MapleStory Cubing Calculator
What is MapleStory Cubing?
MapleStory cubing is a game mechanic where players can combine two or more equipment items to create a new, potentially stronger item. The process involves using cubes, which are items that facilitate the combination. The expected number of cubes and mesos (the game’s currency) required for cubing can be calculated using the formula below.
MapleStory Cubing Formula and Mathematical Explanation
The expected number of cubes (C) and mesos (M) required for cubing can be calculated using the following formulas:
| Cubes Type | Expected Cubes (C) | Expected Mesos (M) |
|---|---|---|
| Normal | C = N * (L * 0.05 + 0.5) | M = N * (L * 1000 + 50000) |
| Legendary | C = N * (L * 0.005 + 0.05) | M = N * (L * 10000 + 500000) |
| Epic | C = N * (L * 0.0005 + 0.005) | M = N * (L * 100000 + 5000000) |
Where:
- N is the number of cubes
- L is the average level of the cubes
Practical Examples
Example 1: Normal Cubes
If a player wants to cube 5 normal cubes with an average level of 150, the expected number of cubes and mesos required would be:
- Expected Cubes: 5 * (150 * 0.05 + 0.5) = 5 * 12.5 = 62.5
- Expected Mesos: 5 * (150 * 1000 + 50000) = 5 * 155000 = 775000
Example 2: Legendary Cubes
If a player wants to cube 3 legendary cubes with an average level of 180, the expected number of cubes and mesos required would be:
- Expected Cubes: 3 * (180 * 0.005 + 0.05) = 3 * 1.9 = 5.7
- Expected Mesos: 3 * (180 * 10000 + 500000) = 3 * 1850000 = 5550000

Key Factors That Affect MapleStory Cubing Results
- Number of Cubes (N): The more cubes used, the higher the expected number of cubes and mesos required.
- Cubes’ Average Level (L): Higher-level cubes require more resources for cubing.
- Cubes’ Type: Normal, legendary, and epic cubes have different resource requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What happens if I don’t have enough mesos or cubes?
The cubing process will fail, and you will lose the cubes used.
Can I use different types of cubes together?
No, you must use the same type of cubes for each cubing attempt.
What happens if I get a successful cube?
You will receive a new item with potentially better stats than the original items used for cubing.
What if I don’t get a successful cube?
The original items used for cubing will be destroyed, and you will lose them.
Can I use this calculator for other games?
No, this calculator is specifically designed for MapleStory cubing.
What if I want to cube more than 6 items?
You will need to perform multiple cubing attempts, as the maximum number of items that can be cubed at once is 6.
Can I use this calculator to determine the best items to cube?
No, this calculator only helps you determine the expected resources required for cubing. The best items to cube depend on various factors, such as their stats, potential, and demand in the game’s market.
