Change Burning: Lucid
Event Period:
19th August 2026, After Maintenance ~ 10th November 2026, 2359SGT
"Change Burning: Lucid", an event designed for major character growth, has been prepared for characters Level 260 and above.
Transform your character into Lucid, the master of dreams, and hunt throughout the dream world. As Lucid grows, your own character will grow alongside her. You will be able to experience significant progression even throughout the more challenging higher-Level ranges.
Raise Lucid to Level 100 and collect a variety of attractive rewards, including Fantasy Equipment, the Master of Nightmares Medal, the LUCID Title, and even Adversary's Choice Cubes that can be exchanged using Dream Shards.
And while you're exploring the dream, we hope you'll take a moment to listen to what Lucid has to say.
Available to Characters Level 260 or higher who have completed the ‘Another Power, Arcane Force’ quest, or Zero characters Level 260 or higher who have completed Story Chapter 2
How to Participate
- You can participate in the event by selecting Change Burning: Lucid from the event list and pressing the [Participate] button, or through NPC Lucid located in Major Village.
- You can only participate with ONE CHARACTER per PassportID.
- Even when the assigned character has been deleted, you will NOT be able to join Change Burning: Lucid with another MapleID character with the same PassportID.
- However, you are allowed to join again the event using different characters using the same MapleID.
- Lucid restarts at Level 1, and rewards already claimed on that account cannot be claimed again.
- Burning Characters can also participate in Challengers World
Change: Lucid
- Once registered, the 'Change: Lucid' skill appears under your Beginner skill tab. Using it transforms your character into Lucid.
Transformation Conditions
- No restrictions apply while in town — you may transform at any time.
- In Arcane River / Grandis hunting maps, you can transform as long as you have Dream Eaters remaining to defeat. Once your remaining count hits 0, the transformation ends and cannot be re-activated.
CHANGE Status Window
- Displays the Level and EXP of your Change Burning character while transformed.
- Includes a Cancel Transformation button.
- Shows your remaining Dream Eaters and current Nightmare Erosion gauge.
Additional Notes:
- Dream Eaters are special Lucid exclusive monsters that spawn as part of the Nightmare Control event.
- If Nightmare Erosion is currently active, the transformation will not be cancelled even at 0 remaining Dream Eaters.
- An extra 25,000 Dream Eaters are added to your limit every Thursday at 12:00 AM.
While transformed, Lucid gains access to a full set of exclusive skills.
These use a separate damage formula from your normal character skills: damage in the Fantasy Trials and Nightmare Forest is calculated off Lucid's own exclusive stats, while everywhere else it scales off your character's Combat Power at the moment of transformation.
Several core stats are also fixed to set values while transformed.

Nightmare Control
Clear out the monsters swarming to disrupt Lucid's peaceful time. Both Lucid and your character earn plenty of EXP for it!

Check your remaining defeatable Dream Eaters via Lucid Dream UI and CHANGE STATUS UI.
Once the count hits 0 (and Nightmare Erosion isn't active), you can no longer transform in hunting grounds.
Nightmare Erosion

- Dream Eaters stop spawning while Erosion is in progress.
- Changing maps or cancelling your transformation mid-Erosion interrupts it and will simply re-transform in a hunting map to resume later.
- Lucid gains EXP from Dream Eaters, the Source of Nightmares, and Nightmare Minions only (not normal field monsters) meanwhile your character earns EXP based on character Level. No additional EXP-boosting effects apply to these monsters.
