KMST V309 ~ Chaos Zakum & Horntail
May 3, 2010 124 Comments
Aaaaand the 2nd term of Tespia started today!
The servers were reset, all characters from the 1st term were wiped and it’s time for a new adventure in Tespia~
This term will last till August. I have a feeling that the new job is coming very soon.
In today’s patch, the item rating & reinforcement system is back!
Guess what? The scroll for potential & scroll for equipment enhancement can be obtained through monsters.
Since this is a new term, I haven’t exactly figured out the new stats you can get from the item rating & reinforcement system.
I’m still Lv. 16. ~_~;
When you enhanced your item 8 times successfully, a notification will appear that everybody can see.
After all… What are the chances you can get 8 stars?
8 stars or higher = 10% chance of success.
▲ Scroll for Equipment Enhancement
▶ The Advanced Equipment Enhancement Scroll gives a higher chance to scroll your item successfully:
1성 : 100%
2성 : 90%
3성 : 80%
4성 : 70%
5성 : 60%
6성 : 50%
7성 : 40%
8성 : 30%
9성 : 20%
10성 이상 : 10%
▲ Scroll for Potential. It has a 70% chance of success.
▶ The Advanced Scroll for Potential has a 90% chance of success.
So how do you get the advanced scrolls?
From Zakum, Horntail and Pink Bean only.
The meso price for the Magnifying Glasses were changed. They’re more expensive.
A new item, the Miracle Cube was added to Cash Shop.
The Miracle Cube can reset the potential abilities of an item.
New boss monsters were added in this patch: Chaos Zakum & Chaos Horntail.
Chaos Zakum:
- Has a total HP of 3,856,800,000
- Can cast different abilities than normal Zakum
- Drops rare items
- Can be fought in channel 1
- The required level to fight Chaos Zakum is 100
- Entry requirements same as normal Zakum
Chaos Zakum drops the following two special items:
Chaos Zakum Helmet
+21 AllStat
+10% HP and MP
+180 Physical and Magic Defense
+35 Accuracy and Avoidability
10 Slots
Chaos Zakum Tree Branch
+60 Weapon Attack
+90 Magic Attack
7 Slots
Chaos Horntail:
- Has a total HP of 9,080,000,000 (without preliminary heads)
- Can cast different abilities than normal Horntail
- Drops rare items
- Can be fought in channel 1
- The required level to fight Chaos Horntail is 110
- Entry requirements same as normal Horntail
Chaos Horntail drops the following special item:
Chaos Horntail Necklace
+10 AllStat
+10% HP and MP
+2 Weapon Attack and Magic Attack
+140 Physical and Magic Defense
+32 Avoidability
4 Slots
Chaos boss monsters have the same background settings, but with a few extra things such as animated lightning.
Can anyone imagine a Chaos Pink Bean?
About Spadow
Spadow's Blog 
Chaos pink bean… Enter the room and lose 10%, no matter what your LUK stat xD
HAHAHA LOL man … then noone would do chaosh PB
No One is going to fight a chaos Pink Bean(The Original Pink bean still has way more hp then Chaos Zakum and close to Chaps HT’s if u add up the statues hp with PB’s hp; it adds up to 7,650,000,000(and u have to kill all the statues twice except for ariel) Original PB is still harder then Chaos Horntail…
No one will chaos it… It’s too powerful unchaosed
if there is a chaos pink bean fk it raises the max lvl to 300
“Can be fought in channel 1” ._.
Remember, this is for KMST. It could always be different when it’s released in KMS.
i like the zakum helm awesome. chaos zakum helm*
hi spadow can u answer me some questions?
when DBS are coming to gms?
should i start preparing for em right now?
u play in gms?
can su show me korean?xD
plz answer some of that questions :D
You can prepare for it right now, but I don’t know when Dual Blade will hit GMS.
So instead of getting higher lvled content we get the same old and tired bosses with some new make-up?
I feel shame upon anyone who is satisfied by this.
Oh cmon, sure it’s pretty uncreative for Nexon to do. But this can serve as a challenge for boss hunters (especially Chaos HT). Although i’m unsure why they are making Chaos PB if KMS hasn’t even defeated it yet…
Atleast its better than a Mano and Stumpy make-up :O
Lol im satisfied, more bosses to fight means more easy exp. Hopefully their dmg isnt ridiculously high… like 8k for chaos zak, and 12k for chaos HT is good, imo. still hv to hp wash a significant amt to be able to fight them as well as hv a DrK in party and be a upper-high lvl.
I don’t think you’ve been to SouthPerry.
HornTail can block your Pot usage completely. Have fun bossing without being able to use pots…
And as for the rest of it, all it is are old skills given to old bosses with ridiculously jacked up numbers. On top of that, why the fuck should I spend 2-3 more thousand dollars on a video game just so I can survive?
Is it really this fucking difficult to think of new content Nexon?
We’re not certain what the skill even does to us, so don’t jump to conclusions just yet. In regard to your money bit, the new helm and pendant add HP. The bosses are meant to be a challenge, as you can clearly see by the “Hell” difficulty. If you don’t want to face the harder versions, then don’t. The Balrog boss came in different difficulties too, y’know. I do agree with the new content argument in a sort, but KMS did make those nifty new jobs recently and just now are releasing the new stat system.
The debuff name “Potion Block” sure sounds like it blocks potion usage to me. The new pendant and Helm add HP, but you have to, like KILL them to get it, and 10% is not likely going to be a big enough boost without HP washing when you can’t even repot.
It’s not the fact that I don’t want to fight the harder bosses, it’s the fact that Nexon is just throwing random shit out there for us higher levels just to try to get us to shut up while they release nerfed versions of areas meant to be for us to the noobs who likely won’t even step a foot inside of them. What the fuck does this have to do with the Balrog boss, at any rate?
From what we’ve seen from these new, “Nifty” jobs, which is nothing but an abstract screenshot and some vague skill names, using that as a defense is void. On top of that, I’d really love to get my Shadower to lvl 200, not just sit around making new job after new job after new job while not being able to pass 150 because training becomes a boring chore. The new stat system really sucks, too. Why make a ridiculously complicated and expensive way to make your godly weapons godlier when they can just release new weapons?
You don’t like these bosses because they are nerfed, and yet you prefer the theme dungeons over the World Tour areas?
Also, making new weapons would be too easy for people to get, this stat system makes a gamble out of your completely scrolled weapons, thus your putting billions-of-mesos weapon at risk for a great reward (for all levels). But just adding new weapons would just have a new limit of attack plus there would be no way to properly distribute the weapons if they are 130+
I don’t beleive I said a word about World Tour areas. My rant was over how much theme dungeons suck, so how you could come to that conclusion is beyond me…
I say there could be plenty of other ways to distribute weapons 130+… just make them Maker-exclusive or make them drop from some hard to kill boss… I didn’t argue with your points on the rating system because that’s all really semantics and arguing over them is pointless.
The same mob skill is used in Ghost Ship in the Sea Mist. For a period of time you cannot use potions.
your being really pissy about something that you don’t even have to do.
He has every right to be ticked off. Nexon Korea does not seem to understand what is needed.
What is needed are new high level training areas. NOT rehashed bosses that is more than likely to require immense amounts of HP washing to even stand a chance at.
To me, this looks like something Nexon Korea randomly threw out to shut up the high level populace. So far, it’s working for about half of them. To the other half, it’s absolutely insulting.
I’m guessing a bit that these Chaos Bosses are temporary, just testing out new skills that could be used for new incoming bosses.
Although I have no proof for my theory. Just speculating.
I’m not mad that the bosses are hard. I’m mad that for over a year I’ve been BoomSteppin and BoT’ing in the same area for hours, patiently waiting for new stuff for me to train on to come out, only to see that the “New” higher lvl content is nothing but a “STFU” from Nexon. I didn’t care for the Neo City bosses Nexon GMS gave us (but didn’t hate it, either. Everyone claimed melee classes couldn’t hit it, which as usual overlooked us Shads… I could hit it 100% of the time), but this is really pushing it. Higher lvls supply Nexon with a large portion of their money (The President even admitted it at one point), and the fact that seeing this likely means our chances of other upper lvl content in the next 14-16 months means I think I should just quit now.
So Spadow what job are you going to play as in the new term?
Warrior.
Sweet i love Heros!
He never said ‘Fighter’ for all we know he could be a Paladin or DrK too…
I know i was just saying i really like Heros…
Any word on the damage these bosses do?
Well, if the HP is any indication, dumptruck-loads.
Going off of the stats found in the SouthPerry extraction… Chaos Horntail makes Pink Been look like a joke. So does the Level 200 boss (Black Mage Familiar?) that Spadow hasn’t mentioned yet (probably because it won’t be released for a LONG while, which is understandable as he has 1750 M.ATK compared to Pink Been’s 1250, with 350 avoid to boot).
However, Chaos Zakum might be managable, like slightly-harder-than-regular-Horntail managable.
The name of the boss monster…
The boss is like a helper, an underling of the Black Magician sort of.
On that note, can you translate this?
“호오 .. 용사 의 후예 들이여, 진정 나를 즐겁게 만드는 구나 .. 하지만 이 정도 의 힘으로 우리들 을 쓰러뜨릴 수는 없는 일 … 하물며 그분 에게 저항 하는 것은 있을 수 없는 일이지 …”
Fiel says that this is the dialouge that the new boss says upon dying.
Black Mage’s Henchman A :D
item-wise, brilliant update
boss-wise… not so great o_o they could’ve at least tried to add different shading to the boss to make them look more evil or something
Nice move Spadow, not mentioning the NEW boss in this Tespia patch.
At least Fiel showed us this awesome-looking baddie we’ll learn about soon. =]
Spadow probably didn’t mention it because it’s most likely not going to be released for a LONG while. It’s understandable, because the boss clearly can’t be released with 350 avoid and a magic stat that is expected to deal in the realm of 18k+ damage.
Hopefully there’s going to be a new area to go along with this new boss.
The boss has nothing to do in this patch. It’s completely useless.
I don’t see its name in the patch note. Do you?
I will mention it when it actually appears in-game. That’s what I always do.
Sorry, I thought since we’re posting class delays, which is kind of a sneak peek for what’s obviously going to come, I thought such a boss would be suitable to spoil too since we’re going to know about it eventually, just not yet. I mean, those delays aren’t in the patch notes too, are they? o.o
But I understand; not really a big deal. And I’m not hating on Spadow Uhohano; I always come to this blog. I didn’t intend to make my post offensive, though I can see it being read in such a way. But I’ll stop now since I tend to cause pointless debates a lot over the internet.
i think that chaos zakum should be black! and it should drop black zakum helmets. epic
I believe that these chaos monster should have a relevant position in the current overall plot. These chaos bosses could of been infected though the Black Wings and given them an dark element to them (thus they have darker than normal) and their equip drops could contain darkness element to them (although making it with durability is unreasonable since these bosses are less likely to be defeated). And they could drop essential items to access the area that comes out of the major patch.
Ok is KMST and KMS the same? Im guessing one is just the test server, Chuey don’t bag on Spadow dang, its not his job title to update you on every little detail jeesh, God job with the blog Spadow I’ve been waiting for this for a bit now.
Those new jobs Im guessing we’ll probaly see some teasing if not full content around early/late august. O well we still find out the content before we get it here in GMS, Excellente’!!!!!!!!!!
KMST is Tespia in KMS, meaning it is a testing server that tries/experiments with new content before being officially released. GMS use to have GMST, but due to many abuses created from it, GMST has been closed since Summer/Fall 2008
OMG I love this idea, that would be even better, instead of the same old colors and what not, If their gonna make us work harder give us some visual.
I also think all of these new items and systems will help with the “defeation” of Pink Bean, they only make us stronger
Spadow were those images of Zak default or pulled from the patch, If not I guess Zak is staying the same…embar
The same, except the background of the map will be different.
Yeah, the only difference is there’s going to be lightning animations in the background for both Chaos Zakum and Horntail.
I feel like Nexon is stealing my ideas…
Then I feel like your ideas suck.
Don’t feel what you can’t perceive.
Burn.
What do u mean by 1st term all characters wiped out?
Characters in KMST don’t last forever, as in Nexon wipes out all characters in the test server whenever a new term starts.
This is likely because:
1 – There are different testers in every term
2 – It encourages the testers to focus on playing different classes in each term
3 – It also encourages testers to find bugs in new content rather than treating KMST as some kind of private server
On a side note, a really long time ago (like early 2008), GMS used to have their own test server. Private servers were starting to become popular around then too.
GMST didn’t last very long. Nexon America’s mistake was allowing any person to become a potential candidate for the test server. Of the people that got into GMST, it was likely that the large majority of them were total morons, as in:
– Treating GMST as if it was a private server
– Not actually testing out new content for possible bugs (ties in with the previous)
– Possibly pissing off the GMs by sending in ‘bug reports’ of personal crap like “Y U BAN ME GM I NO HACKER”
– I would imagine that quite a number of people were actually hacking in GMST
Cool! High-lvl content
Besides chaos zakum, this is stupid…..-__-
I think one of the reasons Nexon seems to be panicking right now is that MapleStory doesn’t really seem to be expandable. Clearly, from the black mage helper, Nexon wants to add higher-level content to the game, but they can’t do that without A) increasing the max level or B) increasing the possibilities for stats.
Increasing the max level wouldn’t work because of exponential experience growth; however, increasing stat/scrolling possibilities would. This explains all the buffs that Nexon has been giving out lately: better jobs, auto-casting pet buffs, enhancement system, etc.
~ And of course, this seems to be exactly what they are doing: making it possible to buff yourself to better than what a current 200 in gMS would look like – all for players to be able to defeat Pink Been, the Black Mage helper, and [hopefully] eventually the Black Mage.
training locations for levels 140-200.
ZOMG!!! WOW….WOW….Zakum gotten cooler!!!
THANK YOU SPADOW! This is a good angle for the Quest for level200-120 series and man ppl will enjoy this!
Hey Spadow, about the Peanut looking Gachapon + Cash Shop Surprise. It’s being released in GMS under the name “Dragon’s Twin Egg”, it does sound a lot less corny than “Peanut _______”
I’m guessing that the “Black Magician’s Servants” spawn after defeating a Chaos Boss. It seems sort of exciting that Nexon is finally adding on to the plot (instead of restarting it with every new job). We haven’t seen an update with the plot since the Time Temple.
Assuming no one else has said this already, I’m betting the whole “chaos” thing is just Nexon’s way of saying “Get back into shape you guys, you were supposed to beat Pink Bean in only a couple months! GET TRAINING!”
Translate:
“Ah .. Eorlingas veterans,’re really making me happy .. But this much can not overpower us a force … it can be much more to him, there is nothing to resist
… ”
“啊.. Eorlingas退伍军人，’再真的让我很高兴..但是有一点不能压倒我们的力量…它可以更对他来说，没有什么抵抗…”
Yeah, the terrible Google Translation is exactly why I’m asking Spadow, lol.
I know Korean so I think this is what it says:Ahh…Warriors you are making me happy.But you can not
defeat us with that power…. Resisting him is a impossible matter
I thought this was supossed to be the V308, maybe im wrong, but i dont find the V308 on your page :O … v307 – v309 :<
I hoped that chaos zakum and hornytail would look different from the original. Like a “dark” version of zakum/hornytail maybe, or a “negative” version.
I find the Chaos bosses…kinda okay, given that other games do stuff similar to that…
Someone mentioned that it would be beter if they dropped items to access special areas, right? I was thinking it could be a good idea for a high-level area (probably 180~200). Perhaps, some high level monsters should be re-used there, but in a corrupted form. Having a few low-mid-level bosses (Lv50~80) in a Chaos version there would be nice too. :p
No, dude…
At lvls 50-80 it’s time for you to CPQ or go grind at WR and MP3. You noobs don’t need anything else.
>Assuming every version hs MP3 and WR
Who’s talking about every version? I’m speaking of KMS and GMS, I don’t give a damn about the other versions because we clearly do not follow them.
Hanabira plays MSEA. CPQ2 is terrible for EXP. Outside of Windraiders (GMS exclusive) and the MP3 monsters (GMS and MSEA), Level 65-80+ is a struggle. Unless Dual Ghost Race turns out to have good EXP.
That said, I can tolerate them releasing new areas for the Level 60+ crowd. That is, if they’re good training areas, rather than just PQs.
Umm…I was talking about how it would be nice to have Chaos versions of Lv50~80 bosses in a high level area based on a corrupted Maple World. Nothing to do with training between Lv50~80. =.=
Not all KMST patches are worth talking about. Many are just bug fixes or tiny little things not worth mentioning anyway.
I wish they made the neck and helm alittle different. Perhaps darken the helm or add extra like some darkness effect surrounding the helm instead of the same old zak helm effect.
Maybe they will change the looks and stats for the Chaos zak helm – Necklace?
And i agree with the idea to release higher level weapons instead of these new scrolls. (I like them though don’t get me wrong) But it would still be better to release lv 130-140-150 weapons? and maybe an Ultimate lv 200 weapon
Speaking of 200 i think they should do something more with that since there is hardly anything you get when you get lv 200 besides Echo of hero a medal and red draco…
They should add something nice to that, but maybe something like that will happen in the future. :)
hey, spadow, any word about those new classes and that photo from the video?
ive heard that somewhere in basil someone found skill images (those tiny boxes in the skill window, not the actual things) with one taht has a gun there!
If those skill images are the same ones that have been making their way through the internet over the past week or so, chances are high that they’re fake.
If the info is not here or at SouthPerry, chances are extremely high that it’s fake.
What.The.****
Pink Bean has 2.1 billion hp and no-one defeated it without hacks yet.
and now ZAKUM AND HORNTAIL GOT 3.8 BILLION AND 9 BILLION HP ?!?!?!?
The main problem with Pink Been is the time limit. Other than that, it is possible to defeat Pink Been.
I’m not sure i can agree with you on that though cuz even with the time extended who know how it will be for people to defeat the PB now seeing that the extraterrestrial pink sonova ***** is always casting debuffs on us..
(as goes for the statues too)Add up all the statues hp with the PB’s cuz Pink Bean’s power is also stretched through the staues…
Even with all the increased HP (total I think it will surpass 50bil) and the new skills combined. Some maplers will not quit until they are kicked out of the map.
Although I can’t imagine Chaos PB being beaten in 1 hour. It would take at least 3~5 hours
My own server, Bera, had almost killed it when time ran out.
And then Windia almost had it until the Xbowmen broke the dmg cap ‘>>
I’m guessing that the Time:HP ratio for Chaos PB will be lower, meaning that not even Bera would have a chance at Chaos PB if they haven’t defeated PB
JMS has defeated PB. And all the bosses in PB fight have over 7b hp combined. And as Alilatias said, the main problem in PB fight is the time limit.
How do u get chosen for Tespia anyways ?
They could have at least, put on a new color scheme for the “Chaos” bosses.
I mean they look exactly the same as before.
just hope ur lucky.
They usually choose you again if you were helpful the first time
OMG great
“Ah .. Eorlingas veterans,’re really making me happy .. But this much can not overpower us a force … it can be much more to him, there is nothing to resist … ”
Cleaning it up a bit;
“Ah.. Eorlingas’ veterans are really making me happy.. But this much can not overpower our force… It can be much more. To him, there is nothing to resist…”
Someone else already used Google Translate on it earlier. This is why I’m asking Spadow, lol.
I’m thinking ‘Eorlingas’ means heroes, and it’s referring to descendants of the legendary heroes?
(That would imply that this new boss won’t be released until after all five legends are released, but then again, I doubt that they would ever make a legend-exclusive boss without ticking off a ton of people.)
I wouldn’t think they’d make a legend-exclusive boss until all 5 were out to begin with, :|
For all we know, this new content would come out when the rest of the legends are already out.
All that I can find about ‘Eorlingas’ is that it was the self-name of the Rohirrim, the Middle-men (The middle caste, beneath the citizens of Gondor, but above the Men of Darkness who served Sauron.) of the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
In this case, it may be safest to refer to Eorlingas meaning either the Heroes or an unknown player in the fight between the Heroes and the Black Mage.
Or multiple unknown player. “Eorlingas’ veterans” Sounds like they are veterans of some sort of groups or faction, refering Eorlingas as Heroes seems unlikely because the heroes are competely unrelated besides fighting the black mage
Ah, I misspoke. I meant refer to Eorlingas’ veterans as the Heroes.

As much as i love the new chaos zakum helmet it seems like its going to be hell to obtain one i mean 21 to all stats AND 10% HP AND 10%MP ZOMG % HP GEAR *DROOLS*
Its a good thing for archers =D so if i have 4k hp and gain an extra 10% gee extra 400 hp super super super sweeeet!
And the new lv 50 wand is just hack lv 50 with 90 magic atk?!!!! scroll it well and its an end game weapon.
Hi Spadow. Are u making a warrior to this new Test Server Term??
Hey Spadow, Just want to let you know since last time Timeless weapons were available in a version you wrote up a thing on it, A new thing (Quite similar to the peanut machine in KMS) was just added to Gms in today’s patch, You can win Reverse and Timeless equipment, http://maplestory.nexon.net/News/Events.aspx?boardNo=200&contentNo=007gu&pageIndex=1
It’s at the very bottom.
yea i mentioned it above it’s called the twin dragon’s egg.
I did a Ctrl+F for Twin Dragon’s Egg and Timeless, you never mentioned it.
I called it Dragon’s Twin Egg >_<
You did mention it, Put I was pointing out the Timeless Equipment, which you didn’t mention.
yo can u put some more stuff up about the new enginer job
If there’s nothing new to talk about, there’s nothing new to talk about. Spadow doesn’t work for Nexon, after all. He has to wait like the rest of us.
If he really had more info about the job, do you think that he would be hiding it from us?
Seriously all your doing is complaining. If you don’t like HP wash, dont do it. If you feel like you want to fight X boss and you dont hv enough hp, make a warrior classes, they require much less to no hp washing (considering +10% hp equips, im leaning towards no washing).
Any new content is good to see. Sure they look the same, with some minor discrepancies, but the new abilities still make it a new boss. I’ve been wanting more party bosses to come out, scar is lame exp, zak is good but only twice a day isnt enough, and HT isn’t fought a whole lot.
Also if you don’t like the direction MapleStory is going then just quit already.
I already did. Doesn’t mean I can’t watch as the game goes closer and closer to the grave.
Some people can’t juse whip a 4th job character out of their ass in a second like many of you… I can’t just “Make a warrior” because lvl 120 can take me well over a year to achieve. Besides, my complaint isn’t with how hard the bosses are, it’s the complaint that even though they’re releasing new content, there still isn’t a single new spot for me to train. I can 1hit every regular monster in the game, no problem. Training is just a robotic chore. I want something else to do, and more bosses that can own me, even with Meso Guard on, just aren’t what I wanna see. <_<
Although I do admit that I made those previous posts in rage. It'd been a long day for me and that just kinda tipped me over the edge.
Amen
Bah, I rage at things every day. I just lack the willpower to exert it.
Spadow, what exactly does reseting potential ablities with the miracle cube do?
It resets the effects of any Potential Scrolls used on an item.
BTW Spadow, if you have more two items that have +10%hp, is the hp calculated as:
100% + 10% + 10% = 120%
OR
100% * 1,1 (=10%) * 1,1 = 121%
It’s calculated as 100% + 10% + 10% = 120%
Say you have 1000 HP. You equip an item with +10% HP, you’ll have 1100 HP.
You equip another 10% item after that, and you should end up with 1210 HP, because 10% of 1100 is 110 HP.
You get it now?
Ack, misspoke on the calcs.
It’s 100% = 10% = 110% + 10% = 121%, if you understand how I’m getting that.
10% of 100 is 10, and 10% of 110 is 11.
I understand how you get that, since that is the calculation number two I used:
100% * 1,1 (=10%) * 1,1 = 121%
what if i dont aquip an item with +10% hp will my hp rise or not???????
…… lol
maplestory seems to be getting alot darker in the story i mean, first the black wings then the black magician and now chaos monsters, i think nexon is getting evil
yea, pink bean has 3 forms is one the original, 2nd 1 only casts damage reflect, zombify,stun and hits for 19999 damage(post bb 49,999) every hit and 3rd stage has genesis meteor, poison,zombify, stun,seduce, ice, dark genesis, and dark fog, damage reflect, megaphone spam, super dispel, and the command /kill all
all ultis hit 5k dmg(post bb 19,999)
all forms have max hp and pink bean every time he heals he heals for max hp.(every minute)
and you only have 3 minutes to kill each one.
