Custom-made Quests to Help You Level Up

Love Party Quest (PQ)? Check out how we are going to enhance your party quests experiences!

Quests will be re-balanced and the rewards will be modified to enhance character growth.
With changes done to the map, and adjustments done to the monster levels, level requirements for quests will be adjusted as well.
Easier PQ! You can now use the Dimensional Mirror in each town to enter into the PQ entrance map directly.
The number of participants and required level will be changed for some of the existing PQs.
It is now easier to see the PQ information in the new PQ tab of the quest window.
PQ-goers now get to choose their individual rewards when the boss mob is eliminated in PQ.

Do not worry Maplers, if the quest was in progress before the Big Bang update and if the required level changes after the update. Your quest will revert back to new status from in progress status.
After the update, you’ll be able to replay the quests that have changes to the required level despite having completed them before.

► OVERALL EXP RE-BALANCING!

Once again, character leveling EXP will be re-balance since 2009 with the launch of Episode 3!
Overall level-up EXPs will be decreased for all classes, making leveling up easier and faster.

Levels 10 to 30 : 54% decrease in EXP required!
