kMS ver. 1.2.136 – Cannon Shooter & the Legend Festival!
The patch is finally over! Cannon Shooters have been released~!
The Link Skill system has been added! At level 70, the ability to link a skill with another character will appear. Press the button and choose a character to link them! You can change the character that the skill is linked to once per day. The three skills that use this system are Pirate Bless, Elf’s Blessing (which does not give you 10% experience like the EXP+ for Cygnus, it gives +10% exp from monsters), and Demon Fury.
I have prepared a blog post about ALL the new things in this patch, and there sure are a lot! Please read past the cut to see them~
kMSt ver. 1.2.391 – Mercedes Buffs & Thief Nerfs?
It looks like we won’t have to farm Legend Coins for the AP Reset! On July 9, there will be a Hot Time event where everyone will receive an AP Reset! You can also get some personality potions, a Legend Coin, and a Mysterious Love Letter, which gives some fame. NX items will be given out as well! Will you be lucky and get a Protect Shield, Miracle Cubes, or some other Cash item? Log on at 2:30 pm on Saturday and see~
New skill changes have appeared, and there’s even one for the forgotten thief class?
- Shadow Partner/Mirror Imaging: can no longer do more damage than the original damage it is copying.
Hmm… why would they add in this random change? When will the real thief and pirate rebalancing come? Only time will tell… There was also another change to the other classes, INT no longer has an effect on your maximum MP (unless you are a mage). To compensate, the formula for MP gain upon levelling has been changed.
You can only stay in the mining/herbalism maps for 10 minutes, rather than the 20 minutes that was previously announced.
The durability system has been renewed! All tablets now have a fixed 70% chance of passing. Failing one no longer breaks your item! Tablets now add more stats than regular scrolls.
Upon logging on, everyone receives a free Character Slot Coupon! (unless you have 15 slots) Another coupon will be available in the future through an event!
Mercedes’ magic arrows have been renewed~ They look much more magical now, haha. Also, the multiplier of the dual bowgun has been adjusted. Does that mean it is higher or lower?! Anyways, go past the cut to see Mercedes’ skill changes~
kMSt ver. 1.2.390 – Mercedes Skill Changes
A new patch was released~ That was pretty fast, Mercedes became open just yesterday!
A new item has been added, called the Innocent Scroll. It comes in a 70% (with 30% of breaking if failed) version and a 20% version. It completely resets the stats of an item, the potential, and the levels (if you can level it up).
Mercedes now receives 5 SP at advancement, since before this patch, she was missing 5 SP to max every skill in first job. And now for the skill changes!
- Cross Piercing: Instead of hitting 165% 2 times, it now hits 83% 4 times.
- Soul Purify: No longer heals your MP.
- Unicorn Spike: Now has a 100% chance of critical. Weakened effect now lasts for 10 attacks, and 20 on bosses.
- Ishtar’s Ring: You cannot move while using this skill anymore. Now passively increases damage of Strike Dualshot. Prerequisite of 20 Strike Dualshot was added. At max level, increases damage of Strike Dualshot by 25%.
- Legendary Spear: Damage has been increased from 520% to 572%. Now passively increases damage of Leap Tornado by 20%. Prerequisite of 10 Leap Tornado has been added.
- Defense Break: Now has a 30% chance of ignoring 100% defense.
kMSt ver. 1.2.389 – Mercedes!
Today a new patch was released to Tespia, and the new job Mercedes is available! Sadly, I don’t have a Tespia account right now (I hope I get in to the coming term!) but I have covered all the skills!
Everyone’s speed has been increased by 20%. The Quick Move system has been added. Click a button on the minimap and you can choose to be moved straight to a useful NPC on the map! All the quests in Victoria Island have been reorganized! They are now very good exp for those under level 30!
The Legend Festival has begun! Many items are available for purchase for Legend Coins in the Legend Store! A full AP reset, SP reset, advanced scrolls, many Legend weapons, many Legend scrolls, and many equipment are on sale! For more information, see my previous post.
The profession system was improved greatly. All levels of every profession now need half the amount of experience, and all crafting gives double experience. The amount of fatigue you have each day has been increased from 100 to 200. Fatigue replenishes itself faster now. You can now buy an Advanced or Expert ticket from Menz for the new hidden mining/herb rooms. Also, when crafting, you can now make more than 1 item at once. For example, if you have the materials to make 10 bronze plates, instead of making each one separately, just input 10 when it asks and you’ll make them all at once!
Many, many, MANY new items are now available to be crafted. Things like the White Angelic Bless ring, which gives 10 to all stats and 12 attack, and this Dominator Pendant, which gives 35 to all stats, 10% HP and MP, 5 attack and magic attack, and 15 speed and 10 jump! There are even potions that give invincibility, droprate/experience increases, and resistance to states!
The terrain of Nautilus Harbour has completely changed. Every single map has been reorganized! For example, here is the new interior of the Nautilus. In Henesys, the terrain was slightly changed. Two new monsters have been added in the Golem Temple area, Fire Mix Golem and Ice Mix Golem.
The third unicorn pet was added, Unicorn Genie! If you have all 3 Unicorn pets, you will gain access to the Pegasus Riding skill.
A new world will released with Cannon Shooter, it is called Legend. Another world will be released soon, when Mercedes is available to the regular server.
Please check past the cut for the skills of the legendary Hero Mercedes and more information about this patch!
