Event Details:

Terry came to Maple World after hearing the news that the sixth power was detected. Terry says that the Sixth Star acts as a medium that connects the warriors of Maple World with the sixth power, and asks you to collect the dispersed star fragments. If you collect the star fragments created by the energy of various powers and bring them to Terry, Terry will gather the power of the stars through the starlight concentrator. It is said that a Star Piece can be created by condensing the power contained in the star fragments, and when six Star Pieces are gathered, a Sixth Star can be created... Let's help Terry collect the star fragments scattered throughout Maple World and go on a long journey to obtain the Sixth Star and sixth power.
