Exploring Maple World is a blast when you have an adorable puppy pal by your side! In the Infinite Pawsibilities event, you can complete special missions to receive decorations for your Custom Puppy, and earn rewards along the way! Players Lv. 33 and above can begin by selecting the Infinite Pawsibilities notifier from the left side of the screen and accepting the quest ‘[Event] Explore the Infinite Pawsibilities’.



Custom Puppy

Everyone will receive a Summon Custom Puppy item which can be used to summon your Custom Puppy to appear by your side. Originally, your puppy has a very basic look. As you complete missions, you’ll be able to use the UI to build up the Courage, Curiosity, and Stamina of your Custom Puppy. This unlocks new options to decorate your Custom Puppy, allowing you to change the face style, fur pattern, and accessories to create a puppy that’s unique.



Daily Missions

Complete daily missions that focus on one element of your gameplay. Build up your Courage by hunting down specific bosses including Zakum, Horntail, Magnus, and more. Work on your Curiosity by completing areas such as Monster Park or Nett’s Pyramid. Steel up your Stamina by hunting monsters within your level range (20 levels below and 20 levels above).

When you complete a mission, you receive a reward box!

While you’re working on your abilities, you may as well enjoy a healthy smoothie too. Accept the quest ‘[Event] Drink Groovy Smoothie’ and hold onto the Groovy Smoothie item for 30 minutes. When you complete the quest, you can receive another balance box. This can be completed one per day per world.

Do you have what it takes to raise the biggest and baddest bug around? Prepare for Bug Brawl, where insects prove their worth in a bug-eat-bug world!

Players Lv. 33 and up can participate by accepting the quest '[Bug Brawl] Here's Your Bug' from the star event notifier on the left side of the screen, or speaking to NPC Doctor Ong to receive a starter companion bug. Once you've received the bug, you can click on its Photo Album to view its feeding and care requirements, base power, current level, and what it can evolve into. During the event, monsters within your level range (20 levels below and 20 levels above) have a chance to drop different bugs. Some of these smaller insects make for great bug feed, and if you collect them, your companion bug will grow stronger and grant you bonus EXP! But be warned - monsters may also drop bigger bugs that are natural enemies to your companion, and if you or a pet picks up an insect that is the same evolution or higher than your bug, it will lose EXP. Double-check to make sure you don't have a pet automatically picking up dangerous loot!

You can also summon your companion bug by double-clicking it to receive a small stat boost. Look out for the Praying Mantis, as only the strongest bugs will be able to defeat it!



Once your companion bug reaches a certain level, you can evolve it into a more powerful bug! To evolve your companion bug, first open the Photo Album that you obtained when you received your bug. Inside the Photo Album, you’ll be able to select which bug you’d like to evolve your companion bug into. There are multiple evolutionary paths you can take, each granting their own rewards. If you’d like to reset your bug to an Ant, accept the quest '[Bug Brawl] Debugging' and Doctor Ong will then replace your current bug with an Ant.



Each bug gives the following stat boosts:

• Ladybug: Grants Weapon ATT/Magic ATT +1
  
• Ant: Grants Weapon ATT/Magic ATT +2
  
• Bee: Grants Weapon ATT/Magic ATT +3
  
• Dragonfly: Grants Weapon ATT/Magic ATT +4
  
• Beetle: Grants Weapon ATT/Magic ATT +5
  
• Cricket: Grants Weapon ATT/Magic ATT +6
  
• Grasshopper: Grants Weapon ATT/Magic ATT +7
  
• Stag Beetle: Grants Weapon ATT/Magic ATT +8
  
• Fire Ant: Grants Weapon ATT/Magic ATT +4
  
• Army Ant: Grants Weapon ATT/Magic ATT +5
  
• Bullet Ant: Grant Weapon ATT/Magic ATT +6
  
• Wasp: Grants Weapon ATT/Magic ATT +5
  
• Giant Hornet: Grants Weapon ATT/Magic ATT +6
  
• Rhinoceros Beetle: Grants Weapon ATT/Magic ATT +7
  
• Elephant Beetle: Grants Weapon ATT/Magic ATT +8

• Field Cricket: Grants Weapon ATT/Magic ATT +8
  
• Giant Cricket: Grants Weapon ATT/Magic ATT +9
  
• Titan Beetle: Grants Weapon ATT/Magic ATT +10

If you level up your bug all the way to the powerful Titan Beetle or Hercules Beetle level, you'll earn exclusive rewards!

• Bug Master: Title. Obtained when completing '[Bug Brawl] King of the Bugs'. Grants Weapon ATT/Magic ATT +30, STR/DEX/INT/LUK +60, MaxHP/MaxMP +3000, Boss Damage +30%, Ignore Defense +30%. Stats have 14-day duration.
  
• Baddest Bug: Medal. Obtained when completing '[Bug Brawl] Baddest Bug'. Grants Weapon ATT/Magic ATT +10, STR/DEX/INT/LUK +10, MaxHP/MaxMP +450, Boss Damage +10%, Ignore Defense +10%. Stats have 14-day duration. Note: Does not register in Medal Collection.

Turn your little insect pal into a vicious predator, and earn great rewards and stat boosts along the way! The Bug Brawl has begun!
