Hi mapler, as many of you have probably observed, prices of literally everything have skyrocketed in the last two weeks. For example, I sold 4 sets of ilbis like a month ago for 7.5m each, and boom, today people are selling them for 15m in FM (13m in basil). Also I tried to buy an attack shield since past week, and the price of those shields (scrolled one) keep changing and increasing every single day. Man, why all a sudden there is a price race? A 7str 14atk ms shield was like 300m 2 weeks ago, and now people are selling them for 600m..i was like what. So anyone know what is going on? I feel like I should just temporarily quit maple until the madness is gone.

I heard some FM guilds are rising prices, rumours or not, that's kinda what merch guilds are for, stock items, and inflate them so it wouldn't surprise me.

What causes these spikes in prices anyway? I was shocked to see GFA shoot so high.

Yeah it's the meso selling sites, they had a sudden influx of mesos and need to spend it all. Super sales, lots of people buy, and have money to buy a lot, so they're raising the prices =/ it sucks really.

I'm sure there are plenty of letigimate reasons why. Starting off with meso sites. Siince nexon won't do anythiing about it,alot of people do use them, and more money is in circulation, prices raise and things cost more. Theory B. The sprit of summer. People who play all day, wanting godly stuff to buy and use, wanting money usethe simple term. merchanting. Buy low sell high. Nobody wants to sell low, so peoplehold onto items. The high prices in fmshops outrage people, thus becoming the pennypincher! Without the well needed items to keep on circulating,prices rise in order for people to find them, causing inflation.

now you mention the meso selling sites, where they get all the meso? by hacking? by guild? IDK. BTW, these price inflation (i believe) happens pretty much in all the popular world like scania, bera, and broa for sure.
