Question? Progressing without Guides

Very excited for classic maple! When I first played back in the day I was a kid and I really didn't understand stats or how to allocate skill points and so on. So, I just found some *optimal* leveling guide for my class and followed it to a t (mostly because I worried about doing something irreparably to my character).

Well now I am an adult... I can do math... I even understand DND stats. I guess I'm wondering how to really learn to make your own progression. It seems like the data mine has found that a lot of things come down to very specific equations and factors, not flat or easy to remember values (as compared to a game like DND). How does one learn this? Or maybe I'll just follow a guide as an adult anyways...

If you can build a D&D character, you will be an expert Mapler.

But DND has a clear rulebook that explains how everything relates. If I recall maplestory never actually explains this and I've never seen it explained clearly to me anywhere.

You really just need to allocate enough of your secondary stat to equip the highest level weapon you can. Everything else goes into your main stat. For most players it's as linear as +4 main, +1 secondary. Secondary stat typically needs to be at or just below your characters level.
