What is Kanata?

We've been building and testing Kanata for quite awhile now. The classes, maps and bosses are the vanilla ones with our own (and imported) content on top: questlines set in the Maple World, a hardcore world called Chaos, Nebulites, and a long list of quality-of-life changes.

What it isn't:

- Pay-to-win. Nothing that affects gameplay is sold for money.

- Pure vanilla. If you want a 1:1 copy of the original game, this isn't it.

Rates

| EXP | Drop | Meso |

| 4x | 3x | 4x |

- The EXP table is lighter than the original: levels 10-109 need 65% of the usual EXP, 110-159 need 80% and 160-199 need 95%. Levels 200-249 use a new curve up to the cap.

- Hunting maps start with 30 monsters and gain 10 more every 2 minutes while you keep killing, up to 75 (100 on the big endgame maps).

What Makes Kanata Different?

Our own questlines:

- The Far Side (Lv 10-160): seven chapters with Lune in Henesys. Finishing it unlocks Chaos for your account.

- The Four Faces (Lv 60-130): seven chapters that open **The Moon Stage**, a 1-2 player dungeon with three difficulties, no entry limit and its own token shop.

- Off the Edge of the Map (Lv 180+): the Five Measures pay one full level each from 200 to 205, then the Edgewalker medal.

- Echoes Beyond the Stars (Lv 180+): eight quests in the Temple of Time for the Soul Seeker skill.

- Gathering Bags (Lv 30-120): 36 quests for bigger material bags.

Chaos, the hardcore world

Finish The Far Side and a second world opens for your account. Chaos takes new characters only, and each one gets three lives. The third death ends that character's story for good.

- Monsters have 300% HP and deal 168.75% damage.

- Masks from Motley trade one stat for another, like Greed (+40% mesos and drops, -25% EXP) or Wrath (+20% damage dealt, +15% taken).

- The Jester's Whims change the rules every hour on the hour. The next one is announced at :55.

- No trading: no trades, player shops, Item Trade Center, Cash Shop or storage.

- The Chaos Ledger pays out to your account in the Kanata world: Superior Gollux, Sweetwater, AbsoLab and Arcane Umbra pieces, medals and chairs.

Nebulites and the Chaos Jester

Socket your gear and slot in Nebulites, graded D up to SSS. Alien Cubes rank a stone up, and SSS only comes from fusion. Nebulite Boxes drop from monsters, main bosses and the **Chaos Jester**, a clown who turns up after about ten minutes of grinding one map. He has two telegraphed attacks, always drops a Nebulite Box, and pays 1,000 NX to everyone who dealt 30% of his HP.

Gear and boss loot

- No stat requirements. Gear needs only the level and the job, and it's all unisex.

- Drops follow your class, so the gear you find is gear you can use.

- Pensalir sets drop from regular monsters level 130+, with set bonuses from 2 to 6 pieces.

- Main bosses roll a bonus pool for every player** (Alien Cubes, Advanced Equip Enhancement Scrolls, White Scrolls, Chaos Scrolls 60%, Miracle Cubes, Nebulite Boxes), drop the Boss Accessory Set, and pay 3,000 NX to everyone who dealt 15% of the boss's HP.

- Trade free - Gollux, AbsoLab, Arcane Umbra and Sweetwater pieces trade freely.

Every party quest

Henesys, Kerning, Ludibrium, Orbis, Ellin Forest, Guild, Lord Pirate, Magatia, Amoria, Crimsonwood Keep, Nett's Pyramid, Dusty Platform, Hoblin King, Sea of Fog, Crimson Sky, Monster Carnival 1 and 2 and Mu Lung Dojo all run, plus the newly added **Ariant Coliseum**, **Ludibrium Maze** and **Olivia's Halloween PQ** (during the Halloween event). Every member rolls their own reward, and if your last four had no accessory, the fifth one is an accessory. (pity system)

Quality of Life

- Auto pickup, on by default (`@ap` toggles it)

- Instant boats, trains and airships

- Resolutions up to 1920x1200 or custom, in a window, borderless or borderless fullscreen

- Auto job advancement: pick your class at 10 and your branch at 30; 3rd and 4th job happen on their own

- Free Flash Jump for classes without a movement skill (double-press jump)

- Damage cap removed

- New characters start at level 10 with 10,000,000 mesos

- `@drops` for any monster or item, `@check` for your rates, stats and ping

- `@autobuff` for all of your buffs to never cast them again!

- Buff timers and cooldown numbers on quick slots

- Full map Pet Vac and a 13-map Hyper Teleport Rock.

- Monster Book overlay with drop lists

- Global chat (across all channels) shared between the game and the website

- Pets ignore or auto-sell up to 20 items each

- HP and MP refill on level-up

Fair Play

No pay-to-win. There's a DP Shop, but DP can't be bought with money. You earn it with **Kanata Coins**, a drop from monsters in the Kanata world (that also comes from party quest rewards.

VP is free. Vote once every 24 hours for 4 VP. That covers 4 hours each of 2x EXP (1.5 VP), Pet Vac (1.5 VP) and the Hyper Teleport Rock (1 VP), every day. Monsters drop VP too, up to 20 VP a month.

NX comes from playing: main bosses (3,000 NX), the Chaos Jester (1,000 NX), and the VP and DP shops. The Cash Shop sells convenience items plus Miracle Cubes and Vicious' Hammers. Outfits come from the Fashion Gacha.

FAQ

Is there a wipe? Yes, one full wipe at launch.

Why launch the same month as Classic World? We announced October 10 back in August. Kanata is a different era of the game, and you're welcome to play both.

See you on October 10.

Kanata - Class Reworks, Chaos Jester & Nebulites

Hello everyone.

I’ve made skill changes across every class to give them better bossing, mobbing and ofc to make them fun.

- Heroes keep Combo Orbs after Panic and Coma, Arans keep leftover combo, Evan can mix fire and ice for bonuses, Corsair summons repair the Battleship, Wild Hunter’s jaguar sets up Wild Arrow Blast.
- Cygnus Knights reach level 200 and get new passives. Most Boosters last longer, weaker skills have been improved and a lot of broken or unbalanced skills were fixed and adjusted.

- Classes without Flash Jump or Teleport get a free Beginner Flash Jump. Teleport has more range and works in the air.
- you can move while using attacks like Hurricane, Rapid Fire and Wild Arrow Blast.

The latest update added the Chaos Jester.
- It can invade active grinding maps, scales to the highest lvl player in the map, says weird things and uses custom attacks you need to dodge. Killing it gives a large EXP reward and a guaranteed Nebulite Box.

Nebulites can be socketed into equipment, fused, rerolled and removed through the normal item UI. Their stats show directly on your equipment, GMS like.
There’s also a custom SSS tier with one attack and one support stones from every 4th job or 3rd job class in the game (3rd job because of cygnus), meaning there are 46 total new custom stones! While equipped, these stones give you a max level skill that works with your own weapon ofc.

Kanata also has reworked Area Bosses, growing mob spawns in the map, Monster Book and achievements, beta milestone rewards, Maker skill, Quest Points + Shop, PQs, guilds, HD support, Linux support through Wine and much more!

Kanata - v95 Beta!

Kanata Beta Launches Today

A little while ago, i asked whether people would be interested in playing a v95 server that keeps the classic maolestory experience while adding useful quality-of-life improvements.

The response was great, development has been good so i decided to launch the beta early.

Kanata is built for players who enjoy classic progression, questing, Party Quests, bossing, exploration, and the social side of maolestory but without some of the unnecessary restrictions, outdated inconveniences and bad game design.

Rates

EXP

Levels 10–160: 3x

Levels 160–200: 2x

Custom EXP Table

In addition to the EXP rates, the amount of EXP required to level up has been reduced:

Levels 10–109: 35% less EXP required

Levels 109–159: 20% less EXP required

Levels 159–200: 5% less EXP required

Other Rates

Drop Rate: 2x

Meso Rate: 3x

Quest EXP: 3x

The goal is to make progression smoother while still keeping leveling a thing as this isn't a RB server.

Server Features

In-game auto registration

Automatic job advancement

Secondary stats are not required

Auto-Assign only adds AP to your main stat

Full HD support

All equipment is unisex

Buffs display their remaining duration

No Speed or Jump caps

No skill damage or range caps

Full Monster Book support

Curse filter removed

Repeated-message cooldown removed

Chat character limit removed

Character names can be as short as three characters

Items are picked up automatically without pressing Z

Full Hyper Teleport Rock

Full-map pet vac

Skip the tutorial and begin at Level 10

Global chat

Unused SP carries over between job advancements

Three-second monster respawn time

All bosses are available

All Party Quests are fully functional

A large number of quests are implemented, with more continually being added

Kanata also includes fully functional core game systems such as:

Parties

Guilds

Delivery

Party Search

Cash Shop

ITC, also known as the Item Trading Center or Trade button

Personal Shops

Player-to-player trades

Pets

Other original game systems that are often missing or incomplete on private servers

Fashion Ticket System

There is no regular-item Gachapon.

Fashion Tickets are used exclusively for obtaining Cash equipment, meaning Gachapon will not be used to distribute normal equipment or progression items.

Normal Fashion Tickets

Obtainable from the VP Shop

Available as a global monster drop

Contains the Cash equipment available in the current version

Special Fashion Tickets

Obtainable from the DP Shop

Contains imported Cash equipment from later MapleStory versions

Dynamic Monster Spawns

Maps become more populated while players actively train inside them.

Every five active minutes spent inside a map increases the number of monsters that can spawn

A map can contain up to 60 monsters at once

This allows active training maps to gradually become faster without permanently changing every map’s spawn rate.

Boss Rewards

Every boss rewards 3,000 NX when defeated.

To qualify for boss drops, pickup rights, and the NX reward, each player must deal damage equal to at least 15% of the boss’s total HP.

Players who do not meet the 15% damage requirement will not receive boss rewards.

This system is intended to reward players who genuinely participate in the fight rather than simply entering the map for leech and services.

Global Drops

The following drops can be obtained while killing monsters throughout the Maple World:

Vote Points

Normal Fashion Tickets

Cubes

Chaos Scrolls

Kanata Coins

Vote Points do not physically drop.

Instead, killing monsters gives you a chance to receive between one and three VP directly into your account, with a monthly limit of 30 VP earned from monsters.

Quest Point System

Completing quests rewards Quest Points, giving players another reason to explore the Maple World instead of only grinding in the same maps.

Each quest gives a fixed amount of QP based on its level:

Lower-level quests reward 1 QP

Higher-level quests can reward up to 5 QP

Quest Points can be spent at Inkwell, who can be found inside the Free Market and in different locations throughout the Maple World.

QP can be used to purchase:

Maple Weapons

Maple Shields

Pyrope Weapons

Beta Information

This is a beta, so bugs and missing content may still be discovered. Feedback and reports will help me improve the server, fix issues, and continue implementing more quests and content.

The beta begins today at 19:00 UK time.

I hope to see you in Kanata! Discord
