4. Fish (Obtained from Fishing, originally released in TMS recently)



Apparently you can obtain a "Summoning Bag" to summon the fish monster and a "Fish Ring" that can be equipped.

New Mini-game!

Spot the difference. Accessed from the "Black Hole" in the FM.

"Trade Market"?! :f6:

Source: http://mxd.sdo.com/web4/project/v067/event_04.html

Basically, this event revolves around a Marketplace which opens only on Weekends. Shops from various lands, namely Thailand, Aquaroad, Ariant, Perion and Shanghai, are selling unique items which can only be bought during that week.

In the next week, new items will be up for grabs. Players can sell these items to another NPC, at either a higher or lower price, depending on your luck and foresight. (Some items are bought at a higher price, some items are bought at a lower price, all dependent on your choice of item)

I think that's about it, as translated with my unreliable Chinese.

Those pets just plain suck...
The summon sack looks awesome and the trade market sounds like an interesting idea but I bet it just sells trash.

npcable trash!

Hmm...so CMS is having some sort of a "stock market"...

Hurray for education?

The Duck is indeed quite disturbing in its design, i would not ever want that thing to be following me around. But the Chickens look awesome. The regular one more so than golden version.
That giant fish is one of the most adorable things in MS IMO. I'd be fun to summon a ton of them in every aqua road map for no good reason.

I wonder how the resale of those items from the special store works tho. if it depends on 'luck and foresight' it just sounds like the price will be randomized per character to me, and that could suck in a very big way for alot of ppl.

If the last event is anything like the stock market game (not the real one) then things could get very interesting. Eventually in the end, there will be quite a bandwagon xD

So the fish just follows you but isn't a monster?

Pffft, I want the duck

Yeesh, the pets keep getting bigger~ Are those pets permanent? (as in they doll-ify and you buy a water of life)

The pineapple is with the fish?
And, A BLACK HOLE IS ATTACKING FM!111! AHHHHH. Btw, isn't that the portal used for the Ellinia Mini-Boss?

I saw they had a test Server update the other day, I've been waiting to see some results from what was in it. Guess it's time to start digging again.

anyone notice the background of the fish? I belive that is Pachinko, or Monster Arcade or whatever. I dont belive they had that before?

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the umbrella in the fish ss!

oh and, anyone have the drops/level/exp/hp on fish?

Ok, research is done for now...
happyville has been altered once again. It looks different, but it's not the radical change we had last year.

Snowing! Aside from the snow, the background was also changed back to a darker theme. It's somewhere between the original and last year's in terms of looks.

On the other hand it looks like the background changes between this new one and last year's in different maps.

New (face? hat?) equip. As you can see it has the background from last year in this map...

Other new equip, this seems to be a weapon. Note that this is a new map. A lot of maps seem to have been added:

Some sort of jump quest? who knows. Speaking of new maps... sorry to burst your coketown bubble, but:

Yeah, he's in happyville. CMS and TaiwanMS tend to do the same events on major holidays so yeah. The only thing is no O-pongo or whatever here.


Another NPC in Happyville, seems to do similar things to Maple Claws for us. And what does santa give you for Christmas?

WAAAAAAAAAAAA... He turned you into a yeti!

The events aren't restricted to Happyville, of course.

OBNOXIOUS STOCKING BOSS TO RUIN YOUR TOWNS! Don't worry, the Giant Snowman also spawns in town! YAY FOR UNSAFE TOWNS! >_>
The other thing:

Stray Rudolph. This is the same as KMS's event last year, catch Rudolph for santa.

I like how they keep changing Christmas events slightly. Keeps things a lot fresher. I wish they would do that for some of the other events. I hope we get the Yeti transform that is awesome! Worth reviving my Yeti pet just for that.

Ok, think I got most of the monsters. Except that stocking thing, I can't find any data on it. Still looking but yeah.

Fish has a good HP/exp ratio, but since it's summoned that's kinda irrelevant. It's not a boss or anything, just absurdly huge.

Google translate of the mini game page link:

 Spoiler

1. large-screen displays two seemingly different, two different plans, your eyes wide, looking for different careful oh

2. the bottom of the screen click on the NPC Island adventure operators, you will find the difference to tell him that the correct answer will be a rich reward Oh

That really helped.

The events aren't restricted to Happyville, of course.

OBNOXIOUS STOCKING BOSS TO RUIN YOUR TOWNS! Don't worry, the Giant Snowman also spawns in town! YAY FOR UNSAFE TOWNS! >_>

Oh god, that is going to cause a lot more exp loss >_>.

What does the stoocking drop?
