Thanks for the detailed post! I'll check into the world details a bit more when I'm not out. I'm glad the jobs are fairly balanced though--I was a bit worried that older jobs would have been completely outclassed by newer ones.

I know how you feel. When Pirates were released, Cygnus Knights, Aran, Evan, etc. (not too sure which order was which) I felt the same thing too. Newer classes overshadowing older ones due to the lack of reworks and/or changes. In today's game, changes to classes are extremely common for most of them.

For a start here is a returning player guide on Maplestory Reddit: r/MapleStory New/Returning player? Consult this Quick Start Guide!


A lot of classes are still viable due to balances over several years. Instead of choosing which is the top one based on the damage-per-second, damage-per-minute, or hits-per-second I would highly suggest to find a class that's most enjoyable to you.


Reboot world in GMS is a place that has killed off the pay-to-win structure by removing items in their Cash Shop so NX cannot be used for power. Trading is also blocked, along with equipment not being able to pass through storage, so the only way a player can upgrade is by using mesos and playing the game. That also means the economy is non-existent in this world. Scrolling is also non-existent but you can buy cubes for mesos to re-roll for potential in the Cash Shop. There's also Star Force which requires mesos too. The slight problem is that people cap out early in terms of damage due to the lack of other upgrading options being accessible. The only way to make mesos in Reboot is by farming and bossing.


In other servers, pay-to-win is still a thing and the economy has gone worse in many worlds due to inflation and mesos being more worthless than before. However, taking advantage of the market and events are the way to survive in this world. You can also sell items by doing daily/weekly bosses and extract equipment.

• Usually there is an extractor in channel 1 Ardentmill. If not you'll require a certain level of Alchemy to extract.
• Artdentmill is a town of crafting. There are 5 professions which replaced the Maker Skill.
• Ardentmill can be accessed in most towns by Quick Move (the orange button) and then clicking the orange roof portal. Press yes and you'll be warped there.

Extracting equipment gives item crystals which sell on the market. Superior Item Crystals are the ones usually in most demand due to their usage for Master Craftsman and Meister Cubes.

Another way is to sell equipment directly. Some items such as Condensed Power Crystal, Aquatic Letter Eye Accessory, Silver Blossom Ring, Royal Black Metal Shoulder, Crystal Ventus Badge, and Pink Holy Cup may come from lower level bosses but they do sell for a chunk of mesos in the market. Use Auction House and not the Free Market if you don't have a Permit/Hired Merchant.

• The Auction House can be accessed in-town through Quick Move or somewhere on one of the menu lists.
• You can list an item for 24 hours. Listing requires a certain amount of mesos.
• If the item gets sold you can retrieve your mesos in transactions page of the Auction House.
• If the item listing expires you can retrieve the item in transactions page of the Auction House.
• If you buy an item in Auction House you can retrieve the item in transactions page of the Auction House.

A lot of people would recommend you to do Gollux for many reasons. You should look it up.

I will say one thing. Reboot or Non-Reboot, they both have pros and cons so choose wisely. I'd also like to say you can play in Non-Reboot worlds without spending a penny or dime and still get off with a good funded character.

I have my eyes on the new skill "Blades of Destiny" and the new character stat system Legion. I'll probably need to farm more nodestones and level up my characters to benefit from this...

Drop rate isn't going to help out. That'll be a nightmare to deal with.

the nodestone drop rate was increased for other servers at least for kms server not sure about SEA

The problem isn't that.

The problem is with the calculations after the nodestone boost. Those who have drop gears would suffer heavily. I'm not sure what familiars or inner abilities are considered as but the overall result found: It was a BIG NERF.

Source: r/MapleStory - Nexon Korea's Response to Drop Rate Changes in KMS v 1.2.275

What that means is that it will be more harder to farm overall. With the amount of hacking that's going on it'll make it a lot more profitable and we'll be seeing an ever bigger botting scale after this patch hits. The main idea now is basically farm now for better rates or suffer after the patch hits.

The only player(s) who would benefit from such a change:

• Hackers
• Players with 0% drop rate boost

You can, however, use the Boss Queue and you'll be teleported to the map directly before the boss, the idea being to encourage random partying as opposed to soloing (although this hasn't worked as well as it could).

It works, but the system currently set-up doesn't help randoms as much as it should.

There are several complaints and suggestions (quite a few on the forums, but the search bar is just too limited) in both these forums and reddit:

• Boss Queueing Hijack
• r/MapleStory : Boss Party System?
• Boss Matching UI - This is how hard KMS Community tries to improve their own game !

I just double checked my tablet again, and I found that I could SCROLL DOWN!
Sorry for the misreporting!!

It happens. Everyone makes mistakes at some point, so I don't blame you. At least you figured out where to move forward.
