MapleStory-MapleSEA Mushroom Castle Pre-Requisite Quests | Mushroom Castle Pre-quest Guide | MapleSEA Mushroom Castle Guide


Overview
The Mushroom Castle is a huge place. Those who are within the levels of 30-38 may enter, and so enter the storyline of the Mushking and his daughter. It is a decent place, and if you start the quests from level 30, finishing all the quests should make you end up at level 35 or so. Although the time taken might be monotonous, it would be "better" than training, and you get a weapon/magic attack glove in the end.

Most of the quests require you to defeat hundreds of the monsters inside and outside of the Mushroom Castle. Monotonous, but it can kill time. Some quests also require you to get hundreds of a certain monster's spoils.

The whole idea of the story here is that the Mushroom Castle has been overrun by King Pepe's army of Pepes. The former key mushroom people are now on the outskirts of the castle, along with the sick Mushking. Not only that, but King Pepe wants to mary the Mushking's daughter, Princess Violetta, to his idiot son. Everything is going haywire, and that's where YOU come in.
The Head Security Officer's brother, James, is also lost somewhere in the castle, who has grown in the castle for all his life.

The Mushroom Castle entrance can be accessed by going to Henesys, going left to go up the wooden stairs at the tree fort, and pressing up in the portal. Once there, go to your bottom left to enter the big vine portal in the corner, next to the mushroom house.

About Mushroom Castle
Mushroom Castle is available for Level 30 to 38 and starts after 2nd job advancement where your job advancer will teleport you to the castle to start a series of quests that will give you wonderful EXP for your level. The story of Mushroom Castle is that the Mushroom King has been thrown out of the castle and replaced by the Pepes. The King Pepe forces the Mushroom Princess to marry his son, the Pepe Prince.

(Extra Quest) King Pepe's Scroll



Extra Quest in order to get special scrolls for King Pepe Armor / Weapons.
All other quests must be done in order to get this quest.
This quest is repeatable.

Required to kill:
-200 Renegade Spores
-200 Poison Mushrooms
-300 Intoxicated Pigs
-400 Helmet Pepe
-400 Royal Guard Pepe

Rewards: 4,400xp / Random King Pepe Scroll (Job based)

Q: "How do you get a Helmet Pepe's Helmet? Only the Destroyed Helmet Pepe's Helmets drop."
A: The Helmet Pepe's Helmet is dropped by the Helmet Pepe in the Security Room or any other Helmet Pepe. In order to get inside the Security Room, you must first defeat all three boss colors of King Pepe and Yeti, then save Princess Violetta. She will give you the key to get in.

The Security Room is located in one of the towers of Skyscraper 3. It's in the middle of the map, and has the portal at its door. Once entered, it has a time limit of one hour. The Helmet Pepes are the same. It's a thinner layout, but if one wishes to hunt them for anything else other than Helmet Pepe's Helmet for James, I suggest you go outside.

Q: "Is there any way people under 30 or above 38 can get in?"
A: No. If you attempt to get inside the vine portal, it won't let you in.

Q: "How can I get the monster cards from inside if I'm not inside the level range?"
A: Unless you have already done the whole storyline before you turned level 39, you cannot get anymore cards. If you were already level 39 without doing the quests, the only option for you to possibly get the BOSS cards is through the Maple Anniversary event like last year, where you exchange maple leaves for boss cards.

Q: "How come I can't do the Rescuing Violetta single PQ yet?"
A: You must first do the King Yeti and Pepe party PQ first. Once you have killed all three, you can then finish the quest to proceed on to the Rescuing Violetta single PQ.
