MapleStory/Bonus Stats

This page covers the equipment bonus stat system by both GlobalMS as well as other MapleStory Services. GlobalMS uses the Nebulite system while other servers use the Additional Options system.

Additional Options
Additional Options is a system that replaces the randomisation of stats, which causes an item to be slightly better or worse than average. The Additional Options system always add stats and it will never deduct stats (unless you apply a Resurrection Flame on an old item that has been applied before, which resets the bonus stats) The bonuses generally increases with equipment level but some of the items have no level limit. You can get 1 to 4 additional option lines on an equipment and on boss equipments, it will always receive 4 lines. For every line, there are 6 levels in it. They are random and do not work like potentials and every line has its own level (though most of them are within Level 1 to 3). Dropped equipments and normal Resurrection Flames will usually begin with a Level 1 to 3 options (Boss equips have a higher chance of Level 2 or 3 option). Master Craftsman level crafting ensures a higher chance of a Level 4 to 6 option while Meister level crafting ensures an even higher chance of a Level 4 to 6 option and the minimum option is Level 2. (No chance of Level 1) Dropped new equipments automtically come with additional options (usually Level 1 to 3) and normal Resurrection Flames cannot be used. However special ones from crafting can be used (on both new and old equips). Equips from Elite Bosses have a much higher chance of getting Level 4 to Level 6 option as well as maximum Special Additional Options.

Resurrection Flames
These flames give additional options to old items whose level is equal or below the level stated in the flame. Fierce Rebirth Flame and Rainbow Rebirth Flame can also be used on new items.
 * Resurrection Flame Level 100 (Gachapon, untradeable)
 * Resurrection Flame Level 110 (Zakum, Root Abyss, Horntail, Easy Magnus)
 * Resurrection Flame Level 120 (Hilla, Von Leon, Horntail)
 * Resurrection Flame Level 130 (Arkarium)
 * Resurrection Flame Level 140 (Empress Cygnus)
 * Resurrection Flame Level 150 (Hard Magnus)
 * Fierce Rebirth Flame (Master Craftsman Accessory Crafting)
 * Has a higher chance of additional options being a Level 4 or higher instead of Level 1 to 3.
 * Rainbow Rebirth Flame (Meister Accessory Crafting)
 * Additional Option will be guaranteed at least Level 4 for at least 1 line. While the item may state that it provides the "maximum possible Additional Option stats", it actually only ensures that 1 or more lines are of Level 4 or higher and does not make all Additional Option lines automatically at max level.

Stats
Here are the possible stats. Note that rings, shoulderpads, medals, emblems, badges, android hearts, secondary weapon including katara, and items unavailable for Spell Trace Upgrades, are not able to receive Additional Options and they will use the old above/below average system instead. Stats obtained will add together with enhancement stats and different lines that add the same stat will be combined together to show the total bonus stats instead of displaying separately. The maximum scaling of stats to equip level is currently unknown so based on the pattern, the tables will show possible stats up till equip level 250. Duplicate lines are not possible (except Stat increase with Double Stat increase, in which Double Stat increases contain the same stat as the one in Stat increase)
 * Note: Stats may be inaccurate since it is based on experimental data and without extractions, so it may be inconclusive. Highest spotted additional option level is currently 7.

Weapon ATT increase (Armors)
Not affected by Equip Level.

Weapon ATT increase (Weapons)
Not affected by Equip Level but is affected by Weapon's Base ATT. For weapons with base Weapon ATT and base Magic ATT before any bonus stats, when this line is chosen, it is calculated based on the base Weapon ATT, not Magic ATT.
 * Derived formula (based off experimental values, may be inaccurate): $$Constant \times BaseWeaponATT/25 $$, rounded up


 * Constant values

Magic ATT increase (Armors)
Not affected by Equip Level.

Magic ATT increase (Weapons)
Not affected by Equip Level but is affected by Weapon's Base ATT. For weapons without base Magic ATT before bonus stats, when this line is chosen, it is calculated based on the base Weapon ATT. $$Constant \times BaseMagicATT/25 $$, rounded up, if there is base Magic ATT, $$Constant \times BaseWeaponATT/25 $$, rounded up, if there is no base Magic ATT.
 * Derived formula (based off experimental values, may be inaccurate):


 * Constant values

Speed increase
Not affected by Equip Level.

Jump increase
Not affected by Equip Level.

Special Additional Options
These additional options are special in which it does not seem to have 6 levels. It is also very powerful (since 3 out of 4 of them are % based). They are all not affected by equip level.

Equip level requirement reduction
Note: The new required equip level is automatically displayed as Req Lvl but for additional options, potential tiers, star force cost, maximum stars, spell trace costs and stats, it is based off the original level requirement. The equip will show "Req Lvl: 150" but for potential stats, it still receives the 4th tier as the original requirement is Level 160. Applies to additional options, star force costs, maximum stars and spell trace stats and costs.
 * Example: A Level 160 weapon has this option: "Level requirement -10".


 * Possible values

Nebulites
Nebulites are items that can be used to increase an item's stats without consuming an upgrade slot. However it will consume the socket slot, which most equipments will have 1. However once you applied a Nebulite into the equipment the equipment will be stuck with the Nebulite stats unless you remove it by paying 500 NX (US $0.50). There are 5 ranks of Nebulites: D, C, B, A and S, though S rank is no longer obtainable. Monsters can drop the Nebulite box at a super rare rate (estimated to be 1 in 100 thousands to 1 million?), which when opened will give a D rank Nebulite. You can fuse Nebulites in order to have a chance for a better ranked Nebulite but the rank may drop if you fuse using a lower Nebulite rank. B rank Nebulites and higher ranks require Fusion Tickets in order to be fused, which can be obtained by buying in cash shop.

Stats
These are the possible stats for Nebulites. Note that the stats on the Nebulite is applied on the equipment when used on it, so that means you can choose what stats you want for the equipment (if you have the Nebulite, you can use it and get the stats written on it).

D rank
You can obtain D rank Nebulites by opening a Nebulite Box, which drops from all monsters at an abysmal rate. 🇨🇴
