Lv 1-Forever Bishop guide.

*Still under partial construction. Important sections completed*

Revision 0.02

Welcome to the Lv 1-Forever Bishop Guide. I will explain how to make a good bishop. You may feel free to use other people’s guides, but don’t complain if they mess you up. Feel Free to leave comments on your opinions of SP distribution, or other parts of this guide and I might edit putting your name for the information.
This guide is probably going to be the first guide I’m probably going to write

Stats Distribution

The recommended starting stats if you’re going magician should be 5 STR/4 DEX or 4 STR 4 DEX. If you’re going LUKless, make sure you have enough NX cash or Nexon Points to be able to bring your LUK down to 4.
So you should have the following

STR 4 or 5
DEX 4
INT (Whatever)
LUK (Whatever)

Now, from now on. If you’re normal LUK, add 1 LUK and 4 int every level until you’re sure you don’t need higher level equipment which requires higher levels of LUK. The lower your LUK, the better. Once you don’t need to add LUK, add straight INT until lv 200. If you’re LUKless, just add INT, thats it!

Walkthrough for Lv 1-8

Start off by going through the Mushroom Training Camp, doing all quests possible since they give out potions which you will need later. After getting out of the camp. Make your way over to Todd and begin his quest to kill 10 Green Snails. Use this time to get used to fighting if you’re new by killing 10 Green Snails. After when you get the Quest Completed notice, ignore all other monsters for now and go straight to Mai. You have to do this or you will get too much experience and go over the required level of Job Advancement (If you’re playing the Korean version, you can safely go all out and advance at any level since you will be compensated with all SP when you advance.)

Start all of Mai’s quests since they will get you out of Maple Island faster plus some of them give good rewards. In the Japan version of MapleStory, she has a quest that you have to collect 10 Shroom Spores, 10 Red Snail Shells, and 10 Green Snail shells. The reward of this quest is 100 Red Potions and a Sporty Cap Red (Gives HP) or Sporty Cap Blue (Gives MP). Also if you’re playing the Japan Version of MapleStory, make sure you do the ‘Please Bring This Letter To Lucas’ quest so you can activate a quest that can give you a random work glove (You cannot get the brown work glove from this unfortunately). Also do Pio’s quest so you can get your portable chair. This chair will SAVE many potions if you’re not rushing to level. If you’re not playing Korean MapleStory, make sure you don’t do the quests that require you to kill Orange Mushrooms because it will push you to Level 9 quite quickly.

By the time you leave Maple Island, you should be lv 8 and have at least 11 LUK (4 if LUKless) and as much INT as possible and 250 Mesos. With that in hand, leave Maple Island and arrive at Lith. At Lith, you should quickly head over to Olaf and do ‘A Lesson On Job Advancement’ and make sure you pick the Magician Job. Once you have done that, take the taxi to Ellinia and Advance. If you’re close to lv 9, do the advancement first THEN complete the quest (If you’re in Korean Maple, this doesn’t matter.). With your first SP point, put it into Energy Bolt. If you’re funded, you can take the risk and try going 1 point into Improving MP Recovery first.

Walkthrough for Lv 10-30 (1st Job Advancement)

Now, if you’re funded, make sure you buy optimal equipment, and equip any scrolled items that you might have prepared for your character. If you’re unfunded, sell off all your ETC and only buy the Wooden Wand because at this point, you shouldn’t be able to afford even the most basic of armor for your character.

Now your method of levelling depends if you have friends or not and on the server. If you have high levelled friends in a version that has Thailand with nothing to do, you can probably try to convince them to go to Thailand with you and balance the spawn in the Chicken/Green Frogs map. The green frogs only spawn at the bottom, lv 8 and have 75 HP like the Pigs. However they give 2 more experience than pigs and are slow and swarm a lot, so they should be easy to kill. If you’re alone and the version you play doesn’t have Thailand, you should either go to Henesys Hunting Ground 1 if you have 1 in Improving MP recovery, and Slime Tree (Victoria Road: Dungeon, Southern Forest I) if you have Lv 1 Energy Bolt.

List of where to level from lv 10-30

LV 10-20: Slime Tree(If unfunded 1EB), HHG(Until you have EB), Thailand Frogs(If you have friends that can kill the Chickens).
LV 21-25: Kerning PQ, Pig Beach, Thailand Frogs.
Lv 25-30: Crows (Crows in GMS only give 43 exp, while jMS’s give 75), Kerning PQ, Green Mushrooms, Horny Mushrooms.

Final SP distribution

2nd Job Advancement

Now at Lv 30, you can finally begin your 2nd job advancement to become a Cleric. Please refer to another guide on how to do your 2nd job advancement since I will not cover it here. With that done, I suggest you put your first point in Teleport, since lv 1 Heal isn’t that useful.

SP Distribution for Lv 31-70

Lv 31-40: Heal
Lv 41: 3 MP Eater
Lv 42: 3 MP Eater
Lv 43: 3 MP Eater
Lv 44: 1 MP Eater, 2 Invincible
Lv 45: 3 Invincible
Lv 46: 3 Invincible
Lv 47: 3 Invincible
Lv 48: 3 Invincible
Lv 49: 3 Invincible
Lv 50: 3 Invincible
Lv 51: 3 Bless
Lv 52: 3 Bless
Lv 53: 3 Bless
Lv 54: 3 Bless
Lv 55: 3 Bless
Lv 56: 3 Bless
Lv 57: 2 Bless, 1 MP Eater
Lv 58: 3 MP Eater
Lv 59: 3 MP Eater
Lv 60: 3 MP Eater
Lv 61: 3 Teleport
Lv 62: 3 Teleport
Lv 63: 3 Teleport
Lv 64: 3 Teleport
Lv 65: 3 Teleport
Lv 66: 3 Teleport
Lv 67: 1 Teleport, 2 Holy Arrow
Lv 68: 3 Holy Arrow
Lv 69: 3 Holy Arrow
Lv 70: 3 Holy Arrow

Cyanne’s Recommendation

Lv 31-40: 30 Heal
Lv 41: 3 Teleport
Lv 42: 3 Teleport
Lv 43: 3 Teleport
Lv 44: 3 Teleport
Lv 45: 3 Teleport
Lv 46: 3 Teleport
Lv 47: 1 Teleport, 2 MP Eater
Lv 48: 3 MP Eater
Lv 49: 3 MP Eater
Lv 50: 3 MP Eater
Lv 51: 3 MP Eater
Lv 52: 3 MP Eater
Lv 53: 3 MP Eater
Lv 54: 3 Invincible
Lv 55: 2 Invincible, 1 Bless
Lv 56: 3 Bless
Lv 57: 3 Bless
Lv 58: 3 Bless
Lv 59: 3 Bless
Lv 60: 3 Bless
Lv 61: 3 Bless
Lv 62: 1 Bless, 2 Invincible
Lv 63: 3 Invincible
Lv 64: 3 Invincible
Lv 65: 3 Invincible
Lv 66: 3 Invincible
Lv 67: 1 Invincible, 2 Holy Arrow
Lv 68: 3 Holy Arrow
Lv 69: 3 Holy Arrow
Lv 70: 3 Holy Arrow.

The reason I went 10 MP eater before Invincible first is that, the higher your MP eater is, the less MP pots you need to use to heal bomb monsters. I go Invincible over Bless since Bless is not so useful until later levels. Holy Arrow is always added last because its the most worthless skill a Cleric will get, and Angel’s Ray totally outstrips it…

Where you should Train from 30-70

Lv 30-31: Kerning PQ, Crows (Crows in GMS only give 43 exp, while jMS’s give 75.), Zombie Mushrooms, Horny Mushrooms, Carnival PQ [If available] (By far the best experience if you can get 500 Carnival points with your group, and alternate wins.)
Lv 31-37: Crows (Crows in GMS only give 43 exp, while jMS’s give 75.),Zombie Mushrooms, Horny Mushrooms, Carnival PQ [If available].
Lv 37-45: Crows (Crows in GMS only give 43 exp, while jMS’s give 75.), Jr Wraiths, Carnival PQ [If Available]
Lv 45-51: Zombie Lupins, Jr Wraiths, Lanterns/Night Foxes (GMS Night Foxes are not healable, but are healable in jMS), Carnival PQ [If available] (Make sure you have a 2 INT Shupigelman’s Necklace with 60 or 90HP/MP by now.)

[i]At lv 51, things get very hell if you’re not in jMS. But try to hang on. In the past, at this level, you begin Zombies, but due to the breaking of the maps, its way harder.[/i]

Lv 51-60: Lanterns/Night Foxes (GMS Night Foxes are not healable, but are healable in jMS) , Wraiths, Party with your friends, Ludi Maze, Orbis PQ, VooDoo/HooDoo (GMS only)
Lv 60-70: Lanterns/Night Foxes (GMS Night Foxes are not healable, but are healable in jMS), Wraiths, Party with your friends, Magatia Saiti with friends (Only if your version has it), Zombies, Ludi Maze, Orbis PQ, VooDoo/HooDoo (GMS only)

3rd Job Advancement

At Lv 70, you can begin your 3rd job advancement. Please refer another guide on how to do your 3rd job advancement because I will not cover it here. With it completed. Put your first point into Shining Ray.

SP Distribution for Lv 70-120

Lv 71: 3 Dispel
Lv 72: 3 Holy Symbol
Lv 73: 3 Holy Symbol
Lv 74: 3 Holy Symbol
Lv 75: 3 Holy Symbol
Lv 76: 3 Holy Symbol
Lv 77: 3 Holy Symbol
Lv 78: 3 Holy Symbol
Lv 79: 3 Holy Symbol
Lv 80: 3 Holy Symbol
Lv 81: 3 Holy Symbol

Now this is where the road splits, you may go offensive or defensive.

Offensive

Lv 82: 3 Shining Ray
Lv 83: 3 Shining Ray
Lv 84: 3 Shining Ray
Lv 85: 3 Shining Ray
Lv 86: 3 Shining Ray
Lv 87: 3 Shining Ray
Lv 88: 3 Shining Ray
Lv 89: 3 Shining Ray
Lv 90: 3 Shining Ray
Lv 91: 2 Shining Ray, 1 Element Resistance
Lv 92: 3 Element Resistance
Lv 93: 3 Element Resistance
Lv 94: 3 Element Resistance
Lv 95: 3 Element Resistance
Lv 96: 3 Element Resistance
Lv 97: 3 Element Resistance
Lv 98: 1 Element Resistance, 1 Mystic Door, 1 Dispel

Defensive

Lv 82: 3 Element Resistance
Lv 83: 3 Element Resistance
Lv 84: 3 Element Resistance
Lv 85: 3 Element Resistance
Lv 86: 3 Element Resistance
Lv 87: 3 Element Resistance
Lv 88: 2 Element Resistance, 1 Shining Ray
Lv 89: 3 Shining Ray
Lv 90: 3 Shining Ray
Lv 91: 3 Shining Ray
Lv 92: 3 Shining Ray
Lv 93: 3 Shining Ray
Lv 94: 3 Shining Ray
Lv 95: 3 Shining Ray
Lv 96: 3 Shining Ray
Lv 97: 3 Shining Ray
Lv 98: 1 Shining Ray, 1 Mystic Door, 1 Dispel

Now the Road is coupled back. Heres the rest of the SP distribution.

Lv 99: 3 Dispel
Lv 100: 3 Dispel
Lv 101: 3 Dispel
Lv 102: 3 Dispel
Lv 103: 3 Dispel
Lv 104: 1 Dispel, 2 Summon Dragon
Lv 105: 3 Summon Dragon
Lv 106: 3 Summon Dragon
Lv 107: 3 Summon Dragon
Lv 108: 3 Summon Dragon
Lv 109: 1 Summon Dragon, 2 Mystic door
Lv 110: 3 Mystic Door
Lv 111: 3 Mystic Door
Lv 112: 1 Mystic Door, 2 Doom
Lv 113: 3 Doom
Lv 114: 3 Doom
Lv 115: 3 Doom
Lv 116: 3 Doom
Lv 117: 3 Doom
Lv 118: 3 Doom
Lv 119: 3 Doom
Lv 120: 3 Doom

Reason I only go 15 Summon Dragon is Bahamut will be replacing it shortly, and it hits 3 enemies and Bahamut Requires Lv 15 Summon Dragon to obtain. Lv 10 Door is more than adequate, and lv 20 Door only adds a full minute to the duration. So therefore Doom is at a final level of 26, which makes Skelegons slightly easier if you don’t have Genesis yet.

Levelling spots for lv 70-120
The levelling spots depend on your version. I will cover the jMS level spots only. I need player information on how to level a priest on GMS. If you know this information, please reply.

Lv 70-81: Magatia PQ, Lanterns/Foxes with 2x exp card, Zombies, Party with friends in Magatia
Lv 81-85: Magatia PQ, Dark Kentaurus, Level with friends at Garage (Yak Girls), Death Teddy, Goby/Squid Party
Lv 86-90: Dark Kentaurus, Level with friends at Garage, Death Teddy, Master Death Teddy, Goby/Squid Party.
Lv 90-95: Dark Kentaurus, Armory Party (FBPT), Mastery Death Teddy, Goby/Squid Party.
LV 95-120 Dark Kentaurus, Armory Party (FBPT), Hime Party(risky), Goby/Squid party (Slow), Red Wyvern Party.

4th Job Advancement

This is it, your final advancement. Please refer to this link on how to do the advancement: [url]http://strategywiki.org/wiki/MapleStory/Jobs#4th_Job_Advancement[/url]. I strongly recommend you have 10 Million in your hand unless you’re crazy enough to take down Manon and Griffey with your friends. With your advancement completed, you will gain your Maple Hero skillbook, and 3 SP to use.

Now, unlike the other advancements. You only start with 4 Base skills. The skills are the following.
Maple Hero
Quantum Explosion
Mana Reflection
Holy Shield

To get the other skills, you need to do quests or do certain things to get them. This is where you MUST go to Zakum to have a full skillbook. If you have a weak computer, it will be much harder for you to get Angel’s Ray. For Details on all Bishop skills, refer to this topic on Sleepywood: [url]http://www.sleepywood.net/forum/showpost.php?p=6619452&postcount=3[/url]

To get in El Nath PQ, you need to have a Warrior thats in the middle of his Stance quest and he needs to be leader.

I strongly suggest you do the Genesis quest ASAP, because Genesis will make you level extremely fast at Skelegon or Jr Newties in Destroyed Dragon Nest. I also suggest you focus on getting Bahamut because it is just as extremely helpful as Genesis. You need to have a few high levelled friends that have the patience to kill red wyverns for you though.

UPDATE!

SP Distribution list from 120-200 if MH30/Genesis 30 is accessible for you! (Updated March 30, 2009 with change to Maple Hero to 30)

Lv 120: 3 Genesis
Lv 121: 3 Genesis (Pass Gen 20 here, it will be easy (Cheap)
Lv 122: 3 Genesis
Lv 123: 3 Genesis
Lv 124: 3 Genesis (Pass Gen 30 here)
Lv 125: 3 Genesis
Lv 126: 3 Genesis

Lv 129: 3 Genesis
Lv 130: 3 Genesis (Genesis MAXED)
Lv 131: 3 Maple Hero
Lv 132: 3 Maple Hero (Pass MH20 here)
Lv 133: 3 Maple Hero

Lv 136: 3 Maple Hero
Lv 137: 3 Maple Hero
Lv 138: 3 Maple Hero
Lv 139: 3 Maple Hero
Lv 140: 3 Maple Hero (Maxed)

I suggest putting one point into Resurrection now if you plan to boss. Only one though since a Viper’s Time Leap can reset it, theres no point of adding anymore until later. If you want to solo bosses, I’d suggest max AR now. If your damage to Skelegons is around 75k-90k+, I’d suggest to max Bahamut.

Lv 173-182

You may make your own SP distribution list, but I think mines the most optimal
The SP Distribution list is subject to change depending if you get Maple Hero 20 and/or Genesis 30 Early.

Lv 9 Maple Hero gives the same bonus as lv 10 Maple Hero, so I suggest you keep it at lv 9 until you can get it to Maple Hero 20. Genesis should be kept at lv 10 for a while since you should be able to 2hit Skelegons at 100% chance with it.

Levelling Recommendations for Lv 120-200
*This list is subject to change as newer areas are added*
Again I will only list jMS Level areas

Lv 120-125: Armory Party, Hime Party, Head Ninjas, Skelegon mini dungeon, Red Wyvern Party (To gain Dragon Hearts for Bahamut), Jr. Newtie mini Dungeon
Lv 125-140: Armory party, Hime Party, Skelegon mini dungeon, Head Ninjas, Red Wyvern Party (To gain Dragon Hearts for Bahamut), Jr. Newtie mini Dungeon
Lv 140-150: Skelegon Mini Dungeon, Head Ninjas, Jr. Newtie Mini Dungeon
Lv 151-200: Skelegon mini dungeon
