kMSt ver. 1.2.398 – Past Leafre, New Boss, Aran/Evan Renewal, and Cross Hunter!
This is a huge update, with a lot of new things added, including a new area, a new boss, new skills, and new content! Aran and Evan skills were reorganized again, and kMS finally gets Cross Hunter (Silent Crusade in gMS)! However, this version is completely different, with a completely different storyline. Doing the Cross Hunter quests is required to fight Akyrum. I’m very very excited! I’ve translated the patch notes below, sorry for the extreme lack of pictures! Once this stuff comes to kMS, I’ll be sure to make a really good looking post!
Also, I’m very mad right now because even though we got Cross Hunter, there is still no Monster Book in kMS. I hate you Nexon Korea.

I GUESS YOU WERE RIGHT
Evan magic guard 600 seconds.. and teleport mastery + dragon blink? I smell hackss…
Look at the new monsters.. GMS just got those today, and KMS doesn’t have them yet xD
So much for are “Exclusive Content”
Silent Crusade was never exclusive; CTF PvP mode is the exclusive mode.
no its not, jms has it
Yay, Evans finally got Teleport Mastery!
ikr? im so happy!
@Juan: Teleport Mastery and Blink would not be compatible, I’ll wager.
But the skill reorganization makes me very very very happy indeed…
Hurray for ARANS!!!
WAHOO!!!
Another buff!!!
No pirate revamp 😦
omigod
Max,what does the change of magic crash mean??
It means that after the effect of one Magic Crash is over, the monster won’t be affected by any Magic Crashes for 20 seconds (so in a party with more than one Crasher, no more constant Crash)
NO FUCKING PIRATE JUMP
WHAT THE FUCK MAN
NEXON MAN
WHY YOU DO DIS 2 ME
Shocker… KMS is now copying JMS??? 😮
Kms isn’t completely copying jms, they added more bosses then jms has.
however…. gms disappoints me greatly
nice post max 😀
Judging by the way it looks, Nexon is trying to align the Legend Classes to something similar to that of the adventurers that got buffed during “Jump!”. Look at the “Physical Training” for Arans, they look like the ones for Warriors, and same with “High Wisdom” for Evans. And I’d like to note that Mercedes got “Physical Training” as well, like the Bowmen in “Jump!”.
If they’re doing this, then chances are, they’ll do this for every Warrior, Mage, and Bowman class in the game, and repeat for Thief and Pirate (I’d like to note that Cannon Shooter got “Pirate Training” which is their version of “Physical Training”, and “High Wisdom”).
Dam… We cant spam magic crash on boss now…
Hey Max does nexon say anything about thief and pirate jump,thief and pirate hero
Not yet.
hm…. if aran hero jus gt back his memory >> the new skill NEW SKILL: Regained Memory
does it mean tat the aran job gt all his skill to max lvl?? nexon wtf??
now does any1 know the skill build for aran ?? kinda stuck for me here XD
NEW SKILL: Regained Memory: A skill obtainable through the Cross Hunter quests. Permanently increase attack by 10, defense by 300, speed by 10, critical chance by 5%, and damage on boss monsters by 5%.
Its for all job.
No, its for Aran only.
I hope we get the Thief / pirate update in the next patch..
;( why are we so neglected?
assasins need a upgrade badly.
Is this released yet in kms?
Nope, it just came out in kmst!
More freaking buffs for Arans? What about other jobs? -_-
i dont really think it is a buffs for aran since the skill build can be screw up if u add wrong
May I know the stats of the Immortal, Eternal items and all those new items?
I’ll add those in right now ^^
Thanks
Monster Book ? You mean like Codex in GMS ??
Yeah.
Hello there~ I want to ask you something max, in southperry the extractions(http://www.southperry.net/showthread.php?t=47703) said something Sharp eyes related with its max critical damage, is it getting removed or something? Can you confirm plz? (since youre a BM ofc) thanks~
It was just a variable name change, nothing was actually changed about the skill.
Really… still no thief or pirate revamp? 😡
Max can you please add if an item has slots or not? Especialy rings and shoulderpads..
Alright~
Is “Cross Hunter” and “Silent Crusade” the same thing? If so, then it’s strange that KMST would make “Cross Hunter” a level 75+ thing.
Not really, Nexon Korea just used the same NPCs and most of the items, but the storyline is completely different.
I really like how you efficiently inform about new patches, a la some-other-guy’s blog, but you show yourself more friendly and humble; you even take your time to answer questions, even simple or silly ones. Kudos to you Max, you’re doing a fantastic job and we all appreciate it.
… I think I like Cross Hunter better than Silent Crusade if it’s more in line with Maple’s main story. I guess that’s what we get for wanting things early.
Thank you!
so if gms is to evntually get this, how is the crusader quests supposed to intregrate with these?
nexon should just make final blow spammable xD
Maple Story Legend > Summer 2011
Maple Story (another parch revamp) > Winter 2011
another Aran/Evan revamp
I still waiting for a Jump patch for pirates, thiefs and now for beginner’s Skill =S
Do the 4 rings stack ? Also does the boss really DROPS them ? o.o (I haven’t make many bosses cause I’m not very high level so I don’t know)
Judging from the image of the Dominator Pendant, I’m guessing that he will drop recipes for them, not the actual items themselves.
Yes, you can wear them all together.
And I’m not sure if he drops them or the recipe, but I’m gonna assume recipe!
So finaly a 3rd tier Ring intresting. However can you also please tell me if it’s a one-of-a-kind item (only able to have 1 in invetory/equip) or if you can wear 4 of them?
You can only get one I think, since the rings come from the quests themselves, you don’t buy them from the shop.
Some of those monsters must had a major buff to be 75+ fights
thanks for the amazing updates!
My pleasure~ 🙂
thanks for the updates!
You’re welcome! 😀
Due to chaos patch, next time dual blades’s katara and dagger can add up to 60% boss damage, Anyone of you know whether after chaos patch, does ‘Total Damage’ stacks?
Hey Max! Just to know, the rings that Akryum drops can be potentialed? O.o
Yes, but they’re only level 50 so tier 1.
A Dream Come True Lifesaver (2 to all stats, 150 HP/MP, Lv. 35)
Is it me or does the above medal looks like Honourable explorer?
http://www.southperry.net/showthread.php?t=47311&page=1
But,I read the thread from above link.It seems to say that new potential system is to get the rarity regardless of gear level.Correct me if I am wrong.
Max lvl 50 is tier 2. Also isnt the lvl 120 ring also potable?<.<
Ah, my bad. Yes it is, since it has slots. 🙂
Max when are you going to post demon slayer storyline?
There’s been a couple holdups, don’t worry though! I’ll get it up as soon as I can D:
Max Are the AP Resets and SP Resets from Legend Shop bought with coins
Account transferable?
I’m thinking of getting lots so I can AP Reset all my characters to be 2ndary stat less
Since it seems Legend chars are the easiest to get Legend Coins.
If GMS gets same events
acount tradable once–i think…
Yep, they’re account tradeable. However, I believe you can only buy one of each on one character.
http://www.southperry.net/showthread.php?t=47311
But,I have read the thread from above link.It seems to say that we can get to any rarity tier regardless of gear level.Correct me if I am wrong
Hope You Dont mind tho..
but can you set a page on the item sets?
eternal/ immortal/ and pvp high lvl items?
i went through a few blogs alr..
but there is none which states the info on those items./.
=X
Funny you ask that, I was reading Insoya yesterday and someone made this thread! Google Translate should get you through it fine, it even has links to the stats of each item. If you need any help, don’t be afraid to ask~
Thx alot =D
will do if any other questions come ^^
im guessing this will be out on the official server 8/31?
I think this is the September update.
i still dont understand the new crash system. anyway i would love to see arans getting crash.
Basically, you crash something, the monster is effected. After the effect runs out, that monster is immune to Crash for the next 20 seconds. After that, you or a party member can crash again.
Any details about cross hunter storyline?
I haven’t actually done them yet, but I think it has to do with the United Maple things that Fiel posted.
Bye bye CHTP 😀
I hope you guys will get a refined version of Crusader Codex D:. Because whatever happens in KMS tends to rub off on GMS.
Crusader Codex and Silent Crusade is from JMS though
Why do people say that Akyrum looks like Voldemort anyway ? :))
He doesn’t look a thing like Voldemort! He looks like Saruman O_o. . . even the staff. . .
Remind me of Dumbledore…
no one mentioned about the pendant!! come on 35+ on all 2m.att/2w.att that’s just WOW and with 3 slots! WOW!
Pro i so love aran skill!!<3<3<3<3<3<3
i sohai love aran skill !!! Evan sienz la ….. =.=
No matter how many times you buff evan’s magic guard. It’s simply a magic guard which will always mean they are bad. Sorry, it’s the truth. Magic guard is a reason why mages just aren’t viable.
chaos horntail pendant is used to make the new pendant 😦
