Ludibrium is a subcontinent of Ossyria, located over Ludus Lake in the MapleStory world. It can be accessed by riding the flying train, located in Orbis. It is entirely made of Lego Blocks. Ludibrium also hosts a large amount of monsters, which are mostly based on toy-like figures.
Time has stopped in Ludibrium due to the crack in the dimension near the Time Sphere, which has allowed monsters like Alishar and Papulatus to sneak in to the Maple World.

Zakum is a boss found in the El Nath Mine in the El Nath Mountains.

Zakum was a spirit sealed in a tree deep in the mines of El Nath's volcano. A mining town that once existed nearby eventually discovered this tree. At the time, Zakum was a peaceful monster that had no enemies, but the greed of the miners corrupted it. As the spirit was corrupted, it grew smarter, and finally became capable of controlling the town's populace. It forced them to build an enormous statue in tribute to it. The now evil spirit of Zakum possessed the statue, subjugated all the humans and eventually killed everyone in the town. Zakum now rests deep in the lava caves, waiting for powerful players to challenge his might.

MapleStory celebrates its first birthday.

Omega Sector is a futuristic military base that can be accessed via the bottom floor of Eos Tower in Ludibrium.
Soldiers roam the city, and an NPC that suspiciously resembles a member of the Men In Black stands at the far end. Guards are posted at every exit to prevent intruders from entering. It is mainly a forest-type area, serving as the main attack point for the aliens.

The portal to this quest is located at the map "Entrance to Orbis Tower" just to the right of the portal into the actual tower.

Korean Folk Town is one of two towns based on Korean culture.

There are two ways to travel to Korean Folk Town: using the giant magical "storybook" portal at the end of Aqua Road, at a point called "The Sharp Unknown"; or by going down Helios Tower from Ludibrium to use the giant magical "storybook" portal in the tower's library on the first floor.

The Cracked Dimension in Ludibrium is causing the books of Helios Tower's Library to be scattered and is destroying the stories. Many of the quests here involve setting the legends straight and returning their storybooks to the proper places. One emerges from a well, climbing into the colorful town from Aqua Road. As in other towns, Korean Folk Town contains some people who give quests and also sell various items, potions, and equipment.

Korean Folk Town also serves as a gateway between Ludibrium and Aqua Road without having to ride the transportation at Orbis.

MapleStory celebrates its second anniversary

This party quest takes place in Amoria.
To attempt the Party Quest again you have to waitl 6 hours to have passed.

Mushroom Shrine is always in Springtime, so the fair climate is great for the growth of monsters, plants, and players alike.

Various monsters roam the nearby countryside, from the common and weak mushroom species, to the monsters that only appear in Zipangu, like the Cloud and Night foxes, and the great for training Crows.

Off the main town is an area called the Cemetery, which houses a number of undead monsters, like Ghosts and Coolie Zombies.

In the last map of the Cemetery are some Bains. Nearby is a hidden street called Hall of Mushroom, where the mutated mushroom god Blue Mushmom spawns.

In another map off of Mushroom Shrine, a bamboo and pine forest branches off, leading through throngs of Paper Lantern Ghosts, Water Goblins and Dreamy Ghosts, finally up to the notoriously difficult Black Crow.

New Leaf City is a town founded on the ruins of an ancient city, called Old Sappe Village, that sunk into the ocean over 1000 years ago.

It housed a technologically advanced civilization that used powerful techniques to perform good acts. No one knows why they disappeared, or why the continent suddenly surfaced.

The town is run and populated by a number of fascinating characters, ranging from the mayor, Icebyrd Slimm, to renegade Amorian prince Jack Masque. The city uses a set of warp systems developed by the local genius and time traveler, Professor Foxwit, called Foxwit Doors.

The city's laws are enforced by the ironically named Lita Lawless, a former thief from Kerning City.

The final "founding father" of the town is a mysterious stranger from Versal, Maple's parallel dimension, named Elpam Gorlab.

Mu Lung is a town in the high mountains based off Ancient Asian times, along with many animal NPCs and animal monsters. The buildings in the village are red with blue roofs. To reach Mu Lung, you must ride in the pouch of a bird crane, like a newborn baby from Orbis Station.

Mu Lung has many citizens and buildings, including a Hair Salon, Plastic surgery and skin care, the owner of the Peach Farm, named Tae Sang, and the usual weapon, armor, and potion sellers. One particularly unique resident is Mr. Do, an eccentric doctor who can make a variety of unique potions and buff items, as well as scrolls, when given certain ingredients.

Additionally, the Mu Lung Temple area is reached at the right entrance in Mu Lung, where Masters teach eager players as disciples. Even the monsters living near Mu Lung practice to become masters.

While a normally peaceful place, the people of Mu Lung live under the constant threat of invasion by Master Goblin, the leader of the Sage Cats.

Herb Town is located in the Mu Lung Gardens region, which can be reached via a flying crane from Mu Lung. Herb Town can also be reached by the Dolphin Taxi in Aquarium for 10,000 mesos.

It features a Bellflower and ginseng theme, and carries on with the Asian themes of Mu Lung. The area is very swampy, and fog rolls over the water standing along the ground.

The monsters outside the town follow with this theme, to an extent. The first monster one encounters walking towards Herb Town from Mu Lung is Mr. Alli, an alligator type monster that has a bird on top of it's head. Pirates attack the town from time to time, stealing the valuable Bellflower and Ginseng plants grown here.

The people living here are the same Panda-like creatures that populate Mu Lung. Inside town, there are NPCs that sell weapons and armor, and give out quests, mostly related to stopping the pirate raids.

Off the main town Zipangu is an area called the Cemetery, which houses a number of undead monsters, like Ghosts and Coolie Zombies.

In the last map of the Cemetery are some Bains. Nearby is a hidden street called Hall of Mushroom, where the mutated mushroom god Blue Mushmom spawns.

In another map off of Mushroom Shrine, a bamboo and pine forest branches off, leading through throngs of Paper Lantern Ghosts, Water Goblins and Dreamy Ghosts, finally up to the notoriously difficult Black Crow.

The Haunted House is a mini town of Masteria which has a night theme. To reach the Haunted House you must talk to the NLC Taxi located at the far left end of New Leaf City.

The Prendergast Mansion was once a great center of production for the Prendergast Toy Company, but it fell into ruin after the owner's daughter, Sophilia, died.

The grieving father started to go mad, and created hundreds of dolls in her image. Now, it serves as a complex maze that was maintained by Edmund the Butler for the lady Ludmilla.

The rooms of the mansion can be approached from any number of directions, and depending on how one enters a room, I.E. through the right side on the floor or on the ceiling, the contents of the room will differ.

Many new and unusual monsters, which have evolved from the toys through the dead father's pain, can be found inside the mansion.

Characters of the four original classes can now advance their characters to the fourth and final job.

Leafre is an egg-themed area that is found in the West of Ossyria.

It is one of the most powerful areas in all of MapleStory, with monsters even stronger than those found in Aqua Dungeon, Ludibrium's Clock Tower or Crimsonwood Keep.

To get there, players must ride a large blue bird from Orbis Station.

You can buy a Magic Seed from Chief Tatamo in Leafre for 30,000 mesos to create a two-way portal from Leafre to Ellinia. The price of these seeds can be lowered by donating items to the chief for the town's well being.

There are two bosses in Leafre: Manon, a large dragon, and Griffey.

It's a castle-type area that is high atop a mountain, surrounded by a maze-like forest. It is the second town to be located in the region of Masteria called the Phantom Forest, the first being Haunted House. It is located on the left side of New Leaf City.

According to this text, it was once ruled by Grandmasters, apparently one for each of the four original jobs.

Crimsonwood Keep also served as the headquarters of at least five groups of Masterian warriors, those being the Stormcasters, the ranged-fighting Windreavers, the magician-archer Flamekeepers, the mysterious Shadowknights, and the courageous Bosshunters.

The keep fell shortly before the disappearance of Masteria after a long war with the people of Krakia, who were under the influence of an evil, as of yet unnamed Alchemist.



Now, however, the castle is under the influence of a bizarre and evil group referred to as the "Twisted Masters", and the path leading up to it is lined with monstrous counterparts to each of the groups formerly housed here.

Inside the town lies two underground Laboratories, one for each group, one filled with robotic and electronic monsters, and the other with biological monsters that seem to have been created by accident.

The city's primary source of income comes from the manufacturing of Lithium stones, created from rare ores found in the desert. These refined gems are shipped to Orbis to help keep the city afloat. The ores can also be seen on the ship that travels from Victoria to Orbis.

Where the knowledge of Alchemy comes from is still a mystery, though there are rumors that the Black Magician has had some influence.

This party quest involves uniting the two lovers, Romeo and Juliet, who belong to the opposing Alchemy groups, the Alcadno and the Zenumists.

This Party Quest is located at Crimsonwood Keep, and can be reached by going to the upper right corner of the Hall of Mastery, clicking on the door, and then walking to Jack, where the quest can be started.

This Party Quest requires 10-20 people, which is much larger than the size of a single party. Thus, it uses a Squad-type system. The group that intends to enter should form up parties, and then one of the party leaders has to register as the Squad leader. From here, the quest can begin!

The amount of EXP needed to level up has been changed.

Altaire Camp can be reached by using the Time portal in Ludibrium's Time Control Room, at the top of Helios Tower.
