So guise, I recently came back to MS. I'm on my Cleric for now, CPQing with friends which is pretty fun, but I want to get back on my Sniper. Problem is, I gave away my most expensive item to my friend; my Raven. It would cost me several hundred mil to get that back...and being a damage whore, I'm shooting for a higher attack one. SO. Besides APQ (and I have 2 APQ mules ready), what are some ways for me to rack up some money? I found a Chaos Scroll, so that covers maybe 80m plus the 7m I already have. I also want to upgrade my cape since there are ones higher than 4 ATT now. So...to be specific, what's the best way for me to make around 700-800m (in a short amount of time?), acknowledging that I will APQ probably 4 times a day or more? If you're going to say merchant, I don't have a shop atm, so I can't really do that without spending time on MTS. If you're gonna say merchant...well be specific. Don't say invest in diamonds, cause lol. And I won't buy NX; I can use MTS though.
I feel like a snob. XD
EDIT:
What I have now:
- 7.7m
- a Chaos Scroll
- 13 ATT SCG (planning on trading it off for a WWG, so I get some money)
- 11 DEX earrings (given to my friend)
- 3/25 Green Linnex (friend)
- 3/4 STR Cape (planning on selling)
- 2 APQ mules

Thanks. I assume they drop scrolls? Also, one more question. If I were to merchant, would it be better to do so in FM or MTS?

like he said, but first use the MTS to get your self either a 10 day or 30 day 2x drop card. THEN, get yourself a ton of family points and use the drop rate boosters. That should get you a lot of good scrolls. Btw, Homunculus drops some good stuffs :3 You could've also gone for cube slimes since they drop crudloads of good stuff especially with the anniversary. But the anniversary's about to end so yeah...

Family 2x drop doesn't seem to work, so yeah.... using rep for increasing drop rates is a trap.

It's anniversary. Maple items sell for quite a lot, or if you have a crap load of Maple Leaves, just sell 'em all. You could also spend some NX on a 2x drop card and go area bossing. Bosses like Chimera and Snowman drop pretty awesome scrolls, you could probably get 2/3 scrolls within a run of 20 channels without 2x. That's around 5m or 10m already.

It's possible to get 2/3 scrolls. I killed about 200 Kimeras in total a few weeks ago and made about 30m. However, ALastReprise killed them regularly for a week and got like 7 overall 60% scrolls and a Hwabi. It's all about luck, really.
Also, remember that you're not the only one going to area bosses to earn money. Other people will be looking to cut in as well. The best thing to do is to go when nobody's really around, and then control the spawn. Kill in an unorthodox pattern of channels so the spawn is hard to follow. Maybe that's just Scania, but who knows.

Thanks for all the help guise. I used to hunt Snowman for money way back when, didn't really turn up; I was probably just impatient lol.
Also one more thing. I haven't done any of my Magatia quests, and my Cleric's quest list is pretty much undone. Is there anything on there that could help me?

Well there's Jane the Alchemist, which gives a chance of 60% gloves scrolls. There's the Alligators at the Swamp which gives any 60% cape scroll. I'd do some of the 80+ Victoria quests. I think I got two 30% overall INTs from them in total.
And you need to do some quests to be able to get to Chimera. I'm not sure which.

Well, whatever works. I hear Magatia has a good quest storyline anyway. Side note: Was that you I saw afking at Sleepy Dungeon II yesterday during 2x? Hermit or Sin, didn't check, IGN was Kabanaaw.

Wait a sec, are you talking about Snowman or Chimera here?
EDIT: Oh, nvm. Found my answer, the sentence before the bolded one. Don't reply to this post. Sorry!

If you have homies who look for BMM occasionally, and you all know what the purpose of the BMM quest* is, I suggest you do a lookout for BMM occasionally and hope you get lucky =P
*60% chance of giving you a random 60% scroll, not including "gach" variants. This includes INT overall 60%, DEX cape 60%, ATK glove 60%, and more.

Yeah, I was planning on training my bandit but my band practice didn't end until about 6. I almost got HiaS'd.

If possible, guild quest. o-o
I seem to get good scrolls fairly often, and there's a chance of black sack and assassinate 30.
