Pathfinder is an Explorer Bowman released during the MapleStory: Adventure Update. Their second job is Ancient Archer, their third job is Soulchaser, and their fourth job is Pathfinder.

As one of Athena Pierce's greatest students, the Pathfinder became an explorer of ancient ruins in search of treasure and thrills. In the Partem Ruins, however, she was accidentally cursed by the relic of an Ancient God, which had been infected by dark energies from Kirston. The Pathfinder now goes on a mission in order to become the relic's true owner and lift the curse on herself.

Due to being a special Explorer, Pathfinder has their own storyline and, as of the Destiny Update, no longer follows the regular Explorer storyline.

Story

Main article: Pathfinder/Story

The Pathfinder was a bowman and the greatest student of Athena Pierce. On the hunt for ancient ruins and artifacts, the Pathfinder one day discovered a compass relic inside the ruins of Partem, which cursed her upon contact. In order to break the curse, the Pathfinder began investigating Partem and came across the native Karuppa race, which was afraid of the cursed ruins that emitted terrifying noises. After the Karuppa learned that the Pathfinder was in possession of the cursed relic, many of them turned away from her, though a girl named Brie decided to help her and put an end to the scary noises from the ruins.

Together, the Pathfinder and Brie braved the dangers of the ruins and discovered a Soul inside a chamber at the heart of the temple. The Soul revealed that during the era of the Ancient Gods, the Karuppa had once created the relic from the wood of a sacred tree containing the power of an Ancient God. Fashioned in the shape of a compass, the relic had been worshipped by the Karuppa, capable of healing the injured and guiding the lost. However, after the Overseers had established order in the universe by suppressing the Ancient Gods, the relic had lost its power after the gods had disappeared, eventually becoming nothing more than a legend.

Centuries ago, Kirston - described by the Soul as merely a black-robed man - had cursed the relic before disappearing. The Soul told the Pathfinder that the relic contained both Kirston's cursed energy and the Ancient God's divine energy, which had melded together into one. Though the curse on the relic itself could not be erased, the Soul explained that if the Pathfinder became the relic's true owner, the curse on herself could be lifted. The Pathfinder decided to become the relic's owner and decided to go on a mission to grow closer to it. Meanwhile, Brie returned back home, having learned from the Soul that the strange noises had been meant to ward the Karuppa away from the cursed energy, which it would cease producing, now that the relic was no longer there.

As the Pathfinder grew stronger, she was directed by the relic to a stone in Perion that contained a portion of the relic's divine power. After absorbing its power, the Pathfinder had a vision of Kirston, who had obtained the keys to the relic and had rejoiced that he would be able to reproduce the ancient power. He had also declared that he now had proof that the ancient power had existed in Maple World as well, causing the Pathfinder to wonder whether Kirston had come from another world. The Pathfinder was later directed by the relic to Aqua Road, where it absorbed more divine power from another stone there. She had another vision of Kirston, who had lamented that the relic's power had been “blocked”, just as anticipated.

Seeking answers, she returned to Partem and met with the Soul, who recognized that the curse had completely lifted on her, now that she had become the relic's true owner. The Soul explained that Kirston had been attempting to turn back time on the relic to reproduce its full power from the era of the Ancient Gods, though he had been stopped by a temporal barrier, which - unbeknownst to the Pathfinder - was the same barrier created by Freud to prevent time from flowing back beyond the point that the Black Mage's seal had been created. Having become the relic's true owner, the Pathfinder vowed that she would use its power to help the world.
