Blackgate City World Map
World Select 1: Beast Tamer
World Select 2: Beefy's Kitchen
World Select 3: Blackgate City
New BGM: BgmGL\Blackgate
Catch Your Dreams from FriendStory comes in Korean (with English subtitles).
All events will have or will have already ended by mid September. (so... next major patch that is not related to FIREPOWER will most likely in September. Some FIREPOWER events end on August 4/6, so if there's another patch for FIREPOWER, expect it here)
There's two unannounced attendance events.
Check-In Season 2 A.K.A. Always There Challenge (8/7/2015 - 9/5/2015)
Everyday Endeavor (7/27/2015 - 8/9/2015)
I don't know how Beefy's Kitchen works since it's not mentioned in the update notes but according to the UI it appears you can create items and you can have people feedback on it? It's an event from 7/22/2015 - 9/5/2015.
Parts of Beefy's Kitchen requires you to do some relatively normal things, and some.... not quite.... normal things: pay with mesos, defeat an Elite Boss, pay with Beefy Coins, clear normal Zakum, clear normal Horntail, clear Hilla, defeat an Elite Mob, defeat monsters around your level, pay with mesos and Beefy Coins, clear Chaos Zakum, clear Chaos Horntail, clear Hard Hilla.
Oh wow I was thinking it was like a PQ or something. It's pretty damn big too! I like it. I hope it's a good place to train to replace r+j for those who don't want to get a party, or at the very least a viable substitute.Quote:

If it does, it only scales up to 150.Quote:

I chose a random level 100 mob (9480251 / Name: Plagued) from Blackgate.
LVL: 100 / HP: 65000 / MP: 2800 / EXP: 2001
Here's the mob Rash from Leafre (7130500) for comparison:
LVL: 103 / HP: 150520 / MP: 3000 / EXP: 1789

That's not too bad. Hopefully the maps are large with many spawns. Hate to see black gate be like Commerci where there are so few spawn points.Quote:

Edit: Does it normally get stuck on Character.wz?
I guess it's kind of late to tell you this since the patch is done (sorry :<), but it's better now than later.Quote:

It's usually a good indication of whether or not it's a good idea to patch (if it's not there, that it's likely that there will likely be a checksum error when patching with the .patch file and cause delays in extractions), if they don't have the manual patcher, then make a backup (or if you're on Steam you can wing it and just wait for Steam to redownload the update for you in a couple of hours when they push the update out, lol).
http://download2.nexon.net/Game/Mapl...atcherv163.exe
^ Change 163 to the current version number (as in, the one that Nexon is currently patching to).
If the official Nexon patcher doesn't exist (or is not working for you), check the following:
http://download2.nexon.net/Game/Mapl...2to00163.patch
^ Change 163 to the current version number and change 162 to the previous version number.
*There are times where the patch file will be uploaded but will be taken down. (Also, if you're using a custom patch file detector script (like php in my case), there can be false positives (it'll see that it's there when it's really not)).
Get Fiel's Lite patcher from here: http://static.southperry.net/NXPatch.../NXPatcher.exe (put it somewhere safe, don't move it around, you'll see why)
Run (double-click) the .patch file and when it asks you to set the default program, point it to NXPatcher.exe (don't move NXPatcher.exe or you'll have to reassociate the file).
(You can also skip the above and just drag and drop the patch file into the NXPatcher.exe in your File Explorer but I think it's easier with the above method)
It should only take a few seconds/maybe a minute and you should have the file (it'll ask you if you want to run the pre-patcher, click yes). Run it. And wait.
Tada, good as new!
Hello, fellow MapleStory StrategyWiki editor!
*Note: If it's stuck on a particular patch file (Map, Mob will usually take the longest btw since they're >1GB) and you've already tried the official Nexon one and Fiel's patcher; then that's intended by Nexon and try again in a couple of hours when they upload a fresh copy of the patch file.
Here's the new BGM for Blackgate City. Kind of disappointing how non-KMS content nowadays get shorter and less polished tracks.

I was kind of expecting faster EXP with scrapyard.. sadly I'm disappointed. I get more on 1x at kritias than scrapyard.
I think it all really depends on the teams that manage the version of MapleStory (both the team in NxA and NxK).Quote:

Really?... and everyone hyped the place up to be so good, too :\ bummer.Quote:
