Go to Kerning City – Subway Line 2, Area B-3.

This exclusive MapleStory v111 Training Guide covers the most efficient leveling routes for the post-Big Bang era (specifically around the Legend/Justice updates).

Now go grind, you nostalgia-chasing legend. And remember – in v111, damage cap is 999,999, so don’t stress about post-200 hyper skills. They don’t exist yet.
