Classic MapleStory Level 20 Quest: How to Get and Sell Your Early Scroll

Reaching Level 20 in Classic MapleStory unlocks a Henesys quest that awards a valuable, tradeable equipment scroll. Unfunded characters should complete this turn-in immediately upon reaching Level 20, then sell the reward in the Free Market rather than gambling it on early gear. Liquidating the scroll provides the raw mesos needed to sustain potion consumption and gear purchases through the Level 21–30 bracket.

Pre-Farming the Required Materials

You can gather the required monster drops ahead of time during the Level 15–19 training bracket. Pre-farming these items eliminates backtracking and allows an instant quest turn-in the moment you hit Level 20.

Item Name	Source Mob	Farming Locations	Required Amount
Green Mushroom Cap	Green Mushroom	Henesys Hunting Ground, Tree Dungeon	60
Blue Mushroom Cap	Blue Mushroom	Henesys Forest, Blue Mushroom Forest	60
Town Return Scroll	Potion / General Stores	Major Victoria Island Towns	3–5 (Recommended)

Store these drops in your inventory or deposit them with a town Storage Keeper while leveling. Do not vendor them to NPC shops for minor pocket change.

How to Complete the Level 20 Turn-In

Reach Level 20: The quest is unavailable at Level 19. Ensure your character has officially leveled up before traveling.
Clear Inventory Space: Withdraw your 60 Green Mushroom Caps and 60 Blue Mushroom Caps. Ensure you have at least two open slots in both your ETC and USE tabs.
Turn In the Quest in Henesys: Speak to the quest NPC in Henesys to accept the prompt and submit your gathered materials.
Inspect the Reward: Check your USE tab to see which scroll rate you received (10%, 60%, or 100%).
Teleport to Safety: Use a Town Return Scroll to avoid traveling through high-level maps where death carries an EXP penalty.

Why You Should Sell the Scroll Instead of Using It

Do not apply this scroll to your current gear. Low-level weapons and armor are replaced every five to ten levels, meaning any scroll used on beginner equipment permanently locks away value on gear that is quickly discarded.

Furthermore, enhancement scrolls carry failure rates. Failing a 60% or 10% scroll destroys a major economic asset with zero return, while passing it on low-level gear provides negligible stat gains during early grinding. High-level players regularly purchase these scrolls in the Free Market to optimize endgame gear. Selling the item converts an RNG risk into guaranteed, liquid mesos.

Pricing and Selling in the Free Market

Enter the Free Market: Travel to Kerning City or Henesys and enter the Free Market gateway.
Check Market Prices: Walk through the first five rooms to see the current asking prices established by merchant stalls for your specific scroll.
Price for Quick Sale: Price your scroll slightly below the top merchant listings to secure a fast sale without sacrificing too much value.
Trade Manually: If you do not own a shop permit, advertise your scroll in high-traffic rooms.
Verify the Window: Always confirm the exact meso amount entered in the trade window before clicking accept.

Where to Reinvest Your Early Mesos

Once the scroll is sold, allocate your mesos toward immediate progression needs:

Potion Reserves: Purchase stacks of White Potions and Mana Elixirs. Maintaining a reliable potion supply prevents downtime and avoids relying on slow HP/MP regeneration.
Level-Appropriate Weapons: Buy standard Level 20 or Level 25 weapons from town shops to reach the damage thresholds required to defeat monsters in fewer hits.
Travel and Group Prep: Keep a reserve of Town Return Scrolls and taxi funds so you can travel efficiently to Kerning City for Kerning Party Quest (KPQ) groups at Level 21.
