The second patch of the MapleStory Reboot update has been released! This patch includes the new Reboot World, Hyper Stats, Toad’s Hammer, and other various game system changes. It’s very similar to the last test server patch but there are a few changes and I have also added the events which have begun!

Reboot World

The new Reboot World has been added. Reboot World is a new world where the fun of traditional RPGs is revived without the burden of Cash.

Reboot World Character Creation

• You can create any job except for Zero.

• The base number of character slots is 6.
• Each character’s Equip/Use/Set-up/Etc. inventory will have 48 base slots.
• You can purchase character slots and inventory/storage slot expansions in the potion shops in each town for mesos.
• When you create a character, you will receive a Snail pet and some potions.

Reboot World Monster Combat and Rewards

• Reboot World’s monsters are stronger than regular worlds, and give more experience when defeated.
• Depending on the level difference between the monster and your character, some combat numbers may change.
• Your character’s damage will increase as their level increases.
• Mesos dropped by monsters has been increased significantly.
• Regular monsters will only drop equipment which your class can use.
• Boss monsters’ drop rate of equipment and soul fragments have been increased significantly. Craftsman’s Cubes, Meister’s Cubes, Eternal Flames of Reincarnation, Strong Flames of Reincarnation, and Potential Stamps have been added as new rewards from bosses.
• When you do not log in for 2 days or more, you will receive Rest Experience Coupons based on the number of days you did not log in.

Reboot World Item Changes

• The scrolling system and additional potential system have been removed. Related scrolling items and Additional Cubes/Additional Potential Stamps have been removed.
• Scrolling enhancement Cash items will no longer be sold.
• Scroll Traces can be obtained in Reboot World but you cannot use them, you can sell them to NPC shops at high prices.

• In Reboot World, you cannot trade items or mesos with other users. You can use storage to move items (except for equipment) and mesos to other characters on your account. Even tradeable equipment cannot be moved through the storage.
• Since you cannot trade with other users, trading related items have been removed and trading related Cash items will no longer be sold.
• In Reboot World, you can learn all 5 professions. You cannot use Cube or Flame of Reincarnation recipes. You can no longer make Cubes or Flames of Reincarnation because they can either be acquired through boss monster drops or by buying them from potion shops in towns for mesos.

Reboot World Cash Shop

• In Reboot World, some Cash items can be bought using mesos.
  • Cash items you can purchase with mesos: Red Cube, Black Cube, Teleport World Map, Safety Charm, etc.
  • Cash items which are no longer sold: Master Additional Miracle Cube, Shield and Scroll related items, Epi’s Box, Pandora’s Box, Royal Hair Coupon, Platinum Scissors of Karma, etc.

• Some Reboot World-only Cash items have been added.
  • Specific beauty coupons, ridings, chairs, etc.
• In Reboot World, Mileage can be acquired and used just like regular worlds.
• In Reboot World, slot expansion coupons are no longer sold in the Cash Shop. You can buy them in potion shops.
• In Reboot World, you cannot use offline coupons.

Reboot World Other Changes

• In Reboot World, you cannot use Monster Life.
• In Reboot World, you cannot use the Auction House or Meso Market.
• In Reboot World, some events may not be held or their rewards may be changed. Please refer to each event notice for details.
• In Reboot World, some Premium PC Room benefits are limited.

System Related

The Toad’s Hammer system has been added.

• Toad’s Hammer is a new system which allows you to transfer the number of Star Force enhancements (minus 1), up to Epic rank potential (including Additional Potential), and Soul information of an item to another which is 1~10 levels higher than it.
• Characters level 40 and higher can click the Toad’s Hammer icon in the inventory window to use it.
• If your potential (or Additional Potential) is Epic rank or lower, it will be carried over as-is. However, if your potential (or Additional Potential) is Unique rank or higher, it will have its stats changed to their Epic rank equivalents. If they are stats only available in Unique rank or higher, they will be randomly changed to Epic rank stats.
• The item’s additional options and trade related options will not be carried over, the item receiving the stats will keep its existing additional options and trade related options. If the item receiving the stats still has upgrade slots remaining, 100% Scroll Trace scrolls will automatically be used to use up the remaining slots.
• You can only move an item’s stats to another item which is 1~10 levels higher than it. Items with additional options of Equipped Level Increase/Decrease will not apply to this restriction.
• The item receiving the stats will have its existing Star Force enhancements, potential (and Additional Potential), and Soul information removed and replaced with the other item’s.
• The item whose stats are being extracted will disappear after it is used.
• The Toad’s Hammer system cannot be used on some equipment.
  • Superior equipment
  • Items scrolled with Miraculous Equipment Enhancement Scrolls
  • Equipment with unique potential options (not the rank but like the Onyx Ring, etc)
  • Equipment with an expiry date
  • Cash items
  • Equipment which cannot be Star Force enhanced
  • Equipment which cannot receive potential
  • Equipment with unique skills
  • PC Room-only equipment
  • Zero-only weapons (Lapis, Lazuli)

To use Toad’s Hammer, first you must open the UI. Then, choose a target item whose stats will be extracted. Items which can currently be used in this system will appear on the left. For an item to be available to use, it must have at least 1 Star and you must have another equipment of the same type that is 1~10 levels higher than it.

Then you must choose the item which will inherit the stats. Again, it must be 1~10 levels higher and be the same equipment type as the extracted equipment.

If the item which is inheriting the stats has any unused upgrade slots, you will be given the choice of which 100% Scroll Trace scrolls to use to fill them up.

After that, you’ll finally be given the confirmation window. Press OK and watch the magic happen!

In summary, here is what is/isn’t carried over when using Toad’s Hammer:

• Additional Options: not extracted, the inheriting item will keep its Additional Options
• Scroll Trace Upgrades: not extracted, the inheriting item will keep its scrolled stats
• Potential (+ Additional Potential): the extracted item’s potential and additional potential will be carried over as-is if it is Epic rank or lower, if it is higher then the stats will be lowered to match Epic rank stats (if it is a Unique/Legendary only stat then it will be replaced with a random Epic rank stat)
• Star Force: the extracted item’s Star Force enhancement number will be carried over (minus 1 Star)
• Soul: the extracted item’s Soul will be carried over

Here is an example. On the left is the item which is being extracted (my Falcon Wing Composite Bow with 10 stars, Epic potential, Rare Additional potential, and a 15 DEX Hilla Soul). In the middle is the item which is inheriting the stats (my Fafnir Wind Chaser with 11 stars, Epic potential, Rare additional potential, and an 18 DEX Plaid soul).

Since my inheriting item is 10 levels higher than my extracted item and the extracted item has at least 1 star, I can use Toad’s Hammer. It will result in a Fafnir Wind Chaser with 9 stars (originally 10 from my Composite Bow – 1), the same potential as my Composite Bow, and the Soul from my Composite Bow (15 DEX Hilla). It will not inherit the scrolled stats of my Composite Bow, it will keep its current +9 scrolls. If I hadn’t scrolled it fully, any left over slots would be used up with a 100% Scroll Trace scroll.

The Hyper Stat system has been added.

• Starting from level 140, you will receive Hyper Stat Points which can be used to increase your Hyper Stats.
• Hyper Stats that you can raise are:
  • STR: 15~150 (max level 10)
  • DEX: 15~150 (max level 10)
  • INT: 15~150 (max level 10)
  • LUK: 15~150 (max level 10)
  • HP: 2%~20% (max level 10)
  • MP: 2%~20% (max level 10)
  • Demon Force: 10~50 (max level 5)
  • Speed: 4~20 (max level 5)
  • Jump: 2~10 (max level 5)
  • Critical rate: 1%~15% (max level 10)
  • Minimum critical: 1%~10% (max level 10)
  • Maximum critical: 1%~15% (max level 10)
  • Defense ignore: 3%~30% (max level 10)
  • Damage: 3%~30% (max level 10)
  • Boss damage: 3%~35% (max level 10)
  • Elemental resistance: 4%~20% (max level 5)
  • Status resistance: 1%~15% (max level 10)
  • Stance: 2%~10% (max level 5)
• Every 10 levels after level 140, the number of Hyper Stat Points you get upon level up will be increased.
  • Starting at level 140, you will get 3 Hyper Stat Points per level up. For every 10 levels after that, you will receive 1 more Hyper Stat Point per level up. (level 140~149 you’ll get 3, level 150~159 you’ll get 4, level 160~169 you’ll get 5, etc.)
• Based on the current level of the stat, the amount of Hyper Stat Points required to increase it to the next level will increase.
• You can reset your Hyper Stats for 10 million mesos.

As you can see, as the level of a Hyper Stat increases, it requires more and more Hyper Stat Points. The increase in points required is the same for max level 5 and max level 10 skills.

To max a level 5 skill, it requires 25 Hyper Stat Points. To max a level 10 skill, it requires 150 Hyper Stat Points.

The Honor system has been changed slightly.

• After level 30, the amount of Honor you get per level up has been increased from 500 to a certain number based on your character’s level.
• Characters made before this patch will be compensated with the Honor they would have gotten with this system in place.
• The amount of Honor given per Medal of Honor from hunting has been increased.

The Burning Field system has been changed.

• The time it requires for a Burning Field’s stage to increase has been reduced.
• The maximum stage of a Burning Field has been increased from 5 to 10. The bonus experience will scale the same, up to 100% bonus experience at a stage 10 Burning Field.

The first event is called Take Off! Monster Treasure Storage, and it runs from now until August 19. Again, copy pasted from the 12th Anniversary a few months ago haha.

There are seven different kinds of storages, each with its own special gimmick: platforming, climbing, scrolling down, springs, ropes, action ropes, and high jumps!

In each one, you’ll find the following items that you can collect:

• Silver Meso Coin (100 mesos)
• Gold Meso Coin (1000 mesos)
• Meso Box (5000~10,000 mesos)
• Regular Box (can be broken using Ctrl or your regular attack, can drop Meso Boxes and past Maple Anniversary items)
• Special Box (can be broken using Ctrl or your regular attack, can give 2x Mesos/Speed for 15 seconds)
• Pepe Coin

And by past Maple Anniversary items, I mean literally any Maple item you can think of is included!! Even those random ones like the 1,500 Day Flag or 3,000 Day Medal!

Now, how can you enter these storages? There are 3 ways. The first is by talking to the NPC Slime in the Monster Treasure Town. You can play this up to 10 times per day and you’ll get 2~3 minutes inside. In this mode, you’ll enter a queue until 4 other players are found and then a random storage will be chosen.

You’ll have to race around the map to collect more mesos than the other players (your total will appear above your head), and you’ll get 3 12th Anniversary Coins if you come in first place, 2 Coins for 2nd place, and 1 Coin for the other three players.

The second is the Mesopresso Storage. Talk to the Moon Bunny Brothers in the Monster Treasure Town with a Mesopresso Storage Key to enter. You’ll be able to choose which storage you want to enter and you’ll get 2~3 minutes inside. You can enter up to 10 times per day this way.

You can get the Mesopresso Storage Key by completing the quest given to you by the Moon Bunny Brothers (collect 20 etc. from monsters, up to 10 times per day), by completing the Random Portal Storage quest (once per character), or through the Pepe Ice Box.

Here’s a video of all of the storages! The event above this uses the same maps but they have more than one player.

The third is the Random Portal Sweep Storage! While hunting monsters, a random portal may appear. Anyone who enters the portal will be sent to a random storage (smaller map than above) for 1 minute.

From 7am to 11pm, every XX:15 and XX:45, you’ll be invited to join the Jump Jump Meso Shower! Along with other users, you’ll be moved into a treasure room where the items above will rain down from the sky for 1 minute.

• Gold Meso Coin
• Silver Meso Coin
• Meso Box
• Scroll Traces
• Pepe Coin
• Pepe Ice Box

In one run, you can only collect a maximum of 3 Pepe Coins, 12 Pepe Ice Boxes, and 15 Scroll Traces.

As you can guess from the Pepe Coins above, the new Pepe Coin Shop has opened!

You can spend your Pepe Coins to buy any of the above items. Some of the new items are the Night Sky Damage Skin, Bubble Bubble Slime Chair, Soft Sheep Hat and Orange Mushroom T-Shirt.

The items marked in red are not available in Reboot World.

Monsters around your level will also be dropping Pepe Ice Boxes!

You can open them for a variety of prizes.

• Strong Flame of Reincarnation
• 5% Clean Slate Scroll (not available in Reboot World)
• 60% Chaos Scroll (not available in Reboot World)
• Ice Bars
• Mesopresso Storage Entrance Key
• 5 Reindeer Milk
• Scroll Traces
• 5 Sunset Dew
• Portal Random Transformation Potion
• Pepe Coin
• Personality trait items

The Ice Bars this year are different, they all give 5 attack and magic attack but have different Special Potential (8% critical rate, 2% all stats, 4% HP and MP, or 4% attack and magic attack).
