Arch Mage changes

• Big Bang belongs to the Bishop only. It needs no charging: it is a quick burst of holy light around you that strikes up to 10 monsters 4 times. It is quicker than Genesis and covers a smaller area.
• Advanced Mastery replaces Big Bang for Fire/Poison and Ice/Lightning Arch Mages. Any skill points you had put into Big Bang are returned to you when you log in. It is a passive skill learned at the 4th job and can be raised to 30 with skill points, no Mastery Book needed. Each level adds 3% damage to your 2nd- and 3rd-job attack spells (+90% at level 30) and 2% to the damage they leave behind (+60% at level 30):
  • Fire/Poison: Fire Arrow, Poison Breath, Explosion, Poison Mist and Element Composition.
  • Ice/Lightning: Cold Beam, Thunder Bolt, Ice Strike, Thunder Spear and Element Composition.
• Ifrit and Elquines changed owners. The Fire/Poison Arch Mage now summons Ifrit (fire) and the Ice/Lightning Arch Mage summons Elquines (ice). The quest that teaches it and its requirement are unchanged. The Mastery Books keep their old names: a Fire/Poison Arch Mage raises Ifrit with the books named "[Mastery Book] Elquines", and an Ice/Lightning Arch Mage raises Elquines with the books named "[Mastery Book] Ifrit". Each book's description says which Arch Mage it is for; every book is on Mastery Book List.
• Fire Demon and Ice Demon leave a monster weak to their own element: fire for Fire Demon, ice for Ice Demon. Their lingering damage lasts twice as long: 20 seconds at levels 1 and 10, 30 seconds at levels 20 and 30.
• Angel Ray and Holy Arrow fire a second arrow right after the first. Together the two arrows deal 1.3 times the old single hit, and each arrow shows its own damage number. Paralyze and Chain Lightning deal 1.3 times their old damage.
• Poison Mist gives party members standing inside it, you included, +1 weapon attack and +1 magic attack per Poison Mist level (+30 at level 30) while they stay in it.
• Poison works on bosses. Poison Breath, Poison Mist, Element Composition, Paralyze and the Demons' lingering damage now land on bosses, unless the boss is immune to poison. Bosses still shrug off every other status.

★

Different from the original game MapleVerse reworked the 4th-job magicians: Big Bang is a Bishop-only burst, Fire/Poison and Ice/Lightning Arch Mages have Advanced Mastery instead, Ifrit and Elquines changed owners, the Demons weaken monsters to their own element, and poison works on bosses.

Skill notes

• Heal on undead monsters is an attack spell: each undead monster it hits can trigger your MP Eater, like any other attack spell.
• Dispel can be cast while you are sealed, so a Priest can clear a seal from the party. It cures curse, darkness, poison, seal, weakness and slow on you and on party members in its area. It does not cure stun or seduce.
• Maple Warrior does not stack with another class's Maple Warrior. The newest one replaces the old one.
• Buff durations. Every Maple Warrior lasts 600 seconds at level 1 and 10 seconds longer each level: 690 at level 10, 790 at level 20 and 900 at level 30. Every other buff whose top-level duration was between 200 and 599 seconds now lasts up to 600 seconds (10 minutes), with lower levels scaled the same way; Magic Guard lasts 600 seconds at level 20. Cooldowns are unchanged.

Common problems

• The master only talks about advancement. The advancement is the row Talk about my training; quests come first in the menu.
• Grendel only talks about advancement. He also owns the First Training Session, Defeat Faust and Who Broke the Seal of Marbas quests; they appear in his menu first, and the advancement is the row Talk about my training.
• Alcaster's shop is closed. In El Nath, Alcaster opens his shop only after the follow-up quest Alcaster and the Dark Crystal; it sells Holy Water (300 Vesos), All Cure Potion (400), Summoning Rock (5,000) and Magic Rock (5,000). The Book of Ancient quest alone is not enough.
