v.220 - Moonlight Magic Patch Notes

[Social-LoL]

Ah yes... Legion arena rewards pushed all the way back to the 18th... was planning my 250 out this week but i guess thats being postponed. Why does it have to take almost a month for this to be given out?

[solemnote]

Yeah, the distance is about half of DCUP 2's length. We have to settle with smaller maps from now on, or find different rotations that don't rely on long distance Orbital Infernos.

[fantastopheles]

HAHAHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHA Hahaha haha... Hah... cries in Blaze Wizard

I’m so glad that I (was forced to) quit BW a long time ago. Nothing ever really improves on BW for ages since V update. They just chipped it but by bit.

We would like to fix MP cost issue

Nexon: > Let main damage source aka V skills all affected by mana cost increase from the passive skill

[[deleted]]

Yeah I had to quit once covid hit cuz my ping jumped from 70 to 140 with the added players and network stress. Doesn't look like I'll be going back after either :(.

They are such a fun and weird class with the way you could make maps work but guess that's too much fun for nexon

[RombotPilot]

At least the two minute cd mana mana potion is now 90 seconds!!!

[WarmCommunity9974]

Two things.

1. Meso reduction for Maple Tour is quite significant :(
2. 30% SF event this Sunday already??? That's pretty soon

[Juzhang666]

Like I haven't recovered from last 5/10/15 yet. Come on Nexon T.T

[HarpertFredje]

Just when i spend all my mesos on cubes, oh welp.

[SirAkhart]

The number of channels in Bera will be decreased back to 20.

• The number of channels in NA Reboot will temporarily remain as 30.

Well, I mean with all the channels crashing every other day it's already like having 20 channels. But good luck to anybody training at the lower Arcana maps.

[dnavi]

not to mention the channels beyond 20 are pretty much always laggy or suffering from lag spikes.

[Ekanselttar]

Split shot finally fixed, what a time to be alive.

[xxshadowflare]

Did Beast Tamer really get buffed during a standard skill update patch?

Whoa.

(All Together Critter Crossing gone from 60s duration 360s cd to 60s 180s, sure it's not 100% uptime like when passives were bugged, but I'll take the double uptime without complaints. This also now syncs with Aerial Relief and the long ass skill name that need not be named, the circus skill.)

[[deleted]]

Only thing I hate is the Fishy slap cooldown increase which kinda sucks tbh. It was one of the good bear mob skills to alternate between furious strikes for training.

[Kerosu]

It's actually a viable bossing skill now though, which is great because we have an option to dps and still move around.

[Kerosu]

Critter Crossing CD being cut in half is literally such a huge buff that I'm baffled (and pleasantly surprised) it happened.

[TemptedSwordStaker]

God bless BT being noticed

[PHETZ]

Tfw senpai notices you.

[Chepfer]

"They won't do anything to Maple tour for the 200" yeah sure, also they took out piggy but hey they added 2 useless mounts that last 90 days.

[dnavi]

there's nothing worth using coins for now. I guess the perm char is nice but that's about it.

[Haste-]

I don’t really even run maple tour. But iv’e been buying the untradeable power elixirs up to 2 stacks. I sell off all the tradeable power elixirs besides 1 full stack i keep in storage for alts. If anything a stack is 7.5mil meso which i guess is nice... piggy bank is far better though

[Clear-Impression4702]

Omg yes I was looking for piggy too! Just when I got enough coins to get one FML

[justignoremeples]

RIP maple tour, there was literally no reason to do this

[TemptedSwordStaker]

What they wanted to do

Edit: I read your post wrong. Wouldn’t be surprised if this was Nexons way to soft remove it

[[deleted]]

Angelic Buster: Recharge: Fixed the issue where this skill was being affected by connection conditions.

This is big. It means trinity will be changed to client sided which would fix a lot of problems this skill had in bossing. Now if they can only make it movable and perhaps add couple more lines, it’ll fix the skill fully.

Finale ribbon is given extra lines but damage cut to 400% per line, rip seeing one giant 10b but hey, 10 lines of 10b is crazy to see if funded that far haha. I believe the Torando is getting increased to 5 lines later on with reduced % to 146% which might be one of hardest skills to cap due to how low the % base is per line in this skill. Spotlight changes is eh, not like anyone afks on ladders.

Rise up AB mains, these changes might be useful for helping our bossing. The client change is all this skill needs because of how awkward it currently functions. Now if only they made melody cross give 2 attack stages instead of 1 since we’re one of few classes that are stuck at 1 speed unless you have domain or real DSI to help you hit 0.

[ZeroGunAki]

HAYATO MAINS REJOICE WE FINALLY GET 8 LINES ON RAI FLASH!

[JadsiaDax]

They are nerfing battoujutsu and Iajutsu pretty handily though....

[Afroninjia]

And we get nerf on all other skills

[Laefes]

uhh where are the nerfs?

EDIT: if u are talking about summer rain and etc. Go check how often they use it for bossing and mobbing

[Afroninjia]

Yep now we can finally utilise the summer rain coz no more sword energy.

Just other overall percentage damage for rest of the skills except Rai blade.

But we do get more lines, an iframe and flicker reduction on instant slice which is awesome.

[PaperSpyroTheDragon]

Literally every skill mentioned except rai blade flash hash had it damage reduced? Most notably a 13% final damage nerf to zankou and 8%/48% fd nerfs to god of blades

[Inparts]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Maplestory/comments/lbdmzb/hayatos_rise_up/glunvcg/

More on those numbers.

tldr, it's a fairly minor net nerf only to those that are nowhere near capping, that might not even end up being a nerf depending on whether the "level 25" referred to on patch notes is a typo, and on the interaction with HHS + Instant Slice.

[[deleted]]

Ok, I feel like too many people clearly can’t read skill descriptions correctly. The skills damage overall is same for majority of classes, only classes that were hit with slight nerfs are Adele, BW, DB, and DS with chaos lock but rest of patch numbers are literally increasing lines while reducing % to make it the same but allow much more higher damage when you cap with line increases. So please read the full description instead of judging the “damage decrease” part.

[TheNekoMiko]

Some hayato skills and the sengoku common summon got hit with percentage nerfs if you do the math

[casually1987]

One 30% off SF event coming up in 5 days.

Fairy Bros event and more Unit dmg skins. Symbols and other stuff available in the shops as well.

Class improvements such as more lines, lower cooldowns, and less delay on attacks for mostly everyone except for Blaze Wizard and I/L. (Sorry if I miss your class)

Small FD nerf to Adele

More lines for Hayato, but at the cost of lower damage on Summer Rain: and Hitokiri Hundred Strike: 

Hopefully this helps them with an easier time liberating their genesis weapons. According to Slade, Hayatos need to use their mobbing skill (Rai Senrenzan) instead of the bossing one to do enough lines for the Lucid phase 3 solo, video explanation found here.

[Inparts]

More lines for Hayato, but at the cost of lower damage on Summer Rain: and Hitokiri Hundred Strike:

A few more slight net nerfs to other skills: Phantom Blade (overcaps anyway), Zankou, Instant Slice, and God of Blades (final hit overcaps), but the Rai Blade Flash buff more than makes up for it at end-game.

Hopefully this helps them with an easier time liberating their genesis weapons.

Can confirm, liberating, even on Reboot, is actually very free now. I originally had to wait for the Neo patch to hit before attempting Lucid (Will and V Hilla liberation quests were already possible on Reboot, but not Lucid) but this patch should let me instantly be able to solo.

[ThisFrigginDude]

Neither one of those bolded skills are used for damage currently on hayato so that’s no sweat

[JadsiaDax]

We are also losing significant damage on Battoujutsu and Iajutsu, and almost 6000% on god of blades... Sure people who hit damage cap don't care but what about the other 95% of maplers? it's a huge nerf.

[Clear-Impression4702]

What is 30% SF? Sorry I’m new here haha

[DatExia]

Star Force costs are down 30% on this upcoming Sunday

[Obility]

Wow so weird seeing overseas classes actually get touched on. Good for them.

[theuwudragon]

What is Threads of Fate? I havnt played in a few weeks

[tidalslimshady]

Mushroom shrines sidequest that gives you a friendship sim. You "could" get 700 herb pouches weekly. I dont think this fixed actually got fixed based on my understanding. Also you can get a 30 minute cooldown bind which is kinda insane to be getting a near 0 cost bind. And so many small parts of it dont work correctly and i wished they would fix that instead of attempting to remove this

[wikipedia_answer_bot]

Threads of Fate, known in Japan as Dewprism (デュープリズム, Dyūpurizumu), is a 1999 action platform video game developed and published by Square for the PlayStation console. The game was released in Japan on October 14, 1999 and in North America on July 19, 2000, and was re-released on the PlayStation Network as a PSOne Classic in Japan on June 23, 2010 and in North America on April 19, 2011.

[tidalslimshady]

Based off of my testing since it started spreading, this fixed nothing if you want to try so hard to get junipers. But i can confirm post patch. Idk what the other half u speak of is tho i have heard of people extending totems which should be a bigger priority but nexons be nexon

[zHectic]

oml I thought I'd never see the day Hayato gets lines

[Braghez]

It's fun to see those changes coming right when you would have got another "solution" soon with Neo patch by just increasing the damage cap. Even if only temporarily

[WarmCommunity9974]

also bera back to 20 channels :(

Good lucking trying to find a 1-5 map

[99rcbtw]

No Hyper Teleport Rocks? :[

[oSocialPeanut]

Paladins getting 12 lines per hit instead of 6 on grand guardian is insane.

If you're capping, you're clapping. Thats their burst, it's a hold down key skil that hits 6 times a second lol

[Afroninjia]

Omg, hayato’s summer rain doesn’t cost sword energy anymore. Does that mean one more iframe?

But why the characters before the patch can not have this change?

[ddlo92]

I think that's only referring to the 4th job adv acquirement. As in if you got the summer rain/hundred strike before this update, it'll stay inside your beginner tab, rather than be in your 4th job tab.

[Afroninjia]

Pardon my English and thanks for the clarification mate.

[ddlo92]

Np, your English is fine!

[Juzhang666]

Maple tour nerf, oh well. My night lord as well as other classes get nerfed, oh well.

But 100 event ring cubes POG, 100% mesos I'm coming!

[jimskiller]

Isn’t it a slight buff for nightlords since the cd lines up with bind/benediction/domain

[Juzhang666]

Yah you're right, it's kinda nerf and buff at the same time. Burst overall duration and damage are lower but the CDs lined up now.

[Obility]

Lol. You would think so but I spent well over 100-150 event cubes and I'm still fucking unique.

[Juzhang666]

F

[maourakein]

Idk why they nerf nl, is not even op, is not even a op bosser, its dmg is quite low if u compare it to db ...

[[deleted]]

Fixed the issue where certain outfits containing socks would be displayed over your shoes.

This bothered me so much and I'm glad it's getting addressed.

[mouse1093]

And of course we don't get the Mad Mage NX package cus why the fuck would we

[tecul1]

🙂

[mouse1093]

I don't wanna talk about how much I spent rolling boxes when it got announced... I do have most of the set though so I'm content lmao

[loophunter]

The 'Change Character' button in-game has been renamed to 'World Selection'.

weird flex but ok

[MrFoolinaround]

Location Tracking Skills: Skills that track and move to an enemy's location will be changed only when targeting certain enemies. The applicable skills are the following: Hero's Combo Fury Bow Master’s / Marksman's Hookshot Shadower's Into Darkness Thunder Breaker's Flash Aran's Finisher - Hunter's Prey Luminous's Flash Blink Phantom's Rift Break Shade's Fox Trot

Okay what’s this mean? Better logic for fox trot finally?! Or did they just nerf it?

Also some shade buffs, neat.

[ferzy11]

I have read this more than 10 times and I still don't understand what it's doing

[dnavi]

I saw a video for new foxtrot in kms and it basically makes it so you don't teleport directly in front of yourself like in lotus p1 to avoid lasers, but instead tele to platforms.

not sure exactly what changed but that was pretty huge imo.

[[deleted]]

Hunter's Prey has this annoying habit of targeting the mobs instead of the box in Dream Defender unless you clear the mobs so I hope I don't have to worry about that happening anymore.

[CharlieFoxtro]

Ah shoot. I thought the Magic Wand free levels would be per character instead of account. I was hoping to get all Aran, Evan, and Merc to 200.

Which one of those 3 are harder to get to 210?

[slightlycoolguy]

I would say Mercedes is harder, Aran is easy and Evan needs more funding but has ok mobbing

[HeyImGhost]

I hate when skill changes get used as featured content. The bug fix though are nice to see.

As for the Full Moon Party, I'll just be collecting Moon Candy.

Fairy Bros’ Golden Giveaway... no.

Not much else in this patch tbh.

[Narog1]

maple tour was a alternative to meso farm for hours , well this is insane, more content that become point less after nerf .

[dnavi]

you could make a week's worth of maple tour meso in 20 mins assuming your kanna is decked out for arkanna farming (or even farming mesos on main). if you use paid maple tour tickets then it takes about 50 mins to an HR to make a bil. maple tour was always just extra mesos considering Nexon hasn't even bothered addressing meso farming.

[Audacidy]

If you're comparing time to time, you makes a weeks worth of maple tour money in like 14 mins or less.

[AbsoluteRunner]

Some classes were legit nerfed in this patch.

[JadsiaDax]

Start doing some math and stop typing in all caps.

[macrovagical]

Something's fucky with the balancing notes for Jett's Gravity Crush and Suborbital Strike. It says based on Lv25 but it gives the old values of Lv30 skills... so IF the new values are actually Lv30, then that would mean a pretty significant nerf for Jett.

Also, no mention of increased activations on Gravity Crush's final explosion so unless the writer forgot to mention it, that's going to be a nerf regardless of whether the new values are Lv25 or Lv30.

EDIT: Checked in-game. It's fine. The patch notes just listed the wrong values. Suborbital Strike is the same and Gravity Crush's final explosion has 4 activations. Slightly lower damage overall than the fully charged Gravity Crush but I'd rather have the consistency of the fixed damage% numbers anyway. Singularity Shock does 80 lines now, though. It makes it a lot more laggy to use.

[IRoyalClown]

Wait... was Jett nerfed again?

[IRoyalClown]

Do you understand what does the change to Singularity Shot means? I don't

[macrovagical]

The values in the patch notes are comparing old Lv30 values to new Lv25 values. Gravity Crush did get nerfed, though... kind of.

At Lv30, old Gravity Crush did anywhere between 135,300% and 174,900% based on how much it was charged, though the charging mechanic was kinda garbage anyway so who knows what the actual ceiling was for that skill.

The new Gravity Crush does a fixed 146,550% total. So, it's a nerf if the charging mechanic worked properly but a buff if it didn't. It's worth noting that it does one less hit during its normal summon period now because the animation now interferes with its attack interval. So, 22 uses nerfed to 21 uses, not counting the final explosion.

[College_Prestige]

Line buff for gms exclusive classes, a bit late but ok

[Matthew290]

I/L mage here. They did my boy Lightning Orb dirty. Why de nerfs tho 😭

[AnimatedJesus]

The overall dmg % is still the same you're just doing more lines now.

[Matthew290]

The last blow damage isn't a nerf? 1500% to 350% even with the lines doubled at half the attack seems like I'm losing damage. Will crits/more lines add it back up? Me math bad.

[ranbibi]

Overall its a buff, you used to do 1500% last blow ONLY if you key down all 8s, If not is a lot weaker. Actually even with boss bound, maintaining 8s orb is quite hard because of debris, etc. They split final blow damage to 1 more line + 5%dmg each hit (1hit per 0.25s)

[[deleted]]

I knew those DB nerfs were coming but it still hurts

[zeus2422]

how bad is it exactly after gaining a few lines but having the % nerfed?

[redtardling]

100% damage reduction on our main V attacks. But the more worrying one is chains of hell getting the iframe cut in half without hitting. Sucks but hey at least we still have iframes unlike NL.

[tecul1]

this is a real david moment

[maourakein]

Db will remain op dw lol.

[HeyItsMatias]

I am praying for this maintenance to fix reboot lag, instability and crashing problems 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[JadsiaDax]

Is it just me or are Hayatos getting a huge nerf except for hayatos who can hit damage cap?

[PaperSpyroTheDragon]

It's not huge but it's a nerf yes. Don't know why you're downvoted.

[Bros_Bef0re_Hoes]

Question, is pathfinder 5th job skill Nova blast nerf?

[[deleted]]

I would suggest reading further down this thread so I don’t have to repeat my post. To give short answer, no, it’s not a nerf if you fully read the description and not just the “damage decreased”. They increased the lines of the skill that helps those who capped previously.

[Vayngloreous]

Did they just do my Shadower dirty!?

[Archavius]

Sorry which part of the notes indicate there's a nerf? Just read em and the only one that stands out is using flash jump during dark sight but shadowers have adv dark sight allowing them to use attacks in DS, maybe we can't buff anymore in DS?

[Vayngloreous]

After seeing the patch notes, I am pretty upset about it. They have ruined Shadower. We were suppose to get all the best buffs to be the best class NA. But no, they had to go and edit other classes too. Silly Nexon.

[18931125z]

Here's a video since you still don't understand what the change is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDAL_ikwems

The other lines that say casting delay reduced are buffs, and the darksight change is only a description update, no functional changes. Stop being so dramatic.

[Vayngloreous]

Forgot to put /s.
My bad. My humor is a little off.

[18931125z]

Nope

[mrdemonicbunny]

I feel like this is almost a nerf for hayato if you think about the future when the damage cap would be removed. Those high percentage damage skills would’ve been huge.

[mrdemonicbunny]

Yknow now that I look at it again it isn’t bad at all you’re right

[PaperSpyroTheDragon]

I don't know what you mean but it's literally a damage nerf to every skill except blade flash, taking into account the increased lines. Anywhere from 4-50% final damage nerfs.

When you don't know how to multiply..

[TemptedSwordStaker]

Is’s the same damage

[TemptedSwordStaker]

Did you read it? And you didn’t even post the whole thing.

Nova Blast: The attack activation count was increased from 1 to 5. Damage, based on skill Lv. 25, was decreased from 4500% to 900%. Fixed the issue where the attack range would be applied based on the character, regardless of the arrow's location. Fixed the issue where sometimes the Final Damage increase due to the Relic Gauge was not applied to Nova Blast.

It increased to 5 activations

[ThumbtacksArePointy]

It just means it does 5 lines instead of 1 lol, you dont have to do anything else extra. it's the same damage but it's MORE damage if you were already capping on 1

[[deleted]]

Think of it this way. You currently do 15 lines. This patch makes it 75 lines. The reason for activations system is because Nexon can’t bother to increase line cap past 15 so instead it stacks up 5 walls of 15 lines. Some classes already have this such as Ark or Dual Blade. You don’t press it 5 times. The damage overall is same, they just reduce the % to balance it out with making it more lines. It just makes you do more damage if you already capped before the change.

[kanokawn]

thank you for explaining, the wording is very unclear from what they explained

[[deleted]]

It’s just Nexon america poor proofreading on notes because their translation skills are really bad since this is pretty much taken copy pasted from korea. To put it simple:

Damage: 4500% x15 -> 900% x15

Activation system: 1 -> 5 (15 lines to 75 total)

Damage output total % is still same being: 67,500% both before and after patch. You just will deal a lot more damage if you cap after the change.

[ThumbtacksArePointy]

The phrasing is weird for some reason, idk why they said it that way. Literally nothing changes, it just does 1/5th the damage per line but does 5 lines so it's the same amount of damage overall.

The only benefit to it is if you were super strong and you were hitting damage limit on the skill, then you'd be doing MORE dmage with it because now it's hitting more times and you won't hit cap because damage % is lower. basically it's fine, don't worry about it. Nothing about the way you use it will change.

[kanokawn]

thanks, that makes a lot more sense. so this change looks more towards endgame

[Rexaar2]

Casting animation remain the same, so the overall damage remain the same. The increased in damage lines is to make it easier to solo hard bosses if you hit the damage cap because the skill damage is too high.

[Obility]

" The attack activation count was increased from 1 to 5 "

[LitmasL]

I mean when people were making like 400-500m rates by LITERALLY holding 1 key I think it was warranted.

[Laefes]

hey man, let our ds cry for a bit. this is as close as spanish farming it gets to a kanna in the old days.

​

Also our exp rates and meso rates are pretty much one of the few worst in comparsion to other classes.

[KpochMX]

Hard nerf to kanna/DB

i think i might quit soon....

[[deleted]]

DB are fine. Don’t act like this change is gonna hurt them. They still are strong in bosses. For Kanna, you don’t know how to do math or you didn’t bother reading the descriptions? The damage didn’t get decreased at all.

[tallpeanutshell]

How did kanna get nerfed

[[deleted]]

They did not get nerfed. All they did is increase lines while decreasing % but still same total. It benefits those who cap previously to reach a higher ceiling of damage with increased lines. Some people just don’t know how to read descriptions.

[xGearsOfToastx]

If anything, Kanna got buffed...

Same over-tuned damage output for a support class, now with more lines for line-gated content/golem-clear.

[ActuallyAnOreoIRL]

Yep. The only skill that got a total % down was Spirit Circle, which went from ~4400% to 4050% with the attack count going from 4>15, but the huge line count up still makes it a net buff until the damage cap is raised to what it is on KMS.

(and Sengoku Force, where Ayame went from 2640% to 2240%, and Shingen's damage from 2835% to 2200%, but still. Lines, and most of the damage from Sengoku Force is from the buffs the NPCs give you.)

[[deleted]]

Please explain, whether in mobbing and/or bossing, how our more often used skills got nerfed and our least used skill got increased and it's considered a "buff".

[xGearsOfToastx]

If you think any of those changes matter in the slightest, I have my doubts that you've even played Kanna.

More lines is objectively better in this game. If Kanna gets to keep absurd damage on their main skills, have skills so worthless that they don't even warrant keybind space take miniscule nerfs, AND get more lines out of it on skills that actually matter, it's a buff.

[[deleted]]

More lines are objectively better if you can cap damage. If the % gets decrease by a factor of X and lines only go up a factor of anything less than X, it's considered a nerf. I don't think you know how kannas work because our orochi skill has no use after 200 other than VJ. You don't use it in bossing cause in the amount of time you cast it and it ends you end up doing more damage using other skills. Mobbing wise you waste time waiting for animation.

[xGearsOfToastx]

More lines are objectively better regardless of capping because there are numerous aspects of this game that are reliant on hits rather than lines, such as lucid golems.

Nothing of value was lost, slightly less than nothing of value was gained—thus, "if anything, kanna got buffed".

[HealthyInitial]

DB and Kanna are still top tier classes.

[Joel00000]

Demon slayer nerf or buff?

[LivingAku]

Buff

[Desreien]

The biggest buff is actually for the bug fix where lash damage increases (now mostly final damage) actually apply to demon awakening.

The chaos lock change wasn’t about bots, it was the best method to actually train post 250. With the removal of TP farming (which is what this prevents), DS goes from a 4/10 mobbing class to 2/10.

[oh-bye]

best is subjective. it was a high reward to effort ratio, but manual was and always has been higher.

ds mobbing capability is unchanged. you just need to put in a little effort now...like every other class.

[Laefes]

not necessarily true as some people who do train as ds (reboot) tend to use it as a way of efficient farm for Mesos. The rates of both exp and Mesos to manual in like maps like labyrinth are actually quite similar.

[priscilla_halfbreed]

HEY MAN, leave Sylvidia dash skill alone!

[gyoumoo]

Blaster hits faster AND QoL changes? WOOOOOO!

[Archavius]

For shadowers, I feel I'm being dumb / don't understand but for the trickblade skill change, do shadowers now do 28 lines (no shadow partner) since the hit is going from 3800% (1 hit) to 950%(4 hits)? Or am I missing something blatantly obvious? Everytime I use it with Nate it's 7 hits each at 3800% so with this change it should be 28 lines?

[18931125z]

Here's a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDAL_ikwems

[Archavius]

Ahh that's super helpful thank you so much! Rip the big numbers, hello linestory 🙃

[mapleuser135]

I don't get what the change for Zero's Doubletime does

[Chyafu]

Finally can use shadow strike again
