[Updated March 22]: Thank you for all the feedback! As mentioned in each blog, we intend to take a good listen to what you, our players, have to say to guide us in making the right decisions. This is the heart of Project New Leaf.

Based on the feedback we observed, we will cancel the portion of the event that grants +30% bonus attack in Chaos Raids. Instead we will extend the portion that grants Double Drops in Hard Adventure Dungeons by another month until the Progression Improvement Update arrives on April 25th. Please note that this will be a one-time and final extension of the Hard Adventure Dungeon Double Drop event. We understand this particular event has been very helpful for a lot of players and has been an effective band-aid solution to the current progression issue. With the Progression Improvement Update on April 25th, we intend to permanently fix the progression issues and end the Hard Adventure Dungeon Double Drop event.

For those who are curious, the Fortress Rumbles Double Drop event will be applied as planned on March 28th. Similar to the Hard Adventure Dungeon Double Drop event, the Fortress Rumbles Double Drop event will start during the weekly reset time on March 29th at 12:00 AM UTC (March 28th at 5:00 PM PDT).

Thank you for your feedback and for being patient with us. See you in game!

Dear Maplers,

We’ve discussed in-depth what kind of permanent changes are coming on March 28th with this month’s first two blogs. It’s time that we now start delving into some of the additional bits that we’ve concocted for the Economy Improvements Update. While these aren’t new or permanent changes, it will be an important crux of what our intentions are with Project New Leaf and getting you prepped for what’s to come in the future for MapleStory 2.

To recap, below is what we went over so far.

Economy Improvements Update: March 28th

• Meso Market
• Epic Pet Drop Rate
• Meso Sink Reduction

Today’s blog will cover:

• The end of the Dungeon Delight Event, and its replacement

Let’s dive right in!


As we stated in our earlier Producer Blog and event notice, the Dungeon Delight Event will be concluding at 12:00 AM UTC on Friday, March 29th. In its place, we will start a new Dungeon Delight Event that gives +30% bonus attack in Chaos Raids and Double Drops during Fortress Rumbles until the Progression Improvement Update arrives on Thursday, April 25th. With Fairfight removed and the Dungeon Delight Event running until now, we believe that most players are at least nearly ready for Chaos Raids, but might have a difficult time contributing alongside the most experienced players. By adding increased bonus attack in Chaos Raids and Double Drops during Fortress Rumbles, players currently playing Hard Adventure Dungeons can now have a higher chance of obtaining legendary gear. We hope that this event will also help those who are currently enchanting legendary gear to get Double Drops and better prepare for our next update and the upcoming summer expansion. More details of this event will be shared with the Economy Improvement Update event post, so stay tuned.


It’s about time we get down to the core problem we’ve set out to tackle. RNG. Some big reveals for the Progression Improvement Update are coming up, and we are excited to share some of the details we’re locking down soon. As we’ve stated from the start, we are looking for ways to reduce random elements, and we’ll start to release news of changes to the following systems , starting next week:

• Enchanting
• Gemstone Upgrades
• Gemstone Resource Gathering
• Accessory Socket Opening
• …and more.

We will be performing a scheduled maintenance on Wednesday, March 20th at 7:00 AM PDT. During this period, all servers will be unavailable. We anticipate the maintenance to last approximately 2 hours, concluding at around 9:00 AM PDT.

- Start and End Times -

• PST (UTC -8): 7:00 AM - 9:00 AM
• EST (UTC -5): 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
• BRT (UTC -3): 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM

• Server Upkeep

Dear Maplers,

Now that we've explored the Meso Market, it's time we dive into the other changes we're looking to make with the Economy Improvements Update (tentative date: March 28th).

Today's blog will cover:

• Epic Pets
• Meso Sink Reduction

To rehash what we currently have planned, here's the remaining changes currently scheduled with Project New Leaf.

Progression Improvement Update: Tentatively April 25th

• Enchanting
• Gemstone Upgrades
• Accessory Socket Opening
• Gemstone Resource Gathering
• ...and more.

Without further ado, let's jump right in.


For a lot of players in MapleStory 2, owning an Epic Pet has been an elusive dream. Epic Pets are extremely rare, and rightfully so given the benefits they can have. Epic Pets were originally reserved for those players who were lucky enough to find one, so they could hold their heads high after completing an impressive feat in the game. We don't want to change this dynamic, but we understand how sour one can feel when you've captured countless pets without finding an Epic Pet.

As such, we will be increasing the capture rate of Epic Pets by six-fold with our next update. This means it will be 6 times more likely that you will catch an Epic Pet when you put down any grade of Snares.

We feel that this increase will still reserve the rarity of Epic Pets, but also make finding one considerably less onerous for determined players.

For those wondering about other ways to improve the odds of capturing an Epic Pet, we definitely recommend using Dryad G3 Snare on red-metered pets at minimum, because this will offer you the highest chance of capturing one. The capture rate for an Epic Pet increases by about 250% per grade (G1 / G2 / G3) and about 200% per pet meter (green / yellow / red). This means you have about a 2500% better chance at finding an Epic Pet with G3 Snare on red-metered pets compared to G1 Snares on green-metered pets.


Based on our survey and the feedback we gathered, the cost of mesos within certain systems has been a common pain point, as this became a wall preventing some players from progressing further. With all the changes we are planning to make through Project New Leaf, we decided to re-examine the economic effects of these systems and look for ways we can ease the burden caused by meso cost.

To do this right, we've decided to bring these adjustments in two phases, with the first part coming in the Economy Improvements Update, and the second part reserved for the Progression Improvement Update. At this time, we are focusing our changes to systems with repeated mesos costs that have been daunting for many players, so that these systems can become more accessible.

For the first iteration of the Meso Sink Reduction, we will be permanently adjusting the meso costs for the following systems:

• Change Attributes for Legendary Gear meso cost reduced by up to 80%
• Accessory Fragment Fusion meso cost reduced by 90%

Currently, Legendary Gear (Headgear / Top / Bottom / Gloves / Shoes) requires 2,000 Crystal Fragments on the first attempt at changing its attributes. This cost will be reduced to 400 Crystal Fragments. Further attempts will also cost less, with each attempt increasing by a flat 400 Crystal Fragments per attempt (800, then 1,200, then 1,600 and so on), instead of increasing exponentially (by ~25%) with each attempt. As an example, the 5th attempt going forward will cost you 2,000 Crystal Fragments, down from 4,880 Crystal Fragments.


All Accessory Fragment Fusion costs will be reduced by 90%. As an example, Epic Accessory Fragments Fusion cost will be set to 50,000 mesos, down from 500,000 mesos. Legendary Accessory Fragment Fusion costs will be reduced to 100,000 mesos, down from 1,000,000 mesos.

Please note that these are permanent changes that not only affect current equipment, but future gear will also be set with the same mindset as above.

This is the first phase of Meso Sink Reduction. We will have the second phase of Meso Sink Reduction combined with the Progression Improvement Update and are already discussing internally. We think this will be the right method, given the level of changes we are planning to make.

It's time for the first update of Project New Leaf! Over the next few months as we build towards our next expansion, we're going to be unleashing a series of updates and improvements to MapleStory 2. With the feedback we've received, we're deploying the first set of changes, including a series of Quality of Life changes, a new item to help with gear and meso acquisition and a major change that many of you have been asking for...


It's time to say farewell to Fairfight in all Adventure Dungeons! Maplers fighting their way through Normal and Hard Adventure Dungeons will now strike with their full power and deal full damage. Please note that with this change, the EXP earned from clearing Adventure Dungeons beyond daily and weekly cap has been reduced to 10%. 

Fairfight will remain active within Fortress Rumbles, as those are meant to remain challenging content regardless of equipped gear. Additionally, while players battling World Bosses will still be affected by Fairfight, the health of all World Bosses has been reduced by 60%. This will make them much quicker for smaller groups to down, without allowing high-level players to kill World Bosses in low-level zones in a matter of seconds.




We're also adding Trader's Ribbons to MapleStory 2 to make Lv. 50 Epic and Legendary equipment tradeable to other players and sellable on the Black Market. Available only via Weekly Rank Rewards for some Chaos Raids and Fortress Rumbles, these new items will help players that get powerful but redundant gear ready their friends for the top-tier content (and make a few mesos on the side)!

Where to get Trader's Ribbons:

• Chaos Raids:
• Weekly Rank Rewards for the following Chaos Raids:
• Hard Shadow Altar
• Hard Moonlight Fortress
• Ludibrium Clock Tower
• Wrath of Infernog
• Rank A: 14x Lv. 50 Trader's Ribbons
• Fortress Rumbles
• Weekly Rank Rewards for all Fortress Rumbles:
• Rank A: 8x Lv. 50 Trader's Ribbons

Trader's Ribbons are character-bound, and the amount of Trader's Ribbons you will need to enable trading for Lv. 50 Epic or Legendary gears differs per grade and per gear type:

• Lv. 50 Epic
• Weapons
• Two-Handed, Main Hand and Off-hand: 48 Trader's Ribbons
• One-Handed: 24 Trader's Ribbons
• Top/Bottom/Headgear/Gloves/Shoes: 24 Trader's Ribbons
