How many stars did they add in this patch? Up to 20 or 25?
It's still TBD, I think. The patch won't be done until like, 10 hours from now (starts in 2 hours), and there aren't any patch notes yet.
According to Uni, the patch contains:
- Uni presents KMS's 25 stars to compare to JMS currently
- CS Premium Arcane Symbol boost items (gives you extra arcane force, the Lach one does not work in Lucid)
- World Transfer Coupons
- Dropped level 3 links to level 2 (Zero and Beast Tamer unaffected)
-- There are packages rewarded to compensate, the best one is 500 Maple Points (possibly would be 5k here because of NX values in JMS), 2 bpot scrolls, 5 lucky miracle cubes (like master craftsman cubes, but they make your stuff untradeable), 8-star Enhancement Scroll, 500 spell traces, and 1 Gaga Coin
Here's the banner they're using to link to the patch notes:

25 stars confirmed.
From what I can tell, CMS and TMS don't have transposition, but JMS does, so I was hoping this might provide some insight towards how transposing tyrants might work with the 25 star system, however, they disabled the ability to transpose tyrants pretty soon after introducing them, like less than 6 months. So finding any tyrant transposed sweetwaters would be unlikely, if not altogether impossible.
The new CS arcane force items aren't in the data yet, just strings. VJ one gives 30 extra Arcane Force and 10% Damage, Chu Chu gives 60 extra Arcane Force and 10% Damage, and Lach gives a whopping 100 extra Arcane Force and 10% Damage, but it doesn't work in Lachelein Clocktower because Lucid's power is too strong. Oh right, and it gives you a 30% discount when leveling up Arcane Symbols. If I had to guess, it's probably like a 2x card type thing.
@Grey, thanks for the info.
Also, question regarding link skills: Spadow was saying something about level 2 of the skills being moved to level 210. Can you confirm or deny that?
Hmm.. I'd be kinda bummed out losing some level 3 links. Hopefully this doesn't happen to gms, but i'm not gonna hold my breath.
I honestly have no idea, but I can try to find something solid.Quote:

It is true that with this update, JMS changed Lv3 Link Skills and shifted them to Lv2(Lv. 210)for the following classes:
The maximum level a Link Skill can be for the above mentioned classes is 2. You'll get the stats according to the level.Quote:
- Cannon Shooter
- Soul Master
- Flame Wizard
- Wind Archer
- Night Walker
- Mercedes
- Phantom
- Luminous
- Battle Mage
- Wild Hunter
- Mechanic
- Demon Slayer
- Demon Avenger
- Xenon
- Kaiser
- Angelic Buster
To compensate for this change, there are 3 types of the "Link Skill Rebalancing Box" which gives some goodies.
I really doubt they shifted level 2 to 210, I think it's way more likely what is meant is what I said earlier, that link skills for characters who are level 210 have been readjusted to remain at level 2 rather than leveling up to 3.
So far, all I've found is this wiki updated last night, post patch, that puts level 2 link skills at 120, still. It'd be nice to have a screenshot or something, though.
The Link Skill Re-Balancing boxes wouldn't even begin to make up for moving level 2 link skills to level 210, they seem like they're more for wasted effort. You get the most basic box just for having one(?) of the link skill classes between level 120 and 209, then the other two are for whether you have 1 to 5 level 210s, or 5+.
I talked to other people and obtained an image and what Grey said is true. Lv3 Link Skills are no more for the classes that I mentioned above. Instead, the maximum level is now 2 and the character level to obtain this remains level 120.
Why Beast Tamer isn't affected is something I don't know, maybe that will change in a later update?
Thank you for double-checking, Spadow.
I wonder why JMS felt removing the level 3 link skills was necessary. But I suppose if that is the price KMS requires in return for 25 stars, most people in GMS would be willing to pay it.
There goes 5% critical rate.
Next time we should probably wait until we have all the facts and confirmation before we jump the gun with such a sensationalist headline XD
Though, I decided to just level a link skill mule to make sure for myself, but this certainly saved me some time.
I dunno why these things are changing either, but with the addition of bonus stats to GMS and the removal of level 3 link skills in JMS, I can't help but think it's no coincidental that it seems like versions are losing the differences from KMS's Unlimited patch they got during Unleashed/Spark.
If you guys ever want Japanese translation help, feel free to ping me. I still look at Southperry every day, even if there's nothing new.
On a side note, I saw this in my e-mail and thought it tempting to try out MapleStory for the first time in years:

A free Water of Life could go miles.
Excuse me, I thought the Cygnus Link skill cannot go above level 2 individually. That's why you had to make more than one.
I thought the same, but after I leveled my wind archer to 210, it had a level 9 Cygnus link (the account the wind archer is on is missing a level 120 Night Walker, or actually, any Night Walker at all for that matter)Quote:

They've added the CS Arcane Symbol items in the most recent CMST patch

They're like 2.5k to 2.9k CMS NX, however much that's worth.
So what exactly do they do? Just give 1 symbol each?Quote:

Like hadriel said, the ones that look like symbols with a bow on them give you a symbol, and for the couponsQuote:
