Event Details:
Terry came to Maple World after hearing the news that the sixth power was detected. Terry says that the Sixth Star acts as a medium that connects the warriors of Maple World with the sixth power, and asks you to collect the dispersed star fragments. If you collect the star fragments created by the energy of various powers and bring them to Terry, Terry will gather the power of the stars through the starlight concentrator. It is said that a Star Piece can be created by condensing the power contained in the star fragments, and when six Star Pieces are gathered, a Sixth Star can be created... Let's help Terry collect the star fragments scattered throughout Maple World and go on a long journey to obtain the Sixth Star and sixth power.

You’ll also get to enjoy a fantastic fireworks show that provides buffs to all every night of the event!
As a Senior you’ll be able to either gain experience over at Spiegelette’s Potion Bar, or traits through Tangyoon’s Crazy Feast. Just sit back and relax as you reap the benefits.
As a Veteran, you’ll get to test your shot at the Lawless Nautilus Shooting Range. Aim wisely, as what you hit will determine your reward!
Win it big on your final week at the Midnight Carnival when you become a Master. On the 4th floor, you will be tasked with finding the real Spiegelmann.

Currently, loot ownership of items and mesos dropped by monsters defeated by another player would eventually 'expire', making it a free-for-all and allowing other players to pick up the items and mesos. In the v.246 update, loot ownership of items and mesos will be changed to no longer 'expire' and will only be lootable by the player who defeated the monster.
Because of this change, the Expired Pickup Skill for pets will no longer be necessary and therefore will be discontinued from the Cash Shop in the v.245 update. The Expired Pickup Skill for pets will also be removed from the Pet Boost Package sold in the Cash Shop, and the Pet Boost Package's price will be reduced from 7,000 NX to 6,500 NX.
