Hi, so I have 300 mil on my character and I'd like to increase that amount. So far, I've obtained money by mainly selling event items, I got a large chunk of this money from the Witch Belt event. Seeing as how there isn't a very profitable event right now (Yes I know there's the anniversary event, but Maple leaf prices are like 100 mesos each and I have terrible luck with scrolling), I need to know how to merchant with my current money. I have no real experience with regular merchanting since all I've done are events. What items are most profiteable to merch? How do you sell those items after? Do you have to use a shop? What if you get d/ced?

Buy an 1800nx store permit, buy 2 10att u/h wgs for 100-105m, and sell them for 115-120m. Repeat until you can buy 3-4 at a time. Then when you get to 400m, for 11att wgs and do the same thing.

Buy 8-10 att workgloves for 10mill to 5mill less than what they actually cost, than resell them for more mesos.

Just what Pizzaguy said. You'll get plenty of money buying 10 att u/h wgs and selling them for 10-15mil higher than what you bought them for

GFAs and 8-10 att wgs are the easiest to merch. You buy for about 10-15% lower than usual, usually by long term spam in the FM entrance. You then sell them for 10-15% higher, since if no one buys it, you sell it at normal price, no harm to me yet. A shop dramatically increases your time and efficiency of merching, as you don't have to spam all day long and hope a noob will come by and see your "great" offer. I personally recommend a hired merchant if you're going to be merching a lot. If you get dced, no biggie, screw those d-bags. Just find another comfortable position. I usually just sell by spamming for about 5 minutes and check if there's any open spots or selling spots. If there's none, I repeat.

with 300m don't do scrolls unless they're worth at least 5m, returns are too low otherwise (in terms of time spent selling). i prefer to merch purp equips but mainly 10 att wg/chaos are gud

With 1b, you could start the fun, risky scrolling adventure, spam, or you could merch by going in and out of shops endlessly :P Thats what I did when I had 1b. Pretty annoying if you don't have a mobility move.

Thanks for all the replies guys. So it seems the most popular way to merch with the current money I have is 10 ATK wgs. I guess I'll try doing that. What's a good spot to set up a shop in the FM where there's a good chance of people seeing my shop, but also not a high chance of getting d/ced?

I like FM 3-6, if its a good time to be on. If there's a lot of dc'ers, I got to second or third row.
