DICE MASTER

Dice Master Jun is back with his favourite board game! Think you can stand tall and be the best again?

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.

A Dice Master Game Admission Ticket 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?)

In the return of Dice Master, there is now a Bonus Stage! You can access the Bonus Stage with a Bonus Game Ticket, obtainable from clearing normal Dice Master stages. Bonus Stage rewards are really good, so roll away!

Rewards

• Clear Dice Master 1 time: 2x EXP Coupon (30min) x2
• Clear Dice Master 3 times: Dice Master Buff x2
• Clear Dice Master 5 times: Epic Potential Scroll 50%
• Clear Dice Master 7 times: Safety Charm x10 Coupon
• Clear Dice Master 10 times: Dice Master Damage Skin
• Clear Dice Master 12 times: Dice Master Title
