Want a mentor for maple

I'm new to maple and would like a mentor of some sort to play with.
Someone who's there to just help and be friends while I start my journey.
Funding would be appreciated
I do intend on putting in some real money into the game so let's just say if you're good to me I'll be good to you.
I'm mainly looking for a friend so I have someone to talk to when I need help.
Please comment below or PM me if you would be able to help, also your server! I'm still trying to decide which server and class I should make!
I have a few questions:
What class is the most 'fun' in your opinion?
What class would best suit someone who loves hitting crowds of monsters, fast and stylish but killing them quick?

[quote=Sytalith]Fun is subjective - please add a little more info onto what you find 'fun' in a class? Do you want lots of mobility? Super flashy? Lots of lines? Do you prefer to party with others or play solo and party only occasionally? Do you like mobile attacking classes, or stationary ones? Long range, close range or all the range ever? We can provide better options for you with this info.

If you are looking for active worlds that have people on still to party with and chat to, I recommend the remaining big three - Windia, Scania and Bera. Sadly with the declining maple population, it is often quite hard on other worlds to find people on, so even something as simple as organizing a Romeo and Juliet party (which requires only four people) is quite a feat to achieve.

Can't really help you funding wise because I'm not funded myself xD; But I'd be happy to give you advice or offer you help with questions you have. The one area I'm weak in is the economy/pricing of things simply because - I'm not funded. And I'm not really super intent upon doing uber damage, so I don't worry about it. I'm in Bera (and Renegades too) if you wanted to chat in-game/needed help.

Personal opinions:
I really enjoy playing a Shade - which is the Hero Pirate class. They're versatile, good at mobbing, good at bossing, pretty tanky and don't have a ton of buffs to have to manage (read: they don't have buffs until fourth job and even then there's only two: one is only used for bossing and the other is maple warrior, which every class gets). They are not 'the best' at either one of those things, but they are a good all around class. I also enjoy their mobility, and they are useful to a party because of their bind and soul splitter skills - I like that, because I like to party a lot. Also, probably one of the best class storylines in MS right now.

Kanna was also a class I enjoyed because its a mage (and I find myself drawn to a lot of mage classes) with lots of support capability - again, great for me because I like to party. Its really kind of like the utilitarian mage class - its got a little bit of everything. Buffs to reduce damage and increase bossing damage? Got those. Ability to heal self and party members in the area? Got that (its got a cool down, so this isn't universal healing like a cleric, but still handy in a lot of situations). AoE attacks? Got those in triplicate. Teleport fun? Yep. Main attack that costs no mana? Check that - you're a mage that will never use a single MP pot. Arguably one of the most useful training skills in the game? Why yes, its called Kishin and it increases spawn rate in the map. That reason alone causes people to love kannas and want them in their party. Now true, many people keep a kanna as a kishin mule, just like they keep a bishop as an HS mule, but they are capable of dishing out damage with the right funding, and for a mage, they've got a lot of HP.

My suggestions for a class that mobs well and is fast?
Luminous - the best mobber in the game. Fairly flashy too. Not amazing at bossing, but certainly passable. Besides, with the right amount of funding, any class can do enough damage to be good at anything now.
Shade - again, good mobbing - this class gets several 'mob control' skills that allow you to drag monsters from various directions around the map and group them all up nicely in front of you to be slaughtered. As you go through the job advancements, the range of your main mobbing attack increases in distance, as well as the number of monsters it hits.
Demon Avenger - a purely HP based class, its attacks are all HP based, not MP or demon force (which is what it's brother the Demon Slayer uses). This is also a class frequently recommended for those starting out with no funds as they rarely use any kind of potion. They got some pretty spammy mob skills that cause them to be capable grinders. Flashy? Depends on your preference of aesthetic. I like 'em, some people don't.[/quote]

Thanks so much!

I have no desire to have 'good done to me', nor to fund anyone. If that's your primary goal of a mentor, I wouldn't take me; I'm Windian, if you happen to settle down there.

Fast mobbers would probably be classes such as Shadowers, Thunder Breakers, Blade Masters, maybe Arans or Dawn Warriors depending on how you define 'fast'... Night Walkers are a bit generic when it comes to mobbing(I think they have two mob skills, one's on a cooldown; they have pseudo mobbing with Bats as well). 'Fun' is rather subjective, but I like Buccaneers, despite their poor bossing, end-game and lack of staples on better classes(Vertical mobility, for example); Night Walkers also seemed fun, as do Dawn Warriors.

Really, just find a class YOU enjoy, that matters much more than anything else; too many people quit a class that is 'good' because they end up hating it later on.

I dont mind helping you out if u have a question just msg me through basil or post on basil. I'm sure theres a lot of people that are willing to help new players out
I also am in bera if u wish to come. Idm helping here and there but if i have irl stuff to do, please be understanding
Class wise i think i would only be able to recommend after you tell me what u are expecting
tho the class i had the most fun was DEFINTELY zero as you can gender swamp and has high mobility for a warrior class
I think zeroes are pretty good at mobbers. Im not 100% sure what you would take as stylish exactly o.o but its definitely a good class to start with

Also im not even sure if u can make one right now..just realized =.=
