The newest patch in Tespia has released the final hero, Luminous! This is a mage class and has a new weapon called the Shining Rod! This patch changes certain things about MapleStory!

EDIT: Ahhhh, finally done the post!

Portals have been changed!

All equipment’s secondary stat requirements has been removed, except for Empress equipment.

At certain levels, you will receive extra experience upon levelling up.

Lv. 80, 90: 15% experience

Lv. 81, 91: 15% experience

Lv. 82, 92: 10% experience

Lv. 83, 93: 10% experience

Lv. 84, 94: 5% experience

Lv. 85, 95: 5% experience

Except for Knights of Cygnus and Evan, all job’s third job advancements now occur at level 60 and all fourth job advancements occur at level 100. To account for this, many skills’ max levels have been adjusted. You can see them here.

Phantom skills were also changed a bit, I believe they got nerfed?

Talent of Phantom Thief I/II/III/IV: there is now a 30 second cooldown in between changing skills

The new hero job, Luminous has been added! Luminous’ first job advancement is at level 10, second at level 30, third at level 60, and fourth at level 100.

There are two default hair and eyes.

Luminous uses the Shining Rod and secondary weapon Orb.

It also has a really cool job advancement animation!

Luminous uses a dark/light skill system! When he uses too many light skills, his darkness takes over and increases the damage of his dark skills while decreasing the damage of his light skills. The opposite also happens (as seen in this picture, he’s used a lot of dark skills so the game is telling him to use light skills).

This means in order to do the most damage, you must keep switching between using light skills and dark skills, and you can’t spam one attack!

BIG thanks to Fiel of Southperry for the skill icons and effects!

I uploaded a video of my third job Luminous’ skills as well as a small clip of the third job skills.
