## **1. What Are Presets?**

* Presets are a convenience feature that allows you instantly swap between customized loadouts of equipment, skills, and stats.
* This allows you to optimize your character for any situation. For example, you can use Preset 1 for grinding mobs and instantly switch to Preset 2 when you're heading into a boss battle.

## **2. Preset Types**

* Presets are organized under one main Character Preset, which controls several individual sub-presets: Equipment, Hyper Stat, Ability, Maple Legion, Link Skill, and Key Bindings.
* The Character Preset acts as a master control, letting you change all your settings at once. However, each sub-preset can also be managed independently.

* B. Click the arrow button next to any preset to jump directly to its menu.
* C. When you're done, hit the "Save" button to save the configuration to your selected Character Preset slot.
* D. To activate a different loadout, just select another Character Preset from the top and click "Apply." The change is immediate.

* To switch presets on the fly, assign 'Change Preset' to a hotkey in your Key Bindings. Pressing this hotkey will display your presets on-screen; simply press the corresponding number to activate it instantly.

* Equipment Presets let you save different sets of gear for any occasion. Just select the preset number and click "Apply" to get suited up.
* Items equipped in Preset 1 act as your base gear and are automatically shared across all other presets. An item slot in another preset will only change if you manually equip a different piece of gear there.
* Set effects are only active for the gear in your currently selected preset. Items in inactive presets will not contribute to the set bonus.
* Your Character Info window always displays the stats, equipment, and active skills based on your currently active preset.
