The economy of MapleStory is complicated, with prices fluctuating all the time as a result of inflation. Prices vary from version to version and server to server, depending on availability. Below is a list of those items which generally retain a standard price:
The economy of MapleStory is complicated, with prices fluctuating all the time as a result of inflation. Prices vary from version to version and server to server, depending on availability. Below is a list of those items which generally retain a standard price:
*Scrolls (those that increase equipment statistics) are usually valuable, the cheapest selling for at least 20,000 (except for DEF scrolls and scrolls for pet equipment, which are generally worth very little) and the most expensive selling for up to 30 million (for the Mage-demanded 60% Overall INT scroll, 10%/60% Earring INT scroll, the Warrior/Thief/Bowman-demanded 60/30% Glove Attack, and the 30% Overall for DEX, STR, LUK, and INT).

*Common ores are worth about 1,000 Mesos each. It is recommended that you keep all of your ores instead of selling them to the NPC. However, there are some rarer ores that are worth more, such as the Diamond, Gold or Black Crystal Ores, which can be sold for even more (generally 5,000 - 10,000 Mesos each). Then  there are the rarest ores - the "Crystal" ores such as the LUK, Wisdom, DEX, Power, and Dark Crystal Ores. The most expensive, the Dark Crystal, which is needed for the third job advancement test, sells for up to 200,000 Mesos each. Be wary that the Dark Crystal and Black Crystal Ores are not the same thing.

*The newer or less populated a server is, the higher the prices for rare items are. For example, on GlobalMS Scania, a Blood Chaos Robe may sell for XXX Mesos, while on a less populated or less established server it may sell for up to 1.5 times that amount. At the end of the first week of the GlobalMS Tespia beta phase, those who had found a Panlid sold it for up to 2 million Mesos each. At the end of the last week of Tespia, however, the price had dropped to as low as 100,000 Mesos each. Also, once an item becomes obsolete, its value drops; for example, the price of Panlids in GlobalMS dropped upon the release of the new Magician shields (Mystic and Esther shields) and Bandit shields (Seclusion, Nimble, and Jurgen Wristguards).

*Counterpoint: Scrolls will usually be lower in newer servers; While there is a lower number of scrolls in the market, there will usually be very few people, if any, who can use them effectively. Also, lower level monsters give less profit, so players will have less money, which will translate into lower prices. Finally, quests such as [[../Quests/|Jane and the Wild Boar]] will also add scrolls to the market, in relatively large quantities for the server's age.
