MapleStory M Equipment Level Up Guide

Key takeaway

Official equipment-leveling instructions explaining Forge access, material EXP, Meso costs, rank-dependent maximum levels, Exalt expansion, and the progression paths unlocked at maximum level.

Detailed content

What equipment leveling changes

  • Weapon levels increase attack and secondary options, while armor levels increase defense and secondary options.
  • Equipment of Legendary rank or lower can unlock Rank Up or Fuse after reaching maximum level.
  • Mythic or higher equipment can unlock Mastercraft after reaching maximum level.

Access and material rules

  • Open Level Up from Bag > Equipment > Forge or Main Menu > Forge > Level Up.
  • Weapons and armor can use matching equipment, Whetstones, or Refining Powders as material.
  • Higher-rank material contributes more equipment EXP, and the process consumes Mesos.

Maximum-level structure

  • Base maximum level rises by rank from Normal through Chaos equipment.
  • Mythic and higher equipment can expand its maximum level through Exalt.
  • The official table lists Chaos equipment at level 40 by default and up to level 60 or 70 with Exalt, depending on equipment.

Level-up process and safeguards

  • Register the weapon or armor that will receive EXP, then register material items.
  • Equipped or locked equipment can be a base item but cannot be consumed as material.
  • Unlock a locked item only when it is intentionally being used as material.

Prerequisites

  • A weapon or armor item
  • Compatible equipment, Whetstones, or Refining Powders
  • Sufficient Mesos

Practical steps

  • Open Forge and select Level Up.
  • Register the base weapon or armor.
  • Register compatible material items or Refining Powders.
  • Review the resulting EXP and Meso cost.
  • Confirm the level-up operation and repeat until the intended level.
