A Guide to Farming Mesos Faster in MapleStory

In the Reboot server of MapleStory, mesos are the centre of attention. These coins are essential for enhancing your equipment with star force and purchasing cubes, two crucial methods for increasing your damage output.

On the Reboot server, upgrades that typically cost NX on other servers now cost mesos. As a result, having a healthy meso farm is crucial if you want to make progress and take on the game's most challenging bosses.

This guide will give you all the information you need to start meso farming early on in the game and the late-game stages. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting, we've got you covered!

General Tips

If you want to experience the classic MapleStory gameplay, look no further than the Reboot server. With many changes and removals, mesos have become the currency of choice for cash-only items such as Red and Black cubes. Additionally, spell tracing and scrolling have been disabled, making meso farming the primary way to obtain coins.

However, it's important to note that trading with other players is impossible on the Reboot server. This means that many meso-making methods from other servers are not applicable here.

Meso Farming Buffs

One key factor in efficient meso farming on the MapleStory Reboot server is maximizing your Mesos Obtained stat. This stat can be increased through various equipment, Inner Ability, Legion Grid, and useable buffs.

Equipment with the right potential lines can give you up to +100% Mesos Obtained, while Inner Ability provides +20% and the Legion Grid adds +5%. These passive buffs and boosts allow you to reach a maximum of +125% Mesos Obtained.

But wait, there's more! Useable buffs and events can further increase your Mesos Obtained stat, helping you earn even more mesos per hour. However, there is a cap on the stat, which is set at +300% Mesos Obtained, no matter how many different sources you have.

Farming Mesos with Pets

Farming mesos without a pet is a recipe for disaster. There are simply too many meso bags waiting to be picked up! That's why the Reboot server has introduced VAC pets, also known as Petite Luna Pets, which can loot even faster than regular pets.

We cannot stress the importance of getting yourself a pet enough. Trust us, your mesos earned per hour will drop by a whopping 90% if you don't have one, depending on the number of mobs you defeat each hour. But if you upgrade to a VAC pet, you'll increase your mesos earned even more!

You have a few options when it comes to acquiring a pet. You can purchase one from the Cash Shop with NX, earn one from the formidable Hard Hilla, or find a carry. If you don't have any NX, you can sell mesos for NX on regular servers and then buy a pet from the Cash Shop.

No Dedicated Farming Class

Due to changes in the game, the Kanna class, previously the best farming class, no longer holds that title because its Kishin skill, which boosted the spawn rate of mobs, was removed.

It is suggested to use your main character on the Reboot server for meso farming for optimal results rather than creating a new dedicated farming class. Classes like the Shadower with marks (projectiles that attack enemies on the map) are among the best options if you make a dedicated farming class. However, the gap between the farming capabilities of different classes is much smaller now than when Kanna had Kishin.

Having a high-level character is key to achieving the best meso farming results. The higher your level, the better, as it allows you to defeat mobs in one shot.

The battle analysis tool in the game is a helpful way to monitor and improve your meso farming. With it, you can experiment with different farming setups, maps, etc., until you find the combination that earns you the most mesos per hour.

How to Get Mesos Obtained

Maximizing the number of mesos you can farm per hour requires boosting your Mesos Obtained stat. This can be done through passive boosts from equipment, the Legion Grid, and Inner Ability. Equipment is the most important source for boosting this stat and can offer up to +100% Mesos Obtained. 

To get the biggest boost, you should look for Pendants, Rings, Earrings, Face accessories, and Eye accessories that have a potential for +% Mesos Obtained. Some of the best equipment options in this category include Gollux Rings, Sweetwater Tattoo, and Sweetwater Glasses.

You can also increase your Mesos Obtained stat by using active-use buffs. The most popular ways to do this are through Legion Wealth Buffs, Wealth Acquisition Potions, and event-specific buffs. These will temporarily boost your Mesos Obtained and significantly increase your meso farming speed.

Bossing and Ursus

Bossing and Ursus offer another way to earn mesos in the game. Daily and weekly bosses are available; defeating them can provide many mesos. Also, bosses drop valuable items such as equipment, potions, Intense Power Crystals, etc.

For players who can solo most daily bosses, it is possible to earn 100-200 million mesos daily. The equipment obtained from bosses can be extracted and sold, and the items, such as philosopher's stones, are also valuable. The Intense Power Crystals must be sold at the Collector in the Free Market, while the rest of the items can be sold to any vendor in the game.

Maps to Farm Mesos

The best location to farm mesos on the Reboot server in Maplestory is in the Arcane River using your high-level main character. You should aim at least level 200, with level 230+ being the optimal range to farm in the Arcane River. The best maps for farming mesos in the Arcane River are Last Horizon 6 in Moonbridge and Labyrinth of Suffering Core 6 in Tenebris. To maximize your mesos per hour, it's essential to have as many meso-boosting traits as possible while farming in the Arcane River.

Conclusion

There are several alternative methods for farming mesos in Maplestory Reboot. Maple Tour, while nerfed, is still a great way to earn extra mesos. Crusader Coins can be earned from bossing and spent on meso bags in the Silent Crusade shop. 

We hope our guide has provided you with a comprehensive overview of meso farming methods to help you maximize your earnings. An alternative to this guide would be to get yourself a Nexon Game Card, previously known as Karma Koin from OffGamers here.
