1. What is Dynamic Pricing?
Real-world economic principles apply to item upgrades, with prices fluctuating based on real-time demand and updating every 60 seconds for efficient price discovery.
When many Maplers seek to upgrade a particular item, its upgrade price increases automatically. Less popular items remain more affordable.
This provides strategic gameplay as players can either pursue meta items at higher prices or find value in underutilized items.
Prices are calculated using a specific pricing formula based on demand, and all pricing changes are transparently displayed on the MapleStory N website via the Dynamic Pricing Dashboard.

※ The same dynamic pricing system applies to all worlds in MapleStory N.
