Big Bang Textbook [1]

What is Big Bang all about?

Forget everything that you know about MapleStory. Big Bang is all set to rock the MapleSEA world with its revolutionary changes.

There will be huge changes: maps, monsters, quests, skills, EXP equation, damage equation, job balancing, resolution, UI,

EVERYTHING will be different!

Check out the most prominent User Interface changes in our Big Bang patch this May 2011 with the "Big Bang Text Book"!

Terrain changes in Maple's World map:

1) Modified hunting grounds

You can now open the World Map by typing (W) and place your mouse over the hunting ground you would like to go to. This will show the NPC and Mob information of the selected land.

2) New hunting grounds

New hunting grounds were added for faster character growth.

The mini dungeons were moved based on the monster level and relocation of the hunting grounds.

3) Changes to the towns

The landscape of each town was modified, and the monster type/levels were changed.

E.g. Henesys and Kerning City Construction Site
