Drop items problem

[Applebrush]

So I'm just a potatic maplestory begginer who plays Ark, and during the Lv.35's main quest which requested me to bring 30 blue tubes from blue tube slimes of Gold Beach, I found something weird; Once I'd beaten the elite blue tube slime, other blue tube slimes are not dropping their items anymore, therefore I can't accomplish my main quest to continue Ark's story. I've tried with my another Ark character, and the same thing happened. I've also tried to just beat them for 2 whole hours, but they didn't even drop a single item. I'm really tired of this screwed problem, and I need someone's help. Is there anyone who'd the same problem as me and had fixed it later? Or is there anyone who have a resolution or can give an advice to me, please?

Nevermind, it was just because of the Rune's curse. Wait, how do we release the Rune? Does Ark have an accesibility to free the Rune? If not, then I should have to make another normal type character to go to release the Rune, right? Oh, Jesus...

[Applebrush]

Ok, I was such an idiot, nevermind at all. Interact/harvest key was the one which can free the Rune, and I didn't know that and just wasted 2 whole hours, wow, now I feel so empty.

But servers where literally bursting last weekend like, for real, some people couldn't even log in because of the massive population.

Back to op's post, make sure to check some of the in-game tutorials such as "tot's know-how" they provide some good information about the game features.

You're not the first new player I've come across who's had difficulty figuring out how to activate runes, so don't worry. Maplestory has a lot of things that can be a little tough to figure out at first. Google is your friend
