Meso Farming in Bera, is it worth it?

THIS IS OLD, WATCH THE FINAL MESO FARMER UPDATE FOR MORE ACURATE OPINIONS.
I'm getting flashbacks to my 2 years in Reboot. Good and bad, haha.
Some more testing will need to be done of course, this is only the first 'session' on my farming character, but as it sits currently, unless there is a massive shakeup in the game state, meso obtain % is not a priority for Reg server players looking to boost their funds. Drop % however, even 1L on your accessories, is a game changer. It practically funded my account with droplets and node-stones. I would 100% encourage anyone who is looking to farm a lot, to get your hands on a set. Be it AH or cubing them yourself during DMT like I did.
100% Drop Rate has a ton of uses, its value outweighs its cost in the long run 100000000%.
100% Meso Obtain however, has a VERY limited use in Reg servers, and unless the value of meso skyrockets well into the 1:25-30 range. It's not really more beneficial than having bonus droprate and selling nodestones/droplets/boss drops/ event drops.
If you have any specific questions, be sure to hit up the comments, I'll answer any and all I'm able to. :)

I just wanna say you have some of the best maple content on youtube. I'm a casual player but its fun seeing someone this op progress through the game.

[@silence_n1]

Yo real talk, I swear you help with my mental health. I watch a lot of KZbinrs and I honestly find you one of the best. You're so knowledgable about the game and you have a certain quality that helps me relax. I've probably watched your Mihile 200-250 guide 15+ times so I just wanna say I really appreciate what you do

[@silence_n1]

Btw I just made a Mihile for my Tera burning cus of you

Glad to know playing this game for coming on 16 years is finally paying off. Glad I could help. :)

idk why but your videos are just so entertaining. love the content. also aran link skill when :3

[@TheIcarus41]

Honestly Ive used both of your lvl 250 for wild hunter and marksmen for training/general guide and theyve been incredibly helpful. Any ideas if your going to do kinesis anytime soon? Also another question I am 220 on kinesis and well onto my way to arcana (arcanna?) and Ive noticed I can clear a map insanely well. Should I invest in mesos/drop gear when I hit arcana? I am playing in bera btw

[@Sacrix]

Drop gear certainly if you can afford it! Meso is kind of, niche atm, not something I would recommend everyone pick up, for now, but if you want to grab it, there is no harm, just means more meso for you!

[@TheIcarus41]

@@Sacrix Thanks for responding! I look forward to your next coming videos and I subbed as well :)

[@MrEfficientGaming]

Hey! Love the video I wanted to ask since I’m going for f2p should I invest in purely drop to sell nodes or should I get meso 100% and rest drop?

[@Sacrix]

If meso values stays up, around 1:13-15 range, then I think its wise to invest in meso gear. 100% is 5 accessories, and the rest can be Drop rate, with a large drop rate familiar. That's likely the best 'cheap' combination for Free-2-Play players in Bera. As you're getting cap meso obtained from gear, as well as a good bit of drop rate!

[@gmsthrakkes2992]

You know, with current price in Meso market in Bera, you can easily get maple points for a Drop card so you get even more nodestones + droplet even symbols if you need. Of course, getting more meso bags. On my Beast Tamer, because I already walk a lot just by installing trumpet, there was one time I almost got 1B mesos in 4 hours with drop card, 40% meso drop from two gears, rank SS phantom and I think I also had 9% mesos/item drop from IA. The advantage with Beast Tamer is you don't need to stop attacking very much when looting. I train in same map as you because Fart can one hit, so I can easily kill the Lv240 mob before next respawn. I use Li'l Fort to be sure my map refresh fastest possible. A Beast Tamer who can only two shots with fart won't be able killing Lv240 mobs in time due to their ''respawn animation'' which takes maybe half second, idk while Lv239 mob gets hit even before we can see them appearing. EDIT: I could maybe hit 1bil in 4 hours if I looted more esos to corner, but once I got my friend in my map and I let him loot nodestones and we exceeded 1B by maybe 100m, plus all the potions we NPC and spell traces. He also got a lot of honor EXP.

[@Sacrix]

Yeah, that's what I did as well. First 1b farmed sold in meso market to fund the rest of the week with 2x cards.

[@cosmic1523]

what about extracting the utgard gear for superior item crystals

[@Sacrix]

Very little profit in that, since bots have flooded the market. :c

[@idkyolo988]

Hey man do u have any tips for someone wanting to start making maple story vids?

[@Sacrix]

Find a niche, and be consistent. Also get incredibly lucky. Starting out on youtube and twitch can be very rough. Just gotta stick to it.

[@darksteve560]

So in theory at least for me since I am using tradable drop gear. If. I can get upward of 100% drop. I can keep my gear at epic 12 stars and 9% stat/att and maxing my nodes off the bat should allow me to one shot probably up to esfera?

[@Sacrix]

Heavily depends on class. In general no 12star 9%stat/att and max nodes wont come close to 1 shotting in Esfera. It would do fine up til Arcana tho probably. Esfera is a big jump up from Arcana in terms of damage required. So for a lot of people, and most of my 250s included, Arcana is the best place to be unless they invest that extra umph into funding.

[@tecul1]

a tradeable drop gear set half earring, branch nose, specs, black bean ring, and owl/wolf pendant could be good (i have all but pendants) for daily bossing

[@SakuyaIyazoi]

The "one for me one for sale" thing with nodestones was very interesting to me, but what kind of baseline would you want to work with to start doing that? Strong enough to one shot in lach? arcana? and then with the nodestones for you, if youre strong enough to one shot with your main mobbing skill would you shift focus away from boost nodes to crafting dhs nodes to level?

[@Sacrix]

Pretty much hit the nail on the head. Once you're able to comfortably farm, swap you maxing dhs

[@Seija729]

Better to extract the equips for superior item crystals rather than npc them right? each crystal is 100k+ and you can get 4 of them for 1 equip.

[@Sacrix]

While in theory it's a sound idea, in execution, it isn't. The time it takes to dismantle an entire inventory of armor, even without account for frequent lag in Bera, is huge, when added up over the course of a farming day. As well, bots are only ever gone Temporarily. You can never for sure say, 'this time, theyre gone for good!', they will always come back, and when they do, the market for superior item crystals, is going to tank back down for 15k ea. Which is super not worth. At least for now, when the botters aren't currently flooding the market with them, its an ok option, you can make a little bit more on top, if you dont mind the extra effort required, but all in all, I just don't think its worth all the added hassle.

[@alejandraaromal9647]

Now nodestoens are worth like 2-3m in aurora...I guess meso drop is better now? Also I don’t farm at arcana because I’m trying to get to 275 at void c3 so no droplets...no droplets, nodes are cheaper...meso>item gear for me??

[@Sacrix]

This video is old, best to watch the latest meso farmer update. Macroers saw this video and ruined the drop market. So yes, meso obtain is better.

[@aboy3241]

Does drop rate affect mesos? Like drop extra mesos bag . Example 0% mesos obtain 100% drop rate will affect the mesos?

[@Sacrix]

You need at least 67% drop rate, to guarantee a meso bag from monster. Past there, outside of Reboot, and very specific circumstances you can't get more than 1 meso bag per monster.

[@aboy3241]

@@Sacrix if I didnt get u wrong, is that mean 67% drop rate will drop extra bag meso in regular server?

[@shailist]

if you have a frenzy totem, you should just sell frenzy service. you would get more meso per hour just for 1 service, but you can also give service to multiple people at the same time for insane gainz

[@Sacrix]

Selling Frenzy service isn't something I enjoy doing. It turns Maple from a game into a job, which, isn't what I'm here for. :/

We need a new video fam

[@Kytzis]

What about the fact that drop caps at 200% from equips, and 2x cs also gives you 2x meso? didnt account for that when saying "nodes are abouit 70% of what i get"

[@Sacrix]

This video is way out of date. Best to watch the most recent meso farmer update. Meso obtain is way better in the current market now. This video kind of killed the drop market LOL

[@filosofogame]

Meringue

[@sketchdevil5194]

So would you rather prefer to have 100-140% drop without mesos because its guranteed to make mesos from droplets amd Nodes instead of having Mesos obtained gear%? The price of q line of drop and 1 mesos is very expensive

[@Sacrix]

Drop rate has so many more used than meso obtain, and meso obtain is really only useful for 10h every week. So I'd say I prefer drop > meso obtain yea.

[@sketchdevil5194]

@@Sacrix thank you , btw does decent holy symbol stack with 2x drop card?

[@yuminghuang8064]

Curious to know what your nodestone rate would have been if you used your full drop gear

[@Sacrix]

Averages out to about 40/h. Or about 20 trade-able nodes.

[@TheDoomGuy333]

You sell equips not break them down for superior item crystals at ardent?

[@Sacrix]

Takes too long for no profit. The map is to popular now since I let the cat out of the bag. Keeping your map is worth way more than the superior crystals.

[@youngmetro6430]

how much drop rate should we get before it has diminishing return or is it better to go for strictly drop always? (Currently 190%)

[@Sacrix]

Soft cap at 300%

[@tecul1]

there has been one (but only one) test with the conclusion that 300 drop counts 100 as a base, so only 200 matters

[@gratian2577]

hello Sacrix. how do you manage to get to 250 with all the characters if it takes years to finally get the arcane stones only for one job to max?

[@Sacrix]

Arcane Catalysts exist in Reg servers, that allow you to move Arcane Symbols 1 time, at the cost of 20% of its total exp. So I use those to move them between each 250. At my current rate, it'll be about 4 years before I finally max my Symbols.

[@gratian2577]

Sacrix oh I got it. Will they decrease level if there’s no exp?

[@Sacrix]

@@gratian2577 Yes

[@xanderwayne7938]

I have 280% drop and 25% mesos and I main a da and I get more mesos then you hourly at mts, about 145m I think if you finish that drop set your mesos rate be much higher Zero>da mobbing so maybe update this if you finish your set?

[@Sacrix]

You only need 67% drop to guarantee a meso bag drop. These are my clean rates, no modifiers.

[@klowstanaccount7976]

Ive been thinking about playing on reg servers recently since ive gotten kinda bored of reboot. I dont mind spending a bit of money but how is playin reg servers as someone who doesnt wanna spend too much on the game.

[@klowstanaccount7976]

Also how hard is it to find maps like slurpy on Bera? One of the reasons im so tired of reboot is every channel on every map is always full.

[@Sacrix]

Playing f2p is easier now than ever before. Check out Amyte on KZbin for a very good f2p series you can binge to learn funding troubles. For popular maps, Bera is just as packed as Reboot unfortunately.

[@taroakimotousui1741]

Una pregunta 100% mesos obtain en Equipo es el Limite? No puedo tenener mas? Esto incluye 100% items + 20% inerability? = 120% o solo 100% no more :c

[@Sacrix]

Obtener 100% meso es el límite para los potenciales de su equipo. El 20% es el máximo que puede obtener de la habilidad interna y el 5% de la 250 Phantom Card. (Además del 11% (?) De Monster Life) lo que lleva a un total de 136% de obtención mensual. Hopefully that makes sense, used google translate.

Wouldnt it be better to just sell frenzy service?

[@Sacrix]

Frenzy service is tedious and makes the game feel like a chore/job rather than a game. So I don't like doing it.

[@Remia25]

Would you say meso gear is worth it with the current economy in Bera right now? Droplet and nodestone prices dropped a lot and I was thinking about rerolling drop rate gear to meso gear since I can't afford hybrids. Not sure if it's worth it though!

[@Sacrix]

Drop is always useful. Meso is only useful til the bots come back. :x
