Do you consider yourself, a wealthy mapler? Rich and wealthy and different things. People that are "rich" to one person might be poor to another. Now having wealth on the other hand, is having "generation money" that can feed other characters too (if you're dying for a number lets say 1-2BIL+). It's actually not about your *current* state, cause you might be broke, but wealth is also the ability to make hundreds of millions of mesos regardless of what you have. A <quite rich> friend of ours, claims he scrolled many Maple Skanda's and lots of them came out 55ATK, so we sold each one off and now resides comfortably without having to worry. Some of us don't know or don't have the luxury (starting mesos) to do that. What were your major techniques that got you richer and richer, and eventually wealthy? What are your tips for those who aren't? How would you raise a billion mesos in a timely fashion? Serious comments please, I think a lot of inquiring minds want to know. Answers like "merchanting, scrolling, gacha'ing, etc." are basic answers, but don't really tell the whole story.

Yes, I am. For shizzle. EDIT: Mostly luck. But browsing through FM and being polite and not wearing a maple bandana and a newspaper sword helps Oh yeah, and NO BOTTING.

Not at all. I don't feel like I need to be superior than others. =] I'm content with the things I have now. Besides, the reason why people become rich is because they take advantage of the unfortunate. Not a very nice way to become wealthy , now is it?

I've been poor since my first character was made.. The most I've had is about 40mil, wich isn't alot today. Right now I've 10mil and a 8atk wg.

Pure mesos, not really. I think I have about 75m in mesos right now. Including equips, I have a fair share. Wealth is kind of relative. I've had some people tell me I'm really rich. I know some merchant buddies of mine have a LOT more than me. My money gets my pots so I'm happy.

Most I've had at One Time, is about, 250mil. But if I never bought anything, if I added up all the money it would be about 800mil+ I FM shop a lot, MTS shop. But mainly my 'secret underground business'

I've never had more than 300m (pure mesos), with equip.. I guess 400m ? I buy cheap stuff, and sell them for more at my shop (Merchanting). I make mules, take them to level 50, and do all the quests which give me good scrolls. And of course, Gachapon.

Gaching and mts are the easyst ways to make money. The most i had was .5b(500m) Spent in less then half an hour

I sold a 14atk bwg for 400mil I believe but I got it off an inexperienced guy for next to nothing. It's just luck and taking advantage of others. Nx related things though neglect some of that luck.

The most mesos i have ever had at one time was 92xmil but atm i have 13xmil... and my overall worth in items is around 1.5bil so... you decide? (and no i have never scammed anyone to achieve this)
