"New Alien Socket System
Alien forces have invaded NLC, but theres an upside: they brought their technology with them! The aliens use an advanced nanoprocessing system to transform ores into powerful rocks of full of magical energy . They've even discovered how to fuse these stones onto their equipment, granting them awesome power. They call these stones...Nebulite!
The Alien Socket System is a new way to upgrade your weapons on top of the existing Potential and Enhancement system.
Players can take their weapons to NPC Bo in various major towns to install a Socket onto their item.
1 socket can be drilled into each weapon.
A square will appear on the left side of the item icon once a socket is created.
Players can choose a Nebulite to install, granting special powers.
Empty sockets have no special powers.
The monsters of Maple World will drop various Nebulites with different powers and grades (A, B, C, and D, with A being the highest).
Nebulite can be placed directly into a Socket OR be upgraded to make them more powerful.
To install a Nebulite, double-click on the Nebulite (SETUP tab) and place a weapon with an open Socket in the UI slot. Click OK to attach the Nebulite to the socket.
Basic Nebulites can be purchased from NPC Pika in New Leaf City using Beyond the Stars Coin. Help out NPC Icebyrd Slimm to earn Beyond the Stars Coins.
Nebulite powers stack with Potential and Enhancement stat boosts. However, some passive skills that trigger skills or change facial expressions do not stack.
Nebulite can be reset and upgraded with the new Alien Cube (cash item).
Alien Cubes will reset the power of the stone or even upgrade it to the next grade.
Double-click on the Alien Cubein your inventory to open up a window.
Place the Nebulite of your choice inside to reset and or upgrade.
Each cube will also come with an Alien Diffuser Fragment.
To detach a Nebulite from a weapon, double-click the Nebulite Diffuser (cash item) and place the weapon with the Nebulite you want to remove into the UI slot. The Nebulite you choose will be destroyed and your Socket will be free for use.
You can trade in 10 Nebulite Diffuser Fragments for 1 Nebulite Diffuser (cash item). Double-click on the icon once you have 10 or more Nebulite Diffuser Fragments.
