Understanding the Hexa Matrix & Fragment Costs
The introduction of the 6th Job in MapleStory (New Age update) brought a new progression system: the Hexa Matrix. To upgrade your character's power, you need two primary resources: Sol Erda and Sol Erda Fragments. This calculator helps you plan your farming routine by estimating exactly how many materials you need to reach your desired skill levels.
Resource Types
Sol Erda Fragments: These are tradeable within the account (in some regions) or character-bound items dropped by mobs in Grandis (Cernium and beyond) and obtained via Daily Quests. They are the primary bottleneck for most players.
Sol Erda (Energy): This is the energy resource obtained by combining Sol Erda Energy (dropped by mobs) or completing the daily quest. 1 Sol Erda unit usually requires 1000 Energy.
Node Types Explained
The costs in the calculator vary significantly based on the type of node you are upgrading:
Origin Skill (Hexa Skill): Your flashy new 6th job ultimate. It has high burst damage and bind capabilities. Upgrading this is expensive, with significant cost spikes at levels 10, 20, and 30.
Mastery Node: These upgrade your 4th job or lower main attacking skills. They are generally the most efficient damage-per-fragment upgrade for most classes and cost less than the Origin skill.
Boost Node (Enhance): These provide stats to your existing 5th job skills. While the initial costs are moderate, maxing them out is crucial for classes heavily reliant on their V-Matrix burst skills.
Common Node: Skills like Sol Janus require a massive amount of fragments (over 6,000 for level 30) but provide excellent farming utility or passive buffs.
Farming & Daily Quests
Consistency is key in the 6th Job progression. By completing your Daily Quest in High Mountain/Grandis areas, you typically earn 12 Fragments per day (plus drops from mobs).
Tip: Use the "Estimated Daily Fragments" field in the calculator to see how long it will take to max a skill. If you grind for 1 hour a day with high drop rate, you might average 20-30 fragments total per day.
Strategy
Most players prioritize unlocking the Mastery Node and Origin Skill (Level 1) immediately. Afterward, bringing the Mastery Node to Level 19 or 29 is often a common stopping point before saving for the expensive Level 10/20/30 checkpoints. Use this tool to ensure you don't fall short of fragments right before a major power spike level.
