Hello Maplers,

We have identified an error where the Legendary 'Boss Damage +30%' Potential stat was obtainable using Violet Cubes and Unicubes.

In the v.237 update, we implemented a change where the Legendary Potential stat ‘Boss Damage +30%’ would no longer be obtainable when using Red Cube, Black Cube, Meister’s Cube, Unicube, Violet Cube, and Cube of Equality. However, we have identified an error starting in v.239 where the Potential stat was still obtainable when using only Violet Cubes and Unicubes. We sincerely apologize for this oversight.

We plan to resolve this in the v.261 update and provide compensation for affected players, as outlined below.

Converting Potential Stats for Affected Legendary Equipment

• The Legendary 'Boss Damage +30%' Potential stat will no longer be obtainable using Violet Cubes and Unicubes, and will be removed.
• For players who obtained the Legendary 'Boss Damage +30%' Potential stat using Violet Cubes and Unicubes and still have the affected equipment, the stat will be replaced with the 'Boss Damage +35%' Potential stat.
  • Equipment that obtained the Legendary 'Boss Damage +30%' Potential stat before the v.237 update will remain as is.
  • The Unique 'Boss Damage +30%' Potential stat will remain as is.

Violet Cube and Unicube Compensation Details

• Violet Cube and Unicube will be issued as compensation for affected players on July 16, 2025 (after maintenance) through the Gift Drop.
• Players who obtained the Legendary 'Boss Damage +30%' Potential stat for the first time using Violet Cubes and Unicubes will be compensated with the number of cubes used from that point onward, up to the last cube used.
  • The number of compensated cubes will be calculated based on the quantity used during each promotional sale period and within the valid usage window for those cubes.
  • The total quantity includes cubes used when the Legendary 'Boss Damage +30%' Potential stat was first obtained.
  • For Violet Cubes, the quantity will be based on when the stat appeared, not when the player selected it.
  • For Unicubes, only cubes used to obtain the stat will be considered, excluding those used just for changing the line.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for your continued support and patience as we work to make things right.
