KMST V300 ~ New login look & another job in development? (credit to mr.spadow~)

After nearly two weeks a new Tespia patch has been released.
It’s a big patch, but the content is not big.

Though, new bugs were found in this patch and most likely this will not be the ”very big patch”.
The 7th anniversary of MapleStory is coming up soon in April and that has to be celebrated, I hope this anniversary will be much bigger than last year.

Let’s move on to what Nexon released in yesterday’s patch.
I’ll reveal the surprising part first.

New info has been added to the .wz files which revealed the skill names for the new job.

Triple Blow
Revive
Dark Chain
Super Body
Finish Attack
Quad Blow
Death Blow
Finish Blow
Dark Spear
Cyclone
Lasergun
Siege
Siege2

Very interesting, but I’m also dumbfounded why they’re releasing new jobs at a fast pace instead of developing useful content.
This patch brings a new refreshing look to login. I already love it, but I miss the old UI though…

It looks so modern now. Really neat stuff.

The content they have developed for his patch isn’t useful for high leveled players.

A new area dedicated to Shammos has been released in El Nath Mts.

Ice Gorge can be found in Ice Valley 2 map.
This area comes with new monsters:

LV.: 75
HP: 32,000
MP: 150
EXP: 800

LV.: 76
HP: 33,000
MP: 200
EXP: 850

LV.: 77
HP: 34,000
MP: 200
EXP: 900

LV.: 78
HP: 35,000
MP: 250
EXP: 950

LV.: 79
HP: 36,000
MP: 300
EXP: 1,000

Boss
LV.: 80
HP: 800,000
MP: 10,000
EXP: 590,000

The thing about this area is that.. you cannot really train on these monsters. Ice Gorge isn’t a training area, in my opinion it’s more of a (party) quest area.

No single monster spawn in the maps of Ice Gorge, you have to enter the other maps to complete your quests from Shammos.

To be able to fight the boss, you have to talk to Shammos in Chief’s Residence in El Nath.
You need a party of at least three people and then the party leader has to talk to Shammos.

When your party leader talked to Shammos, he will break free and disappear.

After he disappeared you have to go to Ice Gorge and the leader has to talk to Shammos again. Then your party will warp to a different map in Ice Gorge where you have to protect Shammos from the monsters. (listed above)

So you will only find these monsters in a special map. I went in with a party and the spawn of the monsters is really slow.
It’s really cool to see Shammos moving on his own.
