As announced earlier this month, Nexon has made sweeping changes to all of the side-scrolling MMORPG’s 14 original explorer classes in its big Destiny: Remastered update.

“The Explorers are the original classes of MapleStory! They've been the backbone of MapleStory for the last 17 years, and with the Destiny update all 14 Explorer jobs will be revamped! This revamp includes improved skills, better animations, new story segments to explore and more! While we've worked hard to make sure that the changes won't confuse Maplers with Explorer characters, you'll have plenty to play with and ‘explore’ with this refresh to MapleStory's oldest class of heroes!”

The update also introduces an array of quality-of-life improvements, including the removal of Mastery books, new boss difficulties, and new accessories. Details can be found in the full patch notes here.
