KMST ver. 1.2.037 – Chew Chew Island!
A new test server patch has been released! This one contains the second area of Arcane River, Chew Chew Island, as well as the V Core Maker Mode and a few other changes. This will all be coming to the official servers on July 28!
I would like to record a tour but I haven’t finished the Road of Vanishing quest line on KMST so maybe I’ll do that later on.

Fixed, thanks
I have just noticed that they are two Absolabs items dedicated for Zero’s weapon. Does it mean that now you need an Absolabs Essence to upgrade your Lapis/Lazuli and an Absolabs Lucky Item Scroll to include your Lapis/Lazuli into the Absolabs Set?
Max, can you translate the bonus stats given when upgrading them to Lapis/Lazuli 8? I can only read the first three lines haha (Boss Damage+30%, MaxHP+6%, STR+6%).
Yep you’ll need both items.
The top three lines are just the potential I currently had on my swords lol. When you go from 7 -> 8, you just gain +34 attack.
ha ha I get why its called Lyon because he’s a lion
Does the max level increase for 5th job skills change anything? Do the skills have their lv 25/50 values when all 5th job skills were max level 50 in the last KMSt, or are the lv 20/40 values simply achieved at a higher level now?
The level 25 values are stronger than the max level 20 values that are currently in the official servers.
man how much time does it take to reach level 210 😦 i’m 204 right now so that means i cant enter chew chew island 😦 i want it
I feel these are going to be good some training grounds, considering monsters in the Chew Chew Island gives upward of over 300,000 exp per mob. However they have like 120mil HP +
Considering that you can get a TON of your main stat through Arcane force(you can get two orbs now)regardless of mathematics, I’m pretty sure that a person with originally 200k range could deal with them without too much of a hassle- you won’t instantly kill them though. I like that. Leaves room for mobbing combinations, (rush skills, link attacks, debuffs, etc.) rather than just spamming a single attack.
Though they still hide the Lvl 200 set, which seriously concerns me. I hope that it’s not another set you have to earn by bossing(Lucid is another piece of content) because it really bugs me that you have to beat the boss that gives you the best equipment to beat them. It’s one thing to say- it’s a challenge, with more rewards. But you shouldn’t NEED them to take out the boss on solo- it should be more skill(you playing skill) orientated.
How to get access to daily tasks on arcane river? I have quest on maps with 50 force required and I have only 30.
You need to complete the entire quest line with only 30 AF to unlock the daily quests. Even then, those quests will still require you to fight monsters with higher AF requirements so it’s a bit of a grind.
This new place looks fun,
Thanks for the updates, I’ll check back for videos and stuff.
Keep up the good work.
They made a Ram/Banana hybrid and they didn’t call it Bananarama… Missed a golden opportunity.
Hey Max, does AF stuff work like star force stuff? Are the mobs similarly ridiculously difficult to kill without the appropriate AF?
I’m pretty sure it’s the exact same system, but at level 200+ I think even with less than the required AF, it shouldn’t take you TOO long to kill a mob.
On previous posts, it was mentioned about character cards stats being changed, removed, etc. Was there such change besides DEX card obtained from bowman?
How to get Absolabs Coins ?
