The newest update for MapleStory M expands its roster with the arrival of Kaiser, a half-dragon and half-human warrior. He brings to the battle a two-handed sword that’s sure to turn heads. His arrival to the game also means a new Grandis area with new monsters.
As a Nova Warrior, Kaiser can fill up his Morph Gauge by performing special attacks or doing combos. Once this gauge is filled up, Kaiser can enter his true form making him almost invincible for a short period.
Limited-Time Events
To celebrate the arrival of Kaiser, there are limited-time events for everyone:
- Kaiser Burning Event

- The event lasts throughout the entire month of June and is the same as the existing Monthly Attendance Sheet.
In addition to new content, the amount of EXP that players need to level up is adjusted particularly in leveling up between levels 35 and 220. This should make it much easier to finish guide missions. Players should also be glad that compensation rates have been increased to support equipment growth. Lowered as well is the cost for the weapon and armor Star Force 1 to 10 enhancement.
Legion System
The new update also introduces to the game a new Legion System. This lets players assign occupation areas to their characters and get bonuses for their other characters. It actually works similarly to the current existing Maple Tree Festival System. Finally, Hunt and Collect requirements in Quest are reduced for overall advancement improvements in the game.
