KMS ver. 1.2.401 – MapleStory NEXT: Destiny Weapon & Star Force Reorganization!
The fourth and final patch of the MapleStory NEXT update has been released, featuring the new Destiny Weapon system as well as a big update to the Star Force system (mainly being able to reach 30 stars)! Everything basically came as-is from the test server, except for a bit of changes to the values of the Adversary’s Resolve drops from bosses for the Destiny Weapon missions.
Next month is MapleStory’s 22nd anniversary, the live server patch will be on April 17 and the test server patch will probably be on April 10. It’s also going to be the first patch with brand new content that wasn’t covered by the NEXT showcase.

The third patch of the MapleStory NEXT update has been released, featuring the new boss, Baldrix, Apostle of Darmoor! They actually lowered his HP a bit from test -> live, in both Normal and Hard Mode. It also contains new features such as the Cross World Boss Content system and various quality of life improvements.
The next official server patch is on March 20, for the addition of the new Destiny Weapon, so we can expect a KMST update on March 13.

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.
Read more…2024 MapleStory Winter Showcase – NEXT
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.
