01Meet at Lakelis
First Time Together is the Kerning City Party Quest. The launch notes list level 21 or above and channels 3 through 12. Speak to Lakelis in Kerning City to begin.
Agree on a channel before everyone travels, then check these three things:
02A little teamwork, a big slime
The official overview describes puzzles, monsters, and a battle with King Slime. This is an entry guide based on the October 21 notes, not a tested room-by-room walkthrough.
The cited notes do not provide a complete reward table, party-size rule, upper level cutoff, or fastest-clear strategy. Check current NPC dialogue for those details rather than borrowing rules from another version of MapleStory.
03If the party cannot start
- Check the version: this guide covers Global MapleStory Classic World.
- Recheck your level and channel; the published channel range is 3–12.
- Read Lakelis’s current dialogue for any additional requirements.
- Still blocked? Check maintenance and known-issue notices, then send the exact error to Player Support.
