GMS v.269: Erel Light, V Points and shared world mesos

GMS v.269 launched June 17, 2026 with Erel Light, a replacement V Matrix economy, selectable Star Force risk and mesos shared among characters in the same world. Malefic Star and Challenger World's Kai opened June 18. The summer events ran on several different calendars, with corrections on June 16, 17, 22, 23, 26 and 30 changing some of the published requirements or reward handling. This article describes that historical release and its event periods.

Erel Light fought through linked spear attacks

Erel Light joined SHINE as a STR-primary, DEX-secondary warrior using a Gram and Keir. The Legion bonus was Boss Damage +1/2/3/5/6%, while Guiding Stars at mastery level 3 gave Buff Duration +10% and Critical Damage +3%.

Shield of Chulainn supplied a protective shield when Fury or Sting successfully linked from Spear of Lugh. The skill ignored cooldown resets and the linked shield ignored Buff Duration increases. Will of Light could be used during another skill, supplied three seconds of abnormal-status immunity, retained exceptions for some statuses and did not receive Combat Orders.

Passive Hypers gave Spear of Lugh damage, extra attacks and Boss Damage; Fury and Sting each received damage, Ignore Defense and Critical Rate options. Active Hypers were Piercing of Chulainn, Impulse of Chulainn's Final Damage buff and Hundred Pole's Critical Damage buff. Fifth-job skills were Eternal Light, Sentinel Rise with eight sentinels, Eternal Guardian and Destruction of Roan. The seven boost groups covered Spear of Lugh, Fury, Sting, Spear of Light, Charge of Fionn and Path of Fionn, and Impulse of Chulainn.

The sixth-job Erda Link section introduced Fall of Melin's continuous and finishing attacks, Radiant Spear's airborne spear throw, SHINE upgrades for Lugh/Fury/Sting, and boosts for the four fifth-job skills. The named stones and their requirements belonged to Erel's SHINE progression rather than an ordinary weapon upgrade.

SHINE combined level rewards with two paid calendars

SHINE: The Power of Starlight ran June 17–September 8 at 23:59 UTC. Only SHINE characters created after June 17 at 14:00 UTC qualified, including Hyper Burning characters. Starlight of Progress had a free track and a 35,000-Maple-Point premium track. Premium supplied the selected character with EXP +50%, drop rate +10% and revival until the event ended, plus cumulative login rewards. Level and story rewards were claimable through September 8, with most fixed-expiry coupons ending September 9 at 02:00 UTC.

The starter free Mysterious Cryptic Chest supplied an untradable 30-day Snail. The starter gift boxes and chest expired September 9 at 02:00 UTC. Premium added Chosen by Light Title Coupon, which gave Chosen by Light, an untradable permanent title with 30-day ATT/Magic ATT +30, Normal Enemy Damage +30% and EXP +40%; the Sia Astelle Outfit Coupon and Erel Light Outfit Coupon choices; Pendant of the Spirit Coupon (30 Days); and Sweet Spirit (30 Days) Coupon. These premium coupons were world-tradable until September 9 at 02:00 UTC. The Pendant coupon produced an untradable 30-day Pendant of the Spirit, while the latter produced an untradable Sweet Spirit Coupon (30-days) lasting 30 days.

Level gift boxes were untradable and used that fixed expiry, except the level 235 Basic Gift itself lasted seven days. Unless the table gives a different duration, premium rewards were world-tradable with the fixed expiry except Burning Boss Accessory Box, the regional symbol coupons, the level 225 EXP Vouchers and the permanent fragments: those were untradable.

The event-ring selector also produced permanent untradable rings.

The mount selector produced seven-day world-tradable mount coupons. Oortroid and Heliaroid selectors instead produced permanent untradable android coupons.

Malefic Star and Kai had different clear rules

Malefic Star opened June 18 at 00:00 UTC for level 280 characters who had completed “[Black Sea] Return.” Entry was through Black Sea's Enrapturing Temple gate. The weekly encounter accepted one to three players for 30 minutes. Sacred Power requirements were 400 in Story and Normal and 550 in Hard.

Blissful Nightmare was a level 250 Brilliant Boss ring with all stats +10, HP/MP +500 and ATT/Magic ATT +5. It and Maleficroid were permanent, untradable in Heroic and world-tradable until equipped in Interactive. Two permanent untradable Blissful Fantasy Fragments formed one Blissful Fantasy Shard; ten shards purchased an Eternal hat, top, bottom or shoulder. The Eternal Armor of Radiance Box offered that same choice, permanent and untradable. These were possible boss drops, without a guaranteed drop rate stated here.

Ten Malefic Star's Soul Shards formed a random Malefic Star Soul, permanent and untradable. The ordinary variants were Beefy Malefic Star Soul (STR +24), Swift Malefic Star Soul (DEX +24), Clever Malefic Star Soul (INT +24), Fortuitous Malefic Star Soul (LUK +24), Flashy Malefic Star Soul (all stats +15), Potent Malefic Star Soul (ATT +6), Radiant Malefic Star Soul (Magic ATT +6) and Hearty Malefic Star Soul (HP +960). Magnificent Malefic Star Soul rolled ATT/Magic ATT +3%, all stats +5%, HP +2,000, Critical Rate +12%, Ignore Defense +7% or Boss Damage +7%. At level 2, Siren cost 200 soul for four 1,200% attacks against up to 15 enemies on a 30-second cooldown. Echoing Starlight cost 250 for a 120-second summon at 2,200% against up to 12 targets, with a 150-second cooldown and separate summon-damage calculation.

The new achievement names were Picky Eater, Acquired Taste, True Gourmand, Teatime for Two, A Plate Licked Clean, Worthy of Attention, Worthy of Admiration, Worthy of Obsession, Season to Taste, That's Deep, Dude, Anything for You, Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, Blissful Nightmare, You're Mine!, and Eternal Fantasy, each under the Malefic Star prefix, plus I Knew This Might Happen, So I Equipped Blissful Nightmare and Fading Illusions.

Siren's Song ran June 18–July 21 at 23:59 UTC from level 280/Zero Act 2. A Normal or Hard clear was required; Story and Practice did not count. Records were shared within the world and Hard satisfied Normal. The illustrated reward dialogue specified one claim per account. Normal supplied Malefic Star Spirit Effect Coupon, choosing Malefic Spirit Effect or Radiant Spirit Effect. Hard supplied Malefic Label/Chat Ring Coupon, giving Malefic Label Ring and Malefic Chat Ring. World-tradable coupons expired July 22 at 02:00 UTC and yielded permanent untradable effects or rings. An effect-related hidden mission was hinted at without its complete conditions being published.

Kai was a different weekly boss restricted to Challenger-created characters. Normal required 270, Hard 280, with Zero Act 2. Annette supplied entry in Henesys, Nameless Town, Cernium Square or Challenger World's Residential District. It was a solo 20-minute encounter, clearable once weekly per account with Thursday 00:00 UTC reset and no Intense Power Crystal. Kai ran June 18–September 8 at 23:59 UTC.

Drops included permanent world-tradable Golden Meso Pouches and world-tradable Asynchronous Time Shards expiring September 8 at 23:59 UTC. Ten shards formed an Eternal hat/top/bottom/shoulder choice. Eternal Armor Box of Time and Kai's Eternal Armor Box were untradable seven-day boxes, the latter selecting shoes/gloves/cape. Those shoes, gloves and capes were permanent, untradable in Heroic and world-tradable until equipped in Interactive. Kai's Pitched Armor Box randomly offered Berserked, Magic Eyepatch, Dreamy Belt, Endless Terror, Source of Suffering, Commanding Force Earring or Will's Cursed Spellbook Selection Box. The box was untradable for seven days; its equipment contents were permanent and untradable, while the spellbook box lasted seven days. Kai's Basic Sol Erda Fragment Box and Kai's Advanced Sol Erda Fragment Box were untradable seven-day boxes with random fragment amounts whose quantities and probabilities were not specified. Recall Strike at level 1 cost 250 soul for four 450% hits against up to ten targets, on a 150-second cooldown.

The Kai Clear Event additionally required “[Black Sea] Return” and accepted solo Practice clears. Records were shared across the account, and Hard also awarded Normal rewards. Normal gave Time-Lashed Wanderer Face/Hair Coupon Voucher, whose Time-Lashed Wanderer Face Coupon and Time-Lashed Wanderer Hair Coupon were world-tradable for seven days. Time-Lashed Wanderer Outfit Set Coupon gave permanent untradable Time-Lashed Visor, Time-Lashed Earrings, male/female Time-Lashed Clothes, Time-Lashed Boots and Chronal Sequencer. Hard gave Time-Lashed Label/Chat Ring Coupon, containing permanent untradable Time-Lashed Label Ring and Time-Lashed Chat Ring, plus Magnificent Kai's Soul Box. Its permanent untradable soul guaranteed Magnificent Kai Soul (ATT +3%) or Magnificent Kai Soul (Magic ATT +3%). Their world-tradable outer coupons expired September 9 at 02:00 UTC.

V Points replaced node slots and node copies

Nodestones now granted V Points: ordinary Nodestone 1, Amazing Nodestone 2, Skill Nodestone 2, Experience Nodestone 3, Mirror World Nodestone 5 and Mitra's Nodestone 15, with a 9,999 carried cap. The first Mirror World Nodestone and Mitra's Nodestone use unlocked True Arachnid Reflection and Solar Crest respectively; later uses granted points. Two points could become one Nodestone, world-tradable as clarified June 17. Resetting point distribution cost ten million mesos.

Job and Common Nodes capped at level 30, Boost Nodes at 60, and only one Special Node could be equipped. Level-based slot enhancement and expansion were removed. Existing equipped and unequipped nodes converted differently. If equipped Boost Nodes converted to at least 444 V Points, all boosts arrived at maximum level and remaining points were returned. The conversion amounts were:

Equipped Job/Skill Nodes retained a mapped new level, while unequipped copies became points:

Special Nodes could enter Buff Favorites. Auto Recovery II and Comeback II lost their numerals, while Comeback I, Auto Recovery I, Lucky Recovery I, Rune-frenzied, Consecutive Strike I, Lethal Strike II and Rune-blessed were removed. Mapae and Roro appeared only after their stones were obtained. Their durations could not be extended by ordinary methods; the duplicate “Use Again” route listed seven days for Mapae and three for Roro.

Sol Hecate added a new Common HEXA Node and exclusive skills: Styx attacked and planted a death seed, Charon protected against a fatal hit, Phlegethon altered the battlefield and Pactum tuned how an exclusive skill manifested. Its upgrades and exclusive skills were distinct from the V Point conversion.

Star Force risk became selectable, and souls moved into one interface

Enhancement Mode applied from 15 to 21 stars. Mode 1 retained standard rates and costs, modes 2–3 reduced destruction chance, and mode 4 set destruction to zero at a higher price. Mode 4 was unavailable at 15–17 because its cost and destruction result matched Safeguard. Enabling Safeguard while in mode 2 or 3 automatically returned the selection to mode 1. MVP and event cost discounts and event destruction reductions still applied.

Soul Collection combined shard storage, crafting, recording and extraction in one menu/hotkey interface, with sorting, filtering and favorites. Shards from inventory, bags and boss reward storage appeared together, capped at 99,999 per enemy. Bulk crafting was supported. Completing every soul of a boss unlocked level 2 Soul Skills and its hidden illustration/information. Permanent ordinary souls could be extracted in batches of five; returned shards could differ from the originating soul. Murgoth joined the collection.

Familiar slot conditions became shared within a world, while each character still completed the unlock quest. If another character had slot 3, finishing the slot 2 quest could also unlock 3. Muting familiar attack sounds, an animation toggle, faster extraction/fusion and clearer rank-up availability accompanied the change. Mystic Frontier rest became 30 minutes at every expedition rank, completion appeared above HP/MP and in My Notifications, and Interactive expeditions could yield Chains of Resentment.

Class balance mixed new functions with coefficient changes

The following comparisons preserve the published skill level and attack component. A larger Ascent coefficient did not necessarily mean every passive or repeat attack for that class increased.

Mechanic

Activating Robo Conversion: CB-P1 now permanently attached HEXA Robo Launcher RM7, HEXA Rock 'n Shock and HEXA Bots 'n Tots to the nodebot. Their enhancements no longer depended on those three summons remaining separately active. Existing toy robots were cleared on activation, and a skill macro could correctly switch an active nodebot off.

The nodebot was resummoned after Mitra's High Mountain transformation, OMNI-CLN's shrink ray, Arkarium's Snake transformation, Cygnus's Ribbon Pig transformation, or Cygnus's Abyss Tornado; the two bosses' changes applied in Easy and Normal. Mech automatically remounted after Angler Company stages 3 and 7 restricted-area movement or the Nimbus Cloud in Nightmare Paradise stage 4.

• HEXA Falling Star
• HEXA Groundbreaker
• Time Piece
• End Time

Kinesis

Mo Xuan's Secret Art: Qi Projection, Secret Art: Qi Projection V and HEXA Secret Art: Qi Projection stopped activating Sol Janus: Dawn/Sol Janus: Dusk. Thunderbolt Punch preserved the Bind with the longer remaining duration. Sia Astelle's Ray and Boom applied immediately when an enemy was hit.

The coefficient list printed HEXA Octopunch under Corsair, so that row did not clearly establish which job was intended. The Bow Master table also headed its two Flashpoint coefficient rows “Arrow Blaster”; the retained heading and attack-component names should not be read as a confirmed retuning of the ordinary Arrow Blaster. A damage-application fix named Life and Death in the Bow Master subsection, although that Origin skill belongs to Night Lord; the intended class of that fix remained unclear.

Common skills and Link Skills changed their scope

True Arachnid Reflection and Solar Crest cooldowns fell from 250 to 230 seconds and both could join a Skill Sequence, although the sequence did not display their cooldown. Ring of Restraint applied immediately on cast. Passive Link Skill effects stopped applying to Ascent damage, Hyper Stats could not change during an ordinary boss battle, and Lynn/Mo Xuan/Hayato/Kanna received more Ascent range. Epic Dungeon boss stages separately permitted Link, Hyper Stat and Ability preset changes.

The following toggles retained their state after reconnecting, closing the game in the Cash Shop, or a game close caused by server maintenance:

Venom Burst's hit-effect intervals displayed correctly, and Solus activated reliably while combat mode was active. Transcendent Cygnus's Blessing documented its Skill Sequence support. Arrow-key direction changes after the preceding action delay were repaired for the following skills:

Reduced-damage display was fixed for Obsidian Barrier, Smokescreen and Party Shield. Limbo of the Source's Soul Skill description and Normal Guild Skill displays were updated.

Dungeons, guilds and hunting maps changed

High Mountain, Angler Company and Nightmare Paradise EXP rose about 34%. Monster Park added Shangri-La, Arteria, Carcion and Tallahart advanced dungeons, reset cooldowns on Extreme entry and increased the world daily limit from seven to fourteen while retaining seven per character. Free world entries rose from one to two, and MVP Express Passes did not consume the daily allowance.

Laku sold Superior Item Crystals for five Monster Park Commemorative Coins, up to 50 weekly per world, and Azmoth Chasm Monsterblooms for 150, up to five. The bloom could capture the twelve ordinary, one elite and three boss Azmoth monsters, plus Goldeater. Treasure Hunter reduced the guaranteed-spawn requirement after sufficiently long unsuccessful hunting. Rune of Destruction now attacked multiple enemies consecutively and supplied its damage buff.

VIP/Express Booster monsters gained about 52% hit range, Soul of Darkness could be attacked during teleporting, and macro detection covered a larger area. Bind-related skin/debuff displays and Monster Park boss-defeat visuals were corrected, along with Seren's Dusk burn-recovery seal removal, duplicated Limbo at simultaneous Soul Berserk defeat and First Adversary chat-bubble layering.

Guild Bulletin Boards gained default Notice/General headers, up to three custom headers, read/write permissions, view counts, recommendation filters, pinned posts, polls and comment replies. Attendance became automatic on login, with Draco Isle limited to Wanderer's Cabin and Exit. Greater Blessing stats moved into Guild Expertise I. Noblesse allocations stayed if the new week supplied at least the old point total, and reset if the total fell. Online members rose to the top, offline members followed join date, missions notified on completion, and completing Flag Race in time gave 1,000 points without the former entry gate. An unavailable Noblesse skill in a sequence no longer closed the client.

Terrain and enemy placement changed throughout Vanishing Journey, Reverse City, Chu Chu, Yum Yum, Lachelein, Arcana, Morass, Esfera, Sellas, Moonbridge, Labyrinth of Suffering, Limina, Cernium and Arcus. Maple Guide added Hidden Lakeshore, T-Boy's Research Train 2, Hidden Illiard Field, Mirror-touched Sea 6, Void Current 2, Labyrinth Deep Core 5, Rocky Overlook 2 and Train with No Destination 5. Safe Mode remained selected after forced travel into an unsupported map.

Map/NPC fixes covered water reflections for pets/androids and Zero's cloud-ride display in Nightmare Paradise stage 4. Bavan now appeared for characters who had cleared Black Heaven, allowing them to progress "[Verne Mine] Wonny's Dilemma." Mini-map selection arrows, Interact/Harvest during Chu Chu Symbol Express and familiar summoning in Secret Altar Path were also repaired.

Mesos, symbols and everyday interfaces were reorganized

Inventory mesos were pooled across all characters within the same world, up to 9,999,999,999,999. Mesos in Storage remained separate. A leaped character's mesos were collected through “Get World Leap Mesos” in My Notifications, and the notification returned on login until the remaining amount was claimed.

Sacred Symbols gained level 11 boss damage +20% and EXP +10% for Cernium/Seren, Arcus/Kalos, Odium/First Adversary, Shangri-La/Kaling, Arteria/Malefic Star and Carcion/Limbo. Grand Sacred Symbol: Tallahart gained Baldrix damage +20%. The June 16 correction explicitly retracted the advertised Arcane daily 20→40, weekly 40→80 and Grandis daily increases. Those withdrawn lines did not make doubled symbol rewards a v.269 benefit.

Honorable Elixir cost five million mesos at the Collector, was world-tradable and gave ATT/Magic ATT +60 for 30 minutes. It did not stack with Blessing of the 250, Blessing of the 275 or Blessing of the 300. Aurelia's Elixir, Sayram's Elixir and Collector's Elixir became permanent and world-tradable, while older elixirs expiring before June 18 at 03:00 UTC disappeared. Bright Moonlight Potion was removed from Sealed Box (Hat), Sealed Box (Overall, Top, Bottom), Sealed Box (Shoes, Gloves), Sealed Box (Weapon), Chaos Sealed Box (Hat), Chaos Sealed Box (Overall, Top, Bottom), Chaos Sealed Box (Shoes, Gloves) and Chaos Sealed Box (Weapon). It became available from Extreme Chosen Seren, Kalos the Guardian, Kaling and First Adversary. Champion's Renown in Practice required that month's Champion Raid participation and excluded its EXP effect. Protection levels 1–5 required raid scores 10,000/20,000/30,000/45,000/65,000.

Profession Mastery Coupons gave 10,000 Mastery EXP. New 80-slot Chair Bag and 80-slot Title Bag held 80 entries each. Ruin Force Shield could use Dawn Whisper Crystals, Zero could equip normal Freestyle equipment, and Reserve Special Skill Rings could be disassembled or fused once unequipped. Legion's Honor EXP Guarantee purchases rose from three to ten weekly per world, Star Speck acquisition from ten to twelve daily, and relevant coin/currency stacks to 99,999. The Maple Starter Package limit reset. Flask of Life/Kieuk of Death effects became separate toggles, Syncroid/Legionroid set effects displayed, and additional item names/tooltips clarified usable levels, appearance, chair behavior and Explorer hairstyles. Three Moon added a confirmation before extracting Proof of a Shining Hero; booster-active portals warned before travel.

The item fixes covered Winter Prep Muffler actions, buff duration displays, animated chat-ring emotes, party counts in crystal sale history and missing creation upgrade slots. Item Tag and Item Tag Clear could now be used on Astra Secondary Weapons. Affected equipment regained the lost upgrade slot.

Buff Shopper became accessible from Buff Sequence or a hotkey, with favorites and direct purchases or Auction House searches. Direct purchases supported bulk quantities; auction purchases did not. Trade gained character information, registration/final confirmation, a dedicated trade inventory, units for meso values and one “/Trade CharacterName” command. Enter was blocked during registration confirmation and the former level 60/three-day entry restriction was removed.

Quest filters could select multiple story categories and All/Event. Required/Advancement became Job, Contents/System merged, unsuccessful filtered searches widened to all stories, available boss prerequisites grayed outside the recommended level, and larger progress buttons/lightbulb access improved use. Auction House opened from boss entry maps and accepted double-click sale registration. Cash info exposed weapon prisms, fused expressions, notice thumbnails and colored decoration icons while temporary character previews omitted prism colors.

Quick Move added Fog Forest Training Grounds, Maple Guide showed Vestige Coupon sources and adjusted boss tiers, right-click character controls changed, event folders remembered their state, inventory search showed bag/storage locations, and bag windows stayed visible. Trade/storage supported drag-and-drop/right-click. Chat-banned players could not edit Party Finder descriptions.

UI fixes addressed enhancement refresh, weekly-clear notices, overlapping advancement timers, Soul Weapon UI after death, Maple Guide button position, Artifact ordering, Symbol Express achievement counts, enhancement/diligence tooltips, expired/sold detailed tooltips, Archive hotkeys and Evan transparency.

Sixth-job advancement gained cutscene skips and a continuous symbol retrieval route with only one stone charged before the six regional retrievals. Already charging regional stones could proceed immediately. Vanishing Journey's unstable Gigantic Erdas appeared more quickly and Collector damage increased; Arcana rescue accepted Interact/Harvest. World Archive added Kanna, Hayato, Sia and Erel, and Luminous's Journal updated for previously qualified characters.

Party Voice Chat added microphone sensitivity, microphone volume and audio volume controls. It could not connect with the listed nondefault audio-device/multiple-computer setup or during a chat restriction. Discord Connect in Social settings showed the linked account's friends in-game. Custom Portrait used a Portrait Commission Ticket from the two portrait events described below.

Rate corrections changed how repeated options interacted

A permanent Item Drop Rate +24% effect was added outside the maximum drop-boost cap and outside the item-specific scaling ratio. The patch also corrected slightly high underlying drop rates and the Character Info tooltip. The notes did not quantify the previous error or prove that every individual item gained exactly 24% more drops.

Potential trigger chances were corrected for damage ignore/reduction, attack statuses, emotions and HP/MP recovery when previously too high, and reflection when previously too low. HP/MP recovery stopped using only the last equipped option and stopped triggering twice from a weapon. Equal-chance options shared one trigger check and added their recovery amounts; different chances retained independent checks and recovery effects.

Invincibility options likewise stopped ignoring earlier equipped lines. Equal chances were added for their combined trigger check, but the resulting invincibility durations did not add. Different chances continued independent checks. Critical Rate fixes corrected displayed 100% behaving as 99.99999% and chances that exceeded their displayed values.

Legion rank became automatic when level requirements were met and stopped charging coins. My Home's expandable furnishing Storage maximum rose from 300 to 600. Advanced EXP Vouchers, Luxe Sauna and MVP Resort increased EXP for levels 270–272. Sunday Daily Gift check-ins counted twice, and Trace Restoration's accumulated cap rose from 2,500 to 5,000.

Operation: Dive began with Magatia's story and Kroma Coins

The first half ran June 17–July 21 at 23:59 UTC, with the second scheduled July 22–September 8. Level 101 and Zero Act 2 were required. The prologue unlocked Kroma Pack; episodes 1–5 had level gates and had to be watched in order. June 17's correction made watch history world-shared within the account, while a character partway through an episode blocked other characters until it finished.

Kroma Points advanced the reward track, and Kroma Coins bought Record Shop supplies. Weekly points capped at 2,000 and reset Thursday at 00:00 UTC. Special Missions were once-account, did not reset and did not consume that weekly cap. Catch-up cost 1,000 Maple Points per 100 missed points and could not buy Special Missions. Pack rewards could be claimed without watching the next episode; episode rewards and pack progress remained separate requirements.

The 60-level pack alternated fragments and coins. Fragment coupons lasted until September 9 at 00:00 UTC; resulting fragments were untradable in Heroic and world-tradable in Interactive. Kroma Coins expired July 22 at 02:00 UTC.

Episode rewards offered a choice between the named item and 500 Kroma Coins: prologue Witness to the Beyond medal; episode 1 fifty Nodestones; 2 a Magnificent Growth Potion; 3 ten Onyx Apples; 4 two Sauna coupons; 5 Forward to the Beginning medal. Medals and Nodestones were permanent/untradable, while potion, apples and Sauna were world-tradable until July 22 at 02:00 UTC. Rewards were once per world, and the episode area had to be exited through its NPC to make room and receive them.

The Record Shop's initial fragment-bundle price was corrected June 16 from 46 to 450 coins, with its limit falling from 225 to 30. These final values were the relevant budget:

The Anniversary damage-skin selector offered 12th Anniversary Maple Leaf Damage Skin, Constellation Damage Skin, 14th Street Damage Skin, Pixel Basic Damage Skin, Crystal Gold Damage Skin (Unit), Blooming Forest Damage Skin (Unit), Momentree Damage Skin (Unit) or Mayple Damage Skin (Unit), each permanent and world-tradable after opening. The shop closed July 21 and most timed purchases expired July 22 at 02:00 UTC.

Night of Phantasms linked hunting, check-ins and solo bosses

Night of Phantasms ran June 17–September 8 for level 101 characters with Zero Act 2. Raising Ellanos shared research across the account, but each character had to press Improve to receive its earned skill upgrades. The weekly 10,000-kill mission paid 800 Illusion Coins at each 2,000 kills, up to 4,000 coins. Missed research cost 3,000 Maple Points. The hunting gauge summoned Ellanos for bonus attacks/EXP, with increased EXP benefits against level 280+ enemies.

Hunting upgrades arrived at 10/20/30/40/50/55 research, from Walk I through Run I/II, Scratch I/II and Roaring. The active summon upgraded to II/III/IV at 20/40/55, lasted 70 seconds on a 60-second cooldown and could not be summoned in the air. Added attack counts converted into an equal Final Damage increase.

Entering Tallahart's Night of Phantasms map applied Reverberations of Wisdom. Daily symbol bonuses were once per character in each region, and the Arcane daily EXP bonus applied only in Tenebris. Aura effects ended September 8.

Tallahart Fantasia checked in five times weekly, up to 56 collections, each giving three 3x EXP coupons, five Memotes and five Nostamotes. Fifteen accumulated 3x coupons became one 4x coupon. Catch-up cost 3,000 Maple Points. At collection 56, all remaining rewards labeled 56–61 unlocked automatically. Rewards were claimable through September 8 and the fixed-expiry items usable through September 9 at 02:00 UTC.

Memory boosted combat stats and Nostalgia content rewards. Five of each token could initially be purchased, with the allowance rising cumulatively by five each Wednesday at 00:00 UTC. Enhancements ended September 8, while skills lasted through September 15 at 23:59 UTC.

The paired daily-reward rows were printed as percentage and flat additions. Their labels did not explicitly distinguish EXP from symbols, so the table retains those two forms rather than assigning an unstated category.

The selectors offered a seven-day untradable Sol Erda or 30 permanent untradable fragments. Ellanosroid was permanent/untradable in Heroic, world-tradable in Interactive, with an untradable Lidium Heart. The festival outfit contained its headband, formal clothes, sandals, ambiance and Phantasmal Branch. The permanent tree, brazier, mount, effect, profile background and character-select theme were separate rewards.

Psychic Shockwave's effect changed. Ultimate: Gambit and HEXA Ultimate: Gambit attacks no longer sometimes failed to trigger during Fractal Horizon.

Echoes and the three shop budgets

Solo weekly boss clears, including Practice, earned up to 3,000 Faint, 2,000 Clear and 100 Vivid Echoes. A higher later clear paid the difference. Daily and monthly bosses were excluded. The June 23 correction explicitly changed the record reset from Thursday noon to Wednesday at 00:00 UTC.

The published Damien rows assigned Normal 3,000 Faint/200 Clear but Hard only 1,000 Faint. Those explicit cells were inconsistent with the surrounding difficulty pattern and were not silently reversed here. The in-game Boss Rewards view remained the relevant check before relying on that anomalous pair.

Record Hall limits were account-shared. Basic spent Faint, Intermediate Clear and Advanced Vivid Echoes. Most purchases were world-tradable until September 9 at 02:00 UTC; Mu Gong's Soul Shards were permanent and untradable.

The five-Vivid Heart Upgrade Module: Plasma required enrolling in Night of Phantasms before a solo Easy Kaling or higher qualifying clear. Its limit was one across Interactive and Challenger World. Only after obtaining a heart from the module could the meso shop sell additional Plasma Hearts.

Illusion Coins had their own enhancement and growth tabs:

The v.269 Monsterbloom row was permanent and world-tradable. The Character Slot Expansion Coupon was untradable; other timed rows commonly used world trading and September 9 at 02:00 UTC. Event-ring, pet/accessory and heart-scroll selectors retained the specific target equipment in their names.

Meso purchases were separate again:

Android selectors offered Sugaroid, Lilinroid, Laniaroid or Moinroid, permanent/untradable in Heroic and world-tradable in Interactive. Three-billion-meso Plasma Hearts did not bypass the initial module gate.

Challenger World asked for a lasting world-type choice

The June 17–September 8 season allowed five characters and three Tera Burning designations. Choosing Heroic or Interactive locked the account's Challenger type even after deletion. Tera gained two extra levels from 10 to 200. Legion, Artifact, Link transfer, Monster Collection and character-slot expansion were unavailable. Interactive Meso Market used Miss Richfield. Storage-slot, character-slot and wedding-ticket purchases were restricted.

Creation gifts gave Pearl Maple gear, 1,000 Power Elixirs, Interactive Spell Traces and 64 Equip/Use/Etc/Set-up slots, with a five-character claim cap unaffected by deletion. Tera gifts supplied a 30-day Snail, level 30 gear, permanent Frozen gear through timed boxes, 90-day Root Abyss equipment and Eternal Flame title. Normal and Hyper characters could not claim the Tera gift.

Level 260 awarded 3,000 points and coins. Each level 261–269 paid 300/300; 270–274 700/600; 275–279 1,000/900; 280–284 1,500/1,200; 285–289 2,000/1,500; 290 5,000/2,500. The solo hunting mission gave 300 coins for 1,000 level-range kills, daily and five weekly; catch-up cost 3,000 Maple Points. June 26 clarified its Wednesday 00:00 UTC reset. Solo Practice boss missions counted, and higher difficulty satisfied the highest listed mission for that boss.

Bronze–Platinum rewards were Challenger-only claims; Emerald and above could be claimed in the main or Challenger world. Ultimate Legion potions could not be used in Challenger. Tier buffs disappeared after leaping. The first leap window was July 22 at 14:00 UTC–September 8 at 23:59 UTC; the end-of-season window followed September 8 maintenance through September 23 at 23:59 UTC.

The daily 3x/VIP coupons lasted one day, permanent fragments/Spell Traces kept that duration, and standard timed coupons expired September 9 at 02:00 UTC. Frozen Secondary Weapon Box was untradable.

EXP Duo, Partners and Challenger Pass

The 10,000-NX EXP Duo Coupon was sold June 17–September 7 at 08:00 UTC, once weekly with Thursday reset. A level 260 main-world character and level 260 Challenger of matching world type formed a fixed pair. Points earned for seven days and could be used for fourteen. The first 200,000 kills gave four points each, the next 80,000 three, the next 95,000 two and the final 270,000 one; 645,000 kills reached 1.5 million. Deletion or leap ended earning and did not allow a replacement.

Partners enrolled level 200 characters in Henesys through Frendy/Frenny, using different Nexon accounts and a partner who had not already entered a partnership. A partnership could be ended once. All Challenger characters could earn the partner one hunting point per level-range kill, capped at 100,000 weekly, redeemable as level-based EXP. Partner deletion or leap stopped joint mission progress, while earned rewards and hunting continued.

Both partners had to survive a two-person boss clear; Practice and higher difficulties counted. Hard Will and Verus Hilla each gave 100 untradable fragments, Easy First Adversary the world-tradable ring coupon, Hard Seren Partneroid and Normal Kalos the Soul Partner Medal. Appearance/nickname used the state at clear time. The Challenger Partners Ring effect appeared near the partner in town. Item Tag could not modify the ring; neither Item Tag nor Medal Fusion Anvil could modify the Soul Partner Medal.

Challenger Pass fixed a level 101 account character and charged 19,800 Maple Points for premium's Normal Enemy Damage +200% and EXP +20%. Its twenty levels required 480 points each, capped at 3,000 weekly with Thursday reset. Only post-enrollment activity counted. Symbol dailies gave 200 at each six-completion milestone through thirty; ordinary Monster Park gave 100 per clear through five, Extreme and Epic Dungeon 100 each, boss milestones six/twelve 100 each, and hunting 100 at 5,000 then 200 at each 5,000 through 30,000. Catch-up cost 1,000 Maple Points per 100 missed points.

The blanket rule said world-tradable rewards expiring September 9 at 02:00 UTC, except untradable fragments; fragment table rows called them permanent despite the preceding expiry sentence. The duration conflict remained in the published notes rather than establishing both durations at once.

Arcane Seal strengthened temporary Challenger stats

One level 200 character completing “A Greater Power” could participate; changing character reset existing progress. Three wands arrived daily even offline, up to twenty carried, with a partial grant at seventeen to nineteen. One to five could break a barrier. Below Gold used stage 1, then Gold/Emerald/Diamond/Master unlocked stages 2/3/4/5.

Equipping a higher-rarity core extracted the old one into energy. Unused cores could also be extracted. Core stats used the ordinary main/secondary stat, ATT/Magic ATT and main-stat percentage pattern, with HP/STR/ATT for Demon Avenger or all stats/ATT/all-stat percentage for Xenon. Their stats did not survive leaping. Enhancement capped at twelve:

Legendary extraction was explicitly 150 at stage 1, with later cells blank. Those blanks were not confirmed zero values. Enhancement attempts had these separate chances and costs:

Hyper, Beyond and Item Burning served different characters

Hyper Burning MAX ran June 17–September 8, adding four extra levels per level-up from 10 to 260, or Zero 100–260. New characters and existing level 200–258 characters qualified, with Zero Act 2 required. A selected existing character could not claim levels already reached; deleting and recreating restored creation gifts but not consumed account milestone claims. Challenger and main-world rewards for the same milestone could not both be claimed.

Creation rewards used September 9 at 02:00 UTC expiry for the untradable Mysterious Cryptic Chest, Legendary Cryptic Chest, Eternal Flame Ring Coupon and 15-star Root Abyss Set Box (Time-Restricted). The first chest produced a 30-day untradable Snail pet; the Legendary chest supplied permanent untradable Frozen Hat, Frozen Cape and Frozen Suit, plus seven-day untradable Frozen Weapon Box and Frozen Secondary Weapon Box. Their level 100 weapon outputs were permanent and untradable, with stats determined by job. The ring coupon produced an untradable Eternal Flame Ring; a character already owning that ring could not receive another.

The Root Abyss box opened at level 150 and supplied a hat, top and bottom for 90 days. The Fafnir Weapon Box (Time-Restricted) and its weapon also lasted 90 days. These untradable pieces had 15 stars and three Epic Potential lines, and could not use Transfer Hammer or Scissors. The creation Eternal Flame Title Coupon used the same fixed expiry and produced an untradable Eternal Flame title with sixty-day stats. Zero excluded the Frozen weapon/secondary boxes and Fafnir weapon; at level 220 it could choose only Dominator Pendant.

Level gifts were untradable with September 9 at 02:00 UTC expiry unless the table identifies a different restriction. Direct regional symbols were permanent, with one stated exception: the level 200 Challenger Vanishing Journey symbol used the fixed expiry. Main-world level 250 Arcane Symbol Selector Coupons lasted seven days, while its levels 235/245/255 selectors used the fixed expiry. The permanent Burning Boss Accessory Box contents were untradable. The three event-ring outputs were permanent and untradable; Tenebris and Awake came with their respective seven-day untradable Exclusive Enhancement Scrolls. The AbsoLab/Dominator equipment outputs were permanent and untradable. Miracle Circulator x10 Coupon produced ten untradable thirty-day Miracle Circulators.

The main-world Hyper Burning Outfit Set Coupon contained permanent untradable Hyper Burning Hat, Hyper Burning Outfit and Hyper Burning Weapon. Challenger's differently named Hyper Burning Outfit Coupon instead listed Hyper Burning Hat, Hyper Burning Robe and Hyper Burning Weapon. Their stats lasted thirty days. Abyss Hunter Ring Coupon produced a permanent Abyss Hunter Ring, tradable once within the same account and world. Infinite Flame Title Coupon produced a permanent untradable Infinite Flame title with sixty-day stats.

Symbol stories and “A Divine Power” still gated their respective rewards. Symbol selectors only offered regions whose Arcane River/Grandis stories had been completed. A catalyst-moved unstable symbol had to be stabilized before receiving the pre-enhanced symbol reward.

Beyond Burning separately designated one level 260–268 character, permanently and including Challenger. It added one extra level each time through 270, excluded already passed rewards and used September 8 claim/September 9 at 02:00 UTC item deadlines, except permanent fragments. Levels 261/263 supplied one Sol Erda, 262/264 twenty fragments, 265 level 5 Arcus, 266/268 two Sol Erda, 267/269 thirty fragments. Level 269 also gave permanent Burning Flame Wings. The June 17 correction specified level 5 Odium at 270, plus a permanent title with sixty-day all stats +30, ATT/Magic ATT +30, Boss Damage/Ignore Defense +20%, HP/MP +1,500, EXP +20% and Arcane/Sacred Power +100.

Item Burning Plus continued to November 10 at 23:59 UTC. In this release, the eligibility line required a level 200 character created after the June 17 maintenance, Zero Act 2 and “A Greater Power,” with no other Item Burning designation. One account character received eight Challenger pieces. Zero instead applied weapon benefits to its equipped weapon. Upgrades unequipped the set, and Fusion Anvil/Soul Enchanter removed its effects.

The stage 2 table named armor Bonus Potential twice at different ranks, while Heroic stage 3 and stage 5 called their rank changes “Bonus Stats.” The exact category in those rows was not clearly stated. Practice and higher-difficulty clears counted. Later stages could be completed in advance, but redeemed only after all earlier stages. Weekly crests reset Thursday at 00:00 UTC, paying only the difference for a higher later boss.

Stages 1–4 gave eight keys in total for applying Ignitia to other armor/weapon slots, excluding Challenger and Eternal sets; Zero used NPC handling for Lapis/Lazuli and restoration after a scroll. Set increments were:

Burning Express began July 8 and ended August 4 at 23:59 UTC for level 260/Zero Act 2. One solo 1,000-kill daily check-in advanced account progress, with rewards claimable through August 4 and usable through August 5 at 02:00 UTC. Express Boosters required Sacred Power maps. A 30,000-Maple-Point pass added rewards to the 21-day track:

Rental gear and tutorials covered immediate needs

Arthur's Equipment Rental ran June 17–November 10 for level 200/Zero Act 2, three rentals of each item per character each week. The two-day countdown began on receipt, not first equip. Rented gear could not be discarded or enhanced. The first rental used mesos, later rentals Maple Points; the displayed first Interactive prices were half Heroic except the two rings.

Accessories had 20 stars and Unique Potential with main stat 10/7/7%, Xenon all stats 7/4/4%, or Demon Avenger HP 10/7/7%. Bonus Potential used main stat 6/5%, Xenon all stats 5/3%, or HP 8/6%; the face also had predetermined tier 5 bonus stats. The specific Bonus Potential/HP world qualifiers in the rental listing still applied.

Infinite Red Beryl Ring’s level 4 Continuous effect gave Boss Damage +140% and ATT/Magic ATT +10% for eight seconds, cooldown twelve seconds, with 120-second equip preparation. Finite Red Beryl Ring’s level 4 Restraint effect used a zone for ATT/Magic ATT +80% over fifteen seconds, cooldown 120 and HP cost 600. The two-day rental did not turn either effect into a permanent ring.

Jump-Start appeared at the first event login, with one account choice. “No Thanks” was irreversible; manual cancellation also ended the program, while deleting and recreating the character retained tutorial progress. New Hyper characters used Tera Blink through 200, then lessons covering fifth/sixth job, nodes, symbols, dailies, Burning, Legion/Artifact, guilds, Challenger/Kai, presets/sequences, boss practice, Grandis and dungeons.

Mechaberry Farm admitted level 280–299/Zero Act 2 with an entry pass. It had a 30-minute timer, ignored EXP buffs and allowed reentry before restoration reached 100% while time remained. Spiegelburst was its exclusive attack for gathering more points.

Portrait rewards arrived in short level-based windows

Prolific Portraitist ran July 2–5, once per account from level 270. Its 24-hour windows began at 00:00 UTC: level 285+ July 2, 280–284 July 3, 275–279 July 4 and 270–274 July 5. An earned Portrait Commission Ticket could be claimed later by an eligible account character through the Event List or Michelavinci.

Chroma Essence ran July 9–July 22 at 23:59 UTC. June 22 corrected eligibility to level 101/Zero Act 2. Thirty thousand essence from level-range enemies exchanged for a ticket, up to four quest completions weekly with Thursday 00:00 UTC reset. Unspent essence carried over; the exact quest-completion time determined which week's allowance was consumed.

Genesis and Momentum passes sold distinct progression support

Genesis Pass sales ran June 18–November 2 at 23:59 UTC, use ended November 3 and effects November 10. Purchase required level 255 and unfinished final liberation; use required “[Genesis Weapon] Traces of Von Leon the Lion King” in progress or complete and “[Genesis Weapon] Power Unbound, Stage 2” unfinished. The 30,000-NX pass was untradable with two account purchases. From Lotus onward, pass users at the same mission stage could form up to six players, retaining the usual party penalties of 50% Final Damage, or 60% for Lotus.

Trace of Darkness rewards tripled, including retroactive coupons for the current week/month's prior eligible clear, within a 3,000 cap that discarded excess. The boss buff gave all stats +20, ATT/Magic ATT +20, Boss Damage/Ignore Defense +10%, HP/MP +1,000 and Arcane Power +150. After liberation, the Commander's Soul Box selected a guaranteed ATT/Magic ATT soul for Magnus, Lotus, Damien, Lucid, Will, Darknell or Verus Hilla; box and resulting soul expired November 11 at 23:59 UTC.

Momentum Pass served one fixed level 280 account character. Season one ran July 1–August 4 and season two August 5–September 8. Prime cost 49,800 Maple Points; ten levels required 720 points each, capped at 2,000 weekly with Wednesday reset. Missions paid 100 at each three Grandis dailies through fifteen, 200 at each two Monster Park clears through twelve, 200 for Extreme, 300 for Epic Dungeon and 200 at each 10,000-kill milestone through 100,000. Pre-enrollment activity did not count; catch-up cost 1,000 Maple Points per 100 points.

June 30 corrected hunting milestones 35,000→30,000 and 55,000→50,000, and changed the blanket reward handling from world-tradable to untradable except the Sauna wording. The v.269 Sauna sentence itself called those coupons untradable. Fixed-expiry rewards ended August 5 or September 9 at 02:00 UTC for their respective season.

Luxe Sauna ran June 17–September 8 from level 101 and accepted Burning characters. Shared time decreased only inside the room; logged-out/outside time did not consume it. EXP arrived each five seconds, with level 295+ using the level 294 amount. Time exhaustion removed the character, and an optional target-level auto-exit returned it to Sleepywood or its former location.

One hour cost 3,000 Maple Points, or two half-hour coupons. Charging could not exceed the remaining event duration and capped at 48 hours weekly with Wednesday 00:00 UTC reset. Unused time ended with the event. Cumulative charged time, permanently recorded, unlocked the Sink at 30 hours, Bathtub at 100, Foot Bath at 200 and Cafe at 500, each once per account.

Miracle Time and the Sunday calendar

Miracle Time doubled eligible rank-up chances using Glowing, Bright, Bonus Glowing, Bonus Bright or Violet Cubes. Reaching Legendary granted the map's Double Miracle Time Blessing atmospheric effect. All windows ran 00:00–23:59 UTC: June 26 emblems/hearts/rings/accessories; June 27 weapons/secondaries/shields; June 28 tops/bottoms/outfits/capes; June 29 hats; June 30 gloves; July 1 shoes.

Sunday rewards required level 101/Zero Act 2. Star Force discounts excluded Superior equipment and safeguard surcharges, and Monster Park clear bonuses excluded Extreme.
