Notice Regarding Ride or Die Legion Block Requirement Change



Hi Maplers, 

We understand and are aware of the sentiment surrounding the Ride or Die Returns event and the miscommunication of the weekly reset date of the event. Due to this, we would like to inform players that we will be reducing the participation requirements for the Ride or Die Legion Block from 6 to 5 weeks.

This change will be implemented during the scheduled maintenance on August 7, 2025, alongside other changes and bug fixes.

We thank you for your continued support of MapleStory.

[p][/p][p]Managing the Employees[/p][p][/p]
  • [p]You can't do everything alone, and the more customers that come, the more help you'll need![/p]
  • [p]Employees can be hired as you complete certain Chapter Missions:[/p]
    • [p]1st Hall Staff: Clear Chapter 3.[/p]
    • [p]1st Kitchen Staff: Clear Chapter 4.[/p]
    • [p]2nd Hall Staff: Clear Chapter 7.[/p]

  • [p]Hall Staff assist you in serving the customers.[/p]
  • [p]Some Staff have special skills that can improve their performance![/p]
[p][/p]

  • [p]Select an employee and use the "Details" option to see their full information before hiring them.[/p]
[p][/p]
  • [p]Once hired, you can add Employees to an open slot in the main restaurant window.[/p]

[p]Function[/p]
[p]Controls and Details[/p]
[p]Basic Movement[/p]
[p]A: Move Left[/p]
  • [p]D: Move Right[/p]
[p]Grate Wasabi[/p]
[p]W is used during the Grate Wasabi minigame.[/p]
  • [p]Each dish will consume some Wasabi, and must be replenished.[/p]
[p]Pour Green Tea[/p]
[p]Hold S.[/p]
[p]Discard Dish[/p]
[p]Q throws away the dish you're holding.[/p]
[p]Cancel Action[/p]
[p]Press ESC or C to cancel your current action.[/p]
[p]Dash[/p]
[p]Hold Left Shift to move faster in the restaurant.[/p]
  • [p]Dashing consumes stamina, and fully depleting your stamina will slow you down for a period of time.[/p]
[p][/p]
[p]Customer Service[/p][p][/p]
  • [p]Once the restaurant is opened, customers will enter the shop and order a dish after a short time.[/p]
  • [p]As more Chapter Missions are completed, more customers will arrive to the shop each day.[/p]
[p]Green Tea[/p][p][/p]
  • [p]Some customers will order Green Tea first, which will earn more Gold when served.[/p]
  • [p]When you see a customer with the Green Tea speech bubble, move close to them and press Space to begin serving tea.[/p]
  • [p]If the customer is not served promptly, the speech bubble will start to fill with red. If the speech bubble fills fully, then they will stop requesting tea and begin picking a dish instead.[/p]
[p][/p]
  • [p]Hold S to pour the tea, and try to get as close to the green fill marker on the right side of the cup.[/p]
  • [p]If the tea overflows or too little is poured, then you will receive a Bad grade, and earn no Gold.[/p]
  • [p]Pouring it close to the line will result in a Good or Perfect rating, earning bonus Gold.[/p]
[p]Grate Wasabi[/p][p][/p]
  • [p]Every dish costs some Wasabi to create, and it will deplete over time. If the Wasabi does run out, dish preparation will pause until it is refilled.[/p]
  • [p]To replenish the Wasabi, go to the Wasabi Meter on the far right of the restaurant and press Space to begin to grate.[/p]
[p][/p]
  • [p]Repeatedly press W to quickly grate fresh Wasabi and refill the meter.[/p]
  • [p]The minigame will automatically close when the meter reaches 100%, and you can manually close it with ESC or C.[/p]
[p]Serving Dishes[/p][p][/p]
  • [p]When a customer decides on a dish, it will appear in their word bubble, and the kitchen will automatically start to work on it.[/p]
  • [p]As the customer waits for their dish, the word bubble will slowly start to fill with red as they become more and more impatient.[/p]
  • [p]Once the word bubble fills with red, the customer will be angry at your slow service and leave the shop, taking their money with them![/p]
[p][/p]
  • [p]When the progress bar is filled, the dish is complete and can be served to the customer.[/p]
  • [p]Move over to Bancho and press Space to pick up the dish.[/p]
  • [p]Serving the customer their dish will reward you with Gold![/p]
[p][/p]
  • [p]While holding a dish, your speech bubble will show the dish that you're serving.[/p]
  • [p]Take the dish to a customer with the same dish in their speech bubble and press Space to serve it.[/p]
  • [p]You can hold only one dish at a time, and you can press Q to discard the dish (such as if the customer that wanted the dish has left).[/p]
[p]Cleaning Up[/p][p][/p]
  • [p]After finishing their meal, some quite inconsiderate customers will leave their place dirty.[/p]
  • [p]Move to their seat and press Space to begin cleaning.[/p]
  • [p]Repeatedly press A and D to clean up the seat.[/p]
[p][/p]
  • [p]Cleaning a dirty seat will reward a small amount of Gold.[/p]
  • [p]New customers will prefer clean seats over dirty ones.[/p]
  • [p]If a dirty seat is not cleaned by the time a customer seated there is ready to order, they will instead leave the restaurant![/p]
  • [p]Additionally, customers at dirty seats will not order Green Tea.[/p]
