[Updated September 4] If you spent NX in Lab Server during the event in August, that currency will be refunded to you as Maple Points. This refund will take effect after we've completed our scheduled maintenance this week.

For a limited-time, you can play in Lab world where you can experience different concepts and try out new systems! This is a hardcore game style where your character's level and stats reset after death.

To begin, select “Lab” as your world and create a character! You can create one (only one!) Explorer-class character, who will begin at Lv. 10 in Henesys. Speak with Job Instructor Dr. Bebe to choose your first job. Note that no medal is given upon job advancement. Advancing is reward enough!

As you explore Lab world, you will run into powerful monsters. All monsters have twice as much HP and their stats are five times stronger than on regular worlds.

If your character dies, they revert to a Lv. 10 Beginner, and Ability Points, Skill Points, Hit Points, and Mana Points will be reset. The character will respawn back in Henesys. Dying isn’t all bad though, as you will have a chance to receive a special skill!

• Please Stop Dying: Skill. Master Level 100. Monster Weapon DEF ignored when attacking (2+ skill level %), and Weapon ATT/Magic ATT increased (20 x skill level). This skill can be learned twice a day.

Potions have a 10-second cooldown applied to them, so you can’t escape death by spamming your potion button! However, the Enhancement Scroll count for all items is set high, at 255, so you’ll be able to enhance your items to their very best.

To help with all of this hunting and dying, we will also be running a 2x EXP & Drop event on Lab world for the entire duration! Power through your level-ups!

Note that gift boxes obtained on the Lab server will be deleted after the Lab server is closed, so think carefully about which items you want to claim! The Lab server selection button may also not appear upon first login. If this happens, select a NA server and go to the character select screen, then go back to the server menu. The button for Lab server should appear.

[Updated August 10] Due to several issues with Dual Blade, we have decided to disable the class from being used in Lab Server. We encourage you to choose a different class if your character dies and resets. If you are currently a Dual Blade, you can still continue as a Dual Blade, but once you die and reset you won't be able to select this class anymore.

Known Issues for Lab Server: Dying while fighting Horntail may cause the player to become stuck in the Entrance to Horntail's Cave and unable to leave. For the time being, please avoid fighting Horntail.
