page. Only characters that have made it
to level 200, the max level in the game, are included in the ranking
table.
The leveling
table includes the leveling
history of each of the
characters in the ranking.

Job Distribution
How many people have reached level 200 in each job?
Bishops are by far the most popular job due to their high utility (and one of
the few jobs with a dedicated discord bot command
!bishop
). Nightlords are also a popular choice as an attacker in boss runs. Pirates
are under-represented in the level 200 pool.
Age Distribution
What is the average age for a character that reaches level 200?
There are two peaks in the plot (i.e. it's bimodal ). You either make it to level 200 in one or two years. The are a few players that have take 4-5 years to reach to finish who probably took a long break from the game.
Events by Month
What is the count of players reaching level 200 each month?
MapleLegends has seen significant growth in the last two years. The number of level 200 players entering the rankings reflects this fact.
Time to Level
How long did it on average to level up?
This plot has a boxplot for each level with the number of hours it took to level up. There is a notable jump in the number of hours for second, third, and fourth job advancements (probably because you'd call it a day on after a job advancement). Players level 180+ are averaging about 9 days between level ups.
