Please note that the content is still in development and may be subject to change upon release.

🔸New Classes - Night Walker / Wind Archer

Two new classes, Night Walker and Wind Archer, will be added to MapleStory : Idle RPG.

Night Walker is a Thief class that utilizes knuckles and throwing stars, unleashing rapid consecutive attacks with the power of shadows and bats. The primary stat is LUK.

Wind Archer is a Bowman class that wields a bow and wind spirits for fast, refreshing long-range attacks. The primary stat is DEX.

🔸New Companions - Night Walker / Wind Archer

New Companions, Night Walker and Wind Archer, will be added alongside the launch of the new classes.

Both Companions support combat using their respective classes' signature skills, and can also be obtained through the existing Companion Summons.

Additionally, a Rate-Up Summon will be available for a higher chance to summon these new Companions. In this Rate-Up Summon, the appearance rate for the featured Companions will be set higher than in past Rate-Up Summons.
* Detailed rates will be available through the probability information after the update.

• Rate-Up Summon chance for new Companions: 40% → 60%

New Companion exclusive skill events will be added, and during the event period, Night Walker and Wind Archer Companions of Unique and Legendary grade will receive exclusive event skills.

• New Companion Exclusive Event Skill

  • The Companion's own Final Damage increases by 25%.

  • This skill applies only during the event period and will be removed via maintenance after the event ends.

Along with the update, the maximum level of Legendary Companions will increase to 16, and three New Companion Rate-Up Summoning Passes will also be available to support the growth of new Companions.

🔸New Chapters - Ereve, Rien, Riena Strait

Chapters 42–44, set in new regions, will be added.

• Chapter 43 - Rien

• Chapter 44 - Riena Strait

New monsters and bosses will appear in the new chapters, and Guide Quests and the Hero's Journey will also be expanded.

🔸Chapter EXP Improvements

EXP gains in higher chapters will be increased.

The EXP increase will be applied progressively starting from Chapter 20, and from Chapter 38 onwards, you can earn approximately twice or more the EXP compared to before.

We hope these improvements make progression more rewarding for all Maplers.

🔸Burning Field Booster System

A new "Burning Field Booster" system will be added, allowing you to earn more EXP through chapter hunting.

When using a Burning Field Booster during chapter hunts, special monsters will appear, and defeating them will grant bonus EXP.

The EXP from these special monsters scales with the EXP of the monsters in the current chapter, with progressively higher multipliers as you advance to higher chapters.

Alongside the Burning Field Booster system, an event where you can use a Burning Field Booster every day will also be available—stay tuned!

🔸Boss Raid: Horntail Chaos Difficulty Added

A Chaos difficulty will be added to Boss Raid: Horntail.

In Boss Raid: Horntail Chaos difficulty, you'll face an even more powerful boss, with chances to obtain the Chaos Horntail Necklace and higher-grade Dea Sidus Earrings.

🔸Monthly Attendance Event

A "Monthly Attendance Event" will be added, allowing you to earn rewards through consistent daily play.

The Monthly Attendance Event begins on Saturday, August 1 at midnight, and will reset on the 1st of each month.

Completing the rewards for clearing all 8 Daily Missions each day will allow you to claim that day's attendance reward, and you can earn a variety of rewards over 28 days based on your cumulative attendance.

Don't miss out on the final Day 28 reward, which includes a [Legendary Artifact Summon]!
