    I don't enjoy earning income by selling leech but unfortunately I feel like that is the route everyone has to take now. Are there any other ways to make a steady income that doesn't involve gaching or leeching?

    As someone who never sold a single minute of leech in royals, here are some methods I used.

    1. Just mage grinding and npcing equips, merching high stat equips at ulu maps

    2. Farming helm int 60% at Memory Lane 5 in ToT (currently 6~7m ea)

    3. Hunting (area) bosses that drop 5k nx.

    • ToT (Dodo, Lilynouch & not lyka becoz some tropical fruit camps there 24/7)
    • Headless Horseman (this supplies like 15k/ day on average) and BigFoot
    • Papulatus x 2 per day (easy 5~10k)
    • Manon and Griffey
    4. ~5man CWKPQ

    Bonus gives substantial income. Gathering taos to craft Balanced Fury nets 1bil income once a while.

    5. Use the farmed NX for gachapon but go around each town to collect full eraser set +bluish mineral to craft alchemist ring = 1.3b

    6. While farming nx, always have an extra client afk farming stoppers.

    Marry four characters to yourself.

    Have the ability to do up to 16 APQs a reset.

    Only increases the meso gain with stopper clients on the side.

    After you get Max mesos, you can sweep fm looking for people trying to show off their items like a 25 cape or a 140 nisrock

    Good method: Make as many accounts as possible, sell fames.
    Evil method: Make as many accounts as possible, scam people by pretending to sell leech.

    Assuming you already have funds to play with here.

    Buy scrolls with a low enough supply to be depleted often but high enough demand that people will buy what’s available out of desperation even if priced well above market value. Also buy scrolls during their lows caused by events and resell them once the event ends, saturation dies down and they return to their stable “normal” price (think: 30% scrolls which drop substantially in value during the Valentines? event but return to their normal value within just a few months after it ends).

    While this requires both patience and funds, it also requires so little time to be invested and arguably no effort whatsoever. Simply owl 2x/day, buy up supply and don’t sell until they return to baseline.

    Imagine this (hypothetical, not meant to be an accurate representation):

    You have 15b mesos

    You buy 1000 claw 30% for 15m ea. during the event

    You sell 1000 claw 30% for 20-25m ea. after the event

    You’ve now made a whopping 5-10b in a few months by doing dick all


    Alternatively, you can manipulate the market but this requires far more investment (in some cases), risk, time, and effort:

    You continually buy out a certain scroll with moderate-high demand but lower supply (let's use Earring DEX 60% @ 2-4m each)

    You reprice the scroll(s) at a higher value in your own store (the only store with any of them left because you're buying the others out consistently, let's say @ 6-8m each)

    You continue to buy out the market while forcing people to buy your overpriced scrolls by removing all other suppliers

    Rinse and repeat

    It doesn't fit your demand of not selling leech, but it makes a good 460-480m mesos (net) per hour and some 5K NX Cards.

    You could sell low level bigfoot leech using a low level chief bandit and an Everstone NX Item which prevents your character from gaining EXP.

    Though it requires you to be focused due to Bigfoots iframes and after 1h you need a hand surgery first before you can continue with the 2nd hour

    Ah there's a problem with that though lol
    Trying to get 1000 scrolls to buy will be rather difficult and could take a while, and selling 1000 will be even more difficult
    At the end with your 1000 scrolls you'd change the market and they will go down form 20-25m back to 15m cause you sell too many lol

    if you wanna make a lot of mesos in a short amount of time, doing things like gachaing and scrolling recklessly are great ways at achieving this. However, obviously not guaranteed return.

    What others have said are good ways for a safe return, I like the idea that @Cynn posted about APQ, I have 4 characters married, and while I don't really do APQ anymore, it was a great way for me to make 100m+ a day even if I only did runs on 1-2 characters. I know you don't want to leech, but farming ulu for the equips to NPC alone is a great way of making meso, not to mention the ones with stats you can sell in the FM.

    One thing I do, when I'm doing homework or am just watching YouTube or something, is I'll take one or two clients and put them on the boats going from Ellina -> Orbis and vice versa, killing the rogs and farming their NX. They don't always spawn or drop NX, but it makes me something while otherwise being AFK. The drops of 100s and 250 cards can add up to 700 NX per boat ride if you're lucky, and if you're even more lucky they'll drop a 5k. This one is slow but I really recommend it, you only have to have Royals open to board the ship and 1 minute after take off (if rogs don't spawn exactly 1 minute after boat leaves, they don't spawn for the duration of the ride).

    Sorry for the essay, but ultimately "creative" ways to make meso probably won't be too steady, but there's a lot of methods out there. Good luck and add me in-game if you want!

    You don't buy/sell them all at once and you don't lower the price if there is ever a dip, you just hold. Think: putting 50 Claw 30% in your store at market value once they return to baseline and buying 1000 Claw 30% over the span of the month? long (granted you only really have a 2, maybe 3 week period where prices will be at their lowest) event. It is not difficult at all if one is patient and doesn't go full retard by putting 1000 scrolls in their store and trying to undercut/getting undercut in the process.

    Selling ETC required for quests everyone does and iTCG crafting.
    CwKPQ preq, Krex preq etc.

    Lazy people pay well but it's inconsistent. Plus some of them are farmed by hackers.

    I was going to create a new thread about ways to make mesos but I thought instead I would just bump this.

    A couple other ways to make mesos is to sell the HP quest items because people often don't want to find them themselves and you can also sell the drops required for the silver mane quest.

    If you're in the process of making a mage and he still kind of low-level you can take a trip over to nightghosts and try to farm some claw attack 30s. Another item I'm thinking of trying to farm is sharp eyes 20 tho you need a mage with an ultimate to make this viable.

    You can also sell services such as helping people with htpq or helping people do their fourth job skill quests.

    I'm curious if people have more ways to earn mesos besides selling leech and npcing equips which is another reason I'd like to bump this topic.

    Sharp Eyes drop rate got nerfed with recent patch.

    People farm Silver Man etc drops quest. Decent, its like higher level hp quest farming. I think it's easier too to farm.

    A vast majority is farmed by hackers, beware.
