Level 1 to 10: the tutorial

Players will start out level 1 on Maple Road/Ereve/Rien where they can click the first NPC to receive a special Welcome to KuroMS package which provides a Medal and Ring and Belt along with 5k Mesos, 100 White Pots, 300 Blue Pots.

Players can also create their own Referral Codes to invite friends or enter in Referral Codes from friends to receive bonus Reward Credits here. There is also an Ironman/Reboot Option for players with the help of Sasuke NPC.

Players then can talk to Sera/Kimu to begin the tutorial which teaches them about in-game @commands such as @help @dispose @wd @wdf @autopickup. Players then can talk to the next NPC which introduces them to how our custom widget works. The next step will introduce players towards our game's main currency which is Pitch Perfect, tradable for rare items from Inkwell in the Free Market.

Then, players can try some attacks on mobs at our Tutorial with an enhanced QOL feature allowing Attack + Move along with Nimble Feet now being a passive which increases Speed and Jump by +30 and +10 along with Legendary Spirit, Monster Rider, Follow the Lead, Kuro's Blessing and Maker being unlocked at the get go. Heena will then ask you some questions about the server so be prepared!

After completing our custom tutorial then players will continue down Maple Island, Ereve, Rien's usual progression route til level 10 and level 8 for Mages.

Level 8/10 to 30: first job, Demon Hat and Sleepywood

Once a player is level 8 or 10 then you can job advance, and from level 10 you can claim milestone rewards.

Blue Gachapons were originally a P2W mechanic in the classic game, which we have reworked into a global drop for focusing on Player Enjoyment for levels 1 to 40 which includes some early game accessories, custom and reworked 100% blue scrolls and Maple Weapons. Test out your luck with our Gachapon NPC at FM by pressing the trade button to receive a variety of items.

Players can now start doing their early training quests with their job instructor and have access to @town which brings them back to their 1st Job Instructor town as QOL. During your grind, ores and the custom global drop reworked 100% blue scrolls will be directly transferred to your personal storage which can be accessed directly from the Widget or @storage.

  • Remember to Vote to get Reward Credits claimable at KIN NPC to buy Pets/Pet Equipments in the Cash Shop that all now cost 100 Reward Credits to smoothen the grind process.
  • Remember to claim your class medal from Dalair, players can wear 2 medals at once as KuroMS's special QOL.
  • @town: Brings you back to your 1st Job Instructor town.
  • @storage: Opens your personal storage, where ores and the reworked 100% blue scrolls you pick up are sent.
  • @guide: Reopens the in-game Player Guide with the level route and bossing levels.

After finishing your Job Instructor Quests, you should be around level 18 to begin the Demon Hat questline. Demon Bosses such as Andras, Crocell, Amdusias, Valefor and Marbas now also drop a Demon Ring, Demon Gloves, Demon Shoes and Demon Weapons to help with early game progression. Complete the final Quest and players will receive a Demon Hat; these items will also be part of the Demon Item Set Bonus.

Demon Hat questline: the Andras fight in the Andras Hiding Place mini dungeon.

Once you have finished the Demon Hat quest, head on over to Sleepywood to start completing some Sleepywood Board Quests such as Horny Mushroom, Zombie Mushrooms, Evil Eyes, Curse Eyes and quests from the Rememberer. Completing these quests will reward you with over 5 100% scrolls to help you enhance your items and help get you to level 30.

During your grind, you might also have noticed some of our custom reworked Arrows (now rechargeable) and Bullets which now have the same Weapon Attack as Throwing Stars. At level 30, you can advance to the 2nd Job.

The Sleepywood board quests carry you from about level 20 to 30.

Milestone rewards below are taken from the game server code (verified September 24, 2026). At levels 30, 60 and 100 you receive the secondary weapon of all five class families, so you can sell the ones you cannot use.

  • Level 10: Gachapon Ticket, Mushroom House Elf, White Belt, White Potion x200, Blue Potion x300, Pet Food x100

The level 10 milestone unlocks at level 10 for every class, including Mages who job advance at level 8. Open the milestone window with @milestone (or @ms) to claim it.

Level 30 to 60

  • Level 30 to 35: Mushroom Kingdom. Run Mushroom Kingdom. The quest chain is compact and should carry you through the first post-advancement stretch.
  • Level 35 to 40: Blake's Dream. Follow Blake's Dream next. This fills the gap before Forgotten Hollow becomes your main route.
  • Level 40 to 60: Forgotten Hollow. Head to Forgotten Hollow. Use the Hollow quests and trophy rewards to bridge into the custom mid-game route.

Level 30 to 40: Mushroom Kingdom and Blake's Dream

After completing your Job Advancement then a lightbulb will appear above your character to start the Mushroom Kingdom Questline, this region will drop King Pepe Tops and Bottoms which do not require secondary stats.

Remember to start out the Forgotten Hollow questline with NPC Zelya to receive the final reward of Forgotten Hollow's Face Accessory which provides some stats and a bonus to the demon item set.

Forgotten Hollow mobs drop Forgotten Hollow Overalls, Rings, Tops and Bottoms along with risky 10% scrolls that are meant to be used with caution on the abundance of item drops during the lower levels. Starting at level 40, mobs will start dropping more of our custom 60% scrolls, and regions also start to provide global drops to support exchanges for the Lucky Day Scroll early game progression, Silver Gachapon along with a variety of Vicious Hammers at Luma NPC.

60% Scrolls will play a major role on your leveling journey til around 4th job. A good advice is also for players to focus on Glove Critical Rate scrolls and Earrings Critical Damage scrolls first.

Players reaching level 60 can then move on towards Deep Sleepywood starting at Another Path which can be accessed from the Black Taxi at Sleepywood.
