KMST ver. 1.2.186 – Huge Skill Changes and UI Reorganization!
Following up on the March update that surprised everyone with the Star Force reorganization, Director Changseop has followed it up with another huge off season patch (and a Maple Now stream like usual). This time, it was a full skill balancing that changes all classes to 2 minute cycles and updating most of the game’s UIs! It also includes the Maple Home system (KMS’ version of the overseas My Home system) which I’ve been asking for for so many years and a big update to the MVP system.
This patch will be coming to the official server next week which could bring some additional changes. It starts off the MapleStory 22nd anniversary: Maple University, and I’ll cover that event in the next post.

KMS’ first anime collab (unless you count Frozen which they did back in 2014), MapleStory X Demon Slayer, has been released! The main event is being able to play as Tanjiro, a limited-time job! You can also train with Zenitsu and Inosuke, and of course, tons and tons of cosmetics. I’m gonna end up buying everything because of my FOMO…
The schedule looking forward is the showcase pre-stream on December 5 (probably not much if any news there), MapleCon from December 6-8, and the Winter update NEXT showcase on December 7! Usually they open up KMST soon after the showcase, and the first patch of the Winter update on the official server will be on December 19.

The previously announced Demon Slayer collab has been released in the test server, and it’s slightly different than the version that JMS got. There’s such little non-event content in this patch that I barely had anything to translate for this post 😛
While the actual KMST patch was a bit disappointing (albeit expected), there’s some exciting news!
First off, the showcase for the MapleStory winter update, MapleStory Next, will take place on December 7! In addition, the MapleCon will take place that same weekend, over 3 days. This is a legit convention at a hall with multiple booths, prizes, and merchandise which looks very very cool!

The second Fall update has been released to the official servers. This patch contains the level 290 area Tallahart, as well as very drastic skill balancing (with some additional changes from the test server) and various QoL improvements!
Next month, we’re going to get Asmos Canyon, which we don’t know much about. In the Milestone showcase, they said it would be a new type of system that rewards enhancement items equivalent to mesos or something like that, which is pretty vague.

Last Wednesday, the test server was updated with the new level 290 area Tallaheart and much more importantly, the first real balance patch since before New Age, which was way back in June 2023, so it’s been almost 1.5 years! (if you don’t include 6th job and the new Mastery Cores) Changseop also did a Maple Now stream talking about their plans for balance going forward.
I saw that some people were wondering why my post was later than it usually is, and it’s actually because my apartment got flooded the day after the patch 😭 Woke up excited about the Wind Breaker buffs and then a city pipe burst… Thankfully not too much was ruined but I still can’t go home until they fix it, so I’ve just been working on this in pieces in my free time on my laptop. Anyways, life goes on, they add more QoL, a new high level area people will complain is too high level, Bishop support gets nerfed… wait what?!
