Only grinding counts: a minute counts when your own attacks hit an EXP-giving monster. AFK, sitting in town, leeching without attacking, summons or reflect on their own do not count. Party members who never attack get 1x. Boss drops are not doubled and mesos stay the same. The 4 hours reset at midnight JST .

One prize per account: it is bound to your account, PC and IP, so a second character on the same account, computer or connection cannot claim it again.

It waits and is paid on your next login, up to 14 days after the event. Type @rates to see your 2x bonus and how much grinding time you have left today. Your login message shows how many days you have done out of 6. PLAYER HOUSING - YOUR OWN HOUSE IN MAPLE WORLD A two-floor Mushroom House with garden yards, 147 pieces of furniture, a jukebox and a housekeeper. And it is yours. Housing needs the new desktop client files. If your client is not patched yet, Amy tells you to restart the launcher and you are never charged. Getting a House Price 40,000 DP Per account 1 Min level 10 Talk to Amy in the Donation Hall and pick Player Housing . One house per account, shared by every character on it. Pick a house code (4 to 10 letters or numbers). Friends visit you with that code, and you can change it any time. @house takes you home, or to a friend's house by code. Close the house to visitors, or send everyone home, whenever you like. The House A copy of the modern Maya's House: the Mushroom House , two floors with stairs, widened into garden yards on both sides. Every house is a private instance. Visitors on different channels still see every change live. No channel change or Mystic Door inside. Leave by the door or through Elma and you go back to where you came from. Elma the Housekeeper is your one NPC: decorate, music, house code, open or close, send visitors home. Furniture 147 pieces in 14 categories (Beds, Seating, Tables, Storage, Lighting, Plants, Windows, Wall Decor, Kitchen, Electronics, Bath, Decor, Useful Furniture and 33 Boss Trophies ), 100 to 1,000 DP each, bought from the Decorate window ( @decorate or Elma). Up to 100 placed , 300 owned and 40 platforms . Furniture belongs to the house and cannot be traded or dropped. Placing, moving and storing are free. Floor pieces snap to the floor (hold Shift for free placement), and pieces can be flipped and set in front of or behind characters. 12 walkable platforms (200 to 900 DP) are real ground: stand on them, jump between them, drops land on them. Don't want a piece anymore? Throw it away from the Storage or Placed tab, or press Delete on a selected piece. There is a confirmation first, and no DP refund. Useful furniture What it does Red Iron Mini Safe, Cafe Cash Register Opens your storage, for anyone in the house Wooden Vending Machine Opens a general store, for anyone in the house Night Sky Crystal Ball Teleport to 21 towns , once per character every 10 minutes Jukeboxes (6 pieces) Opens the house music menu (owner only) Surprise Style Box The owner collects 1 Surprise Style Box per day from Elma (reset 00:00 JST). Visitors get 1 per week (reset Saturday 00:00 JST), from one house per week. House owners claim only at their own house. House Music Free for the owner: 62 tracks in 7 categories , from Elma or a jukebox. Preview it alone, confirm it, and everyone in the house hears it on every visit. CRIMSONWOOD KEEP PARTY QUEST - REBUILT FOR 1 TO 6 Five bosses. 120 billion HP each. All at once. CWKPQ needs the new desktop client files. Patch with the launcher first. Getting In Talk to the new Crimsonwood Party Quest Jack on the floating stone platform up and left of Nyx in Phantom Forest, Dead Man's Gorge . The original Jack in Crimsonwood Keep still works. 6 to 30 players 1 to 6 players , and you can solo it . The 3-job-class rule is gone. Levels 90 to 300. 2 per day 1 per day, banked until the weekly reset (Saturday 00:00 JST): up to 7 by day 7. 2 characters per account per week can run it (resets Saturday 00:00 JST). Dying revives you in place instead of kicking you out. Stage 1 timer 2 minutes 10 minutes , and the NPC now tells you where the hidden portal is. Stage 2 to 4 sigils now take any hit from any class , and the stirge pad clears once 5 players stand on it. Stage 5 timer: 20 minutes for 3+ runners, 30 for 2, 40 solo. Element immunities removed from every boss, so any class mix can clear. The Boss Stage Bosses 5 HP each 120b Time limit None Talk to the Battle Statue: Margana, Red Nirg, Rellik, Hsalf and the Master Guardian spawn together. Ironman-only parties fight a share of the HP: solo 20b each, duo 40b , six players the full 120b . Any non-Ironman in the party means the full 120b. Every 40 seconds: dispel, 10 s seduce and 10 s potion lock. Every 60 seconds: the bosses are Weapon and Magic Cancelled for 10 s (every hit, summons included, lands as 1). 15 minutes to start the fight, and 15 minutes without damage ends the run. The CWKPQ Box Clearing still pays the usual 2 to 4 Perfect Pitch and stage EXP. On top of that, every member gets 1 CWKPQ Box per party member present (1 to 6 boxes each). Boxes are untradeable and expire 24 hours after the clear (full USE tab? Jack holds them for you until then). Box roll Chance What it is 200 class Hyper II 97% Untradeable, Hyper II (All Classes) for jobs with no single class Mark of Naricain 1% Cash pendant: +5 all stats, +300 HP/MP, +10 ATT/M.ATT, +15 ACC, +5 Speed/Jump, Lv110, 10 slots (Miraculous Chaos Scroll, Superior Chaos Scroll II, White Scroll and Innocence Scrolls, plus Superior Gems). Upgrade it at Nyx for 100 Raven Ninja Coins per level (9 levels, +3 to +5 all stats and ATT/M.ATT each). Tradeable with Superior Scissors of Karma Forest's Nightmare 1% Superior saddle: +2 all stats, +2 ATT/M.ATT, 8 slots + 2 hammers, takes Superior Chaos Scroll II and Superior Gems. Upgrade it at Nyx for 100 Raven Ninja Coins per level (9 levels) Gelt Chocolate 1% Now +170 Weapon ATT and +270 Magic ATT for 10 minutes, and tradable Gelt Chocolate has changed: +120 W.ATT, +120 W.DEF, +100 HP/MP, +30 ACC/AVOID, +10 Speed/Jump +170 W.ATT and +270 M.ATT , still 10 minutes. It is now tradable , the CWKPQ Box is its only source , and every existing Gelt Chocolate has been removed. PHANTOM FOREST - CHEAPER, CLEANER, FAIRER Raven Envoy Nyx Change Hyper Skill II upgrade 1,000,000 Hyper II per level 8,000 per level, no mesos Lireni's Wish 1,000,000 Raven Ninja Coins 300 Raven Ninja Coins Lireni / Superior Gollux accessory upgrade 1,000,000 per level 100 Raven Ninja Coins per level Forest's Nightmare upgrade New: 100 Raven Ninja Coins per level, 9 levels Level 260 Daily Quest 1 Raven Ninja Coin + 1 Hyper II 1,000 class Hyper II + 100 Raven Ninja Coins Each Lireni or Forest's Nightmare upgrade level adds 3 to 5 to every stat and 3 to 5 Weapon/Magic ATT . One level 260 Daily Quest buys one upgrade level. The Hyper II reset moved from Nyx to Claudine , next to the Hyper I reset, and refunds 8,000 per level. Hyper II class drops from the Phantom Forest monsters go 4% 5% . Bent Tree: the Corrupted Windreavers now fire at most once every 3 seconds, so no more arrow storms tanking your FPS. 17 grind maps re-spawned : evenly spread spawn points with nothing stacked on portals or NPCs (Haunted Hill used to keep 189 of its 210 mobs on the two portal ledges). One player sees about 75% of the map's mobs, six or more see all of them. The Imitation Gollux Heart now always offers a practice run : no loot, no rewards, no attempt spent. Distorted Temple of Time 1: Vell is no longer buried under the spawns. He stands on a new platform above the entrance, reached by a rope (needs the new client files). CLASS CHANGES Aran: Final Charge Damage 450% x2 Targets 1 Level 20/20 free The 2nd-job Aran Rush from October 2 is replaced by Final Charge : a lunge that hits 1 monster for 431% to 450% x2 . Free at 20/20 for every 2nd to 4th job Aran, granted at login and at the job advance. Your old Aran Rush keys and macros turn into Final Charge automatically. Needs the new client files (the old client shows the skill but cannot cast it). Hero's Will for Everyone Every class's Hero's Will now cleanses the whole party on the map, not just Cygnus Knights. Each member gets the full cure: debuffs, the Cygnus pig morph, the Arkarium snake and stun. Marksman: Survival Instinct Survival Instinct is now true invincibility: nothing can take your HP while it is active, including boss kill mechanics, contact kills and map HP drain. With the new client every hit shows MISS with no knockback. More class changes and fixes Pathfinder: Cardinal Deluge, Cardinal Burst, Edge of Resonance and Combo Assault now deal real damage through Damage Reflect (Von Leon and friends) instead of hitting for 1, and ignore plain Weapon Cancel, like Night Walker and Blaze Wizard. Night Lord, Critical Throw: Sharp Eyes crits were only paying about 70% of what they should. They now pay in full. Precision Strike: Sharp Eyes crits were being multiplied by x0.15 x1.15 . A big damage boost for everyone holding it. Cannoneer: Cannon Bazooka at Lv40 177% per line 215% per line , and Roll the Dice face 3 now really pays the announced +10% mesos (it shows in @rates too). Wind Archer: the Song of Heaven Spread now gives +50 Weapon and Magic ATT instead of a second target. Spread on single-target skills now always keeps the boss first (it often trimmed the boss away and did no damage). Night Walker: Quintuple Star Reinforce works again (+2% boss damage per level), and Leech Aura no longer turns off venom procs. Shade: Scroll Workshop and Blessing of the Fairy now show in the skill window, so you can level and key-bind them (relog once). BOSS FIXES AND CHANGES Arkarium round 3 Arkarium Change HP 700,000,000,000 400,000,000,000 Weekly attempt Spent on entry Only a kill spends it Dispel Every minute Twice, at 19:00 and 9:00 on the clock Netherworld Monk Physical damage resistance Takes full physical damage , both waves spawn on the right Flame pillars 6 per wave, kill 1.5 s after the mark 3 per wave, kill 2.5 s after the mark , pillar and Screen Crack cooldowns doubled Prison Black Witches 2b HP + Damage Reflect 1.5b HP, no Damage Reflect A failed run no longer costs you the week: only a kill spends the attempt, and everyone who entered the fight is charged at the kill. Nobody can walk in after the fight has started. Solo practice: the Arkarium NPC now offers a solo 1/6 practice run (about 66.7b HP). No loot, no rewards, no attempt spent, and no EXP loss on death . Shadower Smoke Screen now shields players from the flame pillars and Screen Crack. Any class's Hero's Will frees a snaked teammate. Every fighter can now leave through the altar door after a clear (only the leader could). Drops are visible again: Arkarium's loot used to pile up invisibly below the altar's view range. It now lands on the altar floor, drawn in front of the altar art. Arkarium's HP gauge stays above its head again, next to the top-of-screen bar (new client). Screen Crack is fair to dodgers: a last-second Teleport or Fox Trot out of the crack used to still kill you. Anyone inside at the shatter is now judged again 1.1 seconds later, and only those still inside die. Crash fixed (Error 38): anyone with Combo Attack active who got morphed (the snake or the Petrify statue) crashed nearby players when they spawned, for example on revive. Aran knockback holds the Netherworld Monk back again (Final Blow, Beyond Blade and Rolling Spin snapped it back). Dark Sight is now immune to the Netherworld Monk touch kill (and Veilstone Alpha's in Gollux). Shadower Steal works on the Arkarium clear again (it rolled nothing because the dismissed monks overwrote the target). The "2x" equips (Dominator Pendant, Berserker's Eternal Ring, Guardian's Eternal Ring) now roll 80% per copy instead of one roll for both: same average, but a whole item missing drops from about 20% to about 4%. Everything else Dominator Pendant is now Unique-Equipped: only one can be worn across both pendant slots. A second copy goes back to your Equip inventory on login. Cygnus: ranged single-target skills aimed at the shielded Empress (Cardinal Deluge, Cannon Strike, Barrage, Hurricane) are no longer wasted: they move to a defender while Shinsoo or a knight lives. Reflect-bypassing attacks also reach a countering Shinsoo, and jump-shots from high above find the defenders. Reviving now restores full HP and MP (was 50 HP, or 30% with a Safety Charm). Superior upgrade NPCs (Crow, Vell, Nyx, Ilya and the rest) no longer list items that are already fully upgraded. Maple Administrator: Vote Point Shop MVP Buff Cost 1 VP Duration 60 min Buffs 11 Holy Symbol, Hyper Body, Sharp Eyes, Echo of Hero, Speed Infusion, Holy Shield, Rage, Meditation, Combat Orders, Bless and Meso Up , all at max level. Made for grinding: entering an expedition or boss instance removes it. Ironman characters use @buffme instead. Vote Point Token Turn your Vote Points into tradable Vote Point Tokens (1:1, up to 100 at a time) and redeem them back 1:1. Tokens are a stackable ETC item (up to 1,000 per slot), easy to trade and spend on things like the MVP Buff. Quality of life Monster Effect Opacity slider and a fix for the Vicious' Hammer window that would not close (new client). @autobuff off pauses Auto Buff re-casting and @autobuff on resumes it (plain @autobuff shows the state). Your purchased time keeps running while paused. Auto Buff now only tracks buffs your class can cast, so event consumables no longer push your real buffs out of the 12 slots. Memory Lane: talking to the instructor updates right away, no channel change needed. Web client: signed in on playkuro.com? play.playkuro.com signs you in automatically. Switching networks mid-session no longer kicks you back to character select. Make a Phantom, open the web client on your phone, and go grind for your 20,000 Hyper II. See you in Maple World. - The Kuro Team
