From Newbie to Nameless Town: How to Progress in Heroic Kronos & Hyperion

In the Heroic servers, you can’t buy your way to the top. It’s all about efficiency. The journey to the endgame has changed significantly with the “New Age” and “Dreamer” updates.

The Early Game (1-200)

Focus on your Link Skills and Legion. Getting characters like Mercedes, Evan, and Aran to Level 120 early will massive speed up your main character’s leveling. Don’t worry about perfect gear yet; Pensalir equipment with 6% Main Stat is enough to get you through.

The Mid-Game (200-235)

Once you hit 5th Job, your priority shifts to Arcane Symbols. This is the “time-gate” of MapleStory. Completing your dailies is non-negotiable. At this stage, you should aim for your 3-set CRA (Chaos Root Abyss) and Superior Gollux gear.

• Tip: If you’re struggling to solo CRA, a quick carry can jumpstart your damage by weeks.

The Late Game (260+)

Welcome to Grandis. With the introduction of 6th Job (HEXA Matrix), the grind for Sol Erda begins. Progression now depends on your ability to clear Hard Tenebris bosses and eventually the Black Mage.
