KMS ver. 1.2.304 – Black Mage: New Beginning!
The Black Mage: New Beginning patch contains a permanent version of Arcane River’s final area, Tenebris as well as the ability to fight bosses such as True Hilla and Black Mage and to unlock the true power of the Genesis weapons, the strongest weapons in all of MapleStory! In addition, this patch has (sort of quietly) increased the maximum level cap to level 275. The ride never ends!
Along with this patch, Nexon released a new cinematic, titled Magnus Memoirs: Dawn of a New Age. It talks a little bit about Grandis, Magnus’ past, and about his master, Grandis’ Transcendent of Life, Gerand Darmoor. It seems we will be quickly moving forward with Grandis’ story!
KMST ver. 1.2.073 – Tenebris & Level Cap Increase!
Honestly I thought this patch was gonna be small, like some harvest festival events, but it’s actually pretty big!
This patch (coming to the official servers next week) contains Tenebris, the area we explored during the Black Mage update which has been changed into a permanent area as well its bosses. It includes a new set of weapons that blows Arcane Shade out of the water!
There’s also something huge, another level cap increase! The maximum level is now level 275!
KMS ver. 1.2.302 – MapleStory: Black Mage – Labyrinth!
The third patch of the MapleStory: Black Mage update has been released! Labyrinth includes a new set of 5th job skills for every job as well as the second area of Tenebris, the Labyrinth of Suffering. Deep inside, you can even fight the newly reborn Commander True Hilla!
KMS ver. 1.2.300 – MapleStory: Black Mage – Prelude of War!
The second patch of the MapleStory: Black Mage update has been released! The Prelude of War includes the first area of Tenebris, Moonbridge. Along with it, many new Alliance Missions, Alliance Skills, and the Alliance Supply Shop have been added.
Edit: On July 7, a new patch was released for ver. 1.2.301, with a new temporary world called Burning! It’s a new type of world meant to help lessen server stress on the most populated worlds. More information about it is located at the end of the post.
KMST ver. 1.2.070 – Tenebris Expedition – Moonbridge!
The new KMST patch includes the first area of Tenebris, Moonbridge! Tenebris is open to all characters level 200 and over that have completed the 5th job advancement, and is a unique area for a variety of reasons: areas will gradually unlock themselves as Maplers in the same world collect Desire and the maps here all function like the Frozen Link event, with individual monsters.
In addition, they added a bunch of new missions as well as the Alliance skills, Alliance Supply Shop and some changes to 5th job skills.
KMS ver. 1.2.297 – MapleStory: Black Mage – Gathering of Heroes!
The first patch of the summer update, MapleStory: Black Mage, has been released! The Gathering of Heroes includes the addition of the Maple Alliance outpost, where you can collect Desire to fight against the Black Mage and changes to make levelling up easier.
EDIT: A new patch, ver. 1.2.298 was been released a couple days later. It included a new World Leap event as well as some game changes (e.g. extended Urus Golden Time). All details are at the end of the post!
EDIT2: Ver. 1.2.299 has also been released, expanding the number of channels to 40 for the most populated worlds! Tera Burning is tearing the servers apart!!
KMST ver. 1.2.069 – MapleStory: Black Mage Begins!
Yesterday, Nexon held the offline event, MapleStory: The BLACK to announce this summer’s update, which is now confirmed to be called MapleStory: Black Mage! And not too long afterwards, they released most of the patch contents into KMST!!
The conference began with this cool animated video, called Gathering of Heroes. Almost every MapleStory character was featured!
