The sections of this article detail various formulas and tables within the game. For all percentage based stats, take it as a whole number.

Stats Related

There are 4 stats: STR, DEX, INT and LUK. When the game states All Stats, it simply means STR, DEX, INT and LUK, nothing else. There are a few components that contribute to your total stats.

Pure Stats

It is the stats that is permanently tied to the character when there are no effects applied to it. Each stat has a default value of 4 as pure stat and Ability Points (AP) is used to increase this. Each character starts with 4 AP, with character level (Level 1 inclusive) providing 5 AP, as well as 3rd Job and 4th Job Advancements giving 5 AP each. In general, total AP is as follows:

  • Before 3rd Job:
  • 3rd Job:
  • 4th Job and beyond:

The maximum number of AP that a Level 275 character will get is 1,389 AP.

There are a few ways to identify the pure stats.

  • In the Stats Window, the 4 stats (STR, DEX, INT, LUK) will be shown as: Total Stat (Pure Stat + Additional Stat)
  • When logging into the character before entering 2nd password, the stats shown at the right side is the pure stats.

For Demon Avenger's Pure HP, it is calculated as follows (assume all AP added into HP, each AP gives 15 Pure HP):

  • 1st Job:
  • 2nd Job:
  • 3rd Job: (additional Pure HP compared to 2nd job is given in the form of 5 additional AP)
  • 4th Job and beyond: (additional Pure HP compared to 3rd job is given in the form of 5 additional AP)

Note: If AP has been forcefully reset by the game, there may be a permanent adjustment to old Demon Avengers' Pure HP.

  • MSEA: 2nd job and above Demon Avengers made before 30 January 2019: Pure HP +200

Added Stats

Any additional effects that are non-percentages and are affected by percentage increases, are considered as Added Stats. Basically, any sources of stats will be classified under this, except:

For effects that increases based on a proportion of pure stats, increase amount is rounded down and classified as Added Stats. There are a few skills with such effects:

  • 4th Job Maple Warrior: +1%~+16%
  • 5th Job Pirate's Banner: +10%~+25% for party members near the flag

For Totalling Ring, the increase in stats will be calculated first based on the sum of stats at the time of casting, rounded down, then classified as added stats.

Special Job Effects
  • Demon Avenger: HP (non percentage) on equipments and set effects is halved.
  • Kanna: MP (non percentage) on equipments is added as Added HP.

Base Total Stats is the sum of Pure Stats and Added Stats, rounded down. In other words: , rounded down.

Percentage Stats

Percentage Stats will increase the stat by a percentage of the base total stat. Percentage stats are mostly found in:

  • Job Skills
  • Echo of Hero: +4% ATT and Magic ATT for 40 minutes, cooldown 2 hours (buff is applied to everyone in the same map when used)
  • Equipment Potentials
  • Certain Link Skills
  • Equipment Bonus Stats (STR, DEX, INT, LUK only)
  • Hyper Stats (HP and MP only)
  • Set Effects (usually only for HP and MP)
  • Dominator Pendant (+10% HP and MP), Chaos Horntail Necklace (+10% HP and MP), Source of Pain (+5% HP)
  • Alchemy Potion (All Stats +5%/10% for 40 minutes, cooldown 60/50 minutes respectively)

For All Stats %, it is basically the same as STR %, DEX %, INT % and LUK %, just that all stats are increased at the same time at the same percentage. It is added to singular percentage increases and not multiplied.

After increasing the base total stats by the percentage, the end result is rounded down.

Final Stats Increase

Final Stats is the non-percentage increases that are also not affected by percentages. There are only a few sources for this:

For Final ATT/Magic ATT, it is only found in these sources:

Final Total Stats

Essentially, the final total stats is calculated as follows: , rounded down.

All Stats, HP, MP, DEF, ATT and Magic ATT is calculated separately with each stat using the same stat throughout the calculation.

Damage Related

Damage is made up of various components.

Weapon Multiplier

It is the hidden multiplier that will affect damage dealt. It varies based on the weapon worn and the job. For most jobs, it is not so important as most jobs only have 1 weapon to choose.

Wand, Staff 1.00 (1.20 for Explorers and Blaze Wizards)
One-handed Blunt Weapon, Shining Rod, Psy Limiter, Magic Gauntlet 1.20
One-handed Sword, One-handed Axe 1.20 (1.30 for Hero)
Katana (Hayato) 1.25
Bow, Dagger, Katara (Dual Blade), Dual Bowguns, Cane, Desperado, Energy Chain (Cadena), Ancient Bow, Buchae, Tuner 1.30
Whip Blade/Energy Sword (Xenon) 1.3125
Two-handed Blunt Weapon, Long Sword (Lazuli), Scepter 1.34
Two-handed Sword, Two-handed Axe 1.34 (1.44 for Hero)
Crossbow, Fan 1.35
Spear, Polearm, Great Sword (Lapis) 1.49
Gun, Cannon 1.50
Knuckle, Soul Shooter, Arm Cannon/Revolver (Blaster) 1.70
Claw 1.75

Mastery

Mastery is the weapon proficiency which allows more consistent damage.

  • Physical melee:
  • Physical ranged:
  • Magic:

Mastery is capped at 99%.

The following skills provide mastery for all jobs, except Hayato and Kanna

  • All 2nd job Mastery: +14%~+50%
  • All 4th job Expert: +6%~+22% (it will be written as +56%~+72% but this value replaces the 2nd Job Mastery)

For Zero, there is no 2nd job mastery skill, instead it will come from Long/Broad Sword Mastery directly as a 4th Job equivalent skill.

Additional Mastery
  • Hayato: Beginner Skill (+75%)
  • Kanna: Beginner Skill (+40%), 4th job Kasen (+11%~+27%)
  • Kinesis: 4th Job Critical Rush Skill (+1% every 30 to 49 Combo Kill)
  • Paladin: 4th Job Paladin Expert (+3%)

Stat Value

  • All Jobs except Demon Avenger:
  • Demon Avenger:
Note
  • Total HP ignores the 500,000 practical HP limit. Mouse over the "HP" section in the Ability Stats to view the Total HP if it exceeded 500,000.
  • Pure HP is worth 25% more compared to HP from other sources. However the 2 groups are rounded down (floor function) individually before summed up (which means that a difference of 1-3 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 reference below:
Class Primary Stat Secondary Stat
Warrior (Except Demon Avenger) STR DEX
Magician INT LUK
Bowman DEX STR
Thief (Except Shadowers, Dual Blades, Cadena and Xenon) LUK DEX
Thief (Shadowers, Dual Blades, Cadena) LUK DEX+STR
Pirate (Gun users, Angelic Buster) DEX STR

Certain sources will increase damage conditionally (not displayed in Damage % stat), such as:

Damage to Normal Monsters

Basically the same as Damage % but only works on normal monsters. Added to Damage % when calculating output.

Possible sources include:

  • Muspell Equipment Set: +2%/+6%/+12% total for 3/4/5 items worn respectively
  • Pensalir Equipment Set: +2%/+6%/+12%/+20% total for 3/4/5/6 items worn respectively

  • Inner Ability: +2%~+10%
  • Guild Skill: +3%~+12%
  • Certain Skills

Damage to Boss Monsters

Basically the same as Damage % but only applies to boss monsters. Added to Damage % when calculating output.

Some sources include:

Certain sources will increase damage to boss monsters conditionally (not displayed in Damage to Boss Monsters % stat), such as:

  • Job Specific Skills
  • Hyper Skill Boss Slayer
  • Enhance Core Skill Level 70 Bonus Effect (unobtainable as of now)

Final Damage

  • Total Final Damage % for n sources of final damage percentage increase:
 100×[(1+Final%1/100)×(1+Final%2/100)×...×(1+Final%n/100)]-100

The result is rounded off but when applied to the damage range, it is left in decimals. Final Damage is non exhaustive and each additional source will multiply on top of one another.

It is usually only found in skills. Certain skills can provide final damage bonuses to party members, as follows:

  • Bishop: Pray (+5%~+45% based on user's INT and skill level)
  • Kanna: Spirit Domain (+5%~+33% based on skill level and stack level)

Ignore DEF

  • Total Ignore DEF % for n sources of ignore DEF:
 100-[100×(1-ID1/100)×(1-ID2/100)×...×(1-IDn/100)]

The result is rounded up but when applied to the damage range, it is left in decimals.

Ignore DEF is non exhaustive and each additional source will multiply on top of one another. Ignore DEF on the same equipment appearing multiple times, or skills with hyper passive to ignore DEF and 5th Job enhancement passive (Level 40), are treated as separate sources rather than added into 1 source. Example: 20% hyper passive + 20% 5th job level 40 skill enhancement = +36% Ignore DEF and not +40% Ignore DEF, then the 36% Ignore DEF can be treated as 1 source from the skill.

  • Ignore DEF % gained additively (when a new source is added):
 (Ignore DEF value of new source)×[1-(Current Total Ignore DEF %)/100]

Ignore DEF can be obtained by (Percentages are multiplied together using the conpliment value, which is the non-ignored DEF value):

Final multiplier

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 shows the impact of monster elemental resistance on the damage dealt to it.

Monster Elemental Resistance Final Damage Changes
Weak +50%
Neutral 0%
Strong -50%
Immune -100%

Ignore Monster Elemental Resistance will be used to counter the resistance of the monster. It is multiplied rather than direct subtraction of percentage points (Example: 10% ignore on a strong resistance brings down the final damage reduction from 50% to 45% (50% × 0.9), not 40%).

It can be obtained by the following ways:

  • Insight Trait: +0.5% every 10 levels of Insight rounded down, up till +5%

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. This will be applied after all calculations above as final damage, before adding "DEF to Damage" Inner Ability.

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.

Arcane Force Maps

If the map requires a certain Arcane Force, your damage dealt will be adjusted accordingly based on how far away are your Arcane Force from the requirement. This will be applied after all calculations above as final damage, before adding "DEF to Damage" Inner Ability.

Arcane force requirement met (in %, rounded down) Final Damage Changes
0% to 9% -90%
10% to 29% -70%
30% to 49% -40%
50% to 69% -30%

100% to 109% 0%
110% to 129% +10%
130% to 149% +30%
150% or higher +50%

Arcane Force can be obtained from equipping Arcane Symbols and other ways. There are 6 Arcane Symbols available.

  • Arcane Symbol (quest item, replaced by Arcane Symbol : Road to Extinction)
  • Arcane Symbol : Road to Extinction
  • Arcane Symbol : Chew Chew Island
  • Arcane Symbol : Lacheln
  • Arcane Symbol : Arcana
  • Arcane Symbol : Moras
  • Arcane Symbol : Esfera

Arcane Symbol starts with 30 Arcane Force (Level 1), it can be enhanced up to Level 20. Once there is sufficient number of Duplicate symbols, you can pay mesos to level up the Symbol. Each level up provides extra 10 Arcane Force.

  • Required number of symbols to level up:
  • Required mesos to level up
    • Vanishing Journey:
    • Others:

Therefore the theoretical maximum Arcane Force possible purely from Arcane Symbols as of now is 1,320 Arcane Force.

Arcane Force also comes from :

Utility Related

Abnormal Status Resistance

Abnormal Status Resistance reduces duration of Abnormal Status inflicted on you. Duration is shorter when your Abnormal Status Resistance is higher, at a reducing rate.

Duration Reduction in %
, rounded down.

Duration of Abnormal Status are in exact time and not rounded down, so each percentage point of reduction will contribute to the duration even though it might just be a fraction of a second.

You can obtain Abnormal Status Resistance from the following ways (may not be exhaustive):

Knockback Resistance

Knockback Resistance, also known as Stance, is the chance of resisting small knockback when you are hit by monster attacks of minimum 1 damage (except damage over time effects, which does not cause knockbacks). Certain monster attacks or certain maps will ignore knockback resistance and will knock you back if you got hit, regardless of knockback resistance (even if it is 100%). Certain monster attacks will also cause super knockback and pushes you a fair distance backwards, leaving you immobile until your invincibility after attack has ended. However, for super knockbacks, it may or may not ignore knockback resistance.

Knockback Resistance can be obtained by:

The following effects will replace stance rate rather than increasing on top of other effects:

  • Stance Shift Ring (Level 1/2): Replace Knockback Resistance by 9% of the Base Main Stat (Number of AP added into HP for Demon Avengers, Base LUK only for Xenon) for 9 seconds (Skill level 1) / 11 seconds (Skill level 2) Generally, it requires Level 219 or higher and adds all AP into the main stat for 100% Knockback Resistance, excluding Xenon (unless all AP is added to LUK).
  • Stance Shift Ring (Level 3/4): Replace Knockback Resistance by 10% of the Base Main Stat (Number of AP added into HP for Demon Avengers, Base LUK only for Xenon) for 13 seconds (Skill level 3) / 15 seconds (Skill level 4). Generally, it requires Level 197 or higher and adds all AP into the main stat for 100% Knockback Resistance, excluding Xenon (unless all AP is added to LUK).

The Warrior Common 5th Job skill Impenetrable Skin and certain job skills will resist all knockbacks, including those attacks that ignore knockback resistance when the buff is active.

Attack Delay

Attack Delay is influenced by the weapon's Attack Speed, which ranges from a scale of 2 to 9 (Faster, Fast, Normal, Slow, Slower). Note that Attack Speed of the same category may have different Attack Speed values. To avoid confusion, the scale will be identified as "Attack Delay Level" as it may contradict that a lower attack speed actually means faster striking speed.

Attack Speed/Attack Delay Level can also be modified from the following (may not be exhaustive, negative means the Delay Level is reduced so you attack faster):

  • Various Job Skills: usually -2 for booster and -1 for passive if available
  • Pharaoh Snake debuff: +2
  • Inner Ability: -1
  • Decent Speed Infusion: -1 (Does not stack with Speed Infusion)
  • Speed Infusion: -2 (Does not stack with Decent Speed Infusion)
  • V Buff: -1 for 30 minutes
  • Rune of Swiftness: -3 for 3~4.5 minutes, surpass limit
  • Rune of Destruction: -1 for 3~4.5 minutes, surpass limit
  • Extreme Green Potion: -1 for 30 minutes, surpass limit
  • Swift Ring: -2 for 9/11/13/15 seconds based on Ring's Skill level respectively with 3 minute cooldown, surpass limit
Note
  • Attack Delay Level has a minimum limit of 2.
  • If you have at least a modifier that surpass limit, Attack Delay Level can be reduced to 0 (need not be only modifiers that surpass limit).
Attack Delay (in milliseconds)

Note:

  • Certain skills are not affected, such as Hurricane (these skills have a fixed Delay instead of a Base Delay that is influenced by Attack Speed)
  • Normal Attack is also influenced by Attack Speed.

Bind Skill Duration

Based on the damage done by the bind skill, the bind duration varies. The bind has a minimum duration based on the skill level (10 second at maximum) and can be increased by another 100% of this base duration, depending on the damage done by the bind skill itself.

Bind Skill Duration Extension % (max 100% extension)

In simpler terms, for every 0.1% of monster HP dealt by only the bind itself, bind duration extends by 1% (0.1 second if the base is 10 seconds)

The exact same monster can be binded only once every 90 seconds by any bind skill with the duration extension mechanic. However, Kanna's Vanquisher Bind and Hyper Attack skill, as well as Zero's Critical Bind have separate resistance cooldown.

Skill Duration

Final Buff Duration
, where Buff% is additive to one another and does not affect 5th job skills, Hyper skills, Oz/Detectives Ring skills and skills that specifically states so.

You can obtain Buff Duration % (Buff%) from the following:

  • Certain Job Skills
  • Inner Ability: +7%~+50%
  • Empathy Trait: +1% every 10 Empathy level rounded down, up to +10%
  • Mechanic Union Attacker: +5%/+10%/+15%/+20%/+25% based on attacker rank
  • Union Buff Duration: +1% per grid within the boundary covered up to +40% for maximum boundary.
  • Monster Farm Petite Arkarium: +5%
  • Monster Farm Von Bon: +5%
  • Monster Farm Commander Will: +6%
Summon Creature Duration

Same logic applies but buff duration % affects buffs only while summon creature duration % affects summons only (excluding 5th job skills).

You can obtain Summon Creature Duration % from the following:

  • Certain Job Skills (mostly Mechanics)
  • Captain/Corsair Union Attacker: +4%/+6%/+8%/+10%/+12% based on attacker rank
  • Monster Farm "Yeti" Category: +1%~+7% based on highest rank monster owned and alive.
  • Monster Farm Spiderling: +1%
  • Monster Farm Bully Jack: +6%
  • Monster Farm Yeti Couple in Love: +7%

Skill Cooldown

All skills except Hyper Skills are affected by cooldown reduction.

Final Skill Cooldown (applies to all skills including skills unaffected by cooldown resets, except hyper skills)
  • PotentialCDR will not apply if the cooldown after reductions is less than 5 seconds.
  • PotentialCDR will apply at the rate of 0.05% reduction for every 0.01 second of cooldown reduction if the cooldown after reductions is 5~10 seconds. Cooldown cannot be lower than 5 seconds. The conversion happens as soon as the cooldown is lowered below 10 seconds, even if it is due to potential CDR itself
    • Example: 12 seconds skill cooldown with SS Mercedes Union Attacker (5%) and 5 seconds reduction from potentials, so the cooldown is 11.4 seconds after CDR%, then the first 1.4 seconds will be reduced normally (to 10 seconds) and the remaining 3.6 seconds is converted to 18% reduction, final skill cooldown will be 8.2 seconds)
  • CDR% sources include: Hyper Cooldown Cutter, Mercedes Union Attacker (2%~6% based on attacker rank)
  • PotentialCDR can be obtained from Legendary Potentials on Hats (1 or 2 seconds) and Legendary Additional Potentials on Hats (1 second)

Cooldown Reset

At a chance, cooldown is not applied. This stat is not applied to Hyper Skills, 5th Job Skills and skills which specifically states so. You can gain the chance by the following methods:

  • Ability: +5%~+20%
  • Monster Farm Big Operator's Balloon: +2%
  • Monster Farm Petite Eunwol: +4%

Note
  • The DEF formula does not apply to %HP Attacks.
  • If your DEF is still high enough to receive minimum monster damage even after the reduction of DEF effectiveness due to higher monster levels, you will receive the minimum damage as though the penalty did not exist if you got hit.
  • There are 2 types of further Damage reduction: Damage from enemy attacks reduction and Damage Absorption
    • Damage Reduction only works on attacks with a variance in damage (basically does not work on attacks with fixed damage), multiplied to the value of A.
    • Damage Absorption works on all attacks except for damage that deals %HP, multiplied to the value of A.
  • All Damage reduction effect from skills and equipments are calculated after the regular defense formula. Different sources of the same type adds up while the 2 different types will stack multiplicatively using each type's sum.

In general, to receive the absolute minimum damage according to the Defense logic (15.5% of monster ATT at maximum if you are 10 or more levels above monster level), it should match 80% of the monster's ATT value, assuming that the monster is not higher levelled than you.

Map-based Monster Damage Modifier

If it is a Star Force Map or an Arcane Force Map, monster damage dealt (not Monster ATT) will be multiplied by a constant based on your force levels. Multiplied to the value of A (Example: An initial value of A at 0.85 with a 30%~49% star force met will result in the value of A being: 0.85×2.4 = 2.04). Does not apply to %HP attacks.

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 % up to 90%)
Note
  • Monster will ignore 2%p of your dodge chance if you are lower levelled than the monster.
  • Dodge chance is limited to 90%.
  • For Crossbow Master/Marksman's Extreme Archery: Crossbow/Reckless Hunt:Crossbow skill, the value of DEX + 2×LUK is reduced by 5% per Skill Level (50% reduction at max).

Death EXP Loss

Refer to Ambition Trait for the basic loss (4th~5th Job characters)

  • For Beginner and 1st~1st+ Job characters, Basic Loss is 0%.
  • For 2nd~3rd+ Job characters, Basic Loss will be 5%p lower than stated.

Final EXP Lost %: , where ReduceLoss% is additive with one another, expressed in decimals.

You can obtain ReduceLoss% from the following:

  • Guild Skill "Fearless": +10%~+30% based on skill level
  • Monster Farm "Undead" Category: +1%~+7% based on highest rank monster owned and alive.
  • Safety Charm: +100%

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.

  • Level 140: 1 SP, 1 AP
  • Level 150: 1 SP
  • Level 160: 1 AP
  • Level 165: 1 SP
  • Level 180: 1 SP
  • Level 190: 1 SP, 1 AP
    • Total: 5 SP, 3 AP

Experience

Experience (EXP) is mainly gained by killing monsters and other methods. Monsters will give a fixed value of EXP, which can be directly affected by comparing your level against the monster level, cursed runes, and accursed effects on the character.

Level Difference

EXP adjustments applied is applied directly to basic EXP, which means all your EXP Boosts will also be affected by this. Not applicable to certain monsters.

  • 21 levels or more above monster's level: -10%, followed by -1% for every level above after 20 levels above, max -30%.
Lower level than monsters

Cursed Runes

If runes/baits are not taken 5 minutes after it spawn, there will be a final EXP penalty, which is applied directly to the basic EXP. However, there are certain exceptions where you will not be affected by the cursed rune:

  • You have taken a rune/bait and the rune/bait is on cooldown.
  • A bait in the map has been taken within the past 5 minutes. (Timer will reset to 0 after taking the bait even though there are still baits in the map)

The EXP multipliers as follows (Combo Orbs are also affected by this):

  • Cursed Rune Stage 1 (5:00~9:59 after rune/bait spawned): -50%
  • Cursed Rune Stage 2 (10:00~14:59 after rune/bait spawned): -65%
  • Cursed Rune Stage 3 (15:00~19:59 after rune/bait spawned): -80%
  • Cursed Rune Stage 4 (20:00 and beyond after rune/bait spawned): -100%

Accursed Effects

When a monster inflicts an accursed effect on the character, the character receives half the EXP and is applied directly to the basic EXP.

You can simply use an All Cure Potion to remove the curse or other similar methods to remove abnormal statuses, or wait for it to end.

Party EXP

  • Base EXP received by you when in party (when you are eligible for leech):
  • Party Bonus EXP:
    • 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.)

1 leechable member 0 Bishops 0% N/A N/A

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 the following requirements:

  • Level gap between the highest levelled character and the lowest levelled character must be 40 or less. If this happens EXP is distributed solely on damage, without giving any party bonus EXP.
  • Do damage to the monster, or the character must be of level at least equal to 5 levels below the monster or the character must be of level at least equal to 5 levels below a character in the party who dealt damage to the monster.
  • Members must be on active mode. If they are on inactive mode for 5 seconds (active mode switches to inactive mode after 5 seconds of no attacks), they will stop leeching EXP. The following situations describe what is counted as active (walking around is not counted as active):
    • Using buffs
    • Attacking (regardless whether or not it actually lands on a monster or not, summons are excluded)
    • Getting hit by monsters (regardless whether or not it deals damage or the character dodged it) / poisoned

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

  • Group 2 and Group 3 only stacks in GMS.
  • For the Additive EXP Buffs, Skill Additive EXP Bonuses are calculated together before it is rounded off. Example: The character has S rank Zero Union Attacker (+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.
  • Multi Kill EXP and Burning field Bonus EXP uses a truncaion system rather than a rounding off system.

Final EXP Multiplier will be as follows

  • GMS: (Group 1) × (Group 2) × (Group 3) × (Group 4) + Added multipliers
  • Non-GMS: (Group 1) × (Group 2 or Group 3, whichever's higher) × (Group 4) + Added multipliers

The lines below use a truncation system rather than a rounding off system.

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. The truncation is applied after the calculation and not per monster.

Multi kill count Bonus EXP per monster
3 +1%
4 +2%
5 +3%
6 +3.3%
7 +3.6%
8 +3.9%
9 +4.2%
10+ +4.5%
Burning Field Bonus

+10% per burning stage. It increases as it remains vacant every 1 hour and decreases when it is occupied and monsters are killed every 15 minutes. +100% for Burning Stage 10 maximum.

Events can modify this bonus in various ways:

  • Maximum Burning Stage increased to 15 (+150% for Stage 15)
  • Burning Stage lasting time increase (15 minutes -> 20 minutes)
  • Burning Stage increase time needed reduction (1 hour -> 45 minutes)
Splash Link Bonus

This is only applicable inside Splash Link during the event period. Note that Splash Link maps cannot have Burning Stage (so its equivalent to a permanent Stage 12 Burning map)

  • Splash Link Bonus: +120%

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 displayed is 9,999 but combo orbs will continue to appear after 9,999 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.

Combo Orbs are affected by Cursed Runes and if you are more than 20 levels below the lowest monster level in the map, no EXP is given. It is also not affected by level difference EXP multipliers if the character is eligible to gain combo orb EXP from the map.

Combo kill count Bonus EXP relative to lower levelled regular monster (Level 0/1/2 Aran Link Skill) Combo orb colour
50 to 349 500%/2500%/3750% (10%/50%/75% per combo kill) Blue
350 to 749 700%/3500%/5250% (14%/70%/105% per combo kill) Purple
750 to 1,999 1000%/5000%/7500% (20%/100%/150% per combo kill) Red
2,000 and beyond 1100%/5500%/8250% (22%/110%/165% per combo kill) Gold

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:

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. For monsters with amplified stats like Arcane River, the reduction effect will be less noticeable.

Meso Drop

Monsters drop a varying amount of mesos, the higher the monster level, the more mesos it will drop if it drops mesos (base chance of 60%, affected by drop rate increasing effects).

  • Minimum mesos dropped:
  • Maximum mesos dropped:

Reboot World Monsters will drop 5 times (6 times in GMS Reboot) the amount compared to non-Reboot worlds. Amount shown above assumes non-Reboot, +0% mesos obtained and no penalty from level difference (within 10 levels).

Mesos are denoted by various item-looking sprites based on the amount dropped.

  • Bronze Coin: 1~49 mesos
  • Gold Coin: 50~99 mesos
  • Stack of Notes: 100~999 mesos
  • Coin Sack: 1,000~50,000 mesos

Cash Item Twin Coupon will increase the base mesos dropped to 2x the original.

You can increase the mesos dropped by various ways (up to +300%), such as:

  • Legendary Potential on Accessory, Legendary Additional Potential on Armor and Accessory: +2%~+20% per line based on type of legendary potential, up to +100% total
  • Phantom Union Attacker: +1%~+5% based on attacker rank
  • Consumable Buffs (only the latest one used is applied)
    • Union Wealth Buff: +50% for 10/20/30 minutes

Additionally, the Guild Skill "Spotting Small Change" provides 4/6/8 mesos for each time mesos (must be dropped by a monster, not player) are picked up, either by the player himself/herself or by the party members.

Level Difference Penalty

Based on level difference between the character and the monster, it will drop a varying amount of mesos. This is applied as a final multiplier to the mesos dropped initially.

The penalty applied will be based on the level of the highest damager to the monster.

Party Meso Splitting

For mesos obtained while hunting in a party, the following split ratio will be applied.

  • Looter:
  • Leecher (non looter):

Mesos obtained increase effects will be applied based on the highest damager, applied directly into Base Mesos (intended amount dropped by the monster) before the split.

Party Size is the number of alive party members in the same map regardless of level.

  • For Reboot worlds, party members are counted into the party size regardless of status such as alive/dead, same/different map and online/offline.

Drop Rate Stacking

Drop rate boosts increases the chance which items drop. However, for some items such as Core Gemstones, Arcane Symbols, quest items and certain boss items, the drop rate increase effect will be less effective.

Certain items, such as Absolabs and Arcaneshade equipment from Hard Lotus/Damien and Hard Lucid/Will, are not affected by drop rate increasing effects.

Reboot World Passive (5x boss equipment drop chance) is also affected by restrictions above.

Cash Item Twin Coupon raises the base drop rate to 2x of the original.

The following effects are subjected to +200% maximum:

Buffs or Server Events (only 1 can be used at any time) can increase by up to 100% increase on top of the above.
