Not everything was included in KMST but otherwise, I’ll go more into detail about everything while translating the patch notes.

Tenebris Expedition

To defeat the Black Mage, the journey of destiny begins.

• Characters level 61 or higher can move to the Maple Alliance’s outpost by accepting the quest “[Black Mage] Impending Time of Destiny”. You can then become a member of the Maple Alliance by completing the “[Black Mage] Resolve with Cygnus” quest.
  • NOTE: This quest line states that it takes place after the level 235 story at Esfera, but you can participate without completing that quest line.
• Every time you complete an Alliance Mission, you will gather more Desire to save the world.
• After the update, the defense mission <Scattered Desire> and the change in Maple World <Alliance’s Support> will be added. Later updates will add much more content.
• Characters who complete the “[Black Mage] Resolve with Cygnus” quest will automatically complete the “[Black Mage] Gathering at the Outpost” quest. Other characters level 61 or higher in the same world will be able to complete the quest as well.

I’ll try and summarize what the beginning quests are. Basically, it’s what was shown in Gathering of Heroes video above. The Maple Alliance is preparing for their final fight against the Black Mage. A new outpost atop Ereb is their new base.

Here, you’ll join the Alliance (I guess a second time) and be given an Alliance Rank! As you complete more missions, your rank will increase. Currently I don’t know how you can actually check it or how to increase it specifically lol. It also shows a small insignia beside your character name.

In the future, there will be an Alliance Supply, which will give you special items as your rank increases. There will also be Alliance Skills which give you special stats and bonuses.

In addition, the Desire gauge will appear in the bottom right part of your screen. This is the main goal of the Alliance, to gather Desire and power up the holy light in the outpost to be able to fight the Black Mage. You can collect up to 10,000 Desire per day.

Currently, there is only a couple of ways to collect Desire.

The defense mission <Scattered Desire> has been added.

• Helena will give you the Embers of Desire, which you can use to install in a map with monsters around your level range.
• After the Embers are installed, for 10 minutes, you will receive goals to collect certain numbers of Desire Fragments of Courage, Desire Fragments of Peace, and Desire Fragments of Hope.
• Within the time limit, you can return to the Embers and transfer your Desire Fragments to activate a powerful explosion to attack enemies and gain Desire.
• The Desire transfer can be done up to 10 times, and the amount of Desire acquired will be different each time.
• The installed Embers of Desire will automatically disappear if you leave the map or log off, but you can reinstall it if you have remaining Desire for the day.
• There is a cooldown of 5 minutes after installing it.
• If you have lost your Embers of Desire, you can re-receive it through the quest “[Alliance Mission] Embers of Desire”.

The change of Maple World <Alliance’s Support> has been added.

• When an Elite Monster is defeated, the character who dealt the most damage will receive Alliance Support for 30 seconds.
• You will receive one of: troop support, bombardment support, and airship support, to help you in combat.
• After defeating an Elite Monster, you will receive 100 Desire. However, if you have reached your daily limit, you will no longer receive Desire.
