MapleStory/Bonus Stats



This page covers the equipment bonus stat system that increases the basic stats of certain equipment even before any enhancements. 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.
 * For every line, there are 7 tiers in it. They are random and do not work like potentials. Every line has its own tier.
 * For Elite Boss/Rune of Njord drops, the higher tier 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).
 * Lines cannot be duplicated. All the possible stats have an equal chance of appearing.
 * Number of Lines
 * Tier Range

For normal items (equipment without flame advantage), elite boss drops and rune of njord drops, the number of lines are determined with a set chance. The rates shown might be inaccurate due to its experimental nature.

The probability of each tier is described as such.
 * Equipment without flame advantage

(For older items with flame advantage in MSEA, their tiers might be lower as the bonus stat is not changed after 8 August 2018)
 * Equipment with flame advantage

For elite boss and Rune of Njord drops, the tier is decided once and applied to all the stats at once, and the tier will be 2 tiers above the stated. For other items, the tier is decided separately for each stat.

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
There are a few types of flames with varying performance. Karma type flames can only be used on untradeable items, and the performance follows that of the normal type 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 1% chance of it being Tier 5 (Tiers 4~6, with a 1% 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.

Stats
Here are the possible stats. 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 275.
 * The chance of a particular line appearing (before tier considerations) is equal, and duplicate lines are not possible (note that Single Stat increase is considered a different line than Double Stat increase, even though they might contain the same stat.)

Attack Power increase (Non-weapons)
Not affected by Equip Level. However, the item must be at least level 60 and above.

Attack Power increase (Weapons)
Affected by Equip Level and also affected by Weapon's Base Attack Power. For weapons with base Attack Power and base Magic Attack before any bonus stats, it is calculated based on the base Attack Power, not Base Magic Attack.

The proportionality constant of the next tier is 10% higher than the previous tier, and it is stacked up to 4 times (46.41% higher than the lowest possible tier). For normal weapons, it is counted from tier 1, and for weapons with flame advantage, it is counted from tier 3.


 * Normal Weapons (values shown are % of Weapon's base Attack Power, rounded up)
 * Tiers 6~7 are only limited to Elite Boss drops (upon obtaining, any rebirth flames applied will be limited back to Tiers 1~5)
 * Zero weapons and weapons from Elite Bosses are classified as normal weapons. Zero weapon is calculated off Lapis.

For an easier reference for Zero weapons
 * Type 6: 6/13/21/30/41
 * Type 7: 9/20/32/47/64
 * Type 8: 11/23/38/56/76
 * Type 9: 18/40/65/95/131

Special Bonus Stats
These bonus stats are special in which they are very powerful (since 3 out of 4 of them are % based).

They are all not affected by equip level. On Zero weapons, except for "Item Level Requirement Reduction" stat, the stat will be applied twice even though the displayed value on the item remains the same.

All Stats % increase
For non-weapons, the item must be at least level 70. There is no level requirement for weapons.

Damage to Boss Monsters % increase (Weapons)
Weapon must be at least level 90.

Equip level requirement reduction
Note: The new required equip level is automatically displayed as Required Level ("REQ LEV") to equip. However, its enhancement characteristics remains unchanged. The equip will show "REQ LEV : 150" but for potential stats, it still receives the 4th tier (assuming GMS) as the original requirement is Level 160. Applies to all sorts of enhancements, including costs.
 * Example: A Level 160 weapon has this bonus stat: "Required Level : -10".

Item must be at least level 1.
