roadmap of things planned from june to november (incomplete, subject to change)
july patch, 285 lvl requirement, 3 phases.
normal and hard mode
they will accelerate releasing new endgame bosses since they gave so much power creep
gives eternal shoe, glove and cape, which were also redesigned
NEW LEVEL 250 RING, 5 psok count, 3 exceptional enhancement slots
improving the system, the base is sol erda & exp, but then you choose between sol erda or exp and it's 4x-8x. details are not clear from showcase but it sounds like we are getting more rewards than before overall. they tried making it not repetitive compared to high mountain
lvl 270 required. you only do one epic dungeon per week
level 290
new symbol that gives 50% FINAL EXP, 15% FINAL MESO, 15% FINAL DROP. this is not just a normal authentic symbol, it's a new tab
it will affect the economy so they will not reveal anything for now. new way to upgrade, depends on your performance and stats and it can be meso or not
they are adding an item to extract exceptional enhancements from your items
requires lvl 265 and a lvl 20 1st hexa stat core. they want to introduce a new fragment sink to increase the value of frags. works same as 1st hexa stat core.
- more remasters coming
- they learned from AB remaster to make sure the remasters are good quality
- figure out WHY the classes need to be remastered
- SEPARATE hyper burning and tera blink for one? of the remastered classes, meaning that we get the normal hyperburn from event plus another one for those 2
- new hyperburn rewards: unique emblem, event ring cubes, 3x coupons, strawberry farm tickets, new PERMA title 10% boss 10 att 20 allstat - basically yetixpb title, at 230, nodes, exp nodes, symbols, event ring, fake abso/domi, cra gear (12% stat), medal. this is on top of the existing hyperburn rewards
- cosmetics for every aran & shade: dmg skin, pet, chat/name label, chair, stat window background, chair, effect
- physical story books for aran and shade that you can buy. odyssey: aran, odyssey: eunwol. also contains behind the scenes stuff for these classes
- punch king event that gives maple pts, 10m top 1, 3m top 4, 1m top 10. apparently this is for burning world?
- maple scheduler: lets you keep track of dailies, weeklies etc in-game. can customize this to your needs. it replaces the yellow lightbulb
- improved pre-200 leveling maps
- from lvl 30 you can quest to 200 without grinding. there is now a main questline
- no longer need stamps in maple guide to teleport to maps
- added key settings to character presets
- added buff choice for dojo training grounds like in the new practice mode
- buffs at the top right are now organized into categories. you can also hide them if you want
- some of the QoL will be in june, some in july
- you can switch characters in game without logging out
- boss cutscene skip (after first run). this is in july
- more v matrix slots. initial 7->12, max 25->30
- you can CHOOSE boost node skills when you craft them
- decreased 6th job advancement exp requirement by ~85% (70b exp). because a lot of people didn't get past the advancement
- liberation ui
- removed etc drop for liberation. clear just counts
- every friday, saturday, sunday spell trace fever time instead of sunday
- android and pet transparency setting (gms already has this lol)
- macos version beta test
- bonus potential magic wand (meso cube). delayed because of unstable economy but it is now being implemented
it's the summer event. 3 stories: von leon, hilla, will. dimensional library themed.
- weekly attendance once a week instead of 3
- daily 5 times a week
- you can use level burn potions on hyper burn characters
- still have white/black cubes in event rewards despite meso cubes
- karma epic bpot scroll, strawberry farm entries, android scrolls, mag pot in meso shop
- boss shop replaced by punch king coin shop: black white cubes, black flames. for high scores: sol erda, soul shards, new black flame that gives t5-7 instead of 4-7
- trying to kill service, not new players, with the punch king shop
- golden richie: secret safe: among othere rewards there's a lvl 5 oz ring coupon (any lv5 ring)
- star force stage: you can donate meso. no more entry fee
helps you keep track on ongoing and upcoming events. replaces the existing event list in-game
from june 20th to october 16th (almost 4 months).
this system benefits the new users. challenger items upgraded as you clear missions.
- 18 star 15% all stat items 30% scroll , 30 boss 15 ied 6% att weapon
- TEMPORARY set effect 30 boss 145 att 50 all stat 20 ied for 8 set.
30 normal mob damage 30 att 40% exp title for 30 days.
I'm assuming this is paid stuff
400 frags, 5 sol erda, 2 mag pots
50% exp passive
- no 6th job updates. it's important to have more content. next time will be a mastery core
