Bring Lucas's reply back to Maria. She's relieved - and grateful enough to give you a random pick from the classic Maple Island Skullcap/Headband cosmetic set.

Quest giver
Lucas (Maple Island - Amherst (delivery to Maria))
I delivered Maria's Letter to Lucas in Amherst, and he wrote
her a reply. I should bring it back to Maria now.
Maria looked relieved after reading the reply from Lucas.
Now I want to know what was in that letter...
Rewards
EXP
50 EXP
Nominal - notable mostly by contrast with Returning to Nina's 3 EXP. Maple Island rewards scale roughly with how meaningful the quest 'feels' narratively.
ITEM
1 random Level 5 Cosmetic Hat
RANDOM pick from seven L5 hats: Brown Skullcap (1002000), Green Skullcap (1002001), Red Headband (1002003, +5 MHP), Black Headband (1002004, +1 ACC), Green Headband (1002005), Yellow Headband (1002006), Blue Headband (1002007). All are 6 PDD, 7 slots. Some variants have a minor stat bonus; most are pure cosmetic.
Liven's take
Walk from Lucas's house back to Maria's house. Deliver
the reply. Maria reads it, smiles - and hands you a
random cosmetic hat.
The random hat pool: all seven possible
outcomes are Level 5 hats with 6 Weapon Defense and 7
upgrade slots. The stat differences are minor - Red
Headband adds +5 MaxHP, Black Headband adds +1 Accuracy,
the rest are pure cosmetic variants. All 7 are usable by
any class.
Why this quest matters: character
customization. The Skullcap / Headband set was the first
visible cosmetic personalization most traditional MapleStory players ever
had. Ten years later, longtime players still remember
which color they got on Maple Island. In-game screenshots
from 2004-2008 era MapleStory show these hats everywhere.
Reroll strategy: if you got a color you
don't want, you can't reroll - the drop is one-per-
character. Either equip whatever you got, delete + reroll
the entire character (extreme), or wait to trade with a
friend who rolled a different color.
