Generic Training Guide 1~100 by Blankaex (Post Big Bang)
Welcome to my (Post Big Bang) guide on how to get from level 1 to 100 in MapleStory!
The locations/methods in blue are recommended.
The locations/methods in red are alternatives.
Level 1~10
Spoiler!
If you can't do this without a guide, you should get off MapleStory right away. But for those who are curious anyway, have a read.
Tutorial quests.
Hands down, truly the best way to get exp at low levels. You don't even need an explanation here.
Low-level monsters around Lith Harbour and Henesys. Monsters such as Snails, Blue Snails, Red Snails, Stumps, Orange Mushrooms, Slimes, etc.
This is second best if you chose to be an explorer and skip the tutorial.
Level 10~13
Spoiler!
Job Quests.
These are best for level 10~13, as they will also provide potions that will last until level 25~30.
Henesys PQ
This is relatively fast as well, if you find a good party, but the downside is that you have to provide your own potions.
Low-level monsters around Lith Harbour and Henesys. Monsters such as Snails, Blue Snails, Red Snails, Stumps, Orange Mushrooms, Slimes, etc.
This is only for people who for some reason do not want to do the Job Quests and will or can not do Henesys PQ. It's not very recommended and is relatively slow.
Level 13~18
Spoiler!
Blue Ribbon Pigs.
This is by far the best training spot you can find at this level. Blue Ribbon Pigs are level 13, have 200 HP and give 32 EXP! Level 13! 32 EXP! And another bonus is that their etc. drop can be NPC'd for 100 mesos, making quick money if you decide to loot them.
Suggested map: "Beach: Blue Ribbon Beach"
Henesys PQ
This is an alternative for when you get bored of Blue Ribbon Pigs. Again, not as fast as Blue Ribbon pigs (I doubt anything is), but still decent EXP.
Level 18~20
Spoiler!
Sealed Demon Quest (Catch Valefor!, Marbas the Demon, etc.). (Non-Resistance)
This quest is excellent. If you do it at level 18, it gets you to nearly level 20. The demon is pretty easy to beat, then you get a free hat which has +12 of your main stat. SWEET! And the quest reward is 5200 EXP as well, which, when done at level 18, will get you to level 19 at 99.97% EXP (because you can't level up twice), 1 EXP short from level 20.
Rotting Skeletons
These are pretty good EXP, but may be a bit too much at level 18.
Blue Ribbon Pigs
These are no longer excellent, merely decent now. You can still train on these if you wish, but don't be expecting any quick results like from when you were level 13.
Level 20~25
Spoiler!
Rotting Skeletons
These are probably the best you can do at level 20~30. They have 850 HP and give 72 exp at level 20. You will not be missing them, and if you can constantly hit over 425 in one hit with a mob attack, you're good to go.
Henesys PQ
This is not as good any more EXP-wise, and becomes rather slow at this point. It should be given up by now, if done at all.
Blue Ribbon Pigs
Still decent exp, but not as fast as Rotting Skeletons. This is your best alternative if you can't hit much on Rotting Skeletons.
Level 25~30
Spoiler!
Rotting Skeletons
At level 25, Rotting Skeletons should be 1~2 hits each for you, making them excellent EXP.
Lupins
Lupins are decent EXP, not as much as Rotting Skeletons though.
Zombie Lupins
Same as Lupins, they are decent EXP, but Rotting Skeletons give more. There has been some debate about which is better, considering the low-ish spawn rate of Rotting Skeletons compared to the quick, multiple spawns of the Zombie Lupins.
Subway PQ (Mr. Lim)
This PQ is pretty good EXP, but it's very tedious. You will get bored of it very quickly.
Level 30~35
Spoiler!
Mushroom Kingdom Quests
These quests are worth doing, they give you excellent EXP for their level. Also, at the end, you get a glove with 1 Weapon Attack and 2 Magic Attack CLEAN. You also get a +2 all medal from it.
CPQ (Monster Carnival)
This PQ is pretty good EXP, but at lower levels, people will not want to go with you. You get more EXP from grinding in this PQ than from the EXP reward at the end.
Rotting Skeletons
These are not so good at this level any more, but not bad either. Relatively slower now, because the spawn rate isn't that good.
Level 35~40
Spoiler!
Kerning Square Quests
This is like the Mushroom Kingdom quests. Excellent EXP, and an awesome reward at the end. In this case, it's a +1 all stats earring.
Kerning Square 5/6 Floor
Rather than doing the quests, you could try training on the monsters. At level 35~40, the suggested place to train is the 5/6 floor with the mannequins.
Royal Guard Pepes
An alternative training spot, but not as good as Kerning Square. The spawn is arguably higher, though, and Royal Guard Pepes do drop 60% Overall LUK Scrolls, making you some decent money if you find one.
CPQ (Monster Carnival)
This is better around this level, but not very good unless you do room 5/6, otherwise your teammate will most likely get fed up with your slow killing and KS you so he can get more EXP.
Level 40~45
Spoiler!
Kerning Square: 7/8 Floor: Area A
The CDs here are excellent EXP for 40~45. They could even last you to 50 if you wanted. But the drawback is that everyone knows this. The map is usually crowded. An alternative is to go to Area B by talking to the NPC and selecting the "I'm helping Blake" option.
CPQ (Monster Carnival)
This is when CPQ starts getting awesome. If you get a good partner, you can split the map and kill like crazy and get crazy EXP.
Level 45~51
Spoiler!
CPQ (Monster Carnival)
CPQ is your best bet right now. You are in the godly level range of CPQ and everyone will want to team up with you to win. And you get a lot of EXP from CPQ as well.
Dead Scarecrows
These are pretty good EXP, but are level 50 and do a huge amount of damage. You will miss quite often here, so do not train here unless you are confident with your accuracy.
Kerning Square 7/8 Floor: Area A
Level 51~55
Spoiler!
Dead Scarecrows
CPQ2 (Monster Carnival 2)
Level 55~60
Spoiler!
PPQ (Lord Pirate PQ)
Dead Scarecrows
Toy Trojans
White Fangs
CPQ2 (Monster Carnival 2)
Level 60~70
Spoiler!
Sea of Fog: Ghost Ship PQ
Master Robos
Robos
Level 70~75
Spoiler!
Twisted Jesters
Sea of Fog: Ghost Ship PQ
Level 75~80
Spoiler!
Twisted Jesters
Cube Slimes
Sea of Fog: Ghost Ship PQ
Level 80~85
Spoiler!
Dark Sand Dwarves
Twisted Jesters
Sand Rats
Scorpions
Level 85~90
Spoiler!
Roids
Neo Huroids
Twisted Jesters
Level 90~95
Spoiler!
Pac Pinkys
Selkie Jrs
Slimys
Twisted Jesters
Level 95~100
Spoiler!
Mr. Anchors
Selkie Jrs
Slimys

Maetons are better than robos after 65.
A few things you could add
-Reasoning behind each training spot,
-What map you're talking about when you refer to a monster. (Robos spawn in more than one map for example)
-You could split the sections up, Say a Spoiler for First job, and Spoiler the sections for 10-30.
Just a few things here and there.

The guide isn't bad just because you don't know how to get there. And the map is in Kerning Square. Go to the Kerning Subway Station and talk to the ticketing booth and click the "Kerning Square Shopping Centre" option. A 10 second train ride later takes you there, then all you need to do is go up the escalators.

Good ideas. I will add those when I come back from my gay ass school camp. Which I leave for in 20 minutes.
