February is nearly here, and we're giving you a headstart in the shortest month with an update to fix bugs, make improvements and add in a pair of new features to make customizing your MapleStory 2 experience even better!
New Feature: Pet Skin Crafting Scroll
Pets are a core part of MapleStory 2, and leveling up a cuddly combat companion into a powerhouse can boost your abilities in combat. But what do you do if your best brawling buddy isn't the adorable ally you love most? You can now get
Pet Skin Crafting Scrolls from the Style Coin Shop to create your own Pet Skins!
Combat and non-combat pets can have a custom skin made from their look. This holographic skin can be equipped like any other Badge, and will change the appearance of any combat or non-combat pet you have summoned.
Pet Skin Crafting Scroll Details
- Pet Skin Crafting Scrolls can be purchased from Meret Market for 650 Merets or from the Misc section of the Style Coin Shop for 7 Style Coins
- Don't worry, no pets are harmed in the making of these skins! The original pet will remain in your inventory, unaffected by the process
- Pet Skins cannot be sold or traded, but can be transferred to other characters on the same account via the in-game bank
New Feature: House Blueprints
Making a house can be a difficult prospect to tackle, involving placement of a great many blocks and coming up with a layout for the entire site.
House Blueprints are a shortcut that allow expert homebuilders to give those newer to the housing system something to work with, and make a few Merets along the way!
Enterprising designers can enter the Blueprint Designer, where they will be able to design a house in the same manner as the normal design tool, placing currently available blocks into the new house. When you're happy with the design, you can spend
200 Merets to turn your design into a Blueprint, which can be sold to other players through the Design Shop!
House Blueprints Details
- You can preview Blueprints in the Design Shop by clicking on the "Enter Model Home" button, to get a good look at the full layout
- Some decorations cannot be placed in Blueprints, including:
- UGC Decorations created by other players
- Interior Portals
- Trigger Editors
- Event Decorations
- Trophy Decorations
- Assistants
- Cooking, Alchemy and Jewelry Station Assistants
- Mannequins
- Loudspeakers
- If a Blueprint uses blocks that must be purchased with Merets, you will be prompted to purchase those blocks when you use the Blueprint
- The blue "Calculate Estimate" button in the Design Shop will let you know how much those unpurchased blocks will cost
- Blueprints can be used an unlimited number of times
