The goal is to maintain more yellow music boxes than purple music boxes (note, it is different from having 5 yellow music boxes) '''in 3 minutes'''. If there are more purple music boxes than yellow, the bar will become more purple; if the reverse is true, it will become more yellow.
{{Stub}}
*The number matters: if there is a significant difference, the bar will move more; if there is a small difference (3 vs 2), the bar will barely move (but over time it is visible)
Clear Limit: 3 per week per character.
**5 purple box, 0 yellow box: bar shifts by 7.5% towards purple every second
**4 purple box, 1 yellow box: bar shifts by 4.5% towards purple every second
**3 purple box, 2 yellow box: bar shifts by 1.5% towards purple every second
**2 purple box, 3 yellow box: bar shifts by 1.5% towards yellow every second
**1 purple box, 4 yellow box: bar shifts by 4.5% towards yellow every second
**0 purple box, 5 yellow box: bar shifts by 7.5% towards yellow every second
*Every stage starts with 50% yellow 50% purple bar, with 3 purple music boxes and 2 yellow music boxes.
*Tactic board shows the map layout, you will start from the middle.
**Purple square indicates purple box at that area, you should tend to that area.
**Yellow square indicates yellow box at that area, you can ignore that area for awhile.
**If it is blinking and it is originally yellow, means it is turning purple, prepare to rush there.
**If it is blinking and it is originally purple, means it is turning yellow, keep hitting.
*Every stage cleared gives Dream Points that you can use to help yourself in later stages. Dream Points are stored forever in your character (max 3,000 Dream Points can be stored)
*There is an unlimited number of stages, each stage will increase the HP of music boxes and monsters.
*You failed the stage if either of these 2 situation happens:
**Reached 3 minutes time limit but the bar is still not fully yellow
**Bar is fully purple
*Every 10 stage is a checkpoint, if you cleared that stage you can start from there directly ('''however if you started from there and you failed straight away, you get no rewards''')
*Starting from 30 stage, every 10 stage you can claim a useless medal for achievement purposes.
*Ranking is based on depth (stages), then speed (time taken for the last stage)
*Top 5 Dream Breaker ranking will be displayed as NPCs in Lachelein (left of clocktower), when you entered Dream Breaker 3 times for the day you can go to each one and get Dream Coins. (24~36 Dream Coins in total) Distribution as follows:
**1st place: 10~14 Dream Coins
**2nd, 3rd place: 5~7 Dream Coins
**4th, 5th place: 2~4 Dream Coins
*Daily Limit 3 entries per day. '''Dream Breaker is closed at the last 30 minutes of Sunday to the first 30 minutes of Monday''', so take note if you wish to perform the quest near reset time.

*Helping diagram (credits to inven user 시푸아, original post: https://www.inven.co.kr/board/maple/2304/28788): https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/248315264104529920/1008036235949916211/Screenshot_20220813-233538_Chrome.jpg
When using the diagram, the cannon's power is assumed to be at or near the maximum.
 
Kill 15 monsters to obtain erdas to charge Shumet's Cannon. '''You can hold up to 10 charges'''. There are 10 dimensional gates (the locations are indicated in the minimap). Use Shumet's Cannon by standing on it and pressing the "Sit" button.
 
When mounted, you can use Erda Shell (cannonball) or Super Erda Shell (laser). Erda Shell costs 1 charge while Super Erda Shell costs 3 charges. The controls available while mounted are:
*Change Angle: Up/Down arrow keys
*Shoot: Spacebar
*Camera View: Shift + Arrow keys (Shift must be held down throughout, letting go would reset the camera back to normal). Use the camera view to help you visualise the actual locations of the dimensional gates.
'''You cannot obtain Erdas while mounted on the cannon, even if summons killed monsters'''. When using Erda Shell, the cannon's power oscillates between minimum and maximum, and the power when the space bar is pressed is used to fire the cannon. When using Super Erda Shell, there is no power involved as it will fire in a straight line like a laser.
 
Every 3 minutes, when killing monsters, Shumet's Covering Fire may drop. Picking it up would instantly kill 2 leftover dimension gates randomly.

Both symbols and mesos are needed to increase the symbol level.
 
You can use a lower growth symbol to combine with a higher growth symbol at no additional cost, but mesos used on the lower growth symbol are not refunded. This makes it possible to exceed the required symbol for the next level, and the excess is carried over (in the case of level 20, excess symbol also counts when using an Arcane Catalyst)
 
You may refer to this for the total meso cost in table format (credits to player whackybeanz of MapleSEA): https://whackybeanz.com/calc/symbols
 
For daily quest EXP, you can refer to: https://whackybeanz.com/calc/everything-exp
 
(Erda Spectrum, Hungry Muto and Dream Breaker EXP is excluded, EXP awarded is available once daily per area per world, not per character)
 
Arcane Symbols will increase your Final Stats and Arcane Force.
*All Jobs (except Xenon and Demon Avenger): 100 Final Primary Stat per 10 Arcane Force from Arcane Symbols
*Xenon: 48 Final STR, 48 Final DEX, 48 Final LUK per 10 Arcane Force from Arcane Symbols
*Demon Avenger: 2,100 Final HP per 10 Arcane Force from Arcane Symbols
 
====Transferring Arcane Symbols====
From the [[MapleStory/Maple Union|Union Coin Shop]], for 300 Union Coins, you can buy an Arcane Catalyst, up to 3 per character weekly '''(not available in Reboot Worlds)'''. Use it to destabilize an Arcane Symbol '''Level 2 or higher''' to turn it into an Unstable Arcane Symbol. It will have the following characteristics:
*Symbol Level drops back to Level 1
*Total Symbol EXP reduces to 80% of original, rounded up.
*Tradable within the account
Place in storage to transfer it to another character. That character must meet the following requirements to stabilise it to use that Arcane Symbol.
*Completed the corresponding town's story quests (Obtained an Arcane Symbol for that town)
*The same symbol must not exist in the same character (whether or not equipped), so the character must '''throw away existing duplicate symbols to stabilize it''' (Dream Coins, Spirit Coins, and symbol exchange coupons are allowed however).
Once stabilized, symbol becomes untradeable. '''Final Stat boost will be adjusted to match the job'''. You will then have to pay mesos to bring the Arcane Symbol back to higher levels if applicable.
 
The growth conversion is as follows, assuming all mesos are paid after the conversion.

==Arcane Quickpass==
At the first 6 Arcane River towns, you can talk to Spiegelmann to instantly complete daily quest by '''paying 500 Maple Points per quest, or 2,000 Maple Points per weekly special content attempt''' (however, only the maximum attempts option is available, so the service cannot be used partially). '''Quickpass cannot be used from 11.50pm to 12.30am daily'''. Arcane River progress discount will be applied to Quickpass.


{{Footer Nav|game=MapleStory|prevpage=Towns/Temple of Time|nextpage=Towns/Temple of Time}}
'''Achievements will not be awarded for using Quickpass and only Arcane Symbols or the exchange coupons will be awarded. EXP for weekly special contents are not paid, but the daily quest EXP can still be obtained if it is not claimed yet (once per world per area daily).''' In the same way as completing the daily quest normally, a prompt is given to ask if you want to receive the EXP if available, and rejecting it will not use the chance count for EXP, but it will award only the arcane symbols or the exchange coupons.
