*'''Defaming''': Defames, which is the opposite of fame, are generally frowned upon, as they can easily lead to "mass defames" in which a band of people defames a single person repeatedly. Defaming is sometimes a useful tool to use if someone is being extremely disrespectful by kill stealing or otherwise. A "defame war" is similar to a mass defaming, except two parties of people defame each other. | *'''Defaming''': Defames, which is the opposite of fame, are generally frowned upon, as they can easily lead to "mass defames" in which a band of people defames a single person repeatedly.

==Economy== | |||
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. | |||
==Permanent beginner== | |||
'''Permanent Beginners''' (also referred to as "super newbies"), are those Beginners who stay Beginners past the first job advancement. The path of the Permanent Beginner is challenging, and only those with the patience can create a successful Beginner. Here are several of the most common reasons given for remaining a Beginner: | |||
*The challenge involved. | |||
*The fact that Beginners do not lose experience upon death. | |||
*The fact that the Cabs (regular and VIP) remain inexpensive at a 90% discount. | |||
*The privilege of being able to wield rare weapons like the Frozen Tuna, Sake Bottle and Maroon Mop (highest weapon attack in the game) in some MapleStory versions which have extremely high weapon attacks and low level requirements. | |||
*It is easier to save Mesos because traveling via Cabs is inexpensive. | |||
*Because of the rarity of Permanent Beginners and the challenge, Beginners will be envied. | |||
While the pros are promising, there are a few cons that may outweigh the pros, depending on the user's opinion. Here are the cons: | |||
*Beginners don't have much weapon and armor selection. | |||
*Beginners have very few skills. | |||
*Beginners deal lower damage than Warriors their level until about level 40. | |||
*Beginners will be KSed a lot more in their higher levels than they were in the lower levels. | |||
* You will have less quests, for some have required jobs to accept | |||
