I just recently came back to maplestory. I'm getting drops I can't even find on basil, these are level ~30 equips. I play Bera, is everyone just past these levels and any equips for lower levels are worthless, or what? I don't know what to do with them besides NPC them and they barely go for anything.

lower level items are worthless cuz of potential (obviously seeing how you have the mage visitor suit) and cuz you can just buy them off shops.... so its pointless selling on basil

potential is based on level equips..... the higher the level the better the potential.... but sometimes you may be lucky to get something good say a 1 all amethyst earrings.... also if you cube it can change from the rankings (idunno them srry) giving it better stats.... say 6% str etc.... it can give pretty much any stats say wep att... obviously only for weapons lol

There are four tiers of potential, 0~30, 31~70, 71~120 , and 121+ depending on the tiers, the potential value changes. higher the level, higher the value of potential. IE, a lvl 25 top will give 1% or 3% (or +1 and +3) where as a level 100 item will give 6% and 9% (or +6 and +9) and the upside of also getting skills. Every item will have generic rankings, no potential(use a potential scroll to give a item that has no potential, potential), rare potential, epic and unique. You can change the potential via cubes. If you cube, the item has a chance of going from rare potential, to epic, to unique. It can never go down a rank.
