Masteria Expansions, Names and the proof for each

I'm really hoping for Crimsonwood Keep to NOT be a letdown.

Something like that just has to be a high-leveled area.

Yeah, here's hoping they make it not only interesting but a new place for at least 13x+ to train in.

Glad to see you here, Isaac. ^.^

Main reason I wanted a skunk was because of all the awesome things he says.
"Civil Disobedience is every Skunk's right!"
"Where's your Warrior's Throne?"
"Apparently, you never seem to get wet after swimming in Aqua Road."
"Often times, I ask myself, what exactly is in the special sauce?"
He wouldn't say that until level 10, though. Skunk also says things like "CC plz", but most of the time it speaks in very proper and condescending ways. It's funny, all three of my pets are very insulting. XD

My penguin's really insulting, too. I love it! I guess the skunk is from NLC?

Yeah, that's one way to look at it. :p Jr. Reaper talks about the Mansion and asks for "A Prendergast Toy" so it would lead me to believe that the skunk is from NLC's Affluent Tower.

So I guess the pets Nexon America made make comments about Masteria, the place they made. Hehe. :3 Did dragons come out w/ NLC? I don't remember.

I hope not Imagine if maple was 5x times as big as it is now. I hope they come up with more connections in between worlds or we'll be travelling for hours :p

5. Theme Park
The legendary "Cody's Theme Park that has been rumored since the end of Beta. This was confirmed as true by NxProse. The data contains Background images from this area, which were also seen in the EMS event preview for Bastille Day's event. We do not have a name for this area yet, as the BG images in the data are not particularly descriptively named. It IS real, and it will be on Masteria.

Click to see the images from the Theme Park.

Reminds me of Zipangu...

You mean... CODY WAS TELLING THE TRUTH ALL ALONG!?

Seriously though, all this information is great. It looks like gMS has a lot of good stuff in store.

About the Crimsoonhood Keep, didn't you forget mentioning the latest previews of the area? (Which looked damn awesome, IMO)

wow that's hilarious, i totally want a skunk now

i have 2 =D

I just adjusted the first post to reflect our new information. Now that Crimsonwood Keep is 100% confirmed, I've made a "released Expansions" section and moved it to there.

Oh wow. Isaac you never fail to amaze me!

John baricade's bio:

 Spoiler

Scoundrel. Maverick. Dangerous. Charming. These are but a few of the words used to describe John Barricade, of the world-famous Barricade Bros. Treasure Hunting Co. Son of a museum curator and retired archeologist, John and his brother were fed tales of mystic relics, ancient fables and the dangers of the unknown. After earning their degrees in History, the brothers made a promise - to discover the truth of every single legend, no matter no long it took. But first they had to actually find a way to allow themselves to search forever - which meant finding the Fountain of Youth. After a long, 3-year search, they finally discovered the spring of eternal life, deep within South America. After this unprecedented discovery (and a host of lawsuits from angry pharmaceutical companies), they embarked on a long string of discoveries - King Solomon's Mines, the mystery of Stonehenge, Captain Kidd's gold horde, the trove of the Knights Templar, the Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine, the Sphinx Chamber, and countless Spanish galleons. However, the brothers noticed something with every discovery - a strange set of relics that seemed to connect with one another - an ankh from the Sphinx Room matching a staff in King Solomon's Mines, a ring from Captain Kidd's horde connecting to dagger found in the trove of the Knights Templar, and many more. Vowing to discover the truth behind these multiple relics, the brothers split up, vowing to unite once more when either had discovered the secret. Now, after striking a deal with the Glimmer Man to send him any Versal Materia he finds, John creates blueprints for these relics, hoping to find clues to bring him closer to the truth.

I found this thing on the itcg website have you seen it before o.0. it is a pretty interesting read. not sure if it is new or what but i havent seen many people mention it o.0.
the john baricade bio was copy pasted from :http://ww2.wizards.com/maplestory/code.aspx?doc=set1vp1
also what about the set 3 items ?
Umaru

 Spoiler

[Some Taru Children were chosen by the Jungle Spirit to become her disciples, to teach others the ways of the jungle. These Taru would be given an Umaru, and trained to become shamans for the tribe. These staves were attuned to the jungle, and allowed the Taru shaman to draw upon the natural energies of his surroundings. If you find favor with the Jungle Spirit and come into possession of a Spirit Feather (see below), Corrine can send you on a Spirit Quest to allow your Umaru to attain its more powerful Umarusuma form, and then ultimately its Umarumagna form.]

akha

 Spoiler

[The akha is a Taru bow, like the one Corine wields, in its most basic form. It is crafted from the Gobo tree found deep in the Krakian Jungle, which is sacred to the Jungle Spirit. The wood from the Gobo tree is so hard and resilient that even sharpened stone cannot cut thought it. Before a Taru bowyer could begin crafting an Akha from Gobo wood, he would first have to "persuade" the wood to work with him though prayers to the Jungle Spirit, only then, would the wood allow itself to be shaped. If you find favor with the Jungle Spirit and come into possession of a Spirit Feather, Corine can send you on a Spirit Quest to allow your Akha to attain its more powerful Akhasuma form, and then ultimately its Akhamagna form.]

maku

 Spoiler

[The Maku is the traditional Taru hunting dagger. It was rarely used as a weapon, but this dows not mean it is not effective as one, quite the contrary. In fact, one of the most exalted Taru Chieftains, Teharu, favored the Maku as his weapon, over all the other ranged weapons traditionally preferred by the Taru. If you find favor with the Jungle Spirit and come into possession of a Spirit Feather, Corine can send you on a Spirit Quest to allow your Maku to attain its more powerful Makusuma form.]

xaru

 Spoiler

Even though some historians would say that the Taru were primitive, Taru objects such as the Xaru prove these historians wrong. Just look at the ingenious design of this crossbow: powerful, but compact and lightweight! Even with simple materials, the Taru were able to build very efficient tools such as this weapon. If only more people would do their research before drawing hasty conclusions.]

kuma

 Spoiler

[The Kuma is a wrist-mounted projectile slinger, similar to the claws that thieves now use. This weapon allowed the Taru brave to keep his or her hands free, while still having access to quick ranged attack. It was originally made to throw mahekis, which are sharpened obsidian flakes, but it can be retrofitted to throw the stars that are commonly availavle today. If you find favor with the Jungle Spirit and come into possession of a Spirit Feather, Corine can send you on a Spirit Quest to allow your Kuma to attain its more powerful Kumasuma form.]

and finally
Corine and Khafre bio:

 Spoiler

A ranger who believes she is a descendant of the ancient Taru tribe, Corine has come to NLC with her pet orange tiger, Khafre, to learn more about her ancestors. Be sure to seek her out to learn of her search for the Taru. If you happen to come across any ancient Taru relics, she is the one to talk to.

itcg 3 stuff gotten from http://ww2.wizards.com/maplestory/code.aspx?doc=set3vp3
Im not really sure how much of this stuff youve seen before possibly all of it but its all a pretty interesting read.

Woahhhhhhh.
This is crazy stuff.
And skunks seem really cool now. O_O!
My turkey never said anything good. =[

I was happily running around NLC today trying to find something you might've missed (maybe a bit too eager on that part), but I did notice Icebyrd Slimm (NLC mayor) said something about a museum.

Talk to him and select "What is this place?". He'll mention how most NPCs got to NLC, and at some point he'll say:

"About our resident explorer, Barricade came searching for something; he agreed to bring whatever he found to the museum. I'd heard stories about him and his brother when I was still in kerning city."

It's not really proof of anything, and it probably just is something made up so they can describe why Barricade's there; but if a museum's brought out I CALLED IT!

wait lemme get screenies of the set 3 stuff i have all but maku luk

I had always had a feeling the Yetinx was a museum. If not, it could just be a thing which "exists" in the town, but is not an area which is accessible. You've got to consider that this 2D world is real for these characters, and there's simply no way to translate a full-on city into 2D and have everything there, so they just have the noteworthy stuff. Notice that there isn't any housing elements within the town, when clearly all of these NPCs have a home in the city.
