KMS ver. 1.2.398 – MapleStory NEXT: 3rd & 4th Mastery Cores!

December 19, 2024 35 comments

The first patch of the MapleStory winter update, NEXT, has been released! The main attraction is the completion of Mastery Cores with the 3rd and 4th Cores being added at the same time, but there’s also a ton of game changes and improvements like cross world Auction House/Meso Market, Genesis Weapon Liberation changes, and the Skill Sequence system which lets you buff up with a single key!

The main event for the next two months is the Dawn Star Banquet, a New Year’s banquet held at Darmoor’s royal villa in Arboris where many of the Apostles have gathered. Together with Primacy, you infiltrate the banquet to find more information on your enemies.

The next official server patch will be on January 16, so expect a test world update on January 9, where we will learn more about the new Union Champion system.

A few hours after the showcase, KMST was updated with the 3rd and 4th Mastery Cores. Of course, it took a while to translate like 5+ skills for all 46 jobs… if you see any mistakes let me know because I’m sure there’s a lot lol.

There will be another patch on Thursday with changes to these Mastery Cores as well as the other content/events that will be added to the official server next week.

2024 MapleStory Winter Showcase – NEXT

December 7, 2024 31 comments

The 2024 MapleStory winter showcase, NEXT, took place yesterday at KINTEX in Ilsan, Korea, where they announced the next three months of content. And of course, right after it ended, KMST was opened with some of that.

I’m going to cover just the showcase in this post, with the main bullet points and some of the details that Changseop mentioned. Currently working on the KMST patch notes, will probably take a longer than normal amount of time considering the number of skills added all at once. The next KMST patch will be in less than a week, and then it all gets released in the official servers the week after so it’s going to be post after post after post!

Also, although I wasn’t lucky enough to be able to go to the Maple Con/NEXT showcase, Steve was and he sent me a million pictures he took there. Would people be interested in a post about the IRL events/minigames/prizes/etc. they had there? It would probably not be for a couple of weeks at least though considering all the other stuff coming out soon.
