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).

A test world patch containing changes to the 2nd Mastery Core skills as well as other overall skill changes, the return of Elite Monsters and Bosses in Grandis, a full update to Heroes of Maple’s story, and the new Outfit Preset system!
This patch does NOT contain the previously mentioned changes to Cubes and mesos. That should be in a separate patch that will happen after next week’s live server patch on January 18 (where the 2nd Mastery Cores will be released).

As mentioned previously, the new 6th job Mastery Cores have been released in the test server! You should remember that these are still in testing and both the visuals and numerical values can be changed in the future. They will be released in the official server on January 18 so there’s about 3 weeks left for them to have additional patches. There’s probably going to be at least one more that includes new events.

The Angelic Buster remaster has hit the test server! This patch seems to be mostly visual update related, including her illustrations and skills with some QoL improvements sprinkled in. There are no sound effects or voice lines, and they even removed the tutorial story quests so I assume that’s what next week’s test patch will bring (along with corresponding events). In addition, released the second part of the teaser page, which is an interview with Angelic Buster herself!
They also snuck in a couple of cooldown changes to both the Angelic Buster link skill and the Genesis weapon iframe!
Read more…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!
