1. Discouraged Gameplay

2. Monitoring Criteria and Methods

3. Verification Request for Game Restrictions

MapleStory N monitors abnormal gameplay behavior in accordance with its operation policies. Beyond the use of explicit hacks or macros, certain behaviors are strongly discouraged.

Below is a detailed guide on what constitutes discouraged gameplay and how such behavior is monitored.

MapleStory N is intended to be played as a standalone client. Running abnormal programs alongside MapleStory N or tampering with PC or network data may prevent proper gameplay logging and is treated as an attempt to bypass detection.

If you engage in the following behaviors, it may be considered use of unauthorized programs, so we strongly advise against them:

1. Playing on a wallet account that belongs to someone else

2. Accessing or playing via remote control programs

3. Running multiple clients simultaneously (including those launched via OS-level features)

• Accounts using system information flagged for abnormal activity may be treated as belonging to the same user

1. Any other repetitive gameplay pattern that significantly deviates from normal play behavior

※ Running non-game related apps (e.g., music/video players) will not be flagged as abnormal programs.

※ Any software used to open or modify the MapleStory N client or resources is subject to restriction regardless of actual usage.

※ If new forms of unsupported behavior are identified, this document will be updated continuously.

If unauthorized programs or abnormal patterns are detected, game restrictions may be applied based on the following criteria:

• Repeated use of unsupported gameplay practices

• Activity patterns that significantly deviate from those of most Maplers

※ Monitoring includes not only recent activity but also up to 90 days of past gameplay records. Thus, the date of restriction may not align with the date of violation.

※ If multiple policy violations are detected, the most severe violation will determine the penalty.

If your account is restricted, you may request for verification to clarify or re-investigate by contacting our within 90 days from the start of the restriction.

To help us verify your case more quickly and accurately, please include the following information:

1. If you used an unsupported gameplay, describe in detail:

• What program was used

• When it was used

• Any unusual circumstances during gameplay

1. Even if your actions do not exactly match the listed violations,

• Please list any program run alongside MapleStory N or special gameplay conditions.

1. If you played for an extended period while repeating the same input,

• Please describe your skill rotation and repetitive key inputs during gameplay.

• Clearing a weekly boss locks all equipment used in the battle until the weekly raffle concludes. The lock duration of these items may be extended to align with the raffle schedule. The weekly raffle takes place every Thursday at 00:00 UTC+0.

  • If an item’s existing lock is set to expire before the raffle on Thursday, its lock will be extended until the raffle is over.

3. How to Use Presets

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.

• 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.

• A. In the Character Preset window, you can assign a slot from each sub-preset (Equipment, Hyper Stat, etc.) to create a complete loadout.

• 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.

• 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.

1. What is a Nickname NFT?

2. Changing Your Nickname and Minting an NFT

3. Trading Nicknames on the Marketplace

1. What is a Nickname NFT?

Nickname NFTs transform your character's name into a unique, tradable digital asset.

Unlike traditional nicknames that are bound to a single character, a Nickname NFT is an independent asset you truly own. This means you can hold onto it, swap it between characters, or trade it freely with other Maplers on the Marketplace. Now's your chance to own that cool, rare nickname you've always wanted!

• Off-chain Nickname: This is the standard nickname your character uses in-game. It is not an NFT and cannot be traded. Rest assured, no one else can create or mint a nickname identical to your off-chain nickname.

• On-chain Nickname: This is a nickname that has been converted into an NFT through a process called "minting." It's registered as a digital asset on the blockchain, stored safely in your Nickname Inventory, and can be traded on the Marketplace.

When you change your character's name, you have the option to convert your old nickname into a tradable NFT. Here’s how it works:

1. To begin, head to the character selection screen.

2. Select the minted character whose nickname you wish to change.

3. In the character information window on the right, click the Change Name button.

Next, you'll decide on your character's new name. You have two options: Create New Name or Use Existing Name.

• Create New Name : Enter a new name to create a standard, off-chain nickname.

• Use Existing Name : Select a Nickname NFT you already own, either from a previous mint or a Marketplace purchase.

This is the most important step: deciding the fate of your current nickname.

This option only appears if your current nickname is an off-chain (non-tradable) name.

• Mint then Replace : This option converts your current nickname into a valuable NFT by paying a minting fee. The newly minted NFT will be sent to your Nickname Inventory, ready to be used again later or sold on the Marketplace.

• Delete then Replace : This option will permanently delete your current nickname. It will not be converted into an NFT. Choose carefully, especially if your nickname is rare or special, as this action is irreversible.

If you chose to mint your nickname, a final confirmation window will appear showing a breakdown of the fees. Review the details carefully, then press [Confirm] to proceed.

You can track the minting process in real-time via the on-chain notifier at the bottom-left corner of your screen.

※ Important Notes

• You cannot mint a character's nickname within the first 24 hours after the character itself has been minted.

• Once you change a character's nickname, you must wait 30 days before changing it again.

• Your first nickname change fee is waived if you perform it within 7 days of minting a new character.

Nicknames that have been minted into NFTs can be bought and sold freely on the Marketplace.

1. What is Star Force Enhancement?

2. Equipment Enhancement: Star Force Enhancement

3. Performing Star Force Enhancement

4. Star Force Enhancement Cost

Star Force is a system that allows you to further enhance your minted equipment items and upgrading their stats.

Each item can be enhanced up to the number of empty stars (☆) shown at the top of the item tooltip. When an enhancement succeeds, a star is filled in as a ★, and the Star Force level of the item increases by +1, boosting its stats.

If enhancement fails, the Star Force level may either stay the same or decrease by -1. When the level decreases, the item stats will decrease accordingly.

You can access Enhancement UI by clicking [Equipment Enhancement] in the [NFT ASSETS] at the bottom of the game screen, or by clicking the “ENHANCE” button in your Character Inventory.

At the Enhancement UI, drag-and-drop or right-click the item you want to enhance and register it.

※ Only minted items can be enhanced. For more information on item minting, please refer to the .

You can perform Star Force Enhancement, Potential Enhancement, and Bonus Stats Enhancement at the Enhancement UI.

Within the Star Force Enhancement UI, you can check the following information:

1. Type of enhancement you selected

2. Item you selected for enhancement — be sure to double-check that the correct item is selected before proceeding.

3. Current Star Force level of the selected item

When you start Enhancement, you can choose the desired enhancement type, and select the item you would like to enhance.

Star Force Enhancement consumes Power Crystals, and the number of crystals required varies depending on the current Star Force level of the equipment item. Additionally, the cost for each stage is updated every minute based on enhancement demand.

Before enhancing, make sure to check both the Power Crystals you own and required for the enhancement displayed at the bottom of the UI.

If you do not have enough Power Crystals, click the “Exchange” button next to Owned Power Crystals to convert your NESO into Power Crystals at a 1:1 ratio.

※ NESOLET cannot exchanged into Power Crystals. You must first mint your NESOLET into NESO to exchange for Power Crystals.

※ For instructions on how to mint NESO, please refer to the [].

Once everything is ready, click the “Enhance” button to begin the enhancement.

When the enhancement starts, Star Catch will begin. If you successfully complete Star Catch, your chance of enhancement success will increase.

Stop the horizontally moving star when it enters the yellow zone to get Star Catch benefit. If you prefer not to use Star Catch, you can check “Disable Star Catching” in the Enhancement UI before starting.

※ If Disable Star Catching is on, you will not receive the bonus success rate granted by successful Star Catching.

When enhancement is completed, it may succeed or fail based on the pre-announced probability.

During Star Force Enhancement, there is a chance of a Major Failure, starting from 12 Stars and above. In the event of a Major Failure, the Star Force level will drop to 10.

• Between 12 to 17 Star Force level, you can check the Major Failure Prevention checkbox to prevent this from occurring.

• Enabling Major Failure Prevention will increase enhancement cost.

The cost of Star Force Enhancement is determined by unique mechanics of MapleStory N, which is called Dynamic Pricing system. The more demand on enhancement for a specific item group among players occurs, the higher the enhancement cost. The lower the demand for enhancement, the lower the enhancement cost.

You can check the current enhancement cost of the selected equipment in the Required Power Crystals section at the bottom, and you can check the enhancement cost information of the equipment by clicking the “Cost Info” button on the right side of the section.

The enhancement cost refreshes every minute, and you can check the remaining time until the refreshment in the Required Power Crystals section.

Information on Star Force Enhancement costs can be found not only in-game, but also on the MapleStory N official website at [Game Status] > [] section.

※ For more details, please refer to the [].
