VX
| What it is | The second Cash Shop wallet, and the currency of the Item Trading Center |
|---|---|
| Belongs to | Your account, shared by all your characters |
| Earn | Item Trading Center sales, weekly Tamer tournament prizes, coupon codes, staff grants |
| Spend | Cash Shop (after Maple Points), Item Trading Center purchases |
| Not earned by | Monsters, ordinary quests, the daily errands, selling to NPC shops |
| Maximum balance | 2,147,483,647 |
| Real money | VX cannot be bought with real money |
VX is the cash-shop currency of MapleVerse. It is not the same as Vesos (the money you carry and spend at NPC shops) and not the same as Maple Points (the wallet the daily errands fill). VX is the scarce one: nothing you kill, collect or hand in will give you VX. It moves between players in the Item Trading Center, is paid out as a weekly tournament prize, and is otherwise given by the team.
The three wallets
| Wallet | Belongs to | You get it from | You spend it on |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vesos | Each character | Monster coins, selling loot, quests, trading, Maple TV | NPC shops, travel, storage fees, many quests |
| Maple Points | Your account | Daily cards, coupons | Cash Shop only |
| VX | Your account | Item Trading Center sales, Tamer tournaments, coupons | Cash Shop (second choice), Item Trading Center purchases |
Nothing converts one wallet into another. Prices in the Cash Shop are the same number in Maple Points and VX.
How to get VX
Selling in the Item Trading Center
Anything you can trade can be listed for VX in the Item Trading Center (also called the Maple Trading System), which you enter by talking to the Trade Broker beside the Anonymous Merchant in the Free Market. You must be level 10 or higher.
- You set an asking price of at least 110 VX. The listing costs a flat 5,000 Vesos and lasts 7 days. You may have 10 listings at once.
- The buyer pays your price plus 100 VX plus 10%. You receive your full asking price in VX; the extra is the Item Trading Center's commission and disappears from the economy.
- An unsold item comes back to you through the Item Trading Center's own transfer inventory when the 7 days are up.
For example: an item listed at 1,000 VX costs the buyer 1,200 VX (1,000 + 100 + 100), and you receive 1,000 VX.
Weekly Tamer tournaments
Two cups run every week (the Open Cup and the Level 50 Cup) and pay 10,000 VX to first place and 5,000 VX each to second and third. Only Tamers with at least one partner can enter, and the prize is paid only when at least four entrants answered the call to the arena, so a handful of friends cannot farm it. The dates are listed on Weekly and Event Activities.
Coupon codes
Some coupon codes pay VX. Enter them with the Coupon button in the Cash Shop. Codes are created by the team.
The team
Staff can add VX to an account directly. It is not something you can request in the game.
How VX is spent
- Cash Shop. The shop takes your Maple Points first. It takes VX when your Maple Points do not cover the full price on their own, and VX only pays if the whole price fits (never half and half). See Cash Shop.
- Item Trading Center purchases. You pay the listed price plus 100 VX plus 10%. It is the one place you can use VX to buy something another player made or found.
- Slot expansions bought in the Cash Shop use the same rule: 400 for four extra slots on one tab.
Checking your balance
Open the Cash Shop and look at the balances in the top bar, or open the Item Trading Center. VX is the same on every character.
Why you might see no VX
| Situation | Answer |
|---|---|
| "I did the daily errands, but my VX did not move." | They give Maple Points. Use the card and look at your Maple Points balance. |
| "I sold something to an NPC shop for VX." | NPC shops pay Vesos. See Selling and Buying Rules. |
| "I want to buy VX." | There is no way to buy VX with real money. The Charge and Check buttons in the Cash Shop are greyed out. |
