Review on Mechanic Patch

Wheeeee finally Mechanic has arrived to MapleSEA after being so long awaited. Though the first day will be very very laggy F3.

Ok to start this off, I'll begin with Mechanic. Though the job maybe overpowered but it really is very slow ;_; It has a skill like combat step for Arans, but it's much much slower as well ._. Using the Drill skill will help you get around a map, but you are bound to miss a few >.> So I suggest you guys Drill then Burn or Hammer them before Drilling again. The job mainly consists of a dex build, since it wields a gun. Good thing about Mechanic is that it doesn't use bullets :P So you can fire to your heart's content without worrying about re-bulleting at the pot shop.

Other than that, the level-ing rate of the Mechanic is somewhat silly O_o. Seriously you can reach level 50 in under 5 hours ._. Much to my surprise at first, but then after a while I got frustrated when I kept getting ks-ed while training, all due to the speed of Mechanics. That's why I abandoned mine in Arcania :P Though another reason for that is because Arcania is kinda desolate F3.

*cough* Moving on.
We ALL remember this when Resistance came right? Another thng is the Resistance Secret Box. Before this it was unable to be opened. Apparently the box is for Mechanic :P Unfortunately the Resistance Ring cannot be stacked, which is somewhat predicted but I'm still disappointed.


3. Evolving Ring Event II ! (Event Period: 06/07/2011 – 26/07/2011)


Due to popular demand, Evolving Ring Event is back!

When you first get it, it will have no stats, but give it time and it will evolve into the best ring you own!
The Evolving Ring can evolve up to 17 times, once per day!

This is what you have to do to start getting your evolving ring:
  1. Log in and talk to NPC Cody at Event Map to receive a ring. This ring will have no stats.
  2. Explore the new Maple World for 1 hour. If you log out not having stayed the full hour, the ring will disappear.
  3. When you have stayed the full hour in Maple World, your ring will evolve into a level 1 ring automatically!
This is what will need to do from 2nd to 17th times of the evolving process:
  1. Log in and tell NPC Cody you want to evolve your ring. He will give you a box.
  2. Explore the new Maple World for an hour. If you log out not having stayed the full hour, the box will disappear.
  3. When you have stayed the hour, the box will automatically open up to reveal a potion.
  4. Take the potion back to Cody to evolve your ring.
Be sure to talk to NPC Cody on the last day of the event, 26th July 2011 to evolve your ring one last time to change your ring into TRADEABLE!


image


Note:
Characters holding on to existing Evolving Ring (tradeable or untradeable) from previous Evolving Ring Event will not be able to get the ring or upgrading potion box from NPC Cody.

Reading the red words make me mad D: But then I realized that you could get it from another character. Imma get one for my Mechanic XD. 

Who remembers the Grendel 6th Anniversary Final Diligent Seeker event?

4. Grendel 6th Anniversary Final Diligent Seeker! (Event Period: 15/07/2011 to 24/07/2011)

image image
 The last sentence really was the last straw ._. Why can't we have this event like last time? One at a time? This one lasts for only 10 days so it's gonna be hard to get the chair if you miss ;_;.

Somehow this event......................... seems familiar. I'm not saying like I've done it before, but somehow this event reminds me of an event we had a while back...... No matter, this event looks fun XD. But the question is the size of the map. I wonder how big it is O_o If it's small then all the people inside (except the wolf) are screwed XD. Good luck trying though :P

And why must The Enlighten Mark (STR) require more medals then the rest? T~T

9. Boss Monster Re-Balance!


All Boss Monsters under the following categories will be re-balance with stronger attack and defence due to game balancing.

• Party Quest Boss Monsters
• Expedition Boss Monsters
• Mini Boss Monsters, example Scarlion, Female Boss, Pianus, Manon.

Updates:
Boss Monster Re-Balance will not take effect during Mechanic patch and delay until further notice. Thank you.

LOL Papulatus will get stronger attack and defence = = Now it's gonna get harder to train :P


10. Other In-Game Changes!


• Crimson Wood Keep Party Quest will be change into an Expedition Mode.
Mark of Naricain Pendant obtainable from Crimson Wood Keep Expedition will be changed to one-of-a-kind item after Mechanic Patch.

image image

Updates
To clear up the doubts raised by many Maplers on Mark of Naricain Pendant, Mark of Naricain obtained BEFORE Mechanic Patch will not have any changes. It will not be stated as one-of-a-kind item after Mechanic Patch.

Only NEW Mark of Naricain Pendant dropped by Crimson Wood Keep Expedition after Mechanic Patch will be stated as one-of-a-kind item.

We hope this clear up some misunderstanding on this issue.



• Sales of Lie Detector Test image will be available from most potion stores in major towns.
• Mini-dungeons with monsters’ level 66 and above will only be available to characters with 30 fames or more to enter.


Finally Lie Detector Test is back = = Now I can get rid of hackers from a map when i want to train :P.
