Attention Maplers,

As noted in the Q1 2023 Roadmap post, MapleStory will be retiring the current set of Cubes with our February update, currently scheduled for February 8, 2023, and releasing a new slate of Cubes, utilizing a new Cube Fragment system, and allowing some Cubes to have a chance for double rank-ups.

The following existing cubes will be discontinued starting February 8, 2023:
  • Occult Cubes
  • Bonus Occult Cubes
  • Master Craftsman’s Cubes
  • Meister’s Cubes
  • Red Cubes
  • Black Cubes
  • Bonus Potential Cubes
  • White Cubes
  • Karma Meister’s Cubes
  • Karma Master Craftsman’s Cubes
  • Karma Bonus Occult Cubes
The following new cubes will be released on February 8, 2023:
  • Mystical Cubes: Obtained in-game. Can be used on Rare to Epic items.
  • Bonus Mystical Cubes: Obtained in-game. Can be used on items up to Rare tier.
  • Hard Cubes: Obtained in-game. Can be used on Rare to Unique items. There is a chance of double rank up if used on Rare items.
  • Solid Cubes: Obtained in-game. Can be used on Rare to Legendary items. There is a chance of double rank up if used on Rare items.
  • Glowing Cubes: Can be purchased from Cash Shop. Can be used on Rare to Legendary items, with a chance for a double rank-up.
  • Bright Cubes: Can be purchased from Cash Shop. Can be used on Rare to Legendary items, with a chance for double rank-up and the option to choose before or after Potential lines.
  • Bonus Glowing Cubes: Can be purchased from Cash Shop. Can be used on Rare to Legendary items, with a chance for double rank-up.
  • Bonus Bright Cubes: Can be purchased from Cash Shop event sales. Can be used on Rare to Legendary items, with a chance for double rank-up and the option to choose before or after Potential lines.
  • Karma Solid Cubes: Obtained through in-game events. Can be used on Rare to Legendary untradeable items.
  • Karma Hard Cubes: Obtained through in-game events. Can be used on Rare to Unique untradeable items.
  • Karma Bonus Mysterious Glowing Cubes: Obtained in-game. Can be used on Rare untradeable items.
There will also be adjustments to how the Cube Fragment system works. The new Cubes will give new Cube Fragments when used, and these Fragments can be exchanged for a variety of items listed below:
  • Advanced Potential Scroll: 5 Cube Fragments
  • Special Potential Scroll: 10 Cube Fragments
  • Bonus Potential Scroll 70%: 15 Cube Fragments
  • Perfect Potential Stamp: 30 Cube Fragments
  • Perfect Bonus Potential Stamp: 50 Cube Fragments
  • Special Bonus Potential Stamp: 100 Cube Fragments
  • Epic Potential Scroll 80%: 100 Cube Fragments
Existing Cube Fragments – including Red Cube Fragments, Black Cube Fragments, Bonus Potential Cube Fragments, and White Cube Fragments – that are obtained prior to the February 8, 2023 update will be usable until March 22, 2023.

During the February patch, any existing unused Cubes that remain in players’ inventory will be replaced with the corresponding new Cubes, on a 1:1 basis. In addition, during the December update, currently scheduled for December 14, 2022, the permanent duration Red Cubes and Black Cubes that can be purchased in Reboot world’s Cash Shop for mesos will be changed to have a 90-day duration. Reboot world players who purchased the permanent duration Red and Black Cubes from the Cash Shop prior to this duration change will have the option to request a meso refund via the Maple Admin NPC from December 14, 2022 (after maintenance) to February 8, 2023 (before maintenance). The requested refunds will be processed in two iterations - once during the January 5, 2023 maintenance, and once during the February 8, 2023 maintenance.

Finally, we will be running a Miracle Time event during the December patch for all worlds during the following times:

Aurora, Bera, Elysium, Scania, and Luna worlds:
  • UTC: December 17 at 8:30 AM - 9:30 AM, 10:00 PM - 11:00 PM
  • UTC: December 18 at 3:00 AM - 4:00 AM
Reboot worlds:
  • UTC: December 18 at 8:30 AM - 9:30 AM, 10:00 PM - 11:00 PM
  • UTC: December 19 at 3:00 AM - 4:00 AM
Reboot will be running Miracle Time without the registration again. There will be a 2-3 second delay between Cubing attempts during Miracle Time to help alleviate the lag. We are aware there could be potential issues, and should issues come up, we will be disabling the event and will run a pre-registration Miracle Time for Reboot at a later date.

We'll share more details about these Cubes as we approach the February 2023 update, and we hope you enjoy the Miracle Time!

At this time, Clovers should no longer reset and we will provide further updates on the missing Clovers at the top of this post. Thank you for your patience.

MapleStory - ColonelPanic
Monster Park Extreme is back! Characters that are Lv. 260 or higher can now take their party of up to 4 players into the Extreme difficulty of the classic Monster Park encounter.



Venture into the new Unknown Area and hunt down the monsters that your friendly guide Spiegelmann calls out to you in order to empower the altar in the center of the zone. Once you take down the requisite number of monsters, you can activate the altar, summoning the powerful Extreme Bigfoot monster!



You'll only have a limited amount of time to attack Extreme Bigfoot until he flees from the field, so make sure you're ready for him and pile on the damage! Once Extreme Bigfoot escapes, you'll need to defeat more monsters to charge the altar and bring him out again to pour on more damage. Extreme Bigfoot will escape four times in total, and on his fifth appearance he'll stay until he's either defeated, or your 30-minute time limit in Monster Park Extreme elapses. Take down Extreme Bigfoot to complete the mode and earn your extremely large amount of EXP and Monster Park Days-of-the-Week Box!



Monster Park Extreme Details:
  • Party of 1 to 4 players
  • Monster Park Extreme has been closed for a long time but has now reopened!
  • Monster Park Extreme can be cleared only once a day per world. Clear count isn't deducted if you fail to clear or exit midway.
  • The party leader of a party of 1-4 that are Lv. 260 or above can enter the Monster Park Extreme portal.
  • Spiegelmann informs you of the type and number of enemies required to hunt when the game starts.
  • The big altar in the middle of the map can be activated when the number of enemies you were informed about have been hunted. When one of the party members presses the Interact/Harvest key at the big altar, "Extreme Bigfoot" is summoned.
  • Extreme Bigfoot appears somewhere on the map and escapes after some time passes. Spiegelmann lets you know the remaining time until it escapes.
  • When Extreme Bigfoot escapes from the map, you can hunt and activate the big altar again to summon it.
  • When Extreme Bigfoot is defeated within the time limit, you can clear Monster Park Extreme.
  • If you don't defeat Extreme Bigfoot within the time limit, it will be processed as a fail.
  • Extreme Bigfoot won't escape anymore after escaping several times.
Monster Park Extreme Rewards:
  • EXP
  • Monster Park Days-of-the-Week Box: Untradeable, Permanent.
Monster Park Improvements
