Please avoid altering your computer time when participating in this event. Any changes to your computer time clock can cause issues when creating or deleting Burning characters for this event.
Create a brand-new character during the extra-long event period and select it to have the special "Burning" effect. This event is open to characters in all worlds, as well as Burning World, except for Zero characters.
After your character reaches Lv. 10, every time that character levels up it will gain an additional two levels all the way up to Lv. 260! You also have the option to designate one of your existing Lv. 200-258 characters as 'Hyper Burning' instead, allowing them to gain that benefit!
In addition to all this, you'll also earn amazing rewards along the way, including Root Abyss and Fafnir gear! When you reach Lv. 200 on your ‘Burning’ character, don’t stop there but keep on training! You will receive additional rewards on your ‘Hyper Burning’ character at Lv. 200, Lv. 210, and every 5 levels after Lv. 210, up to Lv. 260!
Event Details:
- Reach level 260 fast on a new or existing character with the Hyper Burning event!
- Requirements: Either:
- A newly created character made during the event period (Zero characters cannot participate in this manner.)
- A Lv. 200 - 258 character (Zero characters must be both within that range and have completed Story Quest Act 2)
- After creating a new character, you will be given an option to give it a ‘Hyper Burning’ effect.
- You cannot go back to give it a ‘Burning’ effect after refusing to do so during character creation.
- You can only 'Hyper Burn' 1 character per account during the event.
- After your ‘Hyper Burning’ character reaches Lv. 10, they will start to earn two additional levels each time your character gains a level up to Lv. 260.
- You will receive special Hyper Burning Rewards when your ‘Burning’ character meets the listed level milestones.
- Alternatively, you may elect to set one of your existing Lv. 200 - 258 characters as 'Hyper Burning', by selecting it on character select screen and clicking on 'Set as Hyper Burning'.
- Doing so will prevent you from designating a newly-created character as 'Hyper Burning'.
- You will still be able to create 'Mega Burning' characters on Burning World.
- There’s more rewards waiting for you past Lv. 200! Once your ‘Burning’ character reaches Lv. 200 (or you designate an existing character as Burning), you can obtain Bonus Rewards up until Lv. 260. You'll also get even better rewards for playing on Burning World!

Burning World Leap
- Wednesday, February 7, 2024 (End of Maintenance) - Wednesday, February 22, 2024 (Start of Maintenance)
As the saying goes, the light that burns twice as bright burns half as long, and the Burning World will burn very brightly indeed. However, while this new world will be consumed at the end of it all, a new life awaits your characters in the other worlds of MapleStory!
Lv. 150+ characters in Burning World will be allowed to leap to another world of your choosing during the World Leap period, taking their equipped items, inventory, and mesos with them to join their new communities. When this period begins, all Burning World characters will be moved to the Burning Leap Zone map, where they will be able to speak to the NPC Mover to complete their exodus.
- Characters in Burning World must be at least Lv. 150 in order to World Leap, whether they were Mega Burning characters or not.
- Zero characters must be both Lv. 150+ and having completed Story Quest Act 2.
- It will not be possible to leave the Burning Leap Zone map during this period, making it impossible to gain any more EXP. Make sure you're Lv. 150 before the February 7 maintenance!
- You do not need an empty character slot on the destination world for your new character (you will be granted a free Character Slot if you are at your unlocked limit on that world), however if you have reached the maximum character limit on that world, you will need to delete a character in order to make room for them.
- Characters can be transferred to Aurora, Bera, Elysium, Luna, and Scania worlds only.
- Characters in Guilds will not be able to World Leap until they have either left or disbanded their Guild.
- Your character's equipped items, inventory, and mesos will be transferred with your character, but items within your Storage, Cash Shop Inventory, mail, and auction house will not be. Make sure you clear everything out before taking the big leap!
- You may send your Burning World characters all to the same world, or to different worlds.
- Medals obtained from regularly-resetting rankings will not be transferred, and your rankings in those pieces of content will also not be transferred.
