The Marks We Leave Behind and To Classic Beginners officially start at 12:00 AM UTC on October 21, but servers only open at 6:00 PM UTC, so in practice both are available from launch.

The Journey Begins - daily check-in

Who: characters Lv. 10 and above. Where: Maple Administrator.

  1. Accept ‘[Event] The Journey Begins’ from Maple Administrator.
  2. Monsters Lv. 10 and above can drop Maple Leaf.
  3. Trade 30 Maple Leaves to Maple Administrator to claim that day’s reward.

Once per day, per account. Rewards follow how many check-ins you have completed, not the calendar - missing days doesn’t reset you. Claim Day 1 on Monday, come back Wednesday, and you get Day 2. Each day’s reward can be claimed once per account, so alts don’t double-dip.

Check-in Reward Conditions
Day 1 Snail (Pet) Untradable, expires Nov 18, 11:59 PM UTC, cannot be revived
Day 1 Pet Food x30 Tradable within world, 30 days
Day 1 Red Potion x30 Tradable within world, permanent
Day 1 Blue Potion x30 Tradable within world, permanent
Day 2 Safety Charm x3 Untradable, 7 days
Day 3 Blue Potion x20 Tradable within world, permanent
Day 4 Regular Store Permit Untradable, 7 days
Day 5 Return Scroll - Nearest Town x5 Tradable within world, 7 days
Day 6 Megaphone x3 Untradable, 7 days
Day 7 Cake x20 Tradable within world, 7 days
Day 8 Atmospheric Effect Box x3 Untradable, 7 days
Day 9 Blue Potion x20 Tradable within world, permanent
Day 10 Safety Charm x3 Untradable, 7 days
Day 11 Cake x20 Tradable within world, 7 days
Day 12 Regular Store Permit Untradable, 7 days
Day 13 Megaphone x3 Untradable, 7 days
Day 14 Item Megaphone x2 Untradable, 7 days
Timing math: the event spans 29 calendar days (launch day is partial, and Nexon doesn't say when the daily reset falls) and you need 14 check-ins, so you can miss roughly two weeks and still finish. Most rewards expire 7 days after you receive them - claim the store permits and megaphones when you'll actually use them.

The Marks We Leave Behind - the Mark of the Beta

Who: characters Lv. 25 and above. Where: Jay, in Henesys.

Accept ‘[Event] The Marks We Leave Behind’ from Jay, then follow the quest’s clues around Victoria Island to a hidden treasure: the Mark of the Beta. Runs until November 18, 11:59 PM UTC.

Datamine, not release notes: our client datamine lists the Mark of the Beta as a hat with +1 to all stats, +15 DEF, and 7 upgrade slots. Nexon's notes don't give its stats, and they don't say whether it is per character or per account - we'll update after in-game verification.

To Classic Beginners - rings for test players

If you completed either of these quests during Closed Online Test #1 and/or #2:

  • ‘[Event] A Strange and Familiar Wood’
  • ‘[Event] Beyond the Unknown’

you receive the Classic Beginnings Label Ring and the Classic Beginnings Chat Ring by Mailbox. Completing the event in one test gets one of each ring; completing it in both tests gets two of each.

Halloween Candies - and the Pumpkin Basket

Who: characters Lv. 10 and above. When: Oct 28 - Nov 18. Where: Malady, in Henesys and Kerning City.

  1. Accept ‘[Event] Halloween Candies’ from Malady.
  2. Monsters Lv. 10 and above can drop Halloween Candies.
  3. Bring 100 Halloween Candies back to Malady.

There’s also a hidden mission: hand the candies out to children around Victoria Island. Its reward is the Pumpkin Basket, tradable within world and permanent.

Pumpkin Basket Nexon’s release notes Our pre-launch datamine
Type One-handed Sword 1H Sword
Attack Speed Fast -
Weapon Attack +27 +24
Speed +3 +8
All stats not listed +1 STR / DEX / INT / LUK
Enhancements 7 7 upgrade slots

The two sources disagree on Weapon Attack and Speed. The datamine comes from a pre-launch client, so treat Nexon’s numbers as current until someone checks one in-game.

Slime Attack

Who: characters Lv. 10 and above. When: Oct 28 - Nov 18.

Orange Slimes appear in Henesys, Ellinia, Kerning City, and Perion and can drop:

Drop Conditions Effect
Halloween Candies Untradable, expires Nov 18, 11:59 PM UTC Counts toward Malady’s quest
Red Malady’s Candy Tradable, permanent Recovers 600 HP
Blue Malady’s Candy Tradable, permanent Recovers 450 MP
Green Malady’s Candy Tradable, permanent Restores 300 HP and 300 MP

The two events stack: slimes in town feed the candy count for Malady.

GM events

Shared rules for all three:

  • When the GM opens the Event Door, talk to Paul at Lith Harbor to enter.
  • You can’t enter if you own a Scroll of Secrets or joined a GM event in the past 24 hours.
  • There are several rounds and rooms fill fast - if you miss one, try the next round.
  • Everyone who takes part gets an Event Trophy.
Event UTC Pacific Format Time limit Scroll of Secrets to
Jump-quest challenge Oct 22, 12:00 - 2:00 AM Oct 21, 5:00 - 7:00 PM Jump quest 15 min everyone who completes it
Coconut Harvest Nov 6, 12:00 - 2:00 AM Nov 5, 4:00 - 6:00 PM Two teams knock coconuts from trees 5 min the winning team
Up And Up Dec 19, 12:00 - 2:00 AM Dec 18, 4:00 - 6:00 PM Three stages of ladders and portals 6 min everyone who reaches the last stage

Special rules:

  • Jump quest and Up And Up: default movement and jump only - Haste and Teleport are disabled and consumables have no effect. In Up And Up, a wrong portal can send you back to the start.
  • Coconut Harvest: melee only - ranged attacks and skills are disabled. Harry sells melee weapons inside the event map, so Bowmen and Magicians can still play.

Scroll of Secrets and the Magic Box

  1. Take your Scroll of Secrets to Chun Ji at Kerning City Construction Site and complete his quest for a Magic Box.
  2. Give the Magic Box to Mr. Pickall in Kerning City for one random item from the list below.

Remember the catch from the GM-event rules: holding an unspent Scroll of Secrets locks you out of the next GM event. Exchange it before then.

All 61 possible Magic Box items

Materials and consumables (23): Screw x5, Black Sack, Gold Ore x10, Diamond Ore x10, Black Crystal Ore x10, Elixir x15, Pure Water x30, Watermelon x30, Red Bean Sundae x30, Ice Cream Pop x30, and x15 each of Bronze, Iron, Mithril, Adamantium, Silver, Orihalcon, Garnet, Amethyst, Aquamarine, Emerald, Opal, Sapphire, and Topaz Ore.

Scrolls (38) - 19 types, each in an Intermediate and a Greater version:

Slot Scrolls
Overall Armor DEF
Topwear DEF
Bottomwear DEF
Shoes Jump, Speed
Earring STR, DEX, INT, LUK
Gloves Attack, Magic Attack
Shield DEF, Evasion
Cape HP, MP, STR, DEX, INT, LUK
