It's time for the first update of
Project New Leaf! Over the next few months as we build towards our next expansion, we're going to be unleashing a series of updates and improvements to MapleStory 2. With the feedback we've received, we're deploying the first set of changes, including a series of Quality of Life changes, a new item to help with gear and meso acquisition and a major change that many of you have been asking for...
Adventure Dungeon Fairfight
It's time to say farewell to Fairfight in all Adventure Dungeons! Maplers fighting their way through Normal and Hard Adventure Dungeons will now strike with their full power and deal full damage. Please note that with this change, the EXP earned from clearing Adventure Dungeons beyond daily and weekly cap has been reduced to 10\%.*
Fairfight will remain active within Fortress Rumbles, as those are meant to remain challenging content regardless of equipped gear. Additionally, while players battling World Bosses will still be affected by Fairfight,
the health of all World Bosses has been reduced by 60\%. This will make them much quicker for smaller groups to down, without allowing high-level players to kill World Bosses in low-level zones in a matter of seconds.
Trader's Ribbons
We're also adding Trader's Ribbons to MapleStory 2 to make Lv. 50 Epic and Legendary equipment tradeable to other players and sellable on the Black Market. Available only via Weekly Rank Rewards for some Chaos Raids and Fortress Rumbles, these new items will help players that get powerful but redundant gear ready their friends for the top-tier content (and make a few mesos on the side)!
Where to get Trader's Ribbons:
- Chaos Raids:
- Weekly Rank Rewards for the following Chaos Raids:
- Hard Shadow Altar
- Hard Moonlight Fortress
- Ludibrium Clock Tower
- Wrath of Infernog
- Rank A: 14x Lv. 50 Trader's Ribbons
- Fortress Rumbles
- Weekly Rank Rewards for all Fortress Rumbles:
- Rank A: 8x Lv. 50 Trader's Ribbons
Trader's Ribbons are character-bound, and the amount of Trader's Ribbons you will need to enable trading for Lv. 50 Epic or Legendary gears differs per grade and per gear type:
- Lv. 50 Epic
- Weapons
- Two-Handed: 48 Trader's Ribbons
- One-Handed: 24 Trader's Ribbons
- Top/Bottom/Headgear/Gloves/Shoes: 24 Trader's Ribbons
- Accessories: 15 Trader's Ribbons
