This will be coming to the official servers on April 21!

System Related
The skill effect transparency control option has been added. In the System Options, you can now adjust the transparency of your own and other characters’ skill effects.
Here’s how it looks in-game! You can adjust your own skill effects from ‘visible’ to ‘translucent’ and other characters’ skill effects from ‘visible’ to ‘transparent’.
It seems like it only affects the base effects. Any additional effects, hit effects, summons, and installed skills will not be affected.
After using Scroll Traces to upgrade your item, your selected scroll will no longer be reset.
New features have been added to Star Force enhancements.
- You can now turn off the Star Catcher minigame to make enhancing faster. However, you will not receive the success rate increasing effect.
- From the 12th ~ 16th star, you can now consume additional mesos in order to prevent the destruction of an item when enhancing. (seems to be double the cost)
You can now see the remaining cooldowns of skills (in minutes) on your quickslots.
Monsters will no longer drop Bow/Crossbow Arrows.
You can now enable the ability to right click items to sell them in NPC shops.
An alert will now appear when an item in the Repurchase tab of NPC shops is about to be overwritten.
When exiting the game while in Windowed Mode, a popup has been added asking for confirmation to exit the game.
The Soul Weapon Window can now be turned on/off using a new keyboard shortcut.
You can now discard items while in combat.
You can now take out pets while hanging on a rope or ladder.
When reviving using the Wheel of Destiny or while in a PC Room, you will now be revived with full HP and MP.
Flames of Reincarnation can no longer be used on equipment that has been locked.
Avatar megaphones will no longer appear in the top right corner of your screen while in certain hunting areas and boss battles. However, they will still appear in your chatting window as normal.
The time it takes to open the Quest Information window has been decreased.
The Clothing Box in Henesys has been changed to use a drag and drop system in order to minimize accidental item discarding.
When using Miracle Circulators, you can now choose between keeping the Before or After abilities.
When using Additional Cubes, you can now press the ‘Use one more time’ button.
Items that need a key type item (like the Pandora’s Box or Epi’s Box) can now be opened by just double clicking them.

The rare reward related logic from Elite Bosses has been changed.
- The character which summons the Elite Boss will now receive 1 additional rare reward.
- The character which deals the most damage to the Elite Boss will now receive 1 additional rare reward.
- You can now obtain up to 1 additional rare reward but you will receive a drop rate penalty if you are not within a certain level range of the Elite Boss.
In boss content, when a boss dies and a character who dealt the most damage does not exist, other party members will still receive rewards.
In The SEED, if you leave the 50th floor in any way other than clearing it, you will now receive Hazy Stones based on your remaining time.
In Mu Lung Dojo, the higher platform on each floor has been removed due to certain movement skills causing you to get stuck.
You can no longer right click the Rune experience buff to remove it.
You can now hold multiple Horntail Pendants/Chaos Horntail Pendants.
Boss Entry Reset Tickets will now be reset at midnight on Thursdays like boss entry limits.
Damien’s Soul and his Soul Skill have been added.
Begin Hunting (regular): Summon Damien for 120 seconds, dealing 1500% damage on up to 8 monsters (level 2 – 1800% damage on up to 9 monsters). Cooldown of 180 seconds.
Sword of Destruction (magnificent): Summon Enraged Damien for 120 seconds, dealing 1800% damage on up to 10 monsters (level 2 – 2200% damage on up to 12 monsters). Cooldown of 180 seconds.

Produce Pink Bean
The Pink Bean job has returned! It has the same skills as before plus 3 new ones (Pink Bean’s Warrior, Pinktic Shadow, Power Collect!).
The job is still time-limited and will be deleted, but you can complete Pink Bean’s Secret Diary in order to receive prizes for other characters on your account. It’s pretty much the exact same as last time.

Skill Related

Orange Mushroom's Blog 
Good to hear about the optimization. Can’t wait for the 13th anniversary events lol.
neato.
“You can now discard items while in combat.” Can you change gears when in combat
Nope.
“Evan’s Magic Debris has been changed to be a physical property attack”
What does this mean?
Instead of it being a ‘magical’ attack it’s a ‘physical’ attack, so like it could hit through Super Magic Defense.
Ah okay, thanks.
If monsters no longer drop arrows, does this mean arrows work like stars do for thieves, that bowmen no longer consume arrows, or that only bowmen will see the arrow drops?
They still consume arrows if you don’t use Soul Arrow. You can still buy them in NPC shops.
Ah, thanks.
“The time it takes to open the Quest Information window has been decreased.”
This is the biggest update since Big Bang.
absolutely none of kinesis’ skills are effect by translucency/transparency. Which is a shame cause i’d like to not have giant king piece covering half my screen. Oh well, as always thanks for the update max! At least the past equipment boxes seem to be fairly cheap. I might be able to complete the collection this time, instead of the last 2 times.
three times. So much for “going beyond the existing framework for the 13th anniversary” huh?
Is pink bean available in reboot? was hoping to be able to get the damage skin in reboot 😦
It seems like it is, although you won’t get the Pink Bean Experience Potion (instead you get 130m mesos).
Hmm I knew the Pinkbean thing would happen again,
That Maple set looks so cute!…I mostly like the crown and wand.
Hah Black bean promotional art.
Some of those features will be so amazing later for other Maples.
I noticed old info showed that Soul seeker expert will now create translucent soul seekers…I am guessing they reduce lag so much that is why its going to be able to be use for others.
I can’t wait to see more updates.
Decent
Neat, id say that one very last thing they could do is optimize character switching by creating a button that allows you to return to your character select screen on the fly rather than inputting your login info again + channel select. But thats just my opinion everything else seems cool.
They added that feature a long time ago.
If you click the “Game Quit” button, it takes you to character select instead of login screen.
That’s already been in KMS for a while now 🙂
Is that a KMS only thing? Im from GMS and when I quit using the button it returns me to the login screen.
Use the Nexon launcher thing, the game launcher will kick you back to login screen.
So what’s going on with that last update with the x% and x cooldown time? I wanted to know the numbers for Demon slayer, but nothing?
Haven’t been able to find numbers but I’ll try again later today.
Added them! 🙂
I assume the star force enhance changes do not apply to any part of the enhancing process in superior-grade items? 😦
Don’t think so but they didn’t mention it specifically.
I would really really love to see a menu on the character select screen where you edit all of your link skills at once without having to log into each character individually
I would love to see that as well, having to transfer 12 link skills is not fun…
Max is there any news on reducing the freezes on the game for window 10?
Not that I know of.
From the 12th ~ 16th star, you can now consume additional mesos in order to prevent the destruction of an item when enhancing. (seems to be double the cost).
Max, can you please check if this includes Superior items (Tyrants)?
Are u kidding me…evan magic debris changed to physical properties attack..WTF..neerfed
Hi Max, what do you mean by “your selected scroll will no longer be reset.”. Does it have any restriction previously?
It means when you use the spell/scroll trace system and select a scroll, you have to re-choose it every time. Now it remembers the choice to reduce clicking. I can throw away 50,000 spell traces in a few seconds on innocence 30%!
damn nexon
Yeah so basically whenever you use a scroll it resets your choice and you have to choose it again but now it won’t do that anymore 🙂
I hope they continue these quality of life changes. They changed quite a bit of things I never thought they’d fix. Thank god they’re optimizing the game. Also since when were game settings and system settings merged into one window, that always confused me.
i wish they work on the link skill which is way over do of a upgrade i get sick of log in and off just to put link skill on a new character if they can make that changed i thick it be a good quality of life changes of a lot of us
