| Smartguy�s Six-Step Process to Becoming a Merchant This guide was posted in the GMS section because this method won�t work in MapleSEA and EuropeMS for a variety of reasons. I decided to write this guide when I realized something: People really hate reading guides. I sure know I do. When I see a really, really, really long guide on Basilmarket, I�m like... �damn.� Often, it�s so long that many people don�t even bother reading it. I also realized that a lot of my guides are really, really, really long. And I was like...� damn.� I also noticed that many people were ignoring Bunnie�s Merchanting Guide, which is stickied in the General MS section, because they couldn�t get merchanting to work for them. Bunnie�s guide does a very good job of explaining how to make money as a merchant, but it doesn�t explain how to actually become a merchant, which requires a lot of money and experience. This is why I decided to write my third meso-making guide. Except this time, I�m making it extra simple. In fact, it�s so simple that you only have to read the bolded parts (including headers) . If you decide to only read the bolded parts, some guesswork will be involved while performing a lot of the steps in this guide. P.S. Prices described vary from world to world. Feel free to experiment with prices. Table of Contents If you don�t even want to read the bolded parts of my guide, the table of contents here pretty much outlines the entire process, except without the details. Step 1: Get some money to start with -Do the quest �Subani�s Legacy� -Kill monsters that drop a lot of mesos and valuable etc. items Step 2: Get a store -Open the store in FM 4-9 -Sell items for 10-50% higher than Basilmarket price Step 3: Make money by selling stuff from NPCs -Make and sell WGs -Buy and sell bathrobes Step 4: Learn the prices of items Step 5: Buy and sell stuff from other players -Buy from stores in the FM -Buy from people selling in the FM entrance Step 6: Congrats, you�re a merchant So you don�t like this method? Too bad. Useful Links Step 1: Get some money to start with It�s undeniable that you need money to make money . No merchant literally started merchanting from zero mesos; they always had at least a couple hundred thousand mesos to begin with. I personally recommend you have at least 1 million mesos and a store (we�ll discuss that in Step 2) before you should try to merchant. How to get that money: Do the quest Subani�s Legacy . It�s probably the easiest quest in Maplestory that gives a good reward EVERY single time. This quest will get you an easy couple million mesos on Basilmarket, depending on the price of Glove for Attack scrolls in your server. That�s enough to skip the next part of this step, if you want. If not, then: Kill monsters that drop a lot of mesos and valuable etc. items. My recommendations: • Leprechauns- They�re located in the Phantom Forest, spawning as meso bags. Leprechauns have no magic attack, so they should be easy to kill for anyone above level |
