Share Your Masterpieces!
MMM will introduce a new Maze Tabula duplication service to provide adventurers with a simple and easy way to share their favorite mazes with one another!
For a nominal handling fee of only twenty marbles per transaction, you will now be able to register a Maze Tabula of your choice with the designated MMM duplication NPC. Copies of the registered tabulae—sorted by theme and popularity for your browsing ease—may then be purchased by any adventurer for the low, low cost of only 500 gil. Now your masterpieces of dungeon design can be enjoyed far and wide!
(Note: Copied tabulae can only be used as is; their runes and vouchers may not be customized further. In addition, copies may be used a maximum of five times.)
Materialization Department Gets a Restructuring!
To address customer concern that Materialization Team missions are excessively challenging compared to other MMM services, Goldagrik and the gang will unveil the following adjustments:
- Materials obtained will be automatically and instantly stored with the NPC Stowastiq. - There is now a chance that materials will not be lost when synthesis fails. - The necessary waiting period between synthesis attempts will be shortened from 60 to 45 seconds. - Certain conditions will result in the appearance of a notorious monster which, if defeated, will yield intermediate synthesis materials. (Note: These materials, however, will not be automatically stored, and must be delivered to Stowastiq manually.) - When assigned your final order, you will be able to choose from a list of items. - Base synthesis skill level will be increased for all Materialization missions. This value may be increased even further by adding the appropriate Maze Rune. - Reward items will be increased to three times their previous quantity, and their contents overhauled as well.
Monsters Tamed!
In the upcoming version update, certain monsters appearing in areas introduced since the Wings of the Goddess expansion will have their attack strength lowered. Certain monsters appearing in MMM mazes will be affected by these changes, with the Moblin Marble rewards gained by defeating them adjusted accordingly.
These features are only part of the excitement that awaits MMM customers in the new version update, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled for Part II of the preview!

Nerfing Ixion and Sandworm, or the Beastmen Areas NMs...

You'd better not miss Einherjar ever.
This is what I like to call a fantasy. Not only are they not adding it Einherjar, pretty sure they're just making it a drop off some NM they forget to add in that only pops when the servers are down and no one can get on because Conflicker broke the world.
I doubt they're going to nerf DI/SW since they're so pathetic to kill as it is. More than likely a nerf to the VT-IT Stronghold mobs in general to make them able to be meritted off of? Or at least Strongbox NMs, because they do have a ridiculous attack for no reason.
