A fusion of all worlds beyond time and space that was destroyed.
A scattered breath of life in a flowing river.
Waiting at the end of this river, Black Mage.

The Arcane River is a world located beyond the Temple of Time's Gate to the Present. Behind the Gate of the Present lies a convergence of three different worlds - Maple World, Grandis, and Friends World - with the Black Mage awaiting the player at the end. It is suitable for players Level 200 and above who have completed their Fifth Job Advancement.

The Arcane River is created from high-grade Erdas, the building blocks of reality, for which the player must meet the three Goddesses and awaken the ability to manipulate Erdas during the Fifth Job Advancement. Due to the Arcane Power present in this region, a new strength is required for Maplers to defeat the stronger Erda monsters found here. You will gain Arcane Symbols as you clear each major area, with Daily Quests and Weekly Arcane River Special Content that allow you to combine additional Arcane Symbols and enhance your equipped symbols. This region can be accessed on foot via the middle door in the Temple of Time's Three Doors, with Vanishing Journey serving as the first step towards the Black Mage.
