MapleStory 4th Anniversary (ver.70) Update Notes

* EXP has been adjusted!!! Can you believe it? It really is true

* We have adjusted the EXP rate, for our anniversary month. This should help you get to your goal in no time!



I don't think they will stupidly mention an EXP rate adjustment twice. This will imply there WILL be a permanent EXP boost ON TOP o the the adjusted EXP rate for the anniversary month. Hoo-yay!

Either that, or it's just written badly. The first bullet seems almost completed by the second bullet.

Although... yeah, it may be possible.

And anyone have any idea what this "4 candle event" is?

I pretty much agree with you.

And I have no idea about the candle event.

WHATS THE EXP ADJUSTMENT? im so confussed o.o

what time is the patch and when???

hehe your ready to grind your way through monday then Al, well gl lvling, maybe you can get 185 or 190 by the end of the month

what time is the patch and when???

Im guessing sometime between the 5th (end of current events) and 7th (start of new events). As to how long, thats anyones guess untill notice is put up.

Sounds like an awesome patch. But did I see fake bosses in there anywhere?

EDIT: Maybe that's the "much much more part." :\

hehe your ready to grind your way through monday then Al, well gl lvling, maybe you can get 185 or 190 by the end of the month

I wanna try to grind to lvl 100 but i dont think it will happen. i wont set a goal so high

That's not that high of a goal.

You know what, those are great updates indeed, but I'm a little disappointed. Maybe because I didn't try them yet.

Well, I'd like Mu Lung Dojo or something major to be released (like Time Temple - MapleSEA is getting it before us D, but nothing.. D:

Cause it's the anniversary patch. It's still kind of what I expected. But I do expect more next patch. Also they said 'much much more' at the bottom, so you never know.

Gachapon has been updated with all new Crimsonwood Keep Boss Items!

They added it to notice that means those items are in gacha now O,o?

hehe your ready to grind your way through monday then Al, well gl lvling, maybe you can get 185 or 190 by the end of the month

current goal is 183, but yeah im training at least 27 hours of the 36 but well c, wonk wonk i need a SE'r xD

Perhaps the CWKPQ Gacha items will include:
1. Crimsonheart Cloak
2. Blackfist Cloak
3. Goldensoul Cape


Not sure what else they might possibly put in the Gacha...as there are lots of new items such as shield earrings (lvl 100)...but I dont forsee them putting the Mark in Gacha...o.O

I got this from Bonus in CWK PQ.
