News and Random Updates -_-

Yesterday I finally got my own Laptop Notebook, so YAY! finally I can do so Zakuming once I get stronger hehe~! The Laptop is a Gateway and spects are not to bad (not those gaming computer spects but its almost near that stage ^^). I'm so happy~ now I want to play MS the whole day ^^

About a 2 week ago I bought an Xbox 360 and loads of games (from my first paycheck hehe~). I am fully satisfied with how Xbox 360 is doing, online games from Xbox Live is probably one of the best. I also got alot of online friends that I met from other games (http://www.tmho.tk/) that has an 360~ so yeah... we play most of the time. For those of you who got a 360 and plays in Xbox Live maybe you can add me in your list hehe~ so we can play there as well. my tag is kaz3n.

See how my money is flowing hehe... but yeah, those are my targets for this year so I really need to have one of those ^^

Maple Story news, kMS Tespia Patch 1.2.73 already got released. Nothing major in this patch only name changes. Rumor has it that they are finalizing the skills for all classes now ^^, I repeat it's just a rumor.

Recent 2x events of gMS are great (but laggy accorind to others), because of work I can't join the 2x event awwww how unfair of Nexon putting all the time slot in the morning ><;; Hopefully i can join the last one

Also, lately i've been getting PMs from other gMS players, I don't memorize all the 4th job information hehe (probably 80% of it hehe), questions like, whats the % of this X skill in level one?, when its gonna be out in gMS?, or are X job class getting another skills?, I really don't have the answers for that (well the first one i have but I dont memorize it ><;;). your best bet is to stay tune in this blog or you can always go to sleepywood.net for the latest 4th job info (十DREAM十's 4th job thread). For those of you who I wasn't able to answer (got couple of them) that is because I am AFK in FM ><;;

more updates to come ^^ so stay tune

jMS Begginer's Studio

Let's take a break with all those 4th job ^^. I'll update the patch post whenever theres a new news about 1.2.68t up to until theres a new patch, so keep looking at that post.

OK, lets get back to the topic. What's this Beginner's Studio? Basically it's like a tutorial or introduction to Maple world. I think you need to be a Beginner to get to this place, plus check those nifty overalls hehe.

jMS players or to people who knows anything about this place kindly update me... like location and requirements to enter ^^
Enjoy ^^

UPDATES:
Heres more info from DarkStylaZz. Thanks for updating ^^

"Well the location is now the first map of maple island, when you first create your character you will appear in the first map showed there, *note* you wont keep the fruit clothes after you leave, the only requirement is to create a new char, while you walk throught the begginer studio you get to see some miniclips of warrior, magician, thief, archers using some of their skills, while you see how the towns look like, you can also make a couple of quests there. I accidentally left so I cant tell more. I hope my info is usefull."

kMS Tespia Patch 1.2.68

This post has been updated with new info. and movies, just scroll at the bottom

New patch just got released. most of the updates involves twiking of skills and a couple of additional skills. One major update is adding the 4th job skill book update. Thanks to Keunwp of Sleepywood.net for explaning how this works.


Major Updates (so far this are the know translated updates)
  • 4th job skill book explanation. Upon reaching your 4th job advancement (I think there also a quest), you will only have certain skill in your skill book (not all) and most of this skill are max at level 10 only. To master this skills you need to collect some skill cards/scrolls (or what ever they are called) and use it, they work like scrolls with certain rates. Some skills or cards can be obtain by Quest as well.
  • To master a 20 limit skill you need the respective card and use it. the rate is 70% of success. A 30 limit skill has a 50% rate. you can use it over and over.

I think after you use the cards it will increase the level (the buffer number of the skill) of you skill (not like putting a skill point). then that where you will use you skill points obtained after level up. still confused me stay tune for more info.

Heres a picture of skill cards drop from monster.

  • I/L Arch Mage - Spark, Lightning element mob skill <picture>
  • F/P Arch Mage - Untraslated? or is there any?
  • Quest in getting Fire/Ice Birds for Bowmans are added (you need to capture one or fight one to get one). This is probably same for other summons as well but as of now the only sure thing is a quest for bowman. Video for the quest located below of this post.
  • Quest for some skill are added (check the link below)

Additional changes/updates

  • Cool downtime for some skills changed and removed.
  • Berserk (formly know as Advance Rage) 10 Orbs to cast Berserk, no more cooldown (it takes only few sec to get 10 orbs >.>).
  • Intensify and Magic Interception changed from 10 min to 5 min cool down uppon max.
  • Sanctuary for Paladin is now usable even if not Blunt Weapon.
  • Mana Reflection is changed to no more than 200% of max hp of monster.
  • Keen Dagger for Shadower stuns now.
  • Holy Dragon for Bishop 3 Monster max per attack
  • Fire/Ice Birds for Bowmans 4 Mosters max per attack
  • Probably to Mage summons as well (4)
  • Storm of Arrows got a new sound effect (check movie clip below)
  • Animation for Inspiration added
  • Animation for Holy Charge for 1hand added
  • Animation for Smoke Bomb added

Video for Patch 1.2.68
