This is a new mechanic introduced through the Familiar revamp.
Currently, Legendary Rarity Familiars can only be obtained by spending money using Red Familiar Cards. You may even get some Potentials that don’t add any stats and is solely cosmetic.įamiliars that were registered before the Familiar Revamp retain their set potential abilities.įamiliar Rarities range from Common, Rare, Epic, Unique and Legendary with higher rarity familiars being harder to obtain because they will have better stats and abilities associated with them. Players can then roll their Familiar’s potential to get a multitude of abilities such as (but not limited to): Originally these Familiars had a fixed potential ability but as of the revamp, every new Familiar will grant 2 potentials where one is based on their current rank and other based is on the previous rank.
This Summon Gauge gets reset back to full at midnight of everyday. That means having 3 familiars active at once will always make the Summon Gauge deplete slow than just having 1 or 2 active. The rate that the Summon Gauge depletes depends on the total sum of your summoned Familiars’ Defenese. While the Familiars are summoned, they will deplete the Summon Gauge. After registering a Familiar to the Familiar Codex, players can then summon that familiar into Battle. The familiar card then can be used in the player’s Use inventory registering the familiar into Roro, the Familiar Codex. The Familiar System is now much more robust, complex, grindy and rewarding than it’s previous iteration but this has opened up to many more opportunities for Nexon to introduce new bugs and to monetize this new system. The Familiar System in Maplestory is a system where when some monsters are defeated, they might drop a familiar card that can then be used to use summon that monsters as an ally.
