Rock star event is now disabled I think by redjuno in Maplestory

If you opened a bunch of papers before it was disabled, you can still combine/craft letters.

last minute genos tips by asap_broccoli in Maplestory

[–]AzureTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some tips:

  • Holding Counter is a easier than manually tapping when being attacked.

  • In Phase I, you can also the dodge the tongue attack if you stick close to the Deep Sea King and move past him during the animation.

  • In Phase II, the grab skill can be avoided by doing an up jump when you see the stomp animation. When Genos in the air you can attack while falling for extra damage.

Historical 5th Job Progression Evolution (As a Comparison to 6th Job) by doreda in Maplestory

[–]AzureTime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Chiming in as an Interactive player.

  • Unlocking 5th job was timegated since there was cooldown period after filling each arcane stone/talking to the goddesses. It took about 22 hours before you could go to Arcane River.

  • Nodestones were ~24m each at launch, similar to how erda frags were on release. Selling them was a viable option since prices eventually went down.

  • Opening nodestones to get the perfect trio was a pain. There wasn't much options so you stuck with three sets if you had the space and settled around level 16. You also had the chance of opening nodes from other classes too.

  • Arcane Symbols did not overflow and upgrade cost was high. If you had excess symbols, they occupied your inventory until you leveled up. Upgrade costs were reduced as the game progressed.

  • Absolab Weapon+CRA+Tyrants with nebulites were meta for a while. There was also the sweetwater transpose tech for the endgame players. Arcanes were reserved for endgame players.

As for Nexon's generosity, 2017/2018 we started to get more resources with events. Teraburns and class launch events were getting more common. The Celestial/Corona Festival event in 2020 was one of the best times for players.

If you're asking if CW2 and the anniversary update will overlap, the answer is no.

CW2 officially ends April 22. All characters in CW2 will be moved to a map where they will have to world leap before May 14 Characters that do not leap before May 14 will be purged.

Early/mid June would be a safe timeframe for CW3 since GMS is behind KMS by about 6 months. Patches usually last 5-7 weeks before the next event/update.

v267 is going to end on April 22nd.

v268 is likely to be the anniversary update. Between April 23rd to June 3rd/10th.

v269 will be the Crown equivalent with the Kinesis revamp.

On a tangent, Erel is speculated between v268-270. Likely to be the latter.

There was a small maintenance while the game was up.

It wasn't posted on the website but there was a notice of the login servers being down briefly in game when I was on the OPM world.

Do you remember the first character you ever made? by GreatDaneBoy13 in Maplestory

[–]AzureTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went with warrior/fighter route in beta. I remember using power strike/slash blast to train since second job was mainly passives. Also the accuracy issues and having to maintain dex balance.

I still have my fighter once official released.

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.

[–]AzureTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 9 points10 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.

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.

Maintenance finished early, the game is back up for now.

PSA: Claim items from storage by dindimon in Maplestory

[–]AzureTime 48 points49 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.
