hi, i just got back into maplestory after 10 years and was quite astonished how much this game has grown. From lvl 1-100 i understood enhancing your equipment with the new scroll system and using star traces to upgrade it further. However, after receiving my level 130 gear I wasn't able to transfer enhancements of some of the items to new equipment. Also the needed amount of star traces grew to 200 leaving me without any after 3 upgrades. Lastly after upgrading my level 130 sword to max, it came out to being weaker than my previous weapon making newer equipment worthless than my previous gear. Is there a solution to this? thanks.

    multiple factors could be for why you get less stat boost, one of which is you may be wearing an equipment set that is giving you set bonuses which your weapon may be a part of. there could also be potential on the weapon that is giving you stat boosts.

    I would say, for the most part, not to worry about equipment until you get penslair/utgard (lvl 140 gear)
