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.

Important Changes to Second Pendant Slot
Attention Maplers,
As previously announced, we are making a change in the v.244 update that will allow buffs to remain on a character upon death without the need for Buff Freezers. We’re ecstatic to see the community anticipate this change, as we know it will bring a better Mapling experience to all players.
In addition to the previous announcement, we’d also like to share our plans to make the second pendant slot permanently available for all characters without the use of a separate item. This change will start in our v.245 update, which is scheduled for October 4, 2023. In preparation for this, we will be discontinuing the sale of the Pendant Slot Coupon (30 day) from the Cash Shop on September 4, 2023.
We look forward to providing an even better MapleStory experience for players with this change.
