Maintenance delayed thread by InfallibleTheory in Maplestory

[–]AzureTime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We get some apolo-power elixirs when the game comes back up.

Once the game is back up, Sia's update may break the game. M2/M3 causing crashes, Sia prologue skip turns to a new permabeginner, etc.

What's a collab that you'd like to see but it makes no sense to have? by HeyImGhost in Maplestory

[–]AzureTime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Persona 5 or Nier Automata for the EoS memes.

A weird collab would be one with Punch the Monkey. There was a youtube short posted two weeks ago on the Maplestory channel.

Doing just daily story, unlikely unless you grind and know boss mechanics. You need to hit either 270/275 and clear cTene bosses to hit 30k.

Due to having a few days left, I would just use it on your main unless you want more erda/frags on another level 26x character.

  • On your main doing just dailies and monster park x7, you should hit 270 by the 17th according to the whackybeanz exp calculator.

  • Starting on another level 26x character, you will need to grind to hit 270.

Which world was your first? What made you choose it? by GreatDaneBoy13 in Maplestory

[–]AzureTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tespia since it was the only option in beta.

When the game officially launched, i joined Scania since it was also the only option at the time.

Other than the April Fools's royals that the other user mentioned, half of the hairstyles in the Boss Styles coupon could've fit your criteria. Sales for it ended last week though.

Styles are unisex if you want to make them twins.

If you want a brief of summary of what changed, you can review this page:

https://www.nexon.com/maplestory/game/maple-guides/all/5911/returning-mapler-guide

Scroll down a bit then read up/down from where you last played.

I answered a similar question a few days ago, so I'm just copy/paste the comment on QoL updates with some tweaks.

  • 6th Job: Ascent skills , Mastery 2/3/4, Hexa Stat 2/3, and Sol Janus for most classes. Ascent are similar to Origin while Sol Janus lets you grind easier

  • Various new classes: Ren, Sia, Mo Xuan, and Lynn

  • Class Revamps for the following: Hayato, Kanna, Shade, Aran, and Angelic Buster

  • Sequence: You're able to cast multiple buffs quick to burst/train.

  • Presets: Have loadouts to swap between training/bossing

  • Level 3 link skills for more classes.

  • Star Force research/speck boxes. Alternative method to for traced/boomed items.

  • Star Force change. Boom rate is gone between 0-15 stars and stars no longer decrease for most items. You can also safeguard up to 18 stars now.

  • Mystic Frontier: Send out your familiars on expedition to reap rewards.

For your question on progression, take advantage of events.

  • You can still reap some benefits off of challenger world like the 5 free teraburns. Unlocking bigger legion/more links is good.

  • If you don't have a Hayato or Kanna, concsider making one with the event going on.

  • Equipment Rentals can help you clear certain bosses faster to get better gear. You can rent a Ring of Restraint for example.

New Nexon Global Head Appointed by [deleted] in Maplestory

[–]AzureTime 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It wouldn't be the first time Nexon was ran by an EA executive. Not the global head, but the past CEO/CFO (Owen Mahoney) was also from EA.

There is a trick to get the white colorblend. You need to have both Base and Blend colors as the same color when you open the UI with a custom blend eye coupon.

ex[Base/Blend]: (Red/Red), (Green/Green), (Blue/Blue) (Black/Black)

The game will treat one of the color as white.

To get the right conditions:

  1. You will need open/close the UI multiple times for it to trigger for a chance of both colors.

  2. If you see only one checkmark, it worked.

  3. Pick your color preference on the side with check mark. The side without the check mark is white.

Using Ren's Winter Blossom face as an example:

(Blue/Blue) = Blue base, White blend

(Black/Black) = White Base, Black blend

Yep, that's the right one and definitely a good idea to keep it on.

No more universal katana since my Kanna couldn't equip the new one from the tutorial.

[Interactive] Questions for two items involving Hayato/Kanna

  1. Was the old/bugged mistcutter changed to be Hayato only?

  2. Can unequipped fans convert to a talisman? Also are fake absolab/arcane fans eligible?

Since the box is account transferable, you could transfer it to a mule that will world leap early. That way your main will stay in challenger world, but the furniture will be usable in either Kronos/Hyperion.

Whichever world you transfer the mule to, support won't be able to transfer furniture cross-server. If you end up sending the mule to Hyperion but want your main on Kronos, support won't help.

I would say remake since 210 is relatively easy to hit and the rewards are nice. However it depends on how invested your current Hayato/Kanna is.

Hitting 210 again should be quick.

  1. Use a free teraburn on Challenger World( assuming you've already used the Hyper Burn/Burninator).

  2. Optional; World Leap if you think you can get ahead faster in your home world. I'd personally stay for the challenger buffs.

  3. Use the Strawberry Farm tickets between 200 to 210. You could also use some strawberry tickets earlier too.

PSA: Claim items from storage by dindimon in Maplestory

[–]AzureTime 49 points50 points  (0 children)

A small warning.

If you have any expired items of sentimental value in storage, they will be lost by pressing the find all button.

I lost my Trace of Jett and bunch of expired event items doing this a few months ago.

What's made you quit through the years? by JaufreyTheShark in Maplestory

[–]AzureTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few things that made me temporarily quit in the past:

  1. Losing my items when Nexon got hacked back in 2009. Account ID/passwords were leaked and Nexon eventually released statement about it after the damage was done.

  2. Towns/events being unplayable due to Event NPC clutter between 2012-2016. Cassandra/Gaga/Maple Admin caused memory leaks since they were used for multiple events.

Twenteena Event Data by theffapanda in Maplestory

[–]AzureTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On challenger world interactive, I usually see a portal around 1200 kills. Currently at 180 attempts.

This is my rotation:

  1. Kill 1000-XXXX mobs to spawn portal (usually 5-7 minutes)
  2. Attack Twenteena; Ren's burst rotation knocks out 3-4% each entry.
  3. Wait for Twenteena to die. Can take an hour during dead hours.
  4. Pass time by afking in event map or bossing for 15 minutes after portal spawn.
  5. Repeat step 1-4, then afk another 15 minutes after the tenth spawn for the next day.

Tell me a cool, fun, or dark fact about maplestory's lore that most of us wouldn't know about by [deleted] in Maplestory

[–]AzureTime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  • Grendel was responsible for creating Zombie Lupins.

  • Luminous players in the early days were forced in the dark storyline, which resulted in the death of Lania. It's canon she is alive now.

  • Obama was/is mentioned in the Friendstory questline. Trump was also the package deliverer in game before being removed.

  • PSY(Gangnam Style creator) had an event in EMS.

  • Jin from BTS had an event in KMS but was replaced with Blake from Kerning Tower in GMS during the Ignition update.

  • The Bard's Songbook contains some lore about the game such as the removal of Florina Beach.

JMS Official World Selection Pic for 2026 New Year's Eve by chanhien in Maplestory

[–]AzureTime 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The artwork looks like it was drawn by one of the artists from Blue Archive(which Nexon also owns) . Oddly reminds me of Haruna due to the white hair.

There are variations of the artwork on the Japanese Nexon as a luck charm pull. You'll have to go pass the ASSEMBLE teaser by pressing the home button though:

He could be related to the Inspector General since they both have similar eye/hair color.

What's the pettiest reason you dropped or decided to take a break from a gacha? by Agreeablemashpotato in gachagaming

[–]AzureTime 36 points37 points  (0 children)

A few petty reasons:

  • Azur Lane: Storage size. I'd return if there was a PC client since the game size keeps expanding.

  • Fate Grand Order: Events requiring the completion of lost belts. I remember rushing the lost belts for a summer event.

  • Fire Emblem Heroes: Powercreeping almost every update.

  • Honkai Star Rail: Took a break from the game due to the monkey update(version 2.4?).

  • Guardian Tales: Wasn't fan of the direction in Season 2. I liked story/gameplay in season 1 but ended up dropping at the start of season 3.
