TMS ver. 259 – Child of the Forest, Lynn!

This is the first non-KMS post in a long, long, long time! I actually looked back and the last one was back in December 2012 where Root Abyss was released in CMST before KMST! Since KMS is heading into the off season and a few people have asked me to do this because they like how I format these types of posts, I decided to cover the new overseas class, Child of the Forest, Lynn!
Disclaimer: I don’t know Chinese. Actually, a very kind commenter Xiluoye sent me English translations of all of Lynn’s skills (so huge thanks to them!!), which I will be using as a base along with some help from friends (like Steve, who also made videos showing off Lynn that I’ll share below), my own data mining, and good old Google Translate. Also, this skill information is based off of TMS data, which may or may not differ from other versions. (The skill names are not written out like KMS’ Konglish so they required actual translations which made some of them kinda weird, they’ll probably be completely different when they get localized to GMS).

The first patch of the winter update, Dreamer, has been released! It contains the new 6th job Common Core Sol Janus, the new Union Artifact system that replaces Monster Life, as well as a ton of improvements like character presets and free boss practice mode buffs! And of course, the whole set of winter update events like Hyper Burning and the Midnight Party.
Next week, the new 6th job Mastery Cores will be released onto the test server!

A couple of days ago was the Lucid Dream Festa, an event held at Lotte World in Seoul to announce the winter update, titled Dreamer! It included the various events for the winter, the new Union Artifact system, new Mastery Cores and a Common Core, a new Epic Dungeon system, and various quality of life improvements. Shortly after, the test server opened with some of the content mentioned in the showcase.

The Angelic Buster remaster has hit the test server! This patch seems to be mostly visual update related, including her illustrations and skills with some QoL improvements sprinkled in. There are no sound effects or voice lines, and they even removed the tutorial story quests so I assume that’s what next week’s test patch will bring (along with corresponding events). In addition, released the second part of the teaser page, which is an interview with Angelic Buster herself!
They also snuck in a couple of cooldown changes to both the Angelic Buster link skill and the Genesis weapon iframe!

One last test world patch before 6th job is released!! This patch contains the actual 6th job advancement quests, the actual Hexa Matrix system, and lots of 6th job skill changes (plus the Enhancement Cores) as well as the level 280 area Arteria and other improvements.
I was going to include a more in-depth guide to the 6th job advancement quests and how the Hexa Matrix system works but this post was already pretty late and there will probably be some changes by the time it releases in the live server, so I’ll add it in to the next one. The next post will probably require going through every single skill so it will definitely take some time! Also my keyboard is dying and the number keys don’t work half the time so it makes it 10x harder for me…
