not to necropost but this thread is still on page one so w.e
I have to dissagree with part of what you're all saying.
I
Don't hack
Have yet to spend any money on NX
am doing fine merchanting, In the three months since my return to MS from oblivion ( got hacked )
I've made alot of what I used to have back and am doing fine without having spent a dime on MS and the only thing i'm getting nx for soon is an item lock or two and some perma clothing. within 3 months of casual merching I've made 5b+ in mesos/items and secured some of the more sought after items in GMS (collectors items that are honestly too damn pricey )
maybe because I'm not 16x and am only in the beginning of 4th job I don't know about some sort of massive increase in the amount of mesos needed to play decently but I'm doing fine so far, buying cubes from friends isn't a problem and I'm slowly upgrading my equips, working on haste shoes atm.
point is, you don't need to spend a dime or alot of time , just spend your time on MS wisely and you'll be fine, just
1. check all the FM rooms ( takes 15min to go through them all looking for deals ) 3 times a day
2. know your prices
3. figure out what items people will pay alot for that you can easily scroll . for example way back when for 300m you could almost gaurentee 1b profit in 2 days I'd go get a bunch of highly above average soul spears and scroll them with 30%'s, one that comes out +3/4 30% with any amount of slots left easily sold for 400m. this specific item dosen't go for that much anymore but there are items like these, Items that are cheap-ish with scrolls that are abundant that people want, I've found such items and its easy money.
you don't need NX to play , you can get NX via MTS and who cares for the ratio. get a shop permit and start merchanting , its not hard at all.
