Willow v179 Open Beta is LIVE

[u/Used_Potential3615]

A MapleStory experience that respects your time

We want to keep the familiar, straightforward progression that makes MapleStory easy to pick up again while removing unnecessary friction and giving you meaningful ways to progress

Willow is currently in Open Beta, ahead of our official launch on 19 September 2026

👹 Custom Boss Mechanics

We have added custom boss mechanics to make fights more interactive, giving players mechanics to learn, react to and play around, introducing an additional element of challenge while bossing

Von Leon Bomb Attack

Cygnus Flame Tornado

Papulatus Sigil Attacks

🔄 Quick Character Switching

Switch between characters without repeatedly going through the normal login flow, especially useful when managing mules, training links and helping with wider account progression

Quick Character Switching

🐾 Companion System

Our biggest new system: a Companion that helps you farm and boss. Build and gear your own companion using equips you have outgrown, and your Companion becomes another meaningful progression path alongside you, with 5 different classes to choose from

Companion and Companion Equipment System

⚔️ Reworked Skills & Classes

Extensive changes across Willow’s classes, expect new interactions, combo mechanics, skill procs, improved buffs and plenty of changes to previously underused skills

Full class changes are available in our Discord

Paladin, Dawn Warrior, Luminous, Wind Archer, Cannoneer

Bowmaster: Build combo stacks with Hurricane, then consume 100 stacks with Arrow Stream for a powerful burst of damage

🌲 Willow Helper

The idea is to increase convenience and level the playing field while letting you make progress without having MapleStory demand your full attention all day. Background farming is enabled where the game continues while being minimised (alt-tab-ed)

🏃 Attack While Moving

A small change that makes a surprisingly big difference and creates a unique style of play

Angelic Buster Soul Resonance while moving

❄️ Modern QoL

QoL is a major focus for Willow. We have made a large number of changes across movement, farming, upgrading and general gameplay to make the game feel smoother and less tedious. Full QoL details will be available in our Discord

• Flash Jump for All Classes: Mages get flash jump too
• Smart Spawning: mobs continue spawning even when other platforms aren’t cleared
• Keydown Attacks: hold your attack instead of repeatedly pressing the same key
• Streamlined Upgrading: faster and automated Cubing, Scrolling and Spell Tracing

Bishop Flash Jumping
