    MapleLegends' 10th Anniversary Event
    Monday, May 12th (after maintenance) - Sunday, June 8th (23:59:00 Server Time)

    [​IMG]

    Is that a New Game+ in your menu, or are you just glad to see us? MapleLegends' 10th Anniversary is here and we want you to celebrate this milestone event with us!

    All players can participate by talking to the Retro World Arcade Cabinet NPC, which can be found in most towns. Participating in event-related content will net you Retro Coins and Retro Coupons which can be used to redeem all kinds of 8-bit perks and prizes!

    [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Players can earn up to 1000 Retro World Points and 30 Retro Coupons per week.

    Retro World

    Accessed through the Retro World Arcade Cabinet NPC
    [​IMG]
    The Retro World of Balina awaits a Hero, one brave enough to face the daunting Demon King, and one worthy enough to gain the Goddess Avaracia's blessings of bounty and wealth! Enter the Retro World map through the Retro World Arcade Cabinet to begin your adventure!

    Throughout the Event you will earn Retro Coupons which you can exchange with the Goddess Avaracia for Ability Point Resets or an entry into the Retro Rewards Raffle for a chance at even more luxurious loot!​

    Mercenary’s Jump Training
    Mercenary's Jump Training can only be attempted solo, without a party

    [​IMG]
    Get your platforming on to train for the Demon King's Tower in Mercenary's Jump Training! Talk to NPC Gunnolf in the Retro World map to enter the Jump Training Area. Your goal is to jump your way from one side of the training ground to the other before the time runs out in 90 seconds. You can also earn Retro Coins by collecting them as as you hop across the map!

    After attempting Mercenary’s Jump Training 1 time, you will learn the Long Jump skill, which can be used to help you successfully clear Mercenary's Jump Training, the Demon King's Tower (Hard Mode), Retro Reach, and Bit Puff Daddy.

    Once you have cleared Mercenary’s Jump Training 1 time, you can talk to Gunnolf to earn the Retro World Champion Jumper pendant!​

    Magician’s Dodge Training
    Magician's Dodge Training can only be attempted solo, without a party
    [​IMG]
    Leap around and dodge the Magician's flames to train for the Demon King's Tower in Magician's Dodge Training! Talk to NPC Photios in the Retro World map to enter the Magician’s Dodge Training Area. The goal of this game is to successfully break open all the treasure chests while dodging all the incoming fireballs and fire attacks for 90 seconds across 3 stages. You can also collect any Retro Coins that you find in the area. If you fail to open all the chests within the time limit, you'll be sent back to Retro World.

    After completing Magician’s Dodge Training 1 time, you'll receive the Retro World Champion Dodger pendant by speaking to Photios!


    Demon King’s Tower

    The Demon King's Tower can be attempted either solo or with a party
    [​IMG]
    Once you have completed your training with Photios and Gunnolf (by earning the Retro World Champion Dodger and Retro World Champion Jumper pendants), you can finally gain access to the Demon King’s Tower. Accept the quest, "[Retro World] Eliminate the Demon King" from Emeric, and use the purple portal on the right side of Retro World to enter.

    In the tower, you will have to complete 4 stages that consist of 5 floors each in order to face the Demon King. You'll have to use your jumping and evading techniques that you learned from the Magician and the Mercenary, along with your new Axe Throw skill, to reach past the 20th floor where the Demon King awaits.

    If you fail the stage, by losing your 3 hearts or falling off the map, you'll have to start over. You can even earn Retro Coins by opening the treasure chests in the Tower. Some of these treasure chests may also contain additional hearts to replenish the health of you and your party! Additionally, Retro Coupons can be earned every time you reach a new stage checkpoint!
    Health items obtained within the Demon King's Tower will only work for players present in the map at the time the item is looted.

    Players looking for more a challenge can select "Demon King's Tower (Hard Mode)", a more difficult take on your tower-climbing adventure with the added benefit of being able to use the Long Jump skill you learned from Gunnolf to aid you in your escapades!

    Successfully clearing Hard Mode will reward you with 2 Cake Boss entries to attempt Bit Puff Daddy.

    NEW! Chests in the Demon's Tower now have a chance to drop a piece of legendary Pixel Equipment!

    • Each piece of Pixel Equipment has its own perk that can be utilized in the Demon's Tower when equipped
    • Pixel Equipment drops will vary depending on where you are in the Demon's Tower
    • Parties of 4 or more members will have a chance to obtain an extra copy of Pixel Equipment when found in the Demon's Tower
    • Pixel Equipment can be used across all modes of the Demon's Tower

    Retro Reach
    Retro Reach can only be attempted with a party of 3 players
    [​IMG]

    Grab your axes and your friends to train for the Demon King's Tower in Retro Reach! Enter the portal on the left side of the Retro World map and talk to Photios to enter the Retro Reach map. In a team of 3 adventurers, your goal is to eliminate all the monsters in the map using nothing but your Axe Throw skill in 3 minutes before time's up.

    You and your party will have a random chance to earn either Retro Coins or Retro Coupons for every successful completion of this challenge!​

    Bit Puff Daddy
    Bit Puff Daddy can be attempted with a party of 3-6 players*
    [​IMG]

    For every 3 times you clear Retro Reach, you will earn 1 Cake Boss entry. Now, you can speak with NPC Emeric to take on the challenge of Bit Puff Daddy! The townsfolk of Balina tried to bake a cake big enough to satiate the appetites of all these new travelers from the Maple World. The people called upon the power of the Goddess to bless them with enough cake for everyone, but it seems something went awry. With such a big cake has come an even bigger problem!

    The Goddess' blessing may have altered more than just the cake's flavor... as it has transformed it into a monster the people of Balina have named, "Bit Puff Daddy"! Your party of 3-6 adventurers need to use your Axe Throw skill to cut this cake down to size within 20 minutes, but be careful; this sugar-coated calamity is not to be trifled with!

    Scattered amongst the battlefield you will find boxes, which upon breaking open, will release some of Bit Puff Daddy's minions. To turn this battle in your (party) favor, collect 6 of a similar item and then drop them to activate one of many buffs to stuff the Puff!
    *Party members must be above Level 10, have the Axe Throw skill, and 1 Cake Boss entry in order to attempt [Bit Puff Daddy] Sweet Attack on Balina Town

    Players that successfully defeat Bit Puff Daddy and end his reign of tasty terror will earn 2 Retro Coupons and 1 random Retro Box, which each contain a different assortment of Maple Weapons and/or Maple Accessories!
    [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]
    Clearing Bit Puff Daddy 8 times will reward the player with the Retro Hero pendant.
    Additionally, at the start of each event week, players will be granted a bonus of 5 Cake Boss entries to attempt Bit Puff Daddy.

    Players can also earn a maximum of 10 bonus Retro Coupons from [Bit Puff Daddy] Sweet Attack on Balina Town, increasing their weekly cap of Retro Coupons from 30 to 40.
    Chief’s Special Potion
    Emeric's exchanges will be available until Sunday, June 15th (23:59:00 Server Time)
    [​IMG]

    Seeking something that packs more punch than a sugar rush? Look no further! Talk to Emeric in the Retro World map to purchase 3 types of Retro World potions! The following potions are available for purchase:​
    • Retro World Purple Potion: +20 W.Att for 5 minutes​
    • Retro World Orange Potion: +30 M.Att for 5 minutes​
    • Retro World Red Potion: +25 Avoidability and Accuracy for 5 minutes​

    [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Oh, what a delight! My first Anniversary event and experience with the fabled DKT I’ve always heard about; the pixel work is so nice!

    Thank you, Staff, for your work and effort.

    can we have 5 hearts for normal DKT mode? there's really more JQ-handicapped players than you might think on the server.
    I know quite a few who struggled through multiple DKT attempts with the help of others throughout the event just to complete it once for the untradeable chair and never go back to DKT again for the remainder of the event.

    it'll help the bad players and doesn't really buff the good players since they can probably make it through DKT without using the full 3 hearts anyway.

    There will be Pixel equipment that drops from the chests in the tower that will help y'all out on your journey. Each equipment does different things but it should help with the things you mentioned :) hopefully that makes the journey easier as a fellow bad JQer

    I have no interest whatsoever in seeing Retro World again, and have never enjoyed this event space even slightly in past years. What happened to hosting unique events each year? If constantly revolving unique events was simply too much for the team, then why repeat this one, instead of cycling through old events, at least? I wish the 10th anniversary event involved some of the NPCs that persistently exist within Maple World, that have relevance and a connection to the players via questlines. I can't help but see Retro World as an irrelevant worldspace populated by total hack NPCs, so I'm more than a bit disappointed since this is a landmark anniversary.

    Of course, I don't want to completely dump on the volunteer work here. It's better than nothing, but I would have preferred simple Maple items dropping from world mobs + some GM-hosted fun events throughout. And I'm aware some people really like DKT. Perhaps I am way off track here, but I've heard shared sentiment from other players as well.

    That said, happy 10th anniversary, MapleLegends. I've only been here for half of that time, and have made tons of memories and friends here. Oddjobs forever!

    Mint Hair and Pastel Dreams Face!!! I've been waiting for these two FOREVERRR MapleF14

    Would've preferred more variety in the female hairstyles tho. I remember seeing a request a few months ago for less “K-pop hairstyles” for males, and you guys did an amazing job at making that happen. So here's my request for fewer generic-looking female hairstyles that are just long and untied SlimeGrin

    First and foremost; congratulations to staff and especially Kim for reaching this milestone. 10 years is an extraordinarily long period of time for a private server to stay up and active (as evident when looking at so many others).

    As far as the specific event goes, I have to admit I'm a little bit disappointed by reusing Retro world for the second (third?) year in a row. My personal grievances with the event aside, it feels somewhat lackluster to see this event reappear.

    Don't get me wrong; I do not expect staff to always pump out revolutionary new events and I can't begin to imagine how much time might have to be put in by our staff volunteers. However, re-recycling Retro world doesn't feel anywhere near as celebratory as I personally feel like this milestone may have deserved.

    Of course I can understand how there's limited time available for staff to put in and priorities may have been more geared towards balance changes and the upcoming release of LHC. Additionally, I fully realize it's not my call to make how this milestone should be celebrated.

    Just wanted to leave my two cents though. Have a good one!
