How to gain mesos fast

Introduction

I have been trying to get the highest mesos possible at my level... but... I wasted it all :P!

Fast mesos for everyone

Beginners

Beginners can't have 200k right away (Unless you've been begging, have another rich file and took it out of the bank). The best way is to simply train!

Levels 10-20

At low levels (level 10-20) it is best if you are a Warrior, because they do not consume MP potions or use projectiles. Otherwise Rogues and Bowmen should just use stars/arrows and not use MP at all. Magicians have no choice, but to stick to Energy Bolt. They should swing their wand on Snails, Blue Snails and maybe Shrooms, to save MP.

Levels 20-30

From level 20-30, PQ-ing is the way to go. The scrolls you obtain can be worth anywhere from 50k to 300k!!! However potion costs may negate that. If not you can fork out 1,000 mesos and go to Florina Beach. Harvest coconuts there. Each coconut sells for 145 mesos and are a good deal. Just swing your weapon and voila, coconuts! Spears and polearms are recomended.

Levels 30-70

In 2nd job there is absolutely no problem for making mesos if you are a Cleric. Otherwise you may struggle with the high prices of equipments; now you need to go to Ossyria to get your equipments! Conserving potions is out of the question: unless you like leveling up slowly. If you can dominate the market then you're good to go, otherwise you will have to struggle with high costs of training.
This problem should diminish over time, as you get richer by the day. Sell scrolls you don't need, make sure you sell your equipments at a good price. Ludibrium Pq is also good for the Napoleon Capes.

Level 70++

Well... nothing much to add. You should be rich enough.

All

Generally:

• Sell your items at good prices
• Train in areas which you can 1 or 2-hit KO the monsters, so you won't have to waste potions
• Conserve MP usage while training
• Use potions that give less HP/MP, as they generally cost less per point of HP/MP healed. Only upgrade to the next potion if you find it very very troublesome to repeatedly jab the potion button.
• Lower leveled players should stick to potions, as food have a higher mesos to MP/HP healed ratio.
• Party with a Cleric if possible
• If you are comfortable with your current equipment, don't buy new ones.
• PQ!
• Don't waste mesos to fufil your greed. Buy only what you need. Avoid buying quest items, and if buying new equipment/scrolls from other players, know your prices well, as well as above average ones.
