non-comprehensive summary of changes. don't take this as absolute truth and wait for more details and proper translation
- 3rd and 4th mastery core
- new boss baldrix (the dude on the horse). drops brilliant set pendant
- brilliant 2-set effect: 20 all stat 500 hp 20 att 15% boss
- genesis weapon upgrade: destiny weapon - darmoor related weapon rather than black mage
- destiny weapon is 250, still part of eternal set. you keep your potentials but if you want them to be the 250 tier you have to recube (except this doesn't affect GMS because our lvl 151+ items already have the higher lines). also have to reflame
- they show seren, kalos and kaling - I'm assuming you have to clear these for the destiny weapon
- they say there's a higher tier of destiny weapon later and they're showing limbo and baldrix and an unknown boss
- liberation shortened from 8 months to 3 months and you only need to clear black mage once
- union/legion champion: need at least one 260 char and 8k. separate champion power and coins system. this is gonna be long term content like legion was when it was first released. starts at 2 chars and goes up to 6. have to clear bosses (they show hlotus, hvhilla, hblackmage, hseren, nkalos as examples) to get points and there are 6 tiers
- stats you can get from legion champion (champion insignia): 30 boss, 15 crit dmg, 30 att, 30 all stat, 30 ied
- champion raid: dragon island - real time tag play, max of 6 characters. stats you can get from it: all stat, ied, att, crit damage, boss damage, exp. it's a 30min buff
- arcane river story remaster
- monster park extreme weekly, can do on 2 characters and 5x exp
- epic dungeon 2 chars/week
- increased arcane symbols from minigames
- boss/area prequest skip expanded to entire maple id so if you play in burning world you can skip
- grandis dailies mob count reduction as you reach higher areas (like arcane river)
- easier to get monster park medals
- hexa booster - trade sol erda energy for a vip booster and vice versa
- title and medal skin (choose appearance vs functionality)
- quest and world map UI changed - similar style as planner
- 5 min cooldown free teleport in the world map. basically a perma teleport rock (remember that KMS tp rocks are like 30min cooldown)
- added portals between towns, town return function, improved travel convenience
- maple hands auction house (it seems to be some phone app where you can buy items)
- improved legion/union board placement mode - in-game solver
- new system: skill sequence. sort of like a macro but better so you can chain your burst rotation to 1 button and it's super fast. you can set up multiple macros (for small burst etc)
- reboot server icons changed and renamed to helios and eos. grouped by reg server, helios/eos and burning world
- combined auction house between worlds of the same group - there's a maple points fee for items that are going cross world. the example shows about a 10% fee on buying a cross world item: 25k maple points for a 10b item. meso market value in KMS is 1b = 25k maple pts right now so it could be like 10% of the item value. not too bad if it scales with meso market
- cross world bossing - easy kalos and up
- cross world meso market - increased transaction from 5b to 100b
- more QoL changes that will be in patch notes
- new winter tutorial missions
- the event shows the story of reina and the other apostles
- boss outfits in the cash shop: magnus, ark, cyg, damien, will, vhilla, darknell, black mage, seren, kaling, MPE boss, limbo
- event format is similar to milestone/dark ride stuff, except for each reward you can choose between coins or the reward in case you don't need it, and spend the coins on other stuff
- hyper burning MAX: gives 5 lvls instead of 3 per level up, 2 hyper burns this event . you can't start both of them immediately (2nd one is a burninator that you get from attendance or something)
- challengers world: improved burning world with challenger missions from lvl 260 and cygnus up to darknell (hard included) and lvl 280. NOTE: item burning is still there on top of all of this
- karma legendary scroll x2 up to lvl 200 items
- extreme legion/union growth potion 20x (brings you to 4k legion, so I guess it's 20 lvl 200's?)
- showcase gifts: mannequin slots, 4x inventory slots, 25x mag pots, 3x char slots, ccpb, some cosmetics, damage skin and medal
