kMS ver. 1.2.184 – Monster Life & Root Abyss!

 
MapleStory Monster Life
This patch brings to MapleStory Monster Life, an interactive game within the game that is a lot like Farmville, as well as the new area Root Abyss, which finally reveals to us the World Tree! There were also some changes, a new party quest, and some new Cash items so read on!

kMS ver. 1.2.184 World Selection Screen
Here’s the world selection screen for this patch, with the cute boss monsters~
There was also a promotional video released for Monster Life.
Starting Monster Life
Monster Life is a new system in MapleStory that allows you to have your own farm and raise monsters! When you first enter, you’ll choose your farm name (you cannot change it afterwards). Your farm will be shared across all worlds in your Maple ID.
You can enter Maple Life by pressing the Menu > Farm button or using the hotkey.
Monster Life UI
You’ll be able to upload your own profile picture for your farm (it must be a jpeg and if it is larger than 100×100 pixels, it will automatically be resized).
Your farm also has a level, and as you increase it, you’ll gain access to new buildings, quests, a higher monster capacity, and the ability to upgrade your House. The maximum level for Monster Life is 30.
In the top left, the Clover is your farm’s beauty. Buildings and decoration will increase it, and the higher the beauty, the more buffs you will receive. If you hover over it, you’ll see the buffs you currently have.
Gems are the Cash Shop currency for Monster Life, it can be used to buy extra items you won’t be able to purchase with the regular currency. Waru is the regular currency mentioned above, you can gain it by planting crops, producing buildings, and from your moners!
Hovering over the Monster icon will show you all the monster potential you currently have (this will be explained a bit later).
The bottom left shows all your monsters as well as your inventory. The bottom right is the menu bar, with the buttons for your friend list, quests, shop, monster book, and exiting Monster Farm.
Monster Life Social Point
In Monster Life, you can be as social as you want! You have your own profile where you can post statuses and where your friends can post things on. You can have a maximum of 50 friends (since Monster Life goes across worlds, I think this means you can friend people from other worlds?).
There’s even a 1:1 chat, haha.
Using a Monster Box
To get monster for your farm, there are two methods. The first is acquiring Monster Boxes, from either quests or the shop. You can open them for a random monster, after which you can name it! Until January 30, you can hunt monster for coupons that will give you a free Monster Box in Monster Life!
Other Farm Monster Combination
You can also visit another person’s farm to ‘combine’ your monsters with theirs. I say ‘combine’ because everyone keeps their already existing animals, it’s more like breeding, haha. Based on the category of the two monsters as well as their rank, you’ll receive a new monster!
Your monsters must be at least level 3 to be able to combine.
Taking Care of a Monster
To level up your monsters, you can take care of them. As a monster’s level grows, the monsters you will receive when combining with this one will be more rare. You’ll also gain more Waru (Monster Life currency) if you choose to release them.
Playing with a Monster
If you’re visiting someone else’s farm, you can play with their monsters in order to gain Waru.
Monster Potential
All monsters on your farm will have potential, which will give stats to all the characters on your Maple ID. These stats are dependent on the monster’s category and level.
There are two types of categories, general and special. General categories (e.g. slime and mushroom, snail) each have their own stat and you will only gain the bonuses of the highest level monster of that category. Special category monsters each have their own unique potential.
Monster potential does expire, and a monster will not disappear when its potential expires.
Monster Release
Sometimes, you’ll want to release a monster because its potential expired or you need room for a better one. In that case, right click the monster and select release. You’ll receive Waru based on its level and rank.
The new area, Root Abyss, has been released! It is located in Sleepywood. When you log in, if you’re level 100 or more, you’ll receive an urgent summoning from Nineheart, who will tell you to investigate the mysterious area.
The animated video for Root Abyss is the most epic MapleStory related thing I’ve ever seen, it was great! I really loved the background music~
World Tree Guardian
This icon will appear on the right side of your screen from now on, which you can click to hear the story of Root Abyss or get warped instantly to the Colossal Root map.
World Tree Alicia
In Root Abyss, you’ll hear the voice of a girl, “Please… get me out of here…”. This is Alicia, the World Tree and the Transcendence of Life! A long time ago, she used up much of her power and decided to rest in Sleepywood. However, soon, the newest commander of the Black Mage, Damien, sealed her inside.
Now, it is your job to help save the World Tree from the darkness!
Root Abyss Seal Guardians
Damien has left four Seal Guardians, and you’ll have to defeat them all in order to release Alicia. This includes the Bloody Queen in Queen’s Castle, who will switch between four forms when you’re fighting her. Vellum in the Abyss Cave will constantly burrow in and out of the ground. Pierre, in the Afternoon Tea Table, will continuously change hats, causing you to heal him if you attack. Von Bon, in the Crevasse of Time, will lay down special clocks that will increase or decrease the timer when fighting him.
To fight them, you’ll need an Old Tree Key which you can buy from Havis in the Colossal Root map, and be in a party of 2 to 6 people all over level 100. You can enter these bosses any amount of times per day but once you defeat them, you can’t enter until the next day.
Chaos Modes of these bosses will be added on January 31.
Root Abyss Boss Rewards
Root Abyss Boss Rewards 1
Each boss can drop a hat in the shape of themselves, Vellum’s hat has 10 slots, haha. They can also drop a chair!
  • Bloody Queen: Queen’s Tiara, Scary Queen Chair
  • Pierre: Pierre Hat, Joyful Pierre Chair
  • Von Bon: Von Bon Hat, Together with Von Bon Chair
  • Vellum: Vellum’s Helm, Strange Rock Chair
Fedric de Blanc
Sometimes after defeating a boss, you’ll see Fedric de Blanc, he sells rare and powerful items. They are all in limited stock though!
Star Potions
This includes the new Star Potions, each of which as a strong effect. For 1 hour, they can increase your attack and magic attack by 20, your chance to find Epic items, your chance to find Unique items, your amount of monsters’ defense ignored by 20%, or your damage to bosses by 20%. These cannot stack with each other and only work in Root Abyss.
