After reading this you will know what the record says about Stumpy in MapleStory Classic World (Classic World from here on): its level, HP, MP, EXP per kill, element weakness and spawn map. You will also know which numbers are still missing, and where Stumpy sits between Mano and Mushmom on the boss ladder. Classic World runs inside the Global MapleStory (GMS) client, and Stumpy is the boss Nexon added at Grand Launch.
Assumptions and what the data does not cover
Every figure below comes from the fact sheet this site maintains. Nothing here is a measured kill time, so I am not assuming a level, class, party size or potion budget for any result. Here is what is missing:
- Drops: no drops are recorded for Stumpy yet, so there is no item list and no drop rate.
- Respawn: the respawn field for Stumpy is blank. I will not copy the 60 minute figure from Mano or Mushmom onto it.
- Route: no map-by-map route to Stumpy's map is recorded.
- Map level: the Parched Land entry has no map level.
- Class results: no kill data exists for any class, so there is no per hour or per kill result I can quote for a player build.
Where a number is missing I say so rather than fill the gap. If you see a Stumpy figure elsewhere that is not in the table below, treat it as unverified until it shows up in the records.
Stumpy at a glance
Nexon's Grand Launch release notes list six bosses you can challenge: Mano, Stumpy, Mushmom, Shade, Zombie Mushmom and Jr. Balrog, plus King Slime inside the Kerning City Party Quest. Stumpy joined the five Founder's Access bosses at Grand Launch, which was October 21, 2026 at 11:00 AM PDT per Nexon's FAQ. The table below is everything recorded for Stumpy.
| Field | Stumpy |
|---|
| Level | 35 |
| HP | 19220 |
| MP | 150 |
| EXP per kill | 276 |
| Type | BOSS |
| Weak to | Fire |
| Resists | Lightning |
| Primary location | Parched Land (Victoria Island) |
| Count on map | 1 |
| Listed respawn | Not listed |
| Drops | None recorded |
The table reads in one direction: Stumpy is a single spawn of a level 35 monster with 19220 HP, and it pays 276 EXP per kill. It is weak to Fire and resists Lightning, so a Fire attack should do more than a Lightning attack. The record gives no multiplier for either, so I cannot say how much more.
Where Stumpy spawns and how to get there
Stumpy's primary location is Parched Land, in the Victoria Island region, with one Stumpy on the map. That is the full spawn entry. The map level and the respawn timer are both blank, which means I cannot give you a spawn cycle or an EXP per hour figure for Stumpy.
For comparison, the other two bosses in this guide do have routes and timers recorded:
- Mano spawns at Thicket Around the Beach III, a map listed at levels 2 to 4, with a respawn of 3600 seconds. The route from Lith Harbor takes 4 map changes, all by free portal: Right Around Lith Harbor, Thicket Around the Beach I, Thicket Around the Beach II, then Thicket Around the Beach III.
- Mushmom spawns at Someone Else's House with a respawn of 3600 seconds. The route from Henesys takes 4 map changes, all by free hidden portal: An Empty House, Pig Park, Pig Park II, then Someone Else's House.
Stumpy has no equivalent route entry, so I will not invent one. Once a route is recorded, this section is where it belongs.
Which levels and classes can take Stumpy
Stumpy is level 35, and the maximum character level in Classic World is 100, per Nexon's Founder's Access release notes. The record lists no minimum level to enter Parched Land and no level requirement to attack Stumpy, so there is no official floor. All I can offer is the relationship between levels: Stumpy at level 35 sits 15 levels above Mano at level 20 (35 minus 20) and 5 levels below Mushmom at level 40 (40 minus 35).
On classes, the launch game has four job branches (Warrior, Magician, Bowman, Thief) plus Beginner, with first and second job advancement only. The fact sheet holds no per-class result against Stumpy, so I cannot say which branch handles it best at a given level, solo or in a party. What the record does support is the element advice:
- Check your attack elements. Stumpy is weak to Fire, so a Fire attack is the one to favor if your class has one. Lightning is resisted, so a Lightning attack is the one to avoid.
- Size the fight against 19220 HP. Divide 19220 by the damage your main skill does per hit to see how many hits one kill takes. The record has no per-hit numbers, so this is a calculation you run on your own character.
- Plan potions around the long fight. The record lists Stumpy's 150 MP but no attack values, so I cannot tell you how much damage you will take per hit. Bring more than you think you need until you have seen one kill.
- Check your channel. Per Nexon's FAQ, monsters, drops and quests are identical on every channel, and only the players differ. Party members must be on the same channel to play together. If the map is crowded, change channel.
If you want to know what a death costs, the site's guide on dying in Classic World covers EXP loss and respawn. I am not restating those numbers here because they are not in this guide's fact sheet.
Stumpy vs Mano vs Mushmom
These three bosses cover a level range that a character can plausibly pass through in order. The table sets out the recorded values side by side. A value marked Not listed means the record does not give it.
| Boss | Level | HP | MP | EXP per kill | Weak to | Listed respawn |
|---|
| Mano | 20 | 7420 | 30 | 148 | Not listed | 60 minutes |
| Stumpy | 35 | 19220 | 150 | 276 | Fire | Not listed |
| Mushmom | 40 | 34440 | 200 | 340 | Fire | 60 minutes |
The pattern is that HP climbs much faster than EXP. Stumpy has 19220 HP against Mano's 7420, which is more than two and a half times as much, yet it pays 276 EXP against Mano's 148, which is less than double. Mushmom has 34440 HP against Stumpy's 19220 and pays 340 EXP against 276. Each step up the ladder asks you to chew through noticeably more HP for each extra point of EXP.
Treat that as a description of the table, not a ranking of which boss to farm. It ignores drops, which are unknown for Stumpy. It ignores respawn, which is unknown for Stumpy. It also ignores how fast any class actually kills, and the record has no kill times. At the listed 60 minute respawn, Mano gives at most one kill per hour from its single spawn, so at most 148 EXP per hour from the boss alone (148 EXP per kill, one kill per 60 minutes). The same arithmetic for Mushmom gives at most 340 EXP per hour (340 EXP per kill, one kill per 60 minutes). Those are ceilings that assume you are present at every respawn and kill instantly. The record has no respawn for Stumpy, so no EXP per hour figure can be derived for it.
Where Stumpy sits on the boss ladder
Putting every recorded boss in level order shows where Stumpy fits:
- Mano: level 20, 7420 HP, 148 EXP.
- King Slime: level 32, 16820 HP, 2400 EXP. It lives inside the Kerning City Party Quest, in the map 1st Accompaniment (Last Stage), and the quest Proof of Companionship (level 21) involves hunting it. It resists Fire, Holy, Ice and Lightning and has no listed weakness.
- Stumpy: level 35, 19220 HP, 276 EXP.
- Mushmom: level 40, 34440 HP, 340 EXP.
- Shade: level 48, 47000 HP, 488 EXP. The quest An Old Grudge (level 47) involves hunting it, and its primary location is Cabin of the Forsaken, per NiaMeowDB.
- Zombie Mushmom: level 55, 66640 HP, 668 EXP.
- Jr. Balrog: level 80, 325400 HP, 2188 EXP.
Stumpy fills the gap between King Slime and Mushmom. King Slime pays 2400 EXP at 16820 HP, far more per kill than Stumpy's 276 EXP at 19220 HP, but King Slime sits inside a party quest rather than an open field map. So the two are not interchangeable targets, and the comparison only shows that the quest boss is a different kind of encounter.
Rotten Mushmom (level 60, 86400 HP, 844 EXP) is not on the ladder you can climb today, because it lives in Forgotten Hollow, which Nexon says opens in November. Zakum is the name of the top Founder's Package tier and is not a boss you can fight at launch.
Stumpy drops: what is and is not known
No drops are recorded for Stumpy yet. That means no item names, no minimum or maximum quantities and no drop rates, and I will not guess from the level or the name. The comparison bosses give a sense of what a drop entry looks like in the record, though even theirs have no rates filled in:
| Boss | Recorded drops | Rates recorded |
|---|
| Stumpy | None | No |
| Mano | Rainbow-colored Snail Shell, Scroll Crafting Stimulator | No |
| Mushmom | Mushmom Spore, Ilbi Throwing Stars, Orange Whitebottom Boots, Intermediate | No |
Even for Mano and Mushmom, the record names the items but gives no rate, so you cannot work out a drop value per kill or per hour yet. For Stumpy you cannot even say what is on the table. If you farm Stumpy before the record fills in, treat the loot as unknown and do not count on a specific item when planning a potion budget.
What to check next
Until more of Stumpy's record fills in, the useful questions are the ones the data cannot answer yet:
- What is the actual respawn timer on Parched Land? Mano and Mushmom both list 60 minutes, but Stumpy's field is blank.
- What does Stumpy drop, and at what rate?
- What is the map level of Parched Land?
- Is there a recorded route, and how many map changes does it take?
Until those are filled in, the safe summary at level 35 as a character of any branch is this: Stumpy is a 19220 HP single-spawn boss that pays 276 EXP per kill, takes extra damage from Fire, and resists Lightning. Everything else is unknown, and this guide will be updated as the record grows.
