Description
Intelligence is one of the major stats found within Maplestory, with the others being Strength, Dexterity, Luck, Health Points, and Mana Points. This skill affects Magician skills, equipment, and MP (This is for all classes but the MP increase is minimal.) Thus, building this stat on any other job is pointless. It is commonly abbreviated as simply "INT" within MapleStory.
Effects
- Intelligence determines the amount of Magic Attack(and "Magic Accuracy, for Magicians") and Magic Defense a character has.
- For each point of Intellegence a character has, the Magic Attack and Magic Defense of that character is increased by 1.
- Affects MP gained per level.
- INT, DEX, and LUK are added to determine Hands, which, is used to determine how fast you are able to use your weapon i.e. how fast you can shoot and arrow as a bowman or how fast you can throw a star as a thief.
Where Intelligence is required
- Magicians require a certain amount of Intelligence to equip their armor and weapons.
- Beginners require 20 Intelligence to advance as a Magician.
- Intelligence is the only stat that contributes to Magician damage, as such Magicians must allocate a majority of their AP to it.
Gaining Intelligence
- For the most part, Intelligence is increased by adding Ability Points to it.
- Intelligence bonuses are given out in some of the Magician's equipments.
- Scrolling your equipment:
| Scroll name | 100% | 70% | 60% | 30% | 10% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cape INT | 1 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 |
| Helmet INT | - | 2 | - | 3 | - |
| Overall INT | 1 | 2 | 2 | 5 | 5 |
- The 4th job skill, Maple Hero, grants +10% Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence and Luck.
- Magic Potions and Magic Pills do NOT increase Intelligence. They do, however, increase your Magic Attack.
