New Player - quick question

Hi all! Found maple legends recently when thinking about fun old days of playing maplestory after school and have been having lots of fun the past few days.

I'm a lvl17 mage and something that has been frustrating is the amount of blue potions I'm burning through and how expensive it is. I'm making less mesos farming enemies than I am spending mesos on blue potions.

i started with a bunch from quests but ive burned through those and now relying on buying them.

is there a better way??

thanks
