Original Islander Community Rankings / Guides can be found here: Spoiler https://royals.ms/forum/threads/islander-community-rankings-guides.17081/ To Join the Islander community comment below that you are interested and we can make a time to get you into the alliance!! We have a devoted Islander Discord for getting information and training buddies going! Discord Link: discord.gg/WwccSsM INTRODUCTION: Welcome to the first and last place you'll live! A lot of this information is rehashed and directly copied from the original post. Islanding is the lifestyle of never leaving the tutorial! You stay on Maple Island and never take the boat! I am keeping majority of this simplified from previous Community post for a more digestible experience! Spoiler Q: What is an islander? A: An islander is a character which does not leave Maple Island and continues to level past level 10 there indefinitely. Q: Why make an islander? A: Islanding is a lifestyle of get out what you put in! There is no real item meta and no real competition. It's a relaxed lifestyle and casual grind (for the most part) to just see how far you can get! Q: Should I make an islander? A: Islanding is a rewarding lifestyle of killing mushrooms and pigs for the rest of time! While the choice is up to you our little community welcomes everybody and anybody who is looking to join! Try it and find our for yourself! Q: How did you get that cool hair / face? A: Those who have non-default faces acquired them by donating to the server in return for RP (Royal Points) or you can slightly custom the default styles by completing "A Favour for Bobby" which rewards you with Bobby's Coupon that allows you to change it up! Islander Vocabulary Learn the lingo! Spoiler Camper / Applelander: These terms refer to characters which stay and level in the apple training camp tutorial. Strlander: An Islander which purely adds Str. Dexlander: An islander which purely adds Dex, or adds enough dex to achieve 80 minimum damage with thier final weapon. Hybrid: An islander which has added both Str and Dex. Some Dexlanders who hit 80 minimum damage and start adding Str do not consider themselves actual hybrids. Magelander: An islander which has the stats (55 Int 20 Luk) to wield the common weapon Metal Wand. Luklander: An islander which increases their Luk stat. Perfectlander: Refers to a specific build IslandSlut came up with which attempts to covers all the bases of novelty and efficiency. A perfectlander first adds wand stats and is a magelander, then adds enough dex to hit minimum 80 damage with a fast weapon, then continues adding LUK into infinitude. The goal is novelty and top efficiency of grinding. Mush / Mushy / Mushies: Generally referring to Orange Mushrooms or sometimes more broadly the map where Orange Mushrooms are most prominent, Dangerous Forest. Afklander / Chillander: Islander that is never seen moving! Usually sitting in a chair and never actively training! Ropelander: A lighthearted nickname for islanders with lazy training habits who take breaks from training often by hopping onto a rope (perhaps after gaining a certain percentage of experience). Quitlander: The term quitlander is generally a tongue in cheek joke which references the predominance of islanders who quit to suggest some islander who may be simply taking a break to deal with real life responsibilities or off island characters is actually really a quitter who is leaving us forever. Famelander: This term refers to an islander whose main goal appears to be the accumulation of fame or defame. Such a person might only log in to trade fame, perhaps even using level 15 mule to trade more than would usually be possible. Eventlander: An Eventlander is an Islander you only see during Island participatable events! Always looking for those goodies when the time is opportune! Offlander: Refers to any character off Maple Island. Usually in reference to your alternate characters or scrubs that took the boat! Build Guides How to get your Islander suited and ready to kill those mushrooms! Spoiler The two skills which provide the best utility to islanders are Three Snails and Nimble Feet, max these. DEX Islander (Dexlander) For this build you only increase your DEX stat in attempts to build a high enough minimum damage (80) to eventually 1-hit KO orange mushrooms and pigs every time at higher levels (around level 32+). Once you reach 80 minimum damage (ideally with a decent maple umbrella) it's up to you if you want to continue to add more DEX or if you want to start adding STR for more damaging hits. Either way it doesn't make a difference in the current island. You will most likely have your ban revoked if you explain the situation politely on the forum. Some efficient training spots for a Dexlander on the rise include Hunting Ground In The Middle Of The Forest I and Field East Of Amherst. STR Islander (Strlander) For this build you only increase your STR stat in attempts to build a large enough damage range to eventually 1-hit KO orange mushrooms and pigs most of the time (not 100%) at higher levels. Since this build specifically lacks DEX it's possible that you will find yourself having to attack enemies twice often and even at higher levels every once in awhile you still might hit beneath the necessary damage to 1-hit KO a monster. This can be frustrating and relatively inefficient and some islanders avoid this build because of it. This build was popular in official servers because 1x exp made it difficult to to achieve the levels necessary to accumulate enough DEX to achieve 80 minimum damage. Building STR allowed lower level islanders to grind on higher level mobs much quicker and therefore level up much faster in the short run and since most islanders didn't have the dedication required to achieve 80 minimum damage with a DEX build. This was a quick go-to casual build for the time. With 3x exp in this server a pure DEX build is much more viable, even for casual islanders, and in my opinion worth the time investment. Hybrid Islander Mixing STR and DEX in a build is not recommended because both pure STR and pure DEX builds have a specific purposes, build towards 1-hit kill potential in their own ways. Taking focus out of either by mixing stats only slows down the goals of the individual builds. For example if you are a STRlander and have been so for 35 levels then suddenly start adding dex it will only take away from the explicit goal of a pure STR build: to try to expand your damage range exponentially in order to 1-hit KO mobs most of the time. You would make more use out of a rapidly growing maximum damage than you would a measly amount of minimum damage at this point. For another example if you are building pure DEX you should get 80 minimum damage first before adding STR because 80 minimum damage as quick as possible is the explicit goal of the build. Most hybrid built islanders became so because they realized the inherent frustration and inefficiency of being a STRlander a little too late and wanted to be DEX. Magelander A magelander is a character which stays on Maple Island and increases their INT and LUK in order to wield the level 18 beginner wand, Metal Wand. The wand requires 55 INT and 20 LUK. People who make magelander characters sometimes do it to appeal to off-island mage aesthetic, feigning that throwing a snail shell is their form of magic. Often after achieving the stats necessary to wield the wand magelander characters proceed to add STR, DEX or extra MP. If your magelander is only going to use red snails shells only then a shell efficient solo training spot for them would be The Field East Of Amherst due to the high concentration of red snails and stumps which you can kill efficiently with red shells. Slimes are the exception since killing them with two shells is often a waste, but luckily they aren't the majority in this map. LUK Islander (Luklander) An islander which increases their LUK stat in order to accumulate high amounts of avoidability on island so that creatures will 'miss' them often. Generally not recommended to go down this route from level one since 1. The amount of avoidability granted to islanders from LUK is rather negligible any ways. 2. You will lack a way of inflicting consistent damage in order to level. I recommend you build DEX until 80 minimum damage first, then add LUK (see my perfect islander build below) If you do only add LUK you'll probably be using red snail shells, good training spots for a LUKlander are similar to the Magelander's above. "Perfect" Islander Build (Perfectlander) The first step of this build is to achieve wand stats (55 Int, 20 Luk) in order to wield the metal wand, for the novelty. You should add the INT first, even before you level to 2, because of HP wash potential. Then you should add everything into dex until you can 1-hit mushrooms / pigs with a speedy weapon like maplemas lights or maple umbrella (80 minimum damage). Following that you should put the rest into your Luk and go for high amounts of avoidability. At level 13 you should have wand stats. It is likely you will be around level 28-30 by the time you can 1-hit stumps and red snails (40 minimum.) It could take upwards of 13500 red snail shells and 3250 green apples worth of MP to reach this point, because you will likely be training with three snails. Training efficiently as a 40 minimum damage dexlander means taking top / mid in a Dangerous Forest duo or solo training on a map filled mostly with red snails and stumps. Island Event Item Meta With events being a strong foundation for majority of the Best in Slot items here is a list of what you can obtain from the events! Spoiler Islanders can partipate in several events! These lists are subject to change as the event items obtainable change regularly! Valentines: All the roses are obtainable! Yellow, Red, White and Blue! Anniversary: This is one of the biggest events for Islanders as you can get Maple Umbrellas, Anniversary earrings/leaf, Maple cape, Maple Gage, Maple shield, both variations of the maple bandanas in white, yellow, red and blue, maple swords, maple flag and a variety of chairs! Halloween: The event for the best in slot hat! Take your chances at using Normal Witch Scrolls on witch hats for that ultimate flex at luck! Apart from witch hats you can get Halloween basket, pumpkin spear, pumpkin lantern, broomstick (which is also scrollable using the same normal witch scrolls) and a variety of chairs. Christmas: Maplemas Lights galore! The staple weapon for majority of Islanders if not using a Maple Umbrella! Apart from Maplemas lights you can pick up Christmas Tree, Maplemas Tree, and versalmas cactus. Also several chairs to choose from Best in slot from each event! Spoiler This list is my take on the Event items that you DO NOT WANT TO MISS, but is not including all of the cool items you can get! Will expand on this as time goes, but the top dogs are listed below. Event Items to have: Anniversary Maple Umbrella (Level 30) Wep Atk: 40-50 (up to 55) Speed: 10-14 (up to 19) Maple Cape (Level 20) 5 Def / 5 M.Def 5 Slots - Can scroll with Dex or Luk 100% scrolls found on Island Anniversary Scarf (Level 50) Wep Def: 25 Mag Def: 25 All Stats: 4 HP: 40 MP: 40 Wep Atk: 1 Mag Atk: 1 Anniversary Leaf (Level 50) Wep Def: 20 Mag Def: 20 All Stats: 2 Speed: 5 Halloween Talking Witch Hat (Level 20) 1 All Stats, 100MP, 15 Def/M.Def - Can be scrolled by Normal Witch Scrolls that act like Chaos Scrolls. Christmas Maplemas Lights (Level 25) Wep Atk: 38-48 (up to 53) Speed: 9-11 (up to 16) Training recommendations! Spoiler In the early stages before you are able to one hit pigs and orange mushrooms it is advised to party up with some in Dangerous Forest! Once you are able to one hit you can continue to party of solo Dangerous Forest (Primarily Orange Mushrooms) or Hunting Ground Middle of the Forest II just east of Amherst. (Primarily Pigs) Now with this being said that doesn't mean okay experience can't be had at other locations of island just that compared to these two maps they are subpar in comparison! EXP 1 -30: 366,872 EXP 1-70: 26,120,021 Dangerous Forest: Great party map to be divided by 2 or 3. Orange Mushrooms drop White Gomushin and Shoes for jump 10% which are end game shoes and scrolls for Islanders. Most progression and fun is had here as you can work towards gearing your shoes up while also getting great experience! Hunting Ground Middle of the Forest II: This is the best exp per hour map when soloing. However, Pigs don't drop much in terms of proper gear. The only trade off of the extra experience is you don't get to hunt for shoe goodies, but if you are trying to get to a goal level this is the spot! Avg exp 75k-84k per hour assuming 1 hit, high speed/jump and using three snails Equipment Hall of Fame 2021 For this section comment below your equipment you want put in Hall of Fame with a back story behind it to have it added! Spoiler work in progress Islander Ranges! Submit your range in this thread to have it added! Spoiler work in progress JOIN US TODAY!
We have room in the guilds for plenty more additions! Not to mention a ton of events items to go around for anybody interested in joining!
I started an Islander the day before yesterday. My IGN: Eilander (Dutch for Islander). I am looking forward to the community on the island.
not a islander, but can we have the hall of fame 2021 of those crazy island equips here LOL Those are good stuff
Welcome! I added you to buddy list and can add you to an Island guild if you so choose to join! Added hall of fame and looking for submissions!
New thread, I'll share some updates! Working towards my long term goal of 70. Spoiler: Level 65! I can't remember how I got possession of this, but I think I let someone borrow it while I was taking a break. Never saw it again LOL Spoiler: I miss you :( This is my most prized possession. Spent an unhealthy amount of time trying to roll this during Halloween 2020. Spoiler: 21 Speed Broomstick This weapon has the best memories attached to it. Found this during Christmas 2016, which was the best fun I've ever had playing Royals. I had lots of good friends who were highly active at that time (especially Oahu, who you'll see in the messages). Spoiler: 16 Speed Lights For some reason I'm ridiculously good at scrolling hats (but literally nothing else). Spoiler: Hats As I was going through these screenshots, I found some very nostalgic memories, dating back five or six years. I'll try to collate them into some kind of story and upload them some time in the near future. Peace ya'll.
Finally decided to make one and join in on the shenanigans! I've always been impressed by the overall dedication of the Islander Community (be it the choice of game style itself not to mention the very detailed and effort driven guides) as well as the, well, community atmosphere you guys seem to have here. Got pretty lucky finding a surfboard at level 15 in the slime focused map but I'd like to get one with higher attack I'll join the Discord later as well!
