How to Travel Around Victoria Island in MapleStory Classic World: Cabs, Boats and Walking Routes

The fastest way between towns on Victoria Island is the Regular Cab, a paid taxi that stands in Henesys, Ellinia, Perion, Kerning City and Sleepywood. From Lith Harbor there's no Regular Cab, so you walk inland or pay for a ride out. Everything else is on foot through the hunting maps, or instant with a return scroll. In Classic World there are no boats off Victoria Island at launch: the Ellinia airship to Orbis doesn't run.

Who drives where (game data)

The town NPC lists in our game data put a Regular Cab in five towns and none in Lith Harbor, and VIP Cabs only in Lith Harbor and Ellinia.

The Regular Cab

Talk to the cab driver, pick a town, pay mesos, and you're there. Exact fares depend on your level, and sources don't agree on the rules yet:

• One community source says Beginners (no job yet) ride at 90% off, so ride to your job town before advancing.
• Another says fares double from level 20, except to and from Sleepywood, and lists Sleepywood's cab at 2,500 mesos to Henesys, Ellinia, Perion or Kerning City.

We haven't confirmed a full fare table on the live server. What's official: citizens get a discount on cab prices (Nexon), and community sources agree it scales from 5% at Traveler to 25% at Citizen of Honor, in your active citizenship town only. See Citizenship Grades and Rewards.

The VIP Cab

The VIP Cab in Lith Harbor and Ellinia is a premium ride. One community source says it goes to Ant Tunnel Park for 10,000 mesos, the deep dungeon hub under Sleepywood. Handy for Ant Tunnel training, expensive for anything else.

Leaving Lith Harbor

Every new character lands in Lith Harbor off the boat from Maple Island (how that works). Your options:

1. Walk. The east exit leads to Right Around Lith Harbor and the 3-Way Road-Split, a level 1 to 10 map with Snails, Slimes, Pigs and Orange Mushrooms. Keep heading toward Henesys from there.
2. Pay for a ride. One community source says Phil runs one-way rides from Lith Harbor to Perion, Ellinia, Henesys or Kerning City (not Sleepywood), listed at 400 to 600 mesos for levels 10 to 19. Another lists Mr. Kim as Lith Harbor's transport NPC, so check both in game.
3. Florina Beach. One community source says Pason takes you to Florina Beach for 1,500 mesos, and Pison brings you back. Another lists Pason as a storage NPC instead. Unconfirmed.

To get back to Lith Harbor later, use a cab from a town that serves it, walk, or use a Return Scroll to Lith Harbor.

Walking routes between towns

Walking is free and you'll pick up drops on the way. Community map records describe these connections:

• Henesys: west portal → hunting grounds toward Lith Harbor and Kerning City; east portal → pig fields all the way to Ellinia; northeast → Sleepywood.
• Kerning City: east and west portals → the Middle Forest chain (eventually reaching Henesys); north → Construction Site North of Kerning City.
• Perion: the highest town on the island, and one of the two towns with a Free Market portal.
• Sleepywood: the cave entrance leads into the Ant Tunnel and dungeon network.

Return scrolls

Return scrolls teleport you instantly. The game data has one for every town: Return Scroll - Nearest Town, plus Lith Harbor, Henesys, Ellinia, Perion, Kerning City, Sleepywood and, for homeowners, My Home.

Free ones to grab:

• Olaf's Second Training in Lith Harbor (level 8) gives 3 Return Scroll - Nearest Town.
• The launch event The Journey Begins gives 5 Return Scroll - Nearest Town on check-in day 5 (until November 18).
• Citizens get the town discount on return scrolls in their home-town shops.
