It’s the summer of MapleStory! We’re busy preparing for our huge content update featuring new character Ark, Esfera, Grand Athenaeum: Episode 5, system changes, and more.

For each location, up to 10 lucky winners will receive free P1 tickets and up to 40 lucky fans will receive free P5 tickets! The P1 ticket includes a HiTouch event where you can meet and high five with the members of GOT7 at the concert.

In order to be selected, you need to start a new character in MapleStory, reach a certain level, and fill out the entry form!

• You must reach Lv. 33 or above on a new character created after May 18 at 11:00 AM (PDT) to be eligible for a P5 ticket.

• You must fill out the entry form by June 10 at 11:59 PM (PDT) to be eligible to receive tickets for each city. We will review the applications and select each winner based on his or her in-game level and responses.

Spring is here, which means it’s a great time to do some gardening! On Halflinger Farms, this means planting Golden Trees.

Players Lv. 33 and above can begin by accepting the quest ‘[Growing Gold] Complete the Farm’ to start the tutorial. After learning the basics from the Halflingers, you’re ready to grow your own plants! Plant seeds in pots and give them dew to help them grow. Hunt monsters within your level range (20 levels below and 20 levels above) to acquire dew. Water your plant well so that it grows big and strong.



Once your plant is fully grown, it’s ready to harvest. Harvesting plants rewards you with Research Coins and Golden Leaves.

Collect Golden Leaves from your harvest and give them to the Golden Tree. There are 5 stages of tree growth, each one requiring more Golden Leaves to complete. Watch as the trees turn a beautiful shade of gold, signaling it’s time for harvesting!



When the tree is completely gold, you can receive the Golden Tree Chair. You’ll earn additional rewards at each stage of the Golden Tree’s growth. These rewards can be earned once per world.



As you progress, you’ll obtain Research Points. Visit the shop to exchange your points for rewards including restorative items, Spell Traces, Epic Potential Scroll 100%, Gold Potential Stamp, Nodestones, and more.
