Chaos is a time of change and uncertainty in Maple World. Alliances have become strained and broken and Maplers will soon begin turning on each other. The most important ally you can have now is yourself. While training for combat is an important part of making it through Chaos unscathed, it wont be enough. Become the self-sufficient, holistic Mapler you need to be in the tough days ahead with the new Professions and Traits Systems!

Get to work, artisans!
