How To Unlock The Pocket Slot (Charm Requirement)

Players must reach a charm level of 30 which will automatically complete the quest “Excessively Charming” and unlock the pocket slot. Players will primarily raise charm with trait boosts items and equipment:

Trait Boost Items

Players can use Trait Boost Potions and Premium Cologne/Cologne to raise charm level from the following sources:

Maple Daily Gift (Day 13)
Event Shops
Monster Collection Explorations
Monster Park (Wednesday)

Equipment

Various MapleStory boss dropped items provide charm when first equipped. These items should be equipped before selling them to NPC merchants to help you reach level 30 charm:

Zakum & Chaos Zakum Helmet
Von Leon Equipment
Chaos Root Abyss Equipment
Horntail Equipment

Best Pocket Slot Items

MapleStory has a limited number of pocket slot items and while they cannot gain potential they still provide a significant damage boost through flame stats and contributing to item sets. The Pink Holy Cup will be best in slot for most players as it has high availability from Pink Bean that makes acquiring one yourself or from the Auction House easy.

Pocket Item	Source	Stats
Cursed Spellbook (Red, Blue, Green, Yellow)	Hard Will	+20 to a single stat (STR, DEX, INT, LUK) +10 to remaining stats (STR, DEX, INT, LUK) +10 Weapon Attack +10 Magic Attack +100 Max HP +100 Max MP
Pink Holy Cup	Pink Bean & Chaos Pink Bean	+5 All Stat (STR, DEX, INT, LUK) +5 Weapon Attack +5 Magic Attack +50 Max HP +50 Max MP
Stone of Eternal Life	Normal & Hard Hilla	+3 All Stat (STR, DEX, INT, LUK) +3 Weapon Attack +3 Magic Attack

Old Pocket Slot Quest (Retired)

The “Excessively Charming” quest line has automatically completed once players reach level 30 charm since November 2022 (Ignition v.237 patch). Prior to this players had to complete the pocket slot quest by obtaining a Rose Clipping which is detailed below for archive purposes and those interested in the steps to unlock the pocket slot previously:

Accept the “Excessively Charming” quest from Big Headward in the star tab on the left of your screen where you accept MapleStory event content.
Obtain a Rose Clipping via the auction house (cheap on normal servers) or harvesting herbs with the herbalism skill in Ardentmill. In order to get a Reboot Rose Clipping you must harvest it yourself which generally takes around 5-10 minutes depending on your luck.
To harvest your own Rose Clipping you’ll need the herbalism skill by talking to Grant the Elder in Ardentmill and completing The Professional quest.
After completing The Professional quest talk to Saffron to learn herbalism as your desired profession skill.
Enter the portal at the bottom right of the Ardentmill map and visit the Novice Secret Herb Patch. While other herb patches can drop Rose Clippings they only drop on a successful harvest so choosing easy to harvest herbs is most efficient.
Begin harvesting herbs from the map using the harvest key in your key settings (default spacebar). The Rose Clipping item is a random drop when harvesting is successful.
Visit the Hair Salon in Henesys (portal left of Lana pictured)

Talk to Big Headward and you will have finished the quest. On completion players also obtain a pocket item (Rose).
