GMS v.268: Maple University's credits, familiars and graduation

GMS v.268 launched April 22, 2026 with Maple University's 21st-anniversary events. Campus credits funded growth rewards and temporary lecture benefits, six club games supplied separate furnishing progress, and Rock Spirit familiars offered a path to a Unique graduation choice. Several activities ended before the June 16 university closing date. The later September 8 correction also canceled the proposed forced renaming of existing accented character names; the event schedule below belongs to this historical release.

Naming, regional purchases and platform fixes

New character, guild, alliance/rank, android/pet and Skill Sequence names could no longer contain accents or other diacritics. At launch the notes proposed a future rename for existing accented character names. The September 8 update canceled that existing-name change while keeping the restriction on newly created names.

From the April 22 maintenance, players accessing from Brazil could no longer purchase chance-based Cash Shop items, including circulators, cubes, probability coupons/boxes, Gachapon items and scrolls, or Marvel/Double Marvel spins. Earlier obtained items remained usable. April 21's correction described the restriction as temporary while age verification and the regional response were being developed. The English and Portuguese sections described the same purchase restriction.

Sia's fifth-job dialogue and Book of Sia quest names were corrected, with progression fixes for Sia and Mo Xuan quests. macOS gained Key Bindings options and a shortcut guide at first entry.

Campus credits connected hunting and solo bosses

Maple University ran April 22 after maintenance–June 16 at 23:59 UTC for level 101 characters with Zero Act 2. Joining “[Maple University] To Destinations Unknown” unlocked the university activities. Campus Life progress was account-shared, while its rewards could move among characters within the same world.

Gen Ed, Major and Internship progress reset Wednesday at 00:00 UTC. Internship credits appeared when opening Campus Life. Unlike the later events that paid only the difference for a higher clear, these Internship rules explicitly added the lower and higher difficulty rewards together, within the fifteen-credit weekly cap. Each earned credit also gave Campus Points, Mu Gong Points and Ephenia Points, used for different purposes. Campus Points were permanent/untradable; Mu Gong Points and Ephenia Points were permanent and world-tradable.

Basic rewards and the 49,900-Maple-Point premium track alternated milestones. April 29 corrected the premium price from the earlier 49,000 listing.

The Campus set contained Pink & Black Bean Clips, Maple University Student Outfit and Maple University Student Shoes, Maple Campus Crest and Maple Campus Student ID weapon. Cosmetic contents were permanent and untradable, with the background account-bound. The outer coupons and ordinary consumables were world-tradable until June 17 at 02:00 UTC; reward claiming ended June 16 at 23:59 UTC.

Special Lectures lasted a week beyond earning credits

Special Lectures used Mu Gong Points for combat stats and Ephenia Points for content perks. Effects applied to participating characters within the same world. Upgrades ended June 16 at 23:59 UTC, but the effects remained through June 23 at 23:59 UTC. Per-level costs were 1, 2, 4, 8, 10 and 17 points for levels 1–6.

Daily reward bonuses were not retroactive to quests completed before activation. The Arcane/Grandis rows supplied EXP and additional symbols, selectable for different characters and quests. Arcane daily EXP applied only to Tenebris. Grandis support covered Cernium, Arcus, Odium, Shangri-La, Arteria, Carcion and Tallahart. Epic Dungeon's perk affected Basic EXP rather than bonus rewards. The boss Sol Erda Energy came from the loot box after Hard Lotus or a higher qualifying clear. Extra weekly Legion coins did not count for coin-related achievements.

Memories customized the Student ID and competed with EXP exchanges

My Maple U Student ID ran through June 16. Enemy drops were Maple U Memories worth one Memory, Pleasant Maple U Memories worth five, or Happy Maple U Memories worth fifty, affected by the character's drop rate, with a 99,999 carried limit. The three-slot phrase was account-shared. Choosing a phrase cost 500 Memories per slot; locking one or two slots cost two or four Memories. Slot 1 could be blank, and a character-name entry in slot 3 showed the current character's name.

The medal coupon was world-tradable through June 16 at 23:59 UTC and yielded a permanent untradable Mysterious Memories of Maple University medal. Exchanging 500 Memories bought 100 Advanced EXP Voucher items with that same June 16 deadline. Separate cumulative collection rewards gave 1,000 Advanced EXP Voucher items at 500 Memories, the Maple University damage skin at 1,000, 2,000 Advanced EXP Voucher items at 1,500 and a permanent world-tradable Maple University Student ID Photocard Chair at 2,100. The cumulative timed rewards expired June 17 at 02:00 UTC.

Rowdy Campus Life ran April 22–June 2, then Glorious Graduation June 3 at 14:00 UTC–June 16. Their hunting skill charged with 250 level-range kills and activated up to thirty times daily per character. Cumulative reward progress counted at most thirty activations daily per world. Auto/manual modes were selectable; leaving the hunting zone, changing channel or entering Cash Shop ended the skill. EXP buffs and death penalties applied, and the notes explicitly applied Rune EXP even without an active Rune.

Rowdy's account-tradable rewards came at 200 activations for ten VIP Booster items, 400 for a Sol Erda/30-fragment selector and 600 for 150 Karma Black Rebirth Flame items, expiring June 10 at 02:00 UTC. Graduation's 200-activation reward was a Transcendent Growth Potion expiring June 17 at 02:00 UTC. The selected Sol Erda lasted seven days; fragments were permanent.

Club games had a voucher cap and uncapped furnishing progress

Club Fair offered six games through June 16, entered from the Event List or Hipster Rock Spirit. The combined weekly point cap was 1,000 for Advanced EXP Voucher items: each 1,000 points paid 2,000 world-tradable vouchers, usable through June 17 at 02:00 UTC. Furnishing progress for each game was uncapped. Coupon furnishings were permanent and untradable.

The first daily ten-floor Cakestack clear gave a one-day Class President Light Stick; that reward line capped obtained sticks at four. Election support had its separate world daily rule below.

Each game unlocked five furnishings at 1,000/2,000/3,000/4,000/5,000 points respectively:

Reaching 5,000 points in every game awarded My Home Maple School Design Coupon, world-tradable until June 17 at 02:00 UTC. Claims ended June 16.

Pink Bean's Campus Tour separately required 2,100 points in each game: Adventure gave Pink Bean Beanie, Beach Ball Black Bean Beanie, Notes Pink & Black Sneakers, Tower Pink & Black Beans, Pyramid the Pink & Black University Jumper (M) Coupon and One Card the Pink & Black University Jumper (F) Coupon. Mystic Frontier's 21 expeditions gave a permanent world-tradable Pink Bean Terrarium. Monster Election's 2,100 points gave Pink Bean Backpack; collecting 2,100 Student ID points gave a permanent world-tradable Maple University Student ID Photocard Chair. Rowdy and Graduation each required 210 activations, giving College Buddy Pink Bean effect and Pink & Black Laptop. Completing all Tour missions gave Maple University Student medal. Cosmetic coupons lasted seven days and were world-tradable, yielding permanent untradable contents.

The election's winning buff went to every participant

Monster Election voting ran April 22–May 14 at 23:59 UTC, choosing Pixie, Pepe or Desert Rabbit and receiving that team's permanent untradable Label Ring. After selection, the first daily clear of Cakestack, Notes, Adventure and Beach Ball offered support sticks through the exit NPC; 1,000 level-range kills offered another. The combined allowance was five daily within the world. Spending five weekly gave a seven-day untradable Onyx Apple.

First/second minigame ranking supplied team Cheer Points, calculated Thursday at 00:00 UTC. Those placements also gave the permanent untradable Mini-Game Ranker medal; repeat rankers supplied additional Cheer Points instead. The winner was announced May 15 at 00:00 UTC. Every participating world could then claim the winner's pledge coupon daily through June 16, regardless of chosen candidate. Voters for the winner additionally received permanent world-tradable Basic Damage Skin (Unit).

Rock Spirit enrollment led to a Unique graduation familiar

Enrollment supplied Model Freshman Rock Spirit Familiar, Eager Freshman Rock Spirit Familiar and Problem Freshman Rock Spirit Familiar through a world-tradable pack expiring June 17 at 02:00 UTC. Each familiar was permanent/untradable with ATT/Magic ATT +3%. Model and Problem added dice total +3 and final multiplier ×1.2 when the lineup shared one element; Eager gave ×1.6 with a Fairy familiar. Preset Mystic Frontier potentials ended June 16, then reset to normally unlockable potential. Red Card rerolls, fusion and rank-up were unavailable, and extraction was disabled during the event.

Academic Capture?! ran April 23–June 16, requiring Mystic Frontier's quest and Enrollment. Maple University appeared randomly in exploration and used the printed guarantee (weekly expedition total / 4) > Maple University clear count, with at most three Campus explorations weekly. The Honor Student's Scholarship Kit was untradable for 21 days and gave twenty permanent untradable Gold Frontier Coin Coupon items, five permanent untradable fragments and a seven-day world-tradable 3x coupon.

Next-exploration effects were Academic Lineage's dice difficulty reduction 20%, Dean's Lesson's twenty action points or Study Notes' two rerolls. Cumulative Campus clears paid a booster pack at 3, fifty Karma Black Rebirth Flame items at 6, five Mystical Familiar Card items at 9, Sol Erda at 12 and a Unique familiar choice at 15. Timed ordinary rewards expired June 17 at 02:00 UTC; the booster coupon was untradable and the other listed supplies world-tradable.

The Unique Model Graduate Rock Spirit Familiar, Eager Graduate Rock Spirit Familiar and Problem Graduate Rock Spirit Familiar choices gave Ignore Defense +35% and continuous party HP recovery +7%. Model/Problem's same-element Frontier multiplier became ×1.4 with dice +3, while Eager's Fairy multiplier became ×1.8. The preset Frontier effects still ended June 16. An already owned Epic version of the chosen graduate was removed and replaced; Red Cards remained unavailable.

Short campus visits had earlier closing dates

Yeti's Day ran May 5 at 10:00 UTC–May 7 at 23:59 UTC. The Jr.Pepe Doll helped call Yeti's siblings when nearby in El Nath; after gathering them, the campus NPC tour awarded seven-day world-tradable coupons for permanent Jr. Yeti Hat and Jr. Yeti Trio and a permanent world-tradable Jumbo Junior Yeti Doll.

Campus Maple Leaves Aloft ran May 11–13. Ten Sunshine That Trees Love drops from level-range enemies exchanged at the University Maple Tree on Maple Tree Hill for a Golden Maple Leaf. Delivering it to Pink Bean launched a balloon and awarded two seven-day world-tradable Magnificent Growth Potion items and the seven-day 21st Anniversary Label/Chat Ring Coupon, with permanent untradable rings. The notes hinted at repeating the activity for a hidden mission without giving its full condition.

The Campus Point Shop stayed open until June 17 at 02:00 UTC, while point earning ended June 16 at 23:59 UTC. Wednesday 00:00 UTC reset weekly purchase limits. Its Sauna row had an earlier June 16 at 02:00 UTC expiry, and its Heart Upgrade Module: Plasma lasted seven days.

The ten-point Heart Upgrade Module: Plasma required event enrollment first, then a solo Easy Kaling or higher qualifying clear. Only after obtaining its Plasma Heart could the meso shop sell additional Plasma Heart items. Other meso inventory was:

The previous Challenger season needed migration by May 14

The earlier Challenger event ended April 21 at 23:59 UTC and moved characters into its leap zone April 22 at 14:00 UTC. Up to five level 130+ characters could leap by May 14 at 23:59 UTC; characters left behind were scheduled for deletion. A slot was added if needed unless the destination had reached its maximum capacity.

This release explicitly allowed event coins and shared skills to transfer. Cash Inventory, Auction House and delivery items/mesos did not transfer, and backgrounds needed extraction through Mover. Guild membership, a join request or guild leadership blocked leaping. Inventory blockers were Mystical, Karma Solid and Karma Bonus Mystical Cubes, Karma Star Force 17-Star Enhancement (Lv. 160), Challenger Lv. 4 Special Skill Ring Selector Coupon and its Challenger Ring of Restraint, Challenger Continuous Ring, Challenger Weapon Jump S Ring, Challenger Weapon Jump D Ring, Challenger Weapon Jump I Ring and Challenger Weapon Jump L Ring.

Goddess's Blessing ran two new-character seasons

Season 2 ran April 22 after maintenance–May 19 at 23:59 UTC, requiring creation after that maintenance. Season 3, added in the May 19 update, ran May 20 at 08:00 UTC–June 16 at 23:59 UTC and required creation after its opening. Each season fixed one participating account character; deletion did not restore the designation. Basic progression was free, premium cost 35,000 Maple Points and Fashion 15,000.

Premium supplied the chosen character EXP+50%, drop rate+10%, revival and login rewards until that season's end. Most Basic gifts were untradable seven-day boxes, while Premium gifts were world-tradable seven-day boxes. Their contents retained individual handling. Starting support gave a 30-day Snail; Premium added a permanent Goddess's Blessing Title with 30-day ATT/Magic ATT+30, EXP+40% and Normal Enemy Damage+30%, plus 30-day Pendant of the Spirit and Sweet Spirit.

Hasty Hunting and Rock Star letters ended in May

Hasty Hunting MAX ran April 22–May 26 for level 101/Zero Act 2. Enrollment enabled more elites, treasure chests and runes, double Rune EXP and double hunting Sol Erda Energy. Account-shared solo kills paid the permanent world-tradable Space Commander at 50,000, Spark Action unit skin at 100,000 and I've Got That Haste in Me title at 200,000.

Punch King and Dimensional Tower rewarded different skills

Punch King ran April 22–May 19 from level 200/fifth job, with Zero Act 2. Champion Toben Hair supplied a ten-minute preparation room, removing some buffs, then a two-minute damage test with six progressively tougher stages. Progress was account-shared, while up to 5,000 weekly score became fifty Punch Coins per world at 100 score per coin. A better later score paid only its difference. Records reset Wednesday 00:00 UTC, and coins stayed in their earning world.

The three flame purchases were world-tradable and expired June 17 at 02:00 UTC, later than the May 19 challenge ending.

Dimensional Tower ran June 3–16 from level 101/Zero Act 2. Stage 1 had no save point; Stage 2 created one.

Cash transfer, Sauna and Sunday dates

Cash Shop Transfer ran June 10 at 00:00 UTC–June 17 before maintenance for level 101/Zero Act 2. Friendship/Promise Rings, Potion Pot and EXP coupons were excluded and stacks could not split. The feature moved between different job-family Cash Inventories, with twelve groups: Explorer, Cygnus, Resistance, Heroes, Nova, Friends World, Zero, Flora, Jianghu, Sengoku, Anima and SHINE. Characters already sharing the same job-family inventory did not use that cross-family feature.

Luxe Sauna ran April 22–June 16 and accepted Burning characters at level 101/Zero Act 2. Shared account time decreased only inside the room. EXP arrived each five seconds, with level 295+ receiving the level 294 amount. Exhausting time forced exit, and a target-level auto-exit was available. An hour cost 3,000 Maple Points or two half-hour coupons. Charging capped at 48 hours weekly with Wednesday 00:00 UTC reset and could not exceed the remaining event time.

Charged time ended with the event, but its cumulative record persisted. Thirty/100/200/500 charged hours unlocked the permanent Sink/Bathtub/Foot Bath/Cafe, once per account.
