== Closed Beta NPCs ==
== Unused NPCs ==
The oldest available closed beta client for Korean MapleStory (circa 2003) contains four unused NPCs. While these NPCs have functions, dialogue, and quests defined in the game files, they were never actually implemented. They were likely either used in an earlier build or planned but abandoned before this version.
=== Closed Beta NPCs ===
To read information about the Korean Closed Beta NPCs, you can read the article specifically related to that era of the game: [[Korean Closed Beta#NPCs | Korean Closed Beta NPCs]]


Notably, some of these NPCs have low ID numbers, suggesting they were created during the earliest stages of development. Little information about these NPCs exists in old Korean MapleStory forums.

반스 ''(Banseu)'' is an NPC dressed in a green guard uniform, carrying a staff topped with gold. His hat is distinctly mushroom-shaped. Based on his nearly identical uniform, he appears to have been designed as a guard alongside [[#에블라 | 에블라 ''(Ebeulla)'']].
''(Romanized: Rupert)'' is an NPC that shares sprite with [https://bbb.hidden-street.net/npc/magician-job-instructor Magician Job Instructor]. He was first found in Happyville, before El Nath was introduced in the game.[[#ref1|[1]]] He was moved to El Nath once it was released.[[#ref2|[2]]] He has the quest value of ''job_3th'', and contrary to the previous NPCs that had a quest value, this one is unique, was never reused, and in the [[BrasilMS_Server_Leak | BrasilMS Server Leak]] the script for it is totally empty.


His quest value of ''fighter'' in the game files suggests he was the NPC responsible for Swordsman job advancements during the closed beta period.
This NPC was used on Tespia during the test of 3rd job advancement, and was used to facilitate the job advancement before the quest for it was introduced to the game.


Banseu has three dialogues:

There was a short-lived rebirth system that took place in the Japanese MapleStory test server in 2011[[#ref3|[3]]] where players, once reaching 120, could rebirth into any other class under the same tree-branch. Adventurers could choose any adventurer class, Cygnus Knights could choose any Cygnus Knight. The rest of classes weren't available to rebirth and it was limited only to the previously named. This system never made it out of the test server.


에블라 ''(Ebeulla)'' wears a green uniform nearly identical to [[#반스 | 반스 ''(Banseu)'''''s]], but carries a polearm instead of a staff, giving him a more warrior-like appearance.
To do this, you would need to talk to your original first job advancement NPC, and you would be teleported to a White Map (similar to the GM map) with the NPC Asia on it. There, you will be able to select your desired new job, and be able to change your looks and gender. Your skills, AP and SP would carry over the new job. To do this however, you would to buy a special item on the Cash Shop for 1,000 NX[[#ref4|[4]]].
His quest value is set to ''magician'' in the game files, suggesting he served as the Magician job advancement NPC before Grendel the Really Old was introduced, despite his design.


Ebeulla has the following dialogues:
These two videos ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Up5yG06ed4 Adventurer Rebirth], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ethkWczFIjE Cygnus Knights Rebirth]) show more details about the way the system works.

An interesting detail in his dialogue is a reference to 엠블라 ''(Embla)'', described as a renowned scholar. This NPC does not appear anywhere in the game files, suggesting Embla may have been an even earlier NPC from pre-beta development that was removed before this build. However, there is currently no way to confirm this theory.

There was a short-lived rebirth system that took place in the Japanese MapleStory test server in 2011[3] where players, once reaching 120, could rebirth into any other class under the same tree-branch. Adventurers could choose any adventurer class, Cygnus Knights could choose any Cygnus Knight. The rest of classes weren't available to rebirth and it was limited only to the previously named. This system never made it out of the test server.

To do this, you would need to talk to your original first job advancement NPC, and you would be teleported to a White Map (similar to the GM map) with the NPC Asia on it. There, you will be able to select your desired new job, and be able to change your looks and gender. Your skills, AP and SP would carry over the new job. To do this however, you would to buy a special item on the Cash Shop for 1,000 NX[4].

These two videos (Adventurer Rebirth, Cygnus Knights Rebirth) show more details about the way the system works.
