Maplestory Equipment Creation

Skill equipment creation is on a different level to that npc based equipment creation. The number of possible variations and customizations to it makes it a fair bit more complicated than its npc based counterpart. Though the name of the skill varies between geographical versions of Maplestory usually it is either called 'maker' or 'alchemy.' In GMS the equipment making skill is just called "maker" which is what it will be referred to in this article.

There are some basics to the skill to explain before getting too much into the variations. The list following further explains these basics:

1) There is a specific quest required to be done to get maker. It can be started in Magatia.

2) Each job/class can only make equipment for the general job set. A hermit can make claws and daggers, but not swords, for example.

3) There are three skill levels available. Each is available only after you pass a certain level.

4) The lowest leveled equipment that you can make is level 50 equipment.

5) Each level allows for a greater choice of equipment to be made.

6) A character can only make equipment that is at maximum five levels above the character's level.

7) Every different kind of equipment that can be made has its own set of required "primary" materials.

8) Most equipment has optional customization slots as well. This is where you can put the "secondary" materials This will be discussed further later in the article.
