romaja: Joyuljaui Songil: Seutaposeu) is a MapleStory update following You & I which adds the Star Force Enhancement system, Starstruck locations, Star Planet and several in-game changes.
Part 1: Star Force
Star Force Enhancement System
- The enhancement system is reorganised.
- An alternative to Enhancement Scroll's is introduced, and the system uses mesos.
- When enhancing an equipment, it may be upgraded by a star, remain at the same level, lose a level or destroyed.
- If the equipment is destroyed, an Equipment Trace is provided and scroll and potential enhancements can be transferred to the same type of equipment.
Starstruck Areas
- Stars have struck in several maps around the Maple World, including Minar Forest, Clocktower Bottom Floor, and Dead Mine!
- The monsters there have been transformed into stronger versions of themselves.
- A specific amount of enhancement stars on equipped items is required to effectively attack these monsters.
Maple Rewards System
- A new system called the Maple Rewards System (Mileage System in MapleSEA) is introduced.
- Players can now spend time in-game collecting Mileage and exchange them for items from the Mileage Shop in the Cash Shop.
Other Changes
- Several jobs are reorganized.
- The Evolution System and the Lion King's Castle are revamped.
- New equipment sets for level 120, 130, and 140 are added.
- Other functions are improved, including the Maple Guide, the Blacklist, bosses and elite monsters.
- SP Multi Windows is added to allow players to add in multiple skill points at once.
- The SP distribution has been updated.
- The level up animation has been updated to show the players if they have gained twice the SP or if they have unlocked a new Hyper Skills.
Part 2: Shining Star
- A new cross world area, Star Planet is added.
- Players can play a variety of mini-games such as Star Monsteropoly or Star Game of Yut to earn Star Points that improve their Star Grade.
- Players can earn Star Points to become a Shining Star!
- This is done so by becoming a Top 5 of any of the Star Planet game ranking leaderboards or if players are in the Top 100 of the Star Planet rankings.
- Star Grade is used to attain certain benefits for the player while they are in the Star Planet.
- Star Grade can be increased by earning Star Points from the mini-games.
Part 3: Black Heaven
- The first blockbuster in MapleStory, Black Heaven is added.
Notes
- Global Maplestory released only part 1 and 2 under the name "Shining Star". Black Heaven was released 2 patches after Shining Star (and came after Maplestory X Attack on Titan patch) as a seperate update.
- GMS implemented significant changes in the Star Force system, related to the maximum amount of Star Force for each item. The differences are listed here:
GMS | KMS |
---|---|
Lv. 95 or lower: 5 stars (Superior equipment: 3) | Lv. 95 or lower: 5 stars (Superior equipment: 3) |
Lv. 95 ~ 109: 8 stars (Superior equipment: 5) | Lv. 95 ~ 109: 8 stars (Superior equipment: 5) |
Lv. 110 ~ 119: 10 stars (Superior equipment: 8) | Lv. 110 ~ 119: 10 stars (Superior equipment: 8) |
Lv. 120 ~ 129: 15 stars (Superior equipment: 10) | Lv. 120 ~ 129: 12 stars (Superior equipment: 10) |
Lv. 130 ~ 139: 20 stars (Superior equipment: 12) | Lv. 130 ~ 139: 15 stars (Superior equipment: 12) |
Lv. 140 and higher: 25 stars (Superior equipment: 15) | Lv. 140 and higher: 15 stars (Superior equipment: 15) |
- Those changes were reverted during ARK: Monad patch to match KMS' max Star Force limits.
