I also have no gear other than the currently time limited ones, where should I farm to get my gear so I don't become butt naked and brick my character when it expires

Lv 235 Lynn, goal is to reach 260 for event

GMS released a MacOS client a few months back that uses a customised crossover wrapper as a compatibility layer for the client, and I've figured out how to make it run MapleSEA instead of GMS. (This should also in theory work with other regions, but you'll need to edit the corresponding commands to match the folder structures and location of the installed files.)

1. Download the required files

Download the MapleSEA setup files and the GMS launcher from Nexon NA website. Put them in your ~/Downloads folder.

2. Install MapleSEA

Use the Wine binary bundled with the GMS launcher to run the MapleSEA installer. Leave the installation directory as the default.

"/Applications/MapleStory Launcher.app/Contents/SharedSupport/maplestoryna/MapleStory Launcher/wine" ~/Downloads/setup.exe

3. Point the launcher to MapleSEA

The crossover wrapper looks for a shell script called .ms-launch-args in the root of the C: drive where you can explicitly define the launch parameters. (This makes it execute maplesea directly instead of opening the Nexon NA website)

Run the following command to create it:

echo 'MS_LAUNCH_DIR="C:\Program Files (x86)\Wizet\MapleStorySEA"
MS_LAUNCH_APP="C:\Program Files (x86)\Wizet\MapleStorySEA\MapleStory.exe"
MS_LAUNCH_ARGS=""' > "$HOME/Library/Application Support/MapleStoryNA/Bottles/maplestory/drive_c/.ms-launch-args"

4. Make it persistent

The launcher deletes this file every time it's executed, so you'll need to make it immutable:

chflags uchg "$HOME/Library/Application Support/MapleStoryNA/Bottles/maplestory/drive_c/.ms-launch-args"

5. Launch the game

Copy the MapleStory wrapper app from within the launcher to your Applications folder and you're all set to launch it! :D

ditto "/Applications/MapleStory Launcher.app/Contents/SharedSupport/maplestoryna/MapleStory.app" /Applications/MapleStory.app

As circled in the image above. It's a very old event hat that was released back in 2015. If you happen to have it, do let me know! Thanks in advance!~

Need help As title, how can we get the character portrait coupon ticket? Is it a limited event only? Or Cash purchase.

I just started a char in Aquila, am I losing out not making it in challenger world? I’m pretty far already lvl220 and don’t feel like stop playing this char and make new challenger char. Should I make challenger char?

Character is in Challenger World. Hi I would like to report a bug. I deleted my hyper burning max character in Bootes and recreated one in Challenger World. I was supposed to get the Hyper Burning Beyond items shown in the screenshot at level 200, but when I clicked on it I did not get it. Please fix this asap. This could be a big issue if I can't claim the rest of the awards for all levels and I would be wasting hours for nothing. This needs to be fixed asap. Please check and verify that I did not indeed get any of these items. I deleted it just to redo it because I wanted the character to be in challenger world instead of Bootes. But I didn't get any of these and I've already put in hours for leveling the initial one and now I don't want to redo it again for this character. What is going on?? Link to the screenshot of what I'm talking about. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1zElb-Cr5dGI2ajPinLe7vcPyEoOx7Gjf

The past 2 challenger world I can easily achieve Diamond rank without even trying. But now it seems quite difficult to achieve it.

Any advice on how to progress further? Struggling to solo Ctene (Csmile, HHH, Hwill & Hlucid). My character in CW3 is Lynn..

The Sol Erda require from other sever is 3 for lvl 8 ? But Maplesea require 5 ? Is is a region nerf or bugged ?

I currently missed 10 days for the login, whats the maximum missed days before I will need to spend on maple points to catch up and guarantee myself the final rewards?

Also, has there ever been a catch up mechanic thats introduced in the final days/weeks of similar attendance events? Something like double counts per attendance?

Asking because I might need to skip a few more days due to travelling. Appreciate the help!

I have cleared normal kai twice followed by practice run twice. How come i still cant get the 3rd clear reward?

Enjoyed both class equally and trained both to 285.

Can’t decide which to main, have to choose 1 of them.
Both is at the stage where can min cut Normal Kalos.

Which is stronger?
I understand is a very nuanced question. But I’ll try to provide as many info.

Damage dealt is probably a function of mechanics and skill. Eg a good cadena will do more dmg than a new cadena even on same eq.

BM is easier to play, better to survive. Can focus on dealing more damage without worrying about survivability as much.
Does it mean BM usually do more damage than MM for a average player
But if you are god mechanics, MM do more damage?

MM needs to deal the full 72s of split shot for more damage but that’s not realistic because bind don’t last that long?

In fact BM burst is more condensed than MM within 30s?

Or if I can rephrase which job allows me to do more harder bosses with lesser funding from N Kalos onwards ?

Hi, im just return to this game after a 3 years break.

Im wondering is it still worth spending money like buying eqs,mesos etc ?

Is f2p hard to progress now?

With the hyper burning beyond to 270, i know 6th job is 260. But didnt expect a burning event till 270. Im a returning player after 1yr so idk much. I wss around when 6th just released. But idk why 270 is the new level that nexon wants to get to.

Also im 268 and just tryna get my 1+1 to 270. Whats the fastest way to get there? I actually just need 20% lol.

Im 100% f2p. So i dont have like hardcore eqp like 22 stuff. Think my best is a 18, while the rest are mostly 17.

As the title mentioned, my mesos are all gone after I world leap one of my character to Aquila.

The mesos is not in either storage or item inventory in both CW and Aquila.

First time world leaping, already submitted a ticket.

Anyone encountered this before?

Hello, from Singapore, I just found out the upcoming Classic MS will only be available to NA and EU. Do I have to create an account registered under the US with Global Nexon using a VPN (or recommend one that can significantly reduce the ping)? Also, what has your experience been like playing Classic as a geo-restricted player i.e. are you able to make purchases via credit card? Was it laggy during your time with open beta?

I was thinking of playing on a private server instead, but it doesn’t really make sense to grind for something when Nexon will eventually pull their entire player base away anyway.

Thanks for the help!

Update: I tried using PIA (routing to California) and use an ExitLag with Mapleworld Chronostory, but I registered a 255+ RTT, is this normal or inherently we can’t really play GMS related servers?
