The first patch of the You & I, ORIGIN has been released! It includes a lot of changes to the game’s basic systems and battle systems as well!
Oh yeah, the homepage updated so there’s a small teaser of what the third You & I update,The SEED will bring. It’s supposed to include the dungeons with new challenges.
Elite Monsters have been added. If you meet certain conditions, an Elite Monster will appear! They are two times as large as regular monsters and they’ll have increased health, damage, and experience. They’ll use one of a random set of skills.
When defeated, Elite Monsters will drop enhanced rewards of the monster it was, and if its level 110 or higher, it will also drop Rare~Epic equipment, Cubes and Flames of Reincarnation, Golden Hammers, or Protection Scrolls.
Elite Bosses have also been added! If you meet certain conditions, an Elite Boss will appear. When they do, all other monsters will disappear and only Elite Monsters will remain. When an Elite Boss spawns, all nearby maps will receive a message showing which map it is in.
After defeating an Elite Boss, a bonus stage will trigger. In this bonus stage, you can get a large amount of experience and mesos, Rare~Unique equipment less than level 120, various Cubes and Flames of Reincarnation, Additional Potential Stamps, Epic Potential Scrolls, or Protection Scrolls.
The Rune system has been added! After certain periods of time, Runes will spawn in fields. By pressing <Space Bar> (NPC Chat) on a Rune, you will be given an input command to enter in order to gain the effects of the Rune. You cannot use any other Runes until 10 minutes has passed. Runes have a variety of effects, but one common one they have is that they will give you 2x experience for 2 minutes. In addition, depending on the type of Rune, you’ll get one of the following:
Rune of Speed: for 2 minutes, your speed and attack speed will be increased
Rune of Energy: for 2 minutes, you will heal 10% of your HP every second, gain 20% resistance to elements, and receive 20% less damage from monsters
Rune of Decay: Instantly kill any enemies around you and for 2 minutes, gain 50% damage
Rune of Destruction: for 15 seconds, all monsters’ HP will be reduced by 10% and for 2 minutes, gain 50% damage
The display of damage effects has been changed. In the options you can now choose between the existing and new damage effects. It basically makes damage ‘fade out’ by moving up and becoming smaller. It also applies to damage taken.
The level up animation has also been updated! Thanks to Spadow for the gif~
Combo Kill and Multi Kill systems have been added. When you kill 3 or more monsters in one skill, it counts as a Multi Kill, and when you kill many monsters in a row, it counts as Combo Kills. Based on your Multi Kill and Combo Kill streaks, you’ll receive bonus experience from monsters.
Party bonus experience has been increased. Instead of being in only specific maps, party play bonuses will now be available in all maps! If you have 2 or more members in a party, your bonus experience increase proportionally. It will range from 125% to 275% based on the number of party members.
If your party attacks the same monster, its experience will be increased in proportion to the number of party members, up to 3 people. This system will be restricted or reduced in certain content however.
A simple party matching system has been added. In level appropriate maps, a party invitation message will appear. You can choose to use or not use this system in your options.
Field monsters’ health and experience have been increased. Any monsters below level 100 have had their HP increased by 2x and their experience by 1.2x. Monsters above level 100 have had their HP increased by 2~9x and their experience increased by 1.2~4x.
The period of invincibility after being attacked has been reduced.
Your damage to monsters will now be affected by the difference in their level and yours. If they are lower level than you, your damage will be increased by a certain percentage but if they are higher than you, then your damage will be reduced.
The maximum stat cap has been raised. You can now have more than 999 in one stat. Any characters above level 197 (194 for Evans, doesn’t include Demon Avengers) have had all of their AP reset.
Skill Changes
Based on the changes to monsters’ HP and experience, instant kill skills have been adjusted.
Ice/Lightning Archmage – Extreme Magic (I/L): chance of instant death has been decreased from 15% to 10%
- Ranger – Mortal Blow: chance of instant death has been decreased from 15% to 10%

Zero – Advanced Earth Break: chance of instant death has been decreased from 20% to 10%
Zero – Advanced Storm Break: chance of instant death has been decreased from 10% to 5%
Soul Weapon – Get out of my Way
Other skills that have instant kill effects but have not been changed may be adjusted or replaced in later balance patches. These include:
Dual Blade – Final Cut: this skill has a long cooldown, so the instant death usage is low
Mercedes – High Kick Demolition: chance of instant death is low
Luminous – Absolute Kill: 100% chance to instantly kill an enemy is the main concept of the skill
Marksman – Sniping: 100% chance to instantly kill an enemy and no cooldown is currently the concept of the skill. By collecting data after the patch, effect might be changed.
Captain – Headshot: see Sniping
- Wild Hunter character card effect: chance to activate is very low
Some hunting maps’ terrain has been changed. Some areas have been temporarily closed.
- Cursed Forest
- Nautilus Waterfront
- Florina Beach
- Mushroom Kingdom

- Leben Mine – level 81~85
The quests in these areas have had their starting levels adjusted accordingly. All quest experience has been increased, now if you want to level up fast, hunting while doing quests will be the best way!
Grandis’ world map has been added. Do you guys see what I see? A new area called Miu Miu! It of course has to do with the Anima race and EunWol.
EunWol and Rang’s village is actually called the Pointy Ear Fox Village, haha.
Aswan Liberation War, Spiegelmann’s Strange Gallery, Ariant Coliseum, Monster Carnival, and all minidungeons have been temporarily closed. Some content’s required levels have been changed.
- Meisterville - level 35
- Hekaton - level 60
- World merged party quests - level 70
- Pyramid - level 80
- Mu Lung Dojo - level 120
- Root Abyss - level 125
- Monster Park, Monster Park Extreme - level 100
- Normal/Chaos Zakum - level 90
The Devil Balrog can only be fought by those level 65 to 100 now, but no skills will be restricted. In addition, his drops have had their stats increased. The two types of shoes give 3 to all stats, 1 attack and magic attack, and the weapons will give the same as a regular weapon but have an additional slot.
Zakum’s prequests and conditions have been reorganized. You can now fight Zakum in all channels, and the Zakum expedition has been deleted, you must now enter with a party. Anyone level 50 or higher can talk to the job advancers in El Nath to be instantly teleported to the Door to Zakum. They will also give you Zakum’s All Cure Potions.
Easy Zakum‘s HP has been increased by 2x. Normal Zakum‘s HP has been decreased to 1/4 of what it used to be.
You no longer need to do stage 1 or 2 of the Zakum prequests (they give only experience and mesos now), Adobis will give you Eyes of Fire and Eye of Fire Fragments. You can now only enter Zakum’s altar twice per day, regardless of mode. Easy/Normal/Chaos Zakum’s entry limits now reset at midnight.
The Maple Tutorial has been added! It is available for users level 10 to 140, and will recommend quests, maps, and content based on your level. Quests recommended by the tutorial can be automatically started remotely, and you can also teleport to any recommended maps or content instantly.
The shortcut button below the minimap has been removed, you can now access that content through the new notification icon system which was added in a previous patch.
The scroll enhancement system has been changed. You can now use Scroll Traces to upgrade your items (I mentioned these in my last post from some events but I didn’t know what they were for, this is it!). These Scroll Traces can be found by hunting monsters level 20 or over, or by disassembling scrolls.
The higher the level of your equipment, the lower the success rate and the higher the amount of Scroll Traces that will be used to upgrade your item. These upgrades will take up slots just like regular scrolls but will not destroy your item if they fail. You can still use any other regular scrolls on your items if you want to.
A level 120 weapon gets 7 attack from the 30% scroll option. I’ve seen a Kage staff getting 5 magic attack from the 30% option, the level 120 Desperado getting 7 attack, and an Aluminum Bat getting 3 attack. The 30% option for a Root Abyss top (bowman) gave 7 DEX, 120 HP, and if the item has been upgraded 4 times it gives an extra 1 attack.
Additional Potential will only appear on items that already have regular Potential now.
Equipment under level 100 have had set effects added! The set effects are based on 20 level intervals:
- 2 items: 20 defense, magic defense, accuracy and avoid
- 3 items: 1% HP and MP
- 4 items: 1 stat and 1 attack/magic attack
So equipment level 10-20 will give the above, level 30-40 will give 2x the stats, 50-60 will give 3x, etc. I think this is a good change to make lower level equipment useful!
Field monsters’ equipment drop rate has been decreased. The selling price of equipment under level 110 has been increased. The fees to identify potential on equipment less than level 120 have been decreased. Equipment levels 30~70′s fees have been reduced by 75% and equipment levels 70~120′s fees have been reduced by 50%.
Dropped items now have a special effect to show the rank of the potential, this means you can now see the rank of an item’s potential without having to identify it!
Honor level has been removed. You can now reset your Inner Ability by using your Honor experience, and you can use it even if your Ability is Legendary rank. You can also use your Honor experience to lock an Ability’s rank or stats. The cost of resetting will depend on your rank and if you decide to lock the rank and any lines.
Current Circulators and Miracle Circulators will work the same as they do now. All Honor has been reset, but any characters from before this patch will receive 500 Honor experience for each Honor level they had.
Meisterville now has herb and vein farms for every type of herb and vein (except the Heart Stone/Golden Flower/Secret and Legendary Herbs or Veins)! In addition, the entry limit has been removed and you no longer need tickets to enter.
You can now put any consumable boxes on quickslots instead of having to manually click them one by one. (thank you based god!)
The account buddy system has been added! Now, when you add a friend, you can choose for them to be listed as an ‘account buddy’, meaning all characters in the same world will share that person on their buddy lists. You can change your existing buddies into account buddies by right clicking on them and choosing the option. All account buddies can be given a nickname.
All buddies can also be given a memo, so you can like remember who they are I guess.
A new system called offline login has been added. Now when you choose a character and put in your 2nd password, you can choose to ‘connect privately’, meaning your friends will not receive a popup that you logged in and you’ll appear offline in their buddy lists. You can also change your status while being logged in by clicking the option in the buddy window.
In accordance with the above two things, the buddy UI has been updated! Almost all the buttons have been moved into the right-click menu and you can now give nicknames to any account buddies you have.

The Minigame Station is finally open and will stay open until January 15.
The Minigame Station is a place you can go to by talking to Gemdi, the rapping dog. Here you can play a multitude of minigames! They work like all the new events, you join the queue and wait until there’s enough people to play.
The first game is a new one, called Maple One Card.
I’m not gonna say I know anything about it, but it LOOKS like Uno? Maybe? I have no idea. But there’s a bunch of cards and some are Maple themed and it looks sorta cool.
After the game, you’ll get Chestnut Coins and Boxes based on how many people were playing and your rank.
Second up is the Mesoranger game.
I’m gonna assume you guys already know how this one works, you chose a difficulty and work together with other players to pilot the Mesodizer by inputting commands when they appear.
You’ll get Coins and Boxes based on the Mode that you chose and the rank you got in the end.
There’s one we all know and love, Maple Omok!
For those of you that are uneducated about the topic, Omok is a game in which you face someone else and try to get 5 in a row on a board while blocking the other person’s moves. Look, they used the updated UI finally! It’s been in the data since Big Bang haha.
For this game, if you win you’ll get two Spin the Wheel Tickets, one if you lose, and both players will get 1 if it ends in a draw.
Another one of our favourites, Match Cards is available to play!
Play against another person and try to get the most matched pairs of cards. Again, look, updated UI!
This one has the same prizes as Omok, two tickets if you win, one if you lose, and one for both if its a draw.
Finally, there’s Spin! Spin! Spin the Wheel! which was used in a previous anniversary.
Using the tickets you gain from playing Omok and Match Cards, you can spin the wheel for prizes! Landing in the orange will give you a Chestnut Box, the pink will give you a Thinner Thinner! Wheel Box, and the purple will give the Jackpot Jackpot! Wheel Box.
The Chestnut Box can give one of the following:
- 60% Miraculous Chaos Scroll
- 60% Chaos Scroll
- Silver Potential Stamp
- 1 Day White Magician and Snow Riding Coupon
- Chestnut Coin
- 5 All Cure Potions
- Mysterious Love Letter

- Baked Potato or 5 Chestnuts
The Thinner Thinner! box can give some chairs as well as the Action Book: Moonwalk Instructions, which lets your character do the moonwalk if you input the chat command /moonwalk!
The Jackpot Jackpot! box can give more chairs, as well as the Impactive Damage Skin.
Finally, there’s a bunch of achievements you can do for all of these minigames. They’ll give a certain amount of Coins if you complete them.
- Maple One Card
- Clear 10 times – 5 Chestnut Coins
- Clear 50 times – 10 Chestnut Coins

The next event is the Bingo for Everyone!! event and it ends on February 12.
Every 10 minutes from 8am to 10pm, you’ll be invited to play with 5~100 other people! It will play out like any other Bingo game, Gemdi will yell out numbers and you’ll have to cross them out on your board.
However, only the first 30 people to call Bingo will win!
For participating, everyone will get one Spin the Wheel Ticket.
You’ll also get a certain number of Chestnut Coins based on your rank (10 coins for 1st, 5 coins for 2nd~5th, 3 coins for 6th~10th, 1 coin for 11th~30th).
Something we’ve all been waiting for a long time (although I’d prefer it to be permanent) is the Cash Wardrobe Item Moving event! It runs until January 16.
It’s very easy, you just go into the Cash Shop, put any item you wish to move over into the Cash Storage, right click and choose the option Move through Account. It will then let you choose one of your characters to move the item into that character’s Cash Storage.
I know for sure it works with equipment and pets, so it probably works for most if not all items.
Finally, the Mileage Shop Grand Opening! event will run until December 25. All Maplers will receive 5,000 Mileage for free (once per Nexon account)!
