Nexon Is Giving Away Millions Of Mesos A Day! :D

drop rate doesn't seem to affect the amount of potions dropped. i still got the same amount as u (3mil worth of pots) when i am on wolf + 70% item drop from equips and 18% item drop from inner pot.

Yeah the potion stuff seems pretty consistent regardless of drop rate increasers... buuuut, they do affect the equips that drop. Which, yeah, on the surface they look pretty lame, but you should check the potentials. I've already gotten several with some VERY nice potentials, one even with epic potentials and 6% STR (a ring). The rings are generally the best, you can only carry one at at time per mule, but you can put as many as you like in storage. Obviously if you're really high leveled they're meaningless, but they're really good equips for mules and low level players and can be sold for 1 to 5 mill each real easy with the right potentials. There aren't many rings as low as level 70 that have potentials, usually just event stuff that's often completely untradeable.

On the whole, if you're got a super powerful character you can still probably make more money in the drill halls using a bunch of drop rate increasers and just picking up meso bags from the mobs (and selling dropped equips to yourself via an Orchid android). I think I can usually rack up around 50 mill in 4 hours or so of grinding. But that requires a character that can one-shot the mobs, as well as a Kanna to increase the number of mobs... plus it's a lot more tedious/boring than killing black beans with dozens of mules.

And, again, the experience gains are REALLY nice from BB for characters under level 150, so it's a good opportunity to level up some mules, at least to 120, for their link skills.

Before I clicked this thread I had, judging by the title, highly expected it to contain a link to a phishing site (made to look like maplestory.nexon.net) from like 2008. I had this quasi-witty response in my head, something to the tune of "lol millions isn't even worth anything anymore".

My dreams have been crushed. Shattered. But at least I can log on to farm piles and piles of consumables off some wacky event.

Yeah I was trying to do a satirical spoof of that, was wondering if anyone would catch it.

This is exactly what MS needed, A crapload of mesos to futher "improve" the economy.

Well, actually... yeah, it really does. Mostly because star enhancement is a giant meso sink. I mean it used to be that you used enhancement scrolls... but not really any longer (except maybe multi-star ones). Now you use the equipment enhancement tool and dump hordes and hordes of mesos into it in order to get stars... so this event is actually pretty nice, especially for lower level players, kinda evens things out.

The only good thing the old 1 star enhancement scrolls are good for is Tyrant equips, because they cost so much money... like 50 MILLION just for the first star! Same thing with Nova equips. One thing I like to do is use my dumpy coins from easy Magnus to buy some Nova equips and then I just "waste" the old enhancement scrolls. They usually blow up after the 3rd star, but at some point I'll likely get lucky and produce something semi-worthwhile (at least until I can get a pair of Tyrant shoes and put some stars on them).
