KMS-based potential tables: 2023-11-14; GMS rates may differ. Tier-up rates use captured community estimates. Levels 71–119 and 160+ use the archived level approximation. Sources and formulas.

Advanced options · override odds

Override only the complete target-roll chance. Tier-up rates stay unchanged. Choose a potential target other than Any.

Percentiles describe success probability, not guaranteed limits. Tier-up and target rolls are separate stages; a matching roll on the tier-up cube is not credited. An already-met target needs no cubes.

Save for the outcome, not just the average

A cube average tells you how many rolls a target takes across repeated sessions; it does not guarantee a result in your next session. Cubing success budgets show how many cubes reach 50%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90% or 95% success under the model.

Star Force adds equipment destruction and recovery costs. Compare events before spending: 5/10/15, 30% off and Shining affect different parts of the upgrade path. Choose your region’s rules before comparing two budgets.

All initial answers are available without JavaScript. Changing calculator inputs updates results locally; no account is needed. Potential tables are KMS-based and may differ from GMS. Prices and events are estimates, not live game data.

Plan your next upgrade

Choose an upgrade system

Separate a potential-line budget from an enhancement budget before deciding where to spend.

Save beyond the mean

Use success budgets for cubes and sample percentiles for Star Force to allow for unlucky sessions.

Compare like with like

Keep region, equipment and target fixed while changing just the cube or event.

Compare the right numbers

Cubing

Regular Potential tiers and lines; budgets are in cubes and mesos.

Star Force

Enhancement stars; budgets include attempt mesos and separate destruction counts.

A simple average

Useful across repeated sessions, but does not set a reliable spending cap for one item.

MapleStory calculator FAQ

Which MapleStory calculator should I use first?

Use Cubing for regular Potential lines and tier-up budgets. Use Star Force for enhancement mesos and destroyed-equipment risk. They spend different resources and answer different questions.

Can I open a target-specific plan?

Yes. Each calculator links to related target plans. Those pages open a specific cube, slot or star range so you can start with a relevant scenario and then adjust its inputs.

Can I plan a fixed upgrade budget?

Yes. In Cubing, enter cubes in your budget and inspect success probability. For Star Force, compare exact averages and sampled percentiles, then add the price of replacement equipment yourself.

Is the average enough to save?

Not necessarily. Upgrade outcomes have long tails. Compare the average with a higher success budget and decide how much failure risk you can accept.

Do these tools work for every region?

Potential tables are KMS-based snapshots, not official GMS guarantees. Star Force has selectable regional and historical rules. Confirm the model matches your server before comparing prices.

Can I compare cube types?

Yes. Choose the same slot, level and target for each cube, then compare both count and mesos. A cheaper cube is not automatically the cheaper route to a particular target.

Are shop prices and event dates live?

No. Set your own cube prices and choose the applicable Star Force event. The calculators do not read your character, shop or event calendar.

Do I need an account or upload game data?

No. Calculator inputs update locally in your browser. Share links encode selected inputs in the URL; do not put private information in them.

Choose the matching rules, set a target, and leave room for unlucky outcomes.
