The first patch of this year’s winter update, MapleStory Adventure, has been released! It is titled Momentum and contains a ton of content reorganizations/improvements, a new theme dungeon, and the beginning of the Adventure events.

In addition, Nexon added the assets for the new class in this official server patch!! The new class is confirmed to be called Pathfinder, and is an Adventurer archer class!

The update is split into three patches:

Momentum (January 10)

(January 10) Pathfinder (January 31)

(January 31) Squad (February 28)

Here’s the assets that were snuck into the patch files! I think it’s for an upcoming pre-creation event as this class will be coming to the official servers on January 31 (so KMST on January 17 or 24 probably!). I’ll translate the little blurb that they have on the character creation screen.

Pathfinder A curious adventurer fascinated by ancient relics. They are an archer who can use ancient power due to the effects of a curse obtained while on an expedition. Wielding an exclusive weapon, the Ancient Bow, their special characteristic is linking 3 basic archery skills in battle to charge up the Relic Gauge, which allows you to use powerful skills. Attack: 4/5

Defense: 2/5

Mobility: 4/5

Difficulty: 3/5

So basically, the third archer adventurer is literally an adventurer, and gained their weapon (a new one!) while on an expedition (which I assume will be its tutorial).

Adventure Coin Shop

The Adventure Island Coin Shop is where you can spend your Adventure Coins! Talk to Black Bean in Adventure Island (he couldn’t miss the fun!) to see the shop.

By participating in the various events on Adventure Island, you can collect Adventure Points. 100 Adventure Points will automatically be converted into 1 Adventure Coin. The daily limit on Adventure Points is based on your current Adventurer Tier.

Black Bean’s shop also has different items on sale for each Adventurer Tier, so you will have to increase it to gain access to certain items.

Some of the items in the shop are chairs which you can use in the Adventure Dining Room. The food sets will give you experience every few seconds (up to 8 hours per day) while the performance sets will give you Adventure Points every few seconds. The higher tier they are, the more they will give.
