Compare skills, monsters, equipment and items
Pick up to six skills, monsters, pieces of equipment or items from MapleStory Classic and every number is lined up in one table, with the better one in each row marked. Skills can be compared at their max level or all at the same level.

- Equipment: every attack, defence and stat bonus, requirements, attack speed and upgrade slots. Start with Broadsword vs Gladius vs Cutlus.
- Items: what potions and food restore, shop price, and HP and MP per meso. Start with Red Potion vs Orange Potion vs White Potion.

How is HP per meso worked out?
It is the HP an item restores divided by the cheapest shop price reported for it. MP per meso works the same way. An item that no reported shop sells has no ratio, and nothing is estimated.
Why not use the resell value?
Selling an item back to a shop pays only about a tenth of what the shop charges for it, so the resell value would make every potion look ten times better than it is. The ratios here use the price you actually pay.
Why do Elixir and Mana Elixir have no ratio?
They restore a percentage of your maximum HP and MP, so what they give back depends on your own HP and MP pool. A per meso figure would only be true for one imagined character, so it is left blank.
