This page explains where Vesos really come from at each stage of the game, using the game's own coin and drop tables. For the rules behind the numbers see Vesos and Selling and Buying Rules.
Money that needs no fighting
Do these every day, whatever your level. Together they are worth around 60,000 Vesos a day.
| Activity | Reward | Requirement | Resets |
|---|---|---|---|
| Watch a Maple TV broadcast | 5,000 per broadcast, up to 10 a day: 50,000 | None | 00:00 UTC; at least a minute between two broadcasts |
| Daily Check-In | 1,000 on day 1, rising to 50,000 on day 28; 279,500 over a full cycle, plus potions and White Scrolls | Level 10 | 23 hours; breaks if you miss 48 hours |
Levels 1 to 20: coins and the first quests
Coins are at full value up to level 15 and are still 43% at level 20. A typical monster drops a coin pile on about 4 kills in 10:
| Monster | Level | Coin pile on a hit | Average per kill |
|---|---|---|---|
| Snail | 1 | 4 to 5 | about 2 |
| Pig | 7 | 14 to 20 | about 7 |
| Orange Mushroom | 8 | 16 to 23 | about 8 |
| Green Mushroom | 15 | 28 to 41 | about 14 |
| Blue Mushroom | 20 | 16 to 23 (36 to 53 before the level curve) | about 8 |
At these levels the best use of your time is simply levelling: higher monsters pay larger piles until level 15. Pick up everything you can sell; the common drops of many monsters, such as Green Mushroom Caps (6 Vesos) or Blue Mushroom Caps (7), are worth a few Vesos each at the shop.
Levels 21 to 100: selling what monsters drop
Past level 20 the coin pile shrinks fast (8% of the original from level 30), so an ordinary monster adds only a few Vesos per kill in coins. The income moves to what the monsters carry. Averaged over every ordinary field monster in the level band:
| Monster level | Coins per kill | Common drops per kill (20% chance or more) | All other drops per kill (potions, ores, scrolls, equipment) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 21 to 30 | 7 | 7 | about 100 |
| 31 to 40 | 4 | 10 | about 270 |
| 41 to 50 | 7 | 14 | about 400 |
| 51 to 70 | 11 | 19 | about 580 |
| 71 to 100 | 17 | 36 | about 950 |
The last column is mostly equipment dropped at a fraction of a percent, sold to an NPC shop at 60% of its listed price, so it arrives in big lumps. Some examples from real drop tables:
| Monster | Drop | Chance | Shop pays |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wild Boar (level 25) | Lionheart | 0.07% | 84,000 |
| Cold Eye (level 40) | Maple Doom Singer | 0.07% | 60,000 |
| Drake (level 50) | Sai | 0.07% | 132,000 |
| Red Drake (level 60) | Maple Havoc Hammer | 0.07% | 144,000 |
Sell the loot in one go with Sell All (see Selling and Buying Rules) and keep a favourite star on anything you want to keep. Everything you sell can be bought back for 24 hours at the same price if you made a mistake.
Repeatable quests worth doing
The big, steady Vesos come from the few repeatable quests that pay them. The New Leaf City bounties are by far the richest for characters between level 40 and 80. Lita Lawless in New Leaf City - Town Center gives four bounties. Finish each once, and you can then repeat it every 48 hours:
| Bounty | Level | Bring | First time | Every 48 hours |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fool's Gold | 40 | 30 Lucky Charms | 100,000 Vesos, 100,000 EXP | 100,000 Vesos, 94,225 EXP |
| Rags to Riches | 70 | 30 Soiled Rags | 200,000 Vesos, 1,000,000 EXP | 200,000 Vesos, 533,721 EXP |
| One Step A-Head | 75 | 1 Jack O'Lantern | 200,000 Vesos, 290,000 EXP | 100,000 Vesos, 290,000 EXP |
| Catch a Bigfoot by the Toe | 80 | 1 Bigfoot's Toe | 300,000 Vesos, 400,000 EXP | 150,000 Vesos, 400,000 EXP |
All four repeats together pay 550,000 Vesos every two days. Repeatable Quests lists every quest that can be repeated.
Tamers
A Tamer of level 130 or more who has finished the Tamer starting quests has four dailies, each paying 50,700 Vesos and about a million EXP: Mar the Fairy's two rounds and Trainer Bartos's two duels. Together they pay 202,800 Vesos a day.
Trading for Vesos
Selling to another player always beats the NPC price for anything valuable. Use a player store for Vesos, or the Item Trading Center when the buyer pays in VX. A trade costs the receiver a fee that starts at 0.8% for 100,000 Vesos or more; see Trading.
Where Vesos disappear
- The Game Arcade Galton board costs 1,000 a ball and pays about 859 back on average, so it is a sink, not an income.
- Mounts and some late quests charge millions to finish.
- Store permits (100,000 and 30,000), listing fees (5,000) and taxes take a share from sellers.
Tips
- Keep a pet with the Veso Magnet to pick up coins for you (Cash Shop).
- Vesos belong to a character. To move money between characters, hand it over in a trade (mind the fee) or via Storage.
- Check Daily Activities first each day: the cheap, certain income is there.
