[name=1][header]What is the Evolving System?[/header]
Gelimer made an experiment to let Lotus to leave his test tube. When Lotus was free, he attacked Orchid and left her almost dead. When she recovered, she left the Black Wings and joined the Resistance. Claudine tells you about this, and you are asked to go to Gelimer's Lab to find out information.
You can change the maps and monsters around by gaining cores from the shop or by drops inside the Evolving World itself. There are cores for monster level, hp, spawn increase, skin, background music, the background itself, party exp, extra monsters, drop rate, ores and herbs, potential equips, and armor and weapon drop increase. The stronger the monsters, the more EXP they give (level and HP)

[name=5.1][header2]Unique Cores (Different Shapes)[/header2]
Unique Cores are cores that are shaped differently and require you to unlock the slot via a mission to insert them, you may get the mission from Vendor C-2.
Currently there are unique cores of
[*]Party EXP (5%)
[*]Monster Population (50%)
[*]Drop Rate (20%)
[i]Unlocking these slots[/i]
To unlock them, you must purchase the Cores "Mission Added - Evolution System" and "Mission Added - Accelerator"
The Evolution System missions unlock the regular shaped three locked ones.
The Accelerator unlocks the irregular shaped locked one.
[name=6][header]Empress Shoulder & Bossing[/header]
[b]You can get a variety of bosses from the Vendor C-2 and by looting them from inside your Evolution World.[/b]
[b]Empress Cygnus drops the Empress Shoulder, you need 600 Coins to unlock her from Vendor C-2.[/b]
[s][b]Remember she is a one time use like every other core so I will suggest even if you are "pro" you bring along some friends because of the 30 minute time limit.[/b][/s]
[*]Empress isn't really that hard in the system. I still highly recommend bringing along someone because my friends have went in to solo (successful before) but have disconnected so that wasted 600 coins.
[*]She can damage reflect and all so I also suggest Soul Stone, Final Feint, Heaven's Door or Resurrection handy.
[*]She heals, but not all the time and most of the time not near 2 times
[b]Minions have chances to drop any equip (except weapons, including capes)[/b]
[header2]Drops for Other Bosses[/header2]
That are useful/important to note... -Bosses can be bought from the Vendor C-2, some may be farmed by looting-
Manon drops Manon Crys
Griffey can drop stuff for Hero's Will quest
Pianus drops Miniature Pianus'
Minions drop Empress equipment at low chances (pretty low without buffs/familiars)
Empress drops Empress Shoulders.
[name=7][header]Unlocking Links[/header]
To unlock a link in your Evolution World (Links 6-9) you need the core.
You may buy the 'Mission Added - Link 6 Access Error' and 'Mission Added - Link 7 Access Error' from Vendor C-2.
You may also get every mission from drops, to unlock the link however, you need to insert the core, go in and complete the quest for the error.
You accept the quest and collect 50 Error from monsters around the Evolving System (all)
Then you have to leave and go back in to actually get in to the Link.
[name=8][header]Medal Evolution Master[/header]
[b]Evolution Master [/b]
If you use 500 cores, invite party members 35 times, and have been other players' party member 35 times, you will be considered an Evolution Master.
Evolution Master: Medal - Required Level: 100, STR/DEX/INT/LUK +6, Weapon/Magic ATT +5
103 Comments • Newest first
@Higguz Yeah, unless they changed that. I haven't exactly tried EXP cores lately, but the first few times I used them because I wanted to use 500 cores (medal) they did not give any bonus.
Do the exp cores only work when you are with a party?
@xDerek Basically, yeah. Everything in ES is pretty much the same, timing, dmg, level, etc.
@janny1993 Yup, it's a medal, I need a title too PvP ones aren't too good
@TehResisting: the Evolution Master is a MEDAL right? Not a TITLE right?
I want a good permanent title, I hate how all the titles from Miwok are temporary
^Yeah, I wasn't sure if I should add the drops or not (Level 100-110 armor/100-120 weaps).
@HappyTraderr wtf do you mean
T~T
Grats Gee on pro guide.
@puretppc Yeah, it stacks.
Purple ones are irregular shaped, they're the [Unique Core]s. You have to purchase the 150 coin Accelerator/Evolution System to unlock more slots. (Evolution System unlocks regular ones, Accelerator is for unique cores).
I'm not sure if it counts as party play, but in party's you generally get more EXP, along with the Party EXP cores. Level in a party should be the party leader's level (160 max).
@TehResisting: Oh I see. I'm trying to train my Kanna though. Does it stack when you use the 20% core + Kishin?
Also, for some reason, I can only access the pink cores not the purple ones. How do I get to use the purple ones?
For party play, is it built in normally to be party play zone? Also, what's the general level for those mobs?
Sorry for asking too many questions but I really like your guide
@puretppc Aliens would be better unless you had a pt of Kanna/Priest or Bishop along with 70%+ Monster Population, and/or x10 or so Monster HP and could kill as fast as aliens.
I think level is your level + the level of cores if you have any of those.
Is NLC Aliens better or Evolving World at level 100?
Also, how are the mobs in Evo world level scaled?
@Segumisama One entry counts toward the limit, so every party member will have an entry counted towards their five.
Question: if you are in a party does it count towards your daily 5-entry limit for everyone in the party, or only the leader?
@AnthonysWill Well, I heard from another GMS person that Cygnus healed with the help of the Mutant Ribbon Pigs (Like VL with Mini Castle Golems), but I'm not sure, one run Empress didn't heal at all and the other run Empress healed at 1/2way.
@TehResisting
How do you prevent her from healing?
omg empress is such a scam, 2 runs and no shoulder yet
edit: 3rd run and dr killed me i crai
@TehResisting: But we still have to buy the 600 coin Cygnus summon sadly per run
@dotdotdot96 I believe it is.
@puretppc If you use the core and dc while inside, the core is used up and wasted. [Once you unlock a link, you have unlocked it forever].
@TehResisting: Oh ok. If we Dc then we lose the core link too right?
Is Shadow Empress's damage reflect the same as the Normal one?
@Deadly1337 Yeah, slowly finding them out
@puretppc You get the Link 9 Mission Core from drops, and you spend 600 coins for Empress herself or you loot it, you don't need to spend 600 coins if you loot it/600 more coins if you buy it. Unless you die and the core is used up.
@TehResisting: But you still have to spend 600 coins for some other item that summons it in the map? That's what I heard but I hardly know anything about it.
i got a couple unique core 25% drop rate and +70% monster population , didn't see that on the guide so ye =]
@puretppc You need to get the Link 9 core, put it in, do the quest while inside Evo World and after that, it's unlocked forever. Then you can put in the empress.
@TehResisting: So we need both 600 coins and the link 9 core to fight Cygnus?
@puretppc Empress can be bought for 600 coins or looted (Very low). Link 9 Access Error is from looting.
@TehResisting: Nice. As for Empress in Evo world, how do I get the Link 9 besides for 600 coins?
@puretppc it's free lol. Yeah Nexon only added Blackheart, there are supposed to be 3 different ends but there's only one now :x
@TehResisting: Wow I must be stupid that I never really used it. Does it require mesos though to reveal?
Also, as for Dimension PQ, for some reason, the PQ ends after Hilla's Pet. In the notes it said that there are three bonus stages but I only see one.
http://maplestory.nexon.net/news/updates/update-notes/00FuU#dimensioninvasion << Boss Battles there's 3 listed instead of Hilla pet alone.
@puretppc Ever since traits were out, when you get level 30 insight, you get it instantly though.
@TehResisting: When was this Magnifying Glass icon released?
You sir, are the best.
@Butterring No, but the monsters like Empress and her summons should have a chance of dropping them.
@Darkwizzie Yeah, more EXP if you kill the monster with more HP, but too high will take too long and the EXP may feel slow.
@puretppc I believe you mean at the bottom like Fusing and Extracting, you get to reveal potentials for free without the need of a magnifying glass if you reach level x with insight. 0-29 has none, 30-59 is for level 30 and under, 60-89 is 70 and under, 90-100 is all or 120 and under, not sure.
@TehResisting: I see Magnifying Glass icon (3rd icon) in my inventory but I dunno what that does or if it has anything to do with evo world.
Is it proven higher hp means more xp?
@TehResisting: oh thanks
can you make the monsters in the evo world drop MMB?
@puretppc No it cannot, the patch notes said "- Lv.100 Tempest equipment (epaulet, ring, pendant, belt), with hidden Potential"
@TehResisting: Oh I see. I noticed that only Accessories for Tempest can be obtained. So Armour can't be obtained there?
@puretppc Yeah, the core is like a x2 drop/exp event and isn't a buff so it can't be cancelled out.
Thanks! Added to my scraps.
@TehResisting: Also, does Evovling world core that adds drop rate stack with everything else including event + big spider?
@bannanna: no it goes off after a while but it comes on every i think 20sec and stays on for at least a minute or so based of my experiences i could be wrong
@bannanna Nope.
@puretppc Yeah, and if you look at the potions and stuff, they stack with other untradeable ones. There's plenty of proof so they're obviously permanent.
@FireBoy67 I think they don't, but I haven't tried it out tbh, I can get back to you tmrw though.
@TehResisting: It really makes sense that the items inside don't expire. How could Nexon compare old Tempest Ring vs new Tempest Ring for instance? Same for Branch Noses, especially since they're really old items.
I mean, they gotta have expiry dates on the item. What about the ability to fuse them too? Expiring items can't be fused.
Overall, I would hope Nexon doesn't expire them on April 23. If they do, they'll probably lose a lot of money since people wouldn't dare cube them if they know it expires.
thank you for this post it helped clear up tons of my questions
[quote=TehResisting]@Evenings Level, HP and Party EXP (for party) will increase EXP. Also 2x events, coupons etc. Vendor C-2 is in the Evolution Lab (Place you are before enterring the world/After clicking Evolution Lab in Dimensional Mirror). The monster drag thing in Link 3 will always be there, it's special for the map.[/quote]
Is it possible to keep the monster dragger activated forever?

Nice, but i have a question about increasing exp, What core do i use in order to make exp higher? having a hard time is it based of hp? also where is the vendor who sells this i can' find him lol? and monster magnet thing in link 3 i think will it is always be there?
