- All server team event - Start growing a unified MapleStory tree by gathering sunshine dropped from monsters all over Maple World. This will be an all server team effort.
Gaga will be collecting sunshine from all users on all servers. The more sunshine everyone gives, the bigger the Maple Tree will grow. Once the tree grows to its maximum size, Maple Leaves will fall for everyone, including Gold Maple Leaves. Be sure to grab the Gold Leaves to exchange it for a Maple Chair, weapon, or Maple Leaves. This event's all about working together!
