MapleStory/Bonus Stats

This page covers the equipment bonus stat system by both GlobalMS as well as other MapleStory Services. GlobalMS uses the Nebulite system while other servers use the Additional Options system.

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

The Additional Options system always add stats and it will never deduct stats (unless you apply a Resurrection 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 additional option 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).

Options Quality by Equipments

 * Dropped equipments and normal Resurrection Flames will usually begin with a Stat Level 1 to 3 options (Boss equips have a higher chance of Stat Level 2 or 3 option).
 * Master Craftsman level crafting (except Fusing) ensures a higher chance of a Stat Level 4 to 6 option while Meister level crafting (except Fusing) ensures an even higher chance of a Stat Level 4 to 6 option and the weakest option is Stat Level 2. (No chance of Stat Level 1)
 * Newly monster-dropped equipments automtically come with additional options (usually Stat Level 1 to 3) and normal Resurrection Flames cannot be used. However special flames from crafting can be used (on both new and old equips).
 * Equips from Elite Bosses have a much higher chance of getting Stat Level 4 to Level 7 option as well as maximum Special Additional Options.
 * Boss Equipments options are usually within Stat Level 5 to 7 in KMS. (Stat Level 1 to 3 in MapleSEA)

Resurrection Flames
These flames give additional options to old items whose level is equal or below the level stated in the flame. Fierce Rebirth Flame and Rainbow Rebirth Flame can also be used on new items.
 * Resurrection Flame Level 100 (Gachapon, untradeable)
 * Resurrection Flame Level 110 (Zakum, Root Abyss, Horntail, Easy Magnus)
 * Resurrection Flame Level 120 (Hilla, Von Leon, Horntail)
 * Resurrection Flame Level 130 (Arkarium)
 * Resurrection Flame Level 140 (Empress Cygnus)
 * Resurrection Flame Level 150 (Hard Magnus)
 * Fierce Rebirth Flame (Master Craftsman Accessory Crafting)
 * Has a higher chance of additional options being a Level 4 or higher instead of Level 1 to 3 (Max Stat Level 5 in MapleSEA). KMS Only: Boss Equipments will have options within Stat Level 5 to 7.
 * Rainbow Rebirth Flame (Meister Accessory Crafting)
 * Additional Option will be guaranteed at least Level 4 for at least 1 line. While the item may state that it provides the "maximum possible Additional Option stats", it actually only ensures that 1 or more lines are of Level 4 or higher and does not make all Additional Option lines automatically at max level (Max Stat Level 5 in MapleSEA). KMS Only: Boss Equipments will have options within Stat Level 5 to 7.

Stats
Here are the possible stats. Note that rings, shoulderpads, medals, emblems, badges, android hearts, secondary weapon including katara, and items unavailable for Spell Trace Upgrades (except Pocket Item), are not able to receive Additional Options and they will use the old above/below average system instead. 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 (except Stat increase with Double Stat increase, in which Double Stat increases contain the same stat as the one in Stat increase)

Weapon ATT increase (Armors)
Not affected by Equip Level.

Weapon ATT increase (Weapons)
Not affected by Equip Level but is affected by Weapon's Base ATT. For weapons with base Weapon ATT and base Magic ATT before any bonus stats, when this line is chosen, it is calculated based on the base Weapon ATT, not Magic ATT.
 * Derived formula (Utgard Weapons): $$Constant \times BaseWeaponATT/20 $$, rounded down
 * Derived formula (Fafnir Weapons): $$Constant \times BaseWeaponATT/25 $$, rounded up
 * Derived formula (Absolab Weapons): $$Constant \times BaseWeaponATT/20 $$, rounded up


 * Constant values

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

Magic ATT increase (Weapons)
Not affected by Equip Level but is affected by Weapon's Base ATT. For weapons without base Magic ATT before bonus stats, when this line is chosen, it is calculated based on the base Weapon ATT. Replace "Base Magic ATT" with "Base Weapon ATT" if the weapon has no Base Magic ATT.
 * Derived formula (Utgard Weapons): $$Constant \times BaseMagicATT/20 $$, rounded down
 * Derived formula (Fafnir Weapons): $$Constant \times BaseMagicATT/25 $$, rounded up
 * Derived formula (Absolab Weapons): $$Constant \times BaseMagicATT/20 $$, rounded up


 * Constant values

Speed increase
Not affected by Equip Level.

Jump increase
Not affected by Equip Level.

Special Additional Options
These additional options are special in which it does not seem to have 6 levels. It is also 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 additional options, 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 additional options, star force costs, maximum stars and spell trace stats and costs.
 * Example: A Level 160 weapon has this option: "Level requirement -10".


 * Possible values

Nebulites
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).

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).

D rank
You can obtain D rank Nebulites by opening a Nebulite Box, which drops from all monsters at an abysmal rate. 🇨🇴 +1 or +2
