Components of MSU Marketplace
MSU Marketplace is composed of the following sections:
Main Screen: Overview of in-game item listings and the trading status of the MSU Marketplace.
Tabs for Purchases: Use the “NFT Items”, “Characters”, and “FT Items” tabs to browse available items.
Bid: Submit a price proposal if your desired item is unavailable or listed at an undesired price.
Search Bar: Quick search for specific items by keyword.
Inventory: View and manage your in-game items, including those you own, have listed, bookmarked, or made/received offers on. You can also view your trading history here.
On the Main Screen, you can check the overall activity status of the MSU Marketplace through the following data:
Total Listings: Cumulative number of in-game items listed
Total Active Wallets: Cumulative number of wallets that have accessed services in the MapleStory Universe
Total Sales: Total number of transactions made
Total Trading Volume: Cumulative transaction volume in NESO
Scroll down to see highlighted rankings:
Record-breaking Sales: Top 3 in-game items sold for the highest prices.
Recent Sales: The 20 most recently listed NFT items
Recent Listings: The 20 most recently added items
Top Traders: Maplers ranked by trading volume
In the “NFT Items,” “Characters”, and “FT Items” tabs, you can buy and sell NFT items, characters, and FT items respectively.
In the “Bid” section, you can propose your desired price and quantity for specific NFT items. If a seller accepts, the transaction is made. This reverses the usual listing format; you propose the deal, and a seller may choose to accept it.
※ Only in-game NFT items are supported in the “Bid” section.
Use the search bar at the top of the page to quickly search items.
In “Inventory”, you can manage items held in your Wallet Inventory. It includes:
Owned: Items you currently hold.
On Sale: Items you have listed for sale
Bookmark: Items you’ve bookmarked
Activity: Your transaction history
To bring in-game items or characters obtained in-game into the MSU Marketplace, follow the steps below:
Minting
Mint the item obtained in-game.
Moving to Wallet Inventory
Drag or double-click the minted item to transfer it from your character inventory to your Wallet Inventory.
Checking in Inventory
Visit the MSU Marketplace and find the item listed in your “Inventory” tab.
※ Only items marked with “m” in the bottom right corner are mintable. Items marked with an “L” cannot be minted.
Characters can only be listed if they are unlinked from MapleStory N.
If the character you want to sell is linked, unlink it first via the character selection screen.
Then, go to the “Owned” tab in your Inventory to confirm it is ready for sale.
To buy NFT items, characters, or FT items:
Use the search bar or browse through the “NFT Items”, “Characters”, or “FT Items” pages.
※ You cannot make a purchase if your NESO balance is insufficient or if the item price is below the minimum trade amount (0.000001 NESO).
※ Listing items is free, but transaction fees are automatically deducted from the sale amount upon purchase or offer acceptance.
You can check the transaction fee during the listing or offer process.
On the “NFT Items” page, you can use filters to narrow down your search:
Price range: Set minimum and maximum price.
Unique Number: The sequential number assigned upon minting, indicating the order in which the item was minted in MapleStory Universe.
Item Type: Filter by All, Weapon, Armor, Decoration, Utility, or Set-up.
If you select “All”, “Weapon” or “Armor”, additional filters are available:
Class: Warrior, Magician, Bowman, Thief, Pirate
Potential / Bonus Potential Rank: The ranking of potential and bonus potential for the item, ranging from No Potential to Legendary
Level Range: The range of levels at which the item can be equipped
Star Force: The Star Force level of the item
For Weapon and Armor, you can apply Advanced Search:
History: Enter a character name to view item achievement history that is associated with that character
Advanced Search: Filter by up to 5 potential stats, bonus potential stats, and basic stats to refine your search
After setting the filters, use the “Save Filter” button under the “Search” button to save your settings for future use.
You can easily reapply saved filters whenever you want to search with the same criteria.

Available Listings: Current ask prices
Trade History: Past transaction records
Price History: Daily highest, lowest, and average prices
My Listings: FT items you have listed for sale. Use the dropdown at the top-right of the “My Listings” section to view bid listings for selected or all items.
※ Only sellers can propose prices. Buyers input a quantity, and the system auto-matches it to the lowest price available and compete the purchase.
From “Activity History”, you can select either a 7-day or 30-day period to view the average daily activity price.
Hover over the price graph to see the highest, lowest, average prices, along with the trading volumes for that day.
Important Information on FT Items' Price & Purchase Quantity
When purchasing FT items, the system automatically buys from the lowest-priced listings in order, including gas fees.
The estimated price updates every 5 seconds, so the lowest price may change after each update.
A single purchase can involve up to 5 sellers only.
Example: If 10 sellers each list 1 Power Elixir, and you input a quantity of 10, the system will automatically adjust your purchase to a maximum of 5, drawing from 5 sellers only. To purchase more, you will need to place a new order.
Some items cannot be traded on the MSU Marketplace:
Items marked with "L" displayed on the bottom right cannot be minted or moved to Wallet Inventory
Items labeled "Currently in Use" are in use in MapleStory N and cannot be traded or offered
Items labeled "Discarded" are discarded in-game items and cannot be traded
Items labeled “Burned” are burned on-chain and cannot be traded.be traded
If the wallet holding an item is not linked to MapleStory Universe, the item will display a wallet address instead of a username
Items marked with an “S” icon are Soulbound Tokens(SBTs) and cannot be traded
You can use “Offer” to negotiate the purchase price for NFT items.
Hover over an item and click the “Offer” button or go to the item detail page and click “Offers.”
Enter your desired price in the popup window and click “Make an Offer”.
To view your offer activity:
Go to “Inventory” > “Offers” > “Offers Sent” to see the items or characters you have made offers on.
Go to “Inventory” > “Offers” > “Offers Received” to see offers made on your listed items or characters.
Only the top 5 highest offers are visible to the seller. If multiple offers are made at the same price, the one submitted earlier will be shown first.
When an offer from the top 5 expires, is accepted, or is canceled, the next highest offer will appear.
If your offer is not visible, it is either not in the top 5 or was submitted later at the same price.
To change an offer already made on an item, cancel the previous one and submit a new offer.
If there is an item you really want to purchase, check the “Offers” list on the item detail page and make a competitive offer.
If your NESO balance drops below your offer amount, your offer will be automatically canceled.
If you have made an offer on an item you wish to purchase, be sure to manage your NESO balance accordingly.
Notifications will be sent when your offer is accepted or canceled.
You will also receive a notification if your listed item receives the top offer.
Unlike the “NFT Items”, “Characters”, and “FT Items” tabs, the “Bid” section allows Maplers to propose their desired price and quantity for an item, regardless of its stats. Sellers may then choose to fulfill the bid.
※ Only price and quantity can be selected when using the Bid system. If you want to purchase an item with specific stats, use the “NFT Items” tab instead.
In the “Bid” tab, buyers can register the items they wish to purchase, and sellers can search for items they wish to sell using the search bar.

Refresh the page to check the latest bid matches and order status.
If you want to sell an item, follow these steps:
Input the price you wish to sell at from the bid list and click “Sell”.
Select the item you want to sell from the list.
Once selected, proceed with the sale.
※ Once a sale is initiated, it cannot be retracted. If you have multiple identical items, make sure to double-check the item’s status before selling.
Would you like to save items for later?
Click the “💚” button at the top of the item card in the left-hand item list to bookmark them. You can manage bookmarked items in a dedicated tab.
If NESO is used for other purchases outside the “Bid” tab, (e.g., to purchase items) and your NESO balance falls short of your active bid, any bid that exceeds the balance will be automatically canceled.
In this case, the entire bid is canceled, not just the portion that exceeds the balance.
If there are multiple bids at the same price, the most recently submitted bid is canceled first.
In the “Owned” tab, you can view the list of items you currently hold in your Wallet Inventory.
Items must be transferred from your character inventory to Wallet Inventory to appear here.
Items purchased on the MSU Marketplace are also stored in the Wallet Inventory. If you wish to equip them, move them to your character inventory.
