Sam tells you to head east, hunt 10 Snails, and meet Mai. The bridge quest between Amherst's static NPCs and the combat-training trio (Mai, Biggs, Pio, Rain).
Sam has some advice for beginner adventurers...
Sam told me to head east and hunt 10 Snails before meeting
up with Mai.
As Sam suggested, you hunted 10 Snails, then met Mai. Is
this person a master? They definitely give off that vibe.
Rewards
EXP
30 EXPMeaningful at level 1 - a full level-worth boost when combined with the Snail-hunting EXP itself.
ITEM
3x EggEgg is a low-tier food consumable that restores a small amount of HP. Useful for beginners who haven't figured out the potion economy yet.
Liven's take
Sam's Suggestion is Maple Island's "hey, go fight things"
quest - the softest possible combat tutorial. You're told
to hunt 10 Snails (the easiest mob in the game) and then
meet Mai (who has the actual training quest).
Where: Sam is in Amherst, near the
center of the tutorial hub. Snails are literally one screen
east - you can't miss them.
Why do this quest? It's the mechanical
onramp to Mai's Training,
the two-part combat tutorial. Sam's quest teaches you that
Snails give EXP and quests can require kill counts. Mai's
quest builds on that by introducing multi-mob-type
requirements.
Snail location: the Maple Island snail
spawns are dense - you can chain 10 kills in under two
minutes even at level 1 with only a wooden weapon. There is
no gate here; the quest exists purely to teach the flow.
