MapleStory is currently running an event from March 19, 2026 to June 17, 2026 that gives out a Hyper Burning Booster. Since this is a quieter season, I recommend using the booster to raise a Legion character to level 260 rather than leveling your main or a Legion Champion character, as the rewards for leveling on the Challenger Worlds that open during the major summer and winter updates are better.

Recommended Legion characters to raise to level 260 include Mercedes (reduces skill cooldowns by 6%), Shade (increases Critical Damage by 6%), Demon Avenger (increases damage against boss monsters by 6%), Wild Hunter (20% chance to increase damage by 20% when attacking), Mechanic (increases buff duration by 25%), Zero (increases EXP earned by 10%), and Phantom (increases mesos obtained by 4%).

When using a Hyper Burning Booster to raise a Legion character to level 260,

I prefer to level without grinding, so I follow this approach whenever a Hyper Burning Booster is given out.

Complete daily quests every day

Daily quests provide a worthwhile amount of EXP, so they are worth completing every day.

The current 메이플 스위츠 event lets you level up event skills.

Leveling up the Arcane River Daily Mission Rewards skill in this event increases the EXP you receive from daily quests,

so once you have maxed out Monster Park Clear EXP and Grandis Daily Mission Rewards, investing in the Arcane River Daily Rewards skill is a reasonable option if you do not need any other skills.

Run Monster Park every day

Monster Park provides a substantial amount of EXP, so I recommend running it every day.

You can enter 7 times a day on one character, with the first 2 entries free and each additional entry costing 600 Maple Points.

If spending Maple Points every day is too costly,

try to at least use those entries when Sunday Maple offers 250% increased Monster Park Clear EXP.

Use the VIP Sauna

The attendance rewards for the MapleStory 23rd anniversary event

include VIP Sauna Passes, so consider leaving your character in the sauna when you go out.

Use a 슈피겔라's Golden Strawberry Farm One-Time Entry Ticket

Whether you get one from the MapleStory 23rd anniversary event attendance rewards

or buy one from the Gift Ticket Shop, using a 슈피겔라's Golden Strawberry Farm One-Time Entry Ticket

can earn you a substantial amount of EXP.

This routine alone is enough to raise a Legion character to level 260 without grinding,

so I recommend leveling the Legion characters your main needs in preparation for the upcoming summer update.
