[Updated 6/10] Prepare for the Hyperion World Leap Event coming June 11



Hi Maplers,

The high population in Kronos has recently brought about technical challenges and difficulties in maintaining a stable and comfortable gaming environment. In an effort to provide this, we have prepared a special event allowing players to leap from Kronos to Hyperion. By offering this option, we aim to address the inconveniences caused by the excessive population density in Kronos and revitalize Hyperion, thereby fostering better overall server balance and a more enjoyable gaming experience.

The Hyperion World Leap Event will be available during the upcoming Stargazer updates, and we have prepared additional perks for those choosing to leap so that they can quickly adjust to their new world.  

Event Period: June 11, 2025 (after the maintenance) - August 26, 2025 11:59 PM UTC

Requirements: Characters on Kronos Lv. 101 and above (Zero characters that completed Story Quest Act 2) created prior to June 11, 12:00 AM UTC. 

Perk 1: Legion Leap Box
  • The Legion Leap Box allows players to carry over progress for Legion Coins, Artifact Points, and Artifact EXP to the new world!
  • [Updated 6/10] Talk to Mover in Henesys and select "Create Legion Leap Box" to create the item. Only one Legion Leap Box can be created per account, and is tradable within account. It can be used until September 2, 2025 at 11:59 PM.
  • Once created, the Legion Leap Box stores the following from your current world:
    • The amount of Legion Coins you had when the Legion Leap Box was created.
    • Up to 20,000 Legion Artifact Points.The Artifact Points will be distributed after the artifact points has been reset.
    • 100% of your Legion Artifact EXP. The Legion Artifact EXP will be distributed after the artifact level has been reset.
  • Legion Artifact stats and grade status will not carry over.
  • If you use the Legion Leap Box without leaping to Hyperion, any stored Legion Coins, Artifact Points, and Artifact EXP will be returned to their original state from the time of creation.
  • After you've leaped to Hyperion and used the box, click the 'Sync Artifact Special Mission' button to unlock special missions related to your Legion Artifact.
Perk 2: Players who World Leap from the new Challenger World to Hyperion will receive additional rewards for reaching Emerald and Diamond tiers:
  • Ultimate Legion Growth Potion x15 (instead of 10)
Perk 3: Hyperion World Perks
  • June 11, 2025 after the maintenance - June 14, 2025 at 11:59 PM UTC 
    • +100% Rune EXP buff effect (3x normal EXP)
    • +300% Combo Kill EXP
    • 2x EXP for Pollo, Fritto, and Especia Bounty Hunting
    • 2x Inferno Wolf Exit EXP
    • 2x chance for new Monster Collection monsters

[Updated 6/10] Before you leap from Kronos to Hyperion, here are a few important things to keep in mind to make sure your transfer goes smoothly.
  • Guilds and Alliances
    • Guild leaders must disband or leave their guild first.
    • You must leave your guild or alliance before transferring.
    • This includes pending guild applications.
  • Storage Restrictions
    • Delivery Package Storage
    • Hired Merchant
    • NPC Fredrick
    • Retrieve and collect any items before transferring from the following:
    • You won’t be able to retrieve these items after transferring!
  • Cash Items
    • Cash items in your character inventory will transfer. However, items in your Cash Shop Inventory will NOT, so don’t for get to move them over!
  • You can transfer even if the world you’re moving to has no empty character slots—unless you already have 58 characters there. If you do, you’ll need to delete a character to make space before transferring.
  • Zero characters can’t be transferred if they were created before June 11, 2025 at 12:00 AM UTC, or if they haven’t completed Story Quest Chapter 2.
  • In-game rankings or regularly updated game progression records such as Mu Lung ranking, Donation King, or Tower of Oz will not transfer.
