Herbs and Veins locations

After wandering around in the Maple world, I found the following pattern for herbs and veins locations.

First of all, what determines which herbs and veins are in a map are the level(s) of the monster(s) in those map, split in 3 level ranges. If there are monsters of different ranges, the highest range is used.

Level 1-29: No herbs and veins are spawned.

Level 30-99: Which herbs and veins are spawned depends on the last number of the monster's level. For example: 30 → 0, 35 → 5, 39 → 9, 89 → 9 ect. 

Then use the following table: Number Herbs and Veins color

0,1 Silver & Magenta

2,3 Blue & Brown

4,5 Emerald & Gold

6,7 Aquamarine & Red

8,9 Black & Purple

• If there are multiple monsters in the map, herbs and veins for all those monsters are spawned. If the levels of the monsters results in herbs and veins of non-adjacent color, all colors between are also spawned.

For example, in a map spawning level 81 and 84 monsters, the herbs and veins that are spawned are: Silver & Magenta (from lvl 81 monsters), Emerald & Gold (from lvl 84 monsters) and Blue & Brown because it's in between.

Level 100-200: All these maps spawn Emerald, Gold, Aquamarine, Red, Black and Purple herbs and veins, regardless of level.

Sometimes there are less herb and vein spots than allowed herbs and veins, so it is possible you won't find a Purple Vein in the first level 100+ map you enter, but you'll encounter them in other channels.

Heartstones and Golden Flowers are spawned randomly in any map where herbs and veins spawn, albeit with a very low rate.

In this table you can see which ores/seeds/flowers drops from which herbs/veins:

Color - Ores  - Flowers & Seeds

Silver - Silver & Opal - Marjoram

Magenta - Orihalcon & Amethyst - Lavender

Blue - Steel & Sapphire - Rosemary

Brown - Bronze & Adamantium - Mandarin

Emerald - Mithril, Emerald & DEX Crystal - Lemon Balm & Peppermint

Gold - Gold & Topaz - Jasmine

Aquamarine - Aquamarine & Diamond - Tea Tree

Red - Garnet & Power Crystal - Chamomile

Black - Black Crystal & Dark Crystal - Patchouli

Purple - Litium, LUK Crystal & Wisdom Crystal - Juniper & Hissop

Frustration ..

After the Chaos patch, I notice there is certain things that I need to clarified. Take PvP for instance, you need to get at least 1k of BP in order to get a good Exp ( for 120 lv and above ). I had tried using a lower lv character for PvP and I can't manage to get close to 1k BP ..  Not EVEN CLOSE =.=!!

Then, the next problem will be farming herbs and mining ores. It is really pain in the ass as the items to make into equipment, accessories and potions + oils are expensive. Besides, you need the help of other class sometime in order to progress to the next lv faster. Take alchemy profession for instance, they can dismantle eq. on their own without extractor but not other profession. Jewelry and Eq. makers requires item crystal from dismantling found eq. or purchased eq. from NPC + the help of alchemy profession / extractor services set up by alchemy :(

It's Finally Here!!!

Ever feel like shooting or slashing someone that you hate in-game? Want to show off how powerful your character is? Feel bored fighting and killing only monsters and wants to try something new? Well, PvP is what you are looking for and is finally here in MapleSEA. I'm excited too myself ^^... The Maker skill that we used to know has gone an overall REVAMPED! and is now a profession and not skill anymore. The details can be found in our previous post and feel free to read it if you need more informations ( Profession ). And as for starter, Asiasoft has provides quests and events which gives rewards upon completion in this Technological Age & Super Fight patch. So, what are you waiting for?
