KMST V322 ~ Again skill adjustments

Again & again. Another set of skill adjustments were released in Tespia patch version 1.2.322.
But first something else, the test server has a new server~ ^^

KMS is getting a new server soon: Nova.

The skills of Adventurer, Dual Blade, Aran, Evan and Resistance were changed again.
The first patch with all these changes will be released on July 8th.

EXP from level 1 till 58

Many Maplers want a new EXP curve. Other versions of MapleStory got their EXP curve already, but not KMS. However, the massive update in Tespia didn’t only add new features but also a new EXP curve.

Nowadays I don’t play KMS a lot. I log on sometimes and say hello, but that’s all!
But ever since I read the details of the massive update, it makes me thinking if I should return to my Viper in KMS.

The EXP curve of KMST is crazy! Check it out~

KMST V321 ~ More skill updates, UI changes and Party Reward?

Edelstein is coming closer. In version 1.2.321 two map icons were added.

Edelstein

Leben Mine

The map icon for Edelstein is nice and it reminds me of this. ▼

Do you think this is Edelstein? This is a new map and is not implemented in any version of MapleStory.
An other area near Edelstein is Leben Mine. There is no map data except for strings of these areas so I cannot give you a preview yet.
Leben Mine reminds me of the Crystal Throw skill. Because the descriptions says it’s (crystal) collected from a mine.

I’m interested in the storyline of the Resistance race and I came across this comment from Alilatias, a visitor.

Update: How will the mount for the Mechanic look?

Recently the test server of Taiwan MapleStory released a huge patch. (98 MB)
All kinds of stuff were  added such as Evan, Dual Blade and Resistance data.

Several mounts were added to the Taiwan MapleStory test server like the Hyena of Lex, Balrog, Tiger, Speed racer mounts. This one too:

I have no idea what this mount on the left is called, but doesn’t it  give you this mechanical feeling?
Since the Resistance skills were added to the huge patch file, did they accidentally add this?
On the right, you can see the equipment background for the Mechanic, which was updated in the overhaul patch.

This image above was edited by Ormykka when a video of the 7th anniversary of MapleStory appeared on the internet. It showed some never before seen footage.
Compare the mount from the Taiwan MapleStory test server with the image from Ormykka.
What do you think?

UDPATE: Thanks to NEXON I found more images and I think this IS the Mechanic mount!

KMST patched today to version 1.2.320. A lot of classes got their skills buffed.
I can’t wait till KMST will release Edelstein and the Mechanic job!

KMST V318/319 ~ A complete overhaul

I can’t believe I was sleeping when a very big patch was released in the test server.
Oh well, I have read a lot of stuff about this patch and I think this is the ”really big patch” that was supposed to come in March.

A lot has changed: maps, monsters, skills for all classes etc. Basically a complete overhaul of the game.
Genesis, Meteor and Blizzard received a 30 second cooldown at Lv. 30. I don’t know if many people are happy with that, but I guess they’ll have to live with it.

This patch finally has support for windowed mode and resolution mode.
The default resolution mode is 800*600 and the new mode is 1024*786.

Want to see an image of both modes? Sure.

- 800*600 mode
- 1024*786 mode

The experience required for the next level has been reduced! This is the most common thing that the Korean Maplers want and now they’re getting it soon in KMS.
My Lv. 91 Wild Hunter needs 1,513,526 EXP for Lv. 92. That means they reduced it..by a LOT.

The next new thing is the user interface skin.

I have mixed feelings about this, it reminds me of beta back then with the silver background.
The ”Skin Change”  option has been enabled, but the keyboard settings will appear if you click on it.
In the future we will be able to add our own skins?!

Furthermore, several formulas were adjusted.
- The formula related to physical and magic attack damage has changed.
- The formula related to physical and magic defense has changed.
- The formula related to physical/magic accuracy and physical/magic avoidability has changed.
- Basic critical probability & damage has been added to any class.
- Basic mastery for weapons has changed.
- The Archer and Thief class now have no minimum range.

There’s a lot more stuff in this patch. There are new NPCs, new monsters, changed skills of all classes and an update on the Mechanic class!!

Go under the cut for more~

This is madness!

I’ve been browsing through the screenshots on insoya.com. A lot of interesting screenshots can show up such as item drops, Free Market deals, potential abilities on items and damage ranges. Some screenshots can be classified as hot which means it’s a hot topic.
So I clicked on this hot topic and saw this amazing screenshot from an Aran in the Tespia server.

Dragon Nest: Lv. 40!

This weekend I’ve been playing Dragon Nest and I finally got to 40. I’m happy but disappointed as well.
Happy because I can finally farm for Lv. 40 equips and learn the ultimate skill of a Priest: Heaven’s Judgement.
And disappointed because the level cap will not be raised for a very long time. OTL …
