Check out the Update Preview for v.265 - Every Little Thing Every Precious Thing 2nd Update!

https://www.nexon.com/maplestory/news/update/33827

The v.265 update delivers a large variety of new content, highlighted by the introduction of the powerful Ascent Skills, the challenging new boss, The First Adversary, and the Mystic Frontier! Rewards are available through a mix of events, including the return of Ride or Die, the new Twenteena’s Adventure Day and the ongoing Twilight Eve Events. Additionally, get ready for the winter season with the festive Maplemas holiday content!

The all-new 6th Job Ascent Skill is arriving for various jobs with the v.265 update! These skills can be used up to three times in boss battles without a cooldown. Upon use, it grants a brief period of invincibility, allowing you to choose between launching powerful attacks or defending against dangerous situations!

This round of Ascent skill updates do not include classes requiring additional development work, specifically Kanna, Hayato, Lynn, Mo Xuan, and Sia Astelle. We plan to update the Ascent skills for these classes in the February 4th, 2026 patch. We ask for your understanding that this will take a little more time. Thank you for your patience.

The new boss, the First Adversary, can be challenged by Lv. 270+ characters that completed the Odium story quest! Pass the test of the First Adversary to inherit a brilliant legacy. The warrior who is qualified to hold the World Heart can challenge to obtain the new medal Immortal Legacy and clear event rewards. Using multiple weapons with similar attack styles to classes like Warrior, Magician, and Bowman, you’ll need to keep your guard up against parrying attacks and environmental threats!

Challenge The First Adversary and earn big rewards through the Undying Purpose event!
