Although some thought it was an April Fool’s Day joke, the Mikhail class is real! It seems like a combination of the Soul Master, Demon Slayer, and regular warrior classes… Since this basically confirms the rest of the knights getting classes, I’m gonna hope they’re not as copy-happy… There’s a huge glitch though, after advancing to first job, the character is glitched and is stuck in a black map. I don’t think there’s any way to get past it, haha.

Spiegelmann has also opened up a new facility! Read past the cut for skill information and more~

P.S. This stuff will be coming out in the real server this Thursday!

Now, you can choose to log in with either your Maple ID or your Nexon ID! If you choose Nexon ID, you’ll be able to see all the Maple IDs that are linked to that Nexon ID.

Spiegelmann’s Strange Gallery is now open. It is for levels 50 to 120.  It is a mini theme dungeon. You can enter through the Mirror of Dimensions in any town.

Inside you’ll see four portraits (well 5, but the big one is not revealed yet). They’re the portrayals of different seasons, and clicking on one will lead you to another area.

• Spring: Edelstein
• Summer: Ariant
• Fall: Leafre
• Winter: El Nath

From what I can see, they’re just one map hunting zones. I think Spiegelmann gives you some quests and you just do them by killing the monsters there? I’ll try and elaborate on this later.

The theme dungeon Mushroom Kingdom‘s monster experience and quest experience rewards have been balanced.

Before I start talking about Mikhail, there’s a bunch of new interesting Cash items! First off is the Buff Freezer which allows you to not lose your buffs after you die. I’m not sure how this would be that useful…

The second are the Item Liberation Keys! These items allow you to wear equipment either 5 or 10 levels above your level! There’s one for weapons, one for armor, and one for accessories.

These are full AP and SP Resets, similar to the free ones from the Legend event.

The Harp Seal pet has been released! It’s sooooooo cute, I want it so bad!

They released the Dark Cygnus hats, the ones from Future Ereb! Here you can see Dark Mikhail‘s hat, they cover your entire head with both the hat and the hair of the Knight. You can also see the new wings, aren’t they pretty? There’s a dark version too, if you want those.

The new job <Mikhail> is now available! It’s advancements are available through Cygnus and Nineheart at Ereb. Mikhail’s job advancements are at level 10, 30, 70, and 120. Mikhail is a warrior type character that uses a one-handed sword and the growing shield, Soul Shield.

As you can see, he is classified as a Cygnus, but has a different button from the regular Cygnus Knights. His max level is 200.

The Soul Shield is similar to the Demon Slayer’s Force Shield. There are different versions for each advancement (I assume automatically upgraded) and they also level up.

Until level 120, Mikhail receives an extra 10% experience when levelling up. Mihile uses many 1:1 and mob attacks, and has many defense increasing skills and damage reducing skills, as well as good mobility.

Mikhail has Empress’ Blessing and Fairy’s Blessing, and when he reaches level 120 he can learn the Echo of the Hero skill. You can also create an Ultimate Adventurer. When Mikhail is level 70, you can share his skill Protection of Light with other characters on the same account, where Mikhail appears and defends the character from being knocked back.

I uploaded the tutorial! Honestly, the storyline is very random. Mikhail is chosen to be one of Cygnus’ knights, and then, after one week (notice the dates that appear in each map, with the year XXXX), he becomes one…

Now onto the skills! Oh yeah, Striker’s Fist Enrage skill’s damage was decreased from 230% to 120% and their Energy Blast skill’s damage was decreased from 500% to 260%.
