GENERAL SKILL - Origin Skill cooldown acceleration (new, affects every class).

Using an Origin Skill now applies a cooldown-acceleration effect for a set duration; while active, using a qualifying skill decreases its cooldown by the cast-animation duration of the Origin Skill. Qualifying: skills with a cooldown between 60 and 120 seconds; for charge-over-time skills, maximum charge time between 47.4 and 103.8 seconds when charge time is NOT affected by cooldown reduction, or between 60 and 120 seconds when it IS.

GENERAL SKILL - True Arachnid Reflection and Solar Crest cooldown 250s -> 230s.

Both are also officially noted as 'Changed so that damage dealt varies by job', which is the umbrella statement covering all 53 per-class retunes in classBalance.perClass.

GENERAL SKILL - Erda Fountain reworked (affects every class).

Can now be re-summoned by using the skill again. Can NO LONGER be used in Boss maps, Mu Lung Dojo or Sharenian Culvert. Removed the effect that activated after defeating a certain number of enemies - Erda Fountain now attacks enemies at set intervals instead. Client-freeze fix for large numbers of hit effects. The boss-map restriction is a meaningful loss for bossing rotations and partly offsets the per-class Erda Fountain buffs.

HEXA Skill - 3rd HEXA COMMON Node added, one per class group (16 nodes).

HEXA Blitz Shield -> Explorer Warrior; HEXA Arcane Overdrive -> Explorer Magician; HEXA Fury of the Wild -> Explorer Bowman; HEXA Shadow Walker -> Explorer Thief; HEXA Pirate's Banner -> Explorer Pirate; HEXA Phalanx Charge -> Cygnus Knight; HEXA Freud's Wisdom -> Hero; HEXA Resistance Infantry -> Resistance; HEXA Defender of the Demon -> Demon (page has a typo, 'HEXA Defender of the DemonI'); HEXA Might of the Nova -> Nova; HEXA Transcendent -> Zero; HEXA Afterimage of the Otherworld -> Kinesis; HEXA Conversion Overdrive -> Flora; HEXA Ring of Samsara -> Jianghu; HEXA Twilight Bloom -> Sengoku; HEXA Lotus Flower -> Anima. NOTE: this is the COMMON node, not the class-unique 3rd HEXA Skill Core that KMS shipped in live 1.2.417 - see upcoming.

Erda Link - 3rd SHINE Skill Stone added: 'SHINE Tree of Stars'.

Communes with the Star Garden to draw forth the power of the Star Flowers; deals damage and increases Attack Power, Magic ATT and Damage. No numeric values published on the page.

GENERAL SKILL - Lotus Flower (Anima common node) reworked.

MP cost 15% of Max MP -> flat 500 MP; can now be re-summoned by using the skill again; can now be used in the air; fixed cooldown not applying when cast while its buff was active.

GENERAL SKILL - Fury of the Wild (Explorer Bowman common node) usable without a summon.

Can now be used even when Phoenix, Frostprey or Shadow Raven are NOT summoned; description changed; movement-display fix. Pairs with the Pathfinder removal of 'Fury of the Wild Tempest'.

GENERAL SKILL - Special Node cooldown and placement rules changed.

Equipping a Special Node now applies that node's cooldown, and extending an expired Special Node while equipped also applies its cooldown; logging back in while a Special Node cooldown is active no longer restarts the timer. Decent Holy Fountain can now be used even if Decent Holy Fountain and Vestige of Divinity are already set up, and can be summoned at the same location as Decent Mystic Door, Bishop's Mystic Door, Cannoneer's Poolmaker Supplies, Mechanic's Open Portal: GX-9, Illium's Crystal Gate and Lara's Manifestation: Where the River Courses. Resistance Infantry now shows remaining cooldown when reused during re-summon cooldown. Descriptions changed for Counterattack I, Grit I, Undeterred (Practice Mode), Blitz Shield, Shadow Walker. Weapon Tempering, Advanced Weapon Tempering, Accessory Enhancement and Advanced Accessory Enhancement effects are now kept after re-logging.

SPECIAL SKILL RING REBALANCE - affects every class, large power swing.

Ring of Restraint: Attack Power and Magic ATT (Lv.6) 95% -> 85%, zone range about +95%, re-cast now recreates the zone. Continuous Ring: duration 8s -> 30s, Boss Damage (Lv.6) 195% -> 54%, cooldown REMOVED, and using skills (with exceptions) now temporarily increases Attack Power, Magic ATT and Boss Damage. Master Level 6 -> 4 with value cuts: Critical Damage Ring (Crit Damage Lv.4 24% -> 20%), Totalling Ring (Main Stat Lv.4 1.6% -> 1.2%), Risk Taker Ring (ATT/Magic ATT Lv.4 40% -> 30%), Weapon Jump S/D/I/L Rings (STR/DEX/INT/LUK Lv.4 320% -> 260%). NEW: an additional Special Skill Ring slot unlocked by equipping a Lv.4+ Ring of Restraint or Lv.4+ Continuous Ring - one Active and one Passive ring, and using the active ring also activates the passive ring's effects. REMOVED: Swap Rings skill, Ring Activation skill, Reserve Special Skill Ring slot, Ring Activation from Buff Favorites. Equipping a Special Skill Ring now applies the maximum cooldown to its usable skill.

Arcane Symbol income DOUBLED; Sacred Symbol income raised 1.5x on DAILIES ONLY; Authentic untouched.

Verbatim: 'Increased the Arcane River Daily Quest rewards for all areas from 20 Arcane Symbols -> 40 Arcane Symbols' and 'Increased the Arcane River Weekly Quest rewards for all areas from 40 Arcane Symbols -> 80 Arcane Symbols' (exactly 2.0x, all areas). Grandis DAILY quest rewards: Cernium 20 -> 30 Sacred Symbols; Hotel Arcus, Odium, Shangri-La, Arteria, Carcion 10 -> 15 Sacred Symbols; Tallahart, Geardock 10 -> 15 Grand Sacred Symbols (1.5x, not 2x). NO Grandis WEEKLY quest increase is listed at all. A case-insensitive search for 'authentic' across the whole 111k-char page returns ZERO matches.

Repo impact lib/symbols.ts already carries the Arcane 40/80 values as VERIFIED. SACRED_DAILY_CERNIUM_UNVERIFIED = 30, SACRED_DAILY_OTHER_UNVERIFIED = 15 and GRAND_SACRED_DAILY_UNVERIFIED = 15 are now confirmed verbatim against the official page and can be promoted out of UNVERIFIED.

EXP REQUIRED to level reduced for Lv. 210-259 only.

Under 'Level-Up Flow Revamp -> EXP Changes: Decreased the amount of EXP required to level up from Lv. 210 - 259'. This is a reduction in EXP REQUIRED, not an increase in EXP gained, and it stops at 259 - Lv. 260+ is untouched. 'If a character's current EXP exceeds the updated level-up requirement, their EXP will be adjusted to the amount required to level up at their current level.'

Caveat All band figures are printed with a '~'. Whether each percentage is per-level or cumulative-to-next-level is not unambiguous in the wording - see unresolved.

Inactivity EXP coupons changed to 3x EXP Coupons (15 min).

24+ hrs inactive: x1; 48+: x2; 72+: x3; 96+: x4; 120+: x5. QoL: Maple Planner Bulk Claim Daily Quests now saves EXP collection status, Symbol collection status and Symbol auto-use settings per character.

Star Catching REMOVED as a minigame; its success bonus is now permanent.

Verbatim, under 'Star Force Changes': '[Updated 9/10/2026] Removed the Star Catching feature from Star Force Enhancement. The increased enhancement success rate from Star Catching is now permanently applied to Star Force Enhancement.' Net effect: success rates are unchanged in practice for anyone who was already star-catching - this is a UX removal, not a buff. The [Updated 9/10/2026] tag means the line was added AFTER initial publication on 9/8, so it is absent from any repost or cache taken before 9/10.

Scope The entire 'Star Force Changes' section consists of that single line. NO change to destruction rates, star costs, safeguard, or the 22-star cap. Every other 'Star Force' occurrence on the page is a Unified Enhancement UI animation improvement, an event reward coupon, a Frieren mission, or a World Leap inventory restriction.

Repo impact lib/starforce.ts already models this (starCatch defaults true, x1.05, note 'per v.271').

Rebirth Flames REMOVED from Boss, Elite Monster and Elite Champion drops.

'The following items will no longer drop from Boss Monsters, Elite Monsters, and Elite Champions: Powerful Rebirth Flame; Eternal Rebirth Flame; Black Rebirth Flame; Unrelenting Flame; Forever Unrelenting Flame; Forever Unrelenting Black Flame; Rebirth Fragment.' Scope is broader than 'boss' - open-field elite farming no longer yields flames either.

Rebirth Flame supply rework accompanying the drop removal.

ADDED: Burning Rebirth Flame and Karma Burning Rebirth Flame; '[Updated 9/10/2026] The reset rates are identical to Powerful Rebirth Flames' (this attribution was CORRECTED on 9/10 - a pre-9/10 reading is wrong). New flames added to the Legion Coin Shop, Monster Collection exploration rewards (Burning + Black) and the Mu Lung Dojo Point Shop (Burning). Karma Black Rebirth Flame purchase limit in the Legion Coin Shop 40 -> 60. REMOVED from Legion Coin Shop: Powerful, Karma Powerful, Karma Eternal. REMOVED from Monster Collection exploration rewards: Powerful, Eternal (incl. Decent and Substantial Exploration Boxes). REMOVED from Monster Park Monday Creation Boxes: Unrelenting, Forever Unrelenting; Tuesday Enchantment Boxes: Powerful, Eternal; Saturday Festive Boxes: Unrelenting, Forever Unrelenting, Powerful, Eternal. REMOVED Powerful Rebirth Flame from the Mu Lung Dojo Point Shop, and Unrelenting / Forever Unrelenting Flame from the Kritias Coin Shop.

Bonus Stats can now be reset with mesos: 3,000,000 per reset, at Black Rebirth Flame rates.

Verbatim under 'Bonus Stat Enhancement Revamp -> Bonus Stat Reset Changes': 'Bonus Stats can now be reset using either mesos or Rebirth Flames.' / 'Resetting bonus stats with mesos costs 3,000,000 mesos.' / 'You can choose whether to keep the bonus stats from before or after the reset.' / 'The reset rates are identical to Black Rebirth Flames.' / 'Players with MVP Gold or higher can reset Bonus Stats 3 times at once.' The keep-before-or-after choice makes this a meso sink with no downside risk, which matters for the meso model.

Guild Noblesse Skill SP reset cost 100,000 GP -> 10,000 GP (GP, not mesos).

Recorded so nobody later mistakes it for a meso change. World Leap meso handling also changed: characters with unclaimed mesos after a World Leap cannot be deleted, and characters who failed a World Leap automatically receive the previously deducted mesos when attempting another World Leap.

NEGATIVE FINDING, and the most important one for the roster stamp: v.270 contains NO general class balance pass.

The table of contents has no balance or skill-adjustment section at all. The per-class headings that do appear (Explorers, Cygnus Knights, Heroes, Resistance, Nova, Flora, Anima, Sengoku, Jianghu, Shine, Friends World) are purely Astra Secondary Weapon eligibility tables - which old secondary transfers into which Astra type - and contain zero skill numbers. The only class whose kit changed in v.270 is Kinesis. For 52 of 53 roster records, v.269-sourced data was still accurate as of v.270.

Kinesis Redux - full class remaster.

Resource system replaced: 'Removed Psychic Points and Kinesis now uses MP.' Hyper Stat pool DF/TF/PP -> DF/TF. Link Skill UNCHANGED (Judgment, passive, mastery 3, Critical Damage +6%). Primary weapon Psy-limiter, secondary Chess Piece, INT/LUK, Friends World, Legion INT +10/20/40/80/100. Skills removed wholesale across every job tier (1st: Kinetic Crash, Ultimate - Metal Press, Mental Shield, Mental Fortitude; 2nd: Kinetic Piledriver, Psychic Blast, Psychic Drain, Ultimate - Deep Impact, Psychic Armor, Mental Strength; 3rd: Psychic Grab, Psychic Assault, Ultimate - Trainwreck, Mind Tremor, Psychic Bulwark, Third Eye, Transcendence; 4th: Psychic Clutch, Ultimate - Psychic Shot, Ultimate - B.P.M., Psychic Charger, Mind Quake, Mind Break, Telepath Tactics, Supreme Concentration, Mind Scrambler, Mastery; plus the old hyper passives). New/retained kit: 1st Psychic Attack, Psychic Force, ESP Booster, Kinetic Step, Defend, Mental Fortitude; 2nd Psychic Rise, Ultimate: Pressure (now passive), Psychic Sprint, ESP Mastery, Pure Power, Mental Strength; 3rd Psychic Fall, Ultimate: Opening, Kinetic Jaunt, Warp, Kinetic Combo, Psychic Reinforcement, Transcendence, Mitigation; 4th Psychic Smash, Ultimate: Gambit, Ultimate: Check, Breakthrough, President's Orders, Clear Mind, ESP Expert, Awakening, Concentration, Critical Rush. Hyper actives are Mental Tempest, Mental Overdrive, Mental Shock. V Matrix rebuilt (new nodes Psychic Shockwave, Psychic Nova, Ultimate: Checkmate, Psychic Castle; removed Psychic Tornado, Ultimate - Mind Over Matter, Ultimate - Psychic Shockwave, Law of Gravity). 6th job rebuilt: Origin 'From Another Realm', Ascent 'Fractal Horizon'. NO damage percentages, hit counts, cooldowns or MP costs were published for the new kit.

Kinesis HEXA Matrix Reset Scroll claim window has CLOSED.

Kinesis characters created before the July 22 maintenance could claim one HEXA Matrix Reset Scroll and one Change Circulator from Maple Administrator. Claim window July 22 (after maintenance) to 2026-09-08 23:59 UTC; scrolls expired 2026-09-09 02:00 UTC. Any planner advice that still offers it is stale as of 2026-09-12.

Erel Light - real numeric skill change shipped as a bug fix in v.270.4.0.

'Resolved an issue where Destruction of Roan could deal an additional hit in certain situations by adjusting the keydown duration from 1.8 seconds -> 1.7 seconds.' Filed as a bug fix but it is a skill-data change. Also 2026-07-23: the final hit of Eternal Guardian was not triggering properly (fixed). Main notes also carry Spear of Lugh fixes.

Assorted in-cycle class bug fixes (qualitative, no numbers).

Dawn Warrior Rising Sun / Falling Moon toggling incorrectly (v.270.2.0). Sia Astelle: Stellar VIII - Sadalmelik not interacting with Decent Combat Orders and not appearing in Buff Favorites with Stellagram Fusion (7/30); some 4th job skills could not be upgraded (8/13). SHINE jobs: Sol Hecate disappearing after V Matrix changes (v.270.4.0). Mo Xuan Righteous Thunder bind duration now stacks with Sol Hecate: Stynx. Evan's Mir respects skill-effect transparency immediately. Luminous Aether Conduit no longer visible on other players' screens. Lynn Light Leap unusable right after channel change or login (8/13). Some summon skill attacks not applying as intended (8/13). Kinesis Origin/Ascent sound reduced during Haste Fever Time (8/13).
