Mentorship System Details

Setting Master Apprentice Relationship

Master Apprentice relationship is set at a per Maple ID basis, not Character basis per world.
Each character can have one Master and one Apprentice per world.
Master Apprentice relationships can be formed separately between characters within the same World.
Buff given will be based on current logged in character depending on the completion of the Mentorship Training.
Mastery/Growth buff are dependent on the current logged in character 6th Job Advancement Completion.

Representative Character

Upon completion of the initial quest and prior to the opening of Master Apprentice matching, a representative character will be designated.
The representative character will be the character displayed in all locations, including the Master Apprentice search list, the character information window, and rankings (the character cannot be deleted or transferred to another world until the representative character designation is released).
The representative character may be changed once per day via the Master Apprentice matching UI, with this option to be made available in the main UI at a later date.

- Any character of Level 10 or above may be designated as the representative character, and a master may be found without any separate restrictions.
- An Apprentice cannot be recruited as the master qualification requirements have not been met.
- However, upon a character completing their 6th Job Advancement Quest at a later date, that character may be designated as the representative character.
- The qualifications of a mentor to recruit a mentee will be granted (at this time, should the representative character not be changed to one that has completed the 6th Job Advancement, the master qualification will not be granted).

- Restricted such that only characters who have completed the 6th Job Advancement may be designated as representative characters.
