KMST ver. 1.2.188 – New Job, Len & Assemble Improvements!

June 9, 2025 29 comments

Shortly after the showcase, the test server was updated with the new job, Len, as well as a large amount of QoL improvements. There will be another test server patch in a couple of days, probably with Len skill changes and the summer events.

Note for Len skills: like all other Anima classes, it is heavily based on Korean mythology and history, and all of the skill names use Hanja which is more difficult to translate and heavily subject to interpretation (thank you Neo for the assistance). I think most of them should be okay but some are definitely a bit long/weird-sounding and that’s because either I wasn’t 100% sure what the Hanja represented or it was too hard to concisely summarize what it meant. If you’re a native Korean with mastery over Hanja and have any suggestions/improvements, please let me know 🙂

MapleStory Summer 2025 Showcase – Assemble!

June 7, 2025 44 comments

The MapleStory Summer 2025 showcase Assemble took place yesterday, detailing what content will be added in the coming months. The first patch will include a new Anima warrior job, Len, the second patch will release new 6th job skills for all classes, and the third patch will add a new boss. And of course it all comes with a bunch of QoL improvements and features, and various events such as enhanced Hyper Burning and Challengers World.

Following the showcase, the test server was updated with the new job. Since it’s an Anima class, all of its skills are written in Hanja which makes translations more difficult and time-consuming, so we’ll see when I can finish the post by.

KMS ver. 1.2.401 – MapleStory NEXT: Destiny Weapon & Star Force Reorganization!

March 20, 2025 7 comments

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.

KMST ver. 1.2.185 – Destiny Weapons & Huge Star Force Changes

March 13, 2025 41 comments

This test server patch was kinda nuts considering the only thing we knew was going to be included was the Destiny Weapon and it ended up having huge updates to the overall Star Force progression system lol. Changseop explained the update in more detail in his Maple Now stream.

We’ll see if there are any changes when this comes to the official server next week!

KMS ver. 1.2.398 – MapleStory NEXT: 3rd & 4th Mastery Cores!

December 19, 2024 35 comments

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.
