With less than a week to go for this to come to the real server, Tespia has finally updated with The Seed content as well as many skill changes for the Hero, Resistance, Cygnus, and Nova classes! Read on for more information~

As you can see, The Seed is based on the Wizard of Oz, the girl in the middle is even called Dorothy, joined by the tin man, scarecrow, lion, and I guess… Toto?

800 years ago, when Maple World was on the verge of being destroyed by the Black Mage, the Transcendent of Life, Alicia created a tower under the sea in order to save as many lives as she could.

However, the guardian of the tower cannot control it anymore.

The guardian of the tower installed many types of devices across the many floors of The Seed in order to keep out intruders. Maple Warriors with both wisdom and strong equipment, help Alicia regain control of the tower!

The Seed is available for any Maplers level 100 or over and can be accessed through the Dimensional Mirror.

For every floor you clear, you’ll receive Seed Points. The deeper you go, the more bonus points you’ll get. In addition, every 10 floors will host a strong boss who defend against intruders.

Of course they’re based off the Wizard of Oz characters! I think Dorothy is the final boss, I heard she’s level 210. I’m not actually too sure what a fruity spider has to do with the Wizard of Oz though…

A special enchantment has been cast inside The Seed, preventing intruders and returning them to the lobby. You must use special Hazy Stones in order to protect yourself. You can get them by buying from Glinda for Seed Points or from other Maplers.

For those of you who don’t know, Glinda is the Good Witch in the Wizard of Oz, haha. Anyways, from her shop you can buy:

Alicia’s Damage Skin (300,000 points) [Floor 30 or more]
Dorothy’s Damage Skin (300,000 points) [Floor 30 or more]
Base Damage Skin (50,000 points) [Foor 5 or more]
Snowy Action Book (210,000 points) [Floor 25 or more]
High Five! Manhwa Chair (150,000 points) [Floor 20 or more]
Stamped Premium Hazy Stone (30 points)
Stamped Basic Hazy Stone (90 points)
Stamped Intermediate Hazy Stone (150 points)
Stamped Advanced Hazy Stone (300 points)

I’m definitely loving all these new Manhwa chairs haha.

Oh yeah, along with a whole bunch of new Rings (which give special effects in The Seed) and some medals for various accomplishments in the tower, new level 150 equipment was added. I’m not sure how to get them though…

Aquarius Crown: 1 all stats and 1 attack and magic attack, 22 slots. Tradeable until equipped, can be traded with the Platinum Karma Scissors.
Ocean Glow Earrings: 7 all stats, 5 attack and magic attack, 750 HP and MP, 7 slots. Tradeable until equipped, can be traded with the Platinum Karma Scissors.
Lud’s Sword (2h sword): 165 attack, 45 STR, 35 DEX, 6 slots. Tradeable until equipped, can be traded with the Platinum Karma Scissors.
Light Seeker (bow): 210 attack, 50 DEX, 20 STR, 1 slot. Tradeable until equipped, can be traded with the Platinum Karma Scissors.
Corrupted Alicia’s Staff (staff): 300 magic attack, 50 INT, 50 LUK, 0 slots. Tradeable until equipped, can be traded with the Platinum Karma Scissors.
Alicia’s Brilliance (untradeable): 500 magic attack, 200 all stats, 1 slot. Untradeable.

Zero character creation has returned! Summer 2013 only Nexon? Sure. However, you now need a level 100 or more character on your account before you can create one.

In addition, you can now receive experience, mesos, items, quests and other things from Maple World as soon as you finish Zero’s Prologue and the quest [Maple World and the Mirror World].

Gold Beach finally has a world map haha.
