Everything You Should Do Leveling to 260 in MapleStory

[@BManip]

Your guides are incredibly straightforward and have been a tremendous help to the community. Thank you so much, Duky!

[@Duky]

Thanks !! i'll keep trying my best

[@benjamingoh4626]

i love that, you touch on the basics a little for each videos so at least, if im unclear, i know what to google for ...

[@abelnunez5531]

Man, calling 0-260 early game, or "beginning of the game," is so demoralizing considering is my highest milestone in maplestory to this date 😭😭😭

[@xForbin99]

I just made a lvl 200 bishop in like an hour. It took me years to get my first character to 200

[@hardslaps]

​@xForbin99 same here I was mindblown

[@jbh269]

i only got to 250 for the first time 2 weeks ago lol

[@abelnunez5531]

@jbh269 Congratz brother. Don't let these end game nerds discourage you. We noobs must stick together. Noobs rise!

[@AlexRiversMusic]

260 is not early game its literally late game. Those ppl need to touch grass.

[@jetmask24]

Duky coming in clutch with these guides. A lot of new/old comers this time around, we appreciate you!!

[@Duky]

[@Serenity4Starlightz]

I started playing maplestory last month again after previously not playing since around when resistance class came out, and was so overwhelmed with all the changes. Since then I’ve been looking at guides and I just wanna say yours are so straightforward and helpful I’ve kept coming back to these the most so thank you for the work you put into these guides it’s definitely appreciated!

[@SophisticatedGengar]

I'll be referencing this video a lot along my journey, I can tell. Thank you so much for the help, big ups from the new player crowd.

[@DylanGabrielMedinaZegarra]

wow man, these guides are definitely so good. ofc maplestory at some point can be a really stressful, and repetitive game but if you progress without rushing, you good enjoying your time without hesitate.

[@owvon222]

Duky back at it again with the white vans

[@kawaiiry-g6w]

you're him thank u for delivering ~ excited to see the 260+ video

[@TankedPk]

Video is facts, legion + links + AF, all mesos i spent on was starforcing equips to 10, getting 1 line m.atk on secondary/weapon. oneshot in Labyrinth lvl 251 and working on mesos/drop

[@chahan2495]

0-100 event leaves you at 101 btw also zeros at level 140 unlock a single quest to do the arkarium fight directly which unlocks the boss for all characters without needing to do the silent crusade storyline

[@Oblivionth3dead]

Ayo that's stupid useful to know. Been playing for like 13 years but I never took a zero past chapter 2. Imma be making one of those asap now lol, thanks mate!

[@CesPlayin]

DUKYGOAT Ty for adding threads of fate/WAP in this guide just what I was asking for

I am currently doing as many prequests daily i can stomach alongside the fun bossing dailies. And i actuallyy enjoy the arcane river mob killing dailies as they are quick.

[@saerek6461]

Yooooo sick video!! Fr You’re the TOAT (Thuggiest of all time)

[@CosmosFan1]

Curious if there's an update to this very helpful video? It seems like there isn't a 0-200 or "burn" as of today...

[@christopherpaan]

those events/opportunities come around fairly regularly and there are even two available right now if you didn't know! no need to worry mate :) FWIW, there's also a new video out explaining the main questline update and how it'll get non-burning chars. to lvl 200 for very new accounts ✨

[@Loveablex3ify]

thankyou for the guide !! can you do a what to do past 275 ? thank you !!

[@Robert-f1v2q]

Im new and learned alot from this video. Thank you 🙂

[@Maple-g5v]

the thread of fate quest should be do on main char only or just get any from mule?

[@Duky]

main prob

[@christopherpaan]

you can now hold all 5 professions at once (2 gathering, 3 crafting) on one character so probably best on your main to focus time/resources 😁

[@bigdna5561]

i will be following these steps 🔥🔥

[@Doyouloveapples]

I just started playing maple again after 10+ years and I made a bishop on Bera. I’m at 206 but I have no idea what’s going on because it’s so overwhelming compared to the old school maple. This was helpful! I still need to absorb more content on all these link skills and hyper skills, I have no money and just 💀 lol xD Coming into a hyper burning event was friggin sweet considering the highest level I ever got to was like 160 lol

[@kirinashia567]

Do you recommend just beelining to 260 with meso and drop gear? I feel like I've invested (and intend to invest, with the coming star force sunday) a lot more into damage than you seem to be suggesting, because I want to do Luwill and Slime ASAP to start on my Arcanes and the ring. I still intend to go for drop/meso gear during the DMT later, though.

[@Anonatsuu]

Depends on your goals. If you wap a lot then I would invest in item/meso gear. You could also SF just enough to be able to green dot in parties if your goal is arcanes

[@64Runal]

Your content is literally night and day difference for my new account. Are non potential stats on the gear something to worry about (flames?). Like should I wait to raise the potential on an item until I get one with better non potential stats. Or should I worry about that later with flame modifier items when the time comes?

[@Duky]

wait till best in slot gear to worry about flames

[@christopherpaan]

I would say (as a casual player) that you don't need to worry about flames on gear unless you're getting a lot of copies of them easily (e.g. pensalirs, boss accessories, CRA?), then you can wait for an item with slightly favorable flames. Otherwise just pick one and start scrolling/potting/SFing them, and if you get free flames, then roll your WSE > CRA > lowest flame score items for now. Perfecting flames defs is end game stuff like for Arcanes/Eternals

[@stitchthepanda1042]

another banger info vid thanks!

[@maxk5075]

Love the videos!

[@xkasuragtm7514]

Yo question that 1-100 event. You said it’s 7 times. Is that for the whole event or per week? Cause my account is 3 weeks old. I spent some time building the account and it’s already almost 2k legion. This 1-100 event could help a lot more

[@kirinashia567]

Should just be for the whole event as far as I'm aware

[@churoshyo]

for sec or emblem do i try to tier it up now? (if yes which cube would be advisable?) or i could just wait for dmt? also i feel tiering in reboot is slightly higher than like kms or msea from my own exp, is that true or just my sense going south? lol

[@Duky]

bright cubes, can do it asap

[@antrinh9088]

Can you help me with hyper stats for Aran? Thank you.

[@Duky]

best to look at Aran discord for the optimized ones

[@mill1048]

So it's probably more worth to use the bunny on legion than on training your main faster to 260 if your legion isn't high enough?

[@TheHYDROrooster]

If burning your main to 260 is what it's gonna take you to get it to 260 then it's worth bc getting 260 is the most important thing

[@bryantandres7505]

I think if you want to use the food storage (aka bunny) to get level 3 link skills, there is a lot more value in it than trying to use it for your hyper burn. Once you hit 230, the exp feels really bad compared to the lower levels; my AB that is 215 gets like maybe 1.5 levels after killing the 1k mobs. But if you have no interest in making more bossing mules or need level 3 links, use it on your hyper burning character. Once you hit 260, use your remaining runs on lower characters.

[@doomblitz1993]

Nah burn your main falling behind on sol fragments is worse

[@Duky]

id say to get to lv 200 on legion is most effective

[@JoeyCarmichael_]

So is 260-300 basically the new 0-200?

[@Duky]

no not even close

[@zedres2860]

Wait you get an arcane weapon at 260 hyper burn now?

[@Duky]

yea

[@azzukargrobanni3187]

So link skills dont work on the burn server but i should level some guys up for when i swap?

[@evilscheme3597]

[@shr779]

Amazing! Thanks! Would love to see the post-260 video too!

[@Duky]

this week!

[@Sebasuraa]

Thanks for the info. I already knew a lot of this but my biggest issue is WHEN to do these things. For example now I'm in a fresh acc, my HB main is 236@80%, I can't two shot mobs in my level range, so I don't know if it's a good time to focus more on legion and just do dailies, or keep grinding on my main. Or maybe focus on the prequests. Right know I'm trying to get to 260 asap to be able to use all the symbol selectors on sacred symbols, so I think I'll use all my bonks and 4k exp coupons on AB to get 7k exp coupons, but after that I don't think I can level fast enough to use all my symbol selectors on sacred. Kinda confusing on what to use my time at each moment.

[@Duky]

do your legion when you can't one shot imo.

[@ClubPenguinDead]

What’s the time line to get from lvl200 to lvl260 for the average player?

[@zealous404]

As a reboot beginner I need to know where them potential scrolls are 😭

[@Duky]

gotta go hit the monsters and kill da bosses

[@zealous404]

@Duky will do 👨‍🌾

[@mre3xaz]

one thing you didn't mention is when people get their arcane weapon from 260, they should use karma flames from event to get a massive damage bonus aswell as applying boss soul shards as these are the only modifications you can use on a special weapon from hyper

[@kirinashia567]

Is there a reason to be using flames and boss souls to get a boost immediately rather than trying to get a real arcane and upgrading that? If it was the same as fakesolab and was permanent I'd agree, but the 260 arcane expires.

[@ianh1504]

One thing about threads of fate that confused and frustrated me was only the first ask is random, the next ones are saved from yesterday. And it might take a looong time to get the herb pouch asks

I keep running into the issue on my non-hyperburns of getting stuck at pre-CRA. With CRA being the next upgrade but having no where near enough damage.

[@kennysmith8492]

Gotta find a guild and get carries or trade for carries if your main can clear

[@christopherpaan]

if on Heroic servers, I remember a long time ago it was viable that you could use a full Empress set of armour/weapon (from Cygnus boss emblems that you convert to equips) that's SF to 17* or something, with E/U potential lines (maybe not even this high) and start clearing CRA bosses.

[@ikumichael]

Is that 3 times a week per character? Or 3 times a week per world?

[@Sn3rby]

3 times a week per world.

[@baycitybeat5593]

Is there still the option to buy in game currency like a nexon gift card, and spend the real-cost currency in SHOP where you can buy from other players??? I used to get really rare items doing this. Idk if it still works. I don't see the option on mobile that I used to use but I will have to check out PC version. If anyone can answer it will be a great help!

[@Cwooodsy]

You can buy them for mesos in the auction house. You can also sell some nx stuff in there for cash if you are keen on that

Could you do one for just hitting 260?

Didn't maplestory remove the prequest requirements for some of the bosses, and all you need now is to be at a certain level to fight them? I believe akechi is one of them.

Some are either reduced in what you have to do like Pno is a short pre quest, CRA is just 5days of normal boss kills and dameon and lotus don't have theirs anymore.

Another Tip! For everyone hyper burning a 260, (for those who know what the 6th job advancement is) SAVE EVERY VIP BOOSTER YOU CAN FIND! Cuz that Drop rate is so bad! they are transferable. if you can save about 9 VIP boosters. With all EXP buffs you can find. (Prefer with 3x and rune) 1 VIP booster can get up to 70 - 80% of each stone for the advancement. Youre welcome.

[@lordvasileLive]

Honestly he's neglecting one thing he hasn't told you all yet. Until you spend real money on cubing your gear it's highly unlikely you will have over 5mill damage. only the dam whales have classes lv 230 with 100mill damage & they say "oh just a mule right now".

[@lordvasileLive]

My rework AB is lv251 Arcane Force over 960- (1049) or such with 1.9 mill damage with cubing all of my gear to unique or legendary. 2 pieces stuck at epic sadly, Star Force 140 and yet i can't out damage Gloom in story Moon Bridge questline(Guide). Can't beat any hard bosses or even attempt Chaos bosses. The worst part of this all the stuff was FREE to get to lv251. Legion over 5000 and yet I'm a casual player no whale & yet no dent in any hard/chaos bosses.

[@gwTheo]

I don't get why every content creator says go slow and don't get burnt out. Well, nearly everyone of them, y'all were WRONG. there is so much stuff in this game that literally requires dailies/weeklies to even progress gear wise. And if you don't no a thing about maplestory, taking your time and going slow learning things at your own pace, poof, a week plus has past and you just discover what root abyss gear is. instead, I would say Maplestory is a short marathon that the community leads astray and turns it into a long marathon. Why? Simply put, the act of just completing the 5 root abyss dailies is literally 5 days of unlocking/learning other portions of the game. instead of doing that, feel confident, just to realize you now can't really do anything for 5 days straight. and then...... you're burnt out.
