Hey, I've looked through MANY guides on merchanting but they all say it's near impossible without a store, I have more than enough money to get NX, but I'm not allowed to; I'm not allowed to play more than 30 minutes a day let alone get NX. I have tried MTS, but I don't have anything "worthy" to sell, I've tried ores, plates, leathers, equips, drops, etc, nothing sells. So I am basically asking for some advice on merchanting without a shop, or how to get the NX, thanks Also I have about 4 Million mesos, I've been trying to merchant with 10% overall DEX, and Clean Wg's and Bathrobes, but bathrobes are REALLY the harddest to sell without a shop.

Spamming in the FM can really be a hassle, make some characters and do quests that give money

Well, I would just say go out with your family to a mall or some sort. Say you want to go check out the games at gamestop, Toys R us, etc etc go buy it say you didn't find anything stick the card in your pocket and go home. Redeem the card, and burn it and make sure no one ever finds it. This will be our dirty little secret :D

Buy bathrobes and 100% them for dex (about 380k total), then sell for 500-520 NX each. I've made a little over 7k selling those =T

@juicebox, I already have the max amount of characters @funneled, My parents wouldn't let me shop there, and if they did they would come in with me -_-, and I'm 17, they'd follow me, it's kinda creepy. @Myfisturmom, nice ign and i thought the least you could sell is for 617, because of the tax?

The guides are right. Merchanting without a store is pretty much impossible. Just get like... Three GFAs and sell them in the MTS o3o

Hm.. Im not a merchant, but when im done training, I ussually hop in the fm fr 15~ minutes, and look around fr some cheapys.. I dont have a store either, but im sure in total I made over 250m.. Just trade anyone who's selling a scroll (no def,pet,hp,bw,...) and try to get it fr cheap.. cheap means that u make 30%+ profit of it. Fr example when u buy a scroll worth 10m, but it fr 7m max.. U have to keep in mind that probably will hve to sell the scroll fr below it's price either (8-9m). U have to sell fast.. Sometimes for quite low price.. Never try to look for very high offers.. You wont get them anyways.. Just do some trades, be happy with 1-2 trades a day.. in the long run u'll see it's worth the minutes =D Ohhye, sometimes u can be very lucky =D I found cilbis for 9.999m in fm (mispriced), someone sold me 8 luk earrings for 25m,... Good luck there x) Pm me if u need to know something x)

(example) PM me/BL me if you need help because he can't help you much at all. my IGN is, ComboClash

Do all the quests which give you GFA 60% scrolls. Sell them in MTS and buy a store.
