EXPlosion Changes Now Permanent!
The Maplers have spoken, and we hear you loud and clear. You loved our
EXPlosion event so much we've decided to make the changes to our EXP
curve a permanent part of MapleStory. Now not only you, but all future
Maplers will enjoy an easier leveling experience!
New Content!
Cygnus Knights
MapleStory's first premium class is here. A Cygnus Knights character
can be created by any player with a level 20 or above character. All
Knights begin at level 1 with the Noblesse job. Once a Knight reaches
level 10 they can chose to take one of five new jobs; Dawn Warrior,
Blaze Wizard, Wind Archer, Night Walker, or Thunder Breaker. Cygnus
Knights characters can enjoy a new quest line, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th job
advancements, and 120 levels of content.
Maker Skill
At level 45 players can now learn the Maker Skill. After learning the
skill, player will gain the ability to craft items out of materials
found throughout Maple World. Only items level 50 and above can be
crafted, and players can only craft items up to 5 levels above their
own level. So a level 60 player can craft items up to level 65. Maker
Skill can also be used to upgrade crafting materials like gems and to
turn unneeded equipment items into crafting material.
Blessing of the Fairy
Blessing of the Fairy is a passive skill that all Cygnus Knights
characters receive upon making their first job advancement. This skill
increases the stats of both the Cygnus Knights character and the
regular character used to create it based on each character?s level. If
the regular character used to create the Cygnus Knights character is
deleted, the Cygnus Knights character?s Blessing of the Fairy will
remain the same level. If the Cygnus Knights character is deleted, the
regular character used to create it will have it?s Blessing of the
Fairy skill level reduced to 0 until that character is used to create
another Cygnus Knights character.
Vicious? Hammer Item
Vicious? Hammer is a Cash Shop item that can be used on any piece of
equipment to increase that item?s upgrade slots by 1. Vicious? Hammer
can be used on an item a maximum of 2 times. Items that have had
Vicious? Hammer applied to them will not be eligible for MTS at this
time. MTS service for Vicious? Hammer items will become available at a
later date.
New Plastic Surgery
Two new faces have been added for each gender to the Henesys, Orbis,
and Mu Lung plastic surgeon's regular and VIP plastic surgery. All
white lenses have also been added.
New Skin Colors
Green and Pink skin colors are now available at all skin shops in MapleStory.
MTS Service Charge Change
MTS service charge has been changed to a 500NX base transaction fee and a 7% of sale price transaction fee.

Bishops have been rebalanced to receive a penalty for using an
Elemental Wand or Staff without the Holy element to use Holy skills.
