MapleStory Unveils New Epic Dungeon and Personal Burning Event

On September 17, Nexon applied the first fall update to its online game MapleStory, introducing new content such as the 'Aurum Regis' dungeon and the 'Personal Burning' event.

The new Epic Dungeon 'Aurum Regis' is content available for characters Level 290 and above, consisting of five stages in total. The core gameplay involves using the special skill 'Erda Magnum' to control projectiles to destroy objects or strike boss monsters' weak points. Upon completion, players can earn EXP, Sol Erda, High-Concentrated Sol Erda Energy, and Sol Erda Fragments.

The new Burning event, 'Personal Burning,' will run through November 18. Characters Level 260 and above can participate, receiving a total of 30 customized growth missions tailored to their level and EXP at the start of the event. Completing goals at each stage awards EXP and 'Personal Coins.' The update also features 'Personal Boss Missions,' where players defeat weekly boss monsters, and reward exchange content utilizing the special monster 'Personal Flame.'

During the same period, the fall season event 'Visitors of the Argo' will take place, revealing the past stories of Gerand Darmoor's eight Apostles. The event introduces the attendance check event 'Protect Argo,' 'Ascendant Link'—where players can obtain and enhance the new Level 130 ring 'Ascendant Pulse Ring'—and 'Blessing of the Argo,' which boosts character stats and content participation rewards.

Through December 16, Nexon is granting one 'Hyper Burning Booster' per Maple ID to assist fast character growth up to Level 260. From October 1 to October 14, a Hangul Day mini-game titled 'Gather Hangul' will be available, where players arrange pieces shaped like Korean consonants and vowels.

The skill system has also been revamped. Double jumps and rush skills can now be linked while using other skills, reducing discrepancies in evasive mobility across classes. Adjustments to skill effects that affect party members' damage, revamps to installation-type skills, redistribution of skill damage, and overhauls to class combat structures have also been implemented.

The 'Catch! Teenieping' collaboration will run until October 21. It introduces collaboration cosmetic items along with three new Luna Petite pets: 'Petite Princess Heartsping,' 'Petite Eclipsping,' and 'Petite Dianaping.'

Offline, an escape room cafe based on the MapleStory IP, 'MAPLESTORY ESCAPE,' will officially open on September 21. An advance reservation period, time-trial competition, and street events will run through September 27, followed by a creator event, 'MAPLE ESCAPE DAY,' taking place from October 9 to October 11.
