The News

The second Closed Online Test for MapleStory Classic continues tomorrow with a major expansion: Ossyria opens on August 8, 2026. This marks the first time players can explore the iconic sky island region since the test began on August 4.

Ossyria brings two major areas to the test: Orbis, the floating city in the clouds, and El Nath, the icy graveyard region. Players will find the Orbis Tower stretching into the sky and the frozen landscapes surrounding El Nath, including the infamous ice caves.

What's Included

The Ossyria update adds significant content to the test:

• 124 new maps across Orbis and El Nath regions
• 104 new monsters with rebalanced stats from the first test
• 148 new quests to guide players through the content
• Crimson Balrog, a new level 100 boss with approximately 741,000 HP
• The map "The Door to Zakum" is present, but Zakum himself is not yet available

Level Cap and Jobs

The second test raises the level cap from 50 (first test) to level 70, which is where 3rd job begins. All ten 3rd job branches are available with 73 new skills between them. However, 4th job is not included in this test phase.

Important class changes from the first test:

• Warriors lost Power Guard and Hyper Body at 2nd job; both moved to 3rd job. The vacated slots are now Rush, an attack hitting up to four monsters.
• Mages received buffs to basic and elemental attacks at max level.
• Archers trigger Final Attack more frequently.

New Systems

Two major new systems debut with this update:

Citizenship System

Starting at level 12, players choose Henesys or Kerning City as their hometown. The system features daily and weekly quests across three ranks, providing steady progression and rewards.

Appearance Customization

The update adds 102 new hair and face styles plus a new eye color system with 9 colors to choose from, significantly expanding character customization options.

Events During the Test

Five events run during the second Closed Online Test:

• A New Adventure Awaits - starts August 8
• Growing Leaf
• Physical Fitness Test
• Up and Up
• Coconut Harvest

What's Not Yet Available

Two features are in the build but not yet playable:

• Ludibrium - An NPC sells tickets and toy monster items exist, but no Ludibrium maps are present
• Housing - Both Citizenship towns have estate agents and furnishing shops, but no houses are available yet

Nexon has not announced either feature, so treat both as teasers rather than confirmed upcoming content.

Important Reminders

As this is a Closed Online Test, keep in mind:

• Balance can still change before live release
• Characters are wiped when the test ends
• Monster levels now display in-game (they were hidden in the first test)
• All monsters from the first test were rebalanced: high-level ones have more HP but hit softer, while low and mid bosses hit harder
