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!

Hopefully this includes the small bowmaster buffing.

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!

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!


v.148 - Grand Athenaeum Update Highlights - Jamesie - 2014-03-21

The inventory changes make me happy.


v.148 - Grand Athenaeum Update Highlights - Evolite - 2014-03-22

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


v.148 - Grand Athenaeum Update Highlights - Question - 2014-03-22

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:

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.
