Born as a disgraced Nova without a tail or magic, Angelic Buster inherited the powers of Eskalade, an ancient dragon residing inside an ancient relic of Pantheon. Equipped with a dragon shaped arm cannon, known as Soul Shooter, Angelic Buster is able to blast waves of enemies with ease. In her second slot, this Nova Pirate holds on to the power of Eskalade in a special ring, known as Soul Ring, transforming her into Angelic Buster and allowing her to use her special skills. New characters between levels 3 and 120 can level up to two additional bonus levels each time they level up through the Mega Burning event.

This update also includes a slew of opportunities for new players to get acquainted with the systems and contents of the game and get right into action. Upon reaching level 10, new characters will be rewarded for completing missions. New users will be able to power up and adorn legendary items through treasure boxes. Additionally, both new and returning players alike will be able to enjoy abundant bonus items upon using the payment option for the first time.

MapleStory M’s Third Anniversary Magical Land Events include:

  • Crafting Merry-Go Round Event: Players will be able to hunt for materials from dungeons, upgrade their merry-go round up to four ranks, and get their very own customized chair with the opportunity to obtain a fancy chair.
  • Magical Land Parade Event: All players who log-in during the event will get an all-time buff for all characters in the world where the buff is activated.
  • Coin Drop Event: During the event, all hunting has the chance for a coin drop, where players can purchase items at the Magical Land Coin Shop.
  • Jumping Cloud Cat Event: Special game where players navigate riding a cloud cat to eat bubbles resulting in coins.
  • Angelic Buster’s Dressing Room: Special fabric dropped during the event can be exchanged with an NPC to create a dress. Players will also be able to customize the looks of their style items throughout the event.
  • Angelic Buster’s Concert Hall: Players are able to obtain extra EXP when attending Angelic Buster’s Concert Hall where users can listen to her songs.
  • Water Splash Event: All players will be given three free tickets for this mini-game where players are rewarded for dodging various items in a fixed amount of time.
