Maple Story Skills - Improving Max MP Increase

Improving Max MP Increase is a skill that should be maxed out as soon as possible. There is very much confusion about what exactly this skill does, and in this Maple Story skill guide I hope to clear up some of that.

Every time you level up in Maple Story you gain a certain amount of MP, or Mana Points. How much you gain is based on several factors including your level and the total amount of INT. The other thing is how many points you have in the skill Improving Max MP Increase.

When you start off you should max this one as soon as you can. Put one point in bolt, then five points in MP Recovery and max out Improving Max MP Increase. Why is this skill so important to have maxed out early? Let's look at the chart for this skill.

1. If MaxMP levels up, +2, if AP is applied, +1 more

2. If MaxMP levels up, +4, if AP is applied, +2 more

3. If MaxMP levels up, +6, if AP is applied, +3 more

4. If MaxMP levels up, +8, if AP is applied, +4 more

5. If MaxMP levels up, +10, if AP is applied, +5 more

6. If MaxMP levels up, +12, if AP is applied, +6 more

7. If MaxMP levels up, +14, if AP is applied, +7 more

8. If MaxMP levels up, +16, if AP is applied, +8 more

9. If MaxMP levels up, +18, if AP is applied, +9 more

10. If MaxMP levels up, +20, if AP is applied, +10 more

There are 10 levels to this skill, and with three points given at each level up you can have this one maxed with four level-ups. This chart tells you first how much extra MP you are given, and then how much extra you get if you use an ability point to your MP. Since you should never under any circumstances use an ability point on HP and MP, it will be the first part of this chart that's of any importance.

With one point in Improving Max MP Increase you get 2 extra Mana Points every time you level. This is in addition to the increase you normally would get, so in 50 levels you have gained yourself 100 extra Mana Points by putting just one point in it.

If you max this one you will get 20 more Mana Points in addition to what you normally get, and in 50 levels this is 1000 Mana Points extra. You do not want to miss out on 1000 Mana Points in 50 levels if you want to be a successful magician, as your MP is of the uttermost importance. MP is both your source of magic as well as defense with Magic Guard, so to keep it as high as possible is very important.

The earlier you have it maxed out, the higher your final MP will be. Don't let this opportunity pass you by, get ten points into this skill as soon as you can.
