MapleStory Legion Artifact Guide

August 28, 2024

MapleStory Legion Artifact system is an extension of the Legion System that allows you to gain extra stats by playing MapleStory. It rewards those who actively play MapleStory, allowing you to customize what stats you need to increase.

This guide will show you how you can use the MapleStory Legion Artifact system, the best Artifact Missions to complete and how the Artifact Bonuses work.

The MapleStory Legion Artifact System was introduced in patch V251 GO West. It can be accessed from the Legion tab in MapleStory and works directly with the MapleStory Legion System.

MapleStory Legion Artifact Explained

Legion Artifact

The MapleStory Legion Artifact System allows you to obtain extra stats that will expire after 30 days to all of your characters. You can extend the duration of these stats using Artifact Points, which you earn from participating in Artifact Missions.

You can access the Legion Artifact by selecting the Manage Legion option from the main menu and then selecting the Artifact Tab on the side of the Legion UI.

There are several new stats to be aware of:

  • Artifact Level - This is the level of your Legion Artifact system. It increases by completing Artifact Missions and earning Artifact EXP.
  • Artifact EXP - EXP is earned by completing the Artifact Missions and is used to increase the level of your Legion Artifact system.
  • Artifact Points - Artifact Points are earned by completing Artifact Missions and are used to reset stats and extend the duration of Crystals.
  • Artifact AP - AP is used to upgrade the level of your Crystals. AP is earned as you level up the Legion Artifact system.

The Legion Artifact system is made up of a grid containing 9 Crystal Slots. Each Crystal Slot allows you to assign an Artifact Crystal that can be leveled up to max level of 5.

You can choose up to three different Artifact Bonuses per Crystal. These are stats that will be applied to all your characters on your account.

As you increase the Crystal Level, the stats will also increase. Each bonus has a max level of 10; if you assign the same stat to multiple crystals, the levels are added up but won't ever go over the max of 10.

You start off with 3 available Crystal Slots and as you increase your Artifact Level, you obtain more slots.

Your Artifact Level increases based on the amount of Artifact EXP you earn from Legion Artifact Missions.

MapleStory Legion Artifact Bonuses

Crystal Bonuses

You can obtain the following Legion Artifact Bonuses by applying these stats to any unlocked crystals you have. Each stat has a max level of 10.

Since each Crystal can only have a max level of 5, you'll need multiple Level 5 Crystals in order to max out the stat.

Stat Level 1 Max Level (10)
All Stats +15 +150
Max HP / MP +75 +7,500
Attack Power / Magic ATT1 +3 +30
Damage +1.5% +15%

MapleStory Legion Artifact Crystals

You have a total of 9 Crystal Slots in the Legion Artifact system. Starting at Artifact Level 1, you'll have 3 slots unlocked. Reaching Artifact Level 60 will unlock all the Crystal Slots.

  • Artifact Level 1 - 3 Crystal Slots
  • Artifact Level 10 - 4 Crystal Slots
  • Artifact Level 20 - 5 Crystal Slots
  • Artifact Level 30 - 6 Crystal Slots
  • Artifact Level 40 - 7 Crystal Slots
  • Artifact Level 50 - 8 Crystal Slots
  • Artifact Level 60 - 9 Crystal Slots

Each Artifact Crystal you create will last a total of 30 days. You can then extend the crystal for another 30 days using Artifact Points.

When a Crystal Expires, the Artifact Bonuses will no longer be applied until you decide to extend the duration again. Crystals do not disappear when they expire.

Right-Clicking on a Crystal will present you with three options:

  • Convert Stats - Change the stats the crystal applies to your account. This costs 500 Artifact Points.
  • Level Up Rank - Increases the Crystals Level, which in turn increases the stat bonus. This costs Artifact AP.
  • Extend Duration - Extend the duration of the Crystal by 30 days. This costs 470 Artifact Points.

Level Up Crystal

To max out a Crystal, it costs a total of 8 AP:

  • Level 1 to Level 2 - Costs: 1 AP
  • Level 2 to Level 3 - Costs: 2 AP
  • Level 3 to Level 4 - Costs: 2 AP
  • Level 4 to Level 5 (MAX) - Costs: 3 AP

You can reset all your Crystals and Stats for 500 Artifact Points.
