Talking to people
Say someone's name (or part of it) in chat. They answer in a chat bubble.

After that they keep listening to you for about a minute, so you don't have to repeat the name. Walk away, change maps or talk to someone else and they stop.
Things to ask:
<name> party - if they say yes, send the invite.
<name> where do u train
<name> follow - a party member comes with you.
<name> how much for <item> - buy and haggle.

Double-click someone for their menu. You can whisper them too.
10. Megaphones and @quiet
Megaphones carry big news: boss kills, rare drops, party quests forming.

Too noisy? Only for you:
@quiet megaphones
@quiet bots - hide the regulars' chatter
@quiet all
@quiet off

Real players and GM notices always show.
People you are talking to or partied with still show when their chatter is hidden.

The setting lasts until the server restarts.

13. Friends, rivals, romance
Every regular has a feeling about you. Party, buffs, heals, trades, gifts and fame make friends: they greet you, invite you and may send a gift.

KS, taking drops or rude chat make rivals: trash talk and a few stolen mobs. Grudges fade in days.
@settings - switch it all with a click.
@botdrama off - no rivals for you.
@romance on - they may flirt and date you (off by default). Marry in Amoria.

Add them as buddies. Ten bot guilds recruit and go to war: @guildwar.

@price <item> - what it really sold for this week.
Up to 8 regulars keep shops in FM rooms 1-12 on channels 1-3.

To buy, ask: "how much for the work gloves". To sell, invite them to trade. Haggle in chat; friends pay less.

Shops pay a 3% tax on sales.

Bounces: Thieves and Night Walkers keep the strong Ninja and Vertical Bounce. Everyone else gets a Flash Jump-sized one. Ninja Bounce works only in the air.
