1. Summer Showcase Pre-registration Rewards
Summer Showcase scheduled for June 7, 2025
MapleStory is currently giving out showcase pre-registration rewards
You can get rewards by attending the 'Summer Countdown' in the in-game event window
Rich rewards such as Black Cube, White Additional Cube, Event Ring, and Legendary Potential Scroll are provided
You can get all rewards if you attend by June 18
Refer to the pinned comment for a guide on how to use the rewards
2. How to Choose a Server
Servers are largely classified into city servers, mid-sized city servers, and rural servers
- City Servers (Scania, Luna, Elysium, Croa): Many users and abundant item sales, fierce hunting ground competition
- Mid-sized City Servers (Vera, Aurora): Between city servers and rural servers
- Rural Servers (Union, Inosis, Zenith, Red, Arcane, Nova): Small population and few item sales, but high burning effect
You can purchase items through the integrated auction house, but a 10% fee applies
Metropolitan servers are advantageous in terms of item sales
Eos and Helios do not have integrated auction houses, low meso prices, and high item prices
We recommend a server with many people and many item sales
3. Challenger's World
Support for buffs and items for fast training, Legendary Potential Scroll, Level 200 Achievement Elixir, etc. are provided upon completion of missions
Upgraded version of Burning Server, can be transferred to the main server after the period ends
Newbie users are strongly recommended to start training in Challenger's World
Likely to open from June 19
You can purchase 17-Star Scroll, Black Rebirth Flame, Suspicious Cube, etc. from the Challenger's Coin Shop
Existing users can also use Challenger's World when training sub-characters
4. Union/Link Training
We recommend training Union/Link while waiting for Challenger's World
Need to train 40 level 200 characters to achieve Union 8000
Possible up to 4000 with Challenger's World rewards, insufficient for essential link training
Recommended Link Union Characters: Aran, Mercedes, Evan, Eunwol, Demon Avenger
- Aran, Mercedes, Evan: EXP Link
- Eunwol, Demon Avenger: Crit DMG, Damage Link and powerful Union effect
5. Choosing Your Main Character Class
We recommend choosing a class with a concept that you like
Refer to the pinned comment for a video summarizing the pros and cons of each class
Performance-oriented: Illium recommended (2nd in DPM, fast boss clear speed, easy damage structure, good utility, good hunting)
It is difficult to recommend a class without worrying about nerfs, choose a class that you find attractive
We will provide a new recommendation video when the class balance changes in the future
