v.157 - Shining Star Update Notes

The loot is not instanced anymore. Went along with Bryan during the stream, we saw the same pirate hat drop.

And to think people were complaining about items being inflated... just wait until they see what happens in a few weeks when there's a much, much lower supply of everything. lol
I'm all for this change though. Having to bring mules just to keep up with everyone else on the market is a pain in the ass. Now I can just solo/duo whenever I damn well please and have a much more enjoyable time doing it, too.

Damage on endgame bosses halved and a loss of 1 extra line of damage.

So paladins are pretty much hitting 45%~ of what they were doing before. (or something) I haven't even tested it out yet >.>

I've seen a fair share of people say it wasn't that bad of a nerf simply because of how it was worded on the patch notes

As for myself, I did about 18m on 10 lines on bosses with resist before the nerf and now I'm doing approximately 10m over 9 lines. 180m ~> 90m

Are you just scrolling trash equips with the trace 70%s (I think that's the lowest, don't remember) and starforcing them or did you already have decently scrolled items beforehand?

A bit of both (nothing end game, mostly clean or terribad scrolled). I think I had around 50% INT, range was around 20k buffed at 110.

Was the Paladin Nerf really that bad? :S

In terms of end game bossing.. yea. They removed the "Elemental Reset" function on Void elemental = no more ignoring Damage Resistance = damage cut by half. Although, while I do not want to create false hype, I've had an optimistic thought that they may bring it back in 5th job (hopefully as a debuff & not a self buff) seeing as 4th now "caps" at level 140, and most end game bosses with such a resistance are 150/160++.

More or less, Joe Tang did the calculations weeks/months before the patch. This only apply to basically the only interesting thing to do in maple after a certain point, end game bosses like magnus, CRA and Gollux (Others include PB and hilla)

Rolling Moonsault doesn't move you as high as before now. Therefore, no more double leap tornadoes after it.

now i can't even login with out getting dc'ed from the login server >.>

A few things I've noticed:

- Reverse/Timeless gear is still Smithable. Abyss/Fearless as well if you had the recipes learned beforehand.
- PB still drops Reverse gear.
- Medals of Honor are automatically consumed on pickup.
- Bosses only drop a single Medal now, and it gives the same amount as a regular one.
- My Codex set got "unequipped", so I had to redo that.
- Speaking of the Codex, mine seems to have gained multiples of everything, it says I have 9381/256 cards collected and 60/72 sets completed.
(I had every card collected including the old Silent Crusade stuff, and every set completed before the patch.)
- Regular EEs have the same description as AEEs now, but the normal boom rate.
- You cannot use souls on an unequipped item anymore.
- The Necro Kitten Scepter and Necromancer's Fan is part of the Necro Warrior set for some reason.
- Fans and Katanas still can't be extracted.

Welp. I can still solo magnus with my crappy 1.5m x 9 damage

Nerf didn't really do anything to my paladin then in terms of what content I can and cannot access. The thing with maplestory is that theres such high jumps in range needed for different bosses, I was never going to solo anything harder anyway :o

- You cannot use scrolls or souls on an unequipped item anymore.

I scrolled a mage cape with my corsair. I clicked the scroll then changed tabs to the equip tab. My pointer turned into a hammer and I selected the cape in my inventory. I then traded it back to my mage and enhanced it.

Ah, okay. Doesn't seem to work with souls though, trying to put this Clever Ark Soul into my fiancee's Scarlet Wand and nothing's working.

evo world has severe time restriction reduction

but i look forward to seeing what the new equips are since i am kinda poor in game

also - ooh the blacklist actually does something now

Nexon has shown some initiative for Mr. Lee Airlines by creating BGMs for it. They sound very 2D-ish (8-bit NES Remixes, anyone?).

Nothing spectacular, but it's something.

Chaos Zakum medal of honor drop has been reduced from 5 to 1.
Normal Von Leon medal of honor drop has been reduced from 30 to 1.
Normal Magnus medal of honor drop has been reduced from 30 to 1.
Normal Pink Bean medal of honor drop has been reduced from 10 to 1.
The medal of honor only give 3-10 honor, instead of the giant version that KMS has.

The magnet in evo lab link 3 now flies around, it still attracts monsters occasionally but they follow it in some flock.

Pink Bean

Previously you could enter the boss fight up to 2 times a day; now you can enter once a day.
The quest required for entry ‘Breaking the Force Field’ can now be completed once a day, as opposed to once every 24 hours.

...............?!

Yeah, Nexon never acknowledged that you could only get the marble once a day, so there was no way to enter PB twice. Even if you had additional entry tickets or whatever they call them.
So now they "changed" nothing except changing the marble quest from 24-hour to midnight reset.

You could enter twice if you got a Marble and then waited 24 hours (give or take) before going in.
