RED micro-site now out!

Just checked the armor levels, nothing interesting there, except the gloves gain 3 levels of 1atk, and 2 levels of 2atk, putting them at 22atk clean with 7 slots.

Unless it was changed, I don't think you do - http://maplestory.nexon.net/community/#%...26nxid%3D6

Oh, that's dumb.

Even with Kanna's inflated range from Haku's Blessing, she's still a weaker class than most, it makes no sense to give Dual Bladers exactly the kind of thing that Kanna needs, when Dual Bladers already have an advantage due to the Katara.

Sigh, thanks anyway

The set's Korean name is 스윙워터 세트 (Swing Water Set?) and there's a white list of items you can transfer stats to (like through this "upgrading" system), which includes all the armor pieces, all the accessories (including a ring that doesn't currently exist), and all the weapons including IDs for a Fan and Katana, even though CMS doesn't have Kanna and Hayato.

There are three variables, NPC Cost, which is 10, and NPC Prop, which is 3, and a prop attached to a certain use item which is set to 50. The item is some kind of purple anvil. Here's the name and description:

继承置换砧子
具有可以把140级、150级道具的能力值转移为160级重击水滴道具的能力的神秘的砧子。

There are special scrolls for them. All Stats +5 for the accessories, ATK/MATK +7 (both) for the weapons, and All Stats +7 and HP/MP +100 for the armor. Unfortunately, they're 70% success with 30% boom on failure. Here's hoping GMS pulls a Gollux scroll and brings over exclusively non booming versions.

Inheritance Replacement Anvil huh, that kinda makes sense, sounds like an NX item though like the other anvils.

It's definitely a use item and not an NX item.

Oh, that's good

Also i'm confused, you mentioned that the ring upgrade is from a ring that doesn't exist yet, but what about the Earring, Pendant, Face Accessory and Eye Accessory (MONOCLE!)? I can't think of any items they can upgrade from.

So...

This patch will make or break GMS.



Please make it good Nexon.

@Grey Hey what are the stats of the level 160 knuckler and the stats of it upon it being at max level? ^.^
If you don't mind telling me.

There's actually a precedence for in-game anvils (gold and silver), and some exist already, but they were never legitimately made available. From what I heard, they have some awfully powerful effects, like transferring scrolling or potential bonuses, and the existence of this new anvil makes me think that they've resolved whatever issue that prevented them from releasing the original in-game anvils (probably by adding limits, like 'only 140/150 items to 160 items').

It doesn't really list what items you can upgrade from, just those that you upgrade to, and I can't find anything on the items you can upgrade from in the data.

137 atk.

Gah, this is even weirder, because the knuckle doesn't have levels at all, it just starts out at 137 atk, with 30% boss and 10% ignore DEF.

137 atk, I meant 137 atk, not 145.

Ah I see, thank you anyway

Also I had no idea in-game anvils existed, I wonder if they were planning on using this system before but couldn't hammer out (ha!) the kinks. It would have been very useful when Fafnir and Terminus items were released, what a shame.

I'm guessing the equips aren't completely ready yet if some have mismatched stats, the same thing happened when Fafnir items were released in GMS, so i'm not surprised.

145 atk.

Whoa nice!! The weapons are better then the fafnir equips, and i was just about to invest in a fafnir knuckle too! I'm so glad i waited it out. And also the weapons don't have levels? only the equipment do?

I see a character card expansion CS item. Did they have these before, or are they new? (For anyone who might happen to play CMS(T))

An item that creates your own personal instance of a map too.

Sorry, I meant 137atk, and no, the weapons (generally) have levels, it's just this specific weapon, the knuckle, that doesn't, it just starts out at the stats it would have if it was fully leveled.

Here's a video of one of those potential switching anvils, created with an item generator over a year ago:

It's a shame they were never obtainable legitimately, they seem like they'd be extremely useful. It appears to wipe the potential from the first item completely though.

Oh alright. I wonder why that's the case... Maybe a glitch or something.
Anyway it's still better then fafnir so i'm happy about it.

From what I hear, %Magic ATT still applies when Haku equips a fan.

Okay, I don't want to get your hopes up, but in addition to the new 25% pass/100% boom scrolls, they also added the 90% All Stats +3/ATK +9, and the 80% +8ATK hot time RED scrolls. Up until now, the 90%s haven't been in the data, so I think it's weird that they would just add them out of the blue like this.

This was also added in the same place the purple anvil is:
封印解除卷轴
解除装备的封印，提升装备的属性。\r\n只能用于封印解除经验值达到100%的装备，解除封印时封印解除阶段有可能下降，请注意。

It has the same icon as the 160 set item scrolls.

And these new scrolls which haven't been added to any other version:

女神的单手武器攻击力卷轴100%
在单手武器上附加提升攻击力的属性。
\r\n#c成功率100%\r\n物理攻击力+5\r\n#

女神的单手武器魔力卷轴100%
在单手武器上附加提升魔力的属性。
女神的双手武器攻击力卷轴100%

That's fascinating, and pretty depressing that Nexon didn't release them (probably because it would hurt their profits)

Interesting, since it mentions you need to have 100% exp on equipment (?) i'm wondering if these equips don't level up as normal, and instead stay at 100% exp until you use this scroll.

I spend way too much time looking at all the unreleased/unobtainable items/maps in the data haha, some of it is really cool. I can't find any other videos of anvils but I'm sure there was another one that worked for scrolls too, like Grey said.

how much are the 8 and 9 attack scrolls

New accessory crafting recipes. Since CMS doesn't have additional options, they didn't add flames obviously. Kinda weird, still looking through them, there's this ring, The Time Traveler's Ring. The stats kinda suck, no potential, but it has a variable I've never seen before, which is related to nebulites, clearly, it's called nActivatedSocket and it's set to 1. Ring's not new.

You mean like, in the shop? They're not in the shop.
