KMS ver. 1.2.413 – MapleStory’s 23rd Anniversary: Maple Attack!
MapleStory’s 23rd anniversary: Maple Attack has begun! This patch contains a ton of gameplay improvements to leveling up, boss patterns, skill rings, enhancing, and boss rewards, as well as the new Training Grounds system to test out your damage rotation and help the MapleStory team in future balancing.
The main event is themed around Maple Island, the real-life MapleStory theme park opening in Seoul in April. There’s also the new Change Burning: Lucid event where you can transform into and play as Lucid, and the Jin’s Mysterious Garden event where you can get crazy growth rewards from BTS Jin!
Read more…Maple Now LAN Virtual Tour!
As stated previously, Director Changseop did a live stream yesterday called the Maple Now LAN Virtual Tour! He said it would be a mini-showcase and it was definitely that (or even more) with all the stuff he announced. This year’s anniversary will take place over the next three months (March, April, May) and they have prepared lots of content both in-game and in real life (such as the MapleStory theme park)!
After the Maple Now stream, the test server was opened with some of the changes which will be coming to the live server next week. Recently I’ve only been doing live server posts so I probably will end up continuing that, it’s just easier to take my time over a week+ instead of having to rush to finish the test server as fast as possible then have to do more work for whatever is different in the live server patch a few days later.

The fourth and final patch of the MapleStory NEXT update has been released, featuring the new Destiny Weapon system as well as a big update to the Star Force system (mainly being able to reach 30 stars)! Everything basically came as-is from the test server, except for a bit of changes to the values of the Adversary’s Resolve drops from bosses for the Destiny Weapon missions.
Next month is MapleStory’s 22nd anniversary, the live server patch will be on April 17 and the test server patch will probably be on April 10. It’s also going to be the first patch with brand new content that wasn’t covered by the NEXT showcase.

This test server patch was kinda nuts considering the only thing we knew was going to be included was the Destiny Weapon and it ended up having huge updates to the overall Star Force progression system lol. Changseop explained the update in more detail in his Maple Now stream.
We’ll see if there are any changes when this comes to the official server next week!
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.
