Mai the sword master at A Split Road wants to train you. First lesson: hunt Blue Snails, Shrooms, and other early Amherst mobs. Step 1 of a 2-part combat tutorial.
Mai at A Split Road seems like a martial arts specialist who
can train beginners.
I am now under the tutelage of the famous sword master, Mai,
in A Split Road. For my first lesson, she told me to hunt
Blue Snails, Shrooms, and other early Amherst mobs.
Rewards
EXP
70 EXP
Substantial at level 3 - roughly one full level at this tier when combined with the mob EXP earned.
ITEM
5x Egg
Small HP restore snacks. Total from Mai's chain across both steps: 15 Eggs. Enough to keep you topped up through the rest of Maple Island.
NEXT-QUEST
Unlocks: Mai's Final Training
Return to Mai after the hunt for the graduation step.
Liven's take
Mai is Maple Island's most-developed training NPC. Sam
pointed you toward Mai; Mai actually teaches you the flow
of a real quest cycle: accept quest -> travel to hunting
grounds -> kill required mobs -> return for reward.
Where: A Split Road is the middle
section of Maple Island, between Amherst and the more
eastern hunting grounds. Mai stands at the intersection -
hence "A Split Road."
Mob targets: Blue Snails and Shrooms
are both in the maps immediately east of A Split Road.
Neither hits hard enough to threaten a level-3 character
with basic gear. Total kill time: 5-10 minutes if the maps
aren't contested.
Chain payoff: the real reward is
finishing step 2 (Mai's
Final Training), which adds mesos to the reward and
hands out another 10 Eggs. Complete the chain for the full
~15 Eggs and the mesos boost.
