Hello all,
This is "The financial post #1", a guide for making mesos, without scamming, hacking, or doing anything illegal. This may be obvius for some of you, but this is made for players who don't know how to make mesos, not the ones that do know :P
I will try to right this in few posts, by categorys.
Any comments/questions gladly accepted.

This post will be talking about basic ways to make money.

First of all, becoming rich doesn't happen in one night, and there is no "magic word" that makes mesos. It takes time, and some patience is required too.

Collecting
To start of, one of the importent things you got to do to make mesos (especially in the low levels, when there are less quests and rare/worthy drops), is to collect mesos and items. Even if a snail drops "only" 10 mesos and a "green snail shell", do collect them. It may take abit of your time, but if you'll collect them again and again, it will worth it in the end.

Equipment
Each five levels, you get new clothings and weapons. This means that each five levels, you waste lots of money buying clothings and weapons. So, you should try buying it for cheaper. Go around busy areas (e.g. Henesys) and say "B> [insert item name here]". If someone has the item, offer them about 3/4 of the full price; That will be a better price for you, instead of buying in shop for full price, and it will be also a great price for the seller, that if he won't sell it to someone, he will have to sell it to the shop, for 1/2 price.
Also when you stop equipping a cloth/weapon, try selling it to people instead of NPCing it.
Another option is skipping weapons/clothings. If you see the diffrence in the Item's stat amount is minor, for example 2def diffrence, just skip that item.

Taxi
Using taxi may be very convenient, but it isn't necessary. Walking around all Victoria island, doesn't take more then 15-25 minutes.
Another option is buying Town Return Scrolls. They cost half of the taxi's price, and do the same job.

Yup your right, But this guide is (mostly) for begginers, therefore I talked about low level clothings only:

Thanks all,
I'll write the next guide about Scams and how to prevent them. Savage, should I just make it (the next guide) in the same post, or in a different one?

Who knew that quests could be hunted, xD. Well, since the person that previously owned this account, did all the good scroll quests, I had nothing really to do. I can't really remember what helped me get so much money in such a little time. Maybe merchanting...

It's sad people hack other people and can't get they're own mesos, after all it isn't SO hard...

This is why, you never tell anyone you account info, including your maple gf/bf, whom most of the maplers that have one, don't even know their partner IRL, and probably most of the guys and girls that say their really a guy or girl, are probably the opposite sex, just looking for your items. They don't want the commitment, they just want to fool you, and show you what a fool you were into thinking that you could find love from a 2inch pixilated character in an online game.

I like the guide though i thought it was going to be much longer than it actually was.

But's its good cause you can just read a short passage and understand a lot already.
