Dual Blades and Cannoneers are about to get way more awesome. In addition to exciting new skills like Blade Ascension and Monkey Fury, these two stalwart classes are having their old skills overhauled. These bad boys aren't the only classes to get an upgrade—Evan, Mercedes, Phantom, Luminous, Battle Mage, Wild Hunter and Mechanic are getting their skills revamped as well!

Maple World is about to get integrated. No longer will Windia and Bellocan be kept apart like Romeo and Juliet- the revolution is now! With this new update, you can embark on party quests with players from other worlds. The available party quest rotates every 2 weeks, and you can set out on Lv. 50+ quests like "Moon Bunny's Rice Cake" and "First Time Together". Earn EXP and Party Points, which can be redeemed for special rewards. Clear a quest as quickly as possible and you'll have your name entered in the Ranking Bulletin Board for all to see!

Want so bad.
Re: v.148 - Grand Athenaeum Update Highlights
I'm very much looking forward to the evan buff in this patch, would be even better if they included the buff from YOU&I too but I guess not.
Definitely going back to my evan within a few days!
Re: v.148 - Grand Athenaeum Update Highlights
Hopefully this includes the small bowmaster buffing.

Re: v.148 - Grand Athenaeum Update Highlights
Never heard the word Athenaeum before, googled it, found out Athene is a goddess of Wisdom.
the -eum part comes from museums, I guess. which were in turn called Mus-eums because it came from a latin term for a place to worship muses. So an Athenaeum is a place of worship for a goddess of Wisdom. Wisdom = Library.
Maplestory is teaching me things!
Re: v.148 - Grand Athenaeum Update Highlights
According to a post they made on Tumblr, they also decided to go back to the old Inventory UI and we now have KMS's Character Equipment UI, which is awesome!

So that should be in this patch too!
Re: v.148 - Grand Athenaeum Update Highlights
The inventory changes make me happy.
Re: v.148 - Grand Athenaeum Update Highlights
I'm going to miss having that picture of my character in the equipment window...

I don't think it's the 300 damage skin, the colours are different. I want this one too though. Does anyone know if damage skins are seen by everyone, or just the player using them?

everyone sees them
Re: v.148 - Grand Athenaeum Update Highlights
is the dmg skin perm duration or tempo?
also is there a guild revamp along with this patch and family delete too?
so there no way for hero / resistance / Cygnus knight to get 3 tier emblem?

Perma
Right now they can't get tier 3 emblems, And it will take years until nexon releases 3rd tier embelm for them I would bet on 2016.
Also I can't wait until most people will see what world PQ actually is.
Seriously, people think this pomegranate is merged PQ lobby or something .

Except they're not changing the skill UI....? :f6:
Re: v.148 - Grand Athenaeum Update Highlights
Oooh sounds like those classes will be made available, I hope. Last time I played an Evan, I couldn't bare the errors in the questline. I hope they'll fix that.
