Right away at level 10 you’re gonna want to buy the entire level 10 set, it doesn’t matter which color, mainly because they all do the same thing and don’t give any stat boosts. Plus at this low of a level, they’d hardly make a difference anyway maplestory powerleveling. Personally I like the red set of gear, but you know, it doesn’t really matter. You’re gonna want to grab a garnier right away, and subis will do fine if you haven’t funded your character. Even if you have funding, subis wont make much of a difference at this level.
At level 15 upgrade to the dark set of gear. It’s not the most attractive set, but why not change up clothing. Either way, you still get a really cool hat, in my opinion at least. The height increasing shoes don’t need to be changed either, but meh, if you want the extra def, go with your way. The level 15 claw is an okay grab. The mithril titans not only improve your attacking speed (Which is the most important), but they also improve your weapon defense, and obviously your attack power.
Level 20. Ahh, the famous Pao gear. It’s really great-looking stuff, get it. Preferably the dark set, since you’ll get some nifty luck and MP bonuses. The green hat for the set also gives 5 MP, so you can add that in there too. The other gear is nice too, but you’ll be neading that black top for the luck bonus. Pick any shoe you want, too. It’s all good. Buy or craft an Adamantium Igor, as well. It matches the gear nicely, and you could stand a new weapon.
Hmm, level 25, a debated set of gear for this level. Most people think that your level 25 Top is really ugly since it’s pretty much two straps of leather, but I don’t think so. Maybe I’m just weird, I don’t know. If you really want to skip it though, that’s fine, but I think the level 30 gear is worse, so I usually skip that. You can at least get the pants for the set, though. I really like them, and the Dark Brown Sneak Pants give a nice luck bonus, and they wont look too bad in conjunction with a Pao top. The set I went for at this level was the entire Dark Brown set, aside from the hat, which we’ll get to shortly. Firstly though, we’ve got to worry about our claw. The Meba. Honestly, you can’t skip this claw. Infact, you should scroll this claw with seven 100% scrolls, which can be bought at the Kerning Pharmacy. You can often buy prescrolled ones and save a bunch of maplestory mesos, though. Why are you scrolling it? This is your fastest claw. It’s attack isn’t the normal “Fast”, it’s “Faster”. Yeah, it’s a huge difference and it’ll blow your mind later if you goof around with one and have a few points into booster. Now, for the hat. Buy a brown bamboo hat. It compliments the Sneak set really well, and it gives an amazing 3 LUK. You’ll use this hat till level 40 along with the claw. =P Finally, at level 26, buy a pair of whitebottom height increasing shoes. They’re really cool height increasing shoes, yep. I prefer Pink with my sneak set, for some reason, but a lot of people would debate that. Just pick a shoe, it’s not worth crafting one since you get your level 30 shoe for free.
Speaking of the level 30 shoe, let’s go over how you’ll acquire it. I’m not going to go into an asinine amount of detail about it, but in order to get the level 30, shoe find Nella in Kerning City. Do all of her quests, there are 2 sets of quests. One designed for level 15 people; the last one in this quest will give you a glove. The second set of quests will yield your level 30 shoe, silver chain boots. There are 3 quests for level 15, and 3 quests for level 25. Yeah, it’s a pain doing them alll, but the result isn’t only the height increasing shoes and gloves. You’ll also get a lot of potions, which you can use, and they’ll save you a bunch of money.
So now, the level 30 set. I really hate the main gear for this level. It’s just not well made. At least with the Sneak set we had an idea going, with this set… you’re just an ugly mass of skintight armor. Please skip this set, for the sake of humanity. If you don’t… prepare to be ugly for 5 levels, I guess if you’re basically about stats, you’ll like it though. It’s definately an improvement in defense, that’s it though. Another option, instead of the Sneak set, or the hideous Stealer (level 30) set, is the Sauna Robe. Sometimes you’ll see people who are level 50 using these Robes, that’s because there are Scrolls which add DEX to Overall Armor, and these people will scroll as much dex as they can into their robe, and then not add any points into DEX for a while. This way, they still meet the requirements for weapons, but have lots of extra points into LUK. That’s the off-dex build, but I don’t suggest doing it at all, especially if you’r
