A small test server patch was released last night for the stuff we’ll be getting next week, which includes changes to getting guild skill points and the return of the Toben Hair Hero event who is now aiming for the Dark Boss set! You can even get the new Fantasy Item Damage Skin, since Dark Boss drops are a fantasy. Unfortunately, it doesn’t contain any information about the winter update, which confirms that the first patch will be on December 30 (for the official server). This means that the next KMST update we can look forward to should be around either December 16 if they have stuff that needs two weeks of testing or December 23 if it’s going to be a smaller patch. Overview Events Special Lessions with the Toben Hair Hero Improvements Guilds Skills Monsters Quests Items Maps Story Achievements The Seed Etc. Test World Error Fixes Skills Monsters Quests Items Maps UI Etc. Improvements Guilds The Noblesse skill points given out as Flag Race rewards have been changed. Each guild member’s Flag Race weekly Flag Race score will now be added up and Noblesse skill points will be given out according to the guild’s total score. The Noblesse skill points given out as Sharenian’s Underground Culvert rewards have been changed. ※ In the test world, the changes will be reflected after the settlement on December 6 at 12:00 AM. ※ In the official server, the changes will be reflected after the settlement on December 13 at 12:00 AM. Developer Notes: After the reorganization in June, the competition in Flag Race between guilds was overheated and players in guilds became overly fatigued. Therefore, a large part of the Noblesse SP given from Flag Race has been transferred to Sharenian’s Underground Culvert, and the Noblesse SP given from Flag Race has been changed to be based on flat requirements. In addition, for Sharenian’s Underground Culvert, the upper section has been subdivided further, and the points have been redistributed in general to lower the difficulty of acquiring Noblesse SP overall and to alleviate the competition between guilds. Going forward, we will continue to monitor guild content, and if we determine that additional measures are necessary, we will make corrections. Improved an issue where the Flag Race start time guide was sometimes not provided. Skills Improved an issue with the following skills where in Dusk, they would only move you to the lowest platform. Eviscerate Boost End – Hunter’s Targeting Demon Jump has been improved so that you can use skills after Demon Jump or use Demon Jump after using certain skills more smoothly. Fixed an issue with Battle Mage’s Death where it would be deactivated when entering maps that restricted certain movement skills even if you could still use attacking skills. Cadena’s A.D Ordnance‘s duration has been increased, and it has been changed so that it instantly fires even if it reaches the maximum number of hits while charging energy. Developer Notes: There was an issue where A.D Ordnance would sometimes disappear without firing the last attack, the energy orb. To improve this, the duration has been increased and the orb has been changed to fire instantly when the charging attacks more than a certain number of times. Monsters In Suu (Scenario/Normal/Hard) phase 1, it has been improved so that if you defeat the Black Heaven Core, the remaining lasers will no longer deal damage. In Black Mage, it has been improved so that if you are dead while changing phases, dead characters will be moved after reviving instead of being forcibly moved. Quests The following details have been changed in the Kritias weekly quests. The ‘Frozen Energy Collection’ quest name has changed to ‘Freezing Energy Collection’ and the required items have been changed to ‘Freezing Energy’. The ‘Forest Road That Isn’t Frozen Yet’ quest’s required items have been changed to ‘Frozen Weapon’s Energy’. The ‘Burning Energy Collection’ quest name has changed to ‘Burned Energy Collection’ and the required items have been changed to ‘Burned Energy’. The ‘Burning Weapon and Energy Collection’ quest’s required items have been changed to ‘Burning Weapon’s Energy’. Items The notification text that appears when you don’t meet the conditions for using a Luna Crystal have been changed as follows. ‘To use a Luna Crystal, you need 2 or more Wonder Black and Luna Sweet rank pets that have not been equipped.’ Magnificent Soul items’ tooltips have been updated to include ‘Additional potential stats are set with the same rates’. Soul items’ tooltips have been changed to display the success rate only once. The names of the Yggdrasil’s Blessing items that can be used on level 120 or higher equipment havae been changed. Advanced STR Yggdrasil Blessing Advanced INT Yggdrasail Blessing Advanced DEX Yggdrasil Blessing Advanced LUK Yggdrasil Blessing The Spirit Pendant and Special Spirit Pendant’s descriptions have been changed to be clearer. For equipment items that cannot have or reset potential, the bottom text has been changed to ‘Potential setting not allowed’. For equipment items that cannot have or reset additional potential, the bottom text has been changed to ‘Additional potential setting not allowed’. The following Soul Shards have been added as possible rewards from the Soul Disassembler. Papulatus’ Soul Shard Will’s Soul Shard Jin Hilla’s Soul Shard Dunkel’s Soul Shard Lucid’s Soul Shard Demian’s Soul Shard The rates for the types of Soul Shards that can be acquired through the Soul Disassembler are as follows. Papulatus (5.0%) Will (0.6%) Jin Hilla (0.1%) Dunkel (0.1%) Lucid (0.4%) Demian (0.4%) Suu (2.0%) Cygnus (5.0%) Magnus (5.0%) Murmur (1.4%) Pink Bean (5.0%) Von Bon (5.0%) Pierre (5.0%) Bloody Queen (5.0%) Vellum (5.0%) Arkarium (5.0%) Mokadin (5.0%) Karianne (5.0%) July (5.0%) CQ57 (5.0%) Plaid (5.0%) Von Leon (5.0%) Zakum (5.0%) Balrog (5.0%) Ursus (5.0%) The rates for the amount of Soul Shards that can be acquired through the Soul Disassembler are as follows. 1 (5%) 2 (10%) 3 (15%) 4 (15%) 5 (15%) 6 (15%) 7 (10%) 8 (5%) 9 (5%) 10 (5%) The types of buffs received through the Giant Pet skill have been changed. The HP potion recovery rate +15%, MP potion recovery rate +15%, DEX +8, all stats +5, and attack/magic attack +5 buffs have been removed. The speed +15 and jump +15 buffs have been combined into one. A max HP/MP +500 buff has been added. The new types of buffs and their rates are as follows. Max HP/MP +500 (20%) Speed +15, Jump +15 (20%) Defense +150 (20%) All stats +10 (20%) Attack/magic attack +10 (20%) Developer Notes: Before July 2016, you could get accuracy +15, avoid +150, and magic defense +150 buffs from the Giant Pet skill. In the V Update, magic defense was removed, weapon defense was changed to defense, and the accuracy/avoid logic was reorganized so the Giant Pet buffs were changed from accuracy/avoid to DEX +8, and from magic defense to +150 defense. We thought the usage experience needed to be improved, given that there were multiple possible options with the same stats, that only DEX was provided among STR/INT/DEX/LUK stats which was not suitable for an item that should have been able to be used by various jobs, and that there were too many types of buffs that could be received. Accordingly, the buff rate range has been narrowed by removing useless buffs and by changing the all stats/attack/magic attack buffs that had multiple options with different values to keep only the ones with the highest values. In addition, all buff rates have been changed to be the same. Maps In Mu Lung Dojo 1F~80F, you can no longer create parties or invite to parties. In Monster Park, you can no longer create parties or invite to parties. Story In Lara, Adele, Ark, and Illium’s tutorial quests, Kaiser and Angelic Buster illustrations have been added. Achievements The [Level Up] achievements have been changed so they are no longer displayed in the Pending Achievements section. Developer Notes: There was an issue where level up achievements become harder to achieve as your level increases so they would often be fixed at the top of the Pending Achievements section. We decided that this didn’t match the purpose of the Pending Achievements section, which is supposed to show achievements that can be completed soon, so level up achievements have been changed so they are no longer displayed there. The ‘Cooking is About Speed!’ achievement’s description has been changed, and the point at which the achievement is acquired after clearing it has been changed. The Seed In the Seed 24F, it has been changed so that after you enter the town you think is the answer, you can now check your answer once more. In the Seed 49F, the Axe Stump type monsters’ silhouettes will no longer appear. Etc. The experience and drop rate reduction details have been slightly changed. The experience and drop rate reduction details from Elite Boss’ curses have been changed to be the same as the character death penalty. When an Elite Boss’ curse is applied, the reduced experience rate will be displayed as %. When a character dies, if the death penalty and an Elite Boss’ curse are both active, only the one with the higher value will be applied. If you try to party invite a user that is playing content that does not allow party play, a message that states they cannot be invited to a party will be displayed. Mu Lung Dojo The Seed Monster Park You can no longer use the Cash Shop, Maple Auction, change channels, or Monster Life while crafting with professions.
