Hello people of Basil. I am here to tell you all how to merch like a pro. Merchanting In Maplestory is easier than you think. But before we begin to merch we have to understand what is merching. Merching is the simple task of buying items for a lower price then what it's worth and reselling them for a higher price. This is pretty much the best way to make money in Maplestory but these rules don't just apply in game only but in the real world also. Okay, now that you know what merching is let's begin the guide. Before you begin merching make sure you have 2 things. The first thing is a permit or a hired merhcant (1, 7, or 14 days). The second thing is to have stock or at least 7-10m in mesos but what do I mean by stock? What I mean by stock is you need to have something to sell right away once you get that hired merchant or permit. It can be anything worth at least over 7m to be able to buy anything in this market. Now that we have the neccesities out of the way let's get on to the main attraction. Once you have some kind of stock to sell or at least 7-10m you will need to sell the stock and wait another night or maybe the same day to begin merching however if you have the mesos then forget what I just said for now. Since we have only 7-10m at the moment let's start with simple merchanting but if you have more than this then it was still good to know anyway. Ok so now that we are all set you will need to go to the fm and start spamming B>Gfa Scrolls 7m ea@@! That was just a typical example the price always changes so don't use my price but the whole point of this was that I was buying the gfa 60% scroll for 1-2m less than what it's worth (or even more if your lucky enough). If you spam this long enough you will get a seller don't worry. Okay so I just told you that you have to buy gfa 60% scrolls for 1-2m lower than what it's worth but how do we find the price? There are 2 good ways to do this and i'm going to tell you both. The first way is to simply go on basil auctions and search up the gfa scroll and select your server. Then just simply look at the highest price for 1 of the scrolls (make sure it says 1 in the auction and not a bundle) and simply minus the price by 1-2m or more if you want and that would be the price of what you are buying it for and always remember to use Basil to keep up to date with the prices. Now that we have some stock to sell let's sell it of course. So this is where your mushy or permit comes into place. Go through the FM and find an empty spot to set up your shop. Preffered Fm rooms would be number 7-9, 13-14, 18-19 but why these rooms? The reason is because they're close to the portal that leads you up and most people just go into the first and second room near the portal. But what about rooms 1-6? The reason why I don't reccomend these rooms is because they are owned by hackers that will disconnect you for your spot and it will cause you a whole lot of trouble that you shouldn't be worrying about yet as a merchant.
