[Update Sep 18] Known Issue: The Mover NPC states in-game that World Leap will be available until October 9th. This is incorrect, World Leap will end, as previously stated, at the start of the maintenance on October 7th.

Are you ready to race new characters to Lv. 150 with the biggest level-up event in MapleStory history? We're creating an entire new World with one purpose only: Powering through the early levels!

Burning World

• Wednesday, July 22, 2020 (End of Maintenance) - Thursday, September 17, 2020 (Start of Maintenance)

Burning World is a special world with special rules that will exist only for the duration of the Burning World event, filled with boosts to make it easier than ever to level up fast. While on Burning World, all characters will gain the special Burning skill, which grants the following bonuses:

• 1.5x EXP
• Weapon ATT/Magic ATT +50
• Damage against Normal Monsters +30%
• Damage against Bosses +30%
• Critical Rate +30%
• Critical Damage +30%

You will also be able to create three Mega Burning characters, who operate in the same manner as in previous Mega Burning events: After reaching Lv. 10, every time that character levels up, they will also gain two bonus levels, all the way up to Lv. 150. Combined with the Burning EXP bonus and boosted damage, you'll be able to power your way through those levels faster than ever before!

Additionally, even after your Mega Burning characters have been created, you'll be able to create another three characters to level up and leap, which will still benefit from the Burning skill! Please note that, while the default number of Character Slots on Burning World is eight, and can be expanded via Character Slot Coupons awarded from Daily Gifts and other avenues, only six characters will be able to World Leap when the Burning World event comes to a close, even if you have more than six Lv. 150 characters on the world.

World Leap

[Update Sep 18] Known Issue: The Mover NPC states in-game that World Leap will be available until October 9th. This is incorrect, World Leap will end, as previously stated, at the start of the maintenance on October 7th.

• Thursday, September 17, 2020 (End of Maintenance) - Wednesday, October 7, 2020 (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 on the 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 on the 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 September 17 maintenance!
• Even if you have more than six Lv. 150 characters on Burning World, only six of them will be allowed to World Leap.
• 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 non-Reboot 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.
