DIVINE INTELLIGENCE

Show off your mind with the new Divine Intelligence event! This mini-game will test you on Maple knowledge and reward you with points depending on how much you know. You will be challenged with identifying monsters based on their silhouettes, and you must quickly move to the area with the correct answer to stay in the game. In addition to points, you’ll also receive a limited-time title that records how many times you answer correctly!

THE LEGENDS RETURN

Show off your strength with The Legends Return! In this event, players compete 3 on 3 in a PvP style brawl. Each player selects an avatar reflecting a Maple legend such as Grendel the Really Old, Manji, or Athena Pierce. For the first time, the hero of Winter Bard, Ryude, is available to select! Use the skills of these masters to defeat the opposing team. Avatars can grow and level up by defeating monsters or opposing players. Whoever receives the most points at the end of the battle wins Magpie Coins to redeem in the New Year Coin Shop!
