kMS ver. 1.2.218 – Touch of the Coordinator: Star Force!

The first patch of the Summer update, Touch of the Coordinator: Star Force has been released! This patch features an updated enhancement system, skill changes for 21 jobs, and new equipment!

MapleStory Touch of the Coordinator (Star Force)

Here’s the world selection screen, the cat is the aforementioned Coordinator, haha.

Equipment Enchant

The enhancement system has been reorganized! It still has similarities to the previous system though, you still need to use up all upgrade slots on an item before you can enhance it and there is a maximum number of stars.

However, you no longer use Enhancement Scrolls, you now enhance items with the Equipment Enchant UI (which is also used for scrolling with Spell Traces). Note: you can still use pre-existing Enhancement Scrolls but they will not be applicable to any of the new changes (i.e. their success rates have been unchanged and if they fail, they will destroy your item).

Star Force Enhancements

Welcome to the new Star Force enhancement system! It was designed to give more accessibility to enhancements, reduce the reliance on Cash items when enhancing, and give everyone an opportunity to reach higher stars.

First of all, you’ll notice you can see both the success rate and failure rate, along with the stats it will give. This gives a lot more clarity to the system and allows you to assess the risks of going for one more star. In addition, enhancing now costs mesos, the cost of which you can see on the bottom.

Star Force Enhancement Rates

There are now four possible results when enhancing. You can pass it and gain one star on your item, fail and the number of stars will not change, fail and the stars will downgrade by 1, or fail and your item will be destroyed.

Maximum Stars

The maximum number of stars on an item have been raised from 15 to 25! However, this only applies to some items as the limit on stars is now based off of the item’s level. You can see any item’s maximum number of stars by looking at the tooltip, either the stars on the top or the note on the bottom.

Superior equipment will have lower maximum stars.

  • Lv. 95 or lower: 5 stars (Superior equipment: 3)
  • Lv. 95 ~ 109: 8 stars (Superior equipment: 5)
  • Lv. 110 ~ 119: 10 stars (Superior equipment: 8)
  • Lv. 120 ~ 129: 15 stars (Superior equipment: 10)
  • Lv. 130 ~ 139: 20 stars (Superior equipment: 12)
  • Lv. 140 ~ 149: 25 stars (Superior equipment: 15)
  • Lv. 150 or higher: 25 stars (Superior equipment: 15)

Note: if you are using the old Enhancement Scrolls, you cannot go past 15 stars (if possible), you must use the Star Force system. Also, if your item has been scrolled with Miraculous Enhancement Scrolls, the stars will be blue. Items with blue stars are ineligible for the Star Force system and cannot go past 15 stars.

Enhancement Destruction

Also, to make enhancements better for everyone, there is no longer a destruction rate until the 13th star! From 1-12 stars, the only risk is that you will downgrade by 1 star if you fail an enhancement. Even after the 13th star, the destruction rate is fairly low, until you reach the 20th star or higher. But don’t worry if your item gets destroyed, as Equipment Traces will be your saviour! I’ll talk about that a little bit later.

There is also a downgrade protection system at 10, 15, and 20 stars. When you reach these stars, there is no chance of going below them any more, if you fail an enhancement at those thresholds the item’s stars will remain unchanged.

In addition, if you fail two enhancements on an item in a row, you’ll get a Chance Time in which your next enhancement on that same item will have a 100% success rate no matter what star it is.

Enhancement Minigame

When you do decide to enhance your item and press the Enhance button, a minigame will begin! Stop the star inside the red band to raise the success rate of your enhancement!

Minar Forest Fallen Stars Clocktower Fallen Stars Deep Mine Fallen Stars

Fallen stars have landed in Minar Forest, Clocktower, and Deep Mine, changing the monsters there into stronger versions of themselves!

Fallen Stars Pam Mr. Pierre Scadur Warrior Raul

New quests have also been added to these areas, involving these fallen stars.

Red Portal

Maps affected by fallen stars can be identified by the red portals which lead to them. When you enter a fallen star map, you’ll receive a notice saying how much Star Force is required in that area.

Star Force Damage Difference

Monsters in these maps are much stronger but give better experience and rewards! However, only Maplers with the required Star Force will be able to hunt efficiently! The fallen stars have given the monsters a shield that protects them from damage from users with low Star Force.

This map for example requires 65 Star Force. If you have 0 Star Force, your damage will be terrible, if you have 37 Star Force, it will be about half. If you have 65 Star Force or more, you will do your regular damage.

Star Force

But what is Star Force you might ask? Star Force is the combined total number of stars on all the equipment you are currently wearing. Enhance your items to gain Star Force and challenge the monsters in fallen star areas!

Note: enhancements on overalls count as 2x their Star Force to make up for top/bottom combinations.

Equipment Traces

While you are enhancing, if you fail and your item is destroyed, don’t worry, Equipment Traces are here to help! Now, when an item is destroyed through enhancing, you’ll receive Traces of the equipment that was destroyed. These Traces will carry the item’s scrolled stats, additional options, potential (including additional potential), and the Soul information.

Equipment Inheritance

By using the Equipment Inheritance system in the Equipment Enchant window, you can use these Traces on an item of the same name to have it inherit the stats of your previous equipment! It is always successful and the new item’s information will be overwritten by the old item.

Skill Balancing

21 jobs in total have had adjustments to their skills in order to create better balancing.

Hero

Hero’s hunting ability is not very good. This is because they have no way of moving fast across a map. Although we could just increase their damage or skill range, we want to stay true to the Hero’s character concept. Therefore, Combo Force’s cost was removed, Self Recovery was improved and Rage Uprising’s cooldown was reduced to be more helping in hunting.

  • Combo Force Combo Force: Combo cost has been removed
  • Self Recovery Self Recovery: HP recovered has been increased from 1000 HP to 1500 HP
  • Rage Uprising Rage Uprising: cooldown has been decreased from 30 seconds to 10 seconds

Paladin

Paladins have high survivability but high damage at the same time. Our concept of the Paladin was to be able to tank a lot of damage, but they are too strong at the moment.

  • Void Elemental Void Elemental: elemental ignore has been removed, this skill has been renamed Elemental Force
  • Advanced Charge Advanced Charge: number of hits boost to Blast has been decreased from 2 to 1

Dark Knight

Dark Knights with 50% or higher buff duration boosts could always use Gungnir Descent without a cooldown. Our concept for it was to be a strong damaging skill which is not always available to use. In addition, Cross Over Chains gave way too much damage.

  • Beholder Beholder: cooldown has been increased from 60 seconds to 70 seconds
  • Cross Over Chain Cross Over Chains: total damage boost has been decreased from 100% to 80%
  • Sacrifice Sacrifice: duration has been decreased from 40 seconds to 30 seconds

Archmage (I/L)

Archmages’ ability to hunt and boss are both very bad. Therefore we have increased the damage of Chain Lightning, and have given them more damage passively.

  • Freezing Effect Freezing Effect: in addition to existing effects, when attacking Frozen enemies with lightning attacks, your damage will be increased by 8% per stack
  • Chain Lightning Chain Lightning: damage has been increased from 273% to 300%

Bowmaster

Bowmasters’ damage is low due to a lack of attack from their buffs and passives. In addition, we received a lot of complaints that Arrow Blaster was difficult to use compared to the 4th job Hurricane skill. Therefore we increased their attack and moved Arrow Platter and Hurricane around.

  • Extreme Archery Bow Extreme Archery: Bow: attack boost has been increased from 20 to 40, in addition to existing effects, this skill now gives 40% damage
  • Illusion Step Illusion Step: DEX boost has been increased from 40 to 80
  • Hurricane Hurricane: moved from 3rd job to 4th job, damage has been adjusted to 300%, an error where Final Attack sometimes did not activate has been fixed
  • Arrow Platter Arrow Blaster: moved from 4th job to 3rd job, damage has been adjusted to 181%, installed turret’s damage has been decreased from 153% to 125%, attack speed has been changed from 80ms to 120ms, an error where Final Attack sometimes did not activate has been fixed
  • Arrow Platter - Reinforce Arrow Blaster – Reinforce: changed to Hurricane - Reinforce Hurricane – Reinforce: Hurricane’s damage is increased by 20%. [req. level: 155]
  • Arrow Platter - Boss Killer Arrow Blaster – Boss Killer: changed to Hurricane - Boss Killer Hurricane – Boss Killer: Hurricane’s boss damage is increased by 10%. [req. level: 177]
  • Arrow Platter - Extra Target Arrow Platter – Extra Target: changed to Hurricane - Split Damage Hurricane – Split Attack: Hurricane’s damage is reduced to 65% but its number of hits is increased by 1. [req. level: 195]

Shadower

Shadowers need to collect 5 Killing Points in order to strengthen their skills, but otherwise their damage is low. To solve this, Killing Points now have a maximum of 3 and some skills’ delays have been adjusted. In addition, Assassinate’s high percent damage hits the cap a lot so we increased its limit. Also, Asassinate’s effect was changed due to comments given to us.

  • Muspelheim Muspelheim: skill delay has been decreased from 1200ms to 1020ms

Shadow Partner Effect (1) Shadow Partner Effect (2) Shadow Partner Effect (3)

  • Shadow Partner Shadow Partner: skill casting effect has been changed

Assassinate Effect (1) Assassinate Effect (2)

  • Assassinate Assassinate: skill casting animation has been changed, delay has been decreased
  • Shadower Instinct Shadower Instinct: maximum Killing Points has been decreased from 5 to 3, extra attack per KP has been increased from 6 to 10
  • Assassinate - Limit Canceller Assassinate – Limit Canceller: maximum damage cap has been increased from 60,000,000 to 70,000,000

Captain

Captain’s Fusillade’s delay is too long and lacks the ability to hunt high defense enemies. In addition, Rapid Fire’s damage and Captain’s bossing ability are low. We adjusted the delay of Fusillade and increased their maximum HP. We wanted to increase the damage of Rapid Fire but there was a fear of Phantom becoming too strong so we increased Captain Dignity’s damage instead.

It makes sense that each skill should have a different role, but for Captains, both Rapid Shot and Head Shot are 1:1 skills. In order for both skills to have their own roles, we have deleted the Head Shot – Cooltime Reduce skill and replaced it with a Boss Killer upgrade. We have also adjusted Quick Draw.

Now, Captain has powerful hunting patterns in which they can use Rapid Shot and every now and then, Quick Draw into Head Shot for more damage.

  • Fusillade Fusillade: skill delay has been decreased from 1410ms to 1110ms
  • Crew Commandership Crew Commandership: in addition to existing effects, this skill now gives 5000 HP passively
  • Captain Dignity Captain Dignity: damage has been increased from 100% to 250%
  • Head Shot Head Shot: damage has been decreased from 800% to 500%, number of hits has been increased from 4 to 8
  • Quick Draw Quick Draw: damage boost has been increased from 30% to 50%
  • Rapid Fire - Add Range Rapid Fire – Add Range: range boost has been increased from 50 to 100
  • Head Shot - Boss Killer NEW! Head Shot – Boss Killer: Head Shot’s damage to bosses is increased by 20%.
  • Head Shot - Cooltime Reduce REMOVED! Head Shot – Cooltime Reduce

Evan

Evan has enough damage compared to other magician characters, but they lack the ability to move quickly with Teleport, making their hunting less efficient. Therefore we increased the distance of Teleport.

  • Teleport Teleport: distance moved has been increased from 150 to 255

Mercedes

Mercedes is not very efficient at hunting, and we wanted to return to her stylish elf archer concept with skills like Ring of Ishtar and Legendary Spear. Therefore, to create more stylish play patterns, we gave them the ability to link together skills and gave more damage when linking them. In addition, we increased Leap Tornado’s damage. People complained that each of the debuffs durations were too short so we lengthened them, but Legendary Spear without a cooldown was too strong so we added one back.

  • Strike Dualshot Strike Dualshot: can now be linked with Charge Drive, Unicorn Spike, Legendary Spear, and Lightning Edge
  • Leap Tornado Leap Tornado: damage has been increased from 195% to 215%, can now be linked with Gust Dive and Legendary Spear
  • Unicorn Spike Unicorn Spike: debuff duration has been increased from 15 seconds to 30 seconds, can now be linked with Charge Drive, Strike Dualshot, Legendary Spear, and Lightning Edge
  • Gust Dive Gust Dive: can now be linked with Charge Drive, Strike Dualshot, Leap Tornado, Unicorn Spike, Legendary Spear, and Lightning Edge
  • Highkick Demolition Highkick Demolition: can now be linked with Leap Tornado, Gust Dive, Legendary Spear, and Rolling Moonsault
  • Ignis Lore Ignis Roar: in addition to existing effects, this skill now gives you 3 attack every time you link a skill (stacks up to 10 times) for 10 seconds
  • Legendary Spear Legendary Spear: damage boost to Leap Tornado has been increased from 30% to 60%, debuff duration has been increased from 15 seconds to 30 seconds, cooldown of 5 seconds has been added, can now be linked with Leap Tornado and Gust Dive, in addition to existing effects linking skills will reduce Legendary Spear’s cooldown by 1 second for each skill used
  • Lightning Edge Lightning Edge: debuff duration has been increased from 15 seconds to 30 seconds, can now be linked with Charge Drive, Strike Dualshot, Unicorn Spike, and Legendary Spear
  • Rolling Moonsault Rolling Moonsault: can now be linked with Leap Tornado, Gust Dive, and Legendary Spear

EunWol

EunWol’s movement speed is low and linking skills together is clunky. Therefore we have added some speed and changed the skills to automatically do all of their hits with one skill press. However, this might be inconvenient at times so you can now move or jump to cancel the skill while its being used.

  • Spirit Bond 2 Spirit Bond 2: in addition to existing effects, now gives 20 speed
  • Mega Punch Mega Punch: now automatically hits twice with one key press
  • Island Strike Island Strike: now automatically hits twice with one key press
  • Ground Strike Ground Strike: now automatically hits twice with one key press
  • Shockwave Punch Shockwave Punch: now automatically hits three times with one key press
  • Bomb Punch Bomb Punch: now automatically hits four times with one key press

Flame Wizard

Flame Wizard’s Orbital Flame’s damage added up very fast and was too powerful. In addition, Blazing Extinction’s attack range was high enough that you could use the skill to hunt by itself. Therefore we have decreased Orbital Flame’s number of hits and movement speed, as well as decreasing Blazing Extinction’s range.

  • Orbital Flame Orbital Flame: number of hits has been decreased from 2 to 1, speed has been decreased
  • Orbital Flame II Orbital Flame II: number of hits has been decreased from 2 to 1, speed has been decreased
  • Orbital Flame III Orbital Flame III: number of hits has been decreased from 3 to 2, speed has been decreased
  • Orbital Flame IV Orbital Flame IV: number of hits has been decreased from 3 to 2, speed has been decreased
  • Blazing Extinction Blazing Extinction: attack range has been decreased

Wind Breaker

Wind Breakers were too powerful. Therefore we reduced some of their damage.

  • Fairy Turn Fairy Turn: damage has been decreased from 195% to 175%
  • Gust Shot Gust Shot: damage has been decreased from 285% to 260%
  • Sky's Song Sky’s Song: damage has been decreased from 370% to 345%
  • Trifling Whim III Trifling Whim III: damage has been decreased from 280% to 260%

Night Walker

Our concept for Night Walker was to have strong bossing capabilities while giving up the ability to hunt well, but it was too good at both. Therefore, we lowered the number of bounces of Shadow Bats and also decreased Quintuple Throw’s boss damage. We also received complaints about Siphon Vitality’s duration so we increased it.

  • Bat Communion Bat Communion: number of bounces has been decreased from 2 to 1
  • Bat Communion III Bat Communion III: number of bounces has been decreased from 2 to 1
  • Siphon Vitality Siphon Vitality: duration has been increased from 5 seconds to 10 seconds
  • Quintuple Throw - Boss Killer Quintuple Throw – Boss Killer: boss damage has been decreased from 20% to 10%

Demon Slayer

In a previous balance patch, we added a slow effect to Demon Impact but it didn’t apply to Evil Torture and it wasn’t useful so we corrected that. There was an error where Force was not being automatically recovered, making hunting a bit more difficult. We fixed the error so you can have a seamless battle experience.

  • Evil Torture Evil Torture: Demon Impact’s slow effect now activates this skill
  • Max Force Max Force: an error where Force was not being automatically recovered has been fixed

Battlemage

Battle Mage’s skill damage were low and their buff skills had long delays. Therefore we added a new skill which gives them invincibility when revived and increased their skill damage. Also, we changed some skills’ buff durations to unify them.

  • Spirit of Freedom NEW! Spirit of Freedom: The Resistance’s strength and desire for freedom gives 5 seconds when invincibility if revived. (Beginner skill)
  • Quad Blow Quad Blow: damage has been increased from 155% to 165%

  • Big Crunch Aura Big Crunch Aura: buff duration has been increased from 150 seconds to 200 seconds

Wild Hunter

Wild Hunter’s mount acts as a penalty due to its buffs and long skill delays. Therefore, we added a new skill which gives them invincibility when revived and enhanced its buffs. We also unified buff durations and we added some passive HP to Beast Form. Finally, Rampage as One’s cooldown was reduced to be more useful while hunting.

  • Spirit of Freedom NEW! Spirit of Freedom: The Resistance’s strength and desire for freedom gives 5 seconds of invincibility when revived. (Beginner skill)

  • Rampage as One Rampage As One: cooldown has been decreased from 60 seconds to 15 seconds

Mechanic

Mechanic’s mount acts as a penalty due to its set up time, including its transformations for various skills. Therefore, we added a skill which gives them invincibility when revived, adjusted the delay of many skills, and increased the damage of Heavy Machine-gun so that its worth taking the penalty it has.

  • Spirit of Freedom NEW! Spirit of Freedom: The Resistance’s strength and desire for freedom gives 5 seconds of invincibility if revived. (Beginner skill)
  • Metal Armor Prototype Metal Armor: Prototype: skill delay has been decreased

  • Laser Blast Laser Blast: skill delay has been decreased from 1110ms to 900ms

Xenon

Xenon’s 3rd job hunting ability is low so we increased some skills’ damage.

  • Combat Switching Explode Combat Switching: Explosion: damage has been increased from 200% to 220%
  • Combat Switching Shoot DOwn Combat Switching: Shoot Down: damage has been increased from 250% to 270%
  • Combat Switching Divide Combat Switching: Split: damage has been increased from 251% to 271%

Mikhail

There was no reason for Soul Rage to have a cooldown since it switches between being able to attack multiple mobs and 1 monster.

  • Soul Rage Soul Rage: now an On/Off skill

Kaiser

We thought it was awkward that after you use Final Figuration, you can only use a certain number of skills. Therefore you can now use all active attack skills in Final Figuration. We also increased the damage of some skills to increase hunting efficiency in 2nd and 3rd job.

  • Flame Shot Flame Shot: can now be used in Final Figuration
  • Impact Wave Impact Wave: damage has been increased from 250% to 270%, can now be used in Final Figuration

Angelic Burster

Angelic Burster has very high damage skills but their damage cap was low so we added an increased cap. We also created a new skill to increase the number of hits that Angelic Burster can do.

  • Affinity IV Affinity IV: in addition to existing effects, this skill now increases your maximum damage cap by 20,000,000
  • Soul Seeker Expert NEW! Soul Seeker Expert: When using active skills (except for Soul Seeker), your attacks will have a chance to automatically trigger Soul Seeker. (required skill: level 20 Soul Seeker) (max level: 10)
    • Level 10: 35% chance to summon a Soul Seeker which does 70% of Soul Seeker’s damage

SP Acquisition

SP acquisition for 4th job has been reorganized! Now, you will get all of your SP for 4th job by the time you reach level 140 (255 SP). Now, every level up with a level ending in 0, 3, 6, or 9, you’ll get twice the regular SP. Also, every 10 levels, starting at level 111/121/131, you’ll get 1 extra base SP.

After level 140 you will no longer gain 4th job SP. These SP changes do not affect Zero or Evan. Many skills have had their master levels adjusted in order to make up for these SP changes.

The price of Mastery Books have been decreased, 3 million mesos for Mastery Book 20 and 5 million mesos for Mastery Book 30.

In order to make bosses such as Magnus, Hilla, and Van Leon more accessible to lower levels, Easy Magnus and Easy Van Leon have had their difficulty lowered. In addition, a new Easy Mode Horntail has been added for users level 130 and higher.

At the Cave of Life, Keroben has fled, meaning you no longer need a Transformation Elixir!

It is now also split into Normal (advancement quests, recommended quests, special content like Evolving System, party quests, hunting areas, and theme dungeons) and Hard (bosses, fallen star areas).

Elite Monster Changes

Elite Monsters have been adjusted, now the skills they have are based on their level and the level of monsters around them. In addition, for bonus stages, now whichever player hits a Mimic to drop its prizes is the only one that can pick up those prizes, you can now only get 3 special items per bonus stage, and the 50% Innocent Scroll has been added as a possible prize.

Set effects have been added for the level 110 Dragon set. It gives 110 defense, magic defense, accuracy and avoid for 2 pieces, 6% HP and MP for 3 pieces, and 6 attack/magic attack and 6 stat for 4 pieces.

Buhizel Weapons

New level 120 weapons called Buhizel weapons will now drop from monsters level 115~129. You might notice the Ecletic armor and Buhizel weapons look just like the Reverse/Timeless set, this is because Reverse, Timeless, Loveless and Abyss equipment and recipes and the Chaos Pink Bean Mark will no longer drop.

Necro Warrior SetNecro Magician SetNecro Archer SetNecro Rogue SetNecro Pirate Set

A new level 120 set called the Necro armor will now drop from Hilla. It consists of five parts: a hat, overall, gloves, and shoes as well as the pre-existing weapon. This set actually looks really cool!

Boss Accessory Set

New accessories have been added which drop from different bosses! Zakum drops the eye and face accessories, Magnus drops the badge and shoulderpads, Horntail drops the earrings and ring, and Pink Bean drops the belt and pocket item. I believe all modes of these bosses drop them (Easy Horntail and Magnus do so it should be the same for all of them).

But what about Evans 😥 Are their skills going to be adjusted so that they will also get 5th job advancement but like at 160 + or 170 + Hoping it will be fair for all classes 😀

    Well its been fun playing Angelic buster for almost 2 years now but its time to quit since KMS just doesnt give a @$@#% about that class anymore… worst revamp or buff or whatever u want to call it… Angelic Buster has been the most nerfed class in the game to the point of been one of the least played classes similar to mechanics… This is just dumb balancing imo… 35% proc rate chance in skills that we mainly dont use when bossing, increasing 20m to cap it cannot be compared to the damage lines most classes have. Very disapointing patch and i am tired of waiting for a decent AB comback i dont want AB to be as OP has when they were first release but at least make it a decent class to play with cuz right now it is just @$%@# Soul Seeker been our main Bossing skill has been cut from 4 to 2 orbs, from spammable to non spammable, not to metion that it is not affected by attack speed, AB doesnt have attack speed booster, AB is the class with the least amounts of lines x attack and we are stuck at %@#%$@ 50m cap… AB have 2 useless skills Melody Cross & pretty exaltation…and what else can i say… oh yes 35% proc rate chance is just meh why dont u make it 50% or at least 40%…35% is just trollish… why dont they make cap damage for AB to 100m so at least we can deal some dcent damage with trinity skill… why dont they make Soul Seeker expert which is ment to be an Soul seeker upgrade to increase number of orbs from 2 to 3 at least…:hothead:

    Face it guys, there’s not enough hype for 5th job right now, they’d have to make a miracle to make the next job tier be available on September-October (just a guess), we’d might have to wait a whole year (GMS-wise) for 5th job to come to us and by then the hype’s going to be gone.

    Also, do you even think those “rebalances” are worth waiting? Look at most pirate classes (I am not a pirate main or anything but I despise Nexon’s mediocre attitude towards them), and don’t get me to talk about the rest, DB is still pretty weak, AB is still underpowered, most other classes got such minor changes that should had been made years ago, but Nexon is so lazy that they barely care about them.

    Last but not least, this game is a masterpiece in draining your money, it’s pretty well made to allure people to spend money on something that is not worth the time, I know it’s your money and you do w/e you want with it but don’t you feel this game is more like a disguised casino or something similar to it? You literally HAVE to spend money to be able to boss, the other “fair” way is to farm the events 24/7 like a slave for the rest of your life to archieve something pointless and pretty much based on your luck to be like a “pro”, that or just spend the money you get from selling your house, car and probably your organs.

    TL; DR: Nexon is so lazy and mediocre towards this game that, until now, they realize the players are quitting and they are trying to make something up to keep them playing, they fail miserably but they still try, this game is not P2W (because, really, you win nothing) but rather a heavy money-scheming masterpiece that keeps those stubborn people playing and sucking their money away to archieve something completely pointless and unrewarding. That’s my 2 cents.

    PD: Sorry for my english :/.

    I have a question about the equipment trace. Lets say you have an item and that u innocence it and boom it intentionally just to have the potential. And then lets say you have already scrolled equipment that is the same to the one you boom. Will the stats on the equipment without the potential be erased to which it becomes clean… since u innocenced the one that boomed with the potential if you combine them? Thank you…. lol just to make sure so i can start scrolling a new set of cra armor with icogs then innocence and boom the ones i have now to get the potential only.

    • Max
      July 27, 2014 at 8:24 pm

      Your explanation is a bit confusing… but when you use an Equipment Trace on an item, it overwrites every stat with the Trace’s stats. You cannot combine a scrolled item with a Trace’s potential, you will just get a clean item with the potential.

    I think and believe that nexon right now care only about these ” played” and popular classes.. like warriors and archers and mages… while pirates being basically “fuck off pirates whos even playing pirates so it will worth for us balance them”
    at this moment I believe they should let pirates just change to any job they want and just remove pirates… I mean these changes not only are not buffing captain dps which is lowest in the game they actually nerf captains and more than nerf them they also make their play style even more annoying to play and more times to stop attacking to buff and changes.. more than this for people with decent ping like 200+ ping this change from rapid fire into quick draw and headshot takes forever so we wont even use this once.. so this is a hugeeee nerf and no one is going to play captain after this patch in gms.

        Zero is strong, but it does have its weaknesses. You see, Zero has nothing and everything he needs at the same time. Zero may be like playing 2 different classes at once in SOME ways, but its also like playing 2 HALVES of a class in OTHERS.

        boy that is some fucked up shit right there they make the attack slower and weaker unlike other classes who just got weaker now if you were hitting max dmg 3 times you can only hit max dmg 2 times that is the worse nerf in maple history

          I dont see why they have to slow it down for orbital flame though :/ and also making blaze wizard’s mobbing skills worse by lowering hits and damage…..。・゜・(ノД`)・゜・。

    People shouldn’t complain about obvious things. You knew what you were getting into when you picked your class to main. Example, look at the ‘Hero” class. The way you use one is pretty damn outdated, yet some people still manage to enjoy it. Apply the same things to the classes mentioned here.

    One set of patch notes that includes BOOSTS to certain classes, and somehow it’s treated as a bad thing.

    You can say it’s Nexon, but it’s because it’s Nexon that you should know what you’re getting into with the classes you pick. It doesn’t matter which regional version you’re in, since they’re all connected in the end, which means Nexon = Nexon. It may be Nexon’s fault for being lackluster, but it’s the player’s fault for their choice, only because they’re bashing Nexon for their choice. If you like it yet find it repetitive, well, that’s MS for you. You’re not the only one suffering with a class they like that has repetitions.

    And everyone knows that Nexon needs to do major changes to many classes, most of which are obsolete in damage and play-style. Some play too similarly, making it’s existence pointless. Will September fix that? Probably not. Will 5th change it? Only if they can add enough variety to make up for things, so probably not.

    Have expectations and you’ll get it crushed. So enjoy what you have, and enjoy the game for what it is. Unless you’re not playing it as a game.

    I thought in the previous KMST patch they decided to leave the mercedes’ ignis roar skill alone, why did they put it back to 3 attack per line for 10sec? it hurts dps alot ._.

    Aww does that mean that Blaze Wizard will be weaker in the next update for gms because my damage is already low enough TT^TT and i usually have to keep spamming the mp potion key DX which then wastes most of my mesos 。・゜・(ノД`)・゜・。

    And lowering the number of hits for orbital flame seems kind of bad and lowering blazing extinction…guess its later going to be a kind of weak class that could be easily killed then…except its still kind of fun i guess……..

    Whats weird is that they also don’t change the night walker’s number of hits nor make it slower and yet blaze wizard is lower hopefully gms will look at this CAREFULLY and change some things is the main point of blancing keeping 12 or 5 jobs better things they didn’t even do aran and evan revamp! -_-;

    “Paladin’s were too strong?” Lol are you kidding me? paladins barely do 8 hits and super slow, the boss a paladin can kill in 10 minutes most classes can kill in less than 5…what the hell is wrong with you people? You basically want to take away the only offense paladins have, so what will be left for them? Tanking? Who needs tanking really if every other class they either avoid dying from bosses by other means rather “pure tanking.” Almost no one plays paladins as it is due to the difference in time for bossing compared to other classes, and now you want to make it weaker…well that is just great, might as well remove the class.

      how can paladin be too strong when u have to rebuff every 45 secs and its attack speed is far inferior to almost every other class. that’s a bunch of BS.

    You boost the already OP classes further, like Kaisers and weaken the classes that should be boosted like paladins and wind archers

    Its funny to read all the comments about people complaining that they want better stuff done to there classes, when AB’s, Phantom’s, NL’s, and Dual Blade’s, and Aran’s get shit on EVERY TIME IN ALL OF THE UPDATES. Either we get nerfed(even more), nothing changes, or basically nothing changes cause they change something about a stupid skill that no one uses.

    Max, if an item is anvilled if you let it explode by using StarForce Enhancement, does an Equipment Trace contains data of ‘Anvilled’ items?
