BOO! Our Night Troupe is making its daring return just in time for the mischievous season of Halloween! We have lots in store to really get this season going! You can start with earning bonus stats by leveling up your Festival Designer Rank in Ludibrium or you can kick back and put together some solid fits through our Maple Fashion Week. Is dressing yourself up not enough?! That’s fine! You can put your interior design skills to the test by decorating your space through the [Home] Halloween event!



We’ve been to Henesys, Rien, Nautilus... and now, it’s time to explore the castle of toys! The Night Troupe is back and this time, they’re taking us to Ludibrium!

Level up your Festival Designer Rank to unlock bonus stats, and power up even more with Festival Decorating perks that give your character (and boss mules) extra gains! Time doesn’t play by the rules here! Choose to fill either the Eos Hourglass or the Helios Hourglass and enjoy a boost in EXP - past, present, or future, the choice is yours.



Need a break after all that grinding? Grab your friends and enjoy the Ludibrium Fireworks Display, then jump right back in for a fun challenge - Knocking Down Blockulatus!



FashionStory IS the true endgame! Get ready, because Hallowkitty and Camila are back and thrilled to host Maple Fashion Week! Defeat enemies to unlock your next outfit of the day and show off your style down the runway.





Your Maple World neighbors have no idea what Halloween is really about, so it’s time to team up with Querencia and show them what it’s all about… and maybe give them a little scare! Get creative and decorate your own Halloween Manor to really set the mood for the perfect fright night!





Race to the finish line in the Legion Relay! Earn daily quests and earn rewards to supercharge your Legion! There are three types of Relay Box Rewards to choose from, all offering the same rewards but in different quantities. The higher the quantity of the reward, the lower the chance of obtaining it. Choose wisely!
