MapleStory Classic Ellinia Guide: NPCs, Shops, Town Quests
MapleStory Classic Ellinia guide: every NPC and where they stand, Flora, Serabi and Len's stock, all town quests with rewards, and a quest route by level.
In this guide 12 sections
Checked against v1.0.0 on October 29, 2026.
Ellinia is the Magician home town of Victoria Island, "built among the canopy of an ancient forest," with rope ladders, wooden walkways and treetop platforms (MapleClassic Wiki). Normally no monsters spawn in town; the Halloween event's Orange Slimes are the exception until November 18. It's a climb, not a street, so knowing where each NPC stands saves real time. This MapleStory Classic Ellinia guide maps every NPC, lists each shop's current stock, and covers every town quest with its live reward.
Quick summary
- 12 NPCs and stations in town (9 people plus 3 crafting stations), and 5 more behind doors, plus 3 in the hidden Circulation Desk (MapleStory Quest, HubCW).
- 22 quests start here or hunt nearby (HubCW). Grendel the Really Old in the Magic Library handles 1st and 2nd job for Magicians (wiki, MapleStory Quest).
- Three shops: Flora (13 weapons, wands and staves up to level 25), Serabi (61 armor pieces) and Len (22 consumables, with the Magic Potion) (NiaMeowDB's recorded inventories).
- Best town quests: Rowen's five Cursed Doll quests (35,100 EXP and a class hat at the end), Wing's Flying Medicine pair (21,600 EXP and an Icarus Cape) and Arwen's repeatable Glass Shoe (our math from MapleStory Quest).
- Ellinia Station is there, but the airship isn't. Orbis and El Nath are still closed after Grand Launch, with no date (Nexon; our roadmap guide).

Shop in Ellinia
Len the Fairy, Department Store
Both sources list 22 items at the same prices: Red, Orange, White and Blue Potions (50 / 150 / 350 / 220), Magic Potion 500, Speed Potion 500, Apple 20, Egg 30, Meat 80, Orange 50, Lemon 150, Pet Food 35, five Dyes (1,000 each), Return Scroll – Nearest Town 400, Return Scroll to Ellinia 500, arrows 1 each, and Subi Throwing Stars 500. Ellinia's special potion is the Magic Potion. Kerning's Pharmacy sells Warrior and Dexterity Potions instead (MapleStory Quest).
Flora the Fairy, Weapon Store
| Type | Items and prices (mesos) |
|---|---|
| Wands | Wooden Wand 3,000; Hardwood Wand 5,000; Metal Wand 10,500; Ice Wand 13,500 |
| Staffs | Wooden Staff 3,000; Sapphire Staff 5,000; Emerald Staff 5,000; Old Wooden Staff 10,500; Wizard Staff 13,500 |
| Maces | Mace 5,000; Iron Mace 10,500; Fusion Mace 13,500 |
| Other | Sky Blue Umbrella 14,700 |
That's NiaMeowDB's complete 13-item inventory. Older closed-test lists also show a Mithril Wand at 22,000, but it isn't in the live stock, matching the other top-tier weapons cut from Victoria shops at launch. Past the Ice Wand, wands come from Arcforge; see our wands and staves guide. Our Magician guide notes Grendel hands you a free Beginner's Wooden Wand at 1st job, just 1 magic attack below Flora's Wooden Wand. The Maces are covered in our blunt weapons guide.
Serabi the Fairy, Weapon Store
NiaMeowDB records 61 armor items at these prices:
| Slot | Items and prices (mesos) |
|---|---|
| Earrings | Weighted Earrings 9,000; Yellow Square 9,000; Gold Earrings 11,250 |
| Hats | Apprentice Hats 1,200; Moon Conehats 1,800; Wizardry Hats 3,600 |
| Tops (men's) | Training Shirts 2,000; Split Pieces 6,000 |
| Tops (women's) | Armines 2,000; Ariannes 3,000; Splits 6,000 |
| Overalls | Plain Robes 5,400; Doros and Doroness Robes 13,500 |
| Bottoms | Training Pants 1,600; Armine Skirts 1,600; Arianne Skirts 2,400; Split Pants and Skirts 4,800 |
| Shoes | Basic Boots 1,200; Nitties 1,800; Jewelry Boots 3,600; Wind Shoes 4,500 |
Older closed-test lists add Blue and Green Jesters, Fairy Tops, Fairy Skirts and Wizard Robes, but none of those are in the live inventory, so find them on the Free Market or as drops. Since Grand Launch, the Green Jester Hat correctly has its +18 Magic Defense (Nexon). Our earrings guide compares Serabi's three earrings with the free quest ones, and our hats guide covers every hat by job.
Do the Ellinia town quests
These come from Ellinia NPCs, with Public Release rewards and the change from Closed Online Test 2 (MapleStory Quest):
| Quest | Giver | Lv | EXP (CoT2 → release) | Mesos | Task and item reward |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| I Need Help on My Homework! | Wing | 10 | 171 → 188 | 351 | 10 Leaves, 10 Squishy Liquid, 3 Slime Bubbles. 10 Blue Potions and 2 Return Scrolls to Ellinia |
| Francois in Need of an Apprentice | Francois | 10 | 171 → 188 | 351 | 30 Dark Stumps, 20 Leaves. Tailoring starter |
| How to Enjoy Mushrooms | Shane | 14 | 546 → 535 | 468 | 30 Green Mushrooms, 15 Green Mushroom Caps |
| How to Enjoy Mushrooms Even More | Shane | 14 | 546 → 535 | 468 | The same, plus a Lemon. 5 Iron Ore |

| We Hold Your Place | Grendel | 28 | 4,090 | 892 | After The Dark Lord's Signature. Amended Ledger |
| Arwen and the Glass Shoe (repeatable) | Arwen | 29 | 3,037 → 4,430 | 848 → 921 | 1 Arwen's Glass Shoe. Piece of Ice or Fairy Wing, 50/50 |
| The Magician's Next Journey / Finding the Instructor | Grendel | 30 | 4,780 each | – | Magician 2nd job |
| Cold Milk / Satisfied Ronnie | Rowen | 32 | 5,850 each | 1,023 each | A Diamond, then Fresh Milk. Part of Ronnie's chain |
| Collecting 50 / 70 / 100 / 150 / 200 Cursed Dolls | Rowen | 36 | 4,387 → 7,020 each | 1,140 each | Zombie Lupins and Cursed Dolls. 7 ore of a random type at 50; a class hat at 200. See our Monkey Forest guide for Zombie Lupin maps |
| The Ingredients for the Flying Medicine | Wing | 46 | 10,800 | 1,447 | 50 Medicine With Weird Vibes, 20 Witchgrass Leaves |
| Delivering the Flying Medicine | Wing | 46 | 6,862 → 10,800 | 1,447 | Icarus Cape (green, yellow or blue, 1 in 3 each); see our capes guide |
Wing's last two quests continue Icarus's In search of Wing the Fairy from Kerning City (MapleStory Quest; our Icarus Cape quest guide). Grendel's We Hold Your Place is the last step of the Caretaker's Ledger chain, which starts with Lyn the Librarian in the hidden Circulation Desk above the Magic Library and needs 25 Torn Ledger Pages since the October 15 patch. Rowen's milk quests continue the Secret Book line that starts in Sleepywood.
Rowen's Cursed Doll hats
The 200-doll quest gives one item per class (MapleStory Quest):
| Class | Reward |
|---|---|
| Beginner | Old Wisconsin |
| Warrior | Steel Nordic Helm |
| Magician | Dark Guiltian |
| Bowman | Dark Distinction |
| Thief | Dark Pilfer |
The chain opens after Returned Secret Book (MapleStory Quest), which is Ronnie's quest in the Forest Up North.
What the chains add up to (our math)
- Rowen's dolls: 5 × 7,020 = 35,100 EXP and 5,700 mesos, for 50 + 70 + 100 + 150 + 200 = 570 Zombie Lupin kills and 570 Cursed Dolls. The release raised each step from 4,387 EXP, a 60% increase.
- Wing: 188 + 10,800 + 10,800 = 21,788 EXP.
- Shane: 1,070 EXP, 936 mesos and 5 Iron Ore for 60 Green Mushrooms.
- Francois: 188 + 669 + 3,060 = 3,917 EXP across the Tailoring line, counting the weekly once.
Plan your Ellinia route by level
This route is ours, built from the quest levels above:

| 14 | Shane's two mushroom quests | Green Mushrooms nearby |
| 17 | Betty's fossil quests, if you're on the Perion chain | Turns in here |
| 25 | A Tailor in My Own Right! | Needs Tailoring 5 |
| 28–30 | The Caretaker's Ledger, ending with We Hold Your Place, then Magician 2nd job | Start with Lyn above the Magic Library |
| 29+ | Arwen's Glass Shoe whenever you have one | Repeatable |
| 32–36 | Ronnie's chain, then Rowen's milk and doll quests | Zombie Lupins |
| 46 | Wing's Flying Medicine pair | After Icarus in Kerning City |
Compare ways to reach Ellinia
| Method | Cost (mesos, below Lv 20 / Lv 20+) | Notes | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Regular Cab from Henesys or Perion | 500 / 1,000 | Cheapest cab in | Wiki via our travel guide |
| Regular Cab from Kerning City | 600 / 1,200 | Same | |

| Walk | Free | The Forest North of Ellinia links east toward Perion | Our Forest Up North guide |
Fares out of Ellinia aren't listed on the wiki yet (our travel guide). Check the Regular Cab in town.
For alts and returning players
- Returning from original MapleStory? Wing's homework, Arwen's Glass Shoe and Rowen's Cursed Dolls are all here. Classic adds the crafting stations and Francois's Tailoring line (MapleStory Quest; our crafting guide). The Orbis airship isn't in the game yet (wiki; Nexon).
- CoT2 testers: Arwen's Tracing the Resonance and The Yawning Abyss and Grendel's Lv 39 Hollow quests aren't in the Public Release (MapleStory Quest). Our Forgotten Hollow guide tracks that content.
- Every class can use Rowen's chain. The final hat matches your job, so the dolls are worth doing on each alt at 36.
- Pet owners: visit Mar the Fairy in Marr's Forest when a pet turns into a doll (our pets guide).
- Halloween visitors: Malady's Halloween quest, running until November 18, sends you to Ronnie in the Tree Tunnel north of Ellinia and to Estelle on the Field South of Ellinia (henesys.gg); our Halloween event guide has the route.

What changed in Ellinia at Grand Launch
Grand Launch (v1.0.0, October 21, 2026) didn't move any Ellinia NPC or change a town quest reward. The changes that touch Ellinia, from Nexon's Grand Launch release notes and maintenance notes:
| Change | What it means in Ellinia |
|---|---|
| Improved MP Recovery: +10% to +25% MP from potions (was +5% to +20%) | Magicians get more from Len's Blue and Magic Potions |
| Every craft can make a house station, including a Sewing Machine, a woodcrafting station and an Arcane Station | The stations in town now have home versions for housing in Henesys or Kerning City |
| More potion drops from monsters level 10–30 | The fields north and south of town pay for themselves sooner |
| Halloween Orange Slimes in town, October 28 to November 18 | Monsters in town for the event only |
| Green Jester Hat fixed to +18 Magic Defense | Matters if you buy one secondhand |
Orbis, El Nath and third job are still closed, so the Station stays a dead end and Grendel's teaching ends at 2nd job. The MapleStory Classic hub collects every guide for the game.

Grendel the Really Old is in the Magic Library, behind a door in town. He also gives the 2nd job quests at 30 (wiki, MapleStory Quest).

Not yet. Ellinia Station and its ushers are in the game, but the airship isn't, and Nexon says Orbis and El Nath will be released gradually with no date given (Nexon; our roadmap guide).

A class item: Old Wisconsin, Steel Nordic Helm, Dark Guiltian, Dark Distinction or Dark Pilfer, plus 7,020 EXP and 1,140 mesos (MapleStory Quest).

Yes. It needs level 29 and gives 4,430 EXP, 921 mesos and a Piece of Ice or Fairy Wing (MapleStory Quest).
