MapleStory/Bonus Stats

This page covers the equipment bonus stat system that is applied to certain equipments even before any enhancements.

Bonus Stats


Bonus Stats is a system that will increase the basic stats of most equipment. However, it will not affect scaled enhancements.

The Bonus Stats system always add stats and it will never deduct stats (unless you apply a Rebirth 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 bonuses are not subjected to equipment level. Bonus stats on equipments will be written in green.

Note that the following equipment types cannot receive Bonus Stats.
 * Rings
 * Shoulderpad (Scarlet Shoulderpad can be flamed however)
 * Medals
 * Emblems
 * Badges
 * Android
 * Android Hearts
 * Secondary Weapons (including shield and katara)

Mechanics
A summary table is provided for convenience.
 * You can get 1 to 4 bonus stat lines on an equipment and on Flame Advantage equipments, it will always receive 4 lines.
 * For every line, there are 7 tiers in it. They are random and do not work like potentials. Every line has its own tier.
 * Normal equipment will be limited to Tiers 1~5 (except Elite Boss drops)
 * Flame Advantage equipment (and Elite Boss Drops) are limited to Tiers 3~7.
 * For Elite Boss drops, it is only applied when it is first obtained, usage of flames will treat it as a normal equipment (and hence limited to tiers 1~5).

Flame Advantage
Most equipment from raid bosses are classified as Flame Advantage equips, though some are excluded. Also, some equipment that are not awarded by slaying raid bosses are also classified as Flame Advantage equips. Flame Advantage equips gain much better bonus stats compared to normal equips.
 * It will always receive 4 lines.
 * It will receive 2 tiers higher than normal equips.

Pink Holy Grail is a Flame Advantage item while Xiamen Earring is a normal item.

Resetting Bonus Stats
Bonus Stats can be reset using Rebirth Flames by double clicking on the flame. It will then bring you to the equipment tab, where equipment that the flame cannot be used on will have its box coloured red.



Upon successful usage, there will be a notice on the chatbox.



Item type will determine whether or not the flame can be used. The type of flame used as well as whether or not the equipment has Flame Advantage, will determine the stat quality.

Item Dots
On the top left of the item icon in the item stats, there will be a dot in the icon which determines whether or not levelled flames can be applied.
 * Transparent Dot (If an item has a Transparent dot then all flames can be used on it however, flames with item level restrictions cannot be used on a level 151 and above item with a transparent dot, since these flames only work on items up to level 150)
 * White Dot (If an item has a White dot then only flames without item level restrictions can be used on it)

Rebirth Flames
These flames give bonus stats to Transparent Dot items whose level is equal or below the level stated in the flame. Has a higher chance of bonus stats being a Tier 4 instead of Tiers 1~3 (Tiers 3~5 with a chance of Tier 6 for Flame Advantage equips) compared to levelled flames. Bonus Stats will be guaranteed at least Tier 2 (Tier 4 for Flame Advantage equips). Lines will be usually Tiers 2~4 with a small chance of it being Tier 5 (Tiers 4~6, with a small chance of Tier 7 for Flame Advantage equips) Bonus Stats tier are the same as Powerful Rebirth Flame, additionally allows you to choose before and after bonus stats results. Bonus Stats tier are the same as Eternal Rebirth Flame, additionally allows you to choose before and after bonus stats results.
