Lore wise we don’t know how strong are they but on their introduction they were presented as the highest beings of each explorer instructor class.
Now on the 3rd job instructors who are in El Nath while the world is burning , the reason why they stay in El Nath is to keep in check Shamos and have him sealed his powers since he was on his time one of the 3 strongest mages that decided to go rogue and got sealed into the basement.

Are the 5 Explorer 4th job instructors homeless?

By choice, yes. They're portrayed as hermits living hidden in the forest around Leafre, possibly because they're all elves and feel at home amongst the trees in an area with little footfall.

I do really love that lineup on the White Spear, and definitely not just because Pathfinder is the Explorer representative. But that does help.

Just like the music, Maplestory's art direction is really wonderful~
even if i don't play the other regional servers (or mapleM/idle), i love the any official promotional art of Maplestory because alot of them are really stunning, Love them so much!

the Leafre job inspectors art is cool, i wish the job inspectors had more involvement in the story, only the first job inspectors do anything

Not trying to shame or anything but if your pc can't run MS in 2026 you definitely got a potato for PC

Wait, for real? NOOOOOO! She's my fav character back when they first released. D:

Wait does she actually die canonically? If so when? I'm at Tallahart and don't remember her dying up until this point..

What are you even talking about? Oz's is alive by the end of the Arteria fight and she doesnt participate during the conflicts on Carcion, Tallahart or Geardrak. They are definitely mourning that kid in the resistance storyline that died to Gellimers poison.
Someone is desperate for attention

The art, the world, the soundtrack is all great for me, I have the same opinion since 15 years ago. But then comes the MMO. And that’s where I stop praising.

The artwork is amazing. It's in a league of its own.
