MVP Membership Renewal

MVP Ranks

New MVP ranks have been added.

• MVP Red: requires 1.5 million Nexon Cash spent in the last 3 months
• MVP Black: requires 3 million Nexon Cash spent in the last 3 months

These new ranks will give you Royal Packs and Gift Packs that correspond to your monthly rank. More information below.

These new ranks will receive the same benefits to Star Force enhancements, Maple Auction, and Fairy Bros’ Daily Gift content as MVP Diamond rank.

MVP Only Channels

Two new channels have been added: CH. MVP1 and CH. MVP2. These channels can only be used by users with certain MVP ranks.

• CH. MVP1: can only be entered by MVP Diamond rank or higher.
• CH. MVP2: can only be entered by MVP Red rank or higher.

Gift Packs

The Daily Pack has been removed. MVP Silver and higher ranks will now receive Gift Packs. These Gift Packs can be collected up to 3 times a month, once for each of the 3 different periods of the month.

• 1st Period: 1st~10th of the month
• 2nd Period: 11th~20th of the month
• 3rd Period: 21st~last day of the month

The Gift Pack rewards will be based on your MVP rank at the time of claiming the box. If your MVP rank increases, you can claim an additional Gift Pack that contains the extra items that you would have received. (e.g. if you were MVP Silver on February 20 and claimed the Gift Pack, then got to MVP Diamond, you could claim another Gift Pack that would contain all the items for MVP Diamond minus the items you had in your first Gift Pack).

Here are the items included in the Gift Packs. The MVP 50% Additional Experience Coupons stack with other experience buff effects.

Items that were included in the Daily Packs (which are now removed) and are not given out through these Gift Packs include Mu Lung Dojo Training Centre Coupons, Monster Park Coupons, and MVP Weather Buffs.

Rank Achievement Rewards (Item/Special/Royal Packs)

The Item Packs given for achieving Bronze ranks have not been changed.

The Special Packs given for achieving Silver, Gold, and Diamond ranks have been changed.

• The MVP Special Damage Skin has been changed to an On/Off set-up item.
• You can double click it to activate the Damage Skin. You can check the item’s name to see if it is On or Off.
• If you deactivate it, you will use the Damage Skin you previously had.
• If you apply a Damage Skin Coupon or a saved Damage Skin, the MVP Special Damage Skin will be automatically deactivated.

If you achieve MVP Red or Black rank, you will receive a Royal Pack. These can be claimed once per character, but the Maple Points will only be given out once per month per account.

The MVP Black Chair gives a 30 minute 1.5x Experience Buff to anyone who fames the person sitting in the chair.
