MapleStory/Bonus Stats

This page covers the equipment bonus stat system by both Global MapleStory as well as other MapleStory Services. Global MapleStory uses the Nebulite system while other servers use the Bonus Stats system.

Global MapleStory is expected to get the Bonus Stats system in the upcoming summer update "ARK" on June 20Th, 2018.

Bonus Stats
Bonus Stats is a system that replaces the randomisation of stats, which causes an item to be slightly better or worse than average.

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.

Mechanics

 * You can get 1 to 4 bonus stat lines on an equipment and on boss equipments, it will always receive 4 lines.
 * For every line, there are 7 stat levels in it. They are random and do not work like potentials and every line has its own stat level, though most of them are within Stat Level 1 to 3. (Level 3 to 5 for KMS)

Stats Quality by Equipments

 * Dropped equipments and normal Rebirth Flames will usually begin with a Stat Level 1 to 3, occasionally Level 4. (Usually Level 3 to 5, ocasionally Level 6 for KMS)
 * Master Craftsman level crafting (except Fusing) ensures a higher chance of a Stat Level 4 (Level 6 for KMS) while Meister level crafting (except Fusing) ensures an higher chance of a Stat Level 4 or 5 (Level 6 or 7 in KMS) and the weakest Stat is Level 2. (No chance of Stat Level 1)(Weakest Level 4, no chance of Level 3 for KMS)
 * Newly monster-dropped equipments automtically come with bonus stats (usually Stat Level 1 to 3, 3 to 5 for KMS) and normal Rebirth Flames cannot be used. However special flames from crafting can be used (on both new and old equips)
 * Max possible stat level in KMS is 7 (ultra rare, Usually it is 6, excluding elite boss equips), max possible in MapleSEA is 5 (super rare, usually it is 4, excluding elite boss equips)

Rebirth Flames
These flames give bonus stats to old items whose level is equal or below the level stated in the flame. Powerful Rebirth Flame and Eternal Rebirth Flame can also be used on new items.
 * Rebirth Flame Level 100 (Gachapon, untradeable)
 * Rebirth Flame Level 110 (Normal / Chaos Zakum, Omni CLN, Root Abyss, Easy / Normal Magnus)
 * Rebirth Flame Level 120 (Normal Hilla, Easy / Normal Von Leon, Easy / Normal / Chaos Horntail, Normal Pink Bean)
 * Rebirth Flame Level 130 (Hard Hilla, Hard Von Leon, Chaos Pink Bean, Easy / Normal Arkarium)
 * Rebirth Flame Level 140 (Easy / Normal Empress Cygnus)
 * Rebirth Flame Level 150 (Hard Magnus, Chaos Root Abyss, Normal / Hard Damien, Normal / Hard Lotus, Normal / Hard Lucid, Normal / Hard Will)
 * Powerful Rebirth Flame (Master Craftsman Accessory Crafting)
 * Has a higher chance of bonus stats being a Level 4 instead of Level 1 to 3 (Level 3 to 5 with a chance of Level 6 for KMS)
 * Eternal Rebirth Flame (Meister Accessory Crafting)
 * Bonus Stats will be guaranteed at least Level 2. While the item may state that it provides the "maximum possible Bonus Stats", it actually only ensures that all the lines are of Level 2 or higher and does not make all Bonus Stat lines automatically at max level, Lines will be usually Level 2 to 4 with a small chance of it being Level 5 (Level 4 to 6, with a small chance of Level 7 for KMS)

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 250.
 * 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.)


 * Note that the following equipment types cannot receive Bonus Stats and they will use the old above/below average system instead.
 * Rings
 * Shoulderpad
 * Medals
 * Emblems
 * Badges
 * Android
 * Android Hearts
 * Secondary Weapons (including katara)

Attack Power increase (Armors)
Not affected by Equip Level.

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 Magic Attack.
 * Normal Weapons (values shown are approximate % of Weapon's base Attack Power, with about 1%p error)


 * Boss set Weapons (values shown are approximate % of Weapon's base Attack Power, with about 1%p error)

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

Magic Attack increase (Weapons)
Affected by Equip Level and also affected by Weapon's Base Magic Attack. For weapons without base Magic Attack before bonus stats, it is calculated based on the base Attack Power.
 * Normal Weapons (values shown are approximate % of Weapon's base Magic Attack, with about 1%p error)


 * Boss set Weapons (values shown are approximate % of Weapon's base Magic Attack, with about 1%p error)

Speed increase

Special Bonus Stats
These bonus stats are special in which it is 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 bonus stats, 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 bonus stats, star force costs, maximum stars and spell trace stats and costs.
 * Example: A Level 160 weapon has this bonus stat: "Level requirement -10".


 * Possible values

Nebulites
Notice: Nebulites will be removed on 20 June due to implementation of Bonus Stats, mounted Nebulites will be converted to equivalent Bonus Stats (http://maplestory.nexon.net/news/31605). Unmounted Nebulites and Nebulites on unflammable equipments will be replaced by Rebirth Flames for you to try your luck at better Bonus Stats (http://maplestory.nexon.net/news/31604/maple-memo-nebulite-and-bonus-stat-changes).

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) 1 meso (due to pending removal of nebulites).

Ranks
There are 5 ranks of Nebulites: D, C, B, A and S, though S rank is no longer obtainable, with D being the weakest (or basically useless) and A or S being the strongest.

Obtaining Nebulites
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 (or better if you are lucky). 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).
