Nexon announced on the 21st that it is adding 'Chaos' difficulty to three party quests in MapleStory Idle. This update introduces the 'First Companion' Chaos difficulty, with the others to be added sequentially. Alongside this update, a new exploration system and three new Legendary relics have been added.

First, the 'First Companion' Chaos difficulty, which rewards rings, has been added. On May 28th, 'Dimensional Crack' will be added, offering necklace rewards, and on June 4th, 'Goddess' Trace' will be added, providing face accessories. Clearing the Chaos difficulty of each party quest allows players to obtain higher-tier equipment. With the opening of each Chaos difficulty, a 'Party Quest Burning UP' event will be held for one week, increasing the drop rate of reward equipment for that specific party quest.

Additionally, an exploration system is being introduced, allowing players to automatically progress through party quests while engaging in regular gameplay to obtain equipment. One exploration ticket is replenished every week, and each ticket allows for two hours of exploration.

Three new Legendary relics have also been added. 'Alliance Token' grants a 10% attack power increase to the entire party, and if multiple party members equip it, all effects are applied simultaneously. 'Horn Whistle' increases the final damage of both the player and their companions by 10% while they are summoned, and the effect is doubled for the player during chapter boss battles. 'Cursed Doll' provides +15 Accuracy and a 7% final damage increase; however, if the opponent dodges an attack, the final damage effect is lost for 5 seconds, while accuracy is tripled instead.
