SwordArt's Meso Making Guide

Intro: This guide will (mostly) assume you have 0 mules, 0 mages and are just a random noob looking to make a bit of bucks. This game, like most MMO's is a grindy game, to make big bucks you gotta grind. Use owlrepo.com for scroll prices and some ETC prices. any questions or lonely? DM me on disc @"stinkycam"

Farming spots

Spoiler: Low Level

Monster: Rocky Mask | Level 24 | HP: 600
Map: Excavation Site ll or lll
Drops: Earring for INT 60%
Note: Excavation Site 2 or 3 are fine. Site 3 spawns 4 more of these monsters than Site 2. Okay for ranged, better for melee.


Monster: Crow | Level 25 | HP: 550
Map: Zipangu: Crow Forest 2
Drops: Shoes for Jump 30%
Note: Amazing farm. This scroll isn't that rare. Make sure you go to Crow Forest 2 and not 1 because of the teleporters for ez mobility. Okay-ish farm for ranged if u position yourself accordingly. Decent for melee. These dudes fly but there's so many clumped together that it doesn't make it terrible. Good for ice and lightning mages as these are weak to lightning.


Monster: Genin | Level 25 | HP: 600
Map: Inside Ninja Castle
Drops: Eye Accessory for Accuracy 60% , Shield for Wep Attack 10% , Mithril Ore
Note: These Naruto ninja ponytail freaks are great to level on as well as farm. They're all over the place so you wont have any issues.


Monster: Ashigaru | Level: 30 | HP: 950
Map: Zipangu: Castle Corridor [2]
Drops: Scroll for Shield for Weapon Att. 60%
Note: Very hard farm cause the spawn count is dogshit but they share a map with genin.





Monster: Cloud Fox | Level 30 | HP: 920
Map: Zipangu: Mountain of Cloud Fox
Drops: 2h Sword for ATTACK 30% AND Newspaper Hat
Note: These are weak to Fire. If you get a Newspaper Hat you can turn it into a quest giver and get an Overall Armor for DEX 30% which is big meso.




Monster: Leprechaun | Level 45 | HP: 2,800
Map: Phantom Forest: Bent Tree
Drops: Lucky Charms and big meso bags!
Note: If you just wanna afk farm you can kill these dudes and sell the Lucky Charms. These go for a good amount of meso each (last time i checked it was 50k each) as they are needed for the deputy star questline. Bent Tree does not have the most spawns but its the safest as there won't be any other monsters there to attack you.





Monster: Master Chronos | Level 46 | HP: 2,600
Map: Lost Time 2
Drops:Scroll for Helmet for DEX 60%
Note: These are so easy to farm. Almost every class needs this scroll. They always go for at least 3mil+. Any class can farm here cause the map is so good. Clerics can use heal on them.



Monster: Drake | Level 50 | HP: 3,200
Map: Dungeon: Drake Hunting Ground
Drops: Scroll for Helmet for INT 60%
Note: This map may be tougher for ranged classes pre 3rd job. Great for melee.


Monster: Chunin | Level 50 | HP: 4,200
Map: Zipangu: Castle Corridor 3
Drops: Dark Scroll for Shield for Weapon Attack 30%
Note: Ninja Castle is a fkin maze but using that link should help you. These guys are also weak to Lightning and Fire. This scrolls are a bit more uncommon.


Monster: Luster Pixie | Level: 52 | HP: 4,000
Map: Cloud Park VI
Drops: Dark Scroll for Wand for Magic Attack 30% , Power and Dark Crystal Ore
Note: Would not recommend this for mages cause they're strong against everything.

Monster: Miner Zombie | Level 57 | HP: 4,500
Map: El Nath: Dead Mine ll
Drops: Zombie's Lost Gold Tooth
Note: These can go for 150k each. They are used to make Eyes of Fire for Zakum. Easy farm for any class. Best for clerics because they can heal them.



Monsters: Dark Cloud Fox and Nightghost
Map: Zipangu: A Desolate Cemetary
Drops: Helmet for INT 30%, Cape for INT 30%, Dagger for ATK 30%, Claw for ATK 30%, | Overall Armor for INT 70%, Cape for INT 70% | Dark Cloud Foxtail | Ghost Headband.

Note: S tier map for making meso. The ghosts fly so they may be a tad bit harder to kill. You can turn in 100 Dark Cloud Foxtails or 100 Ghost Headbands to this guy. 100 dark Cloud Foxtails can give you a Brown Work Glove and 100 Ghost Headbands can give you a Yellow Adventure Cape.


Monster: Voodoo | Level: 60 | HP: 6,800
Map: Sophilia's Bedroom
Drops: Heartstoppers
Note: Simple braindead farm DO NOT AFK YOULL GET BANNED


Monster: Red Drake | Level: 60 | HP: 6,000
Map: Dangerous Valley ll
Drops: Earring for int 10%, Earring for int 60% , Gloves for MATK 60% , Equips.
Note: I believe this card drop is also pretty rare if you want to sell those.

Monster: Jonin | Level 80 | HP: 25,000
Map: Zipangu: Castle Corridor 5 SPECIFICALLY FIVE
Drops: Shield for Magic Attack 60%
Note: You want to go to Castle Corridor 5 because these guys share a map with Genin and Chunin who also drop great scrolls.

Spoiler: High Levels

Monster: Dark Yeti & Pepe | Level: 82 | HP: 29,000
Drops: Dark scroll for Overall Armor for INT 30% , Equips , LUK and Dark Crystal Ore

Monster: Red Dragon Turtle | Level: 93 | HP: 49,000
Map: Dragon Forest I
Drops: Overall Armor for STR 30% , Equips , Dragon Scales
Note: Extremely hard farm that will put some hair on your chest but this scroll is highly desired.

Monster: Gallopera | Level 94 | HP: 43,000
Map: Entrance to the Spooky World
Drops: Bottomwear for Dex 60% , Glove for Attack 60% , Power Crystal Ore , Equips.
Notes: Great grinding spot as well as a great farming spot.



Monster: Red Wyvern | Level 97 | HP: 53,000
Map: Red Wyvern's Nest
Drops: Glove for Attack 70%
Note: Low mob count (9) so this will be a bit tougher.


Boss Monster: Capt. Latanica | Level 100 | HP: 2mil
Map: Singapore: Engine Room
Drops: Assorted High NPC value Equips
Note: There's an easy questline you have to do in order to summon this guy. To my knowledge you can do him twice a reset. Someone fact check me if I am wrong. This guy also gives 400k+ exp so you and your maple gf can farm him for fun. This boss is also instanced meaning you don't have to hunt him.


Monster: Ninto | Level: 100 | HP: 71,000
Map: Zipangu: Castle Corridor [8]
Drops: Dark Scroll for Eye Accessory for INT 30% , Dark Scroll for Shield for Magic Att. 30% , Equips , Ninto Scrolls
Note: Harder farm but these guys share a map with Genin, Chunin, and Jonin so it's not the worst thing ever. And the scrolls are worth it.



Monster: Blue Wyvern | Level: 101 | HP: 57,000
Map: Blue Wyvern's Nest
Drops: Bow for Attack 30% , Equips , Dragon Scales , LUK Crystal Ore
Note: BOWMASTERS NEED




Monster: Chief Memory Guardian | Level 101 | HP: 59,000
Map: Time Lane: Memory Lane 5
Drops: Helmet for INT 60% and meso bags
Note: This is for the stronger high levels. They drop a lot of meso and drop helm int at a decent rate. Can also try to sell their cards for a good price.



Boss Monster: Ravana | Level 120 | HP: 35mil
Map: Golden Temple
Drops: Assorted High NPC Value equips and coins.
Note: There's a questline you have to do to summon him. If you're jacked like Beaters members you can solo him but you need 1 other person in there so smega for a friend. I know I said 0 mules but this is too easy to pass up. 2 runs per day. Easy meso.





Boss Monster: Papulatus Clock | Level 125 | HP: 24.6mil total
Map: Deep Ludi
Drops: A couple value master books. Assorted High Value NPC equips. Coins.
Note: There' an easy questline you have to do in order to summon and fight him. Easy soloable boss for easy meso.

Quests

Some giga chad already made a guide for quests here. Cascades thanks.



Party Quests

Spoiler: Party Quests

Kerning City PQ
Levels: 21-30
Drops: Overall armor for int 10% | Ores
Notes: S tier PQ. OA int 10% will always sell well if you get lucky. Ores sell for an okay amount becuase of end game crafting. Mithril and Steel Ore sell for the most because of the Horntail prequest.




Ludibrium Party Quest
Levels: 35-50
Drops: Earring for INT 60%, Overall Armor for INT 60%, Cape for INT 60%. | Ores | Equips
Notes: There's a few other scrolls that can sell for a tad bit but those 3 will be the best money maker as well as bonus stage equips. Only hard part is stage 8 being dogshit please delete it.



Orbis Party Quest
Levels: 51-70
Drops: Shoes for Jump 60%, Cape for INT 60% | Low level Equips | Ores
Note: not many people do this PQ even though its pretty good.



Magatia Party Quest
Levels: 71-85
Drops: Cape for int 60%, Earring for INT 60%, Shoes for jump 60%
Note: not many people do this PQ.



Crimsonwood Keep Party Quest
Levels: 90+ (140+ recommended to attack)
Drops: Assorted 30%s such as Wand for MATK. | Spectrum Goggles. Crushed Skull.
Note: very fun PQ but you need 2 of each class (10 people total). highly recommend running this with your buddies or guildies.



Amorian Party Quest
Drops: Onyx Apples, Glove for ATK 60%, some level 50 capes, cape for dex/str/luk 30% scrolls.
Note: You have to be married. After ruining all my marriages I recommend you marry yourself.

ETC.

Spoiler: ETC.

Spoiler: Ores

ORES
Ores are needed to craft lots of high end gear. It's also used for prequests or certain quests. The monsters I picked for farming are based off past experience as well as mob level and map layout. Scan FM or use Owlrepo for prices of ore.

LUK Crystal Ore
Monsters: Master Chronos , Tick-Tock , Jr. Sentinel , Panda Teddy, Nightghost , Trixter.
Notes: All these monsters also drop a scroll worth a decent amount of meso. Master Chronos will be the best for these.

DEX Crystal Ore
Monsters: Chronos , Miner Zombie , Green Trixter
Notes: Miner Zombie is best cause u can get gold teeth as well. Green Trixter is also good cause it shares a map with Trixter so you can get 2 different ores in one map. ez $_$
Power Crystal Ore
Monsters: Platoon Chronos , Jr. Wraith ,
Notes: Both are great spots. JR. Wraith would be easier cause there's a flat map here where u can pretty much afk kill. Just make sure you run if u see a Headless horseman.

Mithril Ore
Monsters: Dark Cloud Fox , Bubbling , Genin.
Notes: Dark Cloud Fox is definitely the best because of the other drops as well as the ore. Bubbling and Genin for if you're lower level.

Steel Ore
Monsters: Rocky Mask , Drumming Bunny , Green Trixter, Miner Zombie
Notes: Rocky Mask good. Trixters good. Miner Zombie great.

Black Crystal Ore
Monsters: I recommend Slimy or Pac Pinky

Spoiler: MISC. ETCS.

Eos Rock Scrolls
You can do 2 repeatable questlines for these scrolls. They should always sell in the FM. Quest 1 and Quest 2. I could be wrong on Quest 2 but someone can fact check me. I also think Quest 1 requires 30 of each and not 15. Can do this quest every 24 hours.


Dead Mine Scrolls
This guide will help you collect these dead mine scrolls that sell for 300k+ each.


Orbis Rock Scrolls
Same thing as Eos rock. Here's the quest.

Sunbursts
After doing the Ravana Questline you can repeat the quest to get Sunbursts and sell them if you can't fight him.

Piece of Crack
After doing the Papulatus Questline you can repeat the quest to get the Crack of Time or w/e it's called and sell it if you can't fight him.

Ellin Ring Stuff
If you get the stuff in the Ellin Ring Questline you can make big bucks minus the firewood.


Rexton Leather
This stuff is needed to craft the Silver Mane mount. 600 is needed so you can get some big bucks farming these.


Crimsonwood Exchange
If you do the crimsonwood exchange questline you can turn in 45 of Stormbreaker, Nightshadow, Windraider and Firebrand's badges for a chance at a White Scroll or Balanced Furies! big meso!!!@@ Firebrands also drop FlameKeeper Cordons which sell for a lot. Stormbreakers drop Overall for INT 60%.

Selling Fame
Sell fame daily. Easy meso that requires 3 clicks.


Dragon Scales and Spirits
These are needed to craft dragon weps. I recommend killing Dark Wyverns because they are easy to kill and also drop Earring for INT 10%. Rexton is a good choice as well for the leather.

CARD HUNTING

Spoiler: Cards

If you love killing stuff and think you're lucky you can smega saying S> card service. You can get 600k+ meso per card for the harder zones. While hunting you can get gach tickets.
