MapleStory Classic World Training Spots by Level (1–100)

Published All guides

How to use this list of Classic World training spots

These Classic World training spots are grouped by level band. Each band lists maps with monsters of that level, the monsters there with their levels, and the town area each map belongs to. Every character starts on Maple Island and then moves on to Victoria Island (Grand Launch Release Notes), so every map below is on one of those two islands.

A few tips before you pick a spot:

  • Pick monsters close to your level. Monsters a few levels below you are easier to defeat. Monsters well above you hit harder and take longer to bring down.
  • Party up for tougher maps. If a map’s monsters are above your level, a party makes it much easier.
  • Check the monster page first. Each monster page lists its HP, EXP and every map it appears on.
  • Watch for stronger neighbours. Some maps mix in a much higher-level monster. The notes call those out.

Lv 1–10: Maple Island

Maple Island is where you begin (the Maple Island guide covers its quests too). Its monsters run from the Snail (level 1) up to the Orange Mushroom (level 8), the highest-level monster on the island.
