 * [Cygnus Summer Knights] Ver.073
 * 07/29/09 MapleStory Ver. 73 Patch Notes
 * New Content!

MapleStory's first premium class is here. A Cygnus Knights character can be created by any player with a level 20 or above character. All Knights begin at level 1 with the Noblesse job. Once a Knight reaches level 10 they can chose to take one of five new jobs; Dawn Warrior, Blaze Wizard, Wind Archer, Night Walker, or Thunder Breaker. Cygnus Knights characters can enjoy a new quest line, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th job advancements, and 120 levels of content. At level 45 players can now learn the Maker Skill. After learning the skill, player will gain the ability to craft items out of materials found throughout Maple World. Only items level 50 and above can be crafted, and players can only craft items up to 5 levels above their own level. So a level 60 player can craft items up to level 65. Maker Skill can also be used to upgrade crafting materials like gems and to turn unneeded equipment items into crafting material. Blessing of the Fairy is a passive skill that all Cygnus Knights characters receive upon making their first job advancement. This skill increases the stats of both the Cygnus Knights character and the regular character used to create it based on each character's level. If the regular character used to create the Cygnus Knights character is deleted, the Cygnus Knights character's Blessing of the Fairy will remain the same level. If the Cygnus Knights character is deleted, the regular character used to create it will have it's Blessing of the Fairy skill level reduced to 0 until that character is used to create another Cygnus Knights character. Vicious' Hammer is a Cash Shop item that can be used on any piece of equipment to increase that item's upgrade slots by 1. Vicious' Hammer can be used on an item a maximum of 2 times. Items that have had Vicious' Hammer applied to them will not be eligible for MTS at this time. MTS service for Vicious' Hammer items will become available at a later date. Two new faces have been added for each gender to the Henesys, Orbis, and Mu Lung plastic surgeon's regular and VIP plastic surgery. All white lenses have also been added. Green and Pink skin colors are now available at all skin shops in MapleStory. MTS service charge has been changed to a 500NX base transaction fee and a 7% of sale price transaction fee. Bishops have been rebalanced to receive a penalty for using an Elemental Wand or Staff without the Holy element to use Holy skills.
