Event Quest Item Drops

At a glance

Applies to	Seasonal and event collect quests (Valentine's Day, Mark's BBQ, Happyville, anniversary and similar)
Drops from	Any monster, but only for you, and only while the quest is open
Stops when	Your bag holds as many as the quest needs
Event window	None: these quests are open all year round

Event Quest Item Drops explains where the collect items of the seasonal quests come from. Most of them are not on any monster's normal loot list: they fall from any monster, but only while you have the quest accepted and still need the item. If you hunted "everything around your level" and saw nothing, the usual reason is that the quest was not accepted yet.

★

Different from the original game In the original game these items dropped from every monster in the world during a limited event window, for everyone. In MapleVerse there is no calendar: every event quest stays available, and the drop switches on for you personally when you accept the quest.

How it works

1. Accept the quest from its giver (see the table below). The drop does not start before this.
2. Kill any monster, on any map. Each kill rolls once for every item the quest still needs.
3. When your bag holds the full amount the quest asks for, that item stops dropping for you.
4. Hand the quest in. Completed one-time quests never drop their items again.

i

One event item drops for everyone with no quest at all: Warm Sunlight for Aramia's Maple Tree, 4% from every monster you hit.

In a party every member rolls from their own quest and the drop is decided for each member separately, so a party mate who has not accepted the quest gets no quest items.

The real drop rates

Quest items are ETC items, and in MapleVerse ETC items drop at twice the base rate. The percentages in the table are the real chance per monster killed, after that doubling. A few quest items are not ETC items (the Alphabet Soup Pasta letters and the Lucky Dish are setup items; Small Stories is a use item) and keep their base rate. Rates are the same for every monster, so low-level monsters you can kill quickly are the efficient choice.

Items that are not drops

Some items on these shopping lists are bought, not dropped. Looking for them on monsters is the second most common reason for "it never drops".

Item	Where to buy	Price
Dry Treat	Rudi in Happyville, or Kiriwing in Crossroads of Ereve	200 Vesos
Warm Milk	Dr. Faymus in Kerning City Pharmacy	1 Veso
Heart Box	Coco, in most major towns	1,000 Vesos
Gold Ribbon	Coco	1,500 Vesos
Basket	Coco	3,000 Vesos
Cover Material	Coco	1,500 Vesos
Chocolate	Many town stores	about 3,000 Vesos

Three more are one-off rules:

• Gwin's Bag drops from the Iron Boar (level 45) at every kill, but only while His Bag is open. Manji in Perion offers it after A Story Carried by the Wind (from John in Lith Harbor). Look in Iron Boar Land and the Burnt Land maps.
• The Picture of Rudolph comes from hitting the camera tripod on the highest roof in Happyville (see Happyville Quest Guide).
• The Mardi Gras feathers are quest rewards, not drops (see Mardi Gras Throws Quest Guide).

Common problems

"Nothing drops."

Check the Quest Log: the quest must be listed under In Progress. Then check that your ETC tab has a free slot. A full tab turns the item away ("You cannot get the item because your inventory is full.").

"It stopped dropping."

Your bag already holds the full amount. Hand in the quest.

"The quest is not offered."

Several event givers hand out their quests one step at a time. See Event quest order below.

"The giver shows a quest light bulb but has nothing."

Fixed. The light bulb and the menu now use the same list.

Event quest order

Cassandra and the Maple Administrator had so many event quests that a new character found around 25 under each of them. MapleVerse therefore puts them in lines. Finishing any quest of a step opens the next step. A step you can never start (you are above its level cap, or it belongs to another job) is skipped once the step before it is done. A step you have in progress still blocks the next one: finish it first.

★

Different from the original game The original game had no order between these events, because they ran in different years. The lines below are a MapleVerse addition.

Quests that already have their own prerequisites (the later stages of Beat the Heat, Lilin's Present 2 and 3), quests that start from a held item, the Chuseok kitchen quests, and the entry quests of other storylines (Lunar World, the Haunted Mansion, the Baby Bird, Agent W) are offered as before.

Quest tracking

Open the Quest Log, select an in-progress quest and press the Quest Alarm button to track it on the right side of the screen. A green check marks a tracked quest, and pressing the button again untracks it. Up to five quests can be tracked at once; a sixth is refused without a message. Every quest that asks you to hunt or collect something shows its progress in the Quest Log as have/need, for example "Rocky Mask 12/300".
