I Haven't Done Anything Event
Reaching the upper echelons in MapleStory requires dedication and effort, so there's no time for slacking around! It's time to powerlevel like a champ, by sitting around in the park and floating around like a bee while you just soak up all the EXP! Get your EXP Pouch from Cassandra and gather up EXP over time, even if you're offline. Collect Star Candies as a honey bee to make your EXP Pouch fill up even faster!

Event Details:
I'm craving some serious downtime and relaxation! Rumor has it there's a method to gain experience without exerting much effort. Is this legendary tale true?

Talk to Cassandra and accept the ‘(I Haven’t Done Anything) Mysterious EXP Pouch’ quest to obtain the EXP Pouch. You can only accept the EXP Pouch once per account.
The EXP Pouch automatically accumulates EXP that matches your character's level for every 10 seconds up to 24 hours.
EXP continues to store even when you are not online, and will store the same amount as when you are online.
You can earn EXP Acquisition Time Rewards based on the amount of time you accumulate.
Once full, the EXP Pouch will not accumulate any more EXP until the stored EXP has been claimed.
There’s also a way for you to accelerate the EXP collection time! You can enter the special Peaceful Park map by accepting the ‘(I Haven't Done Anything) Go to the Peaceful Park’ quest from the event notifier on the left of the screen.
Talk to Busy Honey Bee to help transform you into a honey bee and collect Star Candies. This will accelerate the EXP collection time for the Mysterious EXP Pouch.
