Cygnus Knight

The Cygnus Knight can now be created from a clean slate, which means that players will no longer need to 20+ level character in order to create the stellar Knight.

Find Party Member Updated

To accommodate the new availability of the Cygnus Knight, the Find Party Member window has been enlarged to allow players to add the Knight into their parties.

New Tutorial

A new tutorial has been added for the Noblesses which is CK-specific

New boss added with many new quests

11 new quests have been added in order to give players the opportunity to fight against the new Balrog boss. Along with these new quests and boos comes new maps and items to be dropped. To add a bit of variety, there are two difficulty settings to choose from: Easy and Normal.

Talking bosses

Now players aren’t the only ones to speak their minds in world of MapleStory. Bosses have now been given the ability to talk, just like all the other NPCs in the game

More titles to give players benefits

Many new titles have been added to give players more perks for accomplishing different tasks. Some new titles to try and obtain are the Outstanding Citizen, Lovely Pet Owner, Monster Expert, and a lot more.

New mini dungeons

Two new mini dungeons have been added to the map, one in Drake’s Blew Cave in Sleepywood, and the other in Red nose Pirates’ hideout in Herb Town.

There are a couple new events going on that will give players the chance to obtain lots of new items, and keep them busy for the time to come.

The Gold Richie events (10/22/2009-12/08/2009)

Gold Richie will be sending players through a few new events which will give them some valuable items to use at their disposal. The first event has players looking for parts to help Richie complete his Golden Compass. Once that is complete, players will then be able to go to his treasure island where they will have to collect golden eggs. Doing this will grant the players the chance to obtain many scrolls, belts, equipment, and the like. But if players find a certain type of golden egg, then they’ll be able to trade Richie the egg for EXP instead.

The second event is one where on certain days, Richie will give out the chance to trade him for odd items. If players are lucky, he might even give out two valuable chairs: the Star Chair, and the Red Chair.

Witch’s Tower event (10/22/2009-12/08/2009

The Witch’s Tower event will give players the chance to win two new items: the Pink Bean Hat, and the Pink Bean Suit. The tower has two difficulty settings: Normal and Hard, but either way, players will get the hat and/or suit by completing it.
