Liven's Classic Maple GuideAdventure begins again12 legendary event items from MapleStory's history, sorted by how likely they are to reappear in Classic World. Frozen Tuna is already confirmed (it ships with the Snail Founder's Package); the rest range from near-guaranteed seasonal returns to fond long-shot dreams.
Already datamined in Classic World or included in a Founder's tier.
The two-handed sword that looks like a giant frozen fish. Introduced as an April Fools joke and instantly became one of the most beloved cosmetic weapons in MapleStory history.
Confirmed: Bundled in the Snail Founder's Package - the Well-Loved Outfit Set includes it.
Recurring seasonal event item — very likely to return.
One-handed 'weapon' shaped like a jack-o-lantern candy pail. Given out during the annual Halloween trick-or-treat NPC event where you'd whack ghosts for candy.
Expected: Halloween is the most reliable seasonal event window - if Classic World lasts through October 2026 (it will), this basket is near-guaranteed.
The classic carved-jack-o-lantern hat. Wearing it turned your character into a walking pumpkin from the neck up.
A miniature decorated pine tree perched on your head, complete with tiny star topper. Runs every December.
A dagger that's literally a full-sized decorated Christmas tree. Absurd, iconic, deeply festive.
Popper you set off for a burst of celebratory particles. Anniversary event staple - everyone spammed these on the Free Market entrance stairs on server-birthday day.
The etc-item that dropped from a giant cake mob during Nexon's game-birthday events. Trade it in for stat scrolls or the cake weapon.
Victoria Island tie: Cake mobs typically spawned in Henesys Market for the summer anniversary window.
The friendlier Halloween pumpkin hat - smaller, cuter, more of a beanie shape.
Would love to see it back but no confirmation yet.
The one-handed sword shaped like a fluttering red maple flag. Handed out during the earliest GMS event promotions - THE souvenir weapon of the game's first year.
Hoped: Perfect thematic fit for a 'Classic World' launch giveaway.
Victoria Island tie: Widely equipped by first-time visitors arriving at Lith Harbor in 2005.
Awarded via GM-hosted in-game events (jump quests, boss hosts, GM-thrown-at-mob spawns). Vanishingly rare on the aftermarket - a true collector's badge of honor.
Hoped: Depends on whether Classic World revives the GM-hosted event tradition. Fingers crossed.
Victoria Island tie: Most GM events staged in Kerning City subway, Henesys Hunting Ground, or Ellinia's tree canopy.
Darker sibling of the Pumpkin Hat - a full pumpkin shell with a menacing carved face. The Halloween 'edgelord' hat.
Long shot — regional exclusives, deep-cut retro items.
American flag polearm handed out during GMS Independence Day events. US-region flavor at its purest.
Dreamed: Regional cosmetic events like this are unlikely in a global-first Classic World, but a fan can dream.
Items in the Hall of Fame that have a specific Victoria Island tie - events staged in Henesys / Kerning / Ellinia / Perion, or memories rooted in the mainland's earliest days.

The Hall of Fame is community-curated - a MapleStory memory library, basically. If we're missing your favorite iconic item, open an issue or PR against src/data/hallOfFame.ts. Include the WZ ID (searchable via maplestory.io), the event/year it came from, and a short blurb on why it matters.
