A Follow-up Update regarding Additional Options and Inner Ability

Dear Maplers,

Following the recent situation revolving around Additional Options and Inner Ability in KMS, we would like to provide an update to you regarding this.

We wish to express our sincere apologies for all the anxiety and confusion that may have been caused by this situation and from the lack of updates from us.

We would like to announce that we have prepared the following tokens in gratitude and recognition of the support and love that all of you have shown to MapleStory.

Exchange Tokens for Flames used for Additional Options

Resurrection Flame Points will be given according to the amount of Resurrection Flames that have been consumed since 1st February 2019 up until 0859hrs (GMT+8) 3rd March 2021.


We have confirmed that under the previous Additional Option settings, STR appeared more often than other available stats, which put other classes going for non-STR main stats at a disadvantage.

Therefore, if you have used Resurrection Flames on equipment that could only be worn by a specific class, we will give you 103%, 106% or 109% of Resurrection Flame Points instead of 100%, depending on the class that can wear the equipment. Please see the table below for details.

1. Resurrection Flame Points will be given accordingly based on the Tradability of the Resurrection Flames which you have used. Non-tradable flame types are categorised as A, while Tradable flame types are categorised as B. The corresponding points for each type of flame is illustrated in Table 1.1 - Resurrection Flame Points Table.


2. Flames used on equipment that can be worn by all classes will be rated at a flat 100% rate.


3. As Pirates’ main stats are divided into STR and DEX according to their individual job specifications and difficult to distinguish, we applied 103% flame points rate to all DEX-type pirate equipment.


4. Flame consumption records will be checked across all worlds/servers in the entire MapleID, but you will only be able to claim the Flame Points in a single world only. Please note that all Resurrection Flame Points will be rounded up to the nearest decimal place.

  ➢ The selected world cannot be changed, and all items can only be obtained once per MapleID. Any character can be used to receive the reward regardless of character creation date.
  ➢ After selecting the world, you can select and receive each item at a character that you choose.
  ➢ The item's expiry date will be activated from the moment that the item is received.


5. Click on the Maple Administrator NPC located in Henesys and major towns and select ‘Talk to Maple Administrator’ to claim your desired item in exchange for the flame points that you currently possess.

* Exchange period: 24th March 2021 (after server check) to 4th May 2021, 2359hrs (GMT+8)

Exchange Tokens for Miracle Circulators used for Inner Ability

1. Miracle Circulators will be given according to the method that the circulator was acquired for all circulators used between 1st February 2019 up until 0859hrs (GMT+8) 17th March 2021.
   
   The final revision to Inner Ability was reflected during the server check of 17th March 2021 and hence selected as the basis. (Miracle Circulator consumption records will be checked across all worlds/servers in the entire MapleID, but you will only be able to claim the Miracle Circulators in a single world only. Please note that all Miracle Circulator Points will be rounded up to the nearest decimal place.)



2. Click on the Maple Administrator NPC located in Henesys and major towns and select ‘Talk to Maple Administrator’ to exchange for a Miracle Circulator Coupon.


3. Every Miracle Circulator Point obtained entitles you to exchange for 1 Miracle Circulator Coupon (30 days, Inter-Account Transactions only). Double-click on the Miracle Circulator Coupon to obtain Miracle Circulator (30 days, Untradable) x1.

* Exchange period: 24th March 2021 (after server check) to 4th May 2021, 2359hrs (GMT+8)

Note: Exchange cannot be done with characters that have yet to complete the 'Awakening to Abilities' Quest.
