MapleStory Classic World weapon reach and attack distance
Can I hit it before it reaches me?
iWhat Weapon reach and attack distance is
A hit box is four corners in the client’s own pixel space, and the extractor reads them off every skill that has one. What comes out is not an impression of range: it is how far in front of you a cast lands, how far above your head, how far below your feet, and how much of that you only get at max rank.

A row with no forward reach is not a mistake: a thrown skill stores a vertical slab, because what carries it across the screen is the projectile rather than the box. Read those by their height.
Measured at max rank from data/extract/skills.json. The other 126 skills the classes list carry no box at all: their reach is whatever the equipped weapon’s own animation covers, which is a rule rather than a number and is on the attack speed page.
The 21 rows marked CoT2 here and below are third-job skills from the Closed Online Test 2 client. The Public Release has no third job; they are kept as a record of what that client measured.

Separated deliberately. These boxes are how far a buff will find somebody, not how far a swing lands, and a table that mixed the two would have a Cleric out-reaching a Spearman.
What this cannot tell you
- The reach of an ordinary swing. A basic attack has no skill row and therefore no box; its reach is the weapon’s own animation, which the client decides at cast time.
- Where the box sits during the animation. These are the corners, not the frames. The skill pages animate the cast against a monster at both ends of the rank slider, which is the version of this you can watch rather than read.
- Whether you will actually hit. Reach puts the monster in the box; accuracy decides the rest, and that is on the formulas page.
