Introduction
This is not a step by step guide instead, a guide to useful content and systems for progressing in MapleStory
Some brief advice, don't worry about dailies and bosses until after Lv. 200 and 5th Job Advancement. Even past Lv. 200, focus on levelling up, filling all equipment slots, and completing pre-quests
All classes are weak early on, especially if this is your first character. As you reach Lv. 200 and beyond, enemies will be stronger and tougher but, it eventually becomes easier
Choose classes that you enjoy or looks enticing. Don't rely on DPM charts or look for the 'best' class since to become as strong as they are suggested 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
Good luck on your Maple journey!!
Job Advancements:
Most classes gain new skills through Job Advancements at Lv. 10, 30, 60, 100, 200, and 260. These are known as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th Job Advancements
5th Job and 6th Job both have unique skill systems that are different from your 1st - 4th 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 that are an add-on to your 1st and 2nd Job
[Note]: Zero do not have Job Advancements and instead unlock new skills by levelling up
SP and AP Distribution:
All characters can max all 1st - 4th Job skills
A tip for allocating SP is to put 1 SP in each skill and then max skills that require the least SP to reach Master Level, then passives, buffs, and lastly attacks
AP can be assigned using "Auto Assign" in the Character Info UI. 5 AP is gained each level up and 5 AP each Job Advancement from 3rd - 4th Job
[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, choose STR only if you are creating a Buccaneer and DEX only if you are creating a Corsair
Inner Ability:
Inner Ability is located in the Character Info UI and is automatically unlocked at Lv. 50
Inner Abilities are rereollable stats similar to Item Potentials but tied to each character. They can be rerolled using Honor EXP
Similar to Potentials, there are Rare, Epic, Unique, and Legendary tier stats. You can tier up by using Honor EXP to reroll your Inner Ability and rerolling will not lower your tier
Link Skills:
Upon reaching Lv. 70, each class has a Link Skill that can be shared with another character where both characters gain the effect of the Link Skill
Link Skills improve at Level 120 (Skill Level 2) and in GMS again at Level 210 (Skill Level 3)
Explorer and Cygnus Knights Link Skills can stack to increase the strength of the Link Skill by linking each unique class
Pocket Slot:
Upon reaching Lv. 30 Charm Trait, the equipment slot for Pocket Items is automatically unlocked
Traits located in the Professions UI, "B" by default provide special bonuses upon reaching certain levels like unlocking Pocket Slot or increasing %Ignore DEF
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
To learn more about Traits, check out: https://maplestorywiki.net/w/Traits
Gold Emblem + 4th Job
At Lv. 100, a free Gold Emblem is given by accepting a Lightbulb Quest on the left side of the screen. Emblems are important because like Weapons and Secondary Weapons, are the only equipment that can obtain %Ignore DEF and %Attack potential lines
Emblems cannot obtain %Boss Damage
Upon reaching 4th Job, you should upgrade all equipment and Star Force them to 10 stars if possible. It does not matter if the gear will be replaced, this will help you to defeat enemies
Intense Power Crystals:
Most bosses drop [Intense Power Crystals] that are sold for Mesos. The price of the Intense Power Crystal is determined by the difficulty of the boss, if the boss is daily or weekly, and the number of party members when clearing. The crystals are divided into the following categories:
- Daily
- Weekly
- Monthly
Intense Power Crystals are sold to the Collector by pressing the "Quick Move" button below the minimap from any town. The Collector accepts 180 crystals a week per world and resets on Thursdays 12am UTC. However, the Collector will only accept 12 weekly crystals
Hyper Skills + Hyper Stats
Upon reaching Lv. 140, Hyper Skills and Hyper Stats are unlocked. 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 points are gained each level to allocate into stats like %Crit Rate, %Crit Damage, %Ignore DEF, %Damage, and %Boss Damage. As you level up a Hyper Stat, it will cost more to upgrade. The amount Hyper Stat points gained increases every 10 levels
Hyper Stats 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 or 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, remember to fill all equipment slots and Star Force each equipment to at least 12 Stars. As well, reveal all the potentials on your equipment and to use cubes to reroll for some %Main Stat or Epic Potential
For more info on enhancing equipment, check out https://www.grandislibrary.com/contents/upgrading-enhancing-equipment
For extra mesos, equipment, and Mystical Cubes, try the following bosses from the < 2k Main Stat section of the Bosses
As well, complete Maple Tour every day for Mesos
5th Job Advancement & Arcane River:
Mandatory Requirements to accept 5th Job Quest:
- 100 Star Force minimum accumulated 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 in 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 weakened 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 effectively damage monsters in the Arcane River, Arcane Power is required similar to Star Force which you gain from equipping Arcane Symbols
- To obtain your Arcane Symbol, you must complete the quest "A Greater Power" located in your Lightbulb Quests. This quest is intentionally difficult as you have no Arcane Power
- The initial 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:
Unlike previous Job Advancements, in 5th Job, skills are gained from equipping "Nodes" into your V Matrix to unlock new skills and passive boosts to 1st - 4th Job skills. Nodes are gained by opening Nodestones that are obtained from monsters in the Arcane River, Vanishing Journey Weekly Quest, Nodecrafting, and Event Shops
To view your V Matrix, open the 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. Additional slots are unlocked as by levelling 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 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
SP is not gained normally like previous Job Advancements to level up your skills. Instead, skill levels are gained by enhancing equipped Nodes. Each Node will have a Rank and EXP associated with it. To enhance a Node, copies of the same Node are used to gain EXP to rank up a Node. 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 however, the duration can be extended
- 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 upon completing one of the following:
- Accumulated total of 500 levels within your World
- Reached Lv. 200 and completed the 5th Job Advancement
The Legion Board grid is divided by different stats. By assigning characters onto the grid, each character will provide a "Legion Bonus" effect and a stat bonus depending on where it is assigned
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. By using [Legion Coins] your Legion Board can be upgraded by talking to Dame Appropriation to upgrade your board. Legion Coins are gained passively based on your characters currently assigned to the grid
Legion Coins are used to exchange items from Squire Pancho Sanza such as:
- [EXP Booster]
- [Drop Rate Booster]
- [Meso Rate Booster]
- [Epic Potential Scrolls]
- [Hard Cube]
- [Bonus Potential Scrolls]

Progression towards Midgame:
For info on upgrading and enhancing gear check out: https://www.grandislibrary.com/contents/upgrading-enhancing-equipment
Spell Tracing in Interactive Worlds:
In Interactive Worlds, be sure to upgrade all your gear with at least 70% Spell Tracing so that you can start Star Forcing. On average, 70% Spell Tracing provides an optimal amount of stats compared to just 100% Spell Tracing your equipment
In Heroic Worlds, Spell Traces are unused and can be sold to NPCs for Mesos
The Spell Trace and Star Force system is located in the Equipment Enchant UI by 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:
There are typically events where Spell Trace enhancements have an increased 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:
During Sunny Sundays, there are typically events where the number of Spell Traces required to upgrade is halved. This is a good time to use Spell Traces on Innocence Scrolls or Clean Slates
Star Forcing:
Star Force Enhancements cost Mesos and grants increased stats to an equipment upon success. On Interactive Worlds, before an equipment can be Star Force/enhance, all upgrade slots must be used. In Heroic Worlds, gear can be Star Forced/enhanced immediately since there are no upgrade slots
In early game, 12-stars on each item is suggested to keep at a comfortable pace. However, past 15 stars, equipment start to see a clear difference from equipment with fewer stars
During events, there are normally shops and rewards available to obtain [Star Enhancement Scrolls] that sets an equipment's Star Force to a certain amount. For example, there are scrolls that upgrade an equipment immediately to 15 or 17 stars
30% Star Force Discount:
Occasionally on Sunny Sundays, Star Forcing is discounted by 30%. This is a good time to Star Force if you are trying to reach above 15-star. 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, Star Forcing to 5, 10, or 15 stars is a guaranteed success. This is a good time to reach 15-star but is not necessary to start Star Forcing your gear
1+1 Event:
Occasionally on Sunny Sundays, Star Forcing below 10 Stars grants 2 stars. This is useful for enhancing multiple items to 12-star, 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/Flames:
For now don't 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 Interactive Worlds, 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 Enhancements (max. 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 or 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 Interactive Worlds, any remaining upgrade slots will be filled by 100% Spell Traces for free. You can choose which stat the upgrades will be. I recommend that you already Upgrade/Spell Trace the Transferring Item first if you do not want the 100% Spell Trace stats
The Transfer Hammering UI is accessible from the Inventory UI 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:
In early game, all gear should be at least 9% Main Stat with Epic Potential. You will also want to 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 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
As well, all equipment should have 3 lines of potential instead of 2. Otherwise, use [Gold Potential Stamp] to unlock a 3rd line
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 regained
Some ways to obtain Epic Potential Scrolls are:
- [Heroic Worlds] Yu Garden shop
- [Interactive Worlds] Auction House
- Event Shops
- Elite Bosses
- Pollo/Fritto Missions + Inferno Wolf
- Legion System
Some ways to obtain Gold Potential Stamps are:
- [Interactive Worlds] 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

[ < 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 since there many other ways to improve a character besides Main Stat like Boost Nodes, %Boss Damage, or %Ignore DEF
There are also better options to test boss readiness such as attempting Practice Mode on a boss or Battle Analysis with a training dummy
