2. Start the artifact hunt

This quest won't be started until you go killing mobs and loot some enchanted rock looking thing.

Then, a lightbulb will appear and Gaga tells you that you need a permit to go artifact hunting! He talks a bit more, saying that he'll give you points whenever you hunt monsters and get the artifacts a.k.a. shiny rocks and you can trade these points for rewards.

 

5000 points - 2011 Artifact Hunter medal
10000 points - 2011 Artifact Hunt Gift Box
30000 points - 2011 Archaeologist Hat
40000 points - 2011 Archaeologist Face Paint
50000 points - 2011 Archaeologist Glasses

Set effects goes like this:

Moreover, be the top 10 and receive an even awesomer medal. The ranking for this is calculated on every Sunday 5-6pm, and there's 2X point on weekends apparently. So all the best! The points are shown at the top whenever you loot up a shiny rock.

At every stage, he gives you some kind of boost.
1000 points - 2X points
5000 poits,  Relic Cheer buff (WA5 MA10 Speed15) and a choice between the glasses and hat
Every 10,000 points - he gives you the 2011 Artifact Hunt Gift Box

The permit Gaga gives you will expire, so keep going back to Gaga when it does. Each permit you get is an hour!

2.1 Artifact Hunt Contest, 8 Mysterious Treasures
Shuang tells you to find 8 mysterious treasures hidden in the artifacts and return them to their owners. These mystical artifacts can only be obtained from the Unknown Relics (shiny rocks) and only those who checked then Artifact Hunt Contest announcement daily can participate. What does she mean?

When you've looted an shiny stone with a mysterious treasure in it, lightbulb will appear, and you are told to report to whomever and you'll get exp according to your level!

1. A Petrified Mouse to the Maple Admin
2. Gaga's Lost Glasses to Gaga
3. Cassandra's Ball of Crystal to Cassandra
4. Shiny Wrist Watch to Maple Admin/ then to Corba
5. Soccer Cleats to Maple Admin/
6. Book of Completed Quest to Maple Admin
7. Feminine Head Band to Manji in Perion
8. Old Admin Shoes to Maple Admin

That concludes all 8 mysterious treasures! Shuang will now present to you your very own 2011 Legendary Artifact Hunter medal.

Lastly, the Random Leveling Event!

Ok so the name is not really that, its just that if you're lucky, you'll have a chance to level when you pick up a shiny rock! Like this!

You'll get just enough exp to reach your next level. Sweet.

[MSEA] Technological Age: Mining and Accessory Crafting

So before this Technological Age patch, you should have already received a lightbulb on your head telling you to see someone in Ardentmill, so here's that person! Tada!

Talk to him, and he'll tell you more about the professions you can choose, particularly the combination. So for my Wind Breaker, I chose Mining + Accessory Crafting cause I want to reserve Herbalism + Alchemy for my main!

Light bulb appears again, tells you to reach Lv. 7 by 30th November and get an awesome gift!

" Upon leveling your harvesting profession level to level 7 you will receive the following rewards.

1. Herbalist – Special shovel and herb bag.
2. Miner – Special pickaxe and mineral bag.

Upon leveling your crafting profession level to level 5 you will receive the following rewards.
1. Alchemist – Secret Potion Recipe & Energy Drink.
2. Blacksmith – Lv. 110 Glove Crafting Recipe & Energy Drink.
3. Accessory Crafting – Lv. 110 Face Accessory Crafting Recipe & Energy Drink."

So really, Cole gives you a Pickaxe, and he teaches you to press the harvest key to mine. And then he sets you off on your first mission, to mine Faded Silver Ore at the next map through the portal on the bottom right!

Next, you'll move on to smelting! Go back to the map and mine a Faded Silver Ore, and open the Profession thing using the Profession key. And get a Basic Mold from Nack too.

Haha I think its really cute! After you're done, Cole will give you a Cole's Mineral Bag 1 for you to put your mined items in. And you're done!

Next, we shall learn Accessory Crafting with Intaglio(cool name)!
Its not much, as long as you have the necessary items you can craft any accessory from the list! The necessary items are like plates and ores, which can be gotten from mining and NPC Nack, the guy who sells everything haha.

So that's all for Mining and Accessory Crafting! I do believe its rather easy to reach Level 7 and Level 5 respectively, so all the best!

[MSEA] Chaos is here to stay: EXP TIME!

Well, who's up for lots and lots of EXP?

Part of the Chaos Madness Event is the Boom Up EXP Event! (19th Oct - 30th Nov)

Different level range will be getting the respective bonus EXP as below:

Lv. 1 – 29: EXP +100%
Lv. 30 – 69: EXP +50%
Lv. 70 – 119: EXP +20%
Lv. 120 – 200: EXP +10%

That is, during a specific timeslot, weekdays 2pm to 5pm, weekends 12pm to 5pm.

And then there's the November School Break Celebration - 1.5X EXP and Drop Rate Event!

1.5x Drop rate:

1.5x Exp:

Whee! And because of the 10% EXP boost to Cygnus Knights character, whenever my Windbreaker levels it gains an additional 10% EXP? Which means I only need 90% to level up.



And I agree with some who say on the forums, Cygnus Knights highest level is 120, so why speed up the process? Maybe to get more people to be interested in starting Ultimate Adventurers? Well, it does benefit me, cause I'm trying to get my Windbreaker to level up 40 times under the Chaos Warrior Challenge!

For that, speak to Gaga and he'll tell you to level your character by 40 times by 30th Nov. For levels below 40, you gotta level to 80. From 41 onwards, you are to level 40 times. So the easiest would be leveling from 40 to 80. The rewards are to die for! Plus they are tradable once within the account.

Well, although the KoCs' rewards ain't all that great, I can't say I'm not having fun spam leveling.

Happy leveling!

[MSEA] Chaos is here to stay: Halloween Event Part III

We're down to the last quest: The Last Halloween Night!

What to do? Once you enter the portal, you'll see Maid. She'll tell you that Joey is waiting for you and tells you to hurry along to find him. (Frame room, middle portal of narrow corridor, then click the drawing of Sophilia)

And wow fat load of gifts you get! And no sacarsm intended!

Sweet, except that I already have a wa4 Witch's Deep Purple Belt from last year's Halloween Events.

I like the ring though, the zombie looking thing looks really cute. Hmm Zombie Army. Maybe when you press a little button zombies will appear and surround you!

There you go, Oliver's Chair. It looks like a demon slayer, with its wings and all, eh? Haven't been catching up on news in other servers though. Maybe I shall!

Happy Halloween!

[MSEA] Chaos is here to stay: Halloween Event Part II

So. I collected all of them! It was so terribly hard, but now that most people are already done with this quest I doubt the map will be as crowded as before. So we head on back to Lyudmilla to continue on our quest! (Oh you get a cute little masked gentleman hat upon completion of this)

Preparation for the Party - Tuning of the piano next!

Really, I have no idea how to proceed with this quest. I tried killing the Busted Dolls but it seems like they didn't swallow it. Will update again!
_
So it ain't the busted dolls! Its in a Doll Workshop above the Chimney!

So you through the portal and up, and kill the destroyed dolls till they give you the tuning hammar, then go to the piano in the main hall (1st level). And you can go start on Sophilia's quests!

Sophilia's strange behaviour: she's fearing the same thing that happens every Halloween Party. Hmm what is it? So she tells you to get Big nail (from hitting boxes in the Doll Workshop map) and Doll stuffing (from killing Destroyed Dolls at the Doll Worshop map) and tada.

A broken clue. So, Sophilia tells you to check the wreckage of the carriage (remember the old newspaper?). The carriage is at the Abandoned Graveyard (remember the Jack-o-lanterns and Graveyard Stirge?) Click it, and alot of ghosts will appear. Rid them all, click the carriage, you'll get the clue: A Deer Emblem.

After going to Sophilia, she will tell you to go to see Lyudmilla about the emblem. If I were her.. quest. She talked something about how its from Blatchford? After obtaining that teeny weeny information, go back to Sophilia and start on The Revealed Emblem!

So we go on to the Frame room to check out the faceless photo of "John Blatchford". Refer to previous post on how to get to the frame room! Apparently someone tampered with the photo, so go back to Sophilia to tell her that. And move on to If I were him..!

Go check out the butler in front of the fireplace chimney thingy on the 3rd floor of the main hall. The Talisman for Sophilia starts! Go to Guest room 2 (top right corner) and bring Pumpkin Knight's Talisman to her.

And start on If I were Joey... Its gotta do with the brooch in the attic, and some Joey in the Hidden Room. You get there by going to the frame room and clicking on some Sophilia's picture. There is an arrow pointing at it. And you meet Joey for A Deal with Joey! (Duh) His request is rather weird....and he looks like Crayon Shin Chan!

Source: http://zidaneex.blogspot.com/2011/01/crayon-shin-chan.html

Anyway you're supposed to go to any hair salon in town and pick up a clump of hair on the floor. I couldn't find it at Henesys's hair salon, neither in Singapore. I ended up finding it in Kerning's hair salon. Wheew. There, it looks like that.

Joey will tell you whatzup with the contract with the devil and what 100 souls to the devil per year etc. Off you go to Sophilia to start Burning the Invitation quest! Because the Masked Man is evil, I must rid the invitations by sneaking into the Masked Man's room! What a mission! (LOL) His room is the last room in the narrow corridor, which has always been locked till now.

Its a jump quest OMG.

Stand on the books and all. I suck terribly at jump quest and I'm so relieved that its so short! So once you're done, go through the portal and you'll go to the Masked Man's room and take the Masquerade invitation! But you won't be able to pick it up, so you are to go back to Sophilia. (Please don't let me go through the jump quest again!!)

Jonas's plan will appear as a lightbulb! Off to ghost room 4 (extreme right of 2nd floor) to kill fire steeds, get 20 invisible cloth (which really, is white in colour) and go find Jonas! (At the doll workshop) He'll give you a transparent mantle to cover the piano with it! That's for Getting rid of the piano.

But it doesn't work cuz the piano is still there! Our mission failed! Stupid magical piano, go find Jonas to tell him that! He'll tell you to go find evil Joey for help at the hidden room. The final mission. The last mission. It better be!! This string of quest is soooo long.

Quest Special Item for Deal. So the price of asking evil Joey for help is Sophilia's hair. Seriously, what's with this guy and his fetish for hair?? After getting her hair to him, he gives you an Evil Hammer to smash the mask. I can't help laughing here. Evil hammer?? Really??

Whew you're to go to the Masked Man's room so you gotta pass the jumping quest part. I did it! On my first try! So relieved. Click on Gloomy Mask to start Plan into Action, the 2nd last quest! You smashed it with your Evil Hammer, man! I'll have to wait for tomorrow to do the last quest: The last Halloween Night.

Pfft what a long day! Hope this helped lots!

[MSEA] Chaos is here to stay: Halloween Event

Chaos has finally docked on MapleSEA's port and there is a torrent of changes and events for Maplers! And when I mean a torrent of events I really mean it. So lets start from the Halloween Event! (19/10 - 7/11)

Haunted mansion is back, and to get there, accept the invitation to haunted mansion on the lightbulb above your head and proceed to Mirror of Dimension. There's a daily chain quest in there, and there you go, you just finished quest "An invitation from Haunted Mansion".

When I first started, its really confusing because its a mansion, so there's tons of rooms and portals and you have to get to specific locations!

For quest "Preparation for the party - Cleaning up the library", you are asked to go visit Ludmilla in Jonas's room.

Just enter the portal at the right of Masked Gentleman of the 2nd floor (in the huge map named: Mansion Main Hall) and you'll go to Narrow Corridor. Jonas's room is the first (out of the 3) portal you see. Ludmilla would then tell you to go somewhere to kill 44 Rideword P, which is the portal on the bottom right of the map. They're rather simple to kill, around 7-8 times of "999" damage each.

Strange attraction - Old newspaper, click the light bulb on your head!

And when you head back to the library, an Old newspaper NPC will be there. Talk to it and you'll start to know a little about the mystery. Something about a fatal accident outside the Haunted Mansion on November...

You can start on the next day's quest if you missed it out! So here goes: Preparation for the party - Cleaning the guest room. Head back to Jonas's room and find Ludmilla/ Lyudmilla and she'll tell you to eliminate Ghosts in Guest room 3 (extreme left of second floor). There's always this arrow pointing to the right portal to guide you along the quest, how considerate!

Really, there's Green Phantoms. Once you're done and talked to Ludmilla, you've have the lightbulb quest thingy again! So go back to Guest room 3 and talk to the Mysterious Graffiti. So the mystery continues, its drawn in red and you can't understand it and it freaks you out. Hmmm.

There, next, the dress quest! Ludmilla requests you go the attic to fetch it, which is the extreme left portal of Jonas's room. You'll see a dress chest. Stand near it and click it once and you'll trigger the safety thingy. Ghosts will appear and you've got to kill all of them before you can hit the chest to open it and obtain the pretty blue dress of Lyudmilla's. There's Preparation for the party - Party Dress for you!

Same thing, lightbulb again and head on back to the attic for Strange Attraction - Old Brooch. And you'll find out that there's words engraved on it "Death, is like a contract for you and me. And to prove it forever..."

Preparation for the party- Lightings goes like that. Lyudmilla will tell you to get 5 candles. To obtain this, head on to the top left hand portal (Guest room 1) and kill the Busted Doll and some will drop Halloween Mansion Chest Keys. All you have to do is drop the key in front of the chest and the candle will appear! Like this:

Back to Lyudmilla, then Strange attraction - Faceless photo in the Frame room, which is the middle portal beside Jonas's room's portal. (Faceless photo actually sounds a little scary to me!) Story goes like this, a name "John" behind the faceless photo. Whutzup with that?! Then Masked Gentleman appears and rebukes you for your constant curiousity.

Preparation for the party - Decoration.

That's the portal left of the Entrance of Haunted Mansion. And its full of people telling you to cc. So I did and I'll wait for when there's less people!

What I learnt, there's alot of things to do if you're preparing for a party! And you could do the quests as a party, those that you have to kill a certain number of monsters. Its faster like that.
Well, it goes on and on, with the same pattern, I guess! Shall update when I've finished all of them! I'm actually curious about the mystery now man!

[MSEA] Sept/ Oct events!

Well, this post is a little late. There are a couple of updates, and there's Chaos coming to town in 4 days!

Saving Gaga event
Previously, Grandpa Moon Bunny at every town would bring you to the map to save Gaga, but now, you have to go to the event map (via the Mirror of Dimension at every town) and find NPC Naomi.

Then you get to save Gaga through a jump quest. There are a few tricky parts that you have to take note, especially at the end where you have to jump onto the platform Gaga is on, or you'll fall down and have to repeat the entire course!

After you save Gaga every 10 times, you get a happy ring and subsequently random rewards. Scrolls for the ring, I suppose? The glitch where you can get as many rewards as you want have been fixed already.

Scroll the happy ring and you'll be happy! How corny does that sound. 1 happy ring per character, if I'm not wrong. The exp after every round is according to your level.

Next event on the list is..Oktoberfest Celebration Event!

So, to get a ticket to go into the Beer tent from Joyce, hunt 40 malt and give it to her. You can enter the Beer tent map with the ticket!

Inside the Beer tent map there's low-level (1x~3x) drunken monsters and Milla will give you quests to eliminate 40 of each monsters and you'll get rewards! The first time will be a German Sausage Hat which has wonderful stats, but alas is available for limited time!

It makes one look like a huge goon when wearing it though, its worth the laugh! I do think the Beer tent map is really nice too, it looks perfect for a fancy tea party~

And there's new seal cushions too! In addition to the "legendary" pink and blue seal cushion, there's grey and gold seal cushions from the Great Halloween I-Gacha. All the new items, check them out @ http://maple.asiasoftsea.com/news_events/view/the_great_halloween_i-gacha/!

That's all, folks!

[MSEA] September events

Hey all, september events are here! There's quite a lot, I must say.

1. Portrait of a Popular Monster

Requirements for "Portrait of a Popular Monster" 

So this Interesting Dye, Mysterious Dye, or Magical Dye can be obtained from all monsters. Depending on your level, you'll get either a Orange mushroom portrait, Octopus portrait or a Yeti portrait. So all you have to do is to double-click on the portrait in your ETC to open it and drag the dyes to the portrait.

Step 2 - 5. Step 1 is a blank canvas.

If I'm not wrong, you need 10 Mysterious Dye to complete each step or 5 Magical Dye for each step. I'm not sure how many Interesting Dye you'll need though. So after you're done, take it to Cassandra and she'll present you with EXP and a gift box which contains Maple leaves!  So far the amount I got from the boxes are 500, 600, 800. If you have 1000 Maple leaves, you can trade it for a Golden Maple Leaf from Cassandra.

Or another way for obtaining the Golden Maple Leaf and Maple Leaf is at the Maple Tree Hill!

7/9 Update: There's some bug that makes you disconnect everytime you place dye on the portrait. I suppose they're going to have to solve that bug soon!

Update: That has been corrected by the 11.30pm - 12pm server check and maintenance. Yippee

2. Maple Tree Hill

Source

A rather familiar event, I must say. Enter the Maple Tree Hill by through Cassandra, and provide NPC Armi (inside the map) with Sunshine to make the Maple tree grow~ When the bar is full, the tree will burst/boom/explode whatever you call it and you can loot the Maple leaves.

There are glitches though, where sometimes the tree "booms", but there are no leaves to loot and one fella comes along and is surprisingly able to loot ALL the leaves. It ain't hack, because it happened in quite a few similar events before, the Christmas snowflake event to name one. According to forums, its just that the drop lags and that fella who just came in and is not affected by the "lag" will be able to see the leaves but the rest are not. But you can see the person looting, which makes many go "HACKER! F5F5F5F5F5" and all.

But if a person is just sitting there and all the leaves fly to him, that's a different story. Vac hack I suppose.

So, what are the Gold Maple Leaves for? That brings us to Inkie!

3. Who is Inkie and where is she?!

NPC Inkie resides in a quiet town named Henesys. She's to the right of Gaga, below Chief Stan and to the left of Cassandra. She lets you exchange your Gold Maple Leaves for 3 items!

The 3 items you can switch for!

Well, you could collect this to sell, I suppose.

Master Spirit Pact Pendant

Ultimate Spirit Pact Pendant

Meh the pendant doesn't look all that nice right! Anyway someone was asking pendant was better, I would think that comparing between the 2 (and if you don't have any other awesome pendant), the Ultimate Spirit Pact Pendant will be the one to get, since its WA/MA is higher.

4. September Everyday Event!
The name of the event sounds rather corny though. It does, however, bring out the meaning that there's going to be awesome events everyday~
