So what do you think about these new items? Personally, I think the new weapons look pretty badass, givin that MapleStory is usually "cute-ish" with graphics. It's also nice to see they finally told people where to find each one. They've only done that once or twice I believe in the past. Anyone know what changes were made to the lvl 64 weapons?
On a side note: This will be a new system that was discussed earlier. There will be one thread per month made. Whoever makes the thread must have it detailed. It would be nice if pictures were included as well, like I have done with this one. The thread will be stickied for the month and replaced with the new one the following month. You are free to discuss the Updates/Events/Patch Notes in the thread created.
