MapleStory has reached its
10th anniversary! To
celebrate, a large patch has been released including the newly
reorganized Soul Master (Dawn Warrior), two new theme dungeons, a new
chat system, updated Cash Shop, and some other cool changes!
On May 19 there is going to be a special conference, which is said to be
the beginning of a new history for MapleStory!
To celebrate, there are many events for the 10th anniversary! Have fun participating in them~
First of all, when you log in, you will receive a
Maple N Year title, N being the amount of years your account has existed.
You can get it ‘signed’ by your friends to collect Friend Points. You can only do this 10 times per day.
Based on the amount of years you have played MapleStory, you will
gain a certain amount of FP each time you do the above. 22 FP for 10
year veterans and 1 point for those who are new, haha.
As you collect FP, you will gain prizes.
- 30 FP: 5 10th Anniversary Coins
- 100 FP: 10th Anniversary Giftbox
- 210 FP: Mushroom Friend Chair
- 360 FP: 10 10th Anniversary Coins
- 560 FP: 10% Clean Slate Scroll
- 800 FP: Unidentified 10th Anniversary Scroll
- 1000 FP: 10th Anniversary Black Cape
My absolute favourite of these events is the
Let’s Go! Mesorangers! event,
it’s actually so fun. You can get invited every 15 minutes where you
will be grouped with other people to fight against the MesodizerX
machine, which has gone berserk! However, to fight it, you must play a
rhythm game, sort of like Dance Dance Revolution on a keyboard, haha.
You can choose your difficulty, but at first you can only access
Easy. As you play and get good grades, you can unlock the others.
Based on both your difficulty and rank, you will gain a certain number of 10th Anniversary Coins and
Mesoranger Boxes. You’ll also get 2 extra boxes if your team managed to win and an extra 1 if you didn’t.
You can get the following prizes from the
Mesoranger Boxes.
- Scrolls (50% Positive Chaos Scroll, 50% Miraculous Chaos Scroll, Advanced Equipment Enhancement Scroll)
- 10th Anniversary Coin
- Secret Recipe
- Recipe Synergy/Mastery Book Synergy
- Mysterious Love Letter
- Use items
There is something called
Survival! Maple Marvel! which
is another multiplayer minigame, except this one is a board game! It’s
sort of like Monopoly? You must befriend those monsters and take away
the hearts of the other players.
Based on your rank (1st, 2nd, or 3rd) you’ll receive 3, 2, or 1 Anniversary Coin.
Starry needs your help to prepare the
10th anniversary party!
Complete various quests by collecting items from monsters, defeating
monsters, and even inviting the popular Jake of Kerning Square to
perform!
Every weekday at 4pm, 5pm, 6pm, 7pm, and 8pm, you will be invited to
Maple Park!
If you stay for one minute, you’ll get a 10 attack and magic attack
buff for 1 hour. If you stay for 5 minutes, you’ll get a 10th
Anniversary Coin and a 10th Anniversary Gift Box.
The
10th Anniversary Gift Box gives the following prizes.
- 10th Anniversary White Weapon Box
- 10th Anniversary White Armor Box
- Unidentified 10th Anniversary Scroll
- 10th Anniversary Bits Box
- 10th Anniversary Maple Leaves
- 10th Anniversary Coin
- 5 day Orange Mushroom Riding

Cassandra will also ask you to collect 50
Maple Tree Seeds
from monsters, and she will give you Maple Leaves in return! You can do
this a maximum of 5 times per day, and each consecutive time, you will
receive more leaves than before~
In monster maps, the
Admin Balloon may spawn and in
towns, you can find the Giant Admin Balloon. Defeat them to receive the
Operator’s Letter as well as 10th Anniversary Gift (Lucky) Boxes. The
Giant one will drop much more than the regular one!
The Operator’s Letters are letters written by game administrators~
The
10th Anniversary Gift (Lucky) Boxes can give the following items.
- 10th Anniversary White Weapon Box
- 10th Anniversary White Armor Box
- Unidentified 10th Anniversary Scroll
- 10th Anniversary Bits Box
- 10th Anniversary Maple Leaves
- 10th Anniversary Coin
- 5 day Orange Mushroom Riding
- Balrog Chair/Pink Bean Chair/Giant Yeti Chair
10th anniversary achievements have been added! Participate in events and complete them in order to get titles for each one completed.
If you finish all 7 achievements, you’ll also get the
Maple 10th Anniversary’s Master medal,
which gives 10 to all stats, 100 HP and MP, and 10 attack and magic
attack! However the attack and magic attack will expire in 30 days…
There is also a
10th anniversary attendance check,
where you must kill 200 monsters per day. It starts on April 29 and
lasts until May 29, meaning you will have extra days left if you miss a
few!
- 1 day: 10th Anniversary Coin
- 4 days: Double Orange Mushroom Riding Coupon
- 5 days: 10th Anniversary Coin

The
10th Anniversary Shop has opened! You can spend your 10th Anniversary Coins there to buy a variety of items, including the 10th anniversary set!
You can trade in 100 Maple Leaves for 1 10th Anniversary Coin. You
can also buy 10th Anniversary Black weapons, Advanced Potential Scrolls,
Silver/Gold Additional Potential Stamps, 50% Golden Hammers, 10% Clean
Slate Scrolls, 60% Innocent Scrolls, Safety Scrolls, Protect Scrolls,
and some 10th Anniversary scrolls.
Speaking of which, this year there are two anniversary sets which
consist of a hat, face accessory, overall, cape, pendant, belt, and
weapon. Big thanks to
기획팀 of Maple Inven for
the pictures of all these items! For reference, 공격력 is attack, 마력 is
magic attack, and the last line on each item is the number of slots.
One is the
10th Anniversary White set for level 10, it has the following set effects (note: the face accessory is not included in the set):
- 4 set effect: 300 HP and MP, 5 attack and magic attack, 200 accuracy and avoid
- 6 set effect: 10 all stats, 10 attack and magic attack
You can see the weapons
here.
The
10th Anniversary Black set is for level 110, and
has the same components. Note: the picture above is a bit outdated, the
10th Anniversary Black Buckle (belt) gives 10 attack and magic attack
as well. This one has the following set effects:
- 3 set effect: 500 HP and MP, 3 attack and magic attack
- 4 set effect: 7 all stats, 8 attack and magic attack, 300 accuracy and avoid
- 5 set effect: 20% HP and MP, 14 attack and magic attack, 9% total damage
- 6 set effect: 8 all stats, 20 attack and magic attack, 30% defense ignore
You can see the weapons
here.
The
Maple chat system has been reorganized! When you open it,
you’ll see the weekly Maple stars, one male and one female. I’ll talk
about this in the next paragraph. Anyways, you can now choose one of
three modes:
- Two-person chat: talk one on one with a random person
- Buzz chat: talk with up to 5 other random people
- Friend chat: talk with up to 5 of your friends
Now, you can
like people by entering a random chat
(I don’t think this works with your friends) and clicking the heart
button below them. Every week, the characters with the highest likes in
each world will be showcased in the chat UI as the
weekly Maple stars.
In addition, until May 20, if you are able to collect 100 likes from other users, you’ll get the
Amazing Maple Star title!
There are some additional features in Maple chat.
First of all, sometimes the Maple chat NPC
Irene will appear and give out topics for you to talk about. There are even cute animated
emoticons available to use by clicking the smiley face beside the chat entry. You can
whisper someone quickly by pressing the chat button below their avatar. Also, you can switch between five different
backgrounds for your chat by using the buttons in the top left.
I don’t usually talk about
Monster Life, but the
patch notes made it seem important because it was ‘reorganized to be
much easier to play’, so I guess I’ll talk about it.
First of all,
14 new buildings have been added,
including the above two 10th anniversary ones. The one on the left can
be bought using Nexon Cash and the one on the right can be acquired for
free by participating in an event.
57 new monsters have been added as well, including Petite Mercedes and Phantom, Von Bon, and Pierre. They’re so cute~!
You can now
rename monsters for a small Waru (in-game currency for Monster Life) fee, as well as
extend the life of monsters you own (since they don’t actually die, I think this is referring to extending their potential stats duration).
The friends list has been expanded to 100 slots and you can now go straight to a farm by entering its name.
You can now pay 1000 Waru to automatically harvest your buildings when they’re ready.
Also, you can complete certain quests 10 times in order to get 1
Gem (the Cash Shop currency in Monster Life).
Until May 23,
all characters except for Xenon can be created! Don’t miss your chance to play that job you’ve been waiting for~
Soul Masters can now be created! They have received the same general changes as Striker and Wind Breaker, which you can see in
this post.
Like the previous Cygnus, Soul Masters have a new play style and unique features.
Two new buffs,
Falling Moon (2nd job) and
Rising Sun (3rd
job), can be used to give unique stats as well as affect many of your
skills. They’ll be different depending on which buff is active, both in
looks and utility!
The second job skills’ Rising Sun versions cannot be used until third job.
In fourth job you’ll gain access to
Solunar Time,
which combines the buffs of Falling Moon and Rising Sun while
alternating between the different versions of all your skills. Your
attacking speed will become much faster as well!
Soul Master’s
character card gives 2/3/4/5 (%?) defense.

On April 27, there will be a
Hot Time for the release of the new Soul Master. You’ll get the
Intention Soul Master hat and a
Character Slot Expansion Coupon!
The
Soul Master Equipment Support event will run
until May 30, giving free equipment at levels 10, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40,
50, 60, and 70 to both new and existing Soul Masters.
The experience penalty when fighting monsters below your level has
been removed! Finally, high levels can train! However, fighting monsters
20 levels or more above you will still result in a penalty.
The experience for
Evolving System monsters has been increased! Yay, maybe they realized the experience nerfs from a couple of patches back was too severe.
Henesys has been visually reworked to celebrate the
10th anniversary! I think it looks great, but I definitely will miss
the old version, just because of nostalgia, haha. They even updated the
NPCs!
The forgotten continent of the Demons,
Masteria. Maple warriors, go to save the imprisoned Demons in
Crimsonwood Citadel! Crimsonwood
Citadel is one of two new theme dungeons, this one for levels 130 or
higher available through the Dimensional Mirror. It is based off of
Crimsonwood Keep from GMS.
Only the last map is a party play zone. There are a lot of monsters
that were added in Tespia that are missing, such as the Crimsonwood Keep
bosses and Bigfoot.
This place has three new minigame type quests (which are very fun, hopefully this continues in the future) including
sniping (shooting down ghosts with your mouse),
climbing walls (climb the walls of the Citadel while avoiding obstacles), and
trap pass (pass through a map without taking damage from the falling traps).
A new area has been found in the Crossroads map in
Leafre.
Colossus, a rock giant, has appeared in Leafre. He has been infected
by the Black Mage, save Colossus by removing the evil aura from his
heart!
Colossus the Giant is a new theme dungeon for levels 150 and higher. It also includes two minigames,
riding
(ride down the mountain while fighting monsters, if you’ve played
Castle Crashers this is pretty similar to the forest chase level) and
sniping (shoot down flying bees with your mouse). There is a party play zone map here, although I’m not sure which.
The boss of this area can drop two items, the permanent
Kapu Riding mount as well as the
permanent Halfling Expedition Badge!
Finally, a permanent badge~ It gets random stats so you might have to
fight multiple times before you get one that’s good for you.
Here are the monsters you’ll find in Colossus. The last is
Tarantulus, the boss! Look at the mark on its forehead,
doesn’t it look familiar? Both this area and Crimsonwood Citadel are very interesting considering they both relate back to
Damian, Demon’s brother and the newest commander of the Black Mage…
Three new
boss souls have been added for the Soul Weapon system.
Commando Goat Attack: Use the power of the Soul Weapon to summon Xerxes, attacking monsters in front of you with goats.
Hot Totem Drop: Use the power of the Soul Weapon to summon Zakum, giving monsters around you a taste of hot totems.
Flame Empress: Use the power of the Soul Weapon to summon Cygnus, attacking monsters around you with flames.
An
easy mode has been added for
Arkarium! You can enter from the existing NPC, but the entry limit is shared with Easy and Normal mode.
Arkarium (including Easy Mode) now drops the
Mechinator Pendant,
which gives 10 to all stats, 250 HP and MP, 1 attack and magic attack
with 2 slots. It can be traded with the Platinum Scissors of Karma. The
patch notes say it comes with increased additional options as well.
An
Easy Mode has been added for
Zakum!
You can talk to Tylus in El Nath to be teleported to Easy Zakum’s
altar, and to receive free All-Cure Potions and Eyes of Fire (cannot be
used for Normal Mode). Easy Mode is for levels 50 and over, solo play
only, and can reward some of Normal Mode’s drops randomly.
Chaos Root Abyss bosses’ clear system has been
changed. They now reset every Thursday instead of daily, and if you
exhaust your Death Count but your remaining party kills them, it will
count as a clear for you.
A new NPC,
Balalio, allows users to use the
Legendary Spirit scrolling skill for a small fee in towns~ Currently he is only expected to be available for the 10th anniversary.
The
Cash Shop has been reorganized! It looks great, finally we’ll have a widescreen resolution in there, haha.
In celebration, you can buy one of each of the above items for only
10 NX each! Free Miracle Cube, Master Miracle Cube, Miracle Circulator, and Anvil anyone?
A new Cash Shop ring called the
Blood Ring has been
added. When worn, this ring gives you 10% bonus experience when fighting
monsters. In addition, if anyone in your party also has the ring, both
of you will gain an extra 5% experience!
You can see who has a ring by checking the party HP bar window.
Murmur, the Soul Weapon NPC, has returned! He has
sent out clones across Maple World that you can defeat in order to get
Murmur’s Pouch.
You can open
Murmur’s Pouch to get the following prizes.
- Enhanced Soul Enchanter
