Item Quality

\n

An item's quality is based on the sum of the item's stats, and can be one of 7 different quality levels. The quality level can be checked by the color of the item's icon outline in the inventory, with the following colors denoting each rarity:

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Scroll Enhancement

\n

You can use various types of Scrolls or Spell Traces to enhance items.

\n

You can enhance your equipment with Scrolls or Spell Traces for as many times as the item says that it can be upgraded.

\n

\"MapleStory

\n

Stats displayed on the item window are called item stats, and include STR, DEX, INT, LUK and others. When displayed in an item's tooltip, they are largely categorized into three parts, displayed in the following order: Base Stats + Bonus Stats + Enhancement Stats.

\n

TIPS:

\n\n

If you have expended your attempts to enhance an item using Scrolls, you can use Pure Clean Slate Scrolls to restore failed upgrade slots, or use the Innocence Scroll to reset the enhancements on that item.

Rebirth Flames

\n

If you enhance an item with good Bonus Stats, you may be able to create a weapon that's even more powerful, and you can use a Rebirth Flame to reset an item's Bonus Stats.

\n

Press the hotkey [O], or double click on Spell Trace in your inventory, to open the Enhance Menu and click on the Star Force tab to begin enhancing.

Potential

\n

Equip items have additional Potential bonuses that you can upgrade to gain the full power of your equipment! Potentials are now fully revealed on picked up items, and can be reset using cubes.

\n

There are different types of Potential: \"Potential\" and \"Bonus Potential\".

\n

\"MapleStory

\n

TIPS:

\n\n

Cubes are special items that can be used to reset the Potentials or Bonus Potentials of an item in the Enhance Menu, with a change to increase the rarity of the Potentials/Bonus Potentials. There are a number of different cubes with unique uses and differing ways of obtaining them.

\n

Cubes and How to Obtain Them

\n\n\n

Soul Weapon

\n

Create even more powerful weapons using the force of the soul, boosting Weapon ATT, Magic ATT, bonus stats and other powerful bonuses.

\n

\"MapleStory

\n

Press the hotkey [O] to bring up the Enhance menu, click on Soul Weapon, and drop in the weapon you want to upgrade into a Soul Weapon, then select the Soul Enchanter item to upgrade the weapon. You can view the Soul Weapon's information on the bottom of the weapon tooltip. Equip Boss Souls to increase Weapon ATT and Magic ATT, as well as additional Potential and Boss Summon skills.

Transfer Hammer

\n

What happens when you've fully enhanced your favorite item, but a more powerful base item drops? Use the Transfer Hammer to move the majority of your upgrades over to your new item! Transfer Hammers are mysterious hammers that allow Lv. 40+ characters to transfer the stat bonuses from Star Force Enhancement, Potentials, Bonus Potentials and Soul Weapon enhancements from a lower-level item to a higher-level item.

\n

Using the Transfer Hammer

\n

You can use the Transfer Hammer by clicking on the blue Transfer button on the bottom of the inventory screen.

\n

\n

Extracting Equipment Stats

\n

You can use the Transfer Hammer if your equipment meets the following two conditions.

\n

Transfer Hammer Usage Requirement

\n\n

\"MapleStory

\n

TIPS:

\n\n

Transferring Equipment Stats

\n

The extracting item and receiving item must have the same Equipment Type in order for the transfer to work (Hat to Hat, Cape to Cape, Ring to Ring, etc), and weapons must be of the same type for a transfer to function (Bow to Bow, Two-Handed Sword to Two-Handed Sword, etc). The only exception for this is that Overalls, as they effectively equip in both the Top and Bottom slot, can extract and transfer stats to both Top and Bottom items (as well as other Overalls).

\nIf there are available upgrades left on the receiving item, use the 100% scrolls for the remaining number of times to enhance the equipment. At this time, Spell Traces will not be consumed, and if you do not wish to use the 100% scroll, you'll need to finish upgrading the equipment to receive the stats before you can transfer the stats.\n

\"MapleStory

\n

Before completing the transfer, hover the cursor over the resulting item to review the resulting stats and make sure that you want to proceed with the transfer, as the extracted item will be consumed.

\n

\"MapleStory

\n

Finally, be sure to review the last notice that pops up, and click OK if you're ready to transfer the item's stats and enjoy your new, powered-up item!
