History

  • Goes and Copies from Aran main page*

The Aran is referred as a singular hero/heroine existing in the Maple World, but this does not mean that only one Aran character can ever be created. This is simply plot significance.

Aran was a hero/heroine of the past who fought for the Maple World against the Black Magician. Just before defeating the Black Magician along with the other heroes of Maple, the Black Magician used a last resort and put a curse on Aran that froze him/her in ice for a century. Thus, he/she forgot their memories and abilities. Aran soon finds out that the Black Magician will come back to the Maple World very soon and is determined to defeat the Black Magician for once and for all.

If you create an Aran, the new character will have a default tan skin. An Aran character starts in a flashback of the Aran's memories, where Aran is level 200 and possesses the legendary polearm, Maha. Aran has to help the people of Ossyria escape to Victoria (This explains what happened before the events at Altair Camp in Elin Forest). Aran awakes to find himself/herself in a tent and goes outside. Upon going outside, the setting resembles the Dragon's Forest in Minar, as well as having the same BGM as the map, as everything is ablaze. The refugees are lined up to board the boat that will let them flee from the tyrranical reign of the Black Magician. Helena, who is at the entrance of the boat, checks off the names of the passengers, a family notices a child is missing and the crowd starts to panic. Aran then resolves to find the child and goes back to find him. Being level 200 at the time, the Cornians and Skelegons in Aran's way will be used as tutorial material for introducing the Aran class' Combo Mechanic. After rescuing the child and returning him back to the ship, the Aran tells Helena to leave without him/her and decides to help the other Maple Heroes in the final stand against the Dark Magician.

After Aran is cursed and sealed in ice as mentioned before, your Aran character truly starts when he/she is awakened by Lilin, a girl with a soft voice and long cyan-colored hair. The setting of the Aran's awakening is Rien, A cold climate much like El Nath, the reason for its cold climate amongst warmer places like Victoria would be the expansion of the Black Magician's curse which froze Aran. It is located off the coast of Lith harbor and that is how Rien is reached. Arans are similar to warriors in their close-ranged attack prospect and the equipment they can use. Like a Cygnus Knight, in the selecting character screen there will be a bamboo-themed banner behind the character, identifying it as an Aran. Example of the Combo System.

To make the Arans even more unique, they have a game mechanic that no other class gets to use: the Combo System. If the character has a polearm equipped they are able to increase their combo counter by continuously hitting monsters. As their combo counter increases, so does their damage. The Aran's strongest skills can be utilized by building up the Combo Counter and then utilizing the Combo Counts. Aran-type characters are extremely powerful and amazing mobbers as all their attacks hit multiple monsters.

Training

NOTE: Because Aran needs more exp to level, its harder to simply train on monsters, and therefore takes almost twice the time to level, making PQs the easiest way to level. (>.<)

Levels 0-10: do the beginner Aran Quests. These should get you to about levels 10-13.

Levels 10-20 (or so): Henesys PQ. Cant say more. that should get you to about level 18 or so, before it gets boring. After that, do the Aran quests that you haven't done yet, or train at the pig each. I wouldnt bother with all the basic quests, because an aran needs so much more exp. You can hunt axe stumps and dark stumps and maybe even dark axe stumps, but you miss every other time, even with that being said, they give great exp.

Levels 20-30: Do sleepywood quests and KPQ. Alternitly, train either at cave of evil eye 3, or East Rocky mountain 4-6. You can do the subway lvl 25-30 thing, witch i haven't done, but i heard it gives good exp.

Levels 30-35: MUSHROOM KINGDOM QUESTS!!!! Best thing to do. Don't bother with the scroll quest, though. it only gets you 300 exp. Bit boring at this point. you can start at CPQ here.

Levels 35-40: CPQ all the way. Trade wins are the easiest. With a good team, you'll get to 40 peice of cake. Arans are PWNAGE in room 3/4, so always ask for that room, and for the other team to summon mucho trojans, and when you get to 40, you can mob golems.

Levels 40-50: Party Quests. The pyramid (PQ?) looks like it was designed for aran. Go in their, mob and kill all things that move. It's a LOT easier with other arans, though. After level 45, you can try for glasses in the ludi pq.

Equips

Weapons 1-30, use the basic polearms, unlees you have better things to use, such as white roses and yellow mops. 30-40, use [[steel polearm] if you can get one, or mithril polearm and crsenct polearm. 40-50, try and use a guan yu, or steel polearm if you are underfunded. 40-50, stay with your guan yu, or use a nine dragins wich you can easily get from CPQ.
