MapleStory/Transfer Hammer

This page will cover the equipment transfer system known as Todd's Hammer (MSEA) or Transfer Hammer (GMS).

Mechanics
You can transfer certain enhancements over from lower level to higher level equips if the 2 equips meet the requirements.

The following will be transferred (stats from star force, potentials, additional potentials and autofilled 100% spell trace will be adjusted to match the higher equip level):
 * Star Force except the last star
 * Potentials up to Epic (For Unique and above, rank as well as stats will drop to Epic (Prime) for the same stats. If the stats does not exist, a random Epic (Prime) stat will be given after transfer.)
 * Bonus Potentials up to Epic (For Unique and above, rank as well as stats will drop to Epic (Prime) for the same stats. If the stats does not exist, a random Epic (Prime) stat will be given after transfer.)
 * Soul Weapon

The following will not be transferred:
 * Base item stats
 * Scrolled Stats (if the higher level equip has unused upgrade slots, you can use 100% spell trace at no cost)
 * Hammer count
 * Bonus Stats (labelled green)
 * The final star of the star force enhance level (Example: For a 19 Star equipment, only 18 Stars will be transferred)
 * Trait EXP bonus
 * Tradability
 * Appearance
 * "Lucky Item" property (that allows the item to be included in all sets with 3 or more actual items equipped, containing the same item type that is not already filled to the maximum capacity for that item type, and only 1 lucky item can take effect for the entire character)

Requirements
Equipments must meet the requirements to be allowed to be used for transfer.
 * Lower Level Equip
 * Minimum 1 Star Force infused
 * Regular equips only
 * No special skills


 * Higher Level Equip
 * Regular equips only
 * No special skills
 * 1~10 Equip Levels above the lower level equip (if lower level equip is 99 or below, 1~20 levels above is allowed). Exclude Level Requirement reduction bonus stats for both equips.
 * All upgrade slots used (can fill up with 100% spell trace at no cost)
 * Same equipment type as lower level equip regardless of job (Overalls can be used as a top or bottom, weapons are very specific: bow to bow only for example)
 * Must be able to use Star Force enhancement
