kMS ver. 1.2.189 – Golden Week and Cash Updates!
Well it’s been a while since the last patch in both Tespia and the real server, and we still don’t know the next Cygnus to be updated (although the patch will be on March 21!) so I decided to do a sort of filler post haha. It includes a small event that was added as well as all the new Cash items that were added this month that I thought you guys should know about, since I usually skip over them.
Also, my friend Andy (Asinine) has reached level 201! Congratulations~ I don’t think he’s going any further though, haha. Oh yeah, I misread the patch notes a while back, you DO gain 5 AP when levelling past 200, just no SP.
Speaking of level 201, take a look at this. That character is a rogue (first job thief), haha. The powers of leeching!
Oh yeah, while I was doing the Twilight of Perion quests, I came upon this cutscene. It shows the newest commander of the Black Mage, the dream manipulator! I believe this girl is the one who created the Gate to the Future. You can read more about it at Spadow’s tumblr~
The event that came out is the Golden Week Spring event, and runs for only three days, from March 1 to 3.
Every 10 minutes, you can collect 50 Pinwheels from monsters for Cassandra to receive either a Chaos Scroll or a 20 attack/magic attack buff.
Also, you can log in each day to claim free prizes! On the first day and second day, you’ll get a 1 day title that gives 3 attack/magic attack and 5 all stats. On the third day, you’ll get a 90% weapon scroll that adds 9 attack/magic attack and 3 to all stats as well as a 14 day version of the title beforehand.
On to the Cash items! This one’s not really important but I thought it was cute, a new hired merchant, this time a panda!
A new item called the Maple Royal Style coupon has been added, for 2,200 NX. Using it gives you a random Cash equipment from a set (the set changes each month). What’s interesting is that the equipment will have stats!! Above you can see the weapon cover, which gives 10 attack and 1 magic attack! I’m not sure if they all give the same stats, if its random, or if any of the other ones even give stats, but still… wow.
However, the stats of the Cash item will expire in a certain amount of time. You will then be left with just the item, no stats.
In the past couple of months, Nexon has released a crapload of those etc items that need a Cash item to be opened! As you can see, everything from after the Slime and Mushroom Omok Set to the Herb Bag are all these items, it’s crazy.
One of the most recent of these is the Magic Harp. It costs 1,900 NX and it’s just like any other of the ones above like Peanut Machine, ice cubes, or feathers, but it has something extra.
This is the Fever system! Every time you use a Magic Harp, the Fever Gauge will go up by a bit. Once it’s full, the next Magic Harp you use will give you a special item!
They even have Double Fever Times (like Double Miracle Times), where the Fever Gauge will go up by twice as much if you use one.
The special items for the Magic Harp included scrolls, flames, Timeless and Ultimate equipment, as well as the new Scarlet weapons, which I talked about in a previous post. These are level 145 Lucky items, meaning they can take the place of another weapon in any set.
Just a few days ago, they released the New Magic Harp, which also costs 1,900 NX. It also uses the Fever system, and you get a Warrior’s Heart Piece when you use one (this will be important later). You can trade in 20 for a Normal Warrior’s Heart or 50 for an Advanced Warrior’s Heart.
The New Magic Harp’s Fever items include:
- Advanced/Normal Maple Warrior’s Hearts (one for each job)
- Magical Weapon Scrolls (100% success rate!)
- Scarlet weapons
- Helisium/Nova equipment
- Emperor’s weapons
- Fairy/Blizzard sets (wearing two equipment of the same set will give you boss damage!)
- Various scrolls
- Flames of Reincarnation (levels 130 and 140)
Again, you see those Warrior’s Hearts! What are they for?
They’re for the new Maple Heart Pendants! When you log in, you’ll receive a Heart Pendant. Collect a Heart Pendant’s Chain from monsters and combine them to form the Incomplete Heart Pendant. You can then use the various Hearts found from the New Magic Harp’s Fever prizes to upgrade it!
- Incomplete Heart Pendant: 5 attack and magic attack, expires
- Evolving Heart Pendant: 10 attack and magic attack, permanent
- Whole Heart Pedant: 15 attack and magic attack, permanent
- Awakened Heart Pendant: 25 attack and magic attack, permanent
- Transcended Heart Pendant: 30 attack and magic attack, permanent, Superior item
Yeah, that’s a third tier necklace that gives 30 attack (magic attack if you use the magician Hearts to upgrade it), has 3 slots (I think the other pendants have slots too) as well as being a Superior item (which means it will gain massive stats from enhancements). That’s crazy…
All available to you for the low price of hundreds of New Magic Harps~
-Now reading.
the events are meh….
90% scroll for +9 atk. What the hell nexon? Break the game more why don’t you?
fourth?
the events are meh…
Hope they do something about Soul Master~ >.<
fuck you pitk you fat piece of shit
Lol you just created an username to do that?
*a username , shhhhs some people
Wow that 90% scroll is epic 😀 Lol Wonder if you can mix it with a lucky scroll. Gms had an event with pendants looking like those but not nearly close as good.
Lawls I really like the new Scarlet weapons 🙂 Does the new commander have a name yet?
oh my…. it might be the white lady xD
😀 XD tht name^
Nope, we only know her as ‘the one who can control dreams’.
eeehhh. I want an explorers revamp. Originals should be the strongest….
Hmm.. Just events, lol I wanna know about the next update.
Ah, the Black Mage is running out of commanders I guess. How many more substitute commanders is he going to get?
iirc, Demon, Guwaru (after being resurrected), and Orchid defected. Not sure if Lotus is still serving as a commander considering he’s just a puppet of Gelimer or whatever, and Magnus left to work for Darmoor. So would the Black Mage be getting like, four more commanders (Damien and this new girl included)?
*drools* 9 attk scroll and 30 attk pendant…
omg
wow, all that atk boosting stuff.
Are those Heart Pendants tradable?
They’re tradeable until you equip them.
I think u should add in those event on your post next time because to me, it’s quite interesting haha
hamsters are cute
Nice post and that “One who can control dreams” story in the link was very helpful and….Deep….
Also I have a feeling Night Walker will be next
So Max, you said the next patch is going to be on the 21st, is that for Tespia or the official server?
And did you hear about Southperry? He is shutting it down =(
Official server 🙂
Fiel isn’t shutting down Southperry haha, he’s just stepping down as extractor. He even gave Locked all his stuff so now he can extract~
The Dream Manipulator? I thought the story line said Arkarium make the gate to the future to freak out Cygnus?
Max, in that picture of your friend, did he get +5 ap after reaching lvl 201?
Oh yeah I forgot to mention, you DO gain AP after levelling past 200, just no SP!
o, is it still 999? or did they increase the stats cap?
Are the items from the Maple Royal Style coupons permanent or do they expire after 3months?
Do the items from the Maple Royal Style coupons expire after 3months or are they permanent?
The equips are permanent, the stats are not.
Dat lvl 201 HP Rogue 😀
*first image for non-koreans
where did your firend leech at? maplesea sux cannot leech to level
He didn’t leech! He trained for many hours for many days to level up.
You tell em Max.
You’re in trouble mister.
dayum. Anyone played Kanna? How’s the job?
I think its very anoying cuz it has only 100mp but it restores in time not like demon slayer
its pretty fun and an awesome bosser, which they were made to be but sometimes the mp does go really low
I would actually love if the where more CS updates, to keep track on what I would like to buy in the future.
dream manipulator is dark hair in her dream, but in real life she is white hair…
I’m glad we will actually get something for leveling passed 200. For weeks, the entire GMS community that doesn’t play KMS has been talking about how 201-250 is pointless until this. Nice one, Max xD.
Another thing: I really hate all this events with the etc item needing a cash shop item to open them for good stuff. It really gives people who want to/can buy NX a clear advantage. I know nexon is money hungry (especially GMS), but it’s still really annoying.
especially GMS? no! is especially MSEA!
see http://maple.asiasoftsea.com/index — MSEA website, how many context about cash i cant count….
a$$iasoft…
Agree..
Asiasoft money hungry + bad reputation
Sigh the Pendant looks awesome but sadly its cash related
*crrrr* *crrrr*
Can you hear it ? That cracking sound ??
Yeah, the game is breaking apart..
wait a minute…with those scrolls dbs will be #1 in damage (+171-180 watk from those alone)
What Hair is Asinine using?
wait, did they increase the stat cap? otherwise that extra ap won’t help much.
They haven
It is very helpful to Xenon who never reaches 999 in a stat. As if he needs help…
DA too if I understand their ap allocation correctly
Question, didnt the explorer weaken the black mage, then the heroes were able to beat him down?? Thus explorer should be STRONGEST@!
no
Wat
According to the plot classes similar to the explorers we now have were used as soldiers against the black mage’s army. Demon slayer/avenger is the one who weakened the black mage for the heroes.
Explorers were formed right after the Black Mage was sealed.
the storyline has been messed up so many times, its better to not try to make sense of things and just take things at face value
Max,about this sentence “90% weapon scroll that adds 9 attack/magic attack and 3 to all stats as well as a 14 day version of the title beforehand”,what does “14 day version of the title beforehand” actually mean?will this scroll expire?or another meaning?
A 14 day version of the “1 day title that gives 3 attack/magic attack and 5 all stats” ._,
Sorry,i’m so dumb:D
-Hugging myself-
Hi, Max!
How hard is it to get the hearts needed to upgrade the necklace?
Are they very rare and expensive or moderately so in price and distribution?
90% attack +9 scrolls and cash for stats….
maplestory is starting to turn into one of those games in Kaiji -_-
Max, for that log-in event thing to get the 9 attack/m.attack 3 all stats scroll is there a level requirement? Also is it class specific? So if you’re doing it on a luminous will the luminous be able to pick from m.attack or attack?
I’m wondering about this too.
me too.
You have to be level 13 I believe… and I think it goes by what weapon you’re wearing at the time? It’s either that or the job… I’m not sure, I always get a 2-handed attack scroll on my Bowmaster but I’m always wearing a bow.
i thank you kind sir
one last question, and i hope you dont mind. but is it one character per account? or does this log in and grab event go for all characters on the account?
Max, that 90% scroll gives both magic and weapon attack or we get the Magic if we claim on a Magician, and Attack if we claim in a non-magician class?
Also, we have to be level 30 to open the box to claim that or is it a simple quest (not box like hot times)
Thanks 🙂
