Returning player, whatd I miss?
Hello everyone! I've decided to come back to maple after about a 2 year hiatus. I stalked the updates while I was gone and slowly realized I was missing the game a lot, despite my general hatred for MMO's. Is there anything new I should know about maple? Things to go after when merchanting? Bossing? Items? I plan on making a Hero or Paladin starting from scratch.

Ah alright. I'll stick with hero then, love the look of Raging Blow. Are cra/tyrants still the go-to equips?

Explorer classes got revamped to balance out the newer classes receiving their necessary buffs.
Release of the Zero class, the first tag-team 2h-sword warrior class where you control 2 characters in one. Also the first class to be created starting at level 100.
[b]January 2014 - "Chase, The Beast Tamer":[/b]
A new class, Chase, the Beast Tamer was released. This is a mage class that uses animal friends to assist in battle. This class is based on modes where you can use Cat, Bear, Snow Leopard, and Hawk which have different personalities and are used differently depending if you want to be supportive or offensive.
[b]June/July 2014 - "Rising Heroes":[/b]
Release of Shade, the forgotten Pirate Legend using animal spirits as an aid to their fists.
[b]August/September 2014:[/b]
The continuation of the Cygnus revamp finishing with Blaze Wizard and Night Walker revamp. The skills have been changed and the max level has been changed to 250 from 120.
[b]November 2014 - "Star Force":[/b]
Equipment enhancement scrolls are now obsolete with the new Star Force system allowing you to reach stars on regular equipment up to mainly 12 stars prior to booming. [Low level equipment has a maximum of lower stars] Special equipment such as tyrants boom much earlier. This system also has the chance to drop in the amount of stars.
Release of Star Planet, a smaller world where you can play the event mini-games such as one-card all the time for special prizes and bonuses.
Reward Points were introduced in this patch, these points are acquired by killing bosses and special daily tasks as well as reach certain levels. These are used in the cash shop for rewards shop prizes as well as being able to use them as a 30% discount on most items if they are eligible.
[b]April/May 2015 - "Black Heaven":[/b]
[i]New Boss: Lotus[/i]
A new storyline that unlocked the currently new hardest Boss Lotus, the brother of Orchid a member of the Black Wings. This also has another set of equipment arguably better than the CRA set but has not been yet proven, though it's said CRA set is still better.
In between Nexon has been doing more events such as more frequent 2x, Spell Trace fever[additional success rate chances to scroll items with Spell Trace], Miracle Time[additional chances to raise potential tier when cubing with cash shop cubes and double tier ups]. Most maps at this point have been revamped and everything you know and have come to love pre-bigbang is no more. Monster levels and HP have been adjusted to the new level ranges as well as damage ranges and party-play in maps such as Lionheart Castle, Strong Hold, Hall of Honor are no more.

Play what you like(tm).
Luk > Str > Int > Dex
If you're planning on getting far, they're all pretty much gonna be around being just as expensive. All class can pretty much hold their own. Classes will always get nerfed/rebalanced at one point or another anyways. So if you enjoy something, play it.
If you can't choose between classes, pick the one you think you will enjoy the most. If you didn't like it as much as you thought you did, choose the next one. Rinse and repeat.[/quote]
Thank you for this!
