kMSt ver. 1.2.389 – Mercedes!
Today a new patch was released to Tespia, and the new job Mercedes is available! Sadly, I don’t have a Tespia account right now (I hope I get in to the coming term!) but I have covered all the skills!
Everyone’s speed has been increased by 20%. The Quick Move system has been added. Click a button on the minimap and you can choose to be moved straight to a useful NPC on the map! All the quests in Victoria Island have been reorganized! They are now very good exp for those under level 30!
The Legend Festival has begun! Many items are available for purchase for Legend Coins in the Legend Store! A full AP reset, SP reset, advanced scrolls, many Legend weapons, many Legend scrolls, and many equipment are on sale! For more information, see my previous post.
The profession system was improved greatly. All levels of every profession now need half the amount of experience, and all crafting gives double experience. The amount of fatigue you have each day has been increased from 100 to 200. Fatigue replenishes itself faster now. You can now buy an Advanced or Expert ticket from Menz for the new hidden mining/herb rooms. Also, when crafting, you can now make more than 1 item at once. For example, if you have the materials to make 10 bronze plates, instead of making each one separately, just input 10 when it asks and you’ll make them all at once!
Many, many, MANY new items are now available to be crafted. Things like the White Angelic Bless ring, which gives 10 to all stats and 12 attack, and this Dominator Pendant, which gives 35 to all stats, 10% HP and MP, 5 attack and magic attack, and 15 speed and 10 jump! There are even potions that give invincibility, droprate/experience increases, and resistance to states!
The terrain of Nautilus Harbour has completely changed. Every single map has been reorganized! For example, here is the new interior of the Nautilus. In Henesys, the terrain was slightly changed. Two new monsters have been added in the Golem Temple area, Fire Mix Golem and Ice Mix Golem.
The third unicorn pet was added, Unicorn Genie! If you have all 3 Unicorn pets, you will gain access to the Pegasus Riding skill.
A new world will released with Cannon Shooter, it is called Legend. Another world will be released soon, when Mercedes is available to the regular server.
Please check past the cut for the skills of the legendary Hero Mercedes and more information about this patch!
Raising a Cannon Shooter or Mercedes to level 50 will give you the Legend Ring. This ring starts off with only 1 to all stats and 1 attack/magic attack, but level it up and it ends up with 4 to all stats and 3 attack/magic attack! It can be transferred within the account! Cannon Shooters also get a choice of 1 Special Mastery Book at level 70.
Something special about Mercedes is that she does not use arrows. Well, her Shield slot is replaced with her Magic Arrows. These are very special as they never run out, and most of all, they can be potentialed.

DANM!!!!!!!!!!!
:O
Can’t wait to see all the animations! So glad I subscribed- I would’ve never seen this post xD
Added them (:
Awesome animations and I can’t wait to try out this job! Thanks for the post 🙂
No problem~
Hey, I know you don’t have access to Kmst right now so this might be hard for you to answer, but where is the new Legend’s town situated? I heard Victoria Island but I’d like to know where abouts 😮
Also, I saw in the patch notes MANY quests were revamped (or possibly added o.O), What’s up with that?
Thanks.
There’s a portal that leads to the path to it somewhere in Ellinia 🙂
That has to do with the complete reorganization of quests on Victoria Island that I talked about in my Summer Update post. Basically, now the quests are really good exp for those under 30~
Ah, thank you :D!
No problem 😀
THANK YOU MAX LORDY.
You’re welcome 🙂
This is Jeri BTW LOL.
I know 😛
You are now officially my new Spadow. O_O
That’s cool
The skill animations are unbelievable. The class looks really fun too. I can’t wait!
Me either! I like their combo style 🙂
In your honest opinion max, is my BM crap compared to this o-o
Well, I have a bowmaster as well, and seriously, this class looks WAY better than both bowman jobs right now. They beat out Marksmen’s mobbing skills by far, they have awesome mobility, and they also have Hurricane along with Sniping. I think there will have to be many nerfs…
I REALLY LOVE THIS CLASS, but i think i have to say it…. it is kinda OP. Not extremely OP but a little. It gets 70Attack bonus from skills, unless it has a multiplier that isnt very high then that a bit much o:. But as i said before its not super OP. I look forward to making one and the skills look VERY original. It has many air based attacks which some other classes have but these attacks are actually based on how high you can jump, thats something nexon never did. Overall 9.5/10
Woah… mercedes just blew my mind
also awesome coverage of this new class and so fast too. good job max 🙂
What did Freed and afrien die!!!!???
You haven’t played/heard about the Evan story? 😮
Basically Afrien shields Freed from the Black Mage’s freezing curse and is frozen himself. But he leaves an Onyx Dragon egg that is hidden by Freed. Then Evan comes along and finds the egg and forms a spirit pact with it.
Wow, this class is great. I’m saving db mask and evan glass for it. I hope they wont nerf it
I want the full AP reset O.O
Probably is incredibly hard to get though but it would be sooooooo worth it.
wo….wo……..wow……….
I’m a marksman and this is just…i’m feeling bad for both the adventure archer classes right now 😦 Not only is our snipe (which had been our best bossing skill) crappy post chaos, but now there’s a better version of us out there, not only do they have the best bossing skills, but they also the better mobbing skills (which was something marksman could be proud of with our pierce)…not to mention all the other great boosts they have );
HOLY CRAP. I WANT.
I love the skill design! The skill design is amazing, both in terms of looks and effects! Especially all of that chaining with Charge Drive, and Unicorn Spike allowing my party members to inflict more damage against the affected monsters (instead of having a Rage/SE ripoff skill like I was almost expecting Nexon to do). I waited two years for the Archer Legend, and now I can’t wait!
It’s a shame that she had to have a Hurricane-type skill though, as it doesn’t fit in with the playing style at all (moving extremely quickly while attacking). I’m expecting major nerfs too, but I’m already sold!
Ok we archers finally get a nice update(jump) and then you bring the terror we had with (wild hunters) back again with Mercedes.. wth?
Why must everything this class do hit 6-8monsters 3-6 times? Every damn skill. And it gains hp from the attacks and it passively gains 10% hp and mp every 4secs? So i should def. quit my Bowmaster. There is absolutely no balance to the archer class.
Did anybody notice that Mercedes doesn’t have Soul Arrow? Unless they implement it into the official server, buying arrows will be a pain.
Her magical arrows are unlimited actually. So has a Passive soul arrow.
Actually, if you check before the skills, I have a part about her shield slot being replaced with a quiver of magical arrows.
Can Adventure Archers equip that magical quiver?
No we cannot because it takes up a Shield Slot. and we dont have a shield slot
No, its for Mercedes only.
I can see a nerf coming, and it was evident as soon as I saw the beginning skills and 1st job skills. Can anyone say “New and Improved Mechanic”? Great concept, absolutely disgusting crafting…
Thank you..really informative!!
My pleasure! 🙂
A full AP reset
fffffffffffffff
HOLY MOTHER FUCKING SHYT THIS IS MOTHER FUCKING AMAZING
Max good job again!!!!! and it’s good Spadow put up tht vid (: …I just noticed that Freud’s staff was actually the weapon that looked liked the spear in one of the Aran’s past pics…..Thanks to you Max I’m interested in the Mercedes class now 😀
Thank you! 🙂
Thanks for translating them ^^ Google translate gives me weird translations F3 keep it up will be cheecking often ^^
No problem! 😀
I can’t wait for this to be nerfed 🙂
I acctualy dont think this class will be nerfed to bad, if you look at the way it plays it will take some skill to be good at it, that and the dmg it does isnt extreamly op as it, sure some of its skills need to be a little tweeked but i actually think they did a pretty good rough start with this one.
Keep up the good work max !! we appreciate your info about latest kms updates
Thank you (:
Eurel BGM is ..sad..
Mercedes make all existing jobs in maple look like a J.O.K.E!
but nice info there, predict a huge nerf hammer hits them..XD
thank you ;D
can’t wait >0<
No problem 🙂
Quality blog you have over here! Keep up the good work, man! 😀
Thanks~ I’ll try my best~
And people thought the mechanic was overpowered…
I don’t play both archer adventurers but i can already see that she’s overpowered ==”
So much better than Shakar96… I believe you’re the next Spadow xD
I hope this class gets nerfed… BAD
It makes all the other bowman jobs a COMPLETE JOKE.
No. It doesn’t do that at all. People with no understanding of game mechanics and are unable to see the big picture need to stop talking. Flashiness does not equal power.
Compare the Bowman Jump updates to Mercedes. Mercedes occupies a spot in between Bowmasters and Marksmen (better mobbing than Bowmasters but worse 1 VS 1, better 1 VS 1 than Marksmen but worse mobbing than Marksmen), and doesn’t even have a party skill to boot. Mercedes also doesn’t have a max HP increasing skill.
wow theres 5 skills that attack many monsters at a time only in third job!! maybe its too just too much o.o
Isn’t that a bit too over power :O?
this might be the only archer class ill ever play
waiting for this class in GMS…
thanks this really helpful , anybody know when this jop come GMS
thanks this really helpful , anybody know when this jop come GMS?
above me – hahahaha we post same comment
I think the towns name is actually Eyurel and not Eurel which is what they said in the KMS forum.
Well it’s actually pronounced Eh-oo-rel, there’s no Y in there 😛
This may be off topic but, do you know if the Angelic ring’s buff and Dark Angelic Ring’s buff stacks? Thx if u answer o;
You can’t wear them together
How did you find the names of the skills? Did you make them up or are those names actually the names? Like Ishtar’s Ring. How did you get the name Ishtar?
It’s the actual name haha. The korean is 이슈타르의 링 which literally says, ee-shu-ta-r (‘s) ring.
Does the Legend Ring stacks with the other rings we already got like Resistance Ring, Lilin’s Ring, Evolving Ring and Explorer Ring.
I am wondering about this at the moment. I haven’t seen it got mentioned anywhere so far.
Thanks~
Yes it does 🙂
I’m wearing mine right now with my Gratias ring haha.
Would they probably get nerfed later? I guess so, because so many buffs adds %Dmg, Attack, and %Critcals.
There is only 6 more days until they’re released in kMS, if Nexon wants to make any changes they should do it soon haha.
Potentialed Arrows! Godly -_-
thanks nice info, new job Mercedes god’s of archer ^^
WOW
So do scrolls for bow att % work on the bow guns that come out with Mercedes?
Nope, they have new scrolls
Does magic arrows give an attack boost?
Nope, they have no stats. The only thing that changes is their level (and thus their potential tier).
um… in the video, what looks to be the strike dualshot hits 5 times… and yours say that it hits 4 times? Has there been a Jump/Nerf already?
Does mercedes have same cash inventory with adv?
Nope
