Gain and Save Money Guide in Maplestory

Want to become rich in Maplestory? At first, you should learn how to gain and save money in Maplestory. The below are some guides i collect from other site. They are divided into two parts: one is for low leves and other one is for high levels. Enjoy:

Making for Low Levels (lvl 30 or below)

How to save money
There are many ways to save money. The most common way people came up with is to spend less pots while leveling. Lets 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 somthing that is 5 levels higher than you. So why bother wasting money on that? Remember, don't waste money IS saving money.

How to gain money
Gaining money could be fun and enjoyable. There are three ways to gain money: getting drops, doing quests, and buying/trading items.

Getting drops: Dropping rate is random. There are no tricks to this. This is based on your luck. If you are lucky, you get more drops. If you are unlucky...too bad for you. I can do nothing about it. If you get less drops than others, don't complain or whine. You are simply unlucky. Besides, getting drops is not the only way to make money. However, you can get better drops than others from different types of monsters that will improve your mesos gain per drop.

Doing Quests: Quests are fun to do (for some people at least). I love doing quests. It is fun and you get good mesos/items out of it. Here are some quests that give you decent mesos/items/exp.

Shumi's Lost Bundle of Money

Buying/Trading Items: A very important skill that everyone should learn. This could make you as rich as a lvl 70 person if you do it right. First you buy an item that is cheap, then you sell it for high! It is that easy! But this will waste most of your time gathering information on the average price of items, sellers, and buyers. This is not highly recommended if you are still at a low level (due to low amount of mesos).

Leveling areas that will make you rich
From level 10-20 level at slimes, or pigs if you are in the late 20s
From level 20-30 level at bubblings, octopus, green mushrooms, horn mushrooms, tricksters, brown teddy, drum bunny.

Hunting for Low Levels (lvl 30 or below)

How to hunt efficiently
Always, I mean always, hunt monsters that are no more than 3 levels above your level (for below lvl 30 people). Why? First, your accuracy sucks. Most of the you will be missing against high level monsters. Second, your damage sucks. Last, you will not make that much more mesos out of hunting than training, so why bother? You can hunt with a party of 2 or 3, but that is very uncommon. Infact, I rarely see ANY lvl 30 or below people hunting at...lets say evil eyes. They will lose tons of money and the drops aren't that great. For people who want to hunt at higher monsters like fireboars or curse eyes, YOU WILL GET RAPED. DON'T GO THERE YOU WILL WASTE TONS OF POTS, EXP, AND TIME.

Places to hunt
For level 10-20 hunt at pigs (around 10-13), octopus (around 13-17), bubblings and green mushrooms (around 17-20).
For level 20-30 hunt at dark axed stumps and undead mushrooms (around 20-23), wild boars and evil eyes (around 23-27), brown teddy, tricksters and drum bunny (around 27-30).

Pros/Cons
Pros: More mesos, better drops (if you get lucky)
Cons: VERY slow leveling, low damage, terrible accuracy, waste of money, a high chance of dying.

My recommendation
My recommendation is to get to lvl 30 as fast as possible before even think of hunting. Low level people shouldn't hunt due to their terrible accuracy and damage. Most people would like to get to 2nd job as fast as they can. Until then hunting is very boring and ineffecient.

Mesos Making for High Levels (lvl 30 or above)

How to save 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 weapon could cost up to 800k and scroll for armor could cost up to 4 mil! Scrolling items can be highly rewarded but also devastating. A lucky person might get a 10% glove atk on his/her first try and perfect scroll the rest of the slots with 60%s. An unlucky person might end up with only 1 or 2 60%s to work. The cost for a 60% glove atk is at least 2 mil, 2 * 5 = 10 mil. If only 1 or 2 worked, the price of the glove will go down to as low as 1 mil for the 2 atk and 3 mil for the 4 atk. That is a HUGE lost of money and it might happen to anyone. Yes that means you too. I had an experience when I wanted to get a 10% glove for dex to work on a clean wg, so i purchased 32 10% glove dex and made 32 wg (around 3.5 mil). None of the scrolls worked. Don't try your luck with scrolls UNLESS you are rich enough to buy all your weapons/equipments and your scrolls and still have leftovers for another set of equipements and pots. Rather than trying your luck, you can always buy a prescrolled weapon/armor. People tend to sell them for more than the total cost of the equipement and scrolls (if it is decent scrolled) because they got the scrolls to work. Save up your money and buy a GOOD prescrolled armor/weapon that will last you for at least 5 levels. This way you can level up faster and be able to actually sell your item due to high demands for prescrolled items.

How to gain money
Now you are past the first job you should have no problem getting money to afford pots. However, if you want decent weapons and equipments you better know how to gain money or else it will take you ages to get your dream weapon and equipment. Ways of gaining money I've already mentioned in my previous paragraphs are buy/sell, scrolling, quests, and getting drops. All the above 30 quests are mostly profeitable. Trading is a bit different from below level 30. Now you have enough money to invest on better items such as scrolled weapons/equipments, scrolls, ores, and quest items.
If you don't gain money, don't give up. My opinion, level 30-40 is the HARDEST and MOST BORING period of levels. You will depend on drops from evil eyes, boars, fire boars, jr kitties, and curse eyes (exluding the ludi monsters because I do not know their level of efficiency of training) and they drop barely any good equipments that will make you rich. From level 40 to 50, training might still get dull, but the drops aren't as bad. Now, from level 50 to 60 you will notice that you will gain a HUGE amount of money from drops. From level 30-40 I barely made a million, level 40-50 around 3 million, level 50-60 30 million. My point is if you think you are not getting rich from level 30-50, bare the hardships, because after that period you will find your wallet overflooded with mesos.

Leveling areas that will make you rich
From level 30-40 level at brown teddy, drum bunny, fire boars, jr kitties, dark letties, lorangs, latz, pink teddy, Roloduck, Tick, Panda Teddy, Chronos
From level 40-50 level at fire boars, copper drakes, jr pepes, lunar pixies, chronos, zombie lupins, tick tock, Platoon Chronos, Tobo
From level 50-60 level at drakes, clang, umti, wraiths, jr yeti, kitties, hectors, lunar pixies, Platoon Chronos, Master Chronos, Tobo, Master Robo
From level 60-70 level at cargos, tauromacis, dark stone gollems, yetis, white pangs, Soul Teddy, Master Soul Teddy, Buffy, Lazy Buffy
From level 70+ level at...anywhere you want (except for bains, thantos, gatekeeper, Papulatus until 80/90 ish)

Hunting for High Levels (lvl 30 or above)

How to hunt efficiently
Hunt monsters that you can kill within 5 hits that usually have low kb or speed from level 30-60. 70+ you can hunt any monsters you want as long as you don't get killed within 3 hits. Party would be REALLy helpful for hunts. Always have a cleric or an assasin in your party, or both in a big hunt.

Places to hunt
Some places to hunt for level 60 or below are yetis, dark yetis, cargos, tauromacis, taurospears, werewovles, Soul Teddy, Master Soul Teddy, Buffy, Lazy Buffy, Klock, Lucidias, Cerebes
Places to hunt for level 60+ are tauromacis, yetis, dark yetis, Lucidias, Cerebes, ynp, dark ynp, werewolves, lycanthropes, jr rog, c rog, Buffoon, dark klock, deep buffroon, bains, Ghost Pirate, death teddy, master death teddy, dual ghost pirate, Spirit Viking, Phantom Watch, Grim Phantom Watch, Gigantic Spirit Viking, Thantos, Gatekeeper

Pros/Cons
Pros: way better drops than regular training, fun, more mesos per monster
Cons: wastes time, spends more money on pots than regular training, chance of dying

Obtained Mesos In MapleStory

Here are some Mesos level guides in MapleStory that I got from other website, and hope you like it.

a. Do Winston's Fossil Dig-up quest. The 30K mesos obtained are a considerable amount for the level 21.

b. Do the quest Alex the Runaway Kid. The level 25/30 earrings obtained saves you from buying earrings at that level.


c. Do the quest Fairy's Horn Flute at levels 30-40, as it will give Blue Moon Earrings. This will save you from buying earrings at level 40.

d. Do the quests "To the New World", "Jane the Alchemist" and "Peace at Eos Tower" at level 40. These quests will give good rewards, boosting your mesos by a large sum. All 3 quests can give a 60% Scroll for Gloves for ATT, which sells for 7-12 million mesos


e. Do the quest Terminating the Dark Force, which is the final sequel to the quest The Ore of Dark Crystal. Although the dark crystal ores might be pricey, they are worth the overall scrolls.

f. Do Party Quests. Especially for Ludibrium Party Quest, because you may recieve great prizes, such as Capes, Earrings and Scrolls.

g. Do keep your solid horns or foxtails or anything that can be used for the exhange quest. people will buy them at a higher price as compared to the NPC.

h. Do keep your money in the bank to refrain from buying unnecessary things.

i. Do not beg for mesos, it gives people the impression that you are a poor MapleStory player. Some players will get very annoyed when asked for mesos and you might get a defame instead.

j. Do not sell your ores to NPCs. Instead find someone on the free market and sell it. 100/150 mesos for an ore isn't worth it. Neither should you sell those 1-meso items, chances are, they are worth decent amounts in the market.

k. Do not do the Showa Exchange Quest, as the pay rates are not worth it at all.

Magician Guide of Maplestory

There are four characters you can choose in Maplestory: Warrior, Magician, Bowman and Thief. This time we will introduce Magician guide. Read the information below, i think they are useful.

Beginner stat point

The Mage's main stat is INT. This stat increases magic damage and defense. It also increases the amount of MP you will get per level up. You’ll be spending most of your stat points in here. LUK is the secondary stat. It raises availability and decreases the amount of EXP you lose when you die.
It doesn’t matter what your INT and LUK are as long as you rolled at least STR and DEX as fives or lower. If you didn't get the stats you want click the little red dice next to your character at character creation. Now how to spend your stat points during levels is easy enough to understand. First you need to see that your LUK is 13 at level 10. Don’t make it 13 any time before or after Level 10. Then you can spend all your stat points in LUK but other wise they all go into INT. This will allow you to wear most equipment (maybe not all on the level requirements) and since INT gives more MP, your MP levels will be quite high after a few levels. If you are feeling you are taking to much damage or just don’t like your armor go ahead and spend some stat points into LUK on levels other than 15,20,etc (not recommenced)

Leveling Tips

LVL 1-8: Here you should still be on Maple Island the first island. Stay in the first few areas of the island and fight green and blue snails. Once you're at lvl 8 move on to Victoria Island by taking the Victoria form South Perry.

LVL 8-13: Start fighting in the training area one screen west of Heresy’s is the bowman town. You want to stay on the bottom floor of the area and fight the snails you see. Use your Energy Bolt as often as possible and when MP runs out stand on the key on both side of the screen and recover.

LVL 13-18: Time to move up a floor in the training area. This floor is covered with Green Slimes. These will do about 6 damages to you if you haven’t bought all the armor. These give 10 EXP a pop so things go buy pretty quickly.

LVL 18-20: Either stay on the slime Floor for a level or two more or move up to the Orange shroom floor. The orange shroom will give 15 EXP per kill but you will have to take about 3 shots to kill them which by now aren’t a whole lot of MP but takes a while
LVL 21-30: To the Horny Mushroom tree. These guys will give you over .10% for the next few levels. Fight these guys all the way up to level 30

LVL 25-31: Do the PQ if you want too. Mages are the most useful character in the PQ and will be accepted into parties easier. If you don't feel like waiting for the PQ then just go level on Horny Mushrooms.

LVL 31-40: Either level on boars or fire boars there are a bunch of spots near Perion like the burning zone or the land of wild boars.
