This is one of those patches where you have to look at the patch notes to see what's really going on:

New Maple weapons

KMST is just announcing its 7th year Maplestory festival, so there are all sorts of events going on for that. There were even new strings added for Maple Weapons, so I'm not sure if these are just rehashes of the old weapons or not. Regardless, here are the names of those weapons:

메이플 파이롭 스태프 (Staff)
메이플 파이롭 모울 (2HBW)
메이플 파이롭 스피어 (Spear)
메이플 파이롭 보우 (Bow)
메이플 파이롭 크로우 (XBow)
메이플 파이롭 스칸다 (Claw)

I'm sure there will be other equips. The actual data for this isn't even added.

------------------------

The new job(s)

Regarding the new class, I can feel it getting closer and closer. They added a few new delay classes:

flamethrower_pre
flamethrower
flamethrower_after
flamethrower_pre2
flamethrower2
flamethrower_after2

Also, we get our first look at one of the skills - Double Jump! This skill animation is listed in the same place as the animation for Flash Jump for Hermits and Dual Bladers:

If you also looked at the traditional extract you would see a new type of bullets was added. So, I'm pretty sure it's going to be a Pirate using guns. However, in the picture so long ago that shows all of the heroes fighting against the Black Magician, that too showed a Pirate using guns to fight the Black Mage. But if this is a pirate and if this is supposed to be one of the Black Magicians warriors, then why is he shown in the image as fighting the black magician? Perhaps there are other legend classes we don't know about.

----------

ItemOption.img

A new img was added to the Item.wz file called ItemOption. Its use seems cryptic to me at the moment. Here's what the file looks like:

Spoiler

First of all, I'm assuming the first number is some sort of ID. Considering it's in Item.wz, I assume it has something to do with actual Items and not equips (if it had to do with equips, it would likely be in Character.wz or Etc.wz).

Furthermore, there are several attributes I have never seen before, and some I don't even understand what it does. I'll write out here many of the newer item attributes and what I think they mean:

incSTRr - Increase Strength Rate - This will increase STR by a percentage
incDEXr - Increase DEX Rate - Increases DEX by a percentage
So on and so forth for INT, LUK, Maximum HP, Maximum MP, ACC, Evasion, WATK, MATK, Physical defense, Magical defense, Hands, even Damage. One attribute doesn't make sense - IncrCDr - What is CD?
IgnoreTargetDEF - Ignores your enemy's DEF - Reduces the amount that enemy's DEF affects your damage
ignoreDAM - Ignore damage received? Not sure
DAMReflect - Reflect damage a la Powerguard
mpconreduce - Reduce the cost of spells
mpRestore - No idea
incMesoProp - Increase the drop rate of mesos (not the actual mesos dropped, just the drop rate of them dropping)
incRewardProp - Increases drop rate for non-mesos
incAllSkill - Add points to all skills in your arsenal
RecoveryUP - no idea

You might notice that in some parts of this ItemOption.img include "attackType". That's in reference to a new img they put in Skill.wz. It can be likened to their previous attempts to add status effects to items. I wonder if these status effects will actually stick this time? They never have before. Remember, they've been trying to do this since before Reverse items came out!

Poison
- Level 1 - Deal 20 damage/sec for 20 seconds
- Level 2 - Deal 40 damage/sec for 20 seconds
- Level 3 - Deal 60 damage/sec for 20 seconds
- Level 4 - Deal 80 damage/sec for 20 seconds
- Level 5 - Deal 100 damage/sec for 20 seconds
- Level 6 - Deal 120 damage/sec for 20 seconds
- Level 7 - Deal 140 damage/sec for 20 seconds
- Level 8 - Deal 160 damage/sec for 20 seconds
- Level 9 - Deal 180 damage/sec for 20 seconds
- Level 10 - Deal 200 damage/sec for 20 seconds
Stun (No probabilities are listed - look in ItemOption)
- Level 1 - Stun for 3 seconds
- Level 2 - Stun for 4 seconds
- Level 3 - Stun for 5 seconds
Slow (No probabilities are listed - look in ItemOption)
- Level 1 - Slow by -30 for 10 seconds
- Level 2 - Slow by -40 for 10 seconds
- Level 3 - Slow by -50 for 10 seconds
Darkness
- Level 1 - Miss probability 70% for 5 seconds
- Level 2 - Miss probability 70% for 10 seconds
- Level 3 - Miss probability 80% for 15 seconds
- Level 4 - Miss probability 80% for 20 seconds
Freeze
- Level 1 - Enemy is frozen for 2 seconds
- Level 2 - Enemy is frozen for 3 seconds
- Level 3 - Enemy is frozen for 4 seconds
Silence
- Level 1 - Enemy cannot cast spells for 4 seconds
- Level 2 - Enemy cannot cast spells for 6 seconds
- Level 3 - Enemy cannot cast spells for 8 seconds

It would appear that everything to do with ItemOption has to do with ItemUpgrade scrolls where you can advance the levels of your item. The great thing about this is that it's not Cash Shop (yet, anyway).

New Skills

KMST added new skills, but oddly enough not for any new class. They added new skills to beginners of all types (Adventurer, KoC, Aran, and Evan).

Haste
- Level 1 - MP -50, For 200 seconds, Speed +20, Jump +10
Mystic Door
- Level 1 - MP -120, Consume 2 magic rocks, magic door lasts 120 seconds
Sharp Eyes
- Level 1 - MP -80, For 240 seconds, Critical Chance +10%, Damage +25%
Hyper Body
- Level 1 - MP -80, For 240 seconds, Increase Max MP +40%, Increase max HP +40%

I'm not sure how one goes about acquiring these skills. I'm sure these skills are for personal use only (Sharp Eyes only works for you, Mystic Door only works for you). These skills would be a powerful addition to any class, and I think the good thing about them is that it doesn't cause other classes to be useless either. Well played, Nexon KR.
