The second patch for the 18th anniversary has been released, although it’s only a single new event to replace Blooming Race. Other than that, this patch includes a lot of improvements and bug fixes. Nexon also released a notice stating the changes they made from KMST based on feedback, which I’ll include at the beginning of the post. Overview Events Blooming Dance Party Improvements Skills Boss Monsters Ability Reboot Etc Error Fixes Skills Boss Monsters Monsters Quests Maps Items UI Etc Changes from KMST ver. 1.2.121 Reboot Improvements The Reboot passive’s damage % boost will be kept the same as it is currently. Developer Notes: We are preparing the Reboot passive improvement with a goal of implementing it in the June update after additional testing. In addition, we will review the regular monsters’ HP and experience multiplier to see if there is anything that we can change. Event Improvements The Blooming Dance Party‘s difficulty has been slightly decreased. The number of dance moves in stage 3~4 has been decreased from 6 to 5. The number of dance moves in stage 6~7 has been decreased from 9 to 7. The number of dance moves in stage 8~9 has been decreased from 12 to 10. Developer Notes: When we reviewed the test world’s Blooming Dance Party play patterns, we saw that a lower amount of people reached the higher stages when compared to previous events, so we have adjusted the difficulty to make it a bit easier. Skill Error Fixes The following patterns can now also be defended against by Mikhail’s Royal Guard and Adele’s Dike. Pierre’s falling hat pattern Vellum’s stalactite pattern Improvements Skills Certain jobs’ skills have had attack speed increasing effects added or their existing effects have been increased. Hero: Weapon Mastery now increases attack speed by 1 stage. Paladin: Weapon Mastery now increases attack speed by 1 stage. Adventurer Magicians: MP Increase now increases attack speed by 1 stage. Adventurer Archers: Archer Mastery now increases attack speed by 1 stage. Cannon Shooter: Buck Shot now increases attack speed by 1 stage. Flame Wizard: Book of Fire‘s attack speed boost has been increased from 1 stage to 2 stages. Spell Control now increases attack speed by 1 stage. Luminous: Spell Mastery now increases attack speed by 1 stage. Angelic Buster: Lyrical Cross‘ attack speed boost has been increased from 1 stage to 2 stages. Kinesis: Pure Power now increases attack speed by 1 stage. The maximum limit for mastery has been increased from 95% to 99%. Developer Notes: Currently, only Kinesis applied mastery up to 99% while other classes were restricted to 95%. When Expert type skills had their skill levels increased by things like Combat Orders, the mastery would not be increased past this limit so we have increased it. Bowmaster Bow Booster: This skill has been changed to a passive skill. The skill name has been changed to Bow Acceleration. This skill now increases DEX by 20 at max level. Afterimage Shot: Active effect’s damage has been increased from 800% to 1200% (at level 25). Cooldown has been increased from 30 seconds to 60 seconds. Developer Notes: For Afterimage Shot, it was inconvenient to use it every 30 seconds to activate the passive effect, so we have alleviated this by increasing the cooldown. Viper When you die and resurrect, your Energy will now be maintained without having to use a Buff Freezer. Soul Master Elysion: Duration has been increased from 30 seconds to 40 seconds. Cross the Styx will no longer consume MP while this skill is active. Soul Eclipse: Duration has been increased from 30 seconds to 40 seconds. Wind Breaker Pinpoint Pierce: Debuff duration has been increased from 30 seconds to 60 seconds. Phantom Cane Booster: This skill has been changed to a passive skill. The skill name has been changed to Cane Acceleration. This skill now increases LUK by 20 at max level. Misfortune Protection: This skill has been changed to a passive skill. The elemental resistance and status resistance have been increased from 40%/40 to 45%/45. Pray of Aria: Damage boost and defense ignore have been changed to passive effects. REMOVED! Misfortune Protection – Immunity Enhance, Misfortune Protection – Max Heart Points, Misfortune Protection – Max Magic Points NEW! Talent of Phantom Thief – Reinforce: Stolen attacking skills’ damage is increased by 15%. [required level: 150] NEW! Talent of Phantom Thief – Persist: Stolen buff skills’ durations are increased by 10%. [required level: 165] NEW! Talent of Phantom Thief – Enhance: Increase Steal Skill’s number of 4th job skill slots by 1. [required level: 190] Blackjack: Number of cards thrown when Blackjack is used has been increased from 1 to 3, bounce damage has been increased from 800% to 1200%, unseal damage has been increased from 1200% to 1600%, number of bounces has been decreased from 20 to 6 per card, cards’ movement speed has been decreased (at level 25). The Liberated Card effect has been added: after using Blackjack, if you re-use the skill when all 3 cards still remain, they will now all fly to the enemy with the highest maximum HP in range in front of you and disappear, liberate their power and deal 1400% damage 1 time on up to 10 enemies, activating 3 times. The number of attack activations will increase based on the thrown cards’ remaining attacks (including the unsealed attack), up to 21 attack activations. If you cast this skill by pressing the down arrow key with the skill, the Liberation attack will be activated as soon as the cards are thrown. The existing function to instantly unseal the cards when the skill is re-used has been changed to activate the liberation attack. Developer Notes: Since Talent of Phantom Thief is usually used for buff skills, the number of buffs that needed to be used was high so certain buffs were changed to passives to reduce inconvenience. In addition, to increase Blackjack’s effectiveness a bit, we increased the number of cards and added a new feature. Luminous Dark Crescendo: Buff duration has been increased from 12 seconds to 20 seconds. NEW! Crossroads of Destiny: You can choose between walking the path of light or path of darkness again to change your skills. However, the story cannot be changed and will proceed with your initial choice. You can only use this skill in towns. You can press the ESC key to cancel the selection and close the UI. This skill is not affected by cooldown resets and cooldown decreasing effects. (max level: 1) Level 1: Cooldown: 6 hours. Developer Notes: After the Dark Crescendo change, certain content showed different patterns than before so we have increased the duration a little more. In addition, since the choice between light and darkness happens shortly after character creation, we have added a new skill that lets you choose between them again after growing your character enough so that it doesn’t affect performance that much. Demon Slayer Devil Cry: Action delay has been decreased by 23%. Kain Possession/Possession II: Malice created every few seconds has been increased by 10. Sneaky Sniping/[Possess/Execute] Sneaky Sniping: First attack’s range has been increased by 11%. Grip of Agony: MP consumed has been decreased from 1000 MP to 600 MP, duration has been decreased from 6 seconds to 5 seconds, maximum number of harvested Agony has been decreased from 15 to 5, maximum duration has been decreased from 20 seconds to 10 seconds, cooldown has been decreased from 180 seconds to 90 seconds, damage has been increased from 950% to 1200% (at level 25). Developer Notes: Grip of Agony’s duration and cooldown have been decreased so that it can be used more flexibly to match battle situations. Zero Divine Force/Divine Swift: Buff Freezers will now apply to these skills. Critical Bind: Critical Bind will no longer bind normal monsters. Monsters that are not bound by Critical Bind will now be debuffed, and Alpha’s critical rate and critical damage will be increased when hitting monsters with this debuff like when hitting bound enemies. The debuff has the same resistance time as the bind resistance. Developer Notes: Critical Bind was inconvenient because of the constant messages of bind resistance when attacking a large number of normal monsters, and Critical Bind’s critical damage boost effect did not apply to enemies that weren’t affected by the bind. Since there was little benefit to binding normal monsters, we have changed it so that it only affects boss monsters and the skill now debuffs enemies that are not bound, so that the critical damage boost effect would still be applied. Boss Monsters The boss monster exit portals have been changed to be translucent so they do not cover attack patterns. When the Damaged Black Heart, Absolabs Essence, and Arcane Shade Essence drop, they will now appear as large icons. [Colour Blindness Support] Pierre (Normal/Chaos)’s hats have been changed to have different patterns to make them easier to distinguish. Purple Pierre and Blue Pierre’s hat patterns have been changed. Pierre’s Soul icon and the Chaos Pierre Clear Reset Ticket icon have been changed to match the updated hat patterns. Pierre’s Soul Skills ‘Surprise Pierre’ and ‘Pierre’s Hat Gift’ have been changed to match the updated hat patterns. The resurrection logic in Zakum (Easy/Normal/Chaos), Von Bon (Normal/Chaos) and Vellum (Normal/Chaos) have been changed to a method where you resurrect without re-entering. Alleviated an issue in Von Bon (Chaos) where if a character died then resurrected when the space time collapse pattern was activated, Von Bon would continuously stay in an invincible state. Developer Notes: The resurrection logic has been changed to fix issues caused by the re-entry logic such as continuous patterns’ images being invisible if you died then resurrected when soloing or casting 2 patterns at the same time which should not have been cast together. In Lucid (Easy/Normal), the Nightmare Golems and Nightmare Poison Mushrooms have been changed from taking fixed damage to having normal HP. Lucid’s bomb pattern’s difficulty has been eased. Lucid will now cast the bomb debuff on all characters, and you will only be able to see your own bomb and its remaining explosion time. When the bomb explodes, instead of the damage being distributed amongst nearby party members, the damage you take yourself will now be decreased based on the number of nearby party members. The bomb’s damage has been decreased from 199% max HP to 180% max HP. When the pattern is activated, a dream containing Lucid’s memories will now appear at specific areas of the map. If you are near the dream when the bomb explodes, you will receive the same damage reduction effect as if you had 1 party member nearby. However, if there is even 1 other party member nearby, you will not receive the damage reduction effect from the dream. When the bomb explodes, it will no longer spread to other characters. Developer Notes: We have reduced inconvenience by applying the remaining time and distance to party members more accurately, and have changed the pattern so that it can be overcome even when soloing. The Genesis weapon liberation quests’ difficulty have been eased. When challenging Will, Lucid, or Jin Hilla, you can now perform the mission in a party of 2 or less if you are both on the same Liberation mission and have not already cleared it. If you enter as a party of 2, you will receive an additional penalty of 50% final damage reduction. Developer Notes: (TN: I actually forgot these in the KMST patch notes!) The Genesis weapon liberation quests were designed to have the maximum difficulty in single-player format. But depending on the boss monster patterns, there were big differences in relative difficulty when soloing them, so we have tried to ease their difficulty by allowing party play with limited conditions. To prevent drastically changing the difficulty, you can only participate with party members who are on the same mission and you will receive a final damage reduction. Ability The Ability rank up difficulty has been eased. When resetting Ability, the rank can no longer go down. Since ranks can no longer go down, the feature to lock Ability rank has been removed. When resetting Ability, the chance to increase ranks from Epic to Unique has been changed from 1% to 2%. ※ The method of resetting Ability lines will remain the same. The first line will be the same rank as your Ability and the second/third lines will be set based on the probability of the Ability rank. ※ The Ability reset costs have been changed as follows. You can no longer lock lines at Epic rank. Developer Notes: We are planning to improve the Ability system’s difficulty step-by-step, and the first one is to ease the difficulty of tiering up and reducing deviation. Resetting Ability will no longer decrease rank, and the overall reset costs when locking lines have been decreased. As a result, the expected amount of Honor required to go from Rare to Legendary has been decreased by about 15%. Etc Certain parts of the Blaster image in the Resistance character creation window illustration have been changed. Xenon and Zero’s character creation window illustrations have been changed to use spine effects. The item enhancement UI has been improved. Fixed an error where if you were enhancing an equipped pendant, the damage boost when compared to another slot’s pendant would be displayed. Equipment that cannot be equipped will no longer display the damage boost. While enhancing items, you can no longer equip or unequip items. While enhancing items, you can no longer move items in your inventory or use the item sort feature. Developer Notes: To avoid mistakes due to equipment locations changing while enhancing items, we have changed it so that they cannot be moved. The Wish Coin acquisition logic has been improved. Pets can now pick up Wish Coins normally. Wish Coins will now appear with a large icon when they drop. When additional Wish Coins cannot be accumulated due to situations such as already having acquired 400 Wish Coins in a week, a message will now be displayed on the screen. The All Cure Potion‘s item description has been updated to include a list of statuses that it can remove. Poison Seal Blind Weakness Curse The Diligence and ‘Master of Enhancement’ guild skills‘ descriptions have been updated to include a list of scroll types that are not affected. Potential Scrolls Additional Potential Scrolls Potential Stamps Additional Potential Stamps Chaos Scrolls Clean Slate Scrolls Innocent Scrolls Equipment Enhancement Scrolls Star Force Enhancement Scrolls Lucky Item Scrolls Gold Hammer Yggdrasil’s Blessing Certain Pet Equipment Enhancement Scrolls Certain pet equipment scrolls’ item descriptions have been updated to include that they are not affected by Diligence or the ‘Master of Enhancement’ guild skill. In the Cash Shop, you can now preview Hair Coupons or Face Coupons using your character’s current hair and face colour. The maximum number of Red Cube Fragments, Black Cube Fragments, and Additional Cube Fragments in a single slot has been changed to 9999. In the System Options, a new option has been added that lets you choose if Pet Auto HP should apply when your skills consume HP. The maximum amount shown has been changed to 95% to match the current logic. In the Maple Union UI, when looking at other presets (even if they are not being edited), it will now show the difference in attackers and battle power from the currently applied preset. In Monster Park, if you try to enter while the profession window is open, a notice will now be outputted that tells you to close all related windows and try to enter again. The Lady Blair’s Dream Express event will now appear in the event list 7 days before it starts so you can confirm the event period. Error Fixes Skills Fixed an issue where certain skills’ attack ranges would change based on the direction the character was facing. Archmage (I/L)’s Frozen Orb Cygnus Knights’ Cygnus Phalanx Evan’s Dive of Thunder Luminous’ Morning Starfall Blink related errors have been fixed.

Fixed an issue where if you were in Dark Sight and were hit by a meteor pattern at the same time that Dark Sight was cancelled, it would appear to be avoided but you would still take damage. You will no longer take damage in this case. Fixed an issue with Eunwol and Zero where if they used certain skills while on cooldown, an inconsistent sound effect would be outputted. Fixed an issue in certain content where Eunwol’s Soul Split’s soul and Wild Hunter’s Call of the Hunter’s summoned monsters were considered monsters that needed to be defeated. Fixed an issue with Paladin’s Holy Unity where if a party member died after being bonded to and you bound with another party member, you could not rebind to the first party member even if they resurrected. Fixed an issue with Dark Knight’s Darkness Aura where it could be used while hanging on a rope. Fixed an issue where if the Dark Strike was used while on a rope, the attack would not be activated and the skill would end. Adventurer Magician’s Unstable Memorize’s skill description has been changed from ‘random’ to ‘specific’. Developer Notes: Since only certain 1st~4th job skills are activated and the chance of activating later job advancement skills is higher, the chance is different for each skill so we have updated the wording to be clearer. After a Bishop learns Advanced Bless, if they use Bless, it will now activate Advanced Bless. Fixed an issue with Bowmaster and Marksman’s Archer Mastery where after they learned it, they could perform long range basic attacks without arrows. Fixed an issue with Bowmaster’s Arrow Platter where skill effect transparency was not applied.

Fixed an issue with Mercedes’ Spirit Escape where if you used it while using a rushing skill, the rush skill would not be activated for a short period of time. Fixed an issue with Mercedes’ Legendary Spear – Reduce Armor where the defense reduction was displayed as a negative number. Fixed an issue with Mercedes’ Sylphidia where if you used certain buff skills while hanging on a rope, there would be awkward actions.

Fixed an issue in the Union Raid where the placed attacker would output the base colour.

Kaiser’s Final Figuration has been changed so that the hit box for the left and right directions is the same as regular mode. Cadena’s Chain Arts: Takedown’s skill description has been updated to match the current logic of the level 20 Enhancement Core effect affecting the shockwave and the final attack’s number of mobs hit.

Fixed an issue with Zero’s Transcendent Rhinne’s Prayer where the client would exit if the additional attack activated on a monster that disappeared. Fixed an issue with Zero’s Shadow Flash where if it was used at the same time that the platform disappeared, the divine area would be created at a location different from where it was used.

Fixed an issue in Chaos Von Bon where Pet Auto Pot would consume 2 potions at the same time in the Inner World. Fixed an issue in Zakum where the arms would not be visible if they were not attacked after they respawned. Fixed an issue where certain arms did not attack after they respawned. Fixed an issue in phase 2 where the clap pattern sometimes continued longer than intended. Fixed an issue in phase 2 where after the clap pattern ended, sometimes the flames on the floor would not disappear. Papulatus can no longer be bound while in the Alarm Mode. Developer Notes: During the Alarm Mode, Papulatus does not use any patterns other than the map pattern, but if it was bound, it would begin to move freely after the bind ended, allowing it to use its own patterns along with the map pattern, which increased the difficulty. We have changed it so that it can no longer be bound while in Alarm Mode so that the difficulty does not change based on skill usage. Fixed an issue in Suu where if a party member died in Phase 1 then didn’t revive until the party members entered phase 3, they would not be able to move after being moved to phase 2. Fixed an issue where you would receive additional damage if you hit the ceiling after being hit by the gravity field pattern. Fixed an issue in Demian where if you used monster tracking skills while it was casting specific patterns, they would not find targets properly. Fixed an issue where if you became invincible at the same as receiving 7 Stigma stacks, you would not die even after the invincibility ended. Fixed an issue in Lucid where in phase 2, if a bind skill was used at the same time as when it was activating a powerful attack, sometimes Lucid would use 2 patterns at the same time. Fixed an issue where if a platform broke and disappeared, sometimes it would not be recreated. Fixed an issue where sometimes the blades would be fired from a different location than Lucid. Fixed an issue in Will where in the boss UI, the challenge blocked status was outputted in reverse between Normal and Hard.

Fixed an issue in Dusk where in Fear mode, the warning attack would deal damage faster than the effect. Fixed an issue in Jin Hilla where if you defeated it in a party, the voice that was outputted would overlap several times. When there are party members who exited, the number of candles will now be decided based on the number of remaining party members. The number of candles will change after the next soul cut. In Black Mage phase 3, the powerful damage laser’s effect has been changed to be different from the regular laser. Fixed an issue in phase 3 where Mikhail’s Soul Link applied to party members. Monsters Fixed an issue where certain summons could hit monsters who would only take damage from basic attacks. Fixed an issue where if 2 or more installed patterns were activated at the same spot on certain platforms, only 1 would deal damage. In Pollo and Fritto’s Bounty Hunting, the Stormwing that appears can no longer be picked up by skills that pick up monsters. Fixed an issue with Crimsonwood’s Demon Illusionist where it could not be attacked during certain actions. Fixed an issue with Chew Chew Island’s Chief Bishark, Chief Crilla, and Crilla did not have their headbutt attack. Fixed an issue in Pollo and Fritto’s Bounty Hunting where if monsters’ experience exceeded 2,147,483,647, you would not acquire experience. Quests Fixed an issue where there was an awkward notice when trying to enter the Resistance Headquarters’ Training Room Force. Fixed an issue where if you had the Sudden Mission to find a Burning map and you entered a Burning map at the same time as moving to another Burning map, the completion count would show 2 but it would not be completed. Fixed an issue in the ‘[Gold Beach] Strange Submarine’ quest’s cutscene’s background where the current map’s background was visible. Fixed an issue where the ‘Roly Poly’s Extension’ quest’s information and map had incorrect information. Fixed an issue where the ‘[Pink Bean] Beyond the Ruins’ quest could not be completed. In Morass’ ‘Last Component’ quest, if you fail it and try again, the cutscene will no longer play again. Fixed an issue in Jin Hilla’s Labyrinth of Suffering Depths where the mission could not be completed since the altar did not appear. Fixed an issue where the ‘Most Important Thing 2′ quest’s summoned boxes’ locations were awkward. Fixed an issue where if Bowmaster/Marksman job advanced to Pathfinder, they could not start Black Heaven Act 2. Fixed an issue with the ‘[Arkarium] Queen of Elves’ quest where if you accepted it and immediately forfeited it, you could continuously receive Afrien’s Essence. Fixed an issue in the Cross World Party Quest First Accompaniment <Last Gateway> where if there was one party member and the character died, an additional King Slime would be created. Fixed an issue in Reboot World where if you completed the ‘Who Am I’ quest, you would receive a 100% Gloves Attack Scroll. Fixed an issue in Reboot World where if you completed the ‘Scheherazade’s Third Problem’ quest, you would receive a 100% Overall STR Scroll. Maps Fixed an issue in the Hidden Street – King’s Hideout where if the character moved to the left wall, the pet would jump without picking up items. Fixed an issue in Fairy Forest Elluel where the mountain image in the background was cut off. In Victoria Island’s world map, Kerning City has been changed to show the Transfer Zone area. Fixed an issue in the middle of the ocean in Riena Strait and Road of Vanishing’s Flame Zone cliffs where pets and androids were visible. Fixed an issue in Queens Road Small Bridge where you could not reset Ability in specific locations. Fixed an issue in the Tyrant’s Citadel 3F Office where the box in the background was hidden behind pillars and was outputted awkwardly. Fixed an issue in Ludibrium Castle Sky Terrace <5> where the placed card objects were outputted awkwardly. Fixed an issue in Twisted Temple of Time 2 where the background’s moon location was misaligned. Fixed an issue in Knight’s Fortress Hall of Honour where the Ereb BGM was played. Fixed an issue where if you stood on the bridge in the middle of Lacheln, the character’s name and medal image would be cut off. Fixed an issue in Cernium Square where there was an invisible platform below the NPCs Dragon Hunter Account and Lieutenant Poncho. Fixed an issue in Cernium Near the Lef Army Garrison where the terrain was misaligned. Fixed an issue in Burning Cernium East Castle Walls where the ladders were misaligned. Fixed an issue in Monster Park Knight’s Fortress Stage 1: Fortress Entrance where tree in the background was misaligned. Fixed an issue in Monster Park Road of Vanishing Stage 1 where the lower background image would be cut off if the character moved to the top of the map. Fixed an issue where the character could leave the screen if they used the skill Cannon Jump in certain maps. Kerning City Subway Track Kerning City Subway Transfer Zone Kerning City Subway Line 1 Section 1 Kerning City Subway Line 1 Section 2 Kerning City Subway Line 1 Section 3 Kerning City Subway Line 2 Section 1 Kerning City Subway Line 2 Section 2 Kerning City Subway Line 2 Section 3 Lion King’s Castle First Tower Lion King’s Castle Third Tower Lion King’s Castle Fifth Tower Items Fixed an issue with certain item images. When you clear a boss and it drops equipment with Rare or higher potential, the size of the aura effect has been fixed. Fixed an issue where certain profession crafting recipes’ item names were awkward. When enhancing equipment, the maximum amount of speed and jump has been increased to 100. Developer Notes: The maximum amount of speed and jump that an equipment could have was based on the low 40/23 set in the past. After that number was exceeded when enhancing items then the number of enhancements were reset, an error would occur where the speed and jump would be applied as negative numbers. We will correct this error by increasing the maximum limit of speed and jump to 100. Fixed an issue where personality traitf experience acquired from personality trait items was included in the daily limit. Android item descriptions have been unified to display the same information about the ‘Go to Store button in the Android equipment window’. Fixed an issue in Reboot World where if Xenons used the Arcane Shade Weapon Box, the choice for scrolls would be outputted.
