Today, mobile MMORPG MapleStory M welcomed the Pathfinder, a sharpshooting Explorer wielding an ancient bow, as its newest playable class. The Pathfinder’s arrival is accompanied by the Pathfinder Link Event with MapleStory, where players can earn rewards in both games by leveling the new class in MapleStory M.
Today’s update also increases the max level to 250, adds a flurry of winter season events and activities, and brings new missions and achievements to the game.
Latest Update Adds New Max-Level Expansion, Lachelein Map Area, Mini-Dungeon Improvements, and Multiple Winter Season Events with Exclusive Rewards.
As of today, the sharpshooting Explorer who wields an ancient bow, Pathfinder, is available as a new playable class. Maplers who pre-registered their Pathfinder were eligible for items such as Auto-Battle Charge Tickets and EXP tickets, while all players can take part in Mega Burning and On-Time/Growth Support events to help level-up a new Pathfinder quickly. As a bonus after today’s maintenance, both MapleStory M and MapleStory will be running the Pathfinder Link Event through January 19th, 2022, whereby, after reaching levels, 70, 120, and 140 on MapleStory M with the Pathfinder, Maplers can garner rewards in both games, including a Pathfinder outfit gift box, Ancient Relic, and more.
The Black Mage’s fourth commander, Arkarium, formerly a servant under Rhinne, Maple World’s Transcendent of Time, makes his debut in MapleStory M. Maplers will be able to craft an all-new boss accessory Dominator Pendant using the materials acquired when defeating Arkarium.
A new map in the Arcane River has also been added, the Dreaming City Lachelein, bringing with it new quests, monsters, area items to discover, and a new Arcane force field. Mini-dungeons have also received a quality of life improvement with this update so that Maplers can auto-play multiple times by using tickets and mesos.
