DICE MASTER

Never lost a single board game before? Bored of training or hunting or doing mundane daily tasks?
This one’s for you, take on the challenge of Game Developer Jun for a fun-filled game experience, and many rewards!

Requirement: Level 33+ (Zero classes must complete Story Chapter 2)
How to Start: Accept the quest from the Star icon > Dice Master icon on the left of the screen

Event Mechanics

Dice Master is a Board Game in MapleStory.

Collect Dice from Level Range Monsters to participate in the event!

10 dices will be required to enter 1 round.

You can participate up to 5 times a day in the same World.

Your main goal is to roll the dices, move your character along the board and make it to the end of the map! Simple, isn’t it?

Tiles on the Dice Master Board differs, and some of them will activate a special effect.

You can obtain EXP, Mesos, Enhancement supplies, and Honor EXP!

However, some tiles serve to deter your journey by moving you backwards. Look out for them!

If you step on a special DICE BATTLE tile, Game Developer Jun will pop out of nowhere to challenge you to a DICE BATTLE!

There are two kinds of Dice Battles that you will encounter:

   – Guess the Number: Game Developer Jun will roll two dices. Guess the sum of the two dices rolled! You gain an extra dice for guessing correctly, but you will lose a dice if you guessed the wrong range.
   – THE DICE BATTLE: Both you and Game Developer Jun will roll 3 dices. The one with the higher sum wins! If you win, you gain an extra dice. However, if you lose, you will move back the difference between the two sums. (Imagine rolling a sum of 3 against an 18. Brutal, huh?)
