A new patch has been released! It’s basically the same as the test server one, featuring the new theme dungeon in Savage Terminal in Grandis, Detective Rave’s Case Journal! There’s also a couple events including the returning Detective Pepe and a new one, Tactical Relay.

The next patch, which will be the first patch for this year’s winter update, will be on December 13. Look forward to seeing the teasers pop up in a couple of weeks from now!

Each day, you can login and collect 200 Detective Agency Entry Tickets from monsters around your level.

Take them to Detective Pepe to begin an Episode. One will unlock every day of the event at 10 AM and you must do them in order. You can catch up if you miss any days as well.

Every time you complete an Episode, you’ll also get a special reward!

2. 500 Mileage
3. 2 3x Experience Coupons (15 minutes)

Tactical Relay

The Tactical Relay event will run from November 29 to December 12.

In the Tactical Relay event, you must clear 12 stages of missions every day. Challenge them with your characters and complete bonus conditions along the way!

Every day, you can login and see the Tactical Relay UI.

1. Score: your total cumulative score over the course of the event
2. Help: help information about the event
3. Stage Progress: shows your current progress (visually), based on which characters have completed which stages
4. Stage/Mission: list of all 12 stages, each with their own mission (these missions do not change)
5. Bonus Requirements: list of all 12 stages’ bonus requirements, can be either to clear as a specific class or defeat a specific boss (these bonus requirements will change every day)
6. Points/Nickname: name of character that completed the stage and how many points you received for it

Basically, there are 12 static missions. There are also 12 bonus conditions that change every day, one for each stage. When you complete a mission, you’ll get 50 points. If you also complete the bonus requirements, you’ll get an additional 20 points, for a total of 70 points.

1. Kill 300 monsters around your level
2. Achieve 100 Combo Kills
3. Kill 3 Elite Monsters
4. Defeat a Normal boss
5. Kill 300 Star Force monsters
6. Clear Monster Park 1 time
7. Kill 3 Star Force Elite Monsters
8. Defeat a Hard or Chaos boss
9. Kill 300 Arcane River monsters
10. Achieve 100 Multi Kills
11. Kill 1 Elite Boss
12. Defeat 1 Chaos Root Abyss boss (each character can only clear this once per week)

Once a character has completed a stage, that character can no longer complete any other stages for the day. In other words, your 12 stages must be completed by 12 different characters, that’s why it’s called a relay!

The only other restriction lies with stage 12, which is to defeat a CRA boss. This stage is special because once a character completes this mission, they can no longer complete it for the rest of the week. That means if you want to complete stage 12 every day, you’ll need 7 characters that can enter CRA.

Every day, your mission progress will reset, so you can collect more points for the day. In addition, when you complete Stage 4/8/12, you’ll be able to choose an item from a list of rewards.

• Stage 4
  • 2x Experience Coupon (15 minutes)
  • 30% Drop Rate Coupon (15 minutes)
  • 2x Meso Coupon (15 minutes)
  • Storm Growth Potion (free level-up from level 1~199)
  • Personality Growth Potion
• Stage 8
  • 2 2x Experience Coupons (15 minutes)
  • Core Gemstone
  • 2 Selective Arcane Symbol Vouchers
  • Storm Growth Potion (free level-up from level 1~199)
  • Personality Growth Potion
• Stage 12
  • 6 2x Experience Coupons (15 minutes)
  • 3 Core Gemstones
  • 6 Selective Arcane Symbol Vouchers

In addition to the daily rewards, you’ll receive special prizes as you participate in the event, based on your total cumulative score.

• 1,000 points
  • Character Slot Expansion Coupon
  • 7 Day Spirit Pendant
  • Mega Burning Booster (gives a character the Mega Burning effect until level 129)
• 2,000 points
  • Selective 8 Slot Expansion Coupon
• 3,000 points
  • Tactical Relay Chair
• 4,000 points
  • 3 Meister Cubes
  • Typhoon Growth Potion (free level-up between level 200~239)
• 5,000 points
  • Eternal Rebirth Flame
• 6,000 points
  • 10 Strange Additional Cubes (50 Strange Cubes for Reboot)
• 10,000 points
  • 10k Maple Points
• 11,760 points
  • Perfect Tactical Relay Chair

To get the maximum amount of points (11,760) and the super cool looking chair, you’ll have to complete all 12 stages with their bonus requirements for all 14 days of the event.

Here is the schedule for bonus requirements for KMS (I’m not sure if other versions will receive the same ones when they get this event).

Note that although I forgot to put it in the images, you need to solo the CRA boss as the given class for the bonus points. For all the other missions, you can get carried/leech off others however. Make sure to check out the Normal/Hard boss requirements as well, because some of them are weeklies instead of dailies!

In this case, to get the Perfect Tactical Relay Chair, you’ll need a total of 9 characters that can solo CRA. The first week requires 2 thieves/pirates and the second week requires 2 warriors/magicians, so you’ll need 2 warriors/magicians/thieves/pirates and 1 archer that can solo CRA.
