Join an expedition to discover a previously unknown part of Maple World! The Halflingers have discovered beautiful Spring Valley—an area rich in diverse plant life. They could use a field assistant to gather interesting plant specimens! Players Lv. 33 and above can accept the introductory quest and access the Spring Valley Base Camp from the star event notifier on the left side of the screen.

Once you arrive, you’ll become an integral part of the Halflinger Expedition. Meet Old Claw, who would like you to look for new specimens, and gives you a Catalog of Specimens to complete. Explore different parts of the beautiful valley searching for new flora.

Each specimen you find also gives you research points. *You’ll receive more research points if you find a rare specimen! You can also complete daily quests to earn research points. You can only earn 5,000 Research Points per world each day. This restriction resets at midnight (12:00 AM Pacific) each day.
Take your research points to Captain Wangpang's store to exchange them for some specialty goods including restorative items, potential scrolls and stamps, an Exceptional Botanist title, and more.
- Exceptional Botanist: Untradeable. Title. STR/DEX/LUK/INT: +2, MaxMP: +1,000, Weapon ATT/Magic ATT: +2.

In addition to new flora, there is new fauna to discover as well! Three times a day, you can enter special hunting maps. You get 20 minutes to hunt the various monsters that appear there, earning lots of EXP and completing daily quests!

Keep an eye out as you explore, for there are secret elements and fun “easter eggs” hidden all over! Look for hidden locations, try dropping specific items in front of certain plants, and observe monsters closely to see if they’re carrying any interesting items.
