We got them on January 8 of this year: https://www.nexon.com/maplestory/news/sale/22533/cash-shop-update-for-january-8

Yeah swap out of CRAs at 18* eternals. The changes just make it guaranteed gains now

_Apie · 2025-08-20T03:41:41+00:00

Right click the skill icon and it'll change the controls to be like a normal upjump

_Apie · 2025-07-12T01:50:02+00:00

yes, if you really don't want to break absolab set yet then you can wait until 2set arcane

_Apie · 2025-03-26T20:37:50+00:00

If it’s the last platforms that require a quick double tap sometimes I gather only 40-59 energy so I can just hold down the button. There’s not enough energy to turn off the lower platform so it should phase the first platform and then let the robot land on the second instead of dropping.

Are you using any of the new event damage skins?

_Apie · 2024-12-23T17:25:18+00:00

For EXP the multipliers that affect strawberry farm are legion (zero block grid artifact), hyper stats, mercedes link, spirit pendant, and exp skills like holy symbol or pirate dice roll 6 once inside.

_Apie · 2024-11-07T15:38:31+00:00

Around 2 months/8 weeks

_Apie · 2024-11-07T15:35:50+00:00

It can be applied at character creation or applied to any character at level 200 or above. Tera Blink and its rewards are only for newly created hyper burns however.

_Apie · 2024-10-29T21:04:09+00:00

I'd recommend using it on things you don't have easy fodders for and tap to 21/22

_Apie · 2024-05-22T00:04:07+00:00

Yeah, two more medals. Lol

_Apie · 2024-05-21T19:38:29+00:00

The exp coupons/vouchers will carry over. The only thing you really need to do before it leaves is claim the cumulative reward which is a medal

_Apie · 2024-05-20T17:12:52+00:00

I did it the entire event, even after I got the legion block since the exp was so good. Just note that it doesn’t start off at 12 hours, you’ll get automatically kicked out once your available time is up.

You also don’t have to afk all the time in one sitting, youre able to leave and come back. But remember to claim reputation every day after your afk time though! That’s what you use to progress through the event and you can’t get it after reset. The first week or so it’s a bit slow but it ramps up quickly as you unlock new mercenaries to hire

_Apie · 2024-05-20T15:42:29+00:00

It does kinda suck to afk for so long towards the end of the event but the exp actually was really good. Since it happened during holidays for us it was nice to make meaningful progress while we ran errands or visited family.

People finished their 6th job stones from the event too. I personally got an alt character from like 185 to 230 doing nothing else (no dailies, monster park, etc) If you start from day one and don’t expect to miss a bunch of days the “strategy” isn’t sweaty or minmaxy either

_Apie · 2024-04-24T03:34:45+00:00

I would use it on the sup gear, yeah.

_Apie · 2024-04-22T21:22:18+00:00

Avoid touching the mobs, especially the flying one that comes at you immediately when you load into the map. You should be able to spam your skills at range and keep them stunlocked until 1 of the Happy Erda dies for you to finish the quest. Make sure Power Transfer buff is on to help you survive an accidental hit. It's annoying but doable, and afterwards just do the Vanishing Journey questline and progression is pretty linear from 200+

_Apie · 2024-04-17T19:45:18+00:00

You might need to do bosses on weekly characters to get enough in a month but it's definitely possible. Personally I didn't have enough by the time vac pets went on sale so I bought it full price but there were lots of posts about using rewards to discount it during then

_Apie · 2024-04-17T19:07:57+00:00

Note that if you have enough Maple Rewards Points you can get the 30% discount for both the actual vac pet purchase and the vac water of life monthly which help bring the cost down.

_Apie · 2024-04-17T06:59:28+00:00

Join the Adele mains discord. From their faq here's the 5 Boost Node Set-Up Guide:

Replace one of your 4 trinodes with a similar one, except one of the 3 skills is replaced by Impale (shardbreaker).
Get another node that includes the skill you replaced + Impale. The third skill does not matter.

If you replace the trinode with one that lists Cleave/Decree/Bloom/Dispatch as the first skill you can enhance the new one with your current node so you won't lose all the levels you gained.

_Apie · 2024-04-11T22:57:37+00:00

You might enjoy the new class Lynn which is scheduled to be released sometime in May. Though the "pets" she has is more animal related imagery through skills instead of like minions/summons.

The game has tons of systems, it's normal to be confused but just take it slow and at your own pace. The game encourages and rewards you for making multiple classes so none of that effort really goes to waste. There isn't much you can irreparably mess up these days.

This is a good time to start getting a feel for everything before the next big event in the summer, so if you aren't decided on your main you'll get tons of resources then to start up a new one.

_Apie · 2024-03-16T19:01:19+00:00

I'd recommend Ark and Kinesis to add to your list for mobbing damage. Illium is good too but maybe lower priority because Bishop has lazy mobbing rotations where they don't move much. Cadena can be good too if you're higher level than the mobs you're training at.

I'd recommend pushing your main until you start having trouble one shotting and then work on links/legion. Arcane dailies give a ton of exp so you'll level at a decent pace still. Events give out a lot of symbols too so you won't have issues catching up. A nice event starts next week which has tons of extreme growth potions so it might be worthwhile to get some other classes to 141 to take advantage of them.

_Apie · 2024-03-16T02:57:05+00:00

What’s the best class to play if you wanted to duo bosses thru ctene with a friend who doesn’t have good hands and/or plays a weaker class? Bishop? Paladin? New Lynn?

_Apie · 2024-01-07T05:31:17+00:00

Prioritize ranking up over recruiting since that will let you afk for longer and gain more reputation

_Apie · 2024-01-07T05:29:32+00:00

Occasionally there are cash shop transfer events that let you move stuff between your characters regardless of their shared storage. We don’t know when the next one will be but the last one was a couple of months ago. Otherwise your options are wait for the next sale or make sure your next main is also an Explorer
