It's the second update for Project New Leaf, and this month we're making some big changes to the MapleStory 2 economy! Learn about the Meso Market, get better odds on catching Epic Pets, take advantage of cheaper costs to change the attributes on Legendary Gear and much more with the Economy Improvements Update!
Meso Market
The Meso Market allows Maplers to supplement their bank by purchasing blocks of 5,000,000 mesos from fellow players, and for those with a wealth and a half of mesos to earn some Blue Merets by selling off what they have to spare. You can purchase mesos with Meso Tokens, a new currency that can only be used on the Meso Market, and convert into Blue Merets for the fellow Mapler selling the mesos.
Meso Tokens can only be purchased via NX Prepaid, and as such is only available to players on the Nexon Launcher. You can only purchase up to 20,000,000 mesos per month to better manage the impact this new system will have on gear progression. Additionally, each account may only list up to 25,000,000 mesos per day. This system will allow players that have less time to gather mesos to get a boost to their progression, without making spending money the best way to gear up fast.
Meso Market Details
- Listing Mesos:
- All Meso Market listings must be for 5,000,000 mesos
- An account may create up to 5 listings (25,000,000 total mesos) per day
- Your listed price must be within 20\% of the current average price
- Europe, North America and Australia Regions: 500 Meso Token initial price
- South America Region: 300 Meso Token initial price
- Price is how many Meso Tokens your listing will cost to purchase, and how many Blue Merets you will receive when your listing is purchased
- There are no transaction fees
- Canceling a Meso Listing will return your mesos through the in-game mail, but will not increase the number of listings you can create that day
- If your Meso Listing expires, you can recover your mesos by clicking the "Retrieve" button on the listing itself, which will send your mesos back to you via the in-game mail
- Buying Meso Tokens:
- A buyer opens the "Buy Merets" menu and purchases Meso Tokens
- 100 Meso Tokens can be purchased for 1,000 NX
- These tokens have the same value as Blue Merets, but can only be purchased with NX Prepaid and can only be spent in the Meso Market
- To minimize the impact of fraudulent activities, Meso Tokens can only be purchased with NX Prepaid and, as a result, are only available to players that have launched via the Nexon Launcher
- Meso Tokens can only be used in the Meso Market
- Buying Mesos:
- The buyer goes to the Meso Market and purchases the listing of 5,000,000 mesos for the listed price
- The buyer pays via Meso Tokens
- The amount of Meso Tokens you spend when purchasing a Meso Listing is the amount of Blue Merets that the other player receives (again, no transaction fees)
- Buyers can purchase up to 4 listings per month (thus, a maximum of 20,000,000 mesos purchased per month)
- Purchased mesos will be delivered through the in-game mail
Epic Pets
Epic Pets are one of the elusive status symbols in MapleStory 2. Hard to find, hard to tame, but they're powerful helpers in the field and are adorable to boot! We're lowering the barrier and making them more prolific in MapleStory 2,
increasing your odds of catching an Epic Pet by 600\%. Hit the wilds and save those G3 Snares for red-metered pets for the best chance for an Epic Pet, and you'll have a buddy backing you up in no time!
Meso Sink Reduction
We also took aim at two particularly hefty resource sinks that have been holding players back from getting their equipment in top shape. While we'll be aiming to have more changes to Meso Sinks and other aspects of the economy with the Progression Improvement Update (tentatively planned for the end of April), but for now, enjoy cheaper Accessory Fragment Fusions and Legendary Gear Attribute changes!
Meso Sink Reduction Details
- All Accessory Fragment Fusion costs have been reduced by 90\%
- Epic Accessory Fragment Fusion now costs 50,000 mesos, down from 500,000 mesos
- Legendary Accessory Fragment Fusion now costs 100,000 mesos, down from 1,000,000 mesos
- Legendary Gear Attribute Change Crystal Fragment costs for Headgear, Top, Bottom, Gloves and Shoes have been reduced:
- First attempt reduced to 400 Crystal Fragments, down from 2,000
- Subsequent attempts costs 400 additional fragments per attempt, down from ~25\% increase from the previous attempt
