In Maplestory I have an account and I made it by myself. I have a mage and she is lvl 31. It only took me 6 or 4 or 5 weeks to get her to that lvl (level). If u play MS then buddy me as : HuskyHeart . Belive me if your lvl 17 or under ill train u super fast. And also if this is your first time playing MAKE A MAGE! The other races ( theif, warriar, and bowman) are much slower to train when they are high lvls. But also if this is ur first time playing MS , belive me ur gonnna need a lot of pots and if u are annoyed by training slow when your a low lvl then you also should make a warriar as your 1rst character cuz they are the easiest to train till lvl 13. When ur a higher lvl than that, your gonna get bored. I had a lvl 25 before and it took me about a month and a half to get him to that lvl. O.K and if u need more tips go to www.mapletip.com . They give u alot of tips and what to train on and that stuff.
