Learn how to get potential scrolls in Reboot and regular MapleStory servers with this comprehensive guide to all sources and optimisation tips to acquiring these powerful progression items. While non-Reboot servers have the ease of the auction house players in Reboot will need to farm their own potential scrolls from these sources.
I recommend players focus on current events, Legion Coin Shop, Yu Garden Dailies, Bounty Portals and Monster Collection for consistent potential scrolls.

Epic Potential Scrolls Sources
Potential scrolls are available through the following sources in approximate order of best availability. This list is focused on sources of epic potential scrolls (epot) as they are more valuable than normal potential scrolls.
| Source | Notes |
|---|---|
| Events | Should only be considered after acquiring other important event items. |
| Legion Coin Shop | Requires players to build up their account first and there are other important competing purchases here. |
| Yu Garden Shop (Reboot Only) | A popular and consistent reboot method based around Yu Garden dailies. |
| Maple Daily Gift | Available on Day 20. |
| Bounty Portals | Pollo and Fritto portals or Inferno Wolf portals within the Advanced Hunter Pouch reward. |
| Monster Collection | A passive method from 6hr and 24hr explorations. |
| Elite Boss | Can be actively hunted or passively spawned by staying in a single training location. |
| Sudden Missions | Simple to complete tasks with a small chance of epic potential scrolls. |
| Transfer Hammer | Allows players to transfer epic potential from another piece of equipment within 10 levels. |
| Commerci Republic Quest | Limited to one at the completion of this important main quest line. |
| Ursus | A regular game activity that can occasionally lead to potential scrolls. |
| Mu Long Dojo | Requires players to already have a powerful character to rank high in the Dojo for points that can be traded for epic potential scrolls. |
Epic Potential Scrolls Tips
Below is additional information and tips on each of the sources of epots above:
Events
MapleStory has recurring events that commonly include epic potential scrolls as a reward. Coin shop events in particular that reward players for regular monster hunting during the event period will generally have these available although there will be other powerful priorities in these coin shops to consider.
Legion Coin Shop
100% epic potential scrolls are available for 300 Legion Coins which provides a reliable method once you have established your MapleStory Legion. If you have hit a progression roadblock with your main character shifting your focus to building your Legion (and Link Skills) can be a great option to progress as the Legion Coin Shop provides a number of useful account items.
Yu Garden Shop (Reboot Only)
A popular Reboot exclusive method where players complete Yu Garden dailies to earn Yu Garden Coins and trade 30 for a 50% chance scroll. Players can earn up to 6 scrolls per week by completing every quest from the daily quest board which is fully unlocked after completing the Yu Garden prequest. These tasks require players to hunt various monsters and obtain specific item drops so the quests are relatively easy to complete.
Maple Daily Gift
On day 20 of the MapleStory daily gift system players receive a 50% epic potential scroll. This is an easy method related to your daily activities although players are limited to only one per month that makes it difficult to acquire potential scrolls at scale with this method alone.
Bounty Portals
These Pollo and Fritto portals or Inferno Wolf portals spawn randomly while players are training and have a chance to reward a 50% epic potential scroll from the Advanced Hunter Pouch reward. While it can take some practice at these repeating challenges to consistently earn an Advanced Hunter Pouch this is a low effort farming option alongside your normal training gameplay.
Monster Collection
Requiring some investment and patience the Monster Collection system offers a chance of epic potential scrolls in 6 hour and 24 hour explorations and rewards when completing certain collections. My recommended collections to complete are the 24hr Ephenia (Ludas Lake Page 3, bottom line), 6hr Black Viking Line (Victoria Island Page 4, bottom line) and 6hr Green Trixter (Ludas Lake Page 5, top line).
Elite Boss
Elite boss farming as part of your core training regime or as its own separate activity can lead to many useful account rewards including 50% epic potential scrolls from the rare treasure chests that drop on kill. These enemies spawn over time while training and spawn with an announcement on the game channel which allows them to be actively hunted. Players can earn up to 2 chests per elite boss either by summoning the elite boss or dealing the most damage while everyone that deals at least some damage earns 1 chest. To maximise this source players should seek out and stay on maps that say “You feel something in the dark energy…” after killing an elite monster as this means the elite boss is close to spawning.
Sudden Missions
These have a low chance to give epic potential scrolls but are easy to complete so shouldn’t be ignored while training. These missions will appear over time automatically when training that makes them a passive source with challenges including defeating a certain number of monsters, activating a rune, reaching combo kill milestones, entering portals or defeating elite monsters.
Transfer Hammer
An overlooked method to acquire epic potential on an item is the transfer hammer mechanic which requires an item within 10 levels of your target item or create a transfer hammer chain of several items within 10 levels of each other. While not possible on all equipment types due to equipment availability if you find an epic potential equipment piece while training or bossing don’t sell it to a NPC before considering if it could be useful. Epic potential on items can regularly be found from boss fights, bonus stages after an elite boss kill and Runes of Riches. Refer to MapleStory’s official transfer hammer guide for details on this system.
Commerci Republic
Players will be rewarded with an untradeable 100% epic potential scroll from Cgynus after completing the full Commerci Republic quest line which is also required to unlock the important Commerci voyages mechanic. This takes around two hours to complete and does provide reasonable experience gain for its level range (140-150).
Ursus
One of the few options for those wondering where to buy potential scrolls directly is the Ursus Shop (Aisha) near the boss entrance by trading bones, fur, quality leather, teeth and horns that are dropped by Ursus. These resources for 50% scrolls can be earned in as little as 15 successful runs and players will be defeating Ursus anyway due to the high Meso gains.
Mu Lung Dojo
A late game option for acquiring epic potential scrolls the Dojo Points Shop allows you to exchange 15,000 points for a 50% scroll (maximum 1 purchase for week). While you can earn a small number of Dojo Points for participation this level of points will require players finish in the top percentages of the player base so this is only a reliable option for characters that are already powerful.

Great guide thank you!
