Maple Inven published a new interview today, with the director of the MapleStory V update! There was a lot of interesting information and I won’t be translating it completely but I will post the big tidbits!

The director mentioned that 5th job is still a work in progress, they will continue to develop things for it and they are aiming to add another skill for all jobs.

In terms of V Cores and Core Gemstones, he said that it is random for what Cores you can get but when you open Core Gemstones, there is a slightly higher chance to get Cores for your job (they are willing to adjust this if it’s still too bad).

In this month, they will also be adding the Core Combine and Core Disenchant systems to help ease the randomness.

In terms of Arcane Force, he said it is extremely important in the Arcane River and there is no other way to increase your Arcane Force other than upgrading your Arcane Symbols.

Here’s what the level 200 equipment set looks like! I think they’re awesome, the whole starry/interstellary theme is great.

The director said that the level 200 equipment set’s stats will be reflective of its level, but the level 160 set will still be useful as it will take a long time to obtain these new equips. If needed, level 160~200 equipment sets may be added in the future as well.

The experience table has been decreased by approximately 30%. Certain level ranges which do not have as much content available have been decreased by 40~50%.

When asked about the maximum damage cap removal, the director said that they wanted users to be able to access their full strength, and did not want the game to be decided by the highest number of hits per second. They are willing to buff/nerf jobs based on this change in the future.

For the status resistance changes, he said that almost every user could get to 100% status resistance, which caused bosses to be trivial unless they were able to ignore status resistance, which was a bandaid solution. He said there are limits to how interactive avoiding attacks can be in a 2D side-scrolling game so they changed status resistance to decrease duration of status effect. In the future, if this causes bosses to become significantly more difficult, their battle patterns will be readjusted.

For other battle-related stats, he said that for a long time, accuracy has been thought of as useless so they removed it and changed hit rate to be based on the user’s level. For critical damage, it was very unintuitive that your minimum critical damage would become your maximum critical damage if it exceeded it so they combined them into one.

The new continent Arcane River features a mighty flowing river that leads to the Black Mage. It consists of 3 areas: Road of Vanishing, Chu Chu Island, and the City of Dreams Lacheln. They will be added one at a time because they are putting a lot of attention to each area.

Each one is made to be a new type of experience. For example, the BGMs and sound effects will have more acoustic and environmental sounds. This year, they will be composed and produced by Nexon’s internal team rather than outsourcing. Last month, the Damien soundtrack was released and even more great and high-quality BGMs will be released through the site.

The interviewer asked where the idea for the bright and cheery Chu Chu Island came from. He replied that for MapleStory, as monsters get higher and higher levelled, they become more fierce looking, and they wanted a charming high level area with a more happy concept.

Grandis still has some work to be done, while Friends Story is not part of the main story so it is not as high a priority. Currently, development is focused on the story of Arcane River.

Commander Lucid has appeared before but now, with a new appearance, she will be a large part of the story and a boss monster in Arcane River. She will not be part of a blockbuster because they felt that there is a difference between a closed story in a blockbuster and a more open story in a new area.

At the end of the continent Arcane River, you will be able to meet the Black Mage. However, this won’t necessarily happen during the summer update.

Their goals for the new UI were to make it more convenient to use and to increase openness for easier skill usage. They know it is a huge change for existing users but they are very open to comments and concerns from users in the test servers.

Finally, they do think that Hard Suu will be defeated sooner or later after this patch. In addition to the level 160 item set, there are still some rewards from him that have not been found yet!

A new test server patch has been released, with more changes to the 5th job system and to the UI as well.

Arcane Equipment

The new equipment system Arcane Symbol has been added.

• Through content in the new area Arcane River, you can raise your character’s main stats and Arcane Force stat.
• Arcane Force is required in the Arcane River area for various activities. If it is low, you will be disadvantaged but if it is high, you will receive benefits. (similar to Star Force)
• You can get different kinds of Arcane Symbols in each of the Arcane River’s areas.
  • Currently, there are only two kinds: the Arcane Symbol and the Arcane Symbol: Road of Vanishing. In the future, you will be able to obtain the Arcane Symbol: Chu Chu Island and Arcane Symbol: City of Dreams.
• Arcane Symbols can be equipped to increase your Arcane Force and main stat. The main stat given by Arcane Symbols is not affected by % stat increasing potential lines or additional options, it is a flat boost.

• While equipped, duplicate Arcane Symbols can be combined into equipped ones to give them experience.
• When an Arcane Symbol is at 99% growth experience, you can level it up by paying a meso fee (for me, it was 10m/20m/30m for level 2/3/4).
• Arcane Symbols can go up to level 10.

5th Job Advancement

The 5th job advancement system has been added.

• Characters can begin the 5th job advancement quests in the Temple of Time at level 200.
  • Collect 3 Arcane Stones from the Maple World’s Goddess (given for free), Grandis’ Goddess (defeat Magnus, it seems any difficulty will work), and Masteria’s Goddess (find the Horizon portal in Fallen World Tree within 5 minutes). They can be found in special Horizon portals in Henesys, Pantheon, and Fallen World Tree.
  • Arcane Stones can be activated one at a time, and when they have been active for 2 hours, they will be complete. Even if you log off while they are activated, the remaining time required will not be reset.
  • After an Arcane Stone’s activation is complete, there is an 8 hour cooldown before you can activate another one. This 8 hour cooldown will continue to go down even if you are not logged in.
    • This means that to complete the 5th job advancement, you need a total of 22 hours (2 hours for the first stone, 8 hour cooldown, 2 hours for the second stone, 8 hour cooldown, 2 hours for the third stone).
  • While an Arcane Stone is active, it will collect all experience that your character gains. After you advance, these stones will become Experience Potions that you can use to receive that experience once again.
  • After all 3 have been activated, you can advance to 5th job!
• The goal of the 5th job advancement system and 5th job skills are the following:
  • To not radically change the existing battle patterns.
  • To add new battle experiences.
  • To continue to grow stronger.
• We have created a foundation that meets the three conditions above, and through future updates, new skills, equipment, systems, and content will continue to be added.

The 5th job skill system V Matrix has been added.

• You can install V Cores to acquire new skills and enhance existing ones.
• V Cores are split into 3 types: Skill Cores, Enhancement Cores, and Special Cores.
  • Skill Core: if installed, you can acquire new skills
  • Enhancement Core: if installed, you can enhance existing skills
  • Special Core: only one can be installed, but if you satisfy its conditions you can get special abilities

• You can take your Skill Cores and Enhancement Cores to the Arcane River area’s town to the NPC Achelle and combine the same types of V Cores to rank them up.
• All V Cores can be enhanced up to rank 20. However, enhancement skills unlocked by Enhancement Cores can go up to level 40. (this will make more sense when you read below)
• You can also disassemble V Cores to get V Core Pieces. These pieces will be used in the Maker Mode system which allows you to create Cores (not currently implemented).

• You can acquire V Cores by using Core Gemstones. Core Gemstones can be acquired through monster drops in the Arcane River area.

• When you first advance at level 200, there will be 4 slots available in the V Matrix. Every 6 levels after that, you will unlock another slot. 
  • Note: I realize that this doesn’t match up with the total of 21 slots per page. Maybe at higher levels, it unlocks slots more frequently? It also says there are ‘other conditions’ that can unlock slots but I don’t know what they are.
  • Note: There are arrows that allow you to go to other V Matrix pages, but they don’t work yet. This might mean you can have more V Cores installed at one time or it will be like Rune Pages in League of Legends, where you can switch between ones for specific situations.

How does it work?

1. Collect Core Gemstones.
2. Open them to receive V Cores. This is random and you can receive both duplicates (used to level up your skills) and Cores for other jobs (useless). However, there is a larger chance of getting cores that your job can use.
3. Install the Cores you would like to use. This will give you access to the new skills unlocked with Skill Cores, the skill enhancements with Enhancement Cores, and special abilities with Special Cores. The levels of the skills that Cores unlock depend on their rank (e.g. rank 2 Core will unlock a level 2 skill).
4. You can level up your skills by combining Cores of the same kind. (e.g. combine a duplicate Arrow Rain Core with your installed one to give it experience). When a Core has gained enough experience, it will rank up, increasing the level of the skill.
   • NOTE: All Skill Core skills can go up to level 20.
   • NOTE: All Enhancement Core skills can go up to level 40.
   • NOTE: All Special Core skills can go up to level 1.

Here’s a short video with an overview of how to use the new system.

Skill Cores

New skills that can be acquired by installing Skill Cores have been added. Buff duration/cooldown reduction/cooldown resets do not affect 5th job skills.

Due to high amounts of lag and game downtime during the past couple of weeks, Nexon has extended the Breakthrough V event to July 24. This only applies to characters created before this patch so if you didn’t start beforehand, you won’t be able to start now.

Within 5 days of the 5th job patch, there have been a total of 5 server maintenances and 2 patches because of the immense lag and disconnections taking place in the game.

The first patch was just some bug fixes and some compensation but the one yesterday brought something I don’t think has ever been added before, additional channels!

KMS ver. 1.2.260

In the additional patch KMS ver. 1.2.260, they increased regeneration rate of monsters in more hunting grounds.

• Stone Giant Colossus
  • Exploration Field West Road 1~3
  • Exploration Field Dangerous Road
  • Exploration Field East Road 1~3
  • Bee’s Colony 1~3
  • Bee’s Home
  • Stone Giant’s Upper Body 1~3
  • Stone Giant’s Body 1~3
• Kritias (after completing the quest line)
  • Freezing Forest 1~2
  • Beginning Tragedy Forest 1~5
  • Glowing Forest 1~2
  • Deepening Tragedy Forest 1~5
  • Ending Tragedy Forest 1~5
  • Fallen Magician’s Forest 1, 3
  • Shadowy Forest 1~2

They also added additional compensation due to the terrible server lag that has been present since the 5th job patch (and even before that). Until July 24, everyone will receive the following benefits:

• 7 free entries to Monster Park
• Star Force enhancements’ meso cost 30% discount (does not include Superior items)
• Daily limit of V Coins from V Boxes and number of V Coins from V Boxes will be increased to 2x the regular amount

• Scroll Trace Fever Time (except Reboot)
• Mastery Book 20/30 price discount to 300k/500k mesos (however, they will be untradeable)

In addition, due to the delay in increasing the maximum amount of slots from 96 to 128, everyone will receive +32 slots for free (in every inventory category except storage) once they figure out the problem and are able to add it to the game.

KMS ver. 1.2.261

In this patch, channels 20-29 have been added to certain worlds (those which have a high population). At first, they were only available to Red but after a server maintenance today, Scania, Luna, and Elysium have them as well.

Since the 5th job advancement requires you to have completed the Kao quest line in the Temple of Time (which in turn requires you to unlock up to the Road of Oblivion), the spawn rate of Dodo, Lilynouch, and Lyka have been increased.

Extended Events

The Mesoranger V and Beat the Heat V events have been extended until August 17. The V Diary event has been extended until August 31.

MapleStory’s next mobile app, Maple Blitz X (which was previously just titled Project MNP), is ready for testing! CBT applications have been opened and it will take place from August 9 to August 15.

Sadly, applying requires a Korean cellphone, but there’s a new trailer and some more information which I’ll talk about in this post.

The gameplay has been confirmed as MOBA-style real-time strategy with cards. Summon monsters and attack with your chosen hero’s skills to push down three lanes and defeat the enemy!

It looks like you’ll choose to play as a certain character (in the video, they showed Mercedes, Phantom, Kyrin, and Oz) which gives you access to special cards for your deck.

There’s also different battlefields, each of which seems to have a different gimmick. In the video, there was Golem’s Temple in Henesys (which spawns a golem randomly), Eliza’s Garden in Orbis (I assume the statue will attack at certain points), and the Toy Factory in Ludibrium (with conveyor belts speeding up or slowing down monsters).

In this picture, you can see Water Shield, Spirit Infusion (which increases the stat of an allied turret by +3, has a certain chance to increase damage by 2x when it uses a skill, and the stat boost decreases by 1 each time it uses a skill), and Rolling Moonsault. Each skill requires a certain amount of MP (?) which is the blue bar at the top, under the HP bar.

I think it definitely looks fun and I like the art style of the characters and cards (although I’m not sure about half of Kyrin’s clothes being gone…). Hopefully the OBT or official release comes soon!

A new test server patch has been released, with the last area of Arcane River and the new boss, Ruler of Nightmares: Lucid! Since my character is only 210 and they don’t give free level ups anymore, I won’t be able to explore myself😦

Boss: Lucid

A new boss, Lucid, has been added.

• The Queen of Nightmares, Lucid has finally been unveiled in the City of Dreams, Lacheln.
• You can meet Lucid when you reach the top floor of the Clocktower of Nightmares, by completing the Lacheln area quests.
• Commander Lucid can be challenged in a party of 1-6 people.

Lucid is a level 230 boss, people on Insoya have calculated that her first phase and second phase have have 14.5 trillion HP each. She has 300% PDR and requires 360 Arcane Force (THAT’S CRAZY).

Lucid has two phases. In the first one, she sits on a flower and uses a variety of skills on you. There’s a few summons, a flower attack very similar to Damien’s sword slash, giant dream scythes, and bullet hell butterfly balls.

In phase 2, Lucid teleports everyone to another map where she flies around.

You can see a video of the fight here!

Hungry Muto

New party content in Chew Chew Island, Hungry Muto, has been added. Join forces with other Maplers to create a line of delicious dishes, to help Muto in his fight against Gula!

You can talk to Simia in the Secluded Village Area to enter this content. To enter, you must meet the following conditions:

• Complete the quest ‘Goodbye Chew Chew Island’
• Be in a party of 1~4 people
• Can be cleared up to 3 times per day

The rewards will include Arcane Symbol: Chew Chew Island and experience. The rewards will given out based on your clear record and the challenge difficulty.

• Normal
  • S Rank (5 minutes or less): 3 Arcane Symbols
  • A Rank (8 minutes or less): 2 Arcane Symbols
  • B Rank (10 minutes or less): 1 Arcane Symbol
• Hard
  • S Rank (5 minutes or less): 5 Arcane Symbols
  • A Rank (8 minutes or less): 4 Arcane Symbols
  • B Rank (10 minutes or less): 3 Arcane Symbols

Basically, you have 10 minutes to complete enough recipes so that Muto will defeat Gula (i.e. the green bar at the top fills all the way up). If you do it fast enough, you’ll even get bonus gauge!

Note that you can only hold one ingredient at a time! So if you have 10 of something and accidentally loot 1 of something else, you’ll lose all 10 of the first ingredient, which sucks. Also sometimes there will be a mystery recipe so you’ll have to try out different ones (or just find a list of the recipes haha).

Spiegelmann’s Adventure Express: Chew Chew Food Truck

The Spiegelmann’s Adventure Express Season 3: Chew Chew Food Truck event has begun and will run until September 7.

This time, Spiegelmann has parked his Adventure Express in the Chew Chew Remote Island. In the centre of the island, you will set up a food truck!

As customers come and order food, you must traverse the island and buy the required ingredients using Chew Chew Coins from various NPCs within a certain amount of time. When you return, they’ll pay you in Chew Chew Coins and your Food Truck’s fame will increase.

You can participate in this event up to 10 times per day.

At the top of your screen, you’ll see:

1. Your remaining time. You will have 20 minutes to make as many recipes as possible.
2. Your recipe slots. You can see your current recipes, their required ingredients, selling price, and cooking time. As you level up your food truck, you’ll be able to serve more people at the same time.
3. Your remaining time for the recipe. Customers won’t wait forever! If you don’t finish the recipe in time, they’ll leave and your food truck’s fame will go down.

Also at the top of your screen is your stats.

1. Truck Level: increased when your fame is increased (max level 5)
2. Fame: increased when you successfully serve customers, decreased when you don’t fulfill a customer (if your fame decreases enough, your Truck Level will decrease as well)
3. Saved Coins: the Chew Chew Coins you currently have. These are spent on buying ingredients and also can be traded in for other prizes. You start off with 50 Coins and when time is up, you will keep any excess coins you currently hold (i.e. you will only keep X – 50 coins).
4. Movement Speed: your Dash skill’s movement speed is enhanced based on this level (max level 10)
5. Cooking Speed: your recipe cooking speed is decreased based on this level (max level 10)
6. Customer Speed: your time between new customers is decreased and your time alotted per recipe is increased based on this level (max level 10)

To level up your three Speed stats, you have to find the God of Control NPCs on the island and trade Chew Chew Coins to upgrade them.

You can spend the Chew Chew Coins that you receive on mesos, V Coins, and special food truck chairs.

• 10k mesos – 1 Chew Chew Coin (can acquire up to 5m mesos in one trade, can be traded up to 10 times per day)
• 1 V Coin – 10 Chew Chew Coins (can acquire up to 10 V Coins in one trade, can be traded up to 10 times per day)
• Vintage Food Truck Chair – 100 Chew Chew Coins (can only be bought if your Food Truck level is 2 or more)
• Classic Food Truck Chair – 250 Chew Chew Coins (can only be bought if your Food Truck level is 4 or more)
• Luxury Food Truck Chair – 500 Chew Chew Coins (can only be bought if your Food Truck level is 5 or more)

Mega Burning Project

The Mega Burning Project has begun and will run until July 13.

Like before, when you create a new character during this event, you can choose to make them a Mega Burning character! Note that you cannot burn a Zero, and you can only do this once per world per Maple ID.

Characters can only become Mega Burning characters when they are created. You cannot change your Mega Burning character but if you delete it, you can make another one.

The main benefit of a Mega Burning character is the ability to gain two extra levels per level up. This effect will take place until level 130!

You’ll also receive the Keep on Burning title which gives 100 all stats, 10 attack/magic attack, 10% boss damage, 10% defense ignore, and 400 HP/MP. The title can only be equipped after reaching level 130 and its stats will expire in 14 days.

At level 100, you’ll receive the Legendary Secret Box which when opened will reward you with 2 Mastery Book 20’s, 2 Mastery Book 30’s, and a full Black set.

At level 30, you’ll receive the Level 30 Equipment Box which is self-explanatory.

Finally, when your Mega Burning character is created, it will receive a Snail pet that has 5 hours of magic. It comes with meso loot, item loot, auto loot, and auto HP/MP. You cannot use the Water of Life on it.
