Introduction:

Some brief advice before starting, there is no need to worry about dailies and bosses until you’ve reached Lv. 200 and have obtained your 5th Job Advancement. Even past Lv. 200, focus on training, filling up your equipment slots, and completing pre-quests. Some bosses you could try and fight pre-200 are Normal Zakum, Normal Hilla, Easy Magnus, Root Abyss, Easy/Normal Horntail, Normal Ranmaru, and Ursus

All classes are going to be weak early on, especially if this is your first character. As you reach Lv. 200, enemies will hit harder and be more difficult to defeat. Past Lv. 200, it eventually gets easier but you’ll need to fill up your equipment slots and start upgrading your equipment

Lastly, do not rely on DPM charts or look for the ‘best’ class as to reach that point where you are as strong as DPM charts suggest is a massive time sink. As well, DPM charts do not translate to the actual DPM in-game as they are created under very specific conditions. Choose a class that you enjoy or seems enticing and go from there

Good luck on your Maple journey!!

Job Advancements:

Most classes have Job Advancements at Lv. 10, 30, 60, 100, and 200 where new skills are gained. These are known as your 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Job Advancements

To start your Job Advancement, open your Maple Guide, “U” by default, and click on the button that labelled as “Job Advancement Quest”

[Note]: Dual Blades have two additional Job Advancements at Lv. 20 and Lv. 45. They are an add-on to your 1st Job and 2nd Job Advancements

[Note]: Beast Tamers do not have Job Advancements and instead unlock new skills by levelling up and allocating enough SP into an animal tree. A common build path is Bear/Hawk/Cat. For mobbing or Legion, you can use Bear/Leopard/Cat instead

[Note]: Zero does not have Job Advancements and instead unlock new skills by levelling up

SP and AP Distribution:

All newly created characters (except Beast Tamer) can max all of their 1st – 4th Job skills

A tip for allocating SP is to first put 1 point in everything and then start maxing skills by prioritizing skills that require the least SP to reach Master Level, then passives with useful stats like %Final Damage, %Damage, %Max HP, or %Damage Reduction, then buffs, and lastly attacks

For AP, you gain 5 AP every level up and most classes gain 5 AP each Job Advancement from 1st to 4th. It is highly recommended to use Auto Assign for all your AP

[Note]: For Xenon, distribute your AP evenly between all 3 stats using Auto Assign. The game will let you know when you’ve reached the requirement for the Multilateral skills. Past Lv. 200, you continue to evenly distribute your AP

[Note]: For Explorer Pirates, you will have the choice between Auto Assigning to STR or DEX. Choose STR only if you are creating a Buccaneer and DEX only if you are creating a Corsair

[Note]: For Beast Tamer, you will continue to gain SP up until Lv. 250

Inner Ability:

Inner Ability is located under the Character Stat UI and is automatically unlocked at Lv. 50

Inner Abilities are stat bonuses that work similar to Item Potentials but for your character. They can be reset using Honor EXP

Like Potentials, there are different tiers, Rare, Epic, Unique, and Legendary. You can tier up by using Honor EXP to reset your Inner Ability and resetting will not lower your tier

Link Skills:

Link Skills are unique to each class and can be shared to another character on the same World. Link Skills are mainly passives, however, there are a few buffs too. Upon reaching Lv. 70, a Link Skill can be shared with another character and both characters will gain the effect of the Link Skill. Some Link Skills may have different effects for the character with the linked version

Link Skills improve at Level 120 (Skill Level 2) and in GMS again at Level 210 (Skill Level 3). Explorer and Cygnus Knight Link Skills can stack to increase the strength of the Link Skill by linking multiple times from different characters of the same class group

[Note]: If your Link Skill in the Link Manager is missing, you may have to accept a quest in the Lightbulb tab on the left-hand side of the screen. If you still do not see it, try relogging

Pocket Slot:

Pocket Slot is an additional equipment slot for equipping Pocket Items. The Pocket Slot can be unlocked at Lv. 30 Charm Trait in your Traits Stat located in the Professions UI, “B” by default

Traits are minor stats that provide small bonuses to your character once they reach certain levels. To learn more about Traits, check out: https://maplestory.fandom.com/wiki/Traits

To increase your Charm, use Cologne, Trait Boost Potions found in Event Shops, increasing your Fame level, wearing special equipment or Cash Items, or changing your hair

Upon reaching Lv. 30 Charm, a quest in your Star Event Tab on the left-hand side will appear called Excessively Charming that consists of a bit of dialogue

Gold Emblem + 4th Job

At Lv. 100, a Gold Emblem can be received for free by accepting a quest in your Lightbulb tab on the left-hand side of the screen. Emblems are important and easy to obtain equipment that should be accepted right away. Emblems are special like Weapons and Secondary Weapons as they can obtain %Ignore DEF and %Attack lines as potentials which are important stats to have. Emblems cannot obtain %Boss Damage

Upon reaching 4th Job, you should start upgrading your equipment and Star Force them to 10 – 5 stars. It does not matter if the gear will be replaced, this will help you to defeat enemies

Intense Power Crystals:

Most bosses (excluding Gollux) drop [Intense Power Crystals] that can be sold for Mesos. The price of the Intense Power Crystal will vary based on how many players are in your party, the difficulty of the boss, and if the boss is daily or weekly

To sell your Intense Power Crystals, access the Collector found by pressing the “Quick Move” button located below the minimap from any town. The Collector will accept 180 Intense Power Crystals a week per world and resets on Thursdays 12am UTC

Hyper Skills + Hyper Stats

Hyper Skills and Hyper Stats is unlocked at Lv. 140. Hyper Skills have a passive and active category. Active Skills are unlocked at Lv. 140, 160, and 190. Passive Hyper Skills provide benefits typically to 4th Job skills. 1 SP is gained for your Passive Hyper Skills at Lv. 140, 150, 165, 180 and 190 (total of 5 SP)

Hyper Stats allow you to allocate points and gain stats for %Crit Rate, %Crit Damage, %Ignore DEF, %Damage, and %Boss Damage. As you level up a Hyper Stat, it will cost more to upgrade. Hyper Stat Points are gained every level up and the amount gained increase every 10 levels

Hyper Stats are for rounding out your character’s stats and are dependent on your current needs, thus there is no optimal build. For example, are you optimizing for bossing or mobbing? Do you need more damage? Crit Rate? A useful tool for deciding where to allocate your points can be found here: SuckHard’s Maplestory Calculators

For more info on Hyper Stats, check out: https://strategywiki.org/wiki/MapleStory/Hyper_Stats

Level 140 and Beyond:

Upon reaching Lv. 140, a friendly reminder to fill up every equipment slot and Spell Trace if you are on Regular Servers. Be sure to Star Force as much as you can, with a bare minimum of 5 Stars and recommended 12 Stars. As well, reveal all the potentials on your equipment and try to use cubes to reroll for some %Main Stat or Epic Potential

As well, be sure to complete Maple Tour every day as the main reward is Mesos

5th Job Advancement & Arcane River:

Mandatory Requirements to accept 5th Job Quest:

• 100 Star Force minimum total
• 10 Star Force on Primary Weapon

Requirements to Job Advance:

• After talking to the Memory Keeper and Temple Keeper, you’ll receive a quest called “5th Job: Blessing of the Goddess”. Once you’ve talked to all the Goddesses and completed their challenge, you can job advanced to 5th Job
• Visit Henesys: Bowman Instructional School and press up on the Horizon Portal
  • Talk to the “Goddess of Maple World” to complete the quest
• Visit Dark World Tree: Deserted Camp and press up on the Horizon Portal
  • After talking to the “Goddess of Tynerum”, defeat all enemies and a series of maps after being teleport
• Visit Pantheon: Grand Temple Interior and press up on the Horizon Portal
  • Talk to the “Goddess of Grandis” twice and defeat a weak version of Magnus after being teleported
• Each goddess will give you an Arcane Stone which you can charge up by fighting monsters. Once the stone has been charged, you can use it again to gain some EXP
  • You do not need to charge the stones up to Job Advance

After Advancement, obtaining an Arcane Symbol: To deal damage to monsters in the Arcane River – the main region past Level 200, Arcane Power is required similar to Star Force which you gain from equipping Arcane Symbols

• To obtain your first Arcane Symbol, you must complete the quest “A Greater Power” located in your Lightbulb icon. This quest is intentionally difficult as you have no Arcane Power yet
• [Note]: The symbol you obtain is not a real Arcane Symbol yet until you complete the Vanishing Journey storyline. In the meantime, you must complete the story with the limited Arcane Power you have
• [Tip] If you are struggling to defeat the monsters, there is a Hyper Stat for Arcane Power, allocate some points temporarily until you get enough Arcane Power

5th Job V Matrix + Nodestones:

In 5th Job, you do not gain skills regularly like your previous Job Advancements. Instead, you have “Nodes” which contains a 5th Job Skill. You can equip these Nodes into your V Matrix to gain access to that skill. To gain Nodes, you need to open Nodestones that are obtained from monsters in the Arcane River, Vanishing Journey Weekly Quest, Nodecrafting, and Event Shops

To view your V Matrix, open up your Skill UI, “K” by default, and click to the “V” tab and press the “V Matrix” button at the top

You will notice you have empty slots and locked slots. You gain additional slots as your character levels up which will allow you to equip more Nodes and in turn more 5th Job Skills. Additionally, you can pay Mesos to unlock slots early. To equip a Node, double-click or drag them into an empty slot

All classes have their Main 5th Job Skills that are exclusive to that class. There are also 5th Job Skills exclusive to a certain Class Group like Explorers or Cygnus Knights. Lastly, there are Common 5th Job skills that are available to all classes

You do not gain SP normally like your previous Job Advancements to level up your skills. Instead, you will need to enhance your Nodes to increase a skill’s level. Each Node will have a Rank and EXP associated with it. To enhance a Node, you will need copies of the same Node to gain enough EXP to rank up. Upgrading a Node’s Rank will increase the associated skill’s level

There are 3 types of Nodes:

Skill Nodes: These contain the main 5th Job Skills themselves

• A Skill Node has a max Rank of 25 or Master Level of is 25 (30 with Matrix Points)
• Only one copy of a Skill Node can be equipped at once

Boost Nodes: These are passives that increase the %Final Damage of your 1st – 4th Job Skills. They also provide different bonuses based on the Skill Level of the node such as extra %Crit Rate or %Ignore DEF

• Each Boost Node will enhance 3 different Skills. When you hover over a boost node in your V Matrix, the Main Skill that is used for leveling up a Boost Node will be the skill at the top. You will need multiple Boost Nodes with the same Main Skill to upgrade a Boost Node
• Boost Nodes with the same Main Skill cannot be equipped together
• Each Boost Node has a max Rank of 25 but each boosted skill can reach a Master Level of 50 (60 with Matrix Points) by equipping two Boost Nodes that boost the same skill

Special Nodes: These nodes provide a special effect that trigger once you’ve fulfilled a specific requirement

• They cannot be leveled up and have a timed duration and will disappear
• It is best to disassemble these nodes for Node Shards that are used to craft new Nodes

Matrix Points

Each time your character levels up, you gain a Matrix Point. Matrix Points are used to raise a Node’s Rank but they are tied to the Node Slots themselves instead of the Node. Each slot can allocate up to 5 additional Ranks for a Node. This means each Skill Node or Boost Node can reach a max Rank of 30. You can assign your Matrix Points in the V Matrix by pressing the “Slot Enhancement” button

Node Enhancing

To enhance your Nodes, right-click a Node you want to enhance. Using copies of the same Node you are trying to enhance, you consume the extra Nodes to the gain EXP required to level up a Node. As mentioned previously, to enhance Boost Nodes, you need Nodes with the same Main Skill. All Nodes have a max Rank of 25 meaning each Node provides 25 Skill Levels for a skill

To gain additional Nodes, you will need to open Nodestones which will give you a random Node for your class. You can obtain Nodestones from monster drops in the Arcane River, from the Weekly Quest in Vanishing Journey, Nodecrafting, and from Events

There are also special Nodestones called [Experience Nodestone] which when opened provides an EXP Node that can be used on any Node as EXP. These Nodestones are only obtainable from Events

Node Disassembling

Nodes can be disassembled to gain Node Shards that are used to craft more Nodestones or a guaranteed Node. To disassemble Nodes, press on the “Disassemble Nodes” button beside the “Slot Enhancement” button

You can select multiple Nodes to disassemble at a time or right click to select to disassemble a single Node

Nodecrafting

Specific Nodes can be crafted by pressing the “Nodecrafting” button. To craft Nodes, you will need Node Shards which are obtained from disassembling Nodes

In the Nodecrafting UI, select the Node you want to craft and then press the “Craft” button. Do not press the “Craft Nodestone” button as you will craft a Nodestone instead

[Note]: When crafting Boost Nodes, you can choose the Main Skill for that Node by selecting the desired skill in the Nodecrafting UI

Legion System

The Legion System is unlocked when you have either a total of 500 levels within your World from your characters or have reached Lv. 200 and completed the 5th Job Advancement. You can assign your characters onto a grid to provide bonus stats to all your characters in your World

The “Total Level” or “Legion Level” is based on your 42 highest level characters. The higher your Legion Level the more characters you can assign to your grid. To increase the amount of characters you can assign, [Legion Coins] are given to Dame Appropriation to upgrade your board. Legion Coins are gained passively based on your characters currently assigned to the grid

Legion Coins are also used to buy special items from Squire Pancho Sanza such as:

• [EXP Booster]

Progression towards Midgame:

Spell Tracing in Regular Servers:

Read more : How Many Oz Gloves For Muay Thai

For regular servers, be sure to upgrade all your gear with at least 70% Spell Tracing so that you can start Star Forcing your gear as well. On average, 70% Spell Tracing provides an optimal amount of stats compared to just 100% Spell Tracing your equipment

In Reboot Servers, Spell Traces are unused and can be sold to NPCs for Mesos

You can open the Equipment Enchant menu for Spell Tracing and Star Forcing by either pressing “O” by default or through your inventory by pressing the red button with a hammer

Some ways to obtain Spell Traces are:

• Monster and Boss drops
• Inferno Wolf + Pollo/Frito Missions

Spell Trace Fever:

Occasionally on Regular Servers, there are special events that take place where Spell Trace enhancements have a higher success rate. These are the best times to upgrade equipment you plan to invest a lot of time into. Unless you are planning to perfect a piece of equipment, you do not need to wait for this event to start Spell Tracing

50% Off Spell Tracing:

Occasionally on Regular Servers, during Sunny Sundays, there are events where Spell Tracing will cost half the amount. This is a good time to use Spell Traces on (Ark) Innocence Scrolls or Clean Slates but, Spell Trace Fever is much better still because of the increased rates. Also, using regular 10% Clean Slates and 50% Innocence Scrolls will probably be more cost-effective than using the Spell Tracing versions

Star Forcing:

Once you have consumed all upgrade slots, you may star force/enhance your gear. In Reboot, there are no upgrade slots, so you just star force/enhance instead. Star Forcing costs Mesos that grants increased stats on success

A recommended amount of stars you want for each piece of equipment is around 10 – 12 stars early on but optimally all gear at 12 stars

Occasionally there are events with shops that sell [Star Enhancement Scrolls] which sets an equipment’s Star Force to the said amount. There is normally one that enhances your gear to 17-stars that are obtainable from events if you do not have enough Mesos to Star Force. Past 15 stars, equipment start to see a clear difference from equipment with fewer stars

30% Star Force Discount:

Occasionally on Sunny Sundays, there is an event where Star Forcing prices are discounted by 30%. These are the best times to Star Force if you are trying to reach above 15 stars. If you are just Star Forcing regularly to 12 stars, you do not need to wait for this to happen

5/10/15 Star Force 100%:

Occasionally on Sunny Sundays, there is an event where enhancing to 5, 10, or 15 Star Force, the success rate is guaranteed. This is also a good time to try reaching to 15 stars but is not necessary to start Star Forcing your gear

1+1 Event:

Occasionally on Sunny Sundays, there is an event where for every Star Force enhancement below 10 Stars, you gain 2 stars. This is also a good time to try reaching to 15 stars since you essentially only need to keep trying from 12 Stars, but is not necessary to start Star Forcing your gear

Shining Star Force Event:

Occasionally on Sunny Sundays, the 30% Discount and 5/10/15 Star event may overlap which provides the best opportunity to Star Force your gear especially to 17-star

Bonus Stats:

For now you do not need to worry too much about Bonus Stats and Rebirth Flames. If you do obtain a special rebirth flame, feel free to use it on anything or on regular servers, you can sell them (if tradeable)

Some nice stats to reroll into is your Main Stat, %All Stat, %Boss Damage or Attack/Magic Attack

Some reasons that make certain items better than others (or best-in-slot) include:

• Level Requirement of gear, higher the level, the better
  • Level also affects the scaling of Bonus Stats
• Base Attack value & base stats
  • Higher attack results in higher attack scaling on flames/bonus stats
• Amount of Star Force that can be obtained ( best being 25 stars)
  • This is tied to the level requirement of the gear – higher level, more stars
  • This is the most important factor
• Potential lines that can be obtained
  • This is tied to the level requirement of the gear – higher level, better lines
  • Ex. Higher level potentials provide more %Stat than lower level potentials
• Is a Boss Item / KMS Item
  • These items can obtain higher tiers of Bonus Stats than non-KMS items
• Set bonus effect

Transfer Hammer:

Transfer Hammer is a system that allows you to transfer Star Force, Potentials, Bonus Potentials, and Soul Weapon from one equipment to another (with restrictions). The following will not be transferred, Scrolled Stats and Bonus Stats. Additionally, you will lose one Star Force while transferring and any potentials above Epic will be dropped down to Epic Potential. You can only transfer equipment up to 10 levels apart of each other. For equipment below Lv. 119, you can transfer up to 20 levels apart

Some requirements for Transfer Hammering is that the piece of equipment must have at least 1 Star Force, cannot be Superior Gear (such as Tyrants) and must be the same equipment type (regardless of job group). Overalls can be counted towards both as a top or bottom and vice versa

In regular servers, any remaining upgrade slots will be filled by 100% Spell Traces for free. You can choose which stat you want the upgrades to be. I recommend that you already Upgrade/Spell Trace the Transferring Item first if you do not want the 100% Spell Trace stats

To begin Transfer Hammering, you can access the UI from your Inventory by pressing the blue hammer icon For more info on Transfer Hammer, check out: https://strategywiki.org/wiki/MapleStory/Transfer_Hammer

Epic Potential Gear and so on:

Early game you want to have all your gear at least 9% Main Stat and Epic Potential. You will also be wanting to be working towards Unique Potential gear. Your main focus for this would be to try and get your Weapon, Secondary Weapon, and Emblem to unique first as their potentials can provide special stats like %Attack/Magic Attack, %Ignore DEF and %Boss Damage unlike the rest of your gear. As a note, do not keep %Damage lines as they do not provide as much as a boost as the other potential lines do

Additionally, be sure all your equipment have 3 lines of potential instead of 2. Use [Gold Potential Stamp] to unlock a 3rd line if needed

Do not be afraid to use expiring [Hard Cubes] as it’s better to use them than waste it. As well, take that risk of rerolling your “okay” potentials for “great” potentials as they are easily replaceable (unless you have that 36% main stat)

Some ways to obtain Epic Potential Scrolls are:

• [Reboot] Yu Garden shop
• [Regular] Auction House
• Event Shops
• Elite Bosses
• Pollo/Fritto Missions + Inferno Wolf
• Legion System

Some ways to obtain Gold Potential Stamps are:

• [Regular] Auction House
  • Search for [Perfect Potential Stamp]
• Event Shops
• Elite Bosses
• Pollo/Fritto Missions + Inferno Wolf
• Legion System

Some ways to obtain Hard Cubes are:

• Crafting
• Harvesting from Mysterious Veins / Herbs
• Commerci Voyages
• Bosses
• Pollo/Frito Missions + Inferno Wolf

[ < 2k Main Stat] Earlygame Bosses:

The amount of Main Stat listed is just a safe recommendation, your class may be able to defeat a boss with lower stat if you have the damage or the right mechanics

As well, it should be noted, a better, more general guide would be to consider which floor you can reach in Mu Lung Dojo although neither is perfectly accurate. The best way to check if you can defeat a boss is by trying, especially in Practice Mode when applicable
