Xenon, the first Hybrid job and newest Resistance character has been added! Xenon features new systems as well as stat usage, and has a great story to boot!
In addition, a couple of new systems and special Cash items have been added that may interest you~ They also increased the maximum number of character slots to 21.
Here are the two world selection screens for this patch.
There were some extra changes this patch. They added an experience penalty if you fight monsters above your level, from 21 levels above to 31 levels above (that is, you will start losing exp when they are 21 levels above you and the penalty will grow as their levels are higher, up to 31 levels above you).
The new class, Xenon, can now be created! To celebrate Xenon’s opening, everyone receives a free character slot!
However, Knights of Cygnus creation has been temporarily restricted. What could this mean… an incoming reorganization for them? We know they’ll be receiving Hyper Skills, but they might be receive a large overhaul as well!
A letter was sent out to Maple Club Henesys members that stated Empress Cygnus’ true powers have been awakened, and the Knights of Cygnus will receive a large reorganization in January! I think this might be related to Root Abyss, because at the end of the story, Alice the World Tree goes to rest in Ereb.
When creating one, you first choose between male or female. Then you can choose between the Xenon Type and the Suu Type (for males) or the Orca Type (for females). You can also choose whether or not you want Generate Marks on your character.
In Xenon’s tutorial, you see him as a young child, playing with the future Resistance instructors. However, soon Gelimer kidnaps him and for many years, his friends have no idea what happened.
Xenon is finally completed, and is being tested when the Resistance break into Gelimer’s lab, given information by the recently betrayed Orca. Xenon is sent to stop them but begins to remember strange events upon seeing Claudine. He realizes that his memories have been taken from him and chooses to escape with the Resistance in order to regain them!
Beryl, another one of Gelimer’s androids, tries to stop him but the rest of the Resistance appear and they escape. Beryl is a recurring enemy in the Xenon storyline, but I believe that they wish to be friends sooner or later.
Xenon uses a new weapon, called the Energy Sword, as well as his secondary weapon, the Controller.
He also has a unique Power Source slot, which can hold either existing Android hearts or new Hybrid Hearts for Xenon only. Therefore, Xenon is the first character that can wear two Android hearts at the same time~
Xenon uses a secondary mana system called Surplus Supply! Over time, Surplus Energy will be charged up and can be consumed for certain skills. Skills that use Surplus Energy will have a blue flag on the skill icon. In addition, for each Surplus Energy stored, you will gain 1% all stats.
For each job advancement, you will unlock 5 more Surplus Energy (1st job: 5, 2nd job: 10, 3rd job: 15, 4th job: 20).
Xenon is also the first character to use three main stats, STR, DEX, and LUK. In each job advancement, he has a skill called Multilateral which gives him bonuses for each of these stats. However, this skill only takes into account base stats, not stats from equipment or skills.
STR gives Stance, DEX gives resistance to statuses and elements, and LUK gives avoid rate. All three together give him increased total damage.
Finally, Xenon has the Multi Mode Linker system. From second job onwards, certain skills will have different modes, each with a different effect. To change the mode of your skill, you have to hold down the skill key then press Multi Mode Linker. This will show you the three different modes of the skill, and then you’ll have to press left, right, or up to choose.
You can also press the mode button in your skill inventory but that takes much more time.
Xenon’s character card gives 5/10/20/40 STR, DEX, and LUK. It acts as both a thief and a pirate, so you can put it in either set that you need!

Thanks to Fiel of Southperry for the skill effects and icons!
The Meso Market NPC, Warena, has been added to the Free Market! What does she do?
You can trade mesos for Maple Points! She sells them for bundles of 100 million mesos, and there is a fluctuating exchange rate. In the picture above, you can trade 100m mesos for 527 Maple Points! There’s also a 10% transaction fee.
In game, in my world at least, it’s 100m for 290 MP.
The item inventory has been updated to show your current Maple Points. There’s also a new button the bottom, for the new…
Bits system! The Bits system requires you to collect Bits Cases and Bits to put inside them. Each Bits gives a small amount of stats and also gives set effects if you have enough of them, but the Bits’ stats will only apply if you put them inside a Case.
You can only have one Case active at a time, and they have different sizes so you might not be able to fit your entire Bits set into a smaller Case.
I’m not sure how to get Bits Cases (they were given to me for free from Cassandra) but you can buy Bits Boxes from the Unlimited Shop which will give you a random Bits.
Let’s get into the Cash Shop now. New Squirrel pets have been added, I think they’re a bit creepy… haha.
The new Platinum Miracle Cube has a higher chance of raising ranks than a Master Miracle Cube (I think GMS calls them Super Cubes?).
These are Premium Pet Equipment scrolls for attack and magic attack. They give 4~5 attack or magic attack at a 100% chance.
There are these new Power Elixir packages in which you buy them, receive a certain number of Elixirs, and then gain back the NX you spent in Maple Points. Obviously they can only be bought with NX, although I’m not sure why this exists…
The one above gives 100 Power Elixirs for 10,000 NX (and you’ll get 10,000 Maple Points as well).
There was also a new Cash equip package released, the Xenontic package, which costs 24,900 NX. The special thing about the equipment in this set is that they have stats! Yes, the first Cash Shop equipment to have stats (other than the Aura Rings but who buys those anyways…).
If you wear all four equips together, you’ll get 15 to all stats and 5 attack and magic attack.
Finally, my favourite new addition, the Premium Water of Life, which will revive your pet forever! That’s right, you can make any pet permanent~
EDIT: Sorry guys, my translation was completely off. This Water of Life only lets you skip the quests required to revive a pet, it does not make a pet permanent!
A new world, Aether, has been released. I’m not going to go over the events because they’re pretty standard, but the name of the world and its logo are pretty cool, haha.
The Xenon’s Birth event has begun, and will run until February 15. First off, if you are able to get to level 200 on a Xenon, you will receive a special title!
- 1st: Plus Almighty Xenon (7 attack and magic attack)
- 2nd – 20th: Almighty Xenon (5 attack and magic attack)
- rest: Miracle Xenon (no stats)
At level 50, you’ll receive the Xenon Ring. It gives 3 to all stats, 2 attack and magic attack, and an extra 5 attack if you’re a 3rd or 4th job Xenon.
At level 70, you’ll be able to choose one Special Mastery Book~
To help you level up, at the levels above, you’ll receive an equipment box that gives you an Energy Sword as well as the pirate equipment set for that range.
Finally, at the above levels, you’ll receive a free Electronic Shock Bits Box.
Season 2 of the Winter Achievements has begun. This time the achievements are:
- Spin the wheel 10 times
- Complete 10 attendance checks
- Complete 1 Bits set (not the Orange Mushroom set)
- Complete the Golden Snake event 5 times
- Complete the 2013 New Year event 7 times
- Achieve level 100 on a Xenon character
For each achievement you complete, you’ll get a Winter Achievement Box which can give you Winter Limit coins, scrolls, or the Giant Yeti Chair. If you complete the Xenon achievement, you’ll receive the Charging Required chair~
If you complete all 6 achievements, you’ll get the Glorious Winter title which gives 7 attack and magic attack! It lasts for 20 days unfortunately.
The Spin the Wheel event has been updated with new items, including new flying mounts!
