    A cute new masochistic challenge inspired by Cob's Clearing MapleStory.

    DA RULES
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    0. Fresh character.
    The challenge begins immediately on Maple Island.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    1.
    You may not progress from a map until you've collected all card sets of the monsters in that map.
    ---------------------------------------------

    [​IMG]
    EXAMPLE: In order to progress past Snail Hunting Ground I, you must collect 5/5 Snail cards. The next map (Snail Hunting Ground II) features Snails and Blue Snails. Since you've already completed Snails, you'll *just* need to collect 5/5 Blue Snail cards to continue.
    • Once you've completed a set, you have completed that monster for every map.
    • You can go back to previously cleared maps or explore alternatives whenever you like.
    • Taking a taxi or other instant warp NPC/scroll/portal to a map that you haven't otherwise "unlocked" is forbidden (ex: taking the taxi from Lith Harbor to Perion without unlocking every map in the route between). CLARIFICATION: Instant warps ARE allowed after you've properly unlocked their targets (ex: I can use Henesys scrolls/taxi to Henesys after I've reached Henesys).
    • Some areas/mobs don't have associated Monster Cards. Consider these free territory and do as you please.
    • Area bosses such as Mano and Stumpy are exempt from these rules and thus optional (this includes the special anti-botting mobs such as Shade in the Kerning Subway).
    • Mini-Dungeons and Hidden Streets within a map are not accessible until the map itself has been cleared.
    • If a death results in you warping to a map that has not been unlocked, you must return to an unlocked map immediately without touching anything (Return Scrolls recommended).
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    2. No parties. Challengers must make their own way.
    ---------------------------------------------

    • Exceptions: Party Quests/Raids (your own discretion for these), Purchasing a (non-leech) service, Quests completable only with parties.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    3. Obvious: no self-gifting. It's not a challenge if you can give yourself all the meso/items you need. No begging/donations either!
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    4. Free Market buying/selling/trading is allowed, however you cannot buy/trade for an item until you've obtained that item at least once by yourself (ex: You cannot purchase a Gun for Att 60% scroll until you manage to obtain one from somewhere in the Maple World). This gives the challenge an Ironman-esque flair without being too self-punishing.
    ---------------------------------------------
    • Exceptions: skillbooks only obtainable from raid bosses (ex: Berserk 20, 30) can be purchased regardless.
    • Purchasing a boss item service such as Zakum Helmet/Skillbook, Horntail Pendant, Mark of Naricain is allowed, but you must be at most 5 levels below the boss that drops the item (ex: Zak/Scar 135+, HT 155+).
    • Special event items that are out-of-season are unobtainable. Can't dominate with Maple Weapons? Tough luck, find something else to work with.
    • CLARIFICATION: NPC shops (ex: Lith Harbor potion store) are fair game no matter what.
    • Optional Rule: Your character detests hand-me-downs. Buying pre-scrolled (unclean) items is forbidden.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FORESEEABLE CONCERNS (aka FEATURES)
    • You're going to be inadvertantly grinding. A lot.
    • Seriously, you're gonna get walled by Blue Snails on the second map of Maple Island. Are you sure you really wanna do this?
    • Getting a job will be a pain in the butt. Don't expect to get your first advance before level 3x.
    • I've heard the road from Lith to Kerning has a map with a single troll Lupin, so good luck ever becoming a Thief via that route. Actually, good luck becoming a Thief at all considering you're going to have to traverse all the way from Lith to Kerning (the LONG way) with the majority of your points in LUK... STRdit meta anyone???
    • Gachapon will be very important for unlocking certain scrolls and items (thankfully we have the Victoria gacha system for this)
    • The ultimate goal: to unlock every map? to finish the monster book ring?? to defeat Pink Bean???

    I've attempted a bit of the challenge thus far and I'll be reporting on my progress soon. Please feel free to join in on this thread if you're man enough to attempt it yourself! Calling out cobbagescobbages because he said he's interested and I know he loves new characters and self-torturing challenges.
