Find the Monkey Doll!
A new event, tied closely with the new job Cannon Shooter, has been released today! Look past the cut for the event and its prizes!
MapleStory 2011 Summer Update!
On June 29, at 11 am, Nexon will have a conference outlining their 2011 Summer update for MapleStory! Obviously, Cannon Shooter will be a part of it, but what else will be released? The two mysterious new jobs? The thief and pirate balancing patch? The remaining heroes? Check back here tomorrow!
Edit: The conference is over! Check past the cut for all the information and things revealed!
Edit (2): As of 2:50 pm EST, I have updated this post with many more pictures and more information! Please read on~
kMS ver. 1.2.135 – Cannon Shooter Build-up & Events
Another patch without Cannon Shooter! However, we now know when they will be released! On July 7th, the Cannon Shooter job will finally be available! Look forward to it~
This patch added in all the skill changes for Cannon Shooter so far, along with the PQ limit and the Event Calendar! Note: you can do EACH party quest 10 times a day, not 10 party quests a day.
From your menu bar, you can select the Event option, or from your keyboard, press the V key.
You will see a new window that shows you every single ongoing and upcoming event, along with their prizes! You can click the calender to see which days the events run from.
Read below the cut for information on the new events, including the Cannon Shooter’s preview event~
kMSt ver. 1.2.387 – Cannon Shooter Tutorial
You can advance as a Cannon Shooter job through Kyrin. Also, a new part of Maple Island was found! The Cannon Shooter’s tutorial area, Coco Island, is only open to Cannon Shooters. You can see the entire tutorial here! My favourite part is when you’re shot out of the cannon~
A new beginner skill was added for Cannon Shooters, Pirate’s Bless, which permanently adds 15 to all stats and 5% HP & MP.
You can now only do each party quest 10 times a day… why would you do this Nexon?! How will we level up now?!
The boss of the “Dragon Rider” party quest now drops an item called a Dragon Scale, which is now the item for the party quest. You can trade them in to Matata for equipment! It costs 10 scales for each piece. Speaking of which, the durability of all items has been increased and the price to repair them has gone down.
Androids cannot be sold to an NPC anymore. This is to fix the glitch where you would sell them and repurchase them for newly randomized hair and eyes.
kMSt ver. 1.2.386 – Cannon Shooter Nerfs & Misc. Additions
You can’t type in your second password anymore! You also have to click to input your KSSN… These changes will be really annoying.
A new Event Calender UI was added~ You can see all ongoing and upcoming events, and click on them to see how many days you have participated! I guess attendance check events are here to stay!
The options window for which invites you wanted to receive has been implemented into the normal system options menu.
Items you have sold to an NPC can be bought back if you haven’t logged off since then! This is really unexpected. No more accidentally NPCing something really important anymore~
A new cash item has been added. The Moving Storage Room allows you to access your storage anywhere! And best of all, its not one time use, it lasts for 30 days~
You can now pot while riding a mount! Very useful.
The Recommended Party Quest system has been added. Every day, one party quest will be chosen as the recommended one, and it will give 20% more exp up to 3 times.
Many new maps have been added, the area is called Coco Island. I think this is where a Cannon Shooter meets its monkey.
There are many new events coming! They are called ‘Hakuna Matata’, ‘Look, the Pirate King’s Treasure!’, and Find the Monkey Doll!’. I will cover them once they come to the real server~
