Patch 1.0.4 is now available for Windows, and will be made available on Ubuntu/Mac very soon!

- NOTE: Several specializations have been made stronger in this patch. For a full list of specializations and perks affected, please see the bottom of these patch notes. Some perks now have more ranks than before, so make sure you allocate your points as needed when you load the game after patching.
- ADD: You can now lock Nether Stones from the item menu, preventing you from being able to crush them at the Arcane Refinery.
- ADD: Materials in the Socketing UI can now be sorted by "Property Name" or "Material Name" (default for new save files) rather than just "Name". If you choose "Property Name", the name of each property will be shown, otherwise the material name will be shown. Some players were confused by the original implementation, so hopefully this will help.
- ADD: God Favor HUD option now includes your current Favor Rank.
- CHANGE: You can now release your Animatus or Herbling at the Menagerie. When you do this, you will be given 100% Mana to re-summon these creatures.
- CHANGE: Significantly increased rewards from Slot Machines.
- CHANGE: Significantly increased the amount of Knowledge gained from Hunt Missions.
- CHANGE: Increased the amount of treasure received in certain Nether Realms.
- CHANGE: Increased chance to find personality-changing tomes by 50%.
- CHANGE: Increased chance to find Nether Stones by 20%.
- CHANGE: Nether Stones can now be found at all realm depths, not just your highest-ever depth. This change is now reflected in the Codex.
- CHANGE: Imp Impington, Saint Althea, and Loid Prime are now the only False Gods who are immune to Blight.
- CHANGE: The player's creature with the highest Speed now always goes first against story bosses. This ensures you have the opportunity to inspect these enemies to learn their unique mechanics.
- CHANGE: Increased maximum number of characters allowed in NPC dialog from 128 to 300.
- CHANGE: Decoration counter is now wrapped in brackets instead of parenthesis to make it easier to tell if the number is part of the decoration's name or not.
- CHANGE: Simplified many Prophecy descriptions.
- CHANGE: Extended the timeout window for cloud storage to help people with slower internet connections.
- CHANGE: Cloud ID is now saved immediately after you change it. This is particularly useful if you change it on the title menu and then exit the game before saving.
- CHANGE: Pressing the equivalent of the F key on gamepads while inputting text (such as when you brand an artifact) now moves the selector to "Confirm" immediately.
- CHANGE: "Viscous Web" trait has been revamped. Enemies take 25% more damage for each debuff they have that they're resistant to. This trait does not stack.
- CHANGE: "Exacerbate" trait has been renamed to "Neon Grave" and has a new effect. After this creature attacks, it has a 35% chance to cast Affliction.
- CHANGE: "Corrosion" trait damage increased from 50% to 100%.
- CHANGE: "Villainy Thrives" trait no longer has a damage penalty.
- CHANGE: "Perpetual Disease" trait has been renamed to "Vicar's Blessing" and has a new effect. After an enemy takes damage from Blight, this creature has a 35% chance to cast Minor Healing on it. This trait does not stack. [This change will also result in a major boost in battle performance for everyone, even if you weren't using this trait before.]
- CHANGE: "Diamond Attunement" trait has been revamped. All Spell Gems are 50% more potent. This trait does not stack. [This trait was revamped because its original effect single-handedly negated such a major battle mechanic: sealed spell gems. This change also serves as an indirect buff for certain creature races such as Crunchers and Vortexes, as well as the Inquisitor specialization.]
- CHANGE: "Black Hole" spell has been renamed to "Astral Dimension" and has been revamped. Your creatures' Spell Gems are unsealed. This Spell Gem cannot be Sealed. [This is a much healthier version of the Diamond Attunement trait's effect. Black Hole's effect wasn't very useful before, either.]
- CHANGE: "Spectral Rain" spell no longer affects the Inverted debuff.
- CHANGE: "Eternal Reprieve" now has a 25% chance to activate, down from 100%. It now heals 20% Health, up from 5%.
- CHANGE: "Formation" now increases defense by 5%, down from 25%.
- FIX: Rare freeze in battle.
- FIX: Cloud storage feature claimed the file was successfully uploaded before it was finished, resulting in some players corrupting their cloud files if they exited the game too quickly.
- FIX: "Strength of Soul" perk applied to enemies as well.
- FIX: "Bravely Inspired" trait was still setting creatures' health to 1 despite that functionality being removed a few patches ago.
- FIX: Extremely rare case where Exotics wouldn't drop mana or knowledge.
- FIX: Ariamaki's rank 60 relic perk activated for all your creatures instead of only the creature it was attuned to.
- FIX: Display issue that caused realm properties to be shown on the map in god boss rooms.
- FIX: "Chronic Affliction" trait sometimes dealt the wrong amount of damage.
- FIX: False God runes could sometimes spawn on top of other objects or in walls.
- FIX: Some spells couldn't have the "Increased Stat Potency" property even if they affected stats.
- FIX: "Born Again" perk didn't activate in all cases.
- FIX: "Internal Combustion" spell's extra damage and debuffing was applied to the wrong creatures.
- FIX: "Ascendancy" trait didn't work on Ethereal Spell Gems.
- FIX: "Praise the Light" trait's version of the "Holy Nova" spell only targeted enemies which caused it to skip healing your own creatures.
- FIX: Realm Boost that caused enemies to drop a chest in the next battle didn't stack correctly.
- FIX: "Projection" trait's defending component caused creatures to provoke instead of defend.
- FIX: All effects that related to "Arrow" spells didn't include "Fragmenting Arrow" or "Disintegrating Arrow".
- FIX: Stardust currency achievements still existed despite the fact that this currency was removed from the game during Early Access.
- FIX: "Beast Within" trait didn't work when creatures gained Maximum Health.
- FIX: Option to mute menu sounds wasn't available for Mac or Ubuntu.
- FIX: "Ascendancy" trait sometimes didn't work.
- FIX: Performance issues, freezes, bugs, crashes, and all kinds of other horrible things related to the "Unending Boon" perk.
- FIX: "Unending Boon" perk could sometimes allow multiple copies of a buff to exist on the same creature.
- FIX: Enemies still used their Fusion palettes in boss rooms even if you had this option disabled.
- FIX: Crash/bugs related to cloud storage if you aren't connected to the internet.
- FIX: "Next battle" realm boosts were completely removed after battle, even if they had multiple stacks.
- FIX: It was possible to exit out of the Musical Crystals menu in the Forbidden Depths which also caused a crash.
- FIX: You could re-roll realm properties while Realm Instability was 0 which caused you to waste Power.
- FIX: "Band Warchief" creature had the wrong lore.
- FIX: More typos.

Whatever else you might say about it, 2021 was an unquestionably unique year.

In MapleStory, you traversed a giant jellyfish whale, battled the wrath of the sun god, and crushed slimes. You met the mournful Kain and explored his hidden past, and embraced the impeccably grounded Lara and her grand quest. You visited moonlit festivals, an island populated by goo, a sinister hotel surrounded by mystery, a dark manor filled with puzzles, and so much more!

Take a look back on your 2021 in MapleStory with A Trip Down Maple Lane, a special site that lets you see some of the many exciting and unique things that you did in this last year of play, and share it with your friends on Facebook and Twitter! Enjoy the look back, say farewell to 2021 and get ready for an even more exciting 2022!
