Boss: Lucid

A new boss, Lucid, has been added.

• The Queen of Nightmares, Lucid has finally been unveiled in the City of Dreams, Lacheln.
• You can meet Lucid when you reach the top floor of the Clocktower of Nightmares, by completing the Lacheln area quests.
• Commander Lucid can be challenged in a party of 1-6 people.
• Each person will have a Death Count of 10.
• You can clear Lucid once per week.

Lucid is a level 230 boss, people on Insoya have calculated that her first phase and second phase have have 14.5 trillion HP each. She has 300% PDR and requires 360 Arcane Force (THAT’S CRAZY).

Lucid has two phases. In the first one, she sits on a flower and uses a variety of skills on you. There’s a few summons, a flower attack very similar to Damien’s sword slash, giant dream scythes, and bullet hell butterfly balls.

In phase 2, Lucid teleports everyone to another map where she flies around.

You can see a video of the fight here!

Hungry Muto

New party content in Chew Chew Island, Hungry Muto, has been added. Join forces with other Maplers to create a line of delicious dishes, to help Muto in his fight against Gula!

You can talk to Simia in the Secluded Village Area to enter this content. To enter, you must meet the following conditions:

• Complete the quest ‘Goodbye Chew Chew Island’
• Be in a party of 1~4 people
• Can be cleared up to 3 times per day

The rewards will include Arcane Symbol: Chew Chew Island and experience. The rewards will given out based on your clear record and the challenge difficulty.

• Normal
  • S Rank (5 minutes or less): 3 Arcane Symbols
  • A Rank (8 minutes or less): 2 Arcane Symbols
  • B Rank (10 minutes or less): 1 Arcane Symbol
• Hard
  • S Rank (5 minutes or less): 5 Arcane Symbols
  • A Rank (8 minutes or less): 4 Arcane Symbols
  • B Rank (10 minutes or less): 3 Arcane Symbols

Basically, you have 10 minutes to complete enough recipes so that Muto will defeat Gula (i.e. the green bar at the top fills all the way up). If you do it fast enough, you’ll even get bonus gauge!

Note that you can only hold one ingredient at a time! So if you have 10 of something and accidentally loot 1 of something else, you’ll lose all 10 of the first ingredient, which sucks. Also sometimes there will be a mystery recipe so you’ll have to try out different ones (or just find a list of the recipes haha).

Spiegelmann’s Adventure Express: Chew Chew Food Truck

The Spiegelmann’s Adventure Express Season 3: Chew Chew Food Truck event has begun and will run until September 7.

This time, Spiegelmann has parked his Adventure Express in the Chew Chew Remote Island. In the centre of the island, you will set up a food truck!

As customers come and order food, you must traverse the island and buy the required ingredients using Chew Chew Coins from various NPCs within a certain amount of time. When you return, they’ll pay you in Chew Chew Coins and your Food Truck’s fame will increase.

You can participate in this event up to 10 times per day.

At the top of your screen, you’ll see:

1. Your remaining time. You will have 20 minutes to make as many recipes as possible.
2. Your recipe slots. You can see your current recipes, their required ingredients, selling price, and cooking time. As you level up your food truck, you’ll be able to serve more people at the same time.
3. Your remaining time for the recipe. Customers won’t wait forever! If you don’t finish the recipe in time, they’ll leave and your food truck’s fame will go down.

Also at the top of your screen is your stats.

1. Truck Level: increased when your fame is increased (max level 5)
2. Fame: increased when you successfully serve customers, decreased when you don’t fulfill a customer (if your fame decreases enough, your Truck Level will decrease as well)
3. Saved Coins: the Chew Chew Coins you currently have. These are spent on buying ingredients and also can be traded in for other prizes. You start off with 50 Coins and when time is up, you will keep any excess coins you currently hold (i.e. you will only keep X – 50 coins).
4. Movement Speed: your Dash skill’s movement speed is enhanced based on this level (max level 10)
5. Cooking Speed: your recipe cooking speed is decreased based on this level (max level 10)
6. Customer Speed: your time between new customers is decreased and your time alotted per recipe is increased based on this level (max level 10)

To level up your three Speed stats, you have to find the God of Control NPCs on the island and trade Chew Chew Coins to upgrade them.

You can spend the Chew Chew Coins that you receive on mesos, V Coins, and special food truck chairs.

• 10k mesos – 1 Chew Chew Coin (can acquire up to 5m mesos in one trade, can be traded up to 10 times per day)
• 1 V Coin – 10 Chew Chew Coins (can acquire up to 10 V Coins in one trade, can be traded up to 10 times per day)
• Vintage Food Truck Chair – 100 Chew Chew Coins (can only be bought if your Food Truck level is 2 or more)
• Classic Food Truck Chair – 250 Chew Chew Coins (can only be bought if your Food Truck level is 4 or more)
• Luxury Food Truck Chair – 500 Chew Chew Coins (can only be bought if your Food Truck level is 5 or more)

Mega Burning Project

The Mega Burning Project has begun and will run until September 7.

Like before, when you create a new character during this event, you can choose to make them a Mega Burning character! Note that you cannot burn a Zero, and you can only do this once per world per Maple ID.

Characters can only become Mega Burning characters when they are created. You cannot change your Mega Burning character but if you delete it, you can make another one.

The main benefit of a Mega Burning character is the ability to gain two extra levels per level up. This effect will take place until level 130!

You’ll also receive the Keep on Burning title which gives 100 all stats, 10 attack/magic attack, 10% boss damage, 10% defense ignore, and 400 HP/MP. The title can only be equipped after reaching level 130 and its stats will expire in 14 days.

At level 100, you’ll receive the Legendary Secret Box which when opened will reward you with 2 Mastery Book 20’s, 2 Mastery Book 30’s, and a full Black set.

At level 30, you’ll receive the Level 30 Equipment Box which is self-explanatory.

Finally, when your Mega Burning character is created, it will receive a Snail pet that has 5 hours of magic. It comes with meso loot, item loot, auto loot, and auto HP/MP. You cannot use the Water of Life on it.

The Everyone’s Minigames event has begun and will run until September 7. Every day, from 8am to 10pm, you will be invited to play either Maple Bingo or Everyone’s OX Quiz with other Maplers.
