of the same level are created equally. Different Monsters drop more Mesos
than others and also have higher percentages to drop rare items.
1. When fighting monsters just for Mesos, fight monsters that are
weaker that you do not have to constantly use potions. If you are
fighting monsters to level that is a different story, but if you are
fighting just for Mesos then the use of potions is going to cut into the
amount of money you make from killing the monsters.
3. If you are in a higher with high levels that are leveling ask them if you
can pick up their Mesos, a lot of times they will just be focused on
leveling and do not care about the drops, let them know you will not
KS them and you just need to earn a little more Mesos for a new
piece of armor. Most of the time they will not have a problem with this
and let you loot their kills.
4. Train and level in Areas where monsters drop items that are used for
quests. I use to train in the Secret Pig Beach level and Pig heads sell
for 5k a piece. So as your leveling you will receive loads of quest
items which can then be sold to other players that are looking to
complete the quest without trying to go out and fight for the quest
items.
5. Fight in Areas where monsters have high drop rates for rare items.
This will give you a good chance of a rare item dropping that can then
be sold for hundreds of thousands of mesos if not millions.
What does that mean? Well it's simple. People say that drops are all luck.
Well it’s true that it is luck on how much time it may take, but not necessary
what you'll be getting it luck. An example of this is in Perion in the hidden
boar street, I know that within 30 minutes i will probably get weighted
earrings. Granted weighted earrings are a level 20 earring drop frequently,
but simply finding where certain items drop and selling them will earn you
extra money.
My favorite spot is sleepywoods, ant tunnel 2. Drop Down and go to the far
right side. Kill there for a while and you will get a white chaos robe dropped
within the hour. White Chaos robes go for 150-500k each. Depending of
coarse on what the def, magic and all the stats are on the robe. This is an
amazing spot.
I mean haven't you ever wondered how people had 30 or the same scrolls,
or 15 armor suits that are exactly the same but stats varying a little. THIS
IS HOW.
Now, go if you got down 1 more zone in the inner core at the bottom is your
best chance of getting Mithril wands. Mithril wands are nothing special. I
don't really suggest doing this one. It's about half hour a drop. They sell
for 19k in the shops and no one really wants to buy them at the free
market.
Next, if you can go to the evil eye tunnels. Those are 1 zone after the
moving market guy.
There you will be able to score up something that's very valuable. Cutlass
is a warrior sword. They go for around 70-150 each. They are very nice. I
have had 3 drop in a half hour before. That was the only time, but i am
confident you will score a cutlass there very soon. Preferable hunt towards
the top and top middle for cutlass.
Score up some level 20 box earrings go to the very bottom of this zone.
There you will find earrings within 45 minutes. This is stupid because they
are not even that good. But you can sell these earrings for about 30k
each.
Ellina trees hold some amazing items. If you start at Ellina and go 3 zones
over and at the very farthest tree you will find another zone inside the tree.
Go inside this tree. You will find panlids every two hours in there. Panlids
very in price, if you have a good one it can sell for over 200k some go for
around 150k. It just depends on the market.
These tree tops are very good to hunt at because they are not only great to
level at but can yield very powerful items. I have also found a pair of white
work gloves here, which sell for about 30-60k each. Furthermore ellinas
zone tend to have drops, drop sooner than any other area. I really enjoy
hunting around there
Special Occasions
The most recent example of this would be the Halloween theme they just
had. This was where Halloween candies would drop and you could either
get Maldies candies or a Halloween basket. So how are you going to make
money off of this?
The thing is where you get these candies. Here's the thing anyone that
says drops are luck are full of shit. There are certain zones, areas that
drop much more frequently than others. An example of this is Ellina zone 2
on the left. This zone starts off as a straight line, but you can jump into a
tree and port up or down. This zone rocks, I was able to average 30
candies and 5-6 candles an hour.
Saving your money is key in MapleStory, again just like in Real life the only
people who become rich are the people who save their money, unless you
hit the lottery in which your broke again in less than a few years because
they don’t know how to save their money. There are many ways to save
money. The most common way people came up with is to spend less pots
while leveling. Let’s say you are a warrior and you spend about 100 white
pots per level power training. If you conserve your hp pots by resting on a
safe spot for your hp to recharge, you will spend 0 white pots and only mana
pots (if you use any special attacks). You have just saved 100 * 320 = 32k
per level on pots ONLY. For mages, this goes with mp. However, this is NOT
recommended if you want to level fast for your 2nd job advance. This is an
inefficient way of leveling. Also, the money you spend on pots will probably
break even from monster's mesos and drops.
Distributing your ap points can save you tons of mesos. For warriors and
mages, putting points into hp recov/mp recov will save you money from
buying pots. Saving points for special attacks (lucky 7, magic claw, double
arrow, power slash, etc) also will allow you to spend less pots (example: lvl
10 lucky 7 wastes 8 mp but lvl 11 wastes 11 mp and you only get a lil more
damage out of it, so save the next 10 points and put them at the end).
Another way to save money is to buy cheaper equipments. For example, a sin
with 4 subis and 2 wolbis wants to get better stars to deal more damage. He
goes and buy 4 mokbis and 2 icicles. He deals more damage after the stars
but spend more than a million mesos. Why not just stick to your subis and
wolbis? At your current level, str/int/luk/dex/matk/watk will not increase your
damage to the point you can 2 hit something that is 5 levels higher than you.
So why bother wasting money on that? Remember, don't waste money IS
saving money.
Basically the same thing with the previous one for low levels, except now you
have more money and can buy scrolls and more expensive items. Scroll for
1. Finishing this quest allows you to now do that jumping quest for ores. Ores=mesos.
If you're good at it you can get your time down to about two minutes per completion.
That's one ore a minute. This is pretty good. If you collect enough of these ores with
this method you can make ore plates which sell for 20-60k each. Maybe more or less
depending on ore, market and server you're on. So, it's not a bad quest to practice
especially at low level.
2. At the end of the quest you will receive 30 screws. Now you may be wondering how
30 screws are going to make me money. At the very, very least you can sell them for
1k each making your 30k. I have seen screws go for 5k each making your 80k. So this
quest can potentially make you 80 at level 15.
3. What I did, I did an experiment to see how much money I could farm in 2 hours, 120
minutes. I was able to do about 50 runs in 2 hours. That's 100 pieces of ore with the
potential to make a maximum of 10 refined ores. Selling them separately at the free
market ranging from 2k each to 7k each I made a grand totally of 532k not bad for 2
hours of work at level 15. That will help free up money problems for a while.
1. The reward. You will be rewarded with a refined garnet, Amethyst, Aquamarine,
Emerald, Sapphire, Topaz, or even a Diamond ore. What does this mean for you?
2. Depending on what you get you can make a ton of money. A refined diamond can
go for well over 80k. Sapphires 40-60. The rest at the very least 20k This is great
money for level 15.
First things to do are talk to Pia. Once you do that you go out of the park and then go
right on the screen. You will find there Blue Mushrooms jumping around. Kill blue
mushrooms and get there mushroom tops. At level 20 it should be cake. Next go to
Ellinia or even the first zone over on the right side of Hersey and kill the green
mushrooms and get 60 of their mushroom tops... Very Very simple quest. Probably one
of the easiest in the entire game. After you get all of the Mushrooms you need take it
back to Pia and get your Scroll.
1. ARMOR SCROLL!!!!! Amazing... Depending on which one you get you can sell it
anywhere from 99,999 mesos which is unlikely, to 2million mesos. I sold mine for 1.2
million mesos. You do not need to keep these scrolls at such a low level there is no
reason to use scrolls. Furthermore it is only a 10% scroll so your chances aren't that
great in successfully getting it off. Sell this scroll. You will make money!!!!!
Scrolls=MONEY!!!!!!!
Talk to Sabitrama and he will tell you, you have to talk to Shane. Shane is in Ellina. Go
to Ellina find Shane and talk to him. He will tell you that for I think 1000 mesos he will
take you to this place to get the flower for Sabitrama. This is another obstacle quest.
And a great quest at that. This is a pretty easy obstacle quest. Finish the obstacle
quest and get the flowers at the very top. When you get the flowers go back to
sleepwood and talk to Sabitrama. Sabitrama will give you a great item
1. You will get a full body scroll. or 10 elixirs. If you get the 10 elixirs I am really sorry
because you just got screwed, but you have a great chance of getting the scroll.
2. I was able to sell this scroll for 800k mesos. A great profit. My brother was able to
get over 1mil mesos for his. So this quest yields a lot of mesos.
3. Furthermore if you continue doing this quest you will receive a couple ores every time
and some exp every time you finish this quest which is pretty tight because it's
extremely easy.
Killer Quest as well. This quest is very easy because of what you need to get. Most of
the time the items you need you have already been hunting. In this case you will need
to kill and get wild boar teeth. You will need 100 wild boar teeth and 120 horned
mushrooms. This quest is very simple. A simple collection quest. Once you finish this
quest return it and you will receive and attack scroll
1. Every time I have done this quest I received a 60% attack scroll for mages. This is
worth a lot. Each time I did this I sold the scroll for 2million mesos. This scroll easily
goes for 2 million. Without a doubt. 2 million mesos if a great help for the upcoming
armor you’re going to need so try not to blow it to fast.
2. If you do not get that mage scroll you will probably get a spear attack scroll or
something along that line. That can be sold for about 800k so win or lose you is going
to make some decent money out of this quest. There is not reason you should not walk
away from quest with anything less thank 500k mesos
So this Lady cannot hold onto her money. She is always losing it and then wants
someone to find it. Well that someone is you. You're going back down to the subway
and buying another ticket for B-1. This obstacle quest is harder but it shouldn't take that
long. At the end of this quest return the bag of money back to her and you will get 100
elixirs.
1. Now, if you are a warrior you don't need 100 elixirs sell them for 32,000mesos. You
can go back and do this one as many times as you want like the others and get several
ores for each time you complete it.
2. If you need the elixirs keep them it will save you from spend a lot of cash.
Things you need, fresh milk, and 50 Lupin's bananas before returning the book. The
Unagi Special can be made by collecting 50 Curse Eye Tails and 5 Pig Heads and take
them to Rina, who's in front of the Henesys Park. Fresh milk can be had by giving
Rowen the Fairy a refined diamond. Once you have all of this and you done you can
give Jack Schwetty is book. Now that you have finished the quest what is so special
about this quest and why did you get to put some much money into.
1. You receive a SAUNA ROBE!!!!!!!! Overall the Sauna robe helps recover HP MP
Faster but the great thing about it is it sells for mucho mesos man.
2. Sold my robe for 2.4 million. Reason they go for so much. They're kind of like work
gloves. People like to use scrolls on them and make great Sauna robes. So sell yours
for as much as possible and enjoy the profit that you earned.
By the end of the Level 30 Quest you could very easily have over 8 million Mesos
This quest is basically a grind in which you just kill collect and kill a lot more. It's great
because you will get some amazing exp and prizes.
Start in Ellina and talk to Rowen the Fairy. She wants you to start eliminating and
bringing her back cursed dolls. Do this. For every time you do this she will give you
something new. Eventually I believe the third time she will give you what you really
want. A scroll
2. Scroll for gloves. Now if you have been playing maple story long you will know that
there is a huge obsession with work gloves. That is because you can make some
amazing gloves out of them. The scroll of gloves you will get will sell for around 800k-
2million. I had a 10% scroll and a 60% scroll of dex come out of this. Each time I made
well over a million meso's from this quest. So I have no problem believing you will too.
Also I know the quest sucks but it does serve to level your ass up. SO take advantage
of it and level. Eventually the higher the level you will become the more monsters will
drop you money wise and you will be richer than you could have ever believed.
1. Scroll of shoe speed. Now, I suggest selling this scroll. A lot of people like to use
them on snowshoes; it that's what you want to do now is a good time to do that. You
can get well over a million mesos for this scroll but because of the next coming quest
which will make you rich off your ass, I honestly don't care whether or not you want to
be faster running or not. Hopefully by now you should have a very comfortable amount
of money. I would say at the very very least 5million. Unless you let your mesos burn a
whole in your pocket.
Go talk to Jane and she will send you out with a grocery list of items she needs. You
are going to need to get them for her. special skills, the alchemist can create a whole
new item out of something totally different. She wants me to collect some materials for
her, and 1st, to make an elixir; she needs 1 pure water, 20 medicines with weird vibes,
and collect 20 frogs for Malady's Experiment. Collect them all, bring it back to her, then
there's a 50/50 chance of doing it right and make 10 Elixirs, or do it wrong and make 50.
The EXP points earned through success or failure also differs. For the 2nd quest, to
make a power elixir, she'll need 1 Mushmom's spore, 3 Bottles of Drake's Blood,100
medicines of weird vibes, and 30 malady's experimental frogs; if you get them all, you'll
be awarded with 15 Power Elixir's, 15 Mana Elixirs if failed. Lastly, to make a scroll,
she'll need 1 Moon Rock, 20 Dragon Skins, and 10 saps of ancient tree. Once those
items have been gathered up, it'll in return become the Scroll for Gloves for ATT

Above is a screenshot of some of the online forums found on
Basilmarket.com, like I said before it is a great place for reference and once
you get use to it and understand how everything operates your can start
buying and selling items on the site for free.
Merchanting is all about skill, the more you buy and sell the better you will
get at it. Just like in real life buying and selling can be a great way to make
money but you must have the skills to do so. For some it will come very
natural to and others you’ll have to work but the rewards can be great and
the sky is the limit to the amount of Mesos you can make.
You will want to setup a free market shop. You will need to sell many items
that you’ve bought and had other collect for you. It is good to get a
reputation of having good items for certain quests or rare items that people
are looking for.
The final key is staying up to date on items. You do not want to get left
behind for just like in on Wall Street prices are changing every day, it is
very important to stay up to date on these prices and keep on top of your
inventory.
Once you’ve got a considerable amount of Mesos saved up and know your
server’s market then you are ready to start hiring some workers.
Look around outside of the main cities for low level Maplers, and ask them
if they would be interested in making some money, like most low levels
they will always reply “YES”. Now pick a few items that you are familiar with
that your new employee will be able to farm, whether it be quest items or
just a random item that you know the pricing of.
Tell him to collect these items for a few days and that you’ll then buy them
off him for a nice price. Offer him 30% - 50% less than the market value for
most low level Maplers are not very informed and know the prices on most
items and will be happy to take your offer.
Add him to your friends list and in a few days when you are both on meet
up and purchase the items and then go ahead and resell it in the market for
a profit.
You want to be able to build a relationship with your works and trust. Offer
them a small bonus for collecting the items in a timely manner and let them
know how good they are doing. They will be happy to make Mesos and
you’ll be able to collect a nice profit on the flip.
Not only will you make some Mesos you’ll make some very nice friends in
the game that may become longtime friends that you can always turn to if
you need help with a quest or for anything. Once you start getting good at
hiring your own employees and having them collect items for you, try and
hire on more low levels. Soon if you keep hiring low level teens you’ll have
an entire work for that will be collecting items for you that you can turn
around and sell for a profit and you’ll start to see the money flow in.
1. Vendors License
3. Meso Magnet
4. Item Pouch
1. The first on the list is the Vendors License. What is so good about this
license? Well the thing is you can use it to sell your mad loot. I neglected
getting it and I tried selling things on my own for a long time. Well you
know what. It doesn’t work even half as well as when you are in a vendor.
Hopefully you have cable internet and can leave your computer on all day.
Cause that what I do. It works amazingly well. Like I said buyers sellers
market fluctuate during the day. So the longer you have your stand up the
greater chance you will of getting your price for the items you’re selling.
This will increase the price you get for it and guess what, there’s no
negotiating involved. it just sells the items when people buy it from you.
Secondly, are strongly encourage you to get a good spot. It does help if
you’re on the first tier of the free market. And the closers you are to the
first door the better. Also the closer you are to inside to the door the
better. If people have to go to door five to find you, they might have found
what they are looking for by door 3. So, try to find a good spot. This will
greatly help you make mesos. Even if you are only selling pigs heads that
you picked up at the hidden pig street, there’s a great chance you’ll be able
to get 7k for each head maybe even more if your closer to the 1st market
door. Also don’t be afraid to sell your items that you’re picking up. Hey i
always need pigheads and for me to go back and farm 200 of them is a
pain in the ass. Crank up the price. People will pay for it. You can do that
with anything Octopus legs, pig ribbons, tree branches, firewood, boar
teeth. As you level up in different places set some of your items off to the
side for future quest, and for your vendor. You will make great money.
3. Meso Magnet, This is my favorite for you can make loads of Mesos with
this. You want to find a very popular area where a lot of people like to hunt.
Stand on a ledge or somewhere that you cannot get hit but are close to
Mesos that are dropped once a monster is killed. If you just stand there
your Meso Magnet will then pick up Mesos that other players do not after
they have killed a monster. If you just leave your computer on and run the
game all night when you wake up you will find hundreds of thousands more
Mesos in your bag.
4. Item pouch doesn’t help a whole lot with making mesos. I added this
one because it’s cheap and will help. The more items you can have on
you, the more you can ultimately sell. It’s a great cheap item that I’m sure
Asiasoft has made some mass loot off them. So invest in one of these item
pouches and i think you won’t regret it.
