Maplestory Jump Update

[Unicow]

This is not my guide. I just wanted to share this with you guys. Also, this won't be out for GMS for a while. Just making you guys anxious

I will be posting the Legend update at a later date because that will make you giddy with excitement or at least it did to me... Days go by fairly slowly waiting for that patch @_@



This patch is part of the three phases from the Jump! update. It’ll probably not be as big as Big Bang and Chaos.
This big update will give MapleStory more class refinements and other new content. Why do I know that there will be more class refinements?

Look at the picture above and you can tell that even in Korean, you can see some text at the top.
In March there will be a patch named 역습의칼날 (Counterattack of the Blade), in April there will be a patch named 각성의주문 (The Spell of Awakening) and the last name of the patch that will be released in May is 질주의화살 (The Arrow of Speed).

The Jump! update will start in March and end in May. The patch with the Warrior restructuring (also known as Counterattack of the blade) happened today so that leaves us with April and May.

I believe that the Magician class will be revamped in April, because only Magicians use spells and magic. And in May the Archer class because they use arrows.

What will happen to the Thief and Pirate class? I don’t know, but they deserve adjustment too. Time will tell.

Counterattack of the Blade

Today MapleStory has been updated to version 1.2.129 and there’s a lot of new content to play with.

- Dragon Pulse and some other similar skills can now knockback monsters in party play.
┕ With ‘party play’, I think they mean party play zones such as Lion King’s Castle, Dark Ereb and other similar areas.

-What is Spiegelman’s Monster Park?-

Monster Park is a new party play zone available from players who are level 20 or higher.
There are three gates you can enter. Each gate has a variety of dungeons you can enter solo or with party members.
The 50% additional EXP applies in this new content.

If you want to enter a dungeon, you will need to have a:

- Zebra Printed Ticket (you can only enter dungeons if you are below level 70)
- Leopard Printed Ticket. (you can only enter dungeons if you are between level 70 and 120)

In each dungeon you have to defeat monsters. The monsters can drop a variety of items, such as potions and unidentified items, Monster Park coins and items that enhance the stats of the personality traits.

The monsters in all Monster Park dungeons are strong and have high HP, but you get high EXP in return.
Currently players level 120 and higher cannot participate in Monster Park.

There will be an update in the future to make Monster Park accessible for level +120 players.

-Monster Park prizes-

For 50 Monster Park coins, you can get a Spiegelman Mustache face accessory. The accessory is time limited for only five days and cannot be extended. The only good thing is that it adds +100 Charm and Charisma.

The second and last prize is available for 100 Monster Park coins. It’s a pocket item. The pocket item is also time limited for seven days, but it increases +30 Charm, Charisma, Insight, Will, Sense and Craft.

The Spell of Awakening

The Spell of Awakening update along with the 8th anniversary event is finally here!
I can smell a bandwagon of Fire/Poison mages coming up.

Like in the Counterattack of the Blade update, a special event called Boom Up is held to celebrate the revamp of Magicians.
In short: when you advance to the 1st job advancement at level 8, you will be rewarded with a Magician’s Ring (adds +100 MaxHP, +50 MaxMP and +3 Magic Attack) and three equipment boxes.
When you advance to 2nd job, 3rd job and 4th job advancement, you will be rewarded with a special 60% scroll (adds +3 Magic Attack and +3 INT) and an x1.5 EXP buff.

The Maple Administrator will give you a list with available Special Mastery Books or 1 Secret Mastery Book when you completed your 3rd job advancement at level 70. Existing players over level 70 will also get this event quest. ^^
Last but not least, Magicians who are level +120 and level up 5 times from their current level will get the same reward (not the Special Mastery Book) when you advance to 2nd, 3rd and 4th job.
This Boom Up event will end on May 11. I think that’s where the Archer revamp will start in the test server.

Anyways, Nexon did some tweaking in this update in the Magician skills.
Unfortunately Nexon changed all party play zones to regular play zones. The affected zones are Ellin Forest, Neo City, Lion King’s Castle and Knight’s Fortress.
The only area where there is party play zone is Monster Park.

8th anniversary~!

8 years!! Wow! I’ve played MapleStory for years now and I’m still amazed that this game keeps me playing…
When Korea introduces the anniversary update, it always reminds me that other versions will soon have their own anniversary updates as well.

In this update, Cassandra gives you her 8th Anniversary Diary. When you open the diary, you will see ten available missions.
The missions are important. If you want a nice reward, you’ll have to complete all missions 8 times.

[ The ten missions located in your diary ]

[ Rising Star ★ ]

There are six missions that can be completed only once per day. I’ll keep it simple and short. You can pick a girl who you’re a fan of.
Lilin, Valerie and Empress Cygnus are the three rising stars in Maple World.
I’m a fan of Empress Cygnus because in the future she’s not a rising star but a badass evil person. So I choose her. ^o^

These following missions can be completed only once per day and they are required to train your idol.

Mission #1: [Vocal] You need to collect 8 different handbells for your idol to train her vocals. Each handbell represents a music mode.
Red colored handbell = Do
Orange colored handbell = Re
Yellow colored handbell = Mi
Green colored handbell = Fa
Light Blue colored handbell = Sol
Blue colored handbell = La
Purple colored handbell = Si
Black colored handbell = Do

Complete this quest and your idol gives you 10 8th Anniversary Maple Leaves and EXP.

Mission #2: [Musical Instrument] You need to collect 8 different music notes from monsters within your level range to train how well trained your idol is with instruments.
Complete this quest and you’re given 10 8th Anniversary Maple Leaves and EXP.

Mission #3: [Dance] Gaga gives you a Motion Capture camera and you have to hold it for 30 minutes. After you have kept it for 30 minutes in your inventory, bring it to the girl you’re a fan of and she gives you 10 8th Anniversary Maple Leaves and EXP.

Mission #4: [Appearance] Your idol is keen on her looks. She gives you a calorie consumption measuring device (which is a device that measures the amount of the calories burned by recognizing the movement of the user) and asks you to defeat 200 monsters within your level range.
Complete this quest and you’re given 10 8th Anniversary Maple Leaves and EXP.

Mission #5: [Popularity] Help your idol to raise her popularity by collecting one Star Cheer Placard from monsters within your level range.
Complete this quest and you’re given 10 8th Anniversary Maple Leaves and EXP.

Mission #6: [Reputation] Your idol is skyrocketing when it comes to popularity, so she has to be careful of the paparazzis trying to film her embarassing moments. Unfortunately Star Paparazzi, the most successful paparazzi in Maple World managed to succeed filming such a moment of your idol and it’s your task to bring the humiliating film back!
Complete this quest and you’re given 10 8th Anniversary Maple Leaves and EXP.

All these missions are repeatable everyday because you have to complete it 8 times.
But wait…! There are 4 missions left. These are missions that can be completed anytime and doesn’t have a limit of 1 completion per day.
However, these missions are much harder than the other 6.

The first mission in the top left corner requires you to use a Palabird’s Feather scroll.
There are two different scrolls. One is the normal Palabird’s Feather scroll which has a 20% success rate of upgrading Maple Beryl equipment into Maple Letinum equipment.

The second is a Shiny Palabird’s Feather scroll. This one has a 100% success rate.
How do you get it? You can either buy the normal Palabird’s Feather scroll from the NPC Inkwell, who by the way, also sells the Maple Beryl equipment and special anniversary scrolls or you can hunt a Palabird for the Shiny Palabird’s Feather scroll.

It’s a perfect opportunity. Because the second mission is to defeat 8 Palabirds. Unfortunately Nexon made their spawn time limited. On weekdays it spawns between 6~10 PM KST and in weekends between 2~10 PM.
The Palabird drops Maple Leaves, Armor & Accessory 60% scrolls and the Palabird’s Feather & Shiny Palabird’s Feather scroll.

In my opinion, the most difficult mission is using the Palabird’s Feather scroll 8 times. Because you have to use it on 8 Maple Beryl items.

You can ONLY buy Maple Beryl armor from Inkwell. He isn’t giving it for free… You’ll have to come up with some 8th Anniversary Silver Coins.

[ 5 8th Anniversary Silver Coins in exchange for 500 8th Anniversary Maple Leaves ]

Anyways, Cassandra can give you 8th Anniversary Silver Coins in exchange for 8th Anniversary Maple Leaves.
These leaves are new, so if you have old ones you can exchange them with Cassandra for the new leaves although it’s not guaranteed you will get all your old leaves converted into new ones.

1 8th Anniversary Silver Coin is worth 100 8th Anniversary Maple Leaves.

Monsters are only dropping 1 leaf so that’s going to be a problem. Although… Bosses and Master Monsters drop a lot of leaves!
And I know exactly at which boss I’m gonna farm me some leaves!

Inkwell isn’t only selling armor, but also special scrolls to commemorate the 8th anniversary.
He sells:

▶ One-Handed Weapon for Attack scroll 20%
▷ Adds +7~+8 Weapon Attack to all one-handed weapons.
▶ One-Handed Weapon for Magic Attack scroll 20%
▷ Adds +7~+8 Magic Attack to all one-handed weapons.
▶ Two-Handed Weapon for Magic Attack scroll 20%
▷ Adds +7~+8 Magic Attack to all two-handed weapons.
▶ Accessory for Armor scroll 20%
▷ Adds +3 STR, DEX, INT and LUK to armor.
▶ Accessory for Attack scroll 20%
▷ Adds +1 Weapon Attack to all accessories (belt, pendant, ring).
▶ Accessory for Magic Attack scroll 20%
▷ Adds +1 Magic Attack to all accessories (belt, pendant, ring).

If the scroll fails, your item gets destroyed.
And Inkwell sells the normal Palabird’s Feather scroll for 25 8th Anniversary Silver Coins.

I think you’re curious about the new Maple equipment aren’t you? I made a nice list. Check it out~

Maple Beryl is the level 45 equipment and Maple Letinum is the level 70 equipment.


So you already know how to get the Maple Beryl armor, but how to get the nice weapons?
It’s not going to be easy…

Every once in a while you might get lucky and a monster will drop a Maple 8th Anniversary Box for you.
You’ll have to get really lucky though because it’s rare in the public server.

When you open the box, you have a chance to get one of the Beryl weapons or if you’re really unlucky, you get some Maple Leaves….
I’ve already said how you can upgrade your Beryl equipment into Letinum. But I’m going to tell you it again.

The only way to upgrade Beryl to Letinum is by scrolling it with a (Shiny) Palabird’s Feather scroll.

[ Full Maple Beryl set ]

[ Full Maple Letinum set ]

A set is considered complete when you have the hat, overall, shoes, gloves, cape, shoulder pad, belt and weapon.
The full Maple Beryl Set gives the following:

AllStat +5
Weapon Attack: +3
Magic Attack: +3
Speed +5
Jump: +5

On the other hand, the Maple Letinum Set gives the following:

AllStat +10
Weapon Attack: +6
Magic Attack: +6
Speed: +10
Jump: +10

When you look back in my diary, there are 2 missions left. One mission that involves with a mushroom and the other with some sort of plant.
Luckily they’re connected to each other.

Monsters in Maple World drop this item called Mini Maple. It’s an item pot, which is a new thing introduced in the second update of the Chaos update.
A new window will open when you double-click the item. Mini Maple has four levels or rather said stages.
You can feed an item pot with equipment and ETC items. If you feed it with potentialed equipment, the blue bar will raise higher than with normal equipment.

When the blue bar is full, the Mini Maple will go to sleep for approximately 21 hours.
There are special items for item pot such as a basket full with hearts that raises the happiness (increases quality of the reward), or an alarm clock that reduces the sleeping time to 30 minutes and more~

Mini Maple has four stages and this is the result of the last stage. ▼

Double-click the Mini Maple and you’ll get a Golden Maple Fruit. Mission completed! Yup, you have to raise the Mini Maple 8 times.
The other mission requires you to use an Orange Mushroom Riding skill. The riding skill is connected to the Mini Maple because the Golden Maple Fruit can give you a reward!

Do you see the Orange Mushroom Riding skill? It also gives other riding skills as well and one of the special 20% 8th Anniversary scrolls or 8th Anniversary Silver Coins.
You only need to use the Orange Mushroom Riding skill once and not 8 times! Thank you for that Nexon. +_+

In the end, when you have all missions completed, you’ll be rewarded with the 8th Anniversary Medal!!

This medal adds:

AllStat: +8
MaxHP: +80
MaxMP: +80
Accuracy: +80
Avoidability: +80
PvP damage: +2

The Arrow of Speed

The final patch of the Jump! update. Adventurer & Cygnus Archers have their skills refined, system improvements and all Party Quests are renewed!
Every Archer is entitled to one SP reset scroll, you can only get it for a limited of time.

Recommended levels have been added to the Party Quests.
I have not tried out all the Party Quests yet.

Read more after the Jump!~

p.s. A poll can be found at the end of this entry. I ask for your vote.

These Party Quests are renewed and the first three are new.

- Ice Knight’s Curse: Recommended for Lv. 30~69
- Kenta in Danger: Recommended for Lv. 120 and higher
- Prison Break: Recommended for Lv. 120 and higher
- Moon Bunny’s Rice Cake: Recommended for Lv. 20~69
- First Accompaniment: Recommended for Lv. 20~69
- Cracked Dimension: Recommended for Lv. 20~69
- Forest of Poison Fog: Recommended for Lv. 70~119
- Sign of the Goddess: Recommended for Lv. 70~119
- Romeo & Juliet: Recommended for Lv. 70~119
- Pirate Davey Jones: Recommended for Lv. 70~119
- Resurrection of the Hob King: Recommended for Lv. 120 and higher
- Dragon Rider: Recommended for Lv. 120 and higher

I’ve heard from friends and guild members that this revamp is a success because the experience gain is fast.
I myself tried out Resurrection of the Hob King Party Quest. What I noticed was that there are only three stages and Shammos walks a lot faster in the right direction.


[Alternative Link]

I gained 2% of experience in almost 5 minutes at level 164. I think that’s pretty good.
This Party Quest used to be very boring and Nexon did a great job renewing this one.

With the revamp, Nexon added a new system. The difficulty rate of the Party Quest depends on the average level of your party members.
For example, three Lv. 130 players can rush through the Party Quest with no trouble. But, if there isa Lv. 150 and 160 in the party, then the Party Quest will become difficult for the Lv. 130 players. The monsters and boss monsters will adjust to the higher leveled players.

The rewards from the Party Quests are completely changed. Better rewards are available. The rewards are basically an upgraded version of the original rewards.
When you talk to Shammos, there is an option you can pick. The option is if you want to obtain a reward.

Number 1,2 and 3 are upgraded Rex earrings. They have a level requirement of Lv. 120 and each color adds +8 STR,DEX,INT, LUK, +10% HP, +1 weapon/magic attack and +100 physical and magic defense.
The fourth option is the Rex’s Hyena mount. I was so happy to see this option, because now you can actually get it from Shammos.
There is a catch… For each upgraded Rex earring, you need to give Shammos 50 Proof of the Hob Warrior.

The Rex boss drops it and if one party member picks it up, everyone in the party will receive one. For the Rex’s Hyena mount, you need 300 pieces…
That means you’ll have to do this Party Quest 300 times. +_+
In case you are wondering, the bag is a Party Quest item bag. You can get it from a special quest that requires you to clear a Party Quest.
In this bag, you can store up to 8 Party Quest items. Proof of the Hob Warrior is one of them. I think other Party Quests have similar items in which you have to trade it for a reward.

Overall, even though I haven’t tried all Party Quests yet, I think Nexon is doing a great job with it. The Rex’s Hyena mount gives Battle Mages a mount they can have since the Resistance class doesn’t have one aside from the Wild Hunter.

There is a new notification system~
Let me first tell you what the five icons mean.
The lightbulb is for quests, the star is for events, the purple G box is from Deia’s G-Potion supply (new guild skill), the PC icon is when you are connected to a PC Room and the heart icon is for Item Pot.

The icons appear on the left side of the scrolls.
It’s an improvement, but now it’s hard to tell whenever I have a new quest available. I’ll get used to it.

A reminder to distribute your AP and/or SP has been added. It’s an exclamation mark.
What do you think? It’s great and all, but shouldn’t they have it added it way earlier?

The user interface of the medal collection has been updated. A few buttons have been added and everyone can now actually see your collection by clicking on your character info. They can see how many medals you have, how they look and what the stats are.
You can now sort your medals by name or date of acquirement.

Do you see that red button? If you tossed a medal away, it will register in your collection. However, now it is possible to get back that medal!
Yeah!~ However, I’m not sure if there are limitations. You have to pay meso and each time the fee goes up. You need to pay 1000 meso for the first medal.
Look in the image above, it says I need to pay 10,000 meso if I want my 3rd medal back in my inventory.
I have a Henesys Donor King medal, but that medal cannot be re-obtained for obvious reasons.

The main point of Jump! The Archer restructuring!
Nexon made some tweaks during the transition to the public server. Check it out~

[Sketchy]

So a new Big-bang.
Hopefully it will even out everything.
Dual-Blade is way too powerful since Chaos.
Theif is at a good level, Mage needs upgrades (Level 8-69).
Edit: This thread just tripled at least

It just quintupled lol and not really another Big-Bang. It just balances out the magicians, warriors, and archers because they have now become inadequate.

[iampoor12345]

Theifs Aren't To Good Now Ethier. There skills have been stolen by so many classes, and without 900bil funding, you're getting no where close to 150k a star.

[Poison]

very long update nice post

[[MPGH]Hero]

CB's still awesome.

This may be true but they are much stronger than other classes in the beginning. Not sure why they didn't update thieves near the end

[Dreamer]

Very nice info. Hopefully the classes will get evened out now.

[[MPGH]Hero]

Very nice info. Hopefully the classes will get evened out now.

I know Can't wait.

[Dreamer]

Very nice info. Hopefully the classes will get evened out now.

mhmm They Kinda even Evans but they made them lower damage now.
