• Experience three Cygnus Knights like never before in the Cygnus Awakening update! Thunder Breakers, Wind Archers, and Dawn Warriors have awakened their true power with new skills and a higher level cap, and new dungeons, quests, and events are popping up all over Maple World!
  
  
  
  Cygnus Knights Awakened
  
  All Cygnus Knights have a new look, but Dawn Warriors, Wind Archers, and Thunder Breakers have a new style too. All three Knights have had their level cap raised from 120 to 250, and they've learned loads of powerful new skills, including a new link skill!
  
  User Interface Update
  
  Check out fresh new additions to the UI, which now includes widescreen resolution support (1366 x 768)! An option to simplify tooltips has been added, and link skill management has been streamlined. In addition to all the UI updates, Henesys has been renovated with new background, buildings, NPC art updates, and more!
  
  New Chat System
  
  The new version of the chat system allows players to chat and use new animated emoticons and social features with up to five friends or random players. Players can "Like" other characters, and those with the most "Likes" will be featured as the Weekly Maple Star on the chat menu!
  
  New Dungeons
  
  Enjoy three new theme dungeons: Ellinel Fairy Academy (Lv.30+), Riena Strait (Lv.50+), and a new section of Crimsonwood Keep (Lv.130+)! Monster Park Extreme returns for Lv.70 - 140, and Monster Park has been revamped with six new zones and updates to older ones; Monster Park will also now be available for all levels from Lv.60+.
  
  Revamped Party Quests
  
  Take part in the new Crimsonwood Altar party quest (Lv.130 - 200) located in the Crimsonwood Keep theme dungeon and defeat five Twisted Masters! Some existing party quests also have a lower level requirement, better reward stats, and a higher EXP bonus. Party quest entry has been streamlined, with most entry NPCs now in one map.
  
  New Events
  
  Enjoy lots of new and returning events, including a Mabinogi crossover event featuring the famous Nao and a gift box giveaway! There's also Maple Special Week (an attendance event that also has 1.5x EXP for most party quests and 2x drop rate for certain bosses), Spiegelmann's Artifact Hunt (hunt monsters and collect Mysterious Artifacts), and the Picnic Basket event (fill your picnic basket to get special rewards)!

Please tell me that isn't the anticipated Masteria update.

[PirateIzzy]

So, we're getting the Crimsonwood theme dungeon after all. And keeping the old one, apparently. Not bad, Nexon. Not bad.

[Marksman Bryan]

Wow, looks like some pretty cool events.
Is that CWKPQ dungeon new or has another version had that?

Revamped Party Quests

Take part in the new Crimsonwood Altar party quest (Lv.130 - 200) located in the Crimsonwood Keep theme dungeon and defeat five Twisted Masters!

Oh God I really hope they're not doing what I think they're doing.

Please tell me that isn't the anticipated Masteria update.

If it actually is, your avatar is a perfect response to this.

[Arrol]

I'm already losing hope on the whole Masteria party quest. It looks like they did nothing to it at all.

[Jettono]

Events are pretty standard, but the Crossover event sounds interesting...

[Pink Bean]

i'm glad they went with awakening instead of returns because she's always been there

sitting
sleeping etc

RRRRRRRRRRRRRR CANNOT CONTAIN HAPPY OH M YGOD



>masteria
hahahaa.. pineapple

[TugboatWilly]

Is this another attendance event I see?

[Nion]

Well uhm, I guess since CWKPQ is 130, it should be nearly the same as the other one in kMS right?

[Evolite]

(Lv 130 - 200)

SCREW YOU LV201+ PEOPLE!!!!!!!!

[ChosenFruit]

=O Sweet! So we are getting the level 130+ Masteria Theme Dungeon! I was afraid that we wouldn't =S

We're also getting the new lvl 30 and 50 Theme Dungeons =o nifty!

Very happy to see Monster Park cover 60+ instead of just 60-94 and 135+ now <3
And now MPE's back but for 70-140? =o interesting, didn't know the level had been changed when it returned.

EDIT: Oh, the PQ update too? =3 A reason to start PQing again~
EDIT2: Link Skill management <3 Very nice =3

[PirateIzzy]

We're also getting the new lvl 30 and 50 Theme Dungeons =o nifty!

To be honest, I'd rather have them in a different level range, considering there are existing theme dungeons for those levels.

[Christian]

Masteria y u no evolve?

Still excited for the Cygnus updates...

[ChosenFruit]

To be honest, I'd rather have them in a different level range, considering there are existing theme dungeons for those levels.

Yeah, that's true O.o I don't know what caused them to make Theme Dungeons that overlap existing ones...still looking forward to trying them out =3

[Viener]

SXIABDIAHH more attendance events.

I hope that there's no 12 Link cap, but that probably won't change.

Now the TB revamp... I kind of find it funny how the TB completely missed the mob in one of the SSs though.

Oh yeah, does anyone know how good MPE is exp-wise? I heard it was badly nerfed.

[LoveVictim]

More attendance...... I hope new scrolls come with this attendance event... MEE or 90% scrolls..

MEE's won't come to GMS or any other version. It was a 'mistake'. Don't get your hopes up for it.
