Zen was a special branch of the Explorer Pirate class, much like Cannoneer. It served as the equivalent to Jett, sharing many of the same skills but with a Martial Arts theme, as opposed to Jett's Alien Bounty Hunter theme. Zen used a Gun as a primary weapon and a Martial Fist (formerly a Treasure Box) as a secondary weapon.

Zen was available in ChinaMS, TaiwanMS, and MapleSEA. As of MSEA V199, CMS V176 and TMS V230, Zen character creation was disabled due to development restrictions, and this job has become the only job without a 4th V Skill. On February 24, 2021, Zen characters were converted to the new job Mo Xuan in CMS V178 and TMS V232, allowing them to convert their primary weapons and secondary weapons to Mo Xuan's. MapleSEA did not follow this, instead urging Zen characters to Job Transfer to other Explorer Pirate classes; Zen characters that did not job transfer were permanently deleted as of April 6, 2021.

Zen's skills will remain listed here.

Story

Zen is the son of Zhi Zun, Commander of the Hongwu Group. Zhi Zun was responsible for protecting the Emperor with his expertise in martial arts. Zen would train very hard, hoping that one day he would be as powerful as his father. One day, Zhi Zun sent his capable assistant, Suha, to train his son.

After a long period of training, Zen returned home thinking that his skills had improved significantly. However, he could not find any signs of Suha or his father at home. At that instant moment of his panic, Suha returned with serious injuries. Suha did not tell Zen what had happened, but asked him to run away immediately. Zen, worried about his father, rushed out and started searching for him. Zen discovered that the Palace was in total chaos. Suddenly, he heard sounds of a huge fight in the distance, and ran toward the source, thinking that his father would be there.

Upon reaching the scene of combat, Zen saw his father fighting a figure that resembled the Emperor, who appeared to be controlled by an unknown dark force. After an exchange of blows, the Emperor realized that Zhi Zun was too powerful. At that very moment, he saw Zen running into the battle. Thinking that Zen was a better target, the Emperor targeted him instead. Seeing that his son's life was in danger, Zhi Zun used himself to shield Zen from the Emperor's attack. The Emperor's attack injured Zhi Zun severely, and Zhi Zun could not continue with the battle. Realizing that his son was in grave danger, Zhi Zun ordered Suha to escape with Zen. Knowing that Zen was unwilling to leave without his father, Suha lied to Zen and told him that Zhi Zun would join them later. It was upon hearing this that Zen agreed to leave. As they reached the boat, Suha confessed to Zen that Zhi Zun had died during the fight, and that he asked her to give a chest to Zen. The chest contained a special treasure that granted Zen the power needed to exact revenge, and that it was now his responsibility to keep it safe.

As the boat sailed away, they encountered a horrible storm in the sea and the boat almost sunk. Luckily, they ran into Kyrin, who rescued both Zen and Suha. Surviving the fate of death on the sea, Zen began his journey to avenge his father's death.

Trivia

  • Jett was a completely identical class to this, as both of their entire skills' functions were identical. The only difference was the aesthetics, a few of the skills' sprite frames, Jett's link skill, and the story.

  • His leitmotif/theme BGM is ChivalrousFighter.
  • All Zen-related content has been removed over the years, including the following:
  • After Zen's removal, MapleSEA players who possessed Zen before were rewarded with an item named Memory of Zen, which would grant you legion effect and link skill effect within 30 days upon use. The item could be used until May 25, 2022.
