Update on Cube Removal from Bosses

Hi Maplers,

As the removal of Cubes from bosses in all worlds has been a recent hot topic in the community, we would like to share more details of the reasoning behind this implementation as well as our plans to address the community concerns. While implementing the Cubes and Rebirth Flames Obtainment Improvements as part of the Better Maple changes in the v.224 update, our goal was to improve the obtainment experience by removing the Cube and Rebirth Flame items that dropped at a chance from bosses and adding them to Elite Monsters and Elite Champions instead. We believed that this change would lower the hurdle of obtaining these items by allowing players to obtain them while training in maps where Elite Monsters and Elite Champions appear frequently. Our goal was to increase the accessibility of obtaining these items, as well as to provide better experiences through future boss reward revamps.

However, we realized that we may have overlooked the inconvenience this change would cause to players who rely on bosses as their primary source of obtaining Cubes. We apologize for not taking this into consideration when we worked on the change, and for not providing a detailed announcement ahead of time.

After the v.224 Patch Notes and game update went live, we kept a close eye on players’ feedback and saw the concerns regarding the Cube removal change. We urgently reviewed the decision to remove Cubes from bosses. We decided that, while keeping Cubes as drops from Elite Monsters and Elite Champions, we will add Cubes back to the boss rewards in all worlds, but at a lower obtainment of 70-80% of the amount that players used to obtain from bosses prior to the v.224 update. We plan to implement this change before the upcoming weekend during an unscheduled maintenance. Please keep an eye on the News page of our Official MapleStory website for more details on the upcoming maintenance.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, and we will continue to monitor different aspects of the game to improve your MapleStory experience.

Neo Tera Burning Plus - Part 2


Please avoid altering your computer time when participating in this event. Any changes to your computer time clock can cause issues when creating or deleting Burning characters for this event.

The second round of the Tera Burning Plus Project is here to help you level a brand-new character up, not just to Lv. 200, but Lv. 220 as well with another character!

Create a brand-new character during the event period and select it to have the special "Burning" effect. This event is open to characters in both Reboot and non-Reboot worlds, except for Zero and Kain characters.

After your character reaches Lv. 10, every time that character levels up it will gain an additional two levels all the way up to Lv. 200!


In addition to all this, you'll also earn amazing rewards along the way, including Root Abyss and Fafnir gear! When you reach Lv. 200 on your ‘Burning’ character, don’t stop there but keep on training! You will receive additional rewards on your ‘Burning’ character at Lv. 200, Lv. 205, Lv. 210, and Lv. 220!

Here's How it Works

Create a brand-new character during the event period. From the character select screen, choose the new character on your account to have the "Burning" effect. Then, accept the quest "It's the Tera Burning Project gift giveaway!" from the star event notifier on the left-side of the game window in order to start receiving rewards! Only one character on your account can have the "Burning" effect.



After completing the quest "It's the Tera Burning Project gift giveaway!," you will receive all of your gifts immediately; however, you will not be able to use all of them until you meet the required level for each reward. 

Rewards:



Additional Rewards:

Additional rewards for reaching Lv. 200 to Lv. 220 can be obtained once per region. These rewards cannot be obtained again if you delete the existing 'Burning' character that claimed these rewards and create a new 'Burning' character.


Neo Burning World


Burning World is a special world with special rules that will exist only for the duration of the Burning World event, filled with boosts to make it easier than ever to level up fast. While on Burning World, all characters will gain the special Burning skill, which grants the following bonuses:

You will also be able to create two Mega Burning characters, who operate in the same manner as in previous Mega Burning events: After reaching Lv. 10, every time that character levels up, they will also gain two bonus levels, all the way up to Lv. 150. Combined with the Burning EXP bonus and boosted damage, you'll be able to power your way through those levels faster than ever before!



Additionally, even after your Mega Burning characters have been created, you'll be able to create another four characters to level up and leap, which will still benefit from the Burning skill! Please note that, while the default number of Character Slots on Burning World is eight, and can be expanded via Character Slot Coupons awarded from Daily Gifts and other avenues, only six characters will be able to World Leap when the Burning World event comes to a close, even if you have more than six Lv. 150 characters on the world. Additionally, Zero and Kain characters cannot be selected as a "Burning" character.

As Burning World is a temporary world to be removed at the end of the World Leap stage, some MapleStory features will be unavailable there:

Burning World Rewards




Upon creating a Mega Burning character in Burning World:

Additional Mega Burning Rewards:





Mega Burning Character Level Achievement Perks:

Burning World Leap




As the saying goes, the light that burns twice as bright burns half as long, and the Burning World will burn very brightly indeed. However, while this new world will be consumed at the end of it all, a new life awaits your characters in the other worlds of MapleStory!

Lv. 150+ characters in Burning World will be allowed to leap to another world of your choosing during the World Leap period, taking their equipped items, inventory, and mesos with them to join their new communities. When this period begins, all Burning World characters will be moved to the Burning Leap Zone map, where they will be able to speak to the NPC Mover to complete their exodus.

 

Mark Your Miracle Time Event

Double Miracle Time is returning to MapleStory in late July... but not as it once was. In the past, Double Miracle Time would run for three hour-long periods on a Saturday, giving everyone in MapleStory double the odds of ranking-up their equipment's Potential through Red Cubes, Black Cubes, Bonus Potential Cubes, White Cubes, and Violet Cubes. Maplers all over the world would make sure to be online for those periods, ready to get the most out of their equipment's improvements... which sometimes resulted in server instability issues.

In order to make sure that you get the most out of Double Miracle Time this time around, we're launching the Mark Your Miracle Time Event! Instead of taking place for three hours on a particularly frenetic Saturday, Maplers can schedule one day from Wednesday, July 28, 2021 through Tuesday, August 3, 2021 to have their Miracle Time, spreading out the demands on MapleStory's servers and making sure that everyone gets the most out of their Miracle Time!
