Make no mistake, MMORPGs like Maplestory are grind heavy, by design. It’s why at BoostingBros, we are proud to call many of the top players in the game our loyal customers, who work closely with their Bros to hit the major milestone. That said, not everyone has the time, energy, or money to min-max everything and stay on the frontier of the everchanging endgame.

That’s why our Bro Tamago is here to shed light on a different playstyle. One for more laid back, casual players, while making meaningful progress to keep the game enjoyable. A playstyle Maplers coin “Dailystory”.

First off choose a character that you would enjoy playing, don’t chase metamancing classes if the only reason is because people say you will have an easier time. Playing a class that you personally enjoy will likely cause you to continue to want to play for most people. Watch videos on classes and don’t let people tell you don’t pick that class because it’s weak. If you have fun with it just pick it.

Obtainment Time: 2-3 Months depending if you get carried or not can be much shorter if you get Hellux and Hard Lotus/Damien carries like I did, and if you get lucky with Superior Belt/Earrings drops.

Item Potential Goal: At least 2L unique stat on all your equips.

Next Steps

1. Twilight Mark - Lucid (Normal/Hard)

2. Fairy Heart - Event

3. Android - Event

Stars:

• 17 Twilight Mark

• 21 CRA

• 20 Belt/Earrings (Should tap during a SF event 30% or 5/10/15 works if you have a lot of spares and don’t need to safeguard). At this point if you are doing Hellux everyday and Pink Bean weekly you should have a lot of clover belts and reinforced earrings/belts. You will tap these to 21 before transferring over to Superior Belt/Earrings.

Cost: 15b-20b

To get more data around Starforcing, check out our Starforce Calculator! 

Obtainment Time: 1-2 months mainly because of saving meso as well as getting spares to tap and waiting for an event to happen.

Potential Goal: At least 2L unique stat on all your equips, and try to get legendary. 1L Crit damage on glove and 1L Stat

Flames: 4-5% all stat and main stat

Mid-Game

1. Oz Ring

   • Ring Boxes that drop from Akechi+

Cost: 5-10b

Obtainment Time: Can take 3-4 months and longer or even as short as 1-2 months depending on your luck and if you are getting carried or not.

Potential Goal: At least 2L unique stat on all your equips, and try to get legendary. 1L Crit damage on glove and 1L Stat

Flames: 4-5% all stat and main stat

Early-Late-Game

At this point of the game you should be able to join Hluwill parties and Ctene parties comfortably.

1. Dawn Guardian Angel Ring

   • Guardian Angel Slime (Normal (insanely low drop rate)/Chaos)

2. Daybreak Pendant

   • Vhilla (Normal/Hard)

   • Seren (Normal/Hard)

This is the part of the game where it can feel extremely frustrating and arguably the longest part of the game if you are unlucky. This is where you start getting 22s. You can do what I did and only focus on 2-3 items each sf event instead of expecting to hit for all because realistically speaking as a dailystory player you won’t be getting enough mesos to tap many items every single sf event.

This is when you can also start liberating. I was able to liberate with most gear still at 22 or even 2-3 pieces at 17. My arcanes were 17 when I libbed. It is definitely doable.

Stars: 22 CRA 20 Black Bean Mark 22 Superior Belt, Earrings, Ring, Pendant 22 Daybreak 22 Slime Ring, 22 KT

Cost: Only tap during the event and do not tap off the event. 90-100b during the event. You can be lucky and hit earlier on but you can also split it. What I did was get CRA 22 first as you have infinite spares. Next, I would tap my belt and earrings as I had tons of reinforced belts/earrings as well as clover belts to transfer over. Then I tapped my Kanna’s Treasure, Slime ring, and Sup ring another time. It is up to you but the main thing to remember is. After that Pendant because the only spares you can transfer over are Dominator Pendants and those are not easy to come by. Always tap what you have the most spares of. Do not tap arcanes first thinking it will give you a big gain if you only have a single spare. You will most likely end up wasting a lot of money and you will gain nothing. CRA > Belt, Earrings > Ring > Pendant.

Obtainment Time: (This can be the most brutal time of playing and I have been demotivated many times by booming my items and using all my mesos just to not hit anything.) 5-6 Months. Could be even longer.

Potential Goal: At least 2L legendary stat on all your equips, 2L attack on emblem and secondary. 1L Crit damage on glove and 1L Stat.

Flames: 4-5% all stat and main stat. 90-100 Flame score on CRA 140-150 on Arcane everything else just around 100 is perfectly fine.

Drop Gear

Realistically speaking you will only need item drop rate. For the 4 rings you can just use event rings or Kanna’s Treasures. I personally just used event rings and got 1 line of drop and called it a day.

Thanks for reading! As a reminder this is just how I as a dailystory player personally progressed through the game. It might take a while but you can be strong just by playing the game without farming 4-6 hours a day.

If this all sounds like a nightmare rather than a dream, and you’d rather be doing anything else instead of doing the Afterlands questline or grinding for sol fragments/familiars/mesos, check us out at BoostingBros!

Unlike paying a monthly subscription to use bots that get your account banned 6 months later, we know your account is as precious as your time. That’s why we only use humans and are entrusted by many of the top guilds in Maplestory with their endgame accounts. Now you can boom your items without booming your life too!
