MapleStory New Age Showcase!
The 2023 MapleStory Summer Showcase – New Age took place earlier today, where they showed off all of the things coming this summer, including the long-awaited 6th job!!
If you guys watched Steve’s stream or looked at my Twitter, you would know that Steve, Neo, and I were invited to the showcase as well! It was an amazing experience being in the crowd when such a huge announcement was made! We also got to briefly meet Director Kang Wongki (again) and Planning Team Leader Kim Changseop before they went on stage! I won’t be making a separate post about the day but I’ll include some photos in this one just to show what it looked like live.
I translated the showcase itself but I won’t be adding images because the pictures I took were not as good as the ones directly from the stream and I’m too lazy lol. However, it’s in the same order as the stream so you can follow along in another tab.
Also, the test world opened today with the game improvements and other changes (not 6th job, that will be on June 22). I’ll work on that later, maybe Monday!
Read more…KMS ver. 1.2.372 – MapleStory Savior: Fairy Wonky’s Wongstaurant!
The first patch of the MapleStory Savior update has been released! It includes various improvements to the overall growth experience, the Star Force system, and many skill changes. The main event for this winter, Fairy Wonky’s Wongstaurant, has also begun!
I tried out some new things in the post including anchor links to/from the overview, which I think will be pretty useful. Also I decided to stop covering Cash Shop updates since the rotations are never the same for every version lol. However, I’ll still add the more important information such as new Master Label/vac pet rotations and things like the BLACKPINK collaboration.

The test server was opened after the showcase a couple of days ago, containing the growth experience improvements, job balancing, Star Force improvements, the new job Khali, and many other changes.
Read more…KMS ver. 1.2.368 – MapleStory Ignition: Odium & Maple Vision Talk!
The third and final patch of the MapleStory Ignition update, Odium, has been released. It includes job balancing, the new level 275 area Awakened Laboratory: Odium, as well as various convenience improvements. It also has this year’s Chuseok event, where the summer event’s Ignition Fireworks Festival turns into the Ignition Full Moon Party and the collaboration event with BTS Jin!
In addition, before the patch, they released the 2022 Maple Vision Talk, where Wong-ki talked about MapleStory’s general direction going forward.
Edit: There was a minor patch the next day with a few additional skill changes and bug fixes. I’ll include the skill changes in the main section marked in red but I’ll put the rest in its own section at the bottom.
KMST ver. 1.2.145 – Skill Balancing & Odium
Big patch, long patch notes. I was also like 75% done with the skill changes last night and then my Google Chrome tab crashed and WordPress’ autosave feature didn’t work so I lost all my work and went to sleep mad. There’s still some stuff like the list of monsters added to Monster Collection [Edit: now added thanks to Anonymous in the comments!] and the error fixes but no one cares about that.
On the bright side, Odium is very cool and the BGMs are bangers 🙂
