Level 200 characters in MapleLegends

This is a data visualization of level 200 characters in MapleLegends, an old-school MapleStory private server started in 2015. This dataset was scraped from the ranking 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.

Find the source code here. See this notebook for exploratory analysis on the data. The compiled SQLite database can be directly queried within the browser via SQL.js in the editor tab. Visualizations are rendered from the database using Plotly.

Here are direct links to the JSON and SQLite datasets, last updated on 2021-01-01.

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.

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.
