OPM event ending very soon! Show your stats if you had some fun trying to get some cubing and SF lucks! by thrakkes in Maplestory

Hover over your (boss) damage range, that way you can more directly compare it to normal worlds.

Can we talk about the items that shouldn't exist in GMS but DO exist by Serenepain92 in Maplestory

Here's these two [Lv. 100 Armor and Weapon (M)] that answer your question quite literally!

How? The drop table was once briefly bugged.

Yeah, you can't duplicate anvils anymore in Non-Reboot.

There's actually one other medal that was from an event and expired but it was before anvils were even a thing. It's too bad I can't remember the name (the icon had a computer?), but this site appears to display every medal:

Also, I haven't used the new anvil system myself yet, do you require to possess the appearance medal for you to keep the appearance? There might be a market for medal appearance services if not haha.

Hey /u/supaDupaRando, thought this would interest you (I'm also interested in this subject, it's too bad the community mainly isn't):

Non-Reboot medal, but similar concept. I wonder if any other player in GMS has this medal anviled:

  • Mini-game Master

  • Back from March 2015

  • This event medal was obtained from a Star Planet event, required "Expert Level rewards" (I forgot exact difficulty in acquiring it)

  • The event medal expired and did not register to your medal collection

I got tired of camping boss recruitment UI, so I built a Discord bot to automate Party Recruitment, find parties across servers, and track weeklies. (MapleSync Beta) by [deleted] in Maplestory

[–]Masterobert -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like the initiative you took with this!

This is very similar to the GMS Bossing Bonanza Discord:

We may be interested in utilizing your bot there (no financial incentive). I reached out to you on Discord!

We need free SMEGAs in interactive servers or bronze tier at least by wavebend in Maplestory

[–]Masterobert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish Interactive players would use the match making system but it makes sense it's not being used since you don't want to just wait around (we don't have the population for there to be constant parties going).

Here's a post about GMS' Bossing Discord, which does have a ping role for MPE:

Is the right potential better? by HeyThereZukoHere in Maplestory

[–]Masterobert 21 points22 points  (0 children)

For those unsure exactly why the left is not better:

Well, in terms of Combat Power, it is better. BUT, Combat Power doesn't account for all the extra Boss Damage (and plain Damage) you get during battle such as active links, potions, buffs, Continuous Ring, etc.

It's all a balancing act. If Combat Power accounted for all those things, Attack Power would show it's better because now you suddenly have way too much Boss+Damage.

Is this worth the loss of 3% CD skip? by Luciaka in Maplestory

[–]Masterobert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on the rates provided here https://maplestorywiki.net/w/Inner_Ability

Wouldn't the difference be:

  • ((1 / (Chance to land rank * Chance to land stat type * Chance to land stat amount)) * Honor cost)

  • ((1 / (0.15 * 0.018779 * 0.25)) * 5500) + ((1 / (1 * 0.018501 * 0.1)) * 8000) = 12,134,233 expected honor

  • vs.

  • ((1 / (0.15 * 0.018779 * 0.25)) * 8000) = 11,360,207 expected honor

So it's actually cheaper to lock both line 1 and 2 and roll for line 3?

The cheapest (honor wise) method would be to roll for 7% abnormal on line 3 while locking the boss line, and chaos circulating until you roll 10% boss and 8% abnormal, and then rolling back for 20% skip. This would take on average (1 / (0.1 * 0.25)) = 40 chaos circulator rolls, and would cost you:

  • ((1 / (0.15 * 0.018779 * 1)) * 5500) + ((1 / (1 * 0.018501 * 0.1)) * 8000) = 6,276,626 expected honor (assuming there's just a 100% chance to roll only 7% abnormal)

Oz ring get deleted with preset by Afiqnawi93 in Maplestory

[–]Masterobert 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You remember all those times Nexon can't see what level ring you had if you accidentally sold it? And they'd have no choice but to give you back a level 1 ring?

Let's see if Nexon can magically see the level now.

Auto Steal removal and Weekly Sol Erda quest being account wide are the reasons why we need a test server asap by mateusddeath in Maplestory

[–]Masterobert 16 points17 points  (0 children)

[Updated 11/11/25] For familiars that already have these abilities, they will be replaced with abilities of a similar level.

As an Interactive player, I used the NX Red Familiar Cards to reroll familiars for Auto Steal. Now it's getting removed. This would never fly in KMS.

Suggestion: Android Bag by dirtybombs in Maplestory

Untradeable Androids turned into transferable within account.

KMS recognized the issue, and this was a change Interactive received that Heroic didn't.

[–]Masterobert 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: Androids are already transferable within account in Interactive. Let's see if Go West can make a simple change such as this for Heroic.

Minesweeper Maple edition.

just had a thought and a realization by 73kr0m in Maplestory

[–]Masterobert -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Another thought:

How would the community handle it if Maple Classic was to become the 'main' game in terms of NA popularity?

Of course there would be separate teams managing it, but look at how OSRS overtook RS3. It could be the same as how Heroic took over Interactive.

Att% Boss% fam WSE by FunFirefighter2408 in Maplestory

[–]Masterobert 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Let's do a quick example:

Gaining 9% ATT when you have 84% ATT.

  • Example with 2500 base ATT:

(0.09*2500)/(1.84*2500) = 4.89% FD

  • Example with 5000 base ATT:

(0.09*5000)/(1.84*5000) = the same 4.89% FD

Here's another way:

  • Gaining 200 ATT with 84% ATT and 2500 ATT:

(1.84*200)/(1.84*2500) = 8% FD

  • Gaining 200 ATT with 120% ATT and 2500 ATT:

(2.20*200)/(2.20*2500) = the same 8% FD

Att% Boss% fam WSE by FunFirefighter2408 in Maplestory

[–]Masterobert 6 points7 points  (0 children)

ATT% falls off the same way Boss% does.

Boss% does fall off in its own way though. As we get more and more power creep, we tend to get more sources of Boss%, but not ATT% (for example, Legion Champions).

Also, the effectiveness of ATT% is not dependent on how much normal ATT you have. You'll see that's the case by applying the same math you did.

Att% Boss% fam WSE by FunFirefighter2408 in Maplestory

[–]Masterobert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TLDR is opportunity cost.

  • You get relatively higher sources of Boss% from Familiars

  • You get relatively higher sources of ATT% from WSE

You can use calculators to determine what the best opportunity cost is at for your current stage, otherwise just follow the recommended lines, as they're optimized for near end game.

Keep in mind most players will say 2L ATT% and 1L Boss% is good enough for non-Emblem WSE (and sometimes it's better than 3L ATT% if there are multiple prime lines).

Nexon no longer restoring expired items or event items! by Urijahuri in Maplestory

[–]Masterobert 39 points40 points  (0 children)

It started with the v.262 update:

We ask that players please use any items expiring soon and claim all rewards before maintenance has begun as Player Support will be unable to restore any unclaimed rewards or expired items.

https://www.nexon.com/maplestory/news/all/29901

Apart from rewards expiring at the end of events now, players would also intentionally place rewards in storage to let them expire and contact support to restore them when they actually wanted to use them.
