Get ready to ring in 2018! Count down to the New Year, and then celebrate with a special limited-time shop and a Hot Day!

New Year’s Countdown

PST: Saturday, December 30, 2017 4:00 PM – Sunday, December 31, 2017 3:59 PM

Characters Lv. 33 and above can begin the event by accepting the quest '[Countdown] Together, Good-bye' from the event notifier on the left side of the screen, or by talking to NPC Cassandra. You’ll travel to the Good-bye Hill map where a countdown board ticks away the hours until the New Year! Relax and spend some with other Maplers while you wait for 2018 to arrive!

Once the countdown completes, a Special Shop will become available for only one hour at the following times:

• PST: Sunday, December 31, 2017 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM

• AEDT: Monday, January 1, 2018 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

The shop sells some limited-quantity items available for mesos, so get the goodies before someone else does. Pick up some trait items, restorative items, Explorer Random Face or Hair Coupons, a New Year's 3x EXP Coupon, a Happy New Year! Buff (gives Weapon ATT/Magic ATT +30 for 15 minutes), or a Happy New Year mount (permanent and 90-day versions available)!

So... the store sold the usual +30 trait items, with limited quantity of course. Nexon, however, Nexon-ed, because they allowed people to buy multiple quantities of the same thing i.e. someone could buy 99 premium cologne multiple times, effectively 1 person with enough money and Use space could wipe out the store.

Anyway, I'm still around, lurking usually. I'm here to help as always.

Well looks like other sources have confirmed something that I've encountered as well. Did a bit of waiting to see if it would be encountered on the official forums and on reddit.

Explorer Face/Hair coupons are bugged this year. Then again, not bloody surprised either.

I seem to recall them being bugged in some way last year as well.

I wasn't even able to buy anything even as I entered at the very first few seconds of the shop opening. It's as if the purchase limits didn't get reset since last year

[hadriel]

By the way, was I awfully blind and didn't see the Arcane Symbols in the Nova shop until now? Or were they meant to come out on Wed/Thur? Regardless, get them NOW before the shop refreshes those limits.

They've been there since season 2 of the shop started, December 20th.

Me too, i thought it could be some change to these, but i went in my blaster who wasn't created at the time and i couldn't, so i guess all or most itens weren't limited by your character, but a limited amount to everyone.

Couldn't get x3 cupons, what was nexon thinking?
