MapleStory’s Winter Update: MapleStory Ark!
The Winter update’s title has been revealed: MapleStory Ark! The subtitle at the top says the prelude of chaos…
It is split into three parts: V Care on December 21, Ark on January 4, and Esfera on January 25. The first patch is probably new 5th job skills and stuff, I think Ark will be the 6th area of Arcane River, and Esfera (sphere in english) might be a new job like Cadena (chain)?
It says it will be officially revealed on December 14, which is probably the same day it will be released to the test servers, so check back soon!
KMS ver. 1.2.287 – Skill Balancing & Trade System Changes!
It’s official: the Free Market is donezo. This patch also contains various trade system improvements, skill balancing, QoL updates, and the return of Zero!
KMST ver. 1.2.059 – Trade System Changes & Skill Balancing
As predicted last week, a new test server patch has been released. The Free Market has been shut down and along with it come various Auction House and trading system changes. There’s also some job balancing and QoL updates!
Removal of the Free Market!
Not actually a KMS patch but Nexon just posted a notice on the MapleStory homepage with a very shocking announcement: the Free Market is being removed! There’s not too many details yet but I have translated the notice.
KMS ver. 1.2.286 – Fox Valley & Halloween!
A new patch has been released, containing the new theme dungeon Fox Valley, changes to professions and the chat window, as well as (very minimal) Halloween events.
