The first patch of the MapleStory Nova update, titled Splash, has been released! It contains the new Spirit Saviour content in Arcana and a few events, including a pre-creation event for the new job Cadena which will be coming on July 6. The MapleStory Nova update will be split over 5 patches: June 22: Splash July 6: Chain of Liberation, Cadena July 20: History, Another Story August 10: ? August 31: ? Here’s the MapleStory update info centre video for this patch. Spirit Saviour Spirit Saviour is a new type of content in Arcane River’s Arcana area where you must save as many trapped Stone Spirits as possible while avoiding multiple monsters who will interfere with you in a limited amount of time. Characters who have completed the “Forest of Regained Harmony” quest can enter Spirit Saviour by talking to the Escaped Stone Spirit in the Spirit’s Tree map. After attacking and destroying a trap holding a Stone Spirit, press the Spacebar key and the spirit will begin to accompany you. If you bring the Stone Spirit to the shining spot at the centre of the map safely, you will receive Rescue Points based on the number of spirits with you (up to 5 at one time). 1 spirit: 200 points 2 spirits: 500 points 3 spirits: 1000 points 4 spirits: 1500 points 5 spirits: 2500 points You will have a certain Armor. If you are hit by the Spirit Remains that spawn occasionally, this level will decrease and if it hits 0, you will instantly fail and the content will end. In addition, as soon as you have a spirit accompanying you, a Poison Spirit will spawn and chase you across the map. If it hits you, you will instantly lose all Stone Spirits accompanying you. The more spirits you have with you, the faster and bigger the Poison Spirit will get. When the time limit is over or your Armor hits 0, the content will end. After the content ends, you will acquire 1 Spirit Coin per 1000 Rescue Points. You can trade 3 Spirit Coins for 1 Arcane Symbol: Arcana. You can enter Spirit Saviour up to 3 times per day. You can acquire up to 30 Spirit Coins per day. If you play in a Premium PC Room on a weekend, you will receive 30% additional Rescue Points and your daily limit of Spirit Coins is increased to 40. Game Related All worlds can now use up to channel 29. The maximum number of character slots has been increased from 40 to 41. (don’t be too generous Nexon!) The Maple Cabinet has been added. You can open it by registering it as a hotkey in the Character sub-menu of your key settings. Gifts from GMs or certain event-related prizes will be received through the Maple Cabinet. Items received in the Maple Cabinet can be withdrawn by any character in your world but certain items can only be withdrawn by certain characters.
