kMSt ver. 1.2.469 – Root Abyss Chaos Boss and Monster Experience Changes
In this patch, there were some changes to the Root Abyss Chaos mode bosses, as well as changes to experience of some monsters, party quests, and Dimension Invade. They also let Mr. Goldstein in Lith Harbor level us up to 201!
Chaos Pierre
- HP has been adjusted
Chaos Von Bon
- HP has been adjusted
- Von Bon’s clone in the other map’s HP has been adjusted
Chaos Bloody Queen
- HP has been adjusted
- Fire debuff’s damage has been adjusted
- Firestorm’s damage has been adjusted
- You can now use Hero’s Will to rid yourself of seduce
Chaos Vellum
- HP has been adjusted, clear time has been adjusted accordingly
- Some attacks have been added
- Stun caused by stalactites will ignore your resistance, and its duration has been adjusted accordingly
- Poison’s damage and range have been adjusted
‘
The Root Abyss set effects have been changed. You now gain 20 of your main and sub stat as well as 1000 HP and MP for wearing 2 equips, 10% HP and MP and 20 attack/magic attack for 3 equips, and 20 attack/magic attack and 40% boss damage for 4 equips.
Certain areas’ monster experience has been adjusted. This includes party quests, Evolving System, Dimension Invade, Lab – Area C-1 and C-2, Red Nosed Pirates’ Den, and Training Hall 1 and 2. I’m not sure if they increased or decreased it…
All party quests and Dimension Invade’s daily entry count have been changed to 5 times per day. I guess if they increased the experience it would sort of make sense, however I don’t know about you but I get the most experience in party quests from clearing it, not from the monsters inside.
For Evolving System, they added in Cores for the 5 Cygnus instructors. They also reduced the time limit from 30 minutes to 20 minutes.
I didn’t realize they added it, but last patch the Knights of Cygnus tutorial was renewed. Here’s a video of it (thanks to skycombat for the video)!
They added in some quests at level 120 for Knights of Cygnus, which are pretty interesting. I’m not too sure but I think this is when Damian attacks Ereb, during a regular Alliance meeting. One of the quests is called Awakening, so I believe that video of Empress Cygnus crying would go in here… (thanks to Youku KMSFan for the video)
Oh yeah, I also found out that they changed the quests for the Noble Mind skill! Previously, you had to do the long quest line in the Temple of Time and defeat Arkairum 6 times. Now, you just have to talk to Nineheart every 5 levels from 125 to 150.
There was a new Cash item added, called the Owl of Tote. You can only search for equipment with it, but the plus side is that you can choose to specify a certain stat that you would like it to have.
For example, I can choose to search only for Fafnir Windchaser with over 2000% boss damage (one of the things you can get from Additional Options, this item does not search for potential stats).
They also added Luminous into Monster Life! There are three different kinds, aren’t they cute~? They added 3 stages of Mir as well, but they look the same as regular so that’s no fun.

cool i hope they release the other cygnus revamps sooon
I’m curious about what they’ll be doing with Dawn Warrior, since there’s already Mihile.
What will happen to Mihile? lol…
I know right? What a mistake and wasted time. I a very huge fan of all warriors, but when Mihile came out, I didn’t even bother trying him out. Still havent either. noting new or original about him and overall, just looks too damn boring.
I know right. All you do starting 3rd job is Sword Kamehameha everything to death. Hella boring. (No sarcasm intended.)
The 4th job comes… More Kamehameha lines and a different color, oh joy! =_= I honestly think Mihile was a mistake. At least that isn’t how Dawn Warriors will be ending up, most likely.
Well… pity Mihile… He when out there looking like a fool now… Hope they revamp him as well… >.<
yes third
Your Face is third.
same! i hope Wind Archer’s keep their transformation skill!
lol i just hate that brawlers lost their transformation skill
Yeah. That like DEFINED the buccaneer/TB. It’s terrible D:
But hey, look at the bright side. People complained how Bucc lost his “combo skills” so Nexon gave them TB/Striker and turned him into street fighter chaining all his skills.
pew pew
Chibi Luminous!
first
1see primero
spec stuvo aki XD
:=Lol
Wow… 2000% Boss Damage…
Lol there’s no item with 2000% boss damage, I just put it in there for fun xD
Nice
Chibi Lumi. Oh ma gaad!!
Where do you train now for 200+
the new 180+ root abyss monsters
Bummer ….
I was hoping for Experience Curve change..with them raising the cap. Kind of like they did with Big Bang. Oh well, may be next patch ? 😦 😦
I hope they increased the exp from the Party quests.
Would this make it harder to get a Ultimate Explorer?
They removed Ultimate Explorers.
2000% boss damage? The fuck?
IT WAS A JOKE
I’m laughing so hard
But if it’s able to search 2000% boss dmg, in theory it’s possible to have item with that stat but it propably requires heavy hacking and/or gliching or using some sort of exploit.
so? you can search for an item called “horntail’s phallus” but that doesn’t mean it exists~

If you already have a level 6 Noble Mind, do you have to redo the quests and level the new character or will it stay?
It will stay most likely
Ha… and so.. what was the point of increasing 1 level.. atleast they should have added the 5th job or new skills to spend those 3 sp
Wait, when you create a Noblesse now, can you choose who shows up? Like, in the video Hawkeye showed up, or is it that you can only make Strikers now since they’re the only one with a revamp so far :s
The tutorial will be the same for all Cygnus, but there will be quests from the other Cygnus instructors at the end I believe. As you can see, when he gets to the main Ereb map, only Hawkeye has a quest for him (because only Striker has been reorganized so far).
Sounds like u got a tespia acc, Max?
Someone shared their account with me, yeah 🙂
to bad for characters who are famously lvl 200 first
now they will attempt getting lvl 250 1st~
Lol never happening. Our first level 200’s are all Adventurers and with the current adventurer’s DPM, which is close to the bottom, it is not likely for them to take top with those other OP jobs out there like DB, and other jobs that are broken.
I bet the job that is going to take first place is going to be a DB or Xenon. Who else want to bet with me. Place your votes on the job that is going to take place in KMS, GMS, CMS, JMS, and other MS’s
EXP was decreased.http://www.southperry.net/showthread.php?t=63890&title=EXP nerfs in the current KMST Patch.
And I’m loving the reaction to it xD
-people complained how BB made everything stupidly easy to 180+-
-people now complain that it’s no longer stupidly easy to get to 180+-
thats what i said XD
Nice patch notes Max! @Mithi9 I thought they increased it to x1.20? or it’s the monsters?
Ohh wow thanks for link. I’ll just post this in here
“Official Knight A: 88243 -> 44122
Official Knight B: 91929 -> 45965
Roid: 917 -> 734
Neo Huroid: 954 -> 763
Kru: 1431 -> 1145
Captain: 1495 -> 1196 ”
So they increase the cap and nerf experience by nearly 50 percent. Makes sense.
they wanna make it harder. people are getting to 200 in like 2 days
Gms players praise kms for doing things like making lhc useless and nerfing the exp on high lvl training spots? I think gms needs a better community because it’s already time consuming to lvl up now. i dont want pre big bang to happen again and idk why people actually complain about people lvling up fast.
Wont matter…… it’ll only cost them 48 hours to obtain 250 still
Lol, for a second there i though that the 2000% boss damage was the reason kms does so much damage lol.
noooooo….. y did they decrease the pq limit… Its my only source of sociality in maple -.-‘ They should increase the limit not decrease
Seriously? With the current PQ system, people grind all the way until they believe it is time to change the training spot. I believe if they are going to limit our PQ to 5 a day, then they should make the PQ more challenging and more worth it. That way there would be more sociability like back then when many of us raged when a Spanish dude didn’t know how to do the PQ and we try to speak spanish trying to make him understand in Romeo& Juliet PQ. This was the only good part about Pre- BB. I never really liked pre-BB other than the way it kind of required more sociability to complete certain things in the game.
What do we do in the PQ these days? Kill all the monster and then kill some more. Then we get some free stuff for killing which most of us throw out. It is so fun~ (sarcasm)
they nerf normal mob xp(alrdy proven).
They then add pqs(easy high lvl content) that give quite good xp.
all pqs will give out more xp , thats why the currently existing ones will get a decrease in daily limit.
So they punish hardcore grinders(so far, havent seen the new training spots), and reward the teamplayers etc
Then they should have kept the pq limit at 10 instead of 5 QQ
So is it perchance that they’ll have hyper skils to have a lvl 2 since the cap is now lvl 250>?
I would so orgasm if you can remove the cooltime of your hyper skill ultimates w/ lv 2 hyper skills
I hope the new training area is an entire new continent and gives way better exp than PQs or its going to be a hell leveling up my char
Mihile should have been called Goku instead…
tbh, i like mikhail. Its fun and i dont mind the lasers. High defense and low damage makes sense. Unlike the op classes they are making now adays
No no no! call it hadouken oh yeah… now better (wink to u)
If you recall maple history, CMS and GMS already had a ripoff of Dragonball in one of its events
So Im sure they had Goku in mind when they made Mihile -_-
I dont know about other versions but JMS has lots of promotional campaigns with anime like Madomadi or Syana. Other ver. ripping off animu is not helping -_-
not that those tie-ups ever include new equips or jobs (only chairs, cash equips and new hairstyles) Coca-Cola events from who knows when was the only campaign ever to have new mobs and equips…eh im ranting now kthxby
Buccs are goku with buccaneer blast and dragon fist, they even used to transform lol
hey i really wanted the madoka magica stuff to come over because that anime was epic
Hope they lowered the exp
Nope, the exp from 201-202 is greater than the exp from 199-200 😦
And I’ve heard 249-250 requires almost same amount of exp as 1-200.
correction, its the same amount of exp required from 1-200 twice
You sure? If that is true then i know what to do with the game then =D. Quit the very moment I kill one monster at level 249, that is if i can reach that high…..
Actually, according to some calculations, people predict that the exp required for 249-250 would be at least 16 trillion. It would take approximately 42 years if you train 1-200 everyday to reach 250.
Not really since some people can get to level 200 in a few days like in 2 days
Ummm what happens to Shinsoo now? 😦
he/she was killed by Damian, but Cygnus revives it later.
um, what’s ADJUSTED mean?
chaos hp’s. higher or lower? :c
um, wait what about the gate to the future quests and wait wait wha..mr goldstein levels us to level 201?
That’s only because he’s in Tespia,the KMS Test server.
Wait, do the Cygnus Knights share a Cash Shop?
They never did O.o
nope.
OK this is just stupid now…. This is why Maplestory will never be a good game ever again. They made the EXP system far too unreasonable… They increased the HP, damage, def, etc and now they decrease the monster EXP rate… They just made it pretty much impossible for all jobs with low HP/jobs that can’t tank such as NLs to make it to level 250. I believe they need to remake the HP system for all jobs. It is obviously very unfair how NLs pretty much are the most venerable job in the game and could die easily. Now that they increased the monster’s damage which will make all non-tanky jobs heal every time they get hit. This is very pot killing and has been very unfair ever since Paladins have truly become a tank. That also goes for all the other jobs that can tank as well.
Whenever i play new jobs these days i barely payed anything for pots because they can tank so much or their Max HP is so high i level before i even need to heal. Right now a level 100 Kaiser has just the same amount of HP as my level 200 NL. At this rate my Kaiser will have like 250% more HP than my NL by the time he becomes level 200. Not only a Kaiser has 250% of my NL’s HP but he also has a higher Def making it harder to die on a Kaiser.
Pretty much all the Bowman has the Def problem as well but BM, WH, and Snipers has HP buffs which make the monster’s damage not matter much. They can at least take two hits before the next hit will kill them while a NL can only take one. Even if NLs has Shadow Shifter, 45% proc rate is still less than half. It is obviously not fair.
Nexon needs to revamp the HP system….
They need to give adventure theifs their avoidablity back… pre-bb they had the most avoid.. now they get hit everytime
hey nice peaching
you do realize pre-unlimited luk jobs have 100% avoid with high enough luk rite?
now quit being stupid before real ranged jobs with no hp OR avoid kicks your ass x(
That is very interesting. My NL has around 1.3-1.5k LUK. At SH when i was still training i was hit about 70% of the time and the monsters does around 7k per touch damage. I could only take one hit unless you want me to risk the second hit hoping that I could avoid the next hit.
BTW: When you said that all jobs that are LUK based have 100% avoid rate then you are wrong. DBs are the only job that i know who got the 100% miss rate. You probably never even played certain jobs and here you are trying to act like you know it all. I have played all the other Thief based jobs other than the new ones that are in KMS and Night Walker since it is the same as NL. If you want me to tell you the difference in terms of survivability then here it is:
Shadower: Same as NL in terms of dodge rate but has Meso Guard so pretty much like a warrior. The HP is pretty decent and much better than NL
DB: THe dodge rate is broken compared to NL. Its HP is little more than NLs as well.
Phantom: HP is just like NL and his dodge rate is just like NLs but has other/more possible buffs that can help out in survivability. HB, magic guard, and his very own buff that gives HP and resistance. He even have a skill that revives him if he dies.
I am sure you can see what i am trying to say now. All the other thief based jobs are better than NLs in many ways.
but night lord is a ranged class, they dont have to go up to the monster and suffer from the touch damage
range and no range doesnt matter when ur high lvl… most high lvl monsters have range attacks
In the new Cygnus tutorial; are the beginner skills given out at the 4:11~5:00 section when the player talks to the Chief Knights, or are they already in the beginner skillbook before hand?
I’d really hate to restart my Noblesse to get a neat 190%x3 skill.
Also, does that mean that talking to that Chief Knight during that portion locks you into that potential job with skills similar? Or will we not know until the Wind Archer revamps?
I was wondering the same thing 😀
they are so heartless. Shinso murdered, really? :C
Nexon should at least let all the chars in the same account share CS items.
in GMS, many people stop playing after LV200, can’t very boss anymore since all the boss are like design for the people w/ dmg wh0re through CS and never get rid of hackers. I came in last time and it’s like at LHC first map every channel has a hacker on.
But then they can’t take money from our wallets.
Is there a way to get all of Monster Life bosses sprites?
Oh ho ho. No you don’t seem to understand the numbers involved. 1-200 is a total of about 3billion I believe. The estimated cumulative amount for 200-250 is about 100trillion. Over one thousand times larger. Considering the amount of exp monsters give out, and the current nerf in exp for some monsters, it will take years to reach lvl250. But Nexon will most likely, not follow that exp estimation or have monsters that give enormous amounts of exp.

hmmm I been reading most of the post…
Does the Regular Cyguns knights still cap at 120 or do they now hit level 250 now?
Some feed back would be nice please…
I am really thinking of just getting my Buster to 250 and stopping the grind there
250
A-N-D there goes my motivation,
I’m leaving it at Buster and is it…..
exp nerfed? this is like pre-BB & it sucks
people complain its too hard
big bang
people complain its too easy
this
u just cant win -____-
MapleStory Hard Mode
Sigh they should have just kept this game like it was back then before bb and simply adding all these new ways to get exp. maybe even decrease it slightly so it doesn’t feel like a hassle. but hey they want money and the moronic people who are willing to spend thousands of dollars on this game will do it and since they see their money scam works they continue it… I quit the game not fun anymore at all. The social aspect of the game is dead and only way to get decent weapons or even good ones now is with either extreme luck, or you throw your money/parents money down the drain.
