MapleSEA got Tempest

Well, you'll never know he'll get double presents. Christmas + Birthday!

But you would rather anticipate a buff on Phantom rather another series of crappy nerfs...

Considering that the Phantom and Mercedes rebalance actually had to buff them it's safe to say the only direction is to go up. And as for this update itself, er, the news is taking so long to release we don't have any clue what else is coming out besides the advertised content so I'm going to spend the entire day praying that Aswan was updated to Tempest and not Unlimited.

This event also seems slightly interesting though I don't have any godly gear to fuse:

With every usage of the Fusion Anvil, a craftsman’s gift box will be awarded. Players are able to obtain items like Epic Potential 80% scroll, Pink Bean Hat and mounts.

Note:
-Fusion Anvil will works on Hats, Eye Accessories, Face Accessories, Tops, Bottoms, Overalls, Shoes, Gloves, Capes, Weapons, Shields and Kataras.
-When fusing using Fusion Anvil, the equipment must be of the same category as the appearance equipment. For Example: you can only change the appearance of the sword with another sword.
-Upon dropping or placing the fused Anvil Equipment on a trade window, the original appearance of the equipment will appear.

Oh well, knowing Asiasoft there's probably a lot of awful mounts in that box.
