01Check the dates and accept the quest
The Journey Begins runs from October 21, 2026 at 18:00 UTC to November 18, 2026 at 23:59 UTC. Characters must be level 10 or above.
Talk to Maple Administrator and accept [Event] The Journey Begins before following the daily collection route. The event has an end date, so check the remaining time in-game.
02Your daily 30-leaf routine
Maple Leaves drop randomly from monsters at level 10 or above. A monster kill does not guarantee a leaf; the announcement does not publish a drop rate or a fastest farming map.
- Accept the event quest from Maple Administrator on an eligible character.
- Defeat level 10+ monsters and collect Maple Leaves until you have 30.
- Turn in the 30 leaves for that day’s reward.
- Check your accumulated reward progress before ending the session.
03One daily claim for the account
You can receive the reward once per account per day. Extra characters do not provide additional daily claims for the same account.
Progress accumulates across completed days. If you miss a day, your progress does not return to zero; continue working toward the next reward while the event is available.
The event dates are given in UTC, but the cited overview does not establish a separate daily reset hour. Check the current event interface rather than assuming your local midnight is the reset.
04Selected rewards worth planning around
The schedule has 14 accumulated reward days. These are selected milestones; the full official reward list is linked below. Item expiry matters even when you have finished the daily task.
| Accumulated day | Selected reward | Expiry or restriction |
|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | Snail pet | Untradeable; expires November 18, 2026 at 23:59 UTC and cannot be revived. |
| Day 1 | Pet Food ×30 | Tradable within the same world; 30-day duration. |
| Day 1 | Red Potion ×30 and Blue Potion ×30 | Tradable within the same world; permanent. |
| Days 2 and 10 | Safety Charm ×3 | Untradeable; 7-day duration. |
| Days 4 and 12 | Regular Store Permit | Untradeable; 7-day duration. |
| Day 14 | Item Megaphone ×2 | Untradeable; 7-day duration. |
05If you miss a day or a leaf will not drop
Missed yesterday? Continue from your existing accumulated progress. Playing another character does not bypass the once-per-account daily limit.
No leaves yet? Check that you accepted the event quest and that the monsters are level 10 or above. Drops are random, so a short run without a drop does not establish that the event is broken.
This guide summarizes the October 21 official announcement, without hands-on testing. It does not promise completion time, a drop rate, or an event extension.
