MapleStory Next, MapleCon & KMST ver. 1.2.180 – Demon Slayer Collaboration
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?!
Read more…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).
Read more…KMS ver. 1.2.386 – MapleStory Dreamer: 2nd Mastery Cores!
The second patch of the winter update, Dreamer, has been released! It contains the second set of 6th job Mastery Cores, improvements to Grandis’ instanced Authentic Force maps, Heroes of Maple’s reorganization, and outfit presets. The New Name Auction event has also returned!
The test server patch that features the meso and Cube changes that everyone is waiting for will be released at some point in the future (seriously, there’s no announced date other than some time after this live server patch).
