Players with a Cygnus Knight character that have reached the maximum level of 120 will have the chance to create a new Ultimate Explorer character and will be able to bypass early training and start at level 50, allowing them to quickly access higher level skills and quests. In addition, Cygnus Knights will be outfitted with the new skills, Empress' Shout and Empress' Prayer, that will allow them to participate in higher level content than ever before.Aftershock will also bring changes to the guild system, improving it by making it easier to create a guild and track member contribution, as well as offering better benefits. Maple Mesos players can start a guild by themselves, as long as they are at least a level 10 and can cover the lowered starting fee
