Kazax has returned with his retinue of powerful bosses with the newest Ride or Die event! Challenge the bosses every week with a variety of handicaps, with the aid of Althea herself, to earn special prizes including the new Libae's Ring Box!

[B]Table of Contents[/B]
Ride or Die

Event Duration
  • PST (UTC -8): Wednesday, December 17, 2025 (After Maintenance) - Tuesday, February 3, 2026 3:59 PM
  • CET (UTC +1): Wednesday, December 17, 2025 (After Maintenance) - Wednesday, February 4, 2026 12:59 AM
  • AEDT (UTC +11): Wednesday, December 17, 2025 (After Maintenance) - Wednesday, February 4, 2026 10:59 AM
Requirements
  • Lv. 200 and above (Zero characters that completed Story Quest Act 2).
Althea has returned and calls upon you to investigate the schemes of the infamous villain Kazax.

Quick Overview
  • Take on up to 5 bosses each week by choosing your difficulty level and setting challenges.
  • The higher the difficulty and number of challenges, the greater the rewards will be and a higher final score you'll receive!
How to Participate
  • Select ‘Ride or Die’ from the Event List and click ‘Participate’ to start the Ride or Die event.
  • Upon accepting the quest, you’ll be teleported to the event map, where you’ll meet Libae, a new inspector who urgently needs your help to save Maple World!
Setting Boss Difficulty and Challenges
  • Face off against up to 5 bosses per week by choosing your difficulty and how many challenges you want to take on. The 5 bosses you can challenge are:
    • Papulatus
    • Vellum
    • Horntail
    • Darknell
    • Magnus
  • There are four difficulties to choose from:
    • Code B: Easy
    • Code A: Normal
    • Code S: Hard
    • Code X: Extreme
      • Code X Requirements: Only your weapon, secondary weapon, and emblem can be equipped for this challenge. Swapping equipment will be disabled during battle.
      • Test your strength and limits in Code X to earn the highest reward box and a large number of Kazax fragments! With different bosses and fewer challenges this time, Code X is the perfect chance to push for a high score.

  • Ready for a challenge? You can set up to 15 challenges and one will be randomly assigned to you during each run. The following challenges are available:
[Image: rodchallenges.png]
  • You have a total of 20 lives shared across all 5 bosses per week. If you lose them all, you’re done for the week!
    • Use Practice Mode to familiarize yourself with the bosses! Speak with Libae to adjust the difficulty level and challenges as needed.
      • Practice Mode is unavailable for Code X difficulty.
  • An Investigation Result summary will appear when you successfully defeat a boss, showing your current Investigation Score and Weekly Score. Scores are calculated based on:
    • Chosen difficulty
    • Number of challenges set
    • Death count

Kazax’s Interference and Althea's Support
  • Kaxaz isn’t going to fight fair, so stay sharp! He’ll appear alongside bosses and randomly uses skills that interfere with your fight.
  • Althea is here to support you during fights! Once inside the boss map, you’ll receive Althea’s Support, a special skill that charges support up to Lv. 3 as you fight.
    • Charge the skill by collecting support! The more support you receive, the more powerful Althea’s Support skill effect will be!
[Image: charges.png?rmode=max&width=599&height=272]
  • The amount of support required to charge each level is 150.
    • For every 15 support gained, one skill gauge slot fills.
    • Receive a small amount of support at regular intervals.
    • Receive a great amount of support when your character touches a summoned object.
      • The object spawns at a random location every 30 seconds and disappears after a certain amount of time.
[Image: rodobject.png]
  • Once the gauge is full, press the Interact key to activate one of Althea’s support skills at random. These help clear summoned enemies and disrupt Kazax’s interference.
  • Right-click the skill icon to toggle between automatic or manual activation.
Weekly Total Score Rewards
  • Each week, your final score will determine which Inspector's Supply Box and how many Kazax's Energy Fragments you'll receive.
[Image: weeklytotalscore.png]
  • There are six Inspector Supply Boxes with different levels that can be obtained. Score higher to receive higher-level boxes.
    • You can only claim 1 box a week per account.
