Please avoid altering your computer time when participating in this event. Any changes to your computer time clock can cause issues when creating or deleting Burning characters for this event.

Create a brand-new character during the event period and select it to have the special "Burning" effect. This event is open to characters in all worlds, as well as Burning World, except for Zero characters.

After your character reaches Lv. 10, every time that character levels up it will gain an additional two levels all the way up to Lv. 250! You also have the option to designate one of your existing Lv. 200-248 characters as 'Hyper Burning' instead, allowing them to gain that benefit!


In addition to all this, you'll also earn amazing rewards along the way, including Root Abyss and Fafnir gear! When you reach Lv. 200 on your ‘Burning’ character, don’t stop there but keep on training! You will receive additional rewards on your ‘Hyper Burning’ character at Lv. 200, Lv. 210, and every 5 levels after Lv. 210, up to Lv. 250!



Event Details:
  • Reach level 250 fast on a new or existing character with the Hyper Burning event!
  • Requirements: Either:
    • A newly created character made during the event period (Zero characters cannot participate in this manner.)
    • A Lv. 200 - 248 character (Zero characters must be both within that range and have completed Story Quest Act 2)
  • After creating a new character, you will be given an option to give it a ‘Hyper Burning’ effect.
  • You cannot go back to give it a ‘Burning’ effect after refusing to do so during character creation.
  • You can only 'Hyper Burn' 1 character per account during the event.
    • Note: Our Beast Tamer Creation Event is coming up in our v.238 update! If you would like to give a 'Hyper Burning' effect on a new Beast Tamer character, we recommend waiting for our v.238 update.
  • After your ‘Hyper Burning’ character reaches Lv. 10, they will start to earn two additional levels each time your character gains a level up to Lv. 250.
  • You will receive special Hyper Burning Rewards when your ‘Burning’ character meets the listed level milestones.
  • Alternatively, you may elect to set one of your existing Lv. 200 - 248 characters as 'Hyper Burning', by selecting it on character select screen and clicking on 'Set as Hyper Burning'.
    • Doing so will prevent you from designating a newly-created character as 'Hyper Burning'.
    • You will still be able to create 'Mega Burning' characters on Burning World.
  • There’s more rewards waiting for you past Lv. 200! Once your ‘Burning’ character reaches Lv. 200 (or you designate an existing character as Burning), you can obtain Bonus Rewards up until Lv. 250.

Burning World Leap
  • Wednesday, February 8, 2023 (End of Maintenance) - Thursday, February 23, 2023 (Start of Maintenance)


As the saying goes, the light that burns twice as bright burns half as long, and the Burning World will burn very brightly indeed. However, while this new world will be consumed at the end of it all, a new life awaits your characters in the other worlds of MapleStory!

Lv. 150+ characters in Burning World will be allowed to leap to another world of your choosing during the World Leap period, taking their equipped items, inventory, and mesos with them to join their new communities. When this period begins, all Burning World characters will be moved to the Burning Leap Zone map, where they will be able to speak to the NPC Mover to complete their exodus.
  • Characters in Burning World must be at least Lv. 150 in order to World Leap, whether they were Mega Burning characters or not.
    • Zero characters must be both Lv. 150+ and having completed Story Quest Act 2.
    • It will not be possible to leave the Burning Leap Zone map during this period, making it impossible to gain any more EXP. Make sure you're Lv. 150 before the February 8 maintenance!
  • You do not need an empty character slot on the destination world for your new character (you will be granted a free Character Slot if you are at your unlocked limit on that world), however if you have reached the maximum character limit on that world, you will need to delete a character in order to make room for them.
  • Characters can be transferred to Aurora, Bera, Elysium, Luna, and Scania worlds only.
  • Characters in Guilds will not be able to World Leap until they have either left or disbanded their Guild.
  • Your character's equipped items, inventory, and mesos will be transferred with your character, but items within your Storage, Cash Shop Inventory, mail, and auction house will not be. Make sure you clear everything out before taking the big leap!
  • You may send your Burning World characters all to the same world, or to different worlds.
  • Medals obtained from regularly-resetting rankings will not be transferred, and your rankings in those pieces of content will also not be transferred.
  • Ignition Coin Shop and Flare Coin Shop item quantity limits will follow the limit of the world that the character leaps to.
  • Ignition Coins will be transferred with the World Leap, but Flare Coins will not be transferred so remember to use all your Flare Coins before the start of the World Leap period!
  • Remember to claim all the Ignition Flame Festival rewards through the Flame Festival UI before leaping if you participated in the event on Burning World.

Hi Maplers, 

We’d like to provide a status update regarding Wild Totems, which many of you have been curious about since our adjustments to Kanna’s Kishin Shoukan skill. As previously mentioned in the Maple Memo: Addressing Recent Issues and Upcoming Content, we made adjustments to the Kishin Shoukan skill to align with the overall direction of the game by changing the spawn-enhancing effect from the skill to a 10% additional EXP effect. In the same update as the Kishin Shoukan skill changes, Star Force enhancement costs were reduced by 20% in cumulative enhancement cost (based on the 24-Star enhancement); as we understood that spawn-enhancing effects had a large role in meso acquisition, and we hoped to alleviate the difficulty of the transition by reducing the cost in the area where most mesos are spent by players.

In alignment with the changes to Kishin Shoukan’s skill effect, Wild Totems will be discontinued in the next upcoming update. As we’ve done when Kishin Shoukan skill was changed to no longer provide spawn-enhancing effects, we will further reduce Star Force enhancement costs by an additional 20% when discontinuing Wild Totems. There will also be some changes made to the Fairy Bros Daily Gifts rewards to reflect the discontinuation of Wild Totems. The below changes to Fairy Bros Daily Gifts rewards will be reflected starting November 1, 2022.
  • Day 8 will now provide Mega Burninator x1
  • Day 10 and Day 19 will now provide 2x EXP Coupon (30 min) x2
The discontinuation of Wild Totems is currently scheduled to be implemented with our November update, tentatively scheduled for November 16, 2022. Wild Totems that are already in players’ inventory prior to the November update will remain usable with their current functionality until the item expires. Any Wild Totem coupons without an expiration date will be usable until December 31, 2022

Thank you,  

The MapleStory Team
