Vesos
| What they are | MapleVerse's everyday money (the original game's currency) |
|---|---|
| Kept by | Each character; extra can be stored in Storage |
| Maximum | 2,147,483,647 |
| Main sources | Monster coins, selling loot to NPC shops, quests, Maple TV, the Daily Check-In, trading |
| Main uses | NPC shops, travel fares, quest fees, store permits, listing fees |
| Not the same as | VX and Maple Points, the cash-shop wallets |
Vesos are the money of MapleVerse. Monsters drop them as coins, NPC shops pay them for your loot, and you spend them on potions, gear, fares and fees. They are not the same as VX or Maple Points, which are for the Cash Shop and cannot be exchanged for Vesos in either direction. For how to earn them quickly see Making Vesos.
Where Vesos come from
| Source | What you get | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Monster coins | A coin pile on a kill, about a 40% chance per kill for most monsters | Shrinks sharply above level 15. See the coin curve. |
| Selling to NPC shops | 60% of an item's listed price, at least 1 | See Selling and Buying Rules. |
| Maple TV | 5,000 per broadcast | Up to 10 a day per account. |
| Daily Check-In | 1,000 to 50,000 per day | A full 28-day cycle pays 279,500 Vesos. |
| Repeatable quests | Up to 200,000 per run | New Leaf City bounties (levels 40 to 80), Tamer dailies (level 130). See Repeatable Quests. |
| One-time quests | Up to 300,000 | Many mid and late quests pay a lump sum. |
| Trading with players | Whatever you agree | A receiver fee applies to large amounts. See Trading. |
| Player stores | The stall price, less a sales tax | See Player Stores. |
| Coupon codes | Whatever the code says | Entered in the Cash Shop. |
The sums that move fastest are not from monsters. Maple TV alone is 50,000 a day, and a single level 70+ bounty pays 100,000 to 200,000.
Where Vesos go
| Sink | Cost |
|---|---|
| NPC shop purchases | The shop's listed price; never cheaper than the item's sell-back value |
| Taxi fares between the Victoria towns | 800 to 1,000 Vesos (a Beginner pays a tenth) |
| Storage keepers | Typically 100 Vesos per deposit; taking items out is free (level 15 or higher) |
| Store permits (Fredrick) | Store Permit for a Hired Merchant 100,000; Regular Store Permit 30,000 |
| Listing in the Item Trading Center | 5,000 per listing |
| Player store sales | Seller's tax: 0.4% from 100,000 up to 3% from 100,000,000 on a sale |
| Fredrick retrieving a closed store | 1% of the takings for every full day since it closed; forfeited after 100 days |
| Duey parcels and trades | See Trading |
| Game Arcade Galton board | 1,000 a ball; the average payout is about 859, so on average you lose about 141 a ball |
| Quest fees | A handful of quests, mainly the mount quests, charge 5,000,000 to 50,000,000 to finish |
The coin curve
| Monster level | 15 or less | 16 | 18 | 20 | 22 | 24 | 26 | 28 | 30 or more |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coins dropped | 100% | 85% | 60% | 43% | 31% | 22% | 16% | 11% | 8% |
The percentage applies to the amount in the pile, never to the chance of a pile. A pile is never reduced below 1 Vesos. In practice a level 20 Blue Mushroom drops 16 to 23 Vesos on a hit instead of 36 to 53, and a level 30 Sentinel drops 4 to 6 instead of 52 to 77. The curve is based on the monster's level, not yours.
That is why the money moves from coins to sold loot as you level, as described in Making Vesos.
