You log in. You grab your drink. You open the quest window. And then… nothing. Your MapleStory weekly quest did not reset. Again. Frustrating, right? Do not worry. You are not alone. And the good news? Most reset problems have simple fixes.
TLDR: Weekly quests in MapleStory may not reset due to time zone confusion, server reset schedules, unfinished prerequisite quests, character restrictions, or simple visual bugs. Most problems are fixed by relogging, changing channels, completing required pre-quests, or waiting for the official reset time. In rare cases, a ticket to support is needed. Try the six fixes below. They solve about 80% of reset issues.
Let’s break it down in a simple way. No complicated tech talk. Just practical solutions you can try right now.
Why Weekly Quests Sometimes Don’t Reset
First, understand this: MapleStory does not reset weekly quests at midnight for everyone.
Resets are based on:
- Server region
- Official reset schedule
- Game maintenance timing
- Your character’s progress
Sometimes the problem is not a bug. It is just timing. Other times, it is a small sync issue between your account and the server.

Fix #1: Double-Check the Official Weekly Reset Time
This is the number one cause.
Many players assume weekly reset happens:
- Sunday night
- Monday morning
- At local midnight
But MapleStory uses server time, not your local time.
Here is what you should do:
- Check your server region (NA, EU, etc.)
- Look up the official weekly reset day and time
- Convert that time to your local timezone
Sometimes you are simply a few hours early.
It happens more than you think.
Fix #2: Relog Completely (Not Just Channel Switch)
Yes, this sounds basic. But it works surprisingly often.
Sometimes the quest UI does not refresh automatically.
Try this:
- Log out to the character select screen
- Exit the game completely
- Wait 60 seconds
- Launch the game again
This forces the client to resync with the server.
Think of it like restarting your phone when apps act weird.
If the issue was visual, it should now be fixed.
Fix #3: Check If You Actually Completed Last Week’s Quest
This one surprises many players.
Some weekly systems require you to:
- Turn in the final reward
- Fully complete all stages
- Click a final confirmation button
If you forgot that last step, the game may not flag it as complete.
Open your quest log and check:
- Is it marked as “Completed”?
- Is it still sitting in “In Progress”?
- Did you forget to claim the reward?
If it is unfinished, complete it first. Then wait for next reset.
No completion = no new cycle.
Fix #4: Make Sure You Meet All Requirements
Some weekly quests require:
- A minimum level
- A certain story milestone
- A cleared boss
- A finished pre-quest chain
If you changed characters, this matters even more.
Your main character may qualify. Your alt might not.
Checklist:
- Did you level up recently?
- Did you skip a storyline?
- Did you switch to a new character?
Return to the NPC. Talk to them again. Sometimes the quest prompt appears only after dialogue.
Small interaction. Big difference.
Fix #5: Change Channels or Maps
This is a simple refresh trick.
When servers are busy, quest data may not update instantly.
Try:
- Switching to another channel
- Leaving the map and coming back
- Entering and exiting the Cash Shop
Why does this work?
Because it forces the game instance to reload your character data.
It is like nudging the server. “Hey. Update me.”
Many players fix their reset issue in less than a minute using this trick.
Fix #6: Check for Ongoing Maintenance or Known Bugs
Sometimes the problem is not you.
It is the server.
Weekly resets often align with maintenance schedules. If maintenance is delayed, the reset may also be delayed.
Do this:
- Visit official MapleStory announcements
- Check recent patch notes
- Look at community forums
- Search social media for player reports
If many players report the same problem, it is likely a server-side issue.
In that case, patience is your best option.
If no one else reports it? Then consider sending a support ticket.
Bonus: Weekly Boss vs Weekly Quest Confusion
This causes a LOT of confusion.
Weekly bosses and weekly quests may reset differently.
Some bosses reset:
- On a different weekday
- Per character
- Per world
While some weekly quests reset account-wide.
If your boss entry did not reset but your quest did, that may be normal.
Always confirm which system you are checking:
- Arcane River weekly?
- Guild weekly?
- Boss crystal limit?
- Event weekly mission?
They are not all synced.
When You Should Contact Support
If you tried all six fixes and:
- It has been 24+ hours past reset
- Other players have their reset
- Your character meets all requirements
- Relogging did not fix it
Then open a support ticket.
Include:
- Your server name
- Your character name
- The exact quest name
- A screenshot of your quest log
- The date and time you expected reset
This helps them fix it faster.
Common Myths About Weekly Resets
Let’s clear up some misinformation.
Myth 1: Reset happens at midnight local time.
False. It follows server time.
Myth 2: Deleting cache files fixes reset issues.
Usually unnecessary. Most issues are server-based.
Myth 3: You can “force-reset” a weekly quest.
Nope. You must wait for official reset.
Myth 4: It is always a bug.
Not true. Often it is timing or requirement-related.
How to Avoid Reset Confusion in the Future
Here are smart habits:
- Mark weekly reset time in your calendar
- Finish quests at least one day before reset
- Claim rewards immediately
- Track which character completed which quest
This prevents most headaches.
Organization = happier Maple life.
Final Thoughts
A weekly quest not resetting feels terrible. It messes up your progress. It delays your rewards. It ruins your grind plan.
But most of the time, the solution is simple.
Check reset times. Relog. Confirm completion. Review requirements. Change channels. Verify maintenance.
Six steps.
That is usually all it takes.
And if it still does not work? Support will help you.
Now go check that quest window again.
Your rewards might already be waiting.
