In addition, special Game Master (GM) events will take place every Wednesday and Friday for one hour, where players can participate in different event maps and compete against other players with the chance to receive an event trophy and a secret scroll that awards random items. To celebrate Independence Day, monsters will also drop special, patriotic hats that are wearable in-game. Finally, as homage to summertime tradition, a new quest, Codys BBQ, will be open for players to trade in maple meat, BBQ sauce or charcoal for an Independence Day Flag and other goodies.
Events have also been planned for the MapleStory website. The "GM Blog Event" will invite users to comment on a GM Blog, in which 20 select users will receive 10,000 Maple Points.
