Select ‘Champion Burning’ from the Event List and click ‘Participate’ to start the Champion Burning Double Up event.
Alternatively, accept the ‘[Champion Burning] Your Champion and Mine’ quest by talking to Dame Appropriation..
Participation is limited to one world per account, so choose wisely!
Designating Characters:
Open the Champion Burning UI and press the ‘Designate’ button.
The first Champion designated becomes the Leader, and 2 other characters can be designated as Champions.
The Leader can be changed once a week from your designated Champions.
When switching Leaders, any unused Double Up EXP Points from the current Leader will be lost.
Once designated, there will be a visual effect where Champions are following the Leader. The effect activates automatically when changing maps or logging back in.
This effect can be toggled on/off through the Skills UI in the Beginner’s tab.
Note: If the Leader has World Leaped, a different character can be designated as the Leader in Burning World to participate in the event again.
Double Up EXP Points:
When the Leader defeats monsters near their level (20 levels below and 20 levels above), the other Champions receive 1 Double Up EXP Point for every monster defeated.
Monster defeats only count when in a solo party or not in a party at all.
Monster defeats will count when summoning monsters with VIP Booster.
Double Up EXP Points are evenly distributed among the Champions, with a weekly cap of 100,000 points.
Log in as each Champion to claim and use the earned EXP points.
Double Up EXP Points can be used on Mega Burning, Tera Burning, and Hyper Burning characters.
Note: If the Leader has World Leaped and the remaining Champions in Burning World are not transferred, those Champions cannot use Double Up EXP Points or access the Double Up Coin Shop.
Double Up Coins:
The Leader can complete Double Up check-ins to earn Double Up Coins by defeating 2,000 monsters near their level (20 levels above or 20 levels below).
Check-in 3 times a week, up to a total of 24 times.
Only the Leader can click the ‘Claim’ check-in button.
Monster defeats only count when in a solo party or not in a party at all.
For each check-in, all Champions receive 2,500 Double Up Coins.
Coins and purchases in the Double Up Coin Shop are saved for existing Champions but are not shared among characters.
Spend 3,000 Maple Points to use a Double Up Pass for missed check-in days.
All Champions will receive 2,500 Double Up Coins, for each Double Up Pass used.
Note: Double Up EXP Points and Double Up Check-in weekly records reset every Thursday at 12:00 AM UTC.

Notice Regarding Ghastly the Snowman Reward Issue
Hi Maplers,
An issue where the Steadfast Child Gift Box rewarded from the Ghastly the Snowman event could be claimed repeatedly has been fixed. Upon further investigation of the issue, we discovered there were many instances of players that took advantage of the bug and abused it to receive rewards in excess of the intended amounts. Therefore, the following actions have been taken against these players in accordance with our policies:
Any accounts with more Steadfast Child Gift Boxes than what can normally be obtained per day have had their remaining boxes removed.
Accounts that exploited this issue will be reviewed and actions will be taken according to our policies.
The Steadfast Child Gift Boxes will be re-enabled on December 20 after maintenance. We apologize for the inconvenience to gameplay caused during this investigation, and will provide 30 Steadfast Child Gift Boxes to all players. These boxes can be claimed through the Gift Drop until December 22 at 23:59 UTC.
We would like to take this opportunity to remind players that exploiting in-game bugs for personal gain is strictly against our Terms of Service. We ask players to take care and avoid being penalized by refraining from such activities.
Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work to resolve this issue.
