Posted by Kuro
KuroMS Announcements discussion with 1 post about DUAL BLADE FOR EVERYONE - THE P2W AWARENESS EVENT + GO WEST - AUGUST 28, 2026.
THE BLADES BELONG TO EVERYONE NOW. Two blades, one event about the evils of spending money, and a reason to hit level 270. This is the biggest update we have ever shipped. Dual Blade is out of its cage and every player can walk the path. Tomorrow, a suspiciously generous woman named Gia opens her doors to raise awareness of pay-to-win in gaming. And Go West, the update this whole month has been building toward, lands with a level 270 milestone worth the climb. Grab a chair. This one is long. THE PATCH IN TEN SECONDS Dual Blade is released to all players. Any Beginner at level 10 can talk to Lady Syl and take the oath. No special requirements, no catch. The P2W Awareness Event starts tomorrow, August 29. Farm F2P Coins from any monster, buy the F2P Battle Pass, spin Greedy Gia's Gacha, and gamble on three suspicious students. Runs through October 31. Go West is here. The level 270 milestone awards the Go West pocket item: +27 all stats, +27 WATK/MATK, +2,700 HP/MP, and +2% Boss Damage. Legacy EXP is live. Every alt on your account grinds at 4x EXP until it catches up to your highest-ever character level. Check yours with @legacyexp. The Kuro Prism arrives. Dye your gear, hair, face, skin, skills, pets, and damage skins any color you want, including animated finishes. Everything else moved too. Cash Shop waves, account storage without Karma taxes, automatic fishing, boss entry fees deleted, and a bug-fix list that scrolls for days. Patch with the launcher before you log in. DUAL BLADE - RELEASED TO ALL PLAYERS Lady Syl is waiting. She has been waiting a while. The shadow lane is open. Dual Blade was the most requested class we have ever had, and starting today it belongs to everyone. Dagger in the main hand, katara in the off hand, and more mobility than should be legal. How to Become a Dual Blade Talk to Lady Syl as a Beginner at level 10. She stands in Kerning City right next to the Jazz Bar, and in her original spot inside the Thieves' Hideout. Either one works. Starter kit included: she hands you a Fruit Knife, a Champion Katara, and an Onyx Maple Katara cover on the spot. Bring 3 free EQUIP slots. The ladder: Blade Recruit at 10, Blade Acolyte at 30, Blade Lord at 70, Blade Master at 120. Advancements past the first happen automatically, so you never leave the grind to fill out paperwork. The Blade Recruit Trial Between level 10 and 19, ask Lady Syl to send you to the Valefor Strolling Path . Walk in, find Valefor, and put him down. Doing so as a Blade Recruit takes you straight to level 20 . Valefor has been cut down to size for the occasion: level 25 -> 10 and HP 2,500 -> 500. He is a tutorial boss now. He does not love it. Blades at Every Level Road to Oblivion: the full questline runs correctly for every Dual Blade job through the Temple Keeper, and visited-lane teleports are now free (was 500,000 mesos a hop). Katara crafting grew up: the Reverse Katara now carries 7 upgrade slots (was 0), existing untouched copies were repaired, and Katara recipes use the Shield Production Stimulator. Scrolls that say what they do: the Shield Weapon ATT scrolls now identify katara compatibility, and the 60% version gives WATK +2, DEX +2, LUK +2. Tuned for the wide release: Dual Blade damage was rebalanced so it lands sharp but fair next to every other class. Exact numbers live in the Balance Changes section below. THE P2W AWARENESS EVENT - STARTS AUGUST 29 "Raising Awareness of P2W in Gaming." An educational experience. Allegedly. Tomorrow the Donation Hall opens its doors for our strangest event yet. A businesswoman named Greedy Gia has arrived to teach the Maple World about the dangers of pay-to-win, using the only method she trusts: a big shiny menu with prices attached. In her own words: "Other games hide their pay-to-win behind loot boxes and fine print. Not me! That's called integrity. Also profit. Mostly profit." The joke is that everything in her shop is bought with coins you farm for free. The event runs August 29 through October 31 . F2P Coins Every non-friendly monster in the game has a 10% chance to drop one untradable F2P Coin . Kill things, get coins. The oldest economy there is. The F2P Battle Pass Costs 2,026 F2P Coins , limited to one per household. The headline reward is the Kishin Earrings : +5 all stats, +5 WATK/MATK, +55 Speed and Jump, and they are now permanent instead of expiring with the event. Pass holders also receive 1 Surprise Style Box every day on first login. Greedy Gia's Shop and Gacha The F2P Shop stocks month-long conveniences for coins: Hyper Teleport Rock, Pet and Character Vac, Auto All Cure, Auto Pet Feed, and Auto Buff. Android Heart for 5 coins (was 50), the Shade Android for 50, and the two together grant the new Shade since 2024 set: +2 all stats and +2 WATK/MATK. Greedy Gia's Gacha takes 9,180 Blue Gachapon Tickets per spin and pays out White Scrolls, Chaos Scrolls, or a Clean Slate 20%. The 1% jackpot is the Aura Pendant : +5 all stats, +5 WATK/MATK. The Donation Students Three students, Blake, Sinister, and Myra , accept F2P Coin donations in the Donation Hall. Each day secretly follows a MOST-wins or LEAST-wins rule, and you can check today's rule but never the running totals. Yes, it is a daily bluffing game about charitable giving. The top 3 donating households each day receive F2P Boxes on their next login. When any student's pool reaches 100,000 coins , the whole world receives a 2-hour blessing : Holy Symbol, Echo of Hero, Haste, Rage, and +66 MATK Meditation. Then the pool resets and the scheming begins again. GO WEST - THE LEVEL 270 MILESTONE The Go West update is the destination this whole month of patches has been marching toward: a rebuilt endgame item, a new accessory set, and a level cap chase with an actual prize at the top. The Level 270 Claim: reaching level 270 awards 1 Go West , 2 Miraculous Chaos Scrolls, 7 Lucky Day Scrolls 1.7x, and the Symbol of Brilliant Honor chair. Bring one free EQUIP, USE, and SETUP slot. Go West is the Inverse Codex reborn: +27 STR/DEX/INT/LUK, +27 WATK/MATK, +2,700 HP/MP, and +2% Boss Damage . It is the strongest pocket item we have ever shipped. The Miles Accessory Set: wear Go West together with Do or Die and the 2-piece set grants +10 all stats on top. Symbol of Brilliant Honor: claimed at level 270, sittable at level 275. A chair you have to grow into. Flex responsibly. The rest of the westward push, the starter route fixes, spawn density increases, taxi network, and the great NPC reshuffle, is detailed below. LEGACY EXP - YOUR ALTS LEVEL AT 4X Your main did the hard part already. Your alts should not have to pretend otherwise. How it works: every character on your account earns 4x EXP while its level is below your account's legacy level, which is the highest level any character on the account has ever reached. The record never goes down, even if that character is deleted. No coupon stacking: Legacy EXP does not multiply with EXP coupons; you simply get the better of the two. It is also inactive inside Party Quests, Monster Carnival, and Nett's Pyramid. Ironman characters are excluded. They chose the hard road on purpose. @legacyexp: shows your account legacy level and the multiplier active on the current character. A notice also appears on login while the bonus is running. THE KURO PRISM - DYE EVERYTHING Color is no longer a suggestion. The Kuro Prism is a new Cash item: keep it in your Cash tab, double-click it, and start painting. What It Dyes Gear: dye the body art of any equip, and dye its effect glow separately when the item has one. You: hair, face, and skin each take their own dye. Your kit: skills you own, your pets, and your damage skins can all be tinted. Everyone in the map sees your colors. How It Works Full color control: shift the hue, lock an exact hue, and tune saturation and brightness. Two animated finishes on top: Prismatic cycles through the rainbow, and Pulse breathes. 200 DP per dye. Preview is free, reset is free, and the prism itself is never consumed . It is a key, not a potion. Permanent until reset: dyes survive relog, and an equip's dye travels with the item, even through trades. Presets and share codes: save up to 12 named presets per account, pick from 16 curated colors, or trade looks with friends via KP- share codes . Fine print: a prism-dyed hairstyle cannot be saved to the Cosmetic Bank until you reset the dye, and inventory icons keep their vanilla colors; the paint shows on you, not in the bag. MILESTONES The road to 270 got more generous along the way. Level 70: Now also grants 100 Summoning Rocks . Level 150: Now also grants 1 Certificate of Dragon Squad unless already owned. Level 160: Golden Flower Scroll -> 1 Chaos Scroll of Goodness . CASH SHOP AND COSMETICS Donor Pets: 200 pets from Amy's Pet Gacha plus Choco are now 201 direct permanent purchases at 4,500 DP each.
