Making mesos Guide General
(Becoming rich doesn't happen over night. It requires time and patience, unless you get super lucky here and there which will happen from time to time depending how much you consider alot.Be a cheapskate like me (got it from my dad)When being really cheap there are some factors that come from this. A very important factor is that you shouldn't be so easily willing to let go of mesos so often. If all you do is spend over and over, your pocket might feel a little empty. If you find something in the free market that you need don't buy it right away. Chances are that if you keep looking you find some more of the same thing for a lower price. This way insures you bought it for as cheap as possible. Greed, people say don't be to greedy but that means sharing something and not hogging it for yourself. Sometimes greed can be good. When your friends need to borrow money don't loan anything to them unless you know them in real life. Giving stuff for free causes no profit. And for paying back, just like in the real world when people borrow money from a bank they can't pay you back ever, or they will purposely avoid it. Keep thinking of that, and the fear of that loss will make you greedy if you aren't yet.I didnt even use the cabs until like level 50, I walkedTravel requires money. When you begin Maplestory you won't have that much money, and that little bit can make a difference wether you spend it on using a few cabs, or buying potions, or even your first equpiment items. Not using a cab gave me a good start on Maplestory until I felt that now is the time I can afford it without drawbacks.Quests, quests, and more quests, especailly ones that get you scrolls and icarus cape, etc...Wether you buy quest materials or not, you will got quite the sum mesos out of scrolls you get from quests. Nothing much to say, but make sure you know the reward first so you know what is worth your time, and what is not. Also by looking at the rewards first you can decided to A) buy items needed for it, or B) find the items needed for it. Some items needed will be hard to find and time consuming such as nependeath honey, glass shoes, flaming feathers, and more.Get rare dropsNothing to it but luck. If you get lucky you can sell drops. Some people even figure out what monsters drop what to go hunting for specific items.Potion usingEven though I'm a 76 Priest I still use mana elixers (heals 300 mp) and not anything higher. The reason for this is, the amount of cost for pots and how much they heal. The higher level potion the more the price gets booted up. For example, lets use blue potions to mana elixers.Blue potions heals 100 mp. Mana elixers heal 300 mp. Blue potions also cost 192 mesos, while mana elixers cost 604 mesos. lets get Blue potion up to 300 mp just like one mana elixers so, 3 blue potions to every mana eleixer. 192 x 3 = 576 vs 604 would you rather hit the pot key 3 times and save 28 meos each time? or hit it once and lose 28 mesos each time?Buy low sell higherYes, that's right, you read it correctly, sell higher, not high. If you sell too high, people will just leave you for another. Here was something that I did to show as an example. With about 20-30 Dark Crystal ores I did this. When freemarket permits came out DC ores have dropped from 100k each to 35k each. I bought around 25 for 35k each in the hope that it will boost up again at one one point. Then omega sector had came out with a quest that requires these =]. The price boosted up again and I managed to sell some back for 70k, others for 72k, and some for even 85k! My reason for that range was because I had noticed people selling them for 99k again like old times. But those will be the ones to be bought the least amount of times and when the cheaper ones go out of stock. (This is called undersaling)Sell stuff that is commonly needed and not supplied alotFor example "Alice's moon rocks and star rocks shop". I've seen her shop quote a few times. She sells exactly what her title is. She is one person who even goes around selling these. People are too lazy to collect the ores. So she does and sells it for more than it should be cause of supply and demand. If people need something that is very rare to find, yet commonly needed too, this is where prices sky rocket. You don't have to do it with moon rocks and star rocks, no. Be more original, originality is what made Alice what she is today, so think of something diffrent. If it's the same the price will lower for the both of you, meaning for you as well.Money drops get higher, the higher level you are.Monsters drop a certain range of mesos each time. but they higher level you are means, higher monsters, which means higher mesos at a time. When training pick up mesos as much as possible, don't just leave it laying around, that's a waste.Try your luck at scrollingWork gloves, Lama staffs, Claws, 60% weapon attack scrolls, sauna robes, dark rituals, evil wings, and etc... these all have one thing in common, they probably the most scrolled equipment ever and sold back for millions. lets say you start off with a clean work glove that has 5 slots. You only have 10 million mesos on you, so you buy 5 60% glove attack scrolls for 2 million each. your'e down to 0 mesos for now. You try scrolling the work glove and lets say 4/5 worked on it. That's an 8 attack work glove! Try auctioning it off and start at 13-14 mill or so and maybe people will up the price until eventually someone buys it for 18 mil. You now have 18 mil that's an 8 mill net profit (that you made).Note: But scrolling does require alot of money in the beggining like that example, possibly even alot more at times.Warning: this isn't a for sure fire thing, you will end up failing for time to time and successing from time to time as well. what is only 1/5 scrolls worked to its only 2 attack. You coul probably sell that for 1.5-2 mil. and you spent 10 mil on that you lost 8 mill this time. BEWARE! BeggingThis won't get you ANYWHERE even if people give you 1k each time you can make faster mesos by picking up money from monsters while training (well for me) and plus only like what 1 of 1000 will give you anything at that?Clerics dont need HP potsIf you are hesitant about using up potions, then make a cleric. I didn't want to waste money on pots, so I just stood/sat and waited to heal. That is a waste of time, and time is money. So I made a cleric, I won't have to wait to heal HP and I don't have to waste time. Then I got MP eater, and I spend less pots than normal ofr MP, MP eater is a HUGE mana potion saver. But you will still need some MP pots from time to time. (especailly if you have maxed teleport or not).Master chronosHas REALLY HIGH elixer drop rates which go for 5k each, and you could probably find one every 5 minutes literally. If you know a monster than can drop something like that, that often, ans sells for that high, train there too. I feel master chronos are the best that I know of.What if you like to scroll your weapons?If you like to scroll your weapon alot dont be a mage unless you are a cleric (money makers), cause INT scrolls are X(. Instead be a crossbowman or 2 hand axe, or something else that is really low priced for 60% att'sSave dont spend (really good)This is also probably one of thee best things to do. If you save your money it is just as good as earning it. Benjamin Franklin - "A penny saved is a penny earned". This will help more than you think. If you do spend spend your money alot constantly try this method; Put money in the bank and carry only a few mesos with you, saving in the bank will help those spenders. Or greedyness once again prevails.FM shop permits are teh pwnzorzJust sell everything you have in here. I suggest you do this during school/sleep/work/erran running, that way you can still make money and do something while, doing another thing.Looter methodNote: Cleric recommended, so you won't burn pots, but you can do this with othersGo to coolies, find a sin that is power leveling, take of your weapon and assure him you wont att cause weapon not equip and you are only looting, since he isnt picking up, he'll probably figure its ok and you can act as a decoy party member to help scare people off. This can work at other places where people commonly power level too, such as zombie lupins, hunting grounds 1 if you're a just starting noob, fire/boars, jr. yetis, hectors, and many more...Miss Lady JaneWarning: may backfire!Note: Old trickGive materials to a noob to do janes quest and tell them whatever you get ill buy it for 100k. But the thing is, they might know what youre doing so take the stuff and wont sell it to you, or you can hang out around there and tell them youll buy whatever they get for 100k, that'll require ccing alot maybe.Jane's AssistantMake a character JUST to do janes quest(s). And restart the character over and over. This only works if you are noob in a need of some million mesos, as you get higher level on your main character you'll make more money by just straining that character and getting drops.Tower scrollsNote: This is very well known already.Kill stuff in what ever tower, wether eos tower or orbis tower, to get matterials for the scrolls quest. Do this on youre strongest character, and collect ALOT. Then make ALOT of accounts and 3 characters for that server and give it to them to do the exchange for tower scrolls. Then sell them all.
