A new patch has been released, this time with the 11th anniversary (will cover in the real server), the return of Mushroom Castle, some UI changes, and some changes to the revamped Cygnus.
I’m 100% sure the next patch for the real server, containing the Flame Wizard reorganization and the anniversary, will be released on April 24!
A discount to enhancing items, EP, has been added. When enhancing items, 1 EP will be the equivalent of 10,000 mesos and your EP will be used before any mesos. You can get EP by disassembling scrolls in Meisterville.
The required levels to some bosses have changed.
- Normal Horntail: level 120
- Chaos Horntail: level 135
- Easy and Normal Van Leon: level 130
- Easy and Normal Arkarium: level 140
- Normal Pink Bean: level 160
- Easy Magnus: level 115
- Normal Magnus: 155
- Hard Magnus: level 175
After accepting the quest Moira’s Whereabouts, you can automatically be moved to the map a Big Nest’s Peak. Creating Horntail‘s Transformation Potion no longer requires any items, you can just talk to Moira to complete the quest. The Mark of an Expedition Leader quest no longer requires the Proof of Zakum, Pianus, and Papulatus. The Cave of Life’s number of required party members has been decreased from 6 to 2.
The Van Leon quest that gives the Knight’s Scroll now has to be completed only once. After that you can talk to the NPC to receive the scroll instead of collecting the item.
For Pink Bean, you no longer need to collect items to create the Chaos Marble.
For Magnus, users level 155 and up can automatically teleport to the top floor of the Tyrant’s Citadel after they enter it.
Some new quests have been added for Hilla, which I assume are backstory quests!
You might have forgotten but at the beginning of You & I, many theme dungeons and areas were closed. Well it seems like they’re finally working on them again, as Mushroom Castle has returned! It is now open for those level 60 and above.
This theme dungeon is so funny, I am definitely calling it the best one to date. It starts off with them trying to cheer up Violetta, they used (a parody of) the MapleStory song some dude sang on Youtube hahaha. And the Black Viking (who they mistake for the Black Mage at first) is also hilarious!
Thanks to Zelkova for the video~
The Party UI has been reorganized. Now, when you create a party, you must choose a name for it. You can change this name later in the party settings. You can also set it as a ‘private party’, where no one else can see it.
The party find window has been deleted. You can now access it through a tab on the new party window. This also includes adding new party members.
Right clicking someone in your party will allow you to add them as a friend, chat, whisper, send them a note and more. There is even a new option called ‘Channel Follow’ which automatically takes you to the channel your party member is in.
Adding someone as a friend has become an option in all the right-click menus, including on characters, guild members, and party members.
The expedition system has been deleted. The existing expedition tab in the Maple User List has been replaced with the Boss tab. Bosses which required expeditions can now be entered with regular parties. All expedition related chat windows, commands, and UI have been removed.
With this new Boss tab, you can see all required information for a variety of bosses, including required level, max level, pre quests required, items required, and daily limits.
After choosing a boss and a difficulty, you’ll enter a queue in which a party with others queueing up will automatically be made. Everyone will be moved to the boss map once the party is complete (you can return to your current map by using a portal).
When applying through the Boss UI, it will check if you are the correct level, have completed the prequests, and if you can still enter the boss that day. Certain bosses will give you a special buff if you use the Boss UI.
The Custom Weapon system has been added. When equipped, Custom Weapons gain stats based on the character’s level. The Custom Weapon’s base required level is also increased. Custom Weapons’ maximum stats and level have a limit. Even if you are a very high level, it cannot go past this limit.
Any upgrades or enhancements done on a Custom Weapon will be based off of the level that the item states.
Currently, the only Custom Weapons are the new 11th anniversary ones. For example, the 11th Anniversary Shining Rod above is a Custom Weapon, it gains stats (up until level 100). It gets 0.8 attack and 1.3 attack per character level from 30 to 100. The character I was on was level 155 and so it would gain the maximum possible stats (0.8×70 and 1.3×70). When upgraded or enhanced, this item is treated as level 100.
