Background
Maple appears after defeating a certain amount of enemies (30 or more without Maple's Ring), and dungeons contain a lot of enemies.
As soon as you leave a dungeon, you're bound to encounter maple.
Problem
Some areas are filled with water or have holes, causing many items to fall in, becoming unobtainable.
Some areas large amounts of clipped areas, not allowing you to pick up most items, due to them being out of reach.
Question
With gale seeds unlocked, which areas should a player teleport to (or walk to) after a dungeon, with intentions to encounter Maple, ensuring the lowest change of items dropped by Maple into an out-of-reach area?
Best Answer
Best Location
Somewhat in the middle of the map, in north Horon, there is a scent seed tree that you can warp to by using gale seeds. Walk one spot south from there and you should be at a location where Maple can spawn. It is a very open place with no water, or holes.
Other Suggestions
East, South, and South East of the lost woods are locations where Maple can spawn, they are not optimal, with a lot of holes. Like Likes keep spawning infinitely (I'm not sure about the east screen, but they spawn infinitely on the south and south east screen). It is very easy to trigger multiple Maple encounters there.
In the Tarm ruins in the north west corner of the map there are 4 screens where maple can spawn, the three that are the most north appear to be good places to encounter her. There is a tree nearby that you can warp to with gale seeds.
These next two screens appear to be difficult to reach without triggering an encounter with Maple on your way to those locations:
Impas home (I don't know the correct english name) is reasonably open.
If you go 2 screens south from the Maku Tree, then that area is also fairly open.
Maple Map
I used this map to know where to go. Note that the map can vary based on your animal companion, in my case I have Dimitri and the map in-game looked a bit different. I did not change the season, some places may be better if you have a different season than the default season for that location.
