This page explains where Vesos really come from at each stage of the game, using the game's own coin and drop tables. For the rules behind the numbers see Vesos and Selling and Buying Rules.

i

All monster figures below are averages at the normal drop rate, worked out from the game's drop tables and the NPC sell prices. A short session can be far above or far below them, especially from rare drops.

Money that needs no fighting

Do these every day, whatever your level. Together they are worth around 60,000 Vesos a day.

Activity	Reward	Requirement	Resets
Watch a Maple TV broadcast	5,000 per broadcast, up to 10 a day: 50,000	None	00:00 UTC; at least a minute between two broadcasts
Daily Check-In	1,000 on day 1, rising to 50,000 on day 28; 279,500 over a full cycle, plus potions and White Scrolls	Level 10	23 hours; breaks if you miss 48 hours

Levels 1 to 20: coins and the first quests

Coins are at full value up to level 15 and are still 43% at level 20. A typical monster drops a coin pile on about 4 kills in 10:

Monster	Level	Coin pile on a hit	Average per kill
Snail	1	4 to 5	about 2
Pig	7	14 to 20	about 7
Orange Mushroom	8	16 to 23	about 8
Green Mushroom	15	28 to 41	about 14
Blue Mushroom	20	16 to 23 (36 to 53 before the level curve)	about 8

At these levels the best use of your time is simply levelling: higher monsters pay larger piles until level 15. Pick up everything you can sell; the common drops of many monsters, such as Green Mushroom Caps (6 Vesos) or Blue Mushroom Caps (7), are worth a few Vesos each at the shop.

Levels 21 to 100: selling what monsters drop

Past level 20 the coin pile shrinks fast (8% of the original from level 30), so an ordinary monster adds only a few Vesos per kill in coins. The income moves to what the monsters carry. Averaged over every ordinary field monster in the level band:

Monster level	Coins per kill	Common drops per kill (20% chance or more)	All other drops per kill (potions, ores, scrolls, equipment)
21 to 30	7	7	about 100
31 to 40	4	10	about 270
41 to 50	7	14	about 400
51 to 70	11	19	about 580
71 to 100	17	36	about 950

The last column is mostly equipment dropped at a fraction of a percent, sold to an NPC shop at 60% of its listed price, so it arrives in big lumps. Some examples from real drop tables:

Throwing stars and bullets are rarer on low-level monsters: any monster below level 50 drops them at 0.3 times their usual chance. A Snail's Subi Throwing-Stars, for example, drop on 0.9% of kills instead of 3%. They sell for little anyway (a full stack of Subi Throwing-Stars fetches 407 Vesos, a full stack of Bullets 500), so this hardly changes what a low-level hunt earns.

★

Different from the original game Throwing stars and bullets drop at 0.3 times their usual chance from monsters below level 50.

Monster	Drop	Chance	Shop pays
Wild Boar (level 25)	Lionheart	0.07%	84,000
Cold Eye (level 40)	Maple Doom Singer	0.07%	60,000
Drake (level 50)	Sai	0.07%	132,000
Red Drake (level 60)	Maple Havoc Hammer	0.07%	144,000

Sell the loot in one go with Sell All (see Selling and Buying Rules) and keep a favourite star on anything you want to keep. Everything you sell can be bought back for 24 hours at the same price if you made a mistake.

Repeatable quests worth doing

The big, steady Vesos come from the few repeatable quests that pay them. The New Leaf City bounties are by far the richest for characters between level 40 and 80. Lita Lawless in New Leaf City - Town Center gives four bounties. Finish each once, and you can then repeat it every 48 hours:

Bounty	Level	Bring	First time	Every 48 hours
Fool's Gold	40	30 Lucky Charms	100,000 Vesos, 100,000 EXP	100,000 Vesos, 94,225 EXP
Rags to Riches	70	30 Soiled Rags	200,000 Vesos, 1,000,000 EXP	200,000 Vesos, 533,721 EXP
One Step A-Head	75	1 Jack O'Lantern	200,000 Vesos, 290,000 EXP	100,000 Vesos, 290,000 EXP
Catch a Bigfoot by the Toe	80	1 Bigfoot's Toe	300,000 Vesos, 400,000 EXP	150,000 Vesos, 400,000 EXP

All four repeats together pay 550,000 Vesos every two days. Repeatable Quests lists every quest that can be repeated.

Tamers

A Tamer of level 130 or more who has finished the Tamer starting quests has four dailies, each paying 50,700 Vesos and about a million EXP: Mar the Fairy's two rounds and Trainer Bartos's two duels. Together they pay 202,800 Vesos a day.

Trading for Vesos

Selling to another player always beats the NPC price for anything valuable. Use a player store for Vesos, or the Item Trading Center when the buyer pays in VX. A trade costs the receiver a fee that starts at 0.8% for 100,000 Vesos or more; see Trading.

Where Vesos disappear

The Game Arcade Galton board costs 1,000 a ball and pays about 859 back on average, so it is a sink, not an income.
Mounts and some late quests charge millions to finish.
Store permits (100,000 and 30,000), listing fees (5,000) and taxes take a share from sellers.

Tips

✦

Tip Do not sell what you still need. Quest items, crafting materials and items you favourite are kept by Sell All, but a single sale will sell anything you click.

Keep a pet with the Veso Magnet to pick up coins for you (Cash Shop).
Vesos belong to a character. To move money between characters, hand it over in a trade (mind the fee) or via Storage.
Check Daily Activities first each day: the cheap, certain income is there.
