MapleStory/Formulas

The sections of this article detail various formulas and tables within the game.

Please keep the following in mind when calculating:
 * Any decimal that appears at the end of the formula's output is truncated, not rounded (i.e. 96.12 and 96.736 Damage dealt will both be effectively 96). This is important when weighing WA versus Stats. This does not apply to defense damage percentage reduction rate, dodge chance and hit rate.
 * Mastery is a decimal. If you do not have any mastery skill, use your initial mastery. If you have a mastery skill, input it as a decimal and add it up with your initial mastery (such as "0.3").

Damage
Damage is made up of various components.

Basic Raw Stats

 * Total Weapon Attack (ATT or Weapon ATT): $$ATT \times (1+ATT%/100)$$
 * Total Magic Attack (Magic ATT): $$MagicATT \times (1+MagicATT%/100)$$
 * Total STR: $$[([BaseSTR \times (1+MW%)]+BonusSTR) \times (1+STR%+AllStat%)+AbilitySTR+CardSTR+HyperSTR]$$
 * Total DEX: $$[([BaseDEX \times (1+MW%)]+BonusDEX) \times (1+DEX%+AllStat%)+AbilityDEX+CardDEX+HyperDEX]$$
 * Total INT: $$[([BaseINT \times (1+MW%)]+BonusINT) \times (1+INT%+AllStat%)+AbilityINT+CardINT+HyperINT]$$
 * Total LUK: $$[([BaseLUK \times (1+MW%)]+BonusLUK) \times (1+LUK%+AllStat%)+AbilityLUK+CardLUK+HyperLUK]$$
 * Maximum displayed damage range: 2,000,000 ~ 2,000,000
 * Maximum damage per line: $$(50,000,000 + Flat Increase) \times (1+CapIncrease%) $$
 * Weapon Multipliers

Mastery is capped at 99%.
 * Mastery
 * Physical melee: $$ 20% + Skill Mastery $$
 * Physical ranged: $$ 15% + Skill Mastery $$
 * Magic: $$ 25% + Skill Mastery $$

The following skills provide mastery for other jobs:
 * All 2nd job Weapon Mastery (+50% at Skill Level 10)
 * All 4th job Weapon Expert (+20% at Skill Level 29/30)


 * Notes:
 * If you have ATT % or Magic ATT %, the total amount of ATT or Magic ATT is rounded down immediately after applying the total percentage boost. Percentages apply to the formula as decimals.
 * All Stats % exclude the All Stats % from the skill Maple Warrior since the boost from this skill is already applied as MW%. However it is applied to the stat increase due to Maple Warrior.
 * Stats are rounded down after applying the percentage increases.
 * Ability stands for the stats found in your Inner Ability, Cards stands for the bonus from Character Cards excluding Unique Set Effects, which are counted as Bonus Stat and Hyper stands for the stat boost from adding Hyper Stats for the respective stat.
 * Unless the source is listed separately, all other sources providing the same particular stat is counted under Bonus.
 * For Damage Cap, the flat increases are applied first before the percentages one do. Percentage cap increases stack additively with each other. There are a few exceptions to this rule, but this is generally the case.

Derived Values

 * Stat Value (Except Demon Avenger) : $$ Primary Stat \times 4 + Secondary Stat $$
 * Stat Value (Demon Avenger) : $$RoundDown (BaseMaxHP/7) + RoundDown (OtherMaxHP/8.75) + STR $$
 * Base Max HP is the Pure Base HP and Washed HP (AP added into HP), before any % are applied and HP from other sources.
 * Other Max HP is the full value of your Maximum HP before it is limited to 500,000, excluding Base Max HP.
 * In other words, it means that your Base Pure HP and Washed HP (AP added into HP) worth 25% more than HP from other sources. However the 2 groups are rounded down individually before summed up (which means that a difference of 1 HP may not change your damage range at all and the remainder of the 2 groups do not add up together)
 * Primary and Secondary Stats


 *  Actual Damage Range (Maximum): $$Weapon Multiplier \times Stat Value \times ATT/100$$, rounded down
 *  Actual Damage Range (Minimum): $$MaximumActualDamage \times Mastery% $$, rounded up
 * Shown Damage Range (Maximum): $$Maximum Actual Damage \times (1+TotalDamage%) + FinalDamageBoost$$, rounded down
 * Shown Damage Range (Minimum): $$Minimum Actual Damage \times (1+TotalDamage%) \times Mastery% + FinalDamageBoost $$, rounded up


 * Note:
 * For magicians, change Attack into Magic Attack for magic skill damages.
 * ATT and Magic ATT is rounded down before being formulated into the damage range after applying ATT% or Magic ATT %.
 * All percentages are treated as decimals.
 * Final Damage Boost displayed are the ones from Inner Ability Damage Conversion and Character Card Bonus Damage only, not the final damage from skills.
 * When damage is calculated against Boss Monsters, the actual damage range is used instead and Total Damage and Damage towards Boss Monster bonus multipliers are formulated additively.
 * When Ultimatum Ring Buff is active,  Actual Damage Range (Maximum) will be set to 2,000,000.
 * The Maximum Actual Damage in the formulas refers to the rounded off value of the Actual Damage (Maximum), not the full or rounded down value. However for Minimum Actual Damage, the full value is used instead.

Output
Skills include: Character summons (cannot be critical, except Soul Weapon Summons), installed skills, attack skills.
 * Active Skills
 * Actual Skill Damage (on normal monsters): $$ [AD \times Skill% \times (1+TD%) \times (1+CD%)] \times (1-[MD% \times (1-ID%)]) \times (1+[MR \times (1-IR%)])+FDB$$
 * Actual Skill Damage (on boss monsters): $$ [AD \times Skill% \times (1+TD%+BD%) \times (1+CD%)] \times (1-[MD% \times (1-ID%)]) \times (1+[MR \times (1-IR%)])+FDB$$

Damage dealt is the same for normal and boss monsters, it is subjected to % final damage boost, magic damage nullification, elemental resistance and star force DEF (due to insufficient Star Force) but is not subjected to mastery and DEF. It cannot be critical and not affected by Total Damage % and Damage towards Boss monsters %. Damage over time Hyper Reinforce is final damage multiplier .
 * Damage Over Time
 * Damage Over Time: $$ ADmax \times Skill% \times (1+[MR \times (1-IR%)]) + FDB $$

Note:
 * Star Force DEF is counted as a negative final damage boost if you have insufficient Star Force.
 * ADmax is the Maximum Value of your Actual Damage Range.
 * Not affected by Ultimatum Ring Buff.

Damage dealt is the same for normal and boss monsters, it cannot be critical and not affected by Total Damage % and Damage towards Boss monsters %. It is affected by all final damage boost.
 * Soul Weapon Summons
 * Soul Weapon Summon Damage: $$ AD \times Skill% \times (1-[MD% \times (1-ID%)]) \times (1+[MR \times (1-IR%)])+FDB$$


 * Legend
 * AD = Actual Damage Range (A random number within the Actual Damage Range, can go beyond 2 million if possible)
 * TD% = Total Damage %
 * BD% = Damage towards Boss monsters %, or colloquially Boss Damage %
 * CD% = Critical Damage % (A random number wihin the Critical Damage % Range only for Critical Hits, if the hit is not critical this is set as 0. Damage Over Time and Summons cannot be critical)
 * FDB = Final Damage Boost (either Character Cards, Inner Ability ot specific Skills %)
 * MD% = Monster DEF %
 * ID% = Ignore DEF % (The full multiplicative value is used)
 * MR = Monster Elemental Resistance
 * IR% = Ignore Elemental Resistance % (Additive with each other)


 * Notes:
 * Your full, actual damage range is used rather than the displayed one (meaning this can be beyond 2 million)
 * Skills that increases damage additively (denoted as +% or +%p/percentage points), are added to the Skill % additively.
 * Skills that increases damage multiplicatively are treated as Total Damage % and will add to TD% (including Hyper Reinforce Skills except Damage Over Time Hypers and Splitter Hypers).
 * Skills that increases damage multiplicatively and are multiplied last are treated as Final Damage Boost and will add towards FDB. It will increase the regular damage before FDB by the stated percentage. Multiple FDBs are stacked multiplicatively with each other.
 * Final Damage Boost also includes Damage Over Time Hypers for Damage Over Time as well as Splitter Hypers (negative Final Damage Boost).
 * Final Damage Boost also includes Star Force DEF if you have insufficient Star Force (negative Final Damage Boost) in Star Force maps.
 * Also includes effects that add a small amount to the actual damage dealt (Example: 3 Warrior/Magician cards Deck effect, Weapon DEF/Magic DEF/Accuracy/Avoidability to Damage Conversion Inner Abilities, Paladin and Ice/Lightning Mage and Thunder Breaker and Blaze Wizard and Buccaneer card effect). These effects are applied before the percentages ones do.
 * All % in the above formulas are written in terms of decimals and are formulated into a numerical boost before rounded down. Multiple sources that provides the same boost are additive to each other (except for Final Damage Boosts, which stacks multiplicatively).
 * If your attack is accurate, minimum damage is 1.

Level Difference Damage Multiplier

 * If you are more than 10 levels below the monster's level, you will deal the regular damage.
 * Otherwise, your damage is increased by 20%. (Multiplied as Final Damage Boost)

Ignore DEF

 * Displayed Value (in %): [100- RoundDown[100 \times (1-ID 1) \times (1-ID n)]]
 * Actual Ignore DEF Applied: [100-[100 \times (1-ID 1) \times (1-ID n)]]

ID n is non-exhaustive and takes every single Ignore DEF source as a separate source. So for example, if your weapon has more than 1 line of Ignore DEF, they are treated separately and not summed up together before applying it as 1 source.
 * Note that the one displayed in your stats window is rounded up value but when used in calculation, the regular value without rounding up is used.

Ignore DEF can be obtained by (Percentages are multiplied together using the conpliment value, which is the non-ignored DEF value):
 * Zero Rhinne's Blessing Link Skill (2%/4%/6%/10%)
 * Luminous Light Wash Link Skill (10%/15%/20%)
 * Pirate Set Character Card Deck (2%/4%/6%/8%)
 * Ambition Trait (0.5% per 5 levels of Ambition rounded down, up till 10%)
 * Hyper Stats (Up till 30%)
 * Certain Job Skills

 * Certain Equipments
 * Fafnir/Absolab Weapon (10%)
 * Fafnir Pants (5%)
 * Fafnir Top (5%)
 * Fafnir/Absolab Hat (10%)
 * Absolab Overall (10%)
 * Certain Equipment Sets

Monster Elemental Resistance
Monsters may have a certain level of resistance towards certain elements. Physical is also an element. In general, most bosses have strong resistance against all elements.

The table below shoes the impact of monster elemental resistance on the damage dealt to it (based on the above damage formula output'''.

Ignore Monster Elemental Resistance can be obtained by the following ways:
 * Insight Trait (0.5% every 10 levels of Insight rounded down, up till 5%)
 * Magician Elemental Reset Skills (10%)

Star Force Maps
If the map requires a certain Star Force, if you did not meet the requirement your damage dealt will be reduced accordingly based on how far away are your Star Force from the requirement.

Star Force can be obtained by Star Force Enhancement (can be used only when all upgrade slots are used.
 * Every 1 Star obtained on other equips except Overalls is equal to 1 Star Force.
 * Every 1 Star obtained on an Overall is equal to 2 Star Force.
 * Maximum Stars allowed on an equipment varies with type and level of the equipment, as well as the server (different server have different versions of Star Force Enhancement).
 * Non-Superior Equips
 * Superior Equips

Reveal Potential Cost
$$Cost = EquipmentLevelRequirement^2 \times Constant$$where constant equals to
 * 0 when $$ EquipmentLevelRequirement < 31 $$
 * 0.25 when $$ 30 < EquipmentLevelRequirement < 71 $$
 * 2.5 when $$ 70 < EquipmentLevelRequirement < 121 $$
 * 20 when $$ EquipmentLevelRequirement > 120 $$


 * Note:
 * Prices formulated in the above formulas are based on the original Equipment Level Requirement, that means excluding Additional Option Equipment Level Reduction.
 * Prices for Equipments Level 70 or less (before Additional Option Level Reduction) are fully waived if your Insight Trait is Level 60-89.
 * Prices for Equipments Level 120 or less (before Additional Option Level Reduction) are fully waived if your Insight Trait is Level 90 or higher.

Critical Rate
There are a few ways to obtain Critical Chance.
 * Basic Chance: +5% (including Beginners)
 * Job-based Critical Chance Increasing Skills: Varies based on Job and the Skill Level.
 * Sharp Eyes Buff (original version): +6% to +25% based on Skill Level and whether or not Sharp Eyes - Bonus Chance is added as Hyper Skill.
 * Decent Sharp Eyes Buff: +10%
 * Beast Tamer's Link Skill: +4% for Skill Level 1, +7% for Skill Level 2, +10% for Skill Level 3
 * Phantom's Instinct Link Skill: +10% for Skill Level 1, +15% for Skill Level 2, +20% for Skill Level 3
 * Event Critical Rings (Dark Explorer, Zero): +15%
 * Explorer Critical Ring: +12%
 * Onyx Critical Rate Ring: +10%
 * Hyper Stats: +1% to 15% based on the Stat Level (+1% per level, with an extra +1% per level for Stat Level beyond 5)

 * Soul Weapon: Up till +12% based on the Augmented Boss Soul applied as well as your luck when adding the soul.
 * Marksman Character Card: +1% to +4% based on Card Rank.
 * Primary Weapon Nebulites (only in GMS): +4% to +10% based on Nebulite rank and the value that comes with it.

These items listed below are slightly more special as they totally replace the critical rate by its value rather than to add on to the existing one.
 * Critical Shift Ring (Level 1/2): Replace Critical Chance by 9% of the Base Main Stat (Number of AP added into HP for Demon Avengers, Base LUK only for Xenon) for a short time. Generally, it requires Level 219 or higher and adds all AP into the main stat for 100% Critical Chance, excluding Xenon (unless all AP is added to LUK).
 * Critical Shift Ring (Level 3/4): Replace Critical Chance by 10% of the Base Main Stat (Number of AP added into HP for Demon Avengers, Base LUK only for Xenon) for a short time. Generally, it requires Level 197 or higher and adds all AP into the main stat for 100% Critical Chance, excluding Xenon (unless all AP is added to LUK).

Minimum Critical Damage
You can increase your Minimum Critical Damage by a few ways. If your Minimum Critical Damage surpass your Maximum Critical Damage, your Applied Maximum Critical Damage will be your Theoretical Minimum Critical Damage and your Applied Minimum Critical Damage will be your Theoretical Maximum Critical Damage.
 * Basic: +20%

If your Minimum Critical Damage surpass your Maximum Critical Damage, your Applied Maximum Critical Damage will be your Theoretical Minimum Critical Damage and your Applied Minimum Critical Damage will be your Theoretical Maximum Critical Damage.
 * Basic: +50%
 * Various Job Skills: Based on Job and its respective Skill Level.
 * Sharp Eyes Buff (original version): +1% to +30% based on Skill Level.

 * Max Crit Ring Buff: Your Maximum Critical Damage will be multiplied by ×1.25 to ×2 based on the Ring's Skill Level for a short duration.

Defense

 * Weapon Defense (Weapon DEF):
 * $$ [STR \times 1.2 + (DEX +LUK)/2+ INT \times 0.4 + EquipWeaponDEF + SkillWeaponDEF] \times (1+WeaponDEF %)$$
 * Magic Defense (Magic DEF):
 * $$ [STR \times 0.4 + (DEX +LUK)/2 + INT \times 1.2 + EquipMagicDEF + SkillMagicDEF] \times (1+MagicDEF%)$$
 * Note
 * $$ WeaponDEF% $$ and $$ MagicDEF% $$ affects only Weapon DEF and Magic DEF respectively but both are additive and are expressed in decimal.
 * $$ EquipmentWeaponDEF $$ and $$SkillWeaponDEF $$ only affects Weapon DEF while $$ EquipmentMagicDEF $$ and $$ SkillMagicDEF$$ only affects Magic DEF.

Monster's Damage
Maximum monster damage: Whichever's lower.
 * Note:
 * All Damage reduction effect from skills and equipments are calculated after the regular defense formula.
 * This does not work on attacks that deals fixed damage (damage based on % of your HP, reducing HP value to 1, poison damage overtime, fall damage)
 * $$ (MonsterATT\times [1-\sqrt {CharacterDEF}/200+0.02\times (MonsterLevel-CharacterLevel)])\times (1-DamageAbsorbed %)$$ OR
 * $$ [MonsterATT- (CharacterDEF/4) + 4 \times (MonsterLevel-CharacterLevel)]\times (1-DamageAbsorbed%)$$
 * Note:
 * For Monster ATT, it goes through a random number generator from 85% to 100% of the ATT Value, before your DEF is applied. Does not apply to %HP Attacks.
 * If monster ATT is a weapon ATT, Character DEF will be weapon DEF; if the monster ATT is a magic ATT, Character DEF will be magic DEF.
 * $$ DamageAbsorbed% $$ is additive and is expressed in decimals, which works for all attacks except Damage based on % of your HP (unless the skill states so, then only that skill's value will be taken into account for %HP Attacks).
 * If $$(Character Level > MonsterLevel) $$, $$(MonsterLevel-CharacterLevel) = 0 $$
 * If $$MaximumMonsterDamage > MonsterATT$$, $$ MaximumMonsterDamage = MonsterATT$$
 * If $$ MaximumMonsterDamage < 1 $$, $$ MaximumMonsterDamage = 1 $$

Accuracy

 * Weapon Accuracy:
 * $$ [DEX \times 1.2 + LUK + EquipmentAccuracy + SkillAccuracy] \times (1+Accuracy %)$$
 * Magic Accuracy:
 * $$ [INT + LUK \times 1.2 + EquipmentAccuracy + SkillAccuracy] \times (1+Accuracy %)$$
 * Maximum Accuracy Cap: $$RoundDown [9999 \times (1+SkillAccuracy%)] $$
 * Note:
 * $$ Accuracy% $$ affects both weapon and magic accuracy, is additive and expressed in decimals.
 * Only $$SkillAccuracy% $$ affects the Accuracy Cap.
 * $$ EquipmentAccuracy $$ and $$ SkillAccuracy $$ affects both weapon and magic accuracy.

Hit Rate
Hit Rate (in %)
 * $$100 + \sqrt{CharacterAccuracy} - \sqrt{Monster Avoidability} - (MonsterLevel-CharacterLevel) \times 2$$
 * Note:
 * If it is a weapon attack, Weapon accuracy is used for Character Accuracy; if a magic attack is used, magic accuracy will be used.
 * If $$ (100+\sqrt{CharacterAccuracy} - \sqrt {MonsterAvoidability}) > 100$$, $$(100+\sqrt {CharacterAccuracy}-\sqrt {MonsterAvoidability}) = 100 $$, before level difference accuracy penalty is applied.
 * If $$Character Level > Monster Level $$, then $$(MonsterLevel-CharacterLevel) = 0 $$.
 * If $$ Hit Rate > 100 $$, $$ HitRate=100% $$


 * In general $$ \sqrt{MonsterAvoidability} = MonsterLevel/10 $$. Special cases are Zakum where $$ \sqrt{MonsterAvoidability} = \sqrt{144} = 12 $$, and Pink Bean where $$ \sqrt{Monster Avoidability} = \sqrt{625} = 25 $$.

Avoidability

 * Weapon Avoidability:
 * $$ [DEX + LUK \times 2 + EquipmentAvoidability + Skill Avoidability] \times (1+Avoidability %) $$
 * Magic Avoidability:
 * $$ [INT + LUK \times 2 + EquipmentAvoidability + SkillAvoidability] \times (1+Avoidability %)$$
 * Note
 * $$ Avoidability% $$ applies to both Weapon and Magic Avoidability, is additive and is expressed in decimal.
 * $$ EquipmentAvoidability $$ and $$ SkillAvoidbability $$ applies to both Weapon and Magic Avoidability.

Dodge rate
Note: Skills that have its own dodge mechanism will work before the regular avoidability formula. Evasion rate boost works differently and only adds to the avoidability dodge rate.


 * Dodge Chance (in %):
 * $$[\sqrt {Character Avoidability} - \sqrt {Monster Accuracy} - 2 \times (Monster Level - Character Level)] \times (1+Evasion Rate %)$$


 * Note:
 * If Monster ATT is Weapon ATT, Character Avoidability will be weapon avoidability; if Monster ATT is magic ATT, Character avoidability will be magic avoidability.
 * $$ EvasionRate% $$ is expressed in decimal and is additive.
 * If $$Character Level > Monster Level $$, $$(Monster Level - Character Level) = 0 $$
 * If $$Dodge Chance > 90% $$, $$ Dodge Chance = 90% $$

Experience
Monster level and character level difference EXP penalty: $$RoundUp[(Monster Level - Character Level - 20)/2] \times 5%$$
 * If $$(Character Level + 20) > Monster Level $$, EXP penalty = $$0%$$
 * Maximum EXP penalty = $$60%$$
 *  Base EXP received by you when in party (when you are eligible for leech): $$Round [MonsterEXP \times (0.2 \times Damage Dealt / Monster HP + 0.8 \times Level / Party Level)]$$
 * Party Bonus EXP: $$ [Round (ReceivedMonsterEXP \times Party Bonus Multiplier) + 1] $$
 * Excess damage dealt when the monster's HP is depleted to 0 is disregarded.
 * Received Monster EXP means the amount of EXP received by you after a monster is killed by your party.
 * Round means round off to the nearest integer.
 * Attacking Members means the number of people in your party fighting that exact same monster. That monster when killed will then give slightly more party bonus.
 * Leechable member means that the party member is eligible for a share of the monster's EXP after being killed by the party. (Does not apply if the level difference between the highest level member and the lowest level member is 41 or more.)

Leech condition
Party Level is calculated as the sum of the levels of all eligible members of the party. Ineligible members are excluded from all calculations, and receive no EXP. Eligible party members must meet one of the following requirements:
 * Do damage to the monster.
 * Within 5 levels of the monster
 * Within 5 levels of a character in the party who meets both requirements.
 * Level gap between the highest levelled character and the lowest levelled character must be 40 or less. If it exceeds this gap limit, the killer gets all the EXP while the other members will not receive any leech EXP including high levelled characters who exceeded monster level. If this happens EXP is distributed solely on damage, without giving any party bonus EXP.

Party Bonus is increased based on the number of members attacking the same monsters. However if you are lazy do not bother trying to trigger this bonus as it caps at 3 members and only gives 10% EXP which adds with normal party bonus. However this will encourage people to fight the same monster for more bonus.

EXP stacking

 * Additive multipliers such as elven blessing is added after the multiplicative multipliers. Example: I have Holy Symbol and Level 1 Elven blessing. My EXP Multiplier will be 100% × 1.5 + 10% = 160% and not 165%
 * Multipliers of the same group cannot stack, so the higher multiplier will be taken (only for Group 1 and 2).
 * For the Additive EXP Buffs, Skill Additive EXP Bonuses are calculated together before it is truncated. Example: I have S rank Zero Card (+8%) and Level 2 Elven Blessing (+15%). The Additive line will multiply the base EXP by a total of 23% before rounding off it.
 * However, for Potion EXP, Buff EXP and Equip Item Bonus, the EXP is rounded off after calculating all the bonus EXP in the individual Bonus EXP lines. This means that the EXP is rounded off once for Additive line, once for Potion EXP, once for Buff Bonus EXP and once for Equip Item Bonus, which may cause you to gain about 3 EXP since under each Bonus EXP line, rounding off happens as compared to adding all the EXP additive multipliers as one and round off only after adding all the EXP up.
 * If the monster is meant to give EXP but the Bonus EXP is calculated to give less than 1 EXP due to the low amount of monster EXP given, each line will give 1 EXP minimum.
 * Multi Kill EXP and Burning field Bonus EXP uses a truncaion system rather than a rounding off system.

The lines below use a truncation system rather than a rounding off system. +1/2/3/3.3/3.6/3.9/4.2/4.5% EXP per monster for 3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10+ Multi kill count (In other words, killing 3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10+ monster within an attack skill.) Truncation happens only after adding up all the Monster EXP obtained within that skill and multiplying by its respective percentages.
 * Multi kill

+10%/20%/30%/40%/50%/60%/70%/80%/90%/100% for a Burning Field Level 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10 respectively. Level increases as the amount of time it is vacant increases (every hour) and decreases when it is occupied (every 10 minutes).
 * Burning Field Bonus

Combo Kill
Combo kill happens when you kill multiple monsters quickly. It activates when you kill the second monster within 10 seconds after the first monster is killed by you and it activates subsequently with more monsters getting killed. A combo orb is made on the map at the area which the monsters die during the attack per 50 combo kills made based on combo kill count. Maximum combo kill count is 999 but combo orbs will continue to appear after 999 combo kills every 50 combo kills. The bonus EXP received is based on the combo orb and the lower levelled regular monster's EXP (based on an unknown generic formula), which means that if you are training on a map that contains 2 different levelled monsters, your combo kill bonuses are based on the General EXP of the lower levelled regular monsters. Note that the Bonus EXP is the same regardless of the EXP and difficulty of the monster, so the boost is much lower if you are training on Star Force maps or certain special maps with super-buffed monsters. In addition, you will receive a max speed and max jump boost for 5 seconds after absorbing a combo orb.

What this means is that if you were to kill multiple monsters at once, you will still receive the same amount of combo kill bonus EXP as if you were to kill a monster at a time, making multi kills extremely unfavourable.

Assuming that monsters gave regular exp, if your character does not have Aran link skill, you have:
 * 50 to 300 combo kill


 * 350 to 700 combo kill


 * 750 combo kills and beyond (every 50 combo kills)

If your character has Level 1 Aran link skill, you have:
 * 50 to 300 combo kill


 * 350 to 700 combo kill


 * 750 combo kills and beyond (every 50 combo kills)

If your character has Level 2 Aran link skill, you have:
 * 50 to 300 combo kill


 * 350 to 700 combo kill


 * 750 combo kills and beyond (every 50 combo kills)

As you can see, combo kill EXP bonus gets worse as you kill more monsters within a combo kill while the multi kill EXP bonus does not cover up the lost EXP in every single case, especially if you have the Aran Link Skill (in fact the multi kill bonus might as well be non-existent). Therefore it is best to use projectile-based attacks (such as magic arrows of bowmasters, Bat Swarm of Demon Avengers) or Hurricane-like skills to accumulate combo kill quickly than to kill many monsters at once since the bonus EXP rate simply decreases heavily, assuming kill rate is about the same.

Multi kill
Multi kill happens when you kill 3 or more monsters within a killing spree (1 skill). It ranges from 3 monsters to 10+ monsters. You also receive bonus EXP from this and the bonus is also calculated only once but the bonus is given based on the number of monsters killed.

The total amount of SP a character will have at any level varies per job.

Hyper skill SP
Hyper skils have 2 categories of SP: SP and AP. SP stands for Skill-Passive Points and AP stands for Active-skill Points. Every job has its unique SP and AP skill list, since their active skills will differ from jobs and their skill upgrades will depend on its job skills.

Zero will not receive any Hyper Skill SP as they are the Transcendents of Time, so they will receive Transcedent Skills instead of Hyper Skills, which are automatically mastered when certain levels are met for the specific skills.
