EMPRESS CYGNUS, LEVEL 40 SKILLS AND THE ENDLESS ABYSS - SEPTEMBER 2, 2026

THE EMPRESS IS WAITING. SO ARE YOUR LEVEL 40 SKILLS. A 190 billion HP expedition, ten skill levels past the cap, an abyss with no bottom, and an Ironman rework that fires Sasuke. September opens loud. CYGNUS EXPEDITION LV31-40 SKILLS ENDLESS ABYSS IRONMAN REWORK P2W EVENT RULEBOOK 50+ FIXES You asked for the Empress. You asked, loudly and for months, for skills past level 30. You asked for a place to farm Perfect Pitch that does not end after 20 floors. All three are in this patch, plus an Ironman rework, the full rulebook for Greedy Gia's event, ten times bigger daily quest rewards, and a bug-fix list long enough to need its own chairs. Grab one. Six of them got fixed. THE PATCH IN TEN SECONDS Cygnus Expedition is live. Lv220-300, 1-6 players, 20 minutes. Empress has 70b HP behind 120b of defenders for 190b effective, and the clear pays 220 Perfect Pitch and 11 billion EXP per player. Level 31-40 skills are here. Jay in Henesys Ruins trades your class Blessings for up to 10 levels past the SP cap on your bossing skills and your best buffs. Hurricane 40. Quad Star 40. Big Bang 40. The Endless Abyss opens. No floor cap, no timer, no corruption, and Perfect Pitch every 10 minutes for as long as you can survive. Ironman got a rework. Free max-level buffs with @buffme, War Leap and Power Crash for free, a scaling Ironman Medal, 4x Legacy EXP for alts, and Sasuke's skill shop is gone. The P2W Awareness Event rulebook is final. Battle Pass rewards, the F2P shop prices, Gia's Gacha odds, the daily wager, and the World Blessing are all listed below. Daily quest ETC rewards are 10x. Every daily from Lv40 to Lv240 pays ten times more, and regional fragment drop rates are 80% flat. Patch with the launcher before you log in. CYGNUS EXPEDITION - THE EMPRESS TAKES THE FIELD Shinsoo and the five Advanced Knights. They do not want you to reach her. They are about to be disappointed. The most requested boss in Kuro's history is open. Cygnus is not a damage check with a health bar; she is a formation. Break the knights, break the bird, and only then does the Empress become mortal. The Expedition Level 220-300 Party 1-6 players Timer 20 minutes Effective HP 190b A dedicated lobby and battle map inside the Stronghold. Empress spawns directly on entry; no warm-up waves. Shared death limit of 5. Every death removes 30 seconds from the clock, and the fifth death ends the expedition. Dying sends you back to the Stronghold lobby. The far-left portal (x -980) returns anyone to the lobby during the fight or after the clear. The Rewards Perfect Pitch 220 EXP 11,000,000,000 Potions 4 Blessing of Fairy Paid to every qualifying player when Ironman boss difficulty is off. Full inventories retry every 10 seconds, so make room and wait. Ironman scaling: Perfect Pitch and EXP become floor(base x difficulty numerator / 6), numerator clamped to 1-6. Potions stay at 4. The Formation Enemy HP Appears Signature Empress Cygnus 70,000,000,000 Immediately Tornado every 20s, seduce every 40s, physical reflect every 60s Shinsoo 20,000,000,000 Empress at 56b (80%) Physical and magic reflect every 60s Mihile 20,000,000,000 Empress at 35b (50%) Dawn Warrior knight Oz 20,000,000,000 Empress at 35b (50%) Blaze Wizard: potion lock every 20s Irena 20,000,000,000 Empress at 35b (50%) Wind Archer knight Eckhart 20,000,000,000 Empress at 35b (50%) Night Walker: reverse controls every 10s Hawkeye 20,000,000,000 Empress at 35b (50%) Thunder Breaker knight Effective total 190,000,000,000 70b Empress + 20b Shinsoo + 100b across the five Knights The Empress is immune while any defender lives. Shinsoo arrives when she hits 56b (80%) and all five Knights at 35b (50%), so the real health bar is 190b. Kill order is not a suggestion; it is the fight. Mechanics Worth Reading Twice Dark Genesis: both the full-map cast and the short cast kill on hit. The full-map version only reaches 100px horizontally around Empress, so distance is survival. Tornado: stuns everyone inside its 400x150 area for 10 seconds. It connects 1.2 seconds into the visible pose, which is your window to leave. Damage Reflect: Empress, Shinsoo, and the Dawn Warrior knight activate reflect 2 seconds after their cast animation finishes. You get a visible window to stop attacking. Use it. The knights' mechanics: Night Walker flips your controls every 10s, Blaze Wizard locks your potions every 20s, and Dawn Warrior reflects physical and magic every 60s. JAY'S SKILL UPGRADES - LEVEL 31 TO 40 Jay has moved into Henesys Ruins and he takes payment in Blessings. He is not cheap. He is worth it. This is the one. Skill levels past the SP cap have been the most requested feature on the forum, in Discord, and in at least one very long ticket. Starting today, Jay in Henesys Ruins will raise one skill by one level per visit, up to 10 levels past its normal max , in exchange for your class Blessing: Mihile's, Oz's, Irena's, Eckhart's, or Hawkeye's. The Rules The skill must be at its normal SP cap first: Lv30 for every listed attack skill and most buffs, Lv20 for Rage, Fortitude, Body Pressure, and Dodge, Lv10 for Reflection Crash and Battleship. SP cannot be placed into upgraded levels. Purchased levels are kept on login, are never counted as spent SP, and cannot be moved with an SP Reset. One skill level per visit. Bring Blessings, and bring patience.

Mage numbers are magic attack values.

Level 30 is untouched; levels 31 to 40 are brand new, and the extra line arrives at level 31 for most attacks, which is why the per-line number starts below the level 30 tooltip and climbs from there.

Your Mihile's Blessings from that dead alt are no longer dead weight. THE ENDLESS ABYSS - NO FLOOR, NO CLOCK, NO MERCY Every 10th floor, a Warden. Every 10 minutes, Perfect Pitch. Every extra floor, a little more pain. The Abyssal Gauntlet has always been a sprint: 20 floors, a corruption clock, and out. Endless mode is the marathon nobody asked us to build and everybody is going to run. Talk to the Abyssal Gauntlet Gatekeeper from Lv30 , pick any star tier you have unlocked, and descend until the Gauntlet wins. How It Pays Perfect Pitch every 10 minutes , delivered straight to your ETC tab, scaled to your level exactly like @fishing. Lv100 receives 10 per tick, Lv200 receives 18. You must defeat at least 1 Gauntlet monster during each interval or that tick awards 0. No AFK abyss. Already delivered Pitch is kept on death, quit, or disconnect . The abyss takes your run, not your wallet. How It Hurts After the selected tier's normal floor range, every additional floor adds +5% monster HP and +3% monster damage . Forever. Every 10th floor is a Warden : the selected tier's boss. Beat it for 2 HP Potions, 1 Elixir, a boss-rarity weapon choice (1 of 2, or 1 of 3 with Abyssal Attunement), and 1 boon before you keep going. The HUD swaps the corruption clock and Abyssal Marks for an Endless badge, current floor, Warden label, Pitch countdown, total earned, and held rewards. Endless runs are free of the daily economy in both directions. They consume 0 of your 3 daily Gauntlet runs, create no retry lock, and have no 3-minute re-entry cooldown. They also grant no Abyssal Marks, extraction loot, exit bonus, run record, leaderboard result, star unlock, first-clear reward, or retry series. Pitch is the prize. Floors are the flex. IRONMAN - THE REWORK Sasuke's skill shop is closed. The buffs are free now. He is taking it well. Ironman was built to be hard, not to be a tax on snowflakes. This patch strips out the grind that had nothing to do with the challenge and replaces it with things that scale with the character. @buffme - The Free Support Package Ironman characters now receive a free, self-only buff package for exactly 60 minutes per use. Every unlocked buff is applied at its maximum skill level . Unlocks at Buffs Lv30 Rage, Meditation, Hyper Body, Bless, Iron Will Lv70 Holy Symbol, Meso Up, Fortune Lv120 Combat Orders, Echo of Hero, Power Stance (100% knockback resistance), Speed Infusion, Sharp Eyes, Holy Shield Skills You No Longer Buy War Leap Lv10 is granted to every Ironman automatically: 5 MP, 650 horizontal and 460 vertical movement. It lands on the V key only if that key is free. Power Crash Lv20 arrives automatically at character Lv70. Sasuke's Skill Shop is removed. It used to charge 1,000 Everfrost Snowflakes per 2nd-job skill, 2,000 Essence of Time per 3rd-job skill, and 3,000 Draconic Wrath per 4th-job skill. Support buffs are free through @buffme, War Leap and Power Crash are automatic, and Fortitude is no longer offered. The Ironman Medal Automatically issued, permanent, character-bound, locked, and updated with the character. Every 10 character levels grants +1 to STR/DEX/INT/LUK, HP/MP, WATK/MATK, WDEF/MDEF, Accuracy/Avoid, Hands, and Speed/Jump. 0 slots, no cap. Lv10 +1 each Lv120 +12 each Lv300 +30 each The medal grants no Critical Rate or Critical Damage. It is a ruler, not a crutch. Status, Progress, and Drops Ironman is permanent immediately after acceptance. The old removal option below Lv50 is gone. The first tracked Hardcore death changes Hardcore -> Regular Ironman, never Normal. Legacy EXP for Ironman: Ironman alts below the account's highest-ever character level now receive 4x EXP . It does not stack with EXP coupons; the higher multiplier applies. Account progress: Monster Book card completion and ring tiers are shared across the account's Ironman characters. Quest Medal progress uses the highest quest total in the Ironman cohort. Normal and Ironman progress stay completely separate. Quest Medal: every ruleset uses the canonical Quest Medal item; legacy Regular and Hardcore Ironman variants convert automatically. Medal Buddy: Ironman characters may partner with another Ironman under the existing 900 combined quest and 400 combined completed-card limits. Normal and Ironman pairs remain blocked. Drops: items personally dropped by an Ironman now disappear immediately instead of becoming an owner-restricted map drop. This includes normally preserved and boss-summon items. Ironman means Ironman. Sasuke's New Job: The Exchange Scroll Exchange 1 Chaos Scroll of Goodness 60% -> 2 Chaos Scrolls 60% + 2 White Scrolls 1 Chaos Boss Accessory Scroll 50% -> 8 + 8 1 Miraculous Chaos Scroll 40% -> 16 + 16 Class Exchange Mihile's, Oz's, Irena's, Eckhart's, and Hawkeye's Blessings convert among themselves 1:1 . The 5 class Approvals also convert among themselves 1:1 .

A failed delivery consumes nothing, ordinary inputs are spent before bound ones, and using a character-bound input produces character-bound output. THE P2W AWARENESS EVENT - THE FULL RULEBOOK "Raising Awareness of P2W in Gaming." Greedy Gia's numbers are final. Her morals remain under review.

The regular Champion Katara and starter dagger are permanent. Dual Blade Echo: Dual Blades at level 200+ with quest 6800 complete can restore a missing Echo of Hero at the Goddess Statue. An existing Echo is never replaced. Citizenship and Perfect Pitch Oath signing uses an NPC Yes/No confirmation and applies all 4 stat changes in 1 update, keeping the existing per-character fee and reward. Citizenship Perfect Pitch milestone rewards are character-bound currency. Ordinary Perfect Pitch is spent first, and purchases made with bound Pitch produce character-bound items. Bulk purchases of scrolls and Pirate hats validate space, charge, grant, and save atomically. A failed purchase consumes nothing. MILESTONES AND CHARACTER SETUP Two Characters Per Account, With a Cooldown An account may register 2 distinct characters for all milestone rewards. Registering the second character starts a 1-calendar-month cooldown ; both registered characters keep eligibility for later milestones. A third character is blocked until expiry, after which the next 2 registration slots become available. Manual and Hyper Burn registration follow the same rule. Milestone claim replies now update the row that was actually requested instead of the wrong one. Everything Else Weekly Login: limited to 1 reward per account and PC/IP household per JST week. Launcher routes, reconnects, and ordinary IP changes cannot create another claim. New Characters: the placeholder start map routes Noblesse -> Ereve, Aran/Legend -> Rien, and other novice classes -> Mushroom Town. MAPLE ADMIN, CASH ITEMS, AND THE DONOR SHOP Crystals Become Ores The Maple Administrator now breaks legacy crystals back into ore, so nothing in your ETC tab is a dead end. Hand In Receive Refined Sapphire, Black Crystal, Power/Wisdom/DEX/LUK/Dark Crystal, Diamond 10 matching ores each Basic Diamond/Sapphire/Power/Wisdom/LUK/DEX/Black/Dark 10 matching ores each Intermediate versions of the same 100 matching ores each Advanced versions of the same 1,000 matching ores each Cash and Donor Anime Skins: all 138 skin items are permanent. Cash Shop DP Choice: on a patched client with the clean NX/DP selector, ordinary catalog DP purchases charge the exact DP price and make the item permanent. Insufficient DP refuses the purchase without falling back to NX. Older clients remain NX-only. Boppin' Otter Sweater: 4,250 DP. Crystal Blade and Musashi's Katana: 4,850 DP each. STORAGE, FISHING, AND THE BOT CHECK Account Storage: character-bound equipment may now move between characters on the same account. Character-bound stackable rewards remain blocked. Guild Storage: available to Normal characters. Ironman, Hardcore Ironman, and Group Ironman cannot open, view, search, deposit, or withdraw items or mesos. Fishing: monsters spawned after fishing begins no longer cancel an active session. Alive and seated requirements still apply. Bot Check: active fishers are excluded from automated checks. The final check uses 2 guided actions in order, Jump once and then Move left, with instructions above the character, in chat, and in the UI. Progress and attempts stay bound to the active session if the prompt is closed and reopened. BUG FIXES Six chairs learned how to hold a person correctly. Growth. Items, Client, and Connections NPC Shops: sales above 2,147,483,647 mesos or your current meso capacity are rejected without removing the item. Busy inventory and meso locks also reject without mutation. Pinky DrumStick: the 10,000 NX and 10,750 NX listings now grant 11 Pet Foods instead of the broken 1-item and 10-item quantities. Balrog Shoulder Catch-up: the Free Market Maple Administrator can repair an eligible legacy shoulder once, placed unequipped in the EQUIP tab: item Lv2 +1, Lv3 +2, or Lv4 +3 WATK/MATK. The item is not replaced, reset, or rerolled. Prism Equipment Dyes: dyed Android wardrobe equipment renders for everyone in the map and follows the visible Fusion Anvil appearance. Finite-expiration equipment is rejected before any DP charge. Prism Skill Dyes: Corsair Battleship, Hero and Dawn Warrior Combo Attack, and Night Lord and Night Walker Shadow Partner display their selected colors across movement and combat animations. Prism Farming FPS: long farming sessions no longer build up hidden skill-color data in the background, which had been dragging FPS down over time. Dyed skills still show their color. Wheel of Destiny: no longer sticks as your active display effect after reviving with it, which had been replaying a broken effect for every nearby player. Onyx Maple Katara: retains its stats while using a Cash Katara appearance through Fusion Anvil. Rookie Yellow Raincoat: can be moved into Cash Storage. Chairs: Fond Memories Castle Chair, Fluffy Corgi Cushion Chair, Golden Oinker Chair, Igloo Chair, 104th Cadet Corps Chair, and Cinema Starlet Chair now render character placement, rear animation, and foreground/background layering correctly. Not-so-small Herbivore: displays its weapon animation while using Thunderbolt. Accessory Job Requirements: Tempest Glasses and Pendant are Magician-only, Pinnacle Earrings and Pendant are Thief-only, and Revolution Earrings and Pendant support Warriors, Bowmen, and Pirates. The Tempest, Pinnacle, and Revolution rings and belts remain all-job. Set Tooltips: Pinnacle and Neinheart set descriptions display correctly, and Neinheart appears in the all-set window. Hired Merchants: shops reopen for buyers after their owner leaves, retain stock through Free Market resets, clear stale Fredrick registrations, and report already-closed search results correctly. Stat Window: characters above Level 200 no longer show an inflated EXP percentage (for example 27% when actual progress was about 10.59%). Citizenship Weekly EXP: weekly house EXP totals can no longer be double-counted or lost during a brief save hiccup, keeping placement rankings accurate. X4B: players entering through X4B retain that route during channel changes instead of failing the transfer. Combat and Boss Flow Damage Reflect: hits use only the active physical or magic reflect status instead of applying recoil multiple times. Holy Symbol: the strongest active version takes priority. Weaker versions cannot overwrite it or return after map and channel transfers, while equal or stronger versions refresh it. Flame Vortex: target selection, target order, and critical-hit markers remain accurate. Showdown: lethal hits now kill monsters instead of leaving them at 1 HP. Rude, but fixed. Song of Heaven: holding the skill while stationary no longer stops at the general repeated-attack limit. Changing fields clears the stationary state. Dual Blade: picking up items while in Dark Sight no longer breaks stealth. Every other Thief class keeps the usual restriction. Shadow Partner: clone poses render correctly across equipped gear, claw, and Cash weapon families. Von Leon: Aerial Prison is disabled for Von Leon and repeated combat packet floods are reduced. Other bosses keep their banish behavior. @stuck: Horntail-family instances and disposed boss-roster subsets are recognized correctly. Expeditions: blue channel-6 join notices now appear independently of @bossnotice. Expedition Re-entry: players who already entered may reconnect to the same active boss run after its attempt was consumed. Players who never entered remain blocked, and empty abandoned retry instances are cleared after 2 hours without racing a live reconnect. Boss Progression Solo Dual Blade Horntail: after both heads are defeated, entering the regular or Chaos main room solo now spawns the correct body. Parties, other jobs, and incomplete runs are unchanged. Normal Horntail: the hidden aggregate body now completes when the final visible body part dies, instead of leaving an empty, stuck map. Horntail Platforms: the upper attack platforms now extend toward both side heads. Zakum: native WZ revives exclusively create phases 2 and 3. The event no longer races them with duplicate scripted bodies. Boswell Field VI: the same-map portal works again. Orbis PQ: eligible Lv51-300 Solo Ironman runs still enter normally. Blocked solo attempts now show the exact reason and close cleanly instead of falling into the party flow. The Empress is on the field, Jay is open for business, and the abyss has no floor. Patch up, log in, and go find out how deep it goes. Please patch using the launcher before logging in. Happy Mapling! ~ Kuro
