kMSt ver. 1.2.406 – Resistance, Aran, and Evan Reorganization!
Part one of the series of reorganization patches has been released to Tespia! The Resistance, Aran, and Evan’s skills were changed. That’s not all, there’s also an Ellin Forest expansion!
Read on for skill changes and the other new things added in this patch!
All skill values are from the max level. Some skills are a bit weird, like giving 8 critical damage. I’m assuming this means percent, but they forgot it when they were adding it in. Since I’m not sure, I just left those without the % sign.

Ellin Forest has been reorganized! As you can see, it now has a world map! There is also a questline now, where Spiegelmann sends you to investigate the mysterious area and you end up helping Helena to protect the Altaire Camp!
There are a couple of new monsters, as well as two new bosses~ The one on the left is called Chow, and the one on the right is called the Fairy Queen, Epineah! She drops Epineah’s Ring, which gives 2 to all stats, 50 HP and MP, 45 defense and magic defense, 1 attack and magic attack, and 15 accuracy and avoid (level 105, untradeable).
You can get the Ellin Forest’s Guardian medal from finishing this quest line, which gives 4 to all stats, 160 HP and MP, 90 defense and magic defense, 1 attack and magic attack, 40 accuracy and avoid, 7 speed, and 1 PvP damage.
The Maple Union (which I previously called Maple Alliance, the word can be translated both ways but a romanized item confirms it is union) quests have been expanded on~ There are now quests from level 15 to 74, after which you join the Union!
Battle Mages, Wild Hunters, Mechanics, Aran, and Evan can do a special set of quests to get the above weapons. They give (in order): 105 magic attack, 93 attack, 70 attack, 97 attack, and 105 magic attack. They’re all level 75 and they have 7 slots.
Also, for those of you who lag a lot, they’ve also added in an option to change the quality of skill effects!
As for the Cash Shop, there are three new things. The first is the new Pink Bean pet which is now on sale, it’s a multipet too. Then there’s the Wing Master Orca set, which you might want to get if you’re a Black Wings fan. Finally, there’s a new type of shop!
It’s the Old Lady Stand, and it acts just like a regular hired merchant except for one difference.
There’s a new tab called Buying, and the shop owner can search up, then list any items they want to buy. You input the amount you want to buy and how much you want to buy it for, and the money is automatically taken away from your inventory. Then, shop goers can enter your shop, and sell you the item without you having to find/trade them! When you close your shop, you’ll receive the items you have bought this way.
You can see in this shop, the owner wants to buy 1 Red Potion for 99 mesos.
P.S. I got my Crow hair, along with a new outfit!
Orange Mushroom's Blog 
Okay wow Max. When I said “I hope max posts this on his blog” and I check your blog, you already have it. Mind Reader.
hey, um i know this is really old but final att has and 80% chance and AFA has a 70% chance?
Transparant Skills, lol.
Holy cow…
Does the new jaguar give more stats than the normal ones?
It’s the same speed as a regular jaguar according to Fiel.
so Jaira is still better?
I love the changes, specially to the quests.
Are you adding them to your Union guide?
Also, you forgot to add that Blaze skill of Evans attacks 8 monsters now.
I’m sad Magic shield is now a passive skill.
Nice job, Max.
I dont have a Union guide xD
Oh yes I did, thanks for that~
I was thinking about the Cross Hunter guide. I guess they are different then. Thanks.
I think my Jaira looks cooler
don/’t like the new one’s colour.
Depends, latte or black?
Not that big changes and it was expected to be like this.
dam…
toggle siege mode with no cooldown.
Yeah, thats balanced
wild hunters’ hurricane hits for more damage, more shots per second, AND they can move around while doing it. corsairs and bow masters also have a rapid fire skills. why dont you take a look at all the damage formulas before bitching about mechs and making yourself look like a jackass.
Do u kno if which of the two between sairs and mechanics are going to be better now?
Whats the likelyhood of you blogging in to more depth about the elin forest questline? I think this would be a good read and very useful for a lot of people.
Great job on the article.
Well there is this guy, who as you can see has taken screenshots of every single quest chat as well as of his progress. If he posts a storyline, it would be really easy to just translate it xD
Nice changes! 😀
But I’m wondering, Max:
Say, for my BaM, if I spent a lot of mesos to get lvl 30 Advanced Dark Aura, and now the skill is being movied to 3rd Job… Will my SP be moved to a lvl 30 Advanced Blue Aura or something, so I save some mesos?
I know they’ve transfered SP and given some free Skill Books in the past, I’m just wondering if they’re gonna do it for this, too. :O
Looking at Fiel’s extractions, Advanced Blue Aura is an entirely new skill and Advanced Dark Aura was deleted, so I think you’re just gonna get the 30 SP back into your pool.
Also looking at Fiel’s extractions, there are 100% mastery books for all the revamped classes. So I guess the Ascension/Jump event of us choosing a 100% mastery book will repeat. No wasting your meso.
Mechanic’s didn’t get Physical Training or Pirate Training?
I’m disappointed.
if they going to add it in during Thief and Pirate Revamp fine.
At least give Mechanics the skill that gives +30 Str and Dex like Cannon Shooter.
It’s called Physical Training for a reason.
>They just sit around in their mech
>They do physical training
That’s making sense. They could rename it to “Electronic Upgrade”, because the Mech guy just presses buttons.
No strength , dex adding skill for mechs
every class is getting one
wtf
Are you stupid? you crying for 30dex&str when Metal Armor: Heavy Machine Gun got no cooldown? thats mean you can boss with 100% critical change and you attack faster than NL \ BM\ Mercedec…
Great work Max. Thanks for the added info I haven’t read today as well.
Max can you explain what the Dragon Flight skill for Evan is actually?
I’m still confused on what it is. Do Evans ride on Mir and attack like WH?
There’s no like skill description so I can’t say, but I think it has something to do with gliding… (sort of like Demon Slayers? They did use the Demon Jump skill icon as a place holder)
Speaking of Demon Slayers since they have skills that sue HP does that mean we can die from using a skill? If we were to mass spam the skill so we go down to 0 HP or do we stop at 1 hp?
If you get hit while doing the skill, your HP will go down more. But If your distanced, your HP won’t drop to 0 because your going to end up using all your Demon Force instead of having 0 HP but your HP will still go down.
You will be prompted that you do not have enough HP to use the skill, it’s the same as the not enough MP message.
This means that you are unable to use the skill that requires that much of HP, it is possible to drop your HP to 1 coincidentally but you cant die from spending 16 HP when you only have 16 left (you can’t use the skill at all).
Ah, found a video about Dragon Flight, check back to the Evan section~ ^^
Why would anyone get
Crow Hair? It’s ugly IMO?
To each their own~
I personally think its really nice 🙂
Diarrhea which a chocolate mousse. I thought it was one of those crappy hair that nexon put in so you use more royal coupons? But I guess each opinion is right?
An opinion is an opinion, there’s no right or wrong. It’s not fact because it’s based on how you feel about it.
I’m pretty sure people are taught the difference between Fact and Opinion in school when you’re around 10-12 years old…
I said opinion is right. Your entire post was pointless.
Aww, I was hoping mechanics would get something like that physical training skill or a 5 increase in hp (or a fixed healbot)
wait… lemme get this straight… you can use all 3 auras at once?!
Also, this makes me wonder what they’ll do for UAs, CKs and The first 3 (warrior, mage and bowman)? Will the warriors get stance on 3rd job like how they’re giving it to BaMs at 3rd job? But then again, Arans aren’t getting stance-like effects on 3rd job…
Also, what is this “Dragon Flight”?
Dragon Flight I think is the same as Demon Slayer’s glide. Since on the extractions, Dragon Flight used Demon Slayer’s Demon Jump Icon which you are able to glide in the map.
Ah, found a video about Dragon Flight, check back to the Evan section ^^
I have been waiting for a shop exactly like that!
Woah. this is soo cool!!
i want the new jaguar!
Damn those auras are sexy, can’t wait for this on my GM BaM, so I say 6-7 months haha…
It will probably be around Summer for you guys or Fall. Since gMS has to release Legend and they just released Ascension.
Legend will be at dec max which mean this revamp can be release at spring-March
How do you know Legend will be released in December? There’s 3 Parts in Legend. Plus, everytime gMS releases a big patch, they always have server maintenances and bug fixes and patches. Us we don’t. Ascension was released in September. You expect to have Legend in 3 months? It took us around 4-5 months till we had the whole Legend Patch.
Maybe legend’s not december, but this patch is definitely not summer or fall. late spring at the very latest.
So…since BaM’s auras can overlap now, does that mean when you use body boost, you get the effects for all 3 auras?? 😀
It’ll probably be the same as when people hacked to get all 3 auras. Only the first aura would get the buff..
@Max I noticed one error in your post
Seventh Growth
Magic Amplification: MP usage and magic attacking skills’ boosts have been increased from 135% to 150%
Breath: damage has been increased from 610% to 700%
Killing Wing: damage has been increased from 450% t0 500%
Magic Resistance: now increases magic defense by 40
for evan, isnt the breath skill be fire breath or flame breath but why in your post is only called breath? If im correct, please amend you mistake in this post as it may confuse the people who read your blogs
Thankyou
That’s the kMS name, I chose to be accurate and keep them like that (mostly because if I changed one, I would have to change them all… lolWildHunterskillnames).
WOW Battle Mages are GREAT!!!
but what about Adv Dark chain???
Is the normal Dark chain is now like the Adv one (in range) ????
Well basically, Evans have a lot of Flame/Fire Type Skills. And mostly dragons have a flame breath which is a common type so yeah..I think that’s why It’s only called Breath.
you didn’t answered my question…
I heard it’s basically like ADC now but I’m not 100% sure.
He meant to answer the person b4 you xD , anyway about your question , they increased the number of mobs it can hit and thats it , they see Bam doesn’t need the advance chain , even for those pvper , 3 auras are much “cheater”
but i saw a vid and i think the reg one is same advance , but i am not sure as i don’t play Bam ;p but at least the animation of it is the same.
They moved the image and the damage boost, numbers of mobs, stun rate to regular Dark Chains
Metal Armor: Heavy Machine Gun: skill can now be toggled On or Off, cooldown has been removed
Wtf? Permanent Siege? Wooo
Metal Armor: Heavy Machine Gun: skill can now be toggled On or Off, cooldown has been removed
Does this means we can be permanently in that mode? If so then its gay
Notice the miniscule damage increase versus other classes and even your other skills, when mech is considered balanced already. Its basically going to put you on par with other classes. You’re just a bit more like sairs now. They didn’t think it was gay. They were jizzing in their pants like Max on Shakar96.
Incase you didn’t notice how mechs are now, that miniscule damage increase gets X6 and 100% crit. However I read from the extractions that siege mode uses mp now so they’ll be more like bowmasters/wildhunters. (they’ll still have to cancel every 100 shots unless pivoting counts as moving)
Also try to find a siege mode hack vid against zak to see how cheap this is.
omg 1500% laser beam!!? and auras look so cool. will it be on 22 nov like 2nd part too max?
and now mech owns demon slayers?
No. KMS is actually balancing. All classes are getting buffed. You’re going to be around where DS is, not way above. If that doesn’t happen, they’ll inevitably buff them again. Way too much again. And have to revamp all of the classes. Again.
i want bishop balancing ^^
I thought they all got some new skill and remove the useless one…but instead the buffed the old one…Mechanic did not get buffed what they deserve and new skill. Evan look more dumb than other..
Awesome buffs for everyone…
by the way max, if you ever have time, could you post a video of an aran now? cause i cant find any videos besides that one with monster park.
Personally, I think the Battle Mage has gotten a lot better! They get to hit more monsters, do more damage, and use power stance in third job! IMO, the only thing bad was that Advanced Dark Chains was removed
I saw a video of battle mage after the changes in youtube.
Now the regular Adv Dark Chain is the regular one.
videos please…
BaM are missing 10 SP from 4th job, since Stance and ADA take up 60 SP total, but ABA and Energize change use 50 SP. I’m not saying they take up 60 because energize already has 10 SP in it before the update. WHERE DOES IT GO?
Usually Battle Mages has 4 SP missing at lvl 200 to be maxed in all skills.
I guess that you put the 10 missing SP like this:
4 SP- maxing all skills
6- putting in 2nd or 3rd job skills
Wow, nice changes! Personally I like the Mechanic changes, because I’m a lvl 127 Mech in GMS. Especially the Siege Mode which is now a toggle On/Off skill :). I hope they will come soon after the Legend update of course! (And other nice updates)
Yes!!! I absolutely love the changes to Battle Mage! The movement of skills is a tad strange, but it won’t bother since my Battle Mage is past 130. The Blue Aura changes are great! I’m majorly hoping that we won’t get 1hko’d by 1/1’s since that really never made sense to begin with. I don’t care for the switching of Adv. Dark Aura and Adv. Blue Aura, but at least Adv. Blue Aura is probably going to be a cheaper Mastery Book. I’m still very much satisfied with the Aura changes. The upgrades for the Blow attacks are nice, but I never really considered damage to be a Battle Mage’s problem since it is more of a support class to me. And I am seriously loving the massive ramping for Energize! +30% Max HP/MP (formerly +20%) and +450% Weapon/Magic Defense (formerly +150%) is a trade I would make any day, even if I had to throw an extra 20 SP in. I hope Battle Mage’s only future changes are in damage infliction, their defensive capabilities are absolutely beautiful right now.
Parting words: THAT STANCE IS OP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the new jaguar and aura looks so much cooler than before, too bad mech’s robot’a appearance didn’t change
“Aura skills can now be overlapped”
Does that mean we can have multiple aura skills’ effects active? Or that the animations stack?
Everyone here seems to be assuming it’s the former, but I won’t listen to that since they’re 99% chance not KMS players (and thus why they visit here).
Clarification, max?
If you’re going to say that it means that “Multiple Auras can be active so long as there are multiple BaM’s with different ones on”, that it would be pointless to post it since it is like that already. And why would you have the animations stack without the effects? That would be a huge waste in coding effort. To me, the only logical explanation is that one BaM can have multiple Auras active.
does it means when we super body, it will effect all of the 3 auras? that would be so cool!
I doubt that. As cool as that would be, it would make Battle Mages very easily OP. It would be a lot smarter and fairer to keep it limited to one like now. How they might figure that to work I don’t know. But I guarantee Super Body is going to get changed to accommodate the new Auras.
And how does not having all three auras activated not make Battle Mages slightly more unfair? It’s a general boost to to just about all capabilities if we get to have all of them active: Enhanced attack (and area-based DoT) and attack speed, enhanced defense, enhanced movement (which we’re already good for because of Teleport).
Maybe I’m being too optimistic of Nexon’s balancing efforts, but being able to stack all three auras’ effects from one caster is already pretty stacked compared to the previous Auras where you had to take a tradeoff (speed vs damage vs defense).
A huge waste in coding effort? What, to add possibly just a few images and a few lines of code to make a smooth animation? If a GIF image can handle the effect-stacking then that’s nothing compared to programming an entire class’ skill set.
Battle Mages don’t exactly have much HP/MP, and the extra 10% isn’t going to make a ground-breaking difference. Sure, they get a nice buff from having all 3 Auras simultaneously active, but what about the fact that they’re competing with Demon Slayers, and (soon to be revamped) Warriors? They’re going to need the boost if they want to keep up. Even with all 3 Auras on right now in GMS, my Battle Mage would still pale in comparison to my Dark Knight or Hero. The new Aura system is hardly stacked.
What you’re talking about is adding the animation of having all 3 Auras, yet only having 1 Aura active. Uhm…how is that NOT a waste in coding? Why spend the time to add irrelevant animations when you can either A. Not add them at all, or B. Add Aura overlapping, savvy?
Wait, does it mean that arans have a chance for final attack for every hit from their wing combos?
Wait, does it mean that arans have a chance for final attack for every hit from their swing combos?
As much as I like my new attacking speed, my pot usage just doubled when they nerfed Dragon Fury’s range. Oh well. Mobbing an entire screen with mini-Genesis will SOMEHOW make up for that. Hee hee hee.
Fk !! YEA Evans are gonna own after this…..if im still gonna be alive when it gets here
Oh Max, I was wondering if you know if Dual Blades could apply spirit weapon effects to both daggers and kataras.
EDIT: WAIT. Wrong blog. Forgot this was a KMS blog ^^;
Have Arans and Evans gotten a link skill?
Mech’s Siege mode….. OVERPOWERED MUCH?!
Well atleast there on the same level with Mercedes and Demon Slayer now.
ALBINO JAGUARS! NICE!
This new revamp makes my mouth water to wonder what is next to happen to explorers.
Great, now WH’s will out dps BM’s once again !
Nah, not exactly. Reserve your judgement until next month’s update.
You forget things that really matter. For example. Mechs.
OMFG i want more new skills for Aran, Evan and the Resistance…..Evans need some sort of combo like based attack..and Aran needs more mobile attack skills….
Aran doesn’t need anymore mobility. You forget that Aran is a Warrior, and Warriors have no mobility. It’s a serious stretch as it is, and their only justification is because they need to move quickly to keep their Combo up (which is not even a problem anymore). Now that they can FREELY SPAM their Rush-like skill, it would be excessively stupid to give them more mobile attacks. Arans got a fair upgrade.
I agree. The only problem you ever had with combo was moving across an ENTIRE map, and even then, you shouldn’t be spamming your combo skill every 30 seconds. Just use it when your combo’s about to go out. You literally never have a problem. Now that the clock lasts longer, we’ll really have no problem.
I like our upgrade. Also, we got a free +30 att. as well as many good damage increases. We also just became gods of survivability. We can tank hits from Akryum, although it would still be huge potburn, most likely. Maybe not with the drain buff, if you’re godly funded.
don’t forget that 20% hp increase, final attack, and def increase =D. 20% MORE HP ON MY ARAN =D
Agreed. It’s kind of amazing how we can go ridiculously fast for a warrior with combat step + jump already…no need for any more mobility.
Do you have a youtube account cuz i would love to see the maple union quest and a tour of ellin forest
Enjoy~
that song in the video… so familiar… haha… couldnt recall it… =/

remove that recovery aura.. maan every1 got pots!
dunno ’bout arans
i don’t care, i just wanna be sure he’s gonna make the image for. yea i know it’s gonna be back. by the way, advenced dark chain is too cheated for other, talking about buccaneer, sure.
no cause you said both opinions are right but he said neither of them are either right nor wrong theres a difference between neither being right and both being right.
Suddenly I’m taking to myself?
They should make Battle Mages MW similar too Demon Slayer’s
did arans get boosted for 1st and 2nd job but get weakened in 3rd and 4th jobs? or did i read wrongly
u read wrongly
can someone explain to magic guard for evans to me plz
~Jon
thats 85% like magicians but 5% more and 10% damage lower means u take 90dmg insteaded of 100. hope it helps 😉
ty 🙂
I love you all 🙂 i really hope buccaneer will be revamped… 🙂
They should make a cool name for this update, instead of calling it ambiguous terms such as “The Resistance, Aran, and Evan Update” or the “Reorganize Everything Update” or the “Screw it, Let’s Mess Up Maple Again Update”. It’s really hard to search up videos for it this way, especially since I can’t read Korean.
Im pretty sure the warrior balance patch came to tespia before they announced the name of Jump…and same thing with cannon shooters and legend. hopefully they’ll do the same.
It’s only in Tespia, I’m sure they’ll think of a one word name to call it soon :p
lol i cant wait until they put some kind of random word to name this update =D
I’m just gonna ask here…
Can you give a list of Mercedes’ bowguns (by level)
Hooray for Fiel!
Thanks for the Great Info Max~~ Loved it~
max so nice post! btw when they will coem to kms?
I think on the 27th (in Korea), because patches are usually on Thursdays
is it possible to post an aran video?
rubik, look youtube with 406 patch kmst like thing it will shows some aran video. and max thanks 😀
umm it just shows that video from monster park. the guy just uses overswing the whole time…is there another video? cause that video doesnt show the other moves of aran.
Do you need dragon mounts to use the flying skill?
Is it mandatory?
Yes you do.
may i ask for the battle mages…the advanced dark chain have been removed…so the dark chain we are going to use is in the original dark chain range or advanced dark chain range?? if it is in original one…its super short
I’m pretty sure that they just moved all the properties of the Advanced skill into the regular one
lol i cant wait until they put some kind of random word to name this update =D
um is Blessing Maha actually +50% to def/mdef or just +50 def/+50 Mdef? doesnt seem that good….
This is old, in the real server Blessing Maha now gives 30 attack.
Love the Evan changes especially changing blaze back into a mobbing skill 😀
Is combo barrier just +60 def/mdef…? Because if it is, I know what not to put points in.
evan gonna owned!!
