In-game description

A transparent jewel.

Liven's take

Diamond is an ETC-category gemstone that drops rarely from mid-to-high-level mobs. In-game description: "A transparent jewel." No stats, no equip requirement - it's a pure crafting and quest material.

Why it matters: Diamond is the bottleneck item for two of Classic MapleStory's iconic quest chains:

How to acquire: no monster drops a Diamond in the current client datamine. You refine one from 1 Diamond Ore through Arcforge (crafting level 6, 1,200 mesos). Diamond Ore drops from several mobs, some as low as Lv. 8, and the Luke the Security Guy quest can also award a Diamond. (An earlier version of this page said Diamonds drop from Zombie Lupins and Cold Drakes; the datamine lists no mob drops.)

Diamond vs Diamond Ore: two different items! Diamond Ore (WZ ID 4020007) is a crafting ore that drops from the Cursed Doll chain tier 3 - it's a smithing input. Diamond (this page, WZ ID 4020107) is the finished gem used as a trade / quest input. If a quest asks for a Diamond and your inventory has Diamond Ore, you can't substitute - they're distinct.

Free Market strategy: Diamonds trade for mid-hundreds-of-thousands of mesos traditionally economies during active quest completion phases. If you need one for a chain and don't want to grind, buying is often faster than farming.
