Ice/Lightning Guide

Maplestory guide to getting to level 70.

Pros:

  • You can freeze your targets so they deal less damage to you
  • They get crowd control with lightning as well as ice
  • You can take on most things after you master Cold Beam

Cons:

  • You spend the money that you earn on pots
  • It gets boring sometimes cause you can only kill one thing over and over again

    I'm guessing you're at level 30 and starting your Ice/Lightning Job. So we'll start with a build. Even if you don't follow this build it's ok as long as your end build looks something like this:

    • Max Cold Beam
    • Max Lightning
    • Max MP Eater
    • Max Meditation
    • Max Teleport

    The last point can go into energy bolt so you have something to get rid of weak pest.

    Lightning Build

    30 - Teleport (1) Always put your first point in Teleport you'll regret it if you don't
    31 - Thunderbolt (3)
    32 - Thunderbolt (3)
    33 - Thunderbolt (3)
    34 - Thunderbolt (3)
    35 - Thunderbolt (3)
    36 - Thunderbolt (3)
    37 - Thunderbolt (3)
    38 - Thunderbolt (3)
    39 - Thunderbolt (3)
    40 - Thunderbolt (MAX)
    41 - MP Eater (3) Just so you can get Meditation
    42 - Meditation (3)
    43 - Meditation (3)
    44 - Meditation (3)
    45 - Meditation (3)
    46 - Meditation (3)
    47 - Meditation (3)
    48 - Meditation (MAX), Cold Beam (1)
    49 - Cold Beam (3)
    50 - Cold Beam (3)
    51 - Cold Beam (3)
    52 - Cold Beam (3)
    53 - Cold Beam (3)
    54 - Cold Beam (3)
    55 - Cold Beam (3)
    56 - Cold Beam (3)
    57 - Cold Beam (3)
    58 - Cold Beam (MAX), Teleport (1)
    59 - Teleport (3)
    60 - Teleport (3)
    61 - Teleport (3)
    62 - Teleport (3)
    63 - Teleport (3)
    64 - Teleport (MAX)
    65 - MP Eater (3)
    66 - MP Eater (3)
    67 - MP Eater (3)
    68 - MP Eater (3)
    69 - MP Eater (3)
    70 - MP Eater (MAX), Energy Bolt(1)

    This build has you training on one monster until around level 50 or so. It also cost a lot of money because lightning is best used if you're in the center of a mob which means you'll be taking a lot of damage. I personally do not like this method because it cost too much money.

    Ice Build

    30 - Teleport (1)Again always put first point in teleport
    31 - Cold Beam (3)
    32 - Cold Beam (3)
    33 - Cold Beam (3)
    34 - Cold Beam (3)
    35 - Cold Beam (3)
    36 - Cold Beam (3)
    37 - Cold Beam (3)
    38 - Cold Beam (3)
    39 - Cold Beam (3)
    40 - Cold Beam (MAX)
    41 - MP Eater (3)
    42 - Meditation (3)
    43 - Meditation (3)
    44 - Meditation (3)
    45 - Meditation (3)
    46 - Meditation (3)
    47 - Meditation (3)
    48 - Meditation (MAX), Thunderbolt (1)
    49 - Thunderbolt (3)
    50 - Thunderbolt (3)
    51 - Thunderbolt (3)
    52 - Thunderbolt (3)
    53 - Thunderbolt (3)
    54 - Thunderbolt (3)
    55 - Thunderbolt (3)
    56 - Thunderbolt (3)
    57 - Thunderbolt (3)
    58 - Thunderbolt (MAX), Teleport (1)
    59 - Teleport (3)
    60 - Teleport (3)
    61 - Teleport (3)
    62 - Teleport (3)
    63 - Teleport (3)
    64 - Teleport (3)
    65 - MP Eater (3)
    66 - MP Eater (3)
    67 - MP Eater (3)
    68 - MP Eater (3)
    69 - MP Eater (3)
    70 - MP Eater (2), Energy Bolt(1)

    This Build is cheap because you'll barely be hit due to Cold Beam and Fire Boars just charge you so if you are careful you'll never get hit.

    Ice Training

    • 30-31 you can still do the Kerning party quest before you go over the level limit or move to the next step
    • 31-35 Train in the Ant Tunnel on Horned mushrooms and zombie mushrooms or Evil Eye's if you can 2 hit them.
    • 35-40 Fire Boars great drops and weak to ice make them great to kill
    • 40-50 You can either join the Ludi Party Quest or train on Jr. Kitties. Jr. Kitties have
    • great pot drops so they can save you cash
    • 50-70 Fire Drakes you will be here a long time so hopefully you will get at least one Steely.

    Lightning Training

    • 30-31 you can still do the Kerning party quest before you go over the level limit or move to the next step
    • 31-35 Train in the Ant Tunnel on Horned mushrooms and zombie mushrooms or Evil Eye's if you can 2 hit them.
    • 35-40 Same as before
    • 40- 45 You can now mass kill Bubbling, Octopuses, Horned Mushroom or Wild Boars
    • 45-60 Lorangs and more Lorangs
    • 60-70 Clangs and Lorangs

    Equipment

    I'd use w/e you can afford. So if you can get the best equipment for your level. As for weapons I tend to like Staffs more then wands because I think they look cooler but I think it's just personal preference.

    You have to get nexon points and buy ap resets to get rid of the str. If you don't have the cash you will have to start over or just continue playing as it is.
