MapleStory/Inner Ability

This page describes about the Inner Ability System. Inner Potential is the same as Inner Abilities (or Abilities as per in game).

Ability Lines

 * To earn ability lines, talk to Maple Administrator for a quest at Level 50. Quest name: The Eye Opener
 * To change ability lines, go to your Ability stat window and click on the reset button beside your honor point balance. Ability rank may drop unlike potential cubing.

Default lines (not affected by % stat): Default rank: Rare (can be increased to Epic, Epic to Unique, Unique to Legendary by resetting Abilities without locking rank but can also be decreased)
 * Final All Stat +1
 * Final All Stat +3
 * Final All Stat +5

Earning Honor Points
You can earn Honor points by the following methods:
 * Picking up Medal of Honor from monsters around your level (up to 20 levels above or below) and must be at least Level 50 to get 5-20 Honor Points.
 * Picking up Boss Medal of Honor from most Raid Boss Monsters to obtain 100-200 Honor Points.
 * Using Event Medal of Honor from Events or Dojo or Ursus to obtain a set amount (usually 10,000)
 * Fairy Bros Daily Gift Day 6 provides 10,000 Honor Points.
 * Using "The Seed Medal of Honor" fron clearing Oz Tower/Seed Tower to obtain 100 Honor Points.
 * Level Up (700 Honor per level up starting from Level 49, every 10 levels this value increases by 100, Zero only gets points after Level 100)
 * Clearing Blockbuster such as Black Heaven and Heroes of Maple.
 * Clearing Monster Park on Thursdays or Saturdays (at a chance for Saturdays).
 * Opening Basic Bounty Hunter Pouches for Basic Honor Medal at a chance (500 Honor)
 * Opening Intermediate and Advanced Bounty Hunter Pouches for Intermediate Honor Medal at a chance (1,000 Honor)
 * Opening Superior Bounty Hunter Pouches for Advanced Honor Medal at a chance (2,000 Honor)

Resetting Abilities
Honor points can be used for resetting all inner abilities, locking a certain ability rank to prevent it from dropping or lock multiple lines to prevent them from being reset.
 * You need to lock the rank before locking any lines. If you choose to lock the rank, rank retains but will not go up either.
 * Rare Abilities cannot be locked since it is the lowest rank and you cannot go below Rare.
 * Alternatively you can use Miracle Circulator from the Cash Shop or events, they can only be used Epic or higher but it does not drop rank. However you cannot lock lines if you use Miracle Circulator. Miracle Circulator always give the maximum value (Stat level in multiples of 6). You can also choose to revert to the old stats if the new stats are deemed undesirable by you.
 * Unique Circulators will reset your ability to the Unique rank, and all 3 lines will be forcefully reset (usable on Rare and Epic only). It can be obtained from Golden Apples at a low chance.
 * Legendary Circulators will reset your ability to the Legendary rank and all 3 lines will be forcefully reset (usable on Rare/Epic/Unique abilities only). It can be obtained from certain events.
 * Chaos Circulators will forcefully reset the value of each stat, but it will not change the rank. The possible values will be within the same "minimum rank" stated compared to your existing stat. The value can improve or become worse, and all 3 lines will be adjusted individually and not a combined application at once.

The rate of the rank changes are as follows (may not be accurate)
 * Honor Points reset (not applicable if rank is locked, rates are approximated)


 * Miracle Circulators

2nd/3rd line estimated rank chances as follows (assumes Legendary Ability rank, values are estimated)

Reset Cost
Ability rank may drop or increase if you did not lock the rank. Honor Points Cost Table below shows the Honor Points needed to perform the reset at normal times. During certain event periods, the cost will be reduced to half.


 * If you want the locks, you have to pay for it every single reset and all the costs add up depending on how many locks you want.
 * Example: You reset a legendary ability. 100 points are needed for a reset. 10,100 points are needed per reset with a rank lock. 13,100 points are needed to reset with rank lock and single line lock. 18,100 points are needed for a reset with rank lock and double line lock. So if you want to reset 5 times with rank lock at legendary with double line lock it will cost you 18,100×5 = 90,500 points.

Ability Stat List
Here are the list of possible abilities that you can get. There are a total of 45 lines (31 lines are available at Rare, 34 lines are available at Epic, 40 lines are available at Unique and 43 lines are available at Legendary) Rating suggestion ranges from A (most recommended) to F (not recommended/useless) to help in decision making. You should aim for 3 of the stats graded A or B as that is the maximum benefit given.
 * Note: You will see honor stat levels below, but they does almost nothing except to determine what amount you get and the possible ranks to achieve it. In fact it cannot be levelled up.
 * Only your top-most line follows the minimum rank congruently, your other 2 lines can disobey the rank (meaning you can have Legendary rank but these 2 lines can still be at Rare rank). Maximum rank for bottom 2 lines is Unique.
 * You cannot have multiple lines of the exact same stats.
 * All Flat Stat Bonuses are not affected by its % variants and are added after the % is added. Other stat increases (including ATT and Magic ATT) are affected by % increases as they are coded the same way as other sources of the same stats, which are affected by % increases. Coding source: http://www.southperry.net/showthread.php?t=58373
 * Note that stat level has been renumbered for this page to reduce confusion (since in a set of 10 stat level, the first 4 stat levels are unobtainable however they are still coded in the game)
 * Ranged stat levels mean that the probabilities are weighted, so a stat value with a higher range of stat level means that you will have a higher chance of getting that line.
 * "Bossing" refers to the conventional guides leading your character to fight Raid Bosses.
 * "Training" refers to somewhat disposable characters (link/union mules) that will probably never fight a raid boss (excluding Weekly Dojo, if you do not mind the low performance inside
