Maplestory Equipment and Upgrades

Equipment in the MMORPG, Maplestory, is fairly simple. There are not a lot of potential modifiers for equipment, there aren't too many "unique" or "rare" equipment that are hard to find and there also aren't any sets that give bonuses for having a complete set.

The bonuses for most equipment are fairly simple. There are the basics, defense and magic defense, weapon attack, magic attack, speed and jump. Then there are bonuses to the 6 basic stats, strength, intelligence, dexterity, luck, hp (hit points) and mp (mana points). There are also bonuses to the related secondary stats, hands, avoid and accuracy. On top of the attacks or defenses, most equipments have no more than 3 bonuses under normal circumstances. With 2 exceptions for sets of equipment, no equipment comes with any skill bonuses.

The possible kinds of equipment are pretty basic. There are weapons, hats/helmets, shoes/boots, shields, tops, bottoms/pants, overalls (cannot be equipped at the same time as tops/pants), gloves, rings, and other accessories. The number of each kind of equipment that can be equipped is limited to one at a time, except for rings. You can equip up to 4 rings.
