kMS ver. 1.2.148 – The Beginning of the Counterattack!
The first patch of the Justice update has been released! The Beginning of the Counterattack is now available! This enormous patch includes a ton of thief and pirate changes, Legend class nerfs, minor Adventurer changes, the Christmas event, a Neo City reorganization, and many new core systems!
Read past the cut for more information! There’s even a new entry in Inkwell’s Secret Diary! The skill changes are at the end because there’s a lot of them~
* updated at 5:30 pm, December 15 *
Before I get to the new stuff in-game, I’ll talk about the new Inkwell’s Secret Diary entry!
What is the identity of this mysterious woman?!
I think that it’s quite possible that this woman is related to Phantom or the new city Aswan. Don’t you think she looks a little like the silhouette of Hila?
Thieves and pirates made before the patch are able to receive one free SP Reset from the Maple Admin upon logging in! The SP resets last for 3 days.
Pirates can receive their own mounts now, after the fourth job advancement by completing a quiz for Samuel. Vipers receive Super Transform and Captains receive Battleship! You cannot use skills or attack on these mounts. They have 170% speed and 120% jump.
You can trade in your old mastery books or skill books to Maple Admin in exchange for mastery books for the new skills that they have received~
There is a new world called Justice! You can get the Justice Bandana (18 all stats, 180 defense and magic defense, 25 accuracy and avoid, 10 Craft, 10 slots) at level 70 and the Frontier Earrings (4 all stats, 100 MP and defense, 5 slots) at level 100. They also receive 2x experience daily from the 15th to the 23rd!
The bosses Zakum, Horntail, and Van Leon have become instanced dungeons! That means that you won’t have to wait to get a channel, and an unlimited amount of parties can enter in one channel!
The new Navigation System has been added! It can be used in two ways. The first is through the Quest window! You can press the Get Directions button to be shown how to go to the NPC in question.
You can also open the World Map, press the Register Directions button, and press a dot on the map. It will leave an icon and then you will be led to that map!
No matter which way you choose, this is how the Navigation system looks. The red arrow will point you towards your destination!
Super Fight is now closed temporarily. You can trade in any existing BP with Maximus, but Battle Square is now closed. All items sold by Larson are now sold by Inkwell, and Proofs now drop from monster level 50 and over. Incoming Super Fight revamp I suppose!
Neo City has been reorganized! The maps and monsters have been changed around, and the area is now tailored towards those level 125 and over!
As you can see, Nex has been moved from the tree! He now spawns in every map at a small chance, and you’ll know why in a little bit!
If you finish the quest line, you’ll receive Andy’s Mastery Book, which can give you a level 30 mastery book for your class (except for Maple Warrior). You’ll also get the Time Travelling Character medal, which gives 6 to all stats, 400 HP and MP, 1 attack and magic attack, 50 defense and magic defense, and 200 accuracy and avoid.
You’ll also receive the Time Traveller’s Laurel, which gives 10 to all stats, 200 HP and MP, 200 defense and magic defense, 400 accuracy, 100 avoid, with 7 slots. It comes unidentified and also is Epic on reveal!
You can also collect Time Sand from Nex to trade in for scrolls with Andy. 10 gives you a Time Traveller’s Laurel Only Scroll which adds 1 attack and magic attack at a 100% rate to the Time Traveller’s Laurel (you can get a maximum of 1 per character). You can also trade in 30 Sands for a Chaos Scroll (you can get a maximum of 3 per character) and 100 Sands for a Miraculous Chaos Scroll (you can get a maximum of 1 per character).
The Justice Shop is now open! You can collect Justice Coins to trade in for prizes. This is very, very, very similar to the Legend Shop during the Legend festival. When you log on you get one Justice Coin for free from Cassandra! You can also get more from the Merry Christmas in Maple event, as well as the Level Up Mission, that gives you coins when you level up.
It will be open until February 29!
David is the NPC that runs the Justice Shop! You can trade in the coins you earn for many different prizes, including equipment, recipes, and scrolls! A lot of the items that are sold in the shop at David are the same as the items sold during the Legend Festival!
The first items in the shop are the <Justice> weapons! There are Justice versions of the level 80, 90, 100, 110, and 120 weapons! However, the level 120 weapons are copies of the Maple Weapons from the last anniversary, rather than Reverse or Timeless weapons. All the weapons come unidentified!
Here is a picture of the <Justice> Maple weapons! I’ll assume that its easy enough to see which weapon is which, but for reference, 공격력 is weapon attack and 마력 is magic attack! If you have any questions, please ask~ The Maple weapons cost 85 coins.
Most of these items should look very familiar, they’re items that you could have gotten through events over the year of 2011! They’ve returned, most with better stats, plus they’re all permanent this time!

The other kind is the Mystery Special Mastery Book for 55 coins, which when used allows you to choose 1 Special Mastery Book to have! A Special Mastery Book takes your skill’s master level all the way from 10 to 30, with a 100% chance of succeeding! You can only get one of these per character though.
Recipes are also available! Reverse weapons, potions and elixirs, and accessory and Android recipes are yours for the taking!
Like during the Sports Meet event, you can also buy the Pink Coin Purse, which holds all ‘collect to trade in’ items! It has 8 slots, so that’s a lot of etc slots saved!
On December 17, the Justice Hot Time event will take place! If you’re logged in at 2:30pm, you’ll receive the Justice Luck Box!
You’ll receive a full AP Reset, 20 Justice Coins, a Mysterious Love Letter, a Justice Item Lock Voucher, personality trait potions, and the Counterattack’s Goggles hat at a 100% chance! You can also get a level 125 Fearless weapon or even a Cash item if you’re lucky!
You can take the voucher to the Maple Admin to receive a free 90 day Item Lock!
Now, there’s two versions of the Counterattack’s Goggles, one gives extra bonuses to thieves and the other to pirates (they have the same stats though). They give 10 to all stats, 100 HP and MP, 100 defense and magic defense, with 10 slots. It can be traded through storage once with the Share Name Tag.
Now with the thief hat, if your job is Hermit, Night Lord, Chief Bandit, Shadower, Slasher, or Dual Blader, you’ll receive an extra 5 to all stats, 5 attack, and 100 accuracy. The same bonuses apply with the pirate hat if you are a Buccaneer, Viper, Valkyrie, Captain, Cannon Blaster, or Cannon Master.
You only get one, and it depends on your job. If you’re a thief or Dual Blader, you’ll receive the thief hat. Likewise, if you’re a pirate or Cannon Shooter, you’ll receive the pirate hat. Otherwise, the hat you receive will be chosen at random!
On December 17, there will a 2x experience event as well! It starts from 1pm and ends at 3pm.
Also, when you log on, Cassandra will have a message for you, from none other than the Mysterious Thief Phantom himself!

how exactly do you do the quest for the pirate mounts ?
It’s just a small quiz, 4 questions I think 😛
thanks 😀
if you miss the question? what it does? you need bject for?
If you get a question wrong you can just try again
i want this in global for my shadow
DS got owned
what r u talking about??? attacks twice and more mobs how is that owned?
Their drain skill took a big hit. They can’t heal one minute after absorption.
hes talking about Demon slayer dude, not double stab
hes talking about Dragon Strike dude, not double stab
LOL
lol tru dat..
DEMON SLAYER OR DRAGON STRIKE LOL
do girls transforms into male spirit when they uses the mount skill?
Lol yup
Um, I think it’s the male one only for both genders :S
Nexon America is either going to make two of them or keep it the same.
oh really? you think?
Is there still a daily limit on how many times you can enter zakum’s map?
Yes, I think so.
max,in the justice video the bomberang step was actually black but the skill animation on this post was white! Can you get me the black version please?thanks!
max,ur critical rage gt written wrong??
i thought extra 20% on boss???
Ah, my bad~
Fixed ^^
When you’re fighting a boss is it 15% plus 20% or just 20% when fighting a boss?
15 + 20 I think.
wow
now to wait 14 more days till phanom
nice post max
u da pro
Max do we get free equipment upto 70?
Ah forgot to put that, but yes you do ^^
They still nerfed the Legends sad 😦
they said they wouldn’t nerf them…but i guess they had to…well at least i can make my DS in peace after this update.
DEMON SLAYERS MUST DIE!!! PEOPLE SEE A FREAKING DEVIL WITH WINGS AND SAY “OOOH SHINY, I WANT THAT!” DOWN WITH DEMON SLAYERS, STOP THE MADNESS!!! COME ON, WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO SAIRS, MARKSMAN, OR PALADINS?!?! COME ON, DON’T GO ALL MAINSTREAM, JUST SAY NO!!!
Bishop for life 🙂
tru dat
You’re a complete and utter faggot.
FUCK OFF HATER!
The Demon Slayer nerfs are actually in KMS now…
Now we wait for 6 months for a revamp that’ll make us OP again.
Yeah the supreme nerfs were really un-called for. The only thing that made Nexon jump out of their seats was the wtf omg so powerful damage with the obviously word SPAMMABLE AOE. Which can be fixed by removing infinity force.
Hey max, id like to know what happens to our mastery that is in skills past mastry books. You said you turn in old books for new ones but do you have any idea which skills transfer over to which skills after they are deleted??
I don’t know personally, but you can go on Southperry and see which skills were just changed (as in renamed and stuff) and which are completely new, the changed ones will probably have their master levels carried over. It’s possible that Nexon carried over the deleted skill masteries to the new skills, but I don’t have a fourth job thief or pirate so I can’t say D:
As I know, you get a new skill book by exchanging it for an old skill book that doesnt has use.
If you had already used the old skill book, then you will miss.
Like TT for example, if you use it now, you will not get QT, if you save the book you will be able to trade it.
hi max u mentioned trading old mastery books or skillbooks for the new mastery books…would like to know hw it works. Is it you get to choose wad new mastery book you want while trading any old mastery book or skillbook?
hi max u mentioned that u can trade old mastery book or skill book for new mastery book…would like to know how it works. Is it that you are able to use any old mastery book or skill book and trade to the new mastery book of ur choice? and is it a one time thing or there’s no limit to the number of trades?
Look at the Demon Slayer picture above. You can see that he’s sad.
I just tried my DS and it sucked like hell, vampiric touch is so troll now
Winner
Hehe. I wonder how the other 2 can still smile. They might be mentally unsound already.
the other two were nerfed only 1/3 as bad as DS. but cannon shooters were balanced to begin with…so im not so sure about CS.
My unfunded friend’s CS did way more damage than my char at the same level. Not to mention the CS had better mobility, attack speed and range.
….everyone always says this…but CS are slow as fuuuuckk, so that’s another huge factor…not to mention they shoot frickin cannons….ummm hello??…they’re a tank class, they’re supposed to deal bigger dmg. Balancing classes doesn’t mean you make it so everyone does the same thing, what’s the point in that? Different classes have different pros and cons, a pro of CS was that he did more dmg….now they ruined that. Tell me, what’s the point of using a tank class that is slow as hell and doesn’t do dmg any better than the faster classes? exactly.
YAY MERCEDES NERFS ❤
Can strikers get the super transform mount? :O
They’re an explorer so probably not.
Don’t think so~
If I could change anything in maplestory,I would stop nerfing the balanced classes and make maple a little bit easier.When a major update happens,I’ll nerf everyone and every monster will be strong again.
The balanced ones aren’t nerfed. The OP ones are nerfed. And they need to make the new job outstanding so people will play it.
That’s Nexons strategy to make more money. Make a job, lots of people play it, people overspend NX. Nerf it the next day, they’re useless. Release another powerful job that reqires a different stat, more people play them people buy NX, Nexon nerfs them the next day. Repeat.
so shield mastery(bandit) doesn’t have the 20% avoid rate?
Oh fail, I put the evasion rate in the 4th job section and the Shield Mastery info in the third job section. Fixed!

why does everybody ignore the alphabetical order of release

Q-Z first letter?
I think Sir-Knows-Alot is onto a pattern that is probably less likely to be due to coincidence.
Regarding Neo City, do you still need a party to enter?
looks like i’m talking to myself but. sir-know-alot is taking what alot of people have already pointed out even on this site. i’m just providing an alternative idea. maybe the maple thing is a misdirect maybe alphabetical is a misdirect not like it matters just saying that it works
No, they got rid of the need for a Party to enter a long time ago.
Nope 😀
But wasn’t

mentioned in Inkwell’s Diary so I think we should ignore the alphabetical order of release

Man… this is just…. i dun know what to say…. but one thing’s for sure… Legends got nerf quite badly while pirates and thieves are…. not that good either… and what the heck for Marksman Piercing? decreased damage and more attacks? more like FFFFFUUUU face…
i can see a lot of nerfing in this release… but they will soon change it again… (i hope)
Thanks for the great insight Max, =)
The marksman piercing was actually an improvement. Before it was just hardcore 1500% damage, now its 520% 3 times. 520 x 3 = 1560% damage. Improvement.
Pirates also got quite the improvement, Buccaneers are almost powerful enough to take on a dual blade on certain bosses with high PDR, ect.
Corsairs, though they’re basicly an all round mix of archers, are really powerful.
erm,,, are you playing KMS? if you tested out all the skills then i have nothing to say. =X anyway… i hope you’re right on marksman piercing…
If I wanted to play a marksman clone, I’d play a marksman. Not a corsair.
The part that’s worrisome to all the marksmen out there today is the fact that the 1.2x damage increase per monster may not be there. Thus, people will seriously have to quit their marksmen to go and play the clone.
Useless. Fking. Nerf.
Nothing new for thieves?
their damage was increased by a lot cuz Shadower partner does 70% of our damage now
No changes for Phantom?
It’s the real server, Phantom won’t be released until the 29th 😮
Zomg return of the spam bots.
Do thieves and pirates get SP resets? 😀
Yup~
The Legend classes are now ruined forever.
Max, some of the moves for gunslingers seem slow. Like the head shot,double barrel gun thing and fusillade. Has our dps/dpm increase or decrease?
You can see DPS calculations here, I’m not that technical xD
Hmm, about infinite bullet and spirit javelin:
could you use a weaker star/bullet to activate the buff, then switch back to the stronger one?
I’m pretty sure Spirit Javelin gives you an infinite number of stars with the WA value of the consumed stars. The same probably applies to Infinite Bullets.
Cannon shooter still got nerfed. I thought they will buff it together with the Pirates just like Dual Blade 😦
Can you still get the mounts for pirates if your 3rd job or less? or is it just 4th job?
You need to be 4th job to get the quest
OMG its the first time u replied to me -tears of joy- Thank you! i feel so special 🙂
geezes! DS got the blunt end of the nerfing hammer. But then again, I wouldnt blame nexon. I played them on tespia, unfunded, and god-jesus heck! they are STRONG! i mean, i can LITERALLY solo monster parks stages that are 5-10 levels. yes, a lot of people can do that, but chances are, they are funded.
I was NOT funded at all, and most monster park takes 12 min to complete only for demon slayers. some of them takes less than 3 min! i think it was at lvl 40 at that kerning mall place.
demon slayers, i think personally, is the strongest out of the three class pre-nerf. yes, i saw that 30 sec mercedes clip, but im sure, giving the same gears to ds, he probably will be able to do the same amount of damage as well.
hey max do u know how mcuh specific mmb can i get from those Neo Tokyo quests ?
btw its Quailly from EF guild 😛
Just 1 I think, like LHC.
hey max when do u think phantom will come 4 gms? im totally stoked for it. im making him my main
Wait, do female Buccaneers get the same mount as well? @_@
i think they get the female version of mount.. like the current buccaneers..
Nope, there’s only a male version.
Sadly yes 😛
aww, that is just sad… i kinda like the female version of the buccaneer because it looked more pirate to me and for the male version looked more like Super Saiyan instead of pirate,,,
Hey max, can existing characters which are above lv70 get the union ring too?
nope.
Are you sure Mercedes’s Advanced Final Attack
is second arrow does 70% damage
not second arrow plus 70% damage?
Hey max is any kind of donation I can make? I love reading your blog and would love to help somehow
You sound awesome, but I don’t really want to make money off my blogging xD
If you really want to give money, you should donate it to EllinForest!
LOL I ❤ this revamp on my TB i rape with enrage and blast.Going for UA nl.Oh hi max
CKDjman I buddied you~
The funny thing is that GMS is most likely having Hot Time on the same Saturday as KMS (Elven Tiara FTW!)
screw u nexon!!!!!!!!!!!!! Y U HAVE TO NERF DEMON SLAYERS SOOO BAD!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Omg no more battle ship =(
Max I have some questions, if you have some time could you answer?
1- When you steal a skill it will be in the max level or do you need to use yours SP to max it?
2- What are Phantom’s cons?
3- Are they an expensive class?
4- Do you need to buy others weapons to use a stolen skill (example buy dagger to use double stab)?
5- Are they a class of bossing or mobbing?
6- They have good party buffs?
7- Is possible to steal a skill in the Free Market?
8- I am definitely stealing priest skills (HS, Mystic Door and another that I don’t know right now), but what would be great first, second and fourth job skills to steal (considering you can steall four skills for first job, four skills for second job and two skills for fourth job)?
9- I am curious to know when you get out of Crystal Garden in what map you will be?
10- How is possible to get that car mount exclusively of Phantom?
11- If I steal (example) thief skills in first job, in my nexts job am I allowed to steal others explorers skills?
1. I explained it in my last post about Phantom, but it depends on both the skill level of the person you stole it from and the level of your Talent of Phantom Thief skill. Whichever is lower will be the level of the skill you stole.
2. Um, they’re sort of squishy I guess. That’s all I can think of right now xD
3. They’re not even out in the real server, but it depends on if % luk gear in your server is expensive or not.
4. Nope, your Cane will turn into whatever weapon you need.
5. They’re the jack of all trades! It all depends on which skills you steal~
6. They can steal any party buff, but they don’t have any of their own.
7. Nope, you can’t use the Steal Skill in FM, but you can use it in the FM rooms.
8. First job would be Haste, second I guess HB or something, fourth job Sharp Eyes or Advanced Bless?
9. I think whatever map you came from. I haven’t seen if there’s a way to enter Crystal Garden without the Return of Phantom skill.
10. It’s not possible to get it right now in Tespia I think.
11. You can steal any Adventurer’s skills at any point in time.
Thanks max, helped alot! Now the problem I think will be that everybody will be playing Phantom and won’t have any adventurers to steal skills. xD
Phantom con: they cannot steal passives, which are technically the boss
Emm Max, quick question about Shadower Instinct and killing point. ..
1) Shadower Instinct gives 20 attack itself .. with 5 killing points, it’ll give another 30 attack. So, does that means Shadower Instinct gives out a total of 50 attack at its full potential? Which means Karma + Shadower Instinct = Total 80 attack? That would be CRAZY AWESOME. Or is it only gives 6 attack depending on how many killing points are earned?
2) Do killing point slots only appear on head when you cast Shadower Instinct? Lastly, are the killing points only for Assassinate and the extra attack buff ? Does it increase damage for other skills if you let the killing points just hover or float whatever on top of your head?
1. I don’t really know, sorry :S I didn’t make a shadower in Tespia! You should try asking Spadow.
2. I’m pretty sure they’re only when Shadower Instinct is active, and I don’t know of any other skills that use Killing Points :S
this even made me more curious lol .. ok THx Max !
Can you tell us what mastery books turned to what for Buccaneers/Corsairs?
Mastery books didn’t change, you can exchange them for a random one with Maple Admin 😛
Which Phantom’s skills need skill books?
Having experienced the true power of this on my Thunder Breaker —-> “Energy Blast: With the transformed spirit, energy is shot towards enemies and hits up to 10 monsters for 550% damage 4 times, 100% chance to increase energy by 100, can only be used when energy has been gathered”
All I have to say is that Vipers are top tier for damage…this skill is so overpowered and truly devastating….2,000% dmg and it’s as fast as Cannon Masters’ Cannon Bazooka…
That’s Nexon for you…Balanced classes right.
Hey Max, When do you think we’ll see Aswan in Tespia?
Awesome entry as always, please never stop :D!
I think next week, around the time Phantom is released!
Hello Max, do you have any idea if the cane that Phantom uses, is an one-handed or two-handed weapon? Thanks in advance.
It’s one handed I believe!
Hey Max… Is Chaos Versions of Zakum and Horntail dungeon instant?
No I don’t think so, the website only mentions the Normal versions of the bosses being instanced.
Max have you done all of the Neo Tokyo quests on KMS ? if you did can you help me with killing Aufheben ( black) ? she is killing me XD i just couldnt find you online last time 🙂
Yup, I have the medal already! 🙂
I can help you! Just whisper me if you see me on~
do you know which skill battleship torpedo was changed to?
it was deleted
u can trade in thats skill’s mastery book in at mapleadmin i believe
for any book? o.o
I noticed you said Self-Haste for DB was moved but I don’t see where it was moved to. Info plz?
Also, Nerfed DemonSlayer is sad now… =(
How do skill book changes work, say if I have Triple throw maxed currently now pre-patch. Does it renew my skill books? Or give me automatic max skill points availability on the new corresponding skill? Or what?
“In town, you’ll see Christmas-related characters such as Rudolph or Snowmen! If you click on them when the icon is shown, they’ll give you a Rudolph’s Shiny Box, which you can open for prizes! You can only open 10 of these boxes per day.”
You can open 20 boxes daily 😛
What are the stats of the 120 dual crossbow and do they come epic on reveal like the 110 weapons in the legend shop? thanks
the pirate’s mount nid mesos or is free????
It’s free I think.
yes, it’s free. You do a short quiz for it 😛
Why am I more excited about a possible pvp revamp than I am about the whole Justice patch? Lol
hmm i’m curious why does viper still need 2 mobbing skills after revamp.
is there some kind of trick to it?
Umm Max for dual blades karma is it suppose to be 20atk or 30atk like shadowers?
(and tbh i think nexon is messing with my dual blade in this revamp f3)
It is supposed to be 30, my bad xD
Fixed~
Lol yay thank you!
Eh…btw you accidentally put 330atk for dual blade karma when you were trying to fix :0
Gaaah, fixed ^^
Lol silly mistakes :3 and srry to bother again. I was just wondering if karma stacks with thorns :0 ?
I don’t know about stacking, you could maybe ask Southperry for that, they’re good at all the technical stuff xD
Ds nerf ❤
Any clue when this will be release in GMS?
Any clue when the will be release in GMS?
By “proofs” you mean Gallant emblems, right? If so, how often do they drop?
I’ve only gotten 2 so far, granted I never ever grind xD
I think they’re not too rare, maybe 1 per half hour? It all depends on your luck though.
do these maple weapons have normal speed of the item, or boosted speed like previous maple weapons?
can the auto to mastery lv 30 100% skillbook be used for maple warrior?
Nope
Question about the “instance dungeon” for zakum. You still need to do the JQ before fighting it or just direct go to its map?
The jump quest is part of the prequests, you still have to do those at least once if you wanna be able to fight Zakum.
hi max. i read from another blog that quad throw does 286% damage but yours says 293%
and for dark serenity boasts 35 att but yours says 40. i have to say i like yours better 😀 but which is the correct answer?
For those who asks and wonders, Phantom will probably be released in 3-6 months in GMS. If they decide to put another unnecessary patch sometime, it’s Phantom will arrive the 6th.
Oh by the way, question about the skills.
If you have used the mastery books already, will the new skills keep the mastery of the old skills? (For example, battleship cannon is 30, does that mean the skill that replaces battleship cannon will be 30 too?)
I have no idea, you’d have to find someone that had the 4th job class before and after the patch :S
Sorry D:
If you have used your book, then you don’t get new books.
If you save the book, you can trade them for any new book with Maple Admin.
Hahaha Cannon shooters got nerfed…. but literally 1000% for monkey wave…… what are they thinking!!!
If I bought the mastery books for triple throw and I’ve had it maxed for a while, will my quadthrow be maxed ?? ????????????????????
If you used TT books, no, you will need new books.
If you have the books, save them and you will be able to trade them.
Hey Max, so all of the revamped classes are getting new skills and skills replaced/deleted. Any idea on which FOURTH JOB (they’re pretty much the only ones that matter because of Mastery Books) skills get turned into what?
Do you need to reach level 70 on a thief or pirate to get the union ring or can u be over 70 before and get the ring? I’m confused
You need to start from a new character and get to level 70.
is the union ring tradable within the account?
Nope~
thanks to all the people who bitched moaned and complained about these classes. i really feel bad for the demon slayers. i myself play wild hunter but seriously nerfing them that fucking bad just because you suck at playing your own character? just wow. yeah their a little strong but now YOU are going to be the over powered piece of shit.
I love all these new changes, but I demand nerfing corsairs in a near future. Seriously they are a combination of a BM and MM but with all the best parts. The total 1vs1 dmg with rapid fire and hurricane are basically the same (higher if lucky with the dice/summons lower if unlucky) and they have that stupid OP mob attack that does over 2000% to 6 mobs? wtf. And a snipe attack to end. They will get nerfed. They have to.
Other classes are nice IMO
although we don’t have the battleship, corsairs are gonna be soooooo much better.
Agreed! 🙂
Wait, only ua buccs can use Fist Enrage & vipersition ??
All vipers can, where did you get that idea? o_o
Isnt a viper considered a ua bucc tho, not a regular bucc.
Viper is the kMS name for Buccaneer 😮
lolwtf Demon Slayer
Dit modification looks pretty sweet, not too sure about the brawlers tho.
is vampiric touch leech aura?
Yep
Hey Max. Great job with your blogging. Keep it up!
I’ve been reading through the comments looking for the answer to this question or at least somewhere where I could have it answered but…
If I haven’t used my triple throw book, does that mean I can trade it in for a quadruple throw book when it comes out?
and if not, if I use the TT book, does it change into QT after the update or do I need another skill book to learn QT? Trying to decide on whether I should a TT book or not now.
Thanks 🙂
Um, mastery books that are not used after the patch (i.e. the skill is removed) will not be changed, but you can trade them in to Cassandra for a NEW mastery book of your choice. So you can trade in like… Triple Throw 30 for Purge Area 20 or whatever, but you can’t get a Shadow Shifter book for example.
Wait, it isn’t one for one (like TT 20/30 for QT 20/30 exactly)? So you could trade in a cheap book like Ninja Ambush 20/30 or Ninja Storm 20/30 to Cassandra for sought after books like QT 20/30, Star Expert 20/30, Dark Serenity 20/30?
I notice you can’t edit comments on blogs, but didn’t you mention the Maple Admin exchanging old mastery books for the new mastery books and NOT Cassandra? I just want to clarify.
Oh yeah its Maple Admin, not Cassandra, but not like it really matters 😛
Yes, you can trade in any cheap deleted skill mastery book for any new mastery book of your choice.
One last thing, if you don’t mind me asking, Max. Are the new mastery books tradeable or untradeable?
Tradeable 🙂
does that apply to all classes or just the revamped ones???
Hey Guys, ill be happy if someone tells me if i need a Skill Book for NightLord
i Mean For Quad Throw Please Answer its importent!!
Apparently not. A KMS Nightlord on youtube said you automatically get it.
Please Answer Me As Fast As Possible, i want to know if i should keep with my NL level 164 cus i still dont have TT 30 iam still using Lucky Seven..
Yay cannon shooter, mercedes, and demon slayer nerfs 😀
umm max…soo there is no event for newly made characters?
i mean like if i made a striker during the counter attack do we (newly made characters) get any quest?
Hey anonymous Are u Sure i dont need QT Cus if then
ill be the godliest NL in GMS.
But i Really Whould Like to Know When is The Justice Update Coming to GMS
Iam so Excited i Really want it
Since iam 200 NL ill be godly with 150+% luk
So, say if i have a bunch of Barrage 20 and 30 mastery books for vipers, i can exchange all of them for another mastery book of the new skill?
Yep.
Another quick question, For vipers the skill Counter Attack, is it similiar to cannon shooters counter attack? and is there a mastery level for it or is a free skill?
Thanks!
Yes it is, and no mastery book since it’s max level 10. In GMS I believe it’s called Pirate’s Revenge.
Max
Please Tell me if i need QT Skill Book 10
20 or 30
and if i do,do i get “10” from Zak or a Boss?
Max Please Answer Me i Need ur Help..!
i need to know if i need Skill book for QT 10/20/30
and if i do,where do i get them?
Thanks hope u answer soon!
No skill book as far as I know, but you do need the 20 and 30 mastery books.
And Max Can u tell me When wil Justice Patch wil hit GMS?
With Keen eyes being removed does this mean that NL’s will have less range in which they could throw their stars pre justice? or will their range be implemented into their class?
I’m sure the range of the skills stay the same. it’ll be like how gunslingers when the do regular attack its short but when they use a long range skill it’ll be far.
Does the Union Ring event apply for all current characters both created before and after the patch or does it only affect those newly created ones?
Only newly created characters I believe.
Do Ultimate adventures also get the new nightlord skills ?
umm max the posion skill thing for the chief bandit say to claws.,..
demon slayers got nerfed hardcore 😀
Why is transform deleted i love it Dx
Sorry, i know this is a bit late, but are the Justice coins tradeable?
They are not
arlo
wad happen to maple warrior skill
the skill had been deleted for night lord,shadower,viper n captain
It’s still there.
Oh my. Too many questions.
To start with, Demon Slayers weren’t exactly number one in damage to begin with. Have there been any changes since those listed to fix the horrid nerf? It hardly seems my Demon Slayer is worth playing if this is what’s being thrown at us.
2. Leech Aura says that you can heal up to 50% of your HP and cannot heal afterwards. Does this essentially mean that you can get the effect of an elixer ONCE and then cannot heal with anything but a Cleric’s heal afterwards? I mean, if a person were using it during bossing, wouldn’t that be suicidal? It seems as if using it in regular grinding would be suicide, given the mobs do enough damage.
3. It says that, even with some proper funding, a Corsair still can’t quite match a DB? Are DBs seriously that OP right now? Corsairs, Nightlords, and Bowmasters should be the kings of DPS (though not mobbing) and they’re outclassed by DBs still? It seems even Shadowers trump Corsairs.
4. Does Marksman’s Pierce continue to increase in damage as it pierces? (1.2x on the second hit, 1.44x on the third, etc) Or is it a maintained percent per enemy like any other mobbing attack?
5. Overall, which classes among these would you say have ‘improved’?
I’m considering whether to level my Corsair further before the update. Will Corsairs still be pretty good after the revamp? Better? Worse?
u prefer NL or BM after justice
Quik question- Buccs skill energy charge: does it still include the stance effect or not?
Thanks
Yes it does 🙂
i’m very confusing
i don’t know which class should i choose
1.Mercedes 2.Bowmaster 3.NightLord
max,which class is better after Justice Patch??
Does anyone know if the skills were transferred? like they won’t reset back to 10… if they do… aw man…
Lol, sorry for asking another question, but is creating a new character (my case a bucc) have any advantages(events and such)? and if so do pre-exsiting buccs get it?
thanks again
Quick question: Do Mechanics get the bonus from the Counterattack Goggles? Great blog.
TYTYTY my corsair is lv100 ty for information
yay i need to track down all new skill books………….NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I mean mastery books lol :3
Hey max i got a question, ive heard that the new meso explosion will only hit 10 times on monsters, and 15 times on bosses, if so that means the 6% extra damage we get is redundant because we compared to our current (gms) meso exposion we actually hit 15 times per monster! :O
i dont know how true/accurate it is but can you please verify?
cheers!
never mind, ive verified,
“Explodes nearby mesos to damage enemies. However, mesos that belongs to others cannot be exploded. You can stack the effect up to 10 times for regular monsters and 15 for Boss Monsters.”
“Level 20: 20 MP Cost: 30, Damage: 186% per Meso, Max Targets Hit: 10, Number of Hits: 15”
what does stack mean?
Hey max does the justice shop have regulare android recipes? Also is it true that willow’s defence blocks 1/1? I heard it on basil,
Let the bandwagon…….begin. -runs to korean folk town- phew, no buccs here 😀 Only me……..-forever alone-
Hey Max, If I have Triple Throw 30 in GMS, and I hold it untill the Justice patch, then will the book change into Quadruple Throw 30?
is the counterattack goggles a face accessory or a helmet?
It’s a hat.
i mean an eye accessory
Are the justice shop items untradable?
Are the justice shop weapons untradable?
They are tradeable until equipped.
Were the justice shop scrolls tradable within account?
hey max do you know when this patch is coming to GMS or not i was just wondering cuz i have most of the revamped classes and im excited!!!! and BTW awesome blog. You deserve a medal 😀
Hi Max, 1 question here…. I do understand we can exchange the deleted skill Mastery book to a new skill book. Such as Ninja Ambush and Ninja Storm etc. But how about all the moved skill mastery book? Can we also change them as well?
Hi, Max I truly appreciate how hard you work to bring us news about new kms content. I thank you. On to my question I heard that the revamp for thieves and pirates won’t happen because Nexon America is following TWMS. Is this true? Say it ain’t so
its not true. we will be getting the justice patch as mentioned, for sure. and it will probably happen in June. considering the “big events and patches” that are saved for the summer.
Are you sure? because shakar96 is going around basilmarket saying the revamp won’t come to gms just phantom and the exclusive class
Are you sure? because shakar96 is going around basilmarket saying that the revamp wont come to gms just phantom and the exclusive class
Hi. If you are above level 70 and 100 can you still get the hat/earrings/other items?
do buccs still have speed infusion??
cant wait for phantom 🙂
g
If we get a mastery book that gets deleted, when I turn in, is it only the mastery books of that class? Or if I have, lets say, hypnotize 30, can I trade it in for a shadower book?
Answers to viper mount quiz please?
Could you post skill images for vipers? 😛
I don’t suppose.. they bumped the Haste master level down to 10 or anything, did they? It’d be perfect for both Thieves, but Night Walkers in particular.. would have it really inconvenient that way..
would gms motherfuckin update to phantom already? i want my weak ass hermit to get stronger fuck u gms.
LOLOL o.o demon slayers get shit on in this update -_-
is there a skill build for Gunslinger?
why i cant find the buccaneer’s new skill ‘GUARD CRASH’
I want to ask u something that I am not sure about it.
If my NL has already maxed the skill of tripe throw of level 30 in my 4th job tab. But when revamp comes and all skills change especially when tripe throw (4th job) push to 3rd job. Then quarter throw skill is already at level 30 on the behalf of tripe throw? Thanks!
pirates own maple again but its still sad theres no pirate hero 😥
Will we still able to make Magic throwing Knife? after the patch?
