kMS ver. 1.2.195 – Prelude to RED!
A bit of a lull but some interesting dates have been released! First of all, on June 26, the conference that will release more information about the RED update will occur! I’m excited to see if anything we haven’t already seen will be shown (5th job…?).
The second date is not exactly concrete, but based on the events that were added, the first RED update will take place on July 4! This will probably be the ‘Revolution’ part, including the Adventurer reorganization.
There were some interesting changes in the real server this patch that I added into my last post a little late. You might not have seen it so I will copy them over here.
The first thing has to do with buffs on your screen and how they appear! They will now be sorted in this order:
Etc | Beginner | 1st job | 2nd job | 3rd job | 4th job | Hyper | Pet skills | Link Skills
Of course, that means when you rebuff they’ll go into the slots they are supposed to go and will no longer appear on the right side of the screen.

Next up, it’s sort of hard to explain but you know when monsters respawn, they do it every like 12 seconds right? Like no matter how many you kill, you have to wait a certain period of time until the game checks and spawns them. Well in this patch they reduced that time to about 6-7 seconds, so monsters will be respawning quicker for those who kill fast!
You can see a demonstration in the video above.
And also, when you fly to the Temple of Time, your pets will automatically be brought back out when you arrive! I don’t know about you guys but I always got so annoyed by this… great change~ I think it also applies when you use an airplane but I haven’t checked it out yet.
The first event started a little while back actually, it’s the 2013 Summer Rainbow event and it will run until June 30.
Basically, each day something special will happen! But first of all, each day you will receive a Rainbow Magic buff which gives 20 attack and magic attack, 40 speed, and maximum jump for 1 hour.
On Mondays, you’ll get a Pendant of the Spirit which gives you more experience if you stay logged on (10% up to 1 hour, 20% up to 2 hours, and 30% for more than 2 hours).
On Tuesdays, boss and master monsters will give 15% extra experience!
On Wednesdays, the entry limit for certain content will be increased! Evolving System’s limit will be increased from 5 to 10, Dimension Invade’s from 10 to 20, and Monster Park Extreme from 5 to 10.
On Thursdays, party quests will give 50% extra experience when cleared! Monster Park’s bonus stage change will also be increased by 50%.
On Fridays, you’ll get 3 Hyper Rainbow Magic buffs which give 40 attack and magic attack, 40 speed, and maximum jump for 30 minutes.
Finally on the weekend, you’ll get 2 Rainbow Alley Tickets which when used will lead you to a map with alley cats. They’ll give experience and mesos based on your level and you can hunt in the map for 30 minutes.
In addition, over the course of the event, monsters around your level will be dropping Rainbow Boxes which can be opened for prizes!
- 50% Golden Hammer
- Special Potential Scroll
- Advanced Equipment Enhancement Scroll
- Special Additional Potential Stamp
- Rainbow Earrings (come with potential and additional options)
- Rainbow Earring-only scrolls (70% for 1 stat with 70% chance of breaking if failed, 30% for 2 all stats and 1 attack/magic attack with 100% chance of breaking if failed)
- Potion items
Next is the Clam Shell Attendance Check event! It runs from June 24 to July 3.
Each day, in order to be checked off, you must collect 30 Rainbow Clam Shells from monsters around your level. Of course there are prizes based on how many days you participate!
- 1 day: Accessory Scroll (either a 60% scroll that gives 2 all stats or a 60% scroll that gives 50 HP if you are a Demon Avenger)
- 3 days: 60% Chaos Scroll
- 5 days: Lucky Day Scroll
- 7 days: Advanced Additional Potential Stamp
- 9 days: Advanced Equipment Enhancement Scroll
- 10 days: Character Slot Expansion Coupon
Finally the event that hints towards the RED update patch date, the 2013 Summer D-DAY event! It runs from June 24 to July 3.
Each day you’ll have to collect special items from monsters around your level. These items have to do with adventurers, so it helps even more with my hypothesis! There’s things like the Warrior’s Blade Fragments, Archer’s Golden Arrows, and Magician’s Magic Orbs.
For each day you participate, your Maple Leaf’s Blessing buff will level up! The buff gives attack and magic attack and can be used repeatedly until July 17.
The left column is the buff that Adventurers will receive and the right is all other jobs, as you can see Adventurers will receive more attack and magic attack~

first ?
Cheated to second
Cheated to third
then I wil be the fourth
did your mom for fifth
And a Fucker gets 6th
89th
huh?
Having revolution on July 4th probably alludes to the American Revolution.
Hence, D-Day
But D-Day was WWII. o_o
D-Day was June 6th.
First! cool update
Nice
Was kinda hoping for some minor thief changes in this one…
This is not a Tespia patch xD
zdfsadgads
Yeah I also thought they would change the shadower skills more because only using boomerang and monster carnival gets boring. I had an I dea that boomerang goes to third and nexon makes a better mobbing skill and make assassinate hit more enemies and attacks faster. I also had an Idea that shadower can get a cloning move that makes 7 clones and each uses one attack from any job and you can use any attack also. Just a thought.
So no skill changes for thieves and pirates?
Kinda disappointed…either Nexon isn’t listening, or the KMS players aren’t complaining loud enough about the half assery.
you know what i think kms will put all the skills we miss in 5th job.
KMST patches don’t happen whenver, it’s usually Wednesday in Korea. Yes, Nexon will be listening. No, they will not be making amends immediately.
Not a Tespia patch 😛
How ’bout continue the Cygnus Return patch? I was looking forward to Night Walker.
.______________.
Yeah I was also looking for to that Blaze Wizard update, taking in mind that the other 3 Cygnus have been quite good I really want to see Night Walkers and Blaze Wizards
Hey Max is it possible to get a Skill.wz file for 1.2.78-95? Im trying to cover some skill effects and these new ones look so cool.
MWHAHAHA BLACK MAGE IS BACK!!
I wonder what could it be. Do you think its the 5th job? or something else.? i mean the 5th was the last thing shown in the presentation so..
oh wait i just read that it will lead to the start of the RED event but does that mean anything more than the updated adventurers or a reveal of something else
first
sweet i hope they’ll reveal some more info about 5th job 😀
When are they gonna show the rest of the Cygnus revamps? They still haven’t shown night walker and blaze wizard revamps.
Well basically… you see ( In my opinion)
If night walker and blaze wizard gain revamps,
Night Walker
~ Since its *night* walker, it probably have something to do to\\with *shadow* and maybe darkness, well, jobs with dark skills are all over the place, and *maybe* i mean *maybe* replacing throwing stars in a sudden will change lots of things, and waste lots of money on those who focused on em’ .
Blaze Wizard
~ You think anyone will play still Archmage (Fire/Poison) if they really do release it? o.0
Well as you can see, Wind Runner- Wind
Thunder Breaker – Thunder
Dawn Warrior- Between sun and moon? Not sure if we could explain it
But they do have their own special attribute, Wind, Thunder, and.. Dawn(?)*sorta equilibrium* that makes sense
Typing error, my bad.
Have something to do with *shadow*
You think anyone will still play Archmage
Fire/Poison mages are exactly what their name implies. Therefore Blaze wizard will never replace them. Especially since in later levels the FP skill tree focuses on mostly poisons. Your Night Walker theory in my opinion has more validity to it. How can you make them different from Night Lords and at the same time not make them any better or worse?
Thunder Breakers/Strikers were originally Bucc clones and Wind Archers were originally Bowmaster clones. After their remakes they are WAY better than either of the classes they “cloned”
Can kms account be created through Leafre now? o.o
i thought they will make hero less boring after this update. never have i been so wrong.
probably gonna quit.
Interesting.Although I don’t play KMS,I’m grateful because alot of players quit due to the disappointments of the Red Update.I don’t blame them,only warriors and Mage got the big updates,everything else isn’t that good anymore.I was planing to remake my Shadower in GMS Scania,but after seeing this,I’d rather stick with my Dual Blade.
Good stuff
Interesting
WHERE IS NIGHTWALKER REVAMPP T.T
Thank you!
That pet thing flying to the ToT is some REAL good news…I hated that they took that away and your android still appears/go away the right way but not pets
there isnt supposed to be a buff duration for combo attack wtf
Still waiting on the constantly delayed Night Walker revamp.
Maybe the new characters will make up for it.
is cannon shooter also gona recive a change?
“D-10”, as in 10 days before D-Day, which happens to be on July 4th, the American Independence Day. Probably has something to do with Inkwell’s Secret Diary entry from past winter:
“December 6, 1865: America passed the 13th Amendment, abolishing slavery.
December 6, 1921: Ireland declared a free country.
December 6, 2011: The Joseon Dynasty’s Uigwe returned.
December 6, 2012: MapleStory’s hot winter break’s historical first update.”
Would not be surprised at all if the D update happens on August 15th -_- coming from the only version in the world that still doesn’t have Japan-exclusive Hayato/Kanna
I can see the Blaze Wizard using earth magic, to buff some of those rocky fire spells. Although the BW is more focused on magically generated fire, meteors and volcanic spells are good, too.
