@FeyFamily well GEEZE THANKS FOR THE INFO. I HOPE LIFE BECOMES A BETTER PLACE NOW THAT I KNOW THE TRUE WAYS TO MURDER GOLLUX AND GET PAID TO DO SO. Thank you and heck yea this will make my life easier lol. @UglierBetty I do both actually, however more so towards selling the sup. Item crystals for about 300k-700k a pop due to how many I have left. On the low I also farm for dark angelic blessing ring recipies as a good profit too. People are starting to sell those cheap for 75 mil now, they used to be 300 mil in scania. I wonder why the price dropped? Also, I tend to do hard mode bossing for the sake of good gear to drop. We all know that no one does magnus hard mode runs unless you actually have a stable guild, so lol mu choices are limited.

[quote=UglierBetty]Thanks! Few questions:

(2) Is there a way of knowing how soon the elite is to coming, or do I just have to guess? And how long is the delay between each one?
(3) Will I need a shop permit to sell the perm nx?[/quote]

1. heres a cool guide on elites [url=https://www.reddit.com/r/Maplestory/comments/2epnbl/everything_you_need_to_know_about_elite/][/url]
2. No but it does help I guess I like to just buy the one day robo shop once in a while in the rewards shop

[quote=smartguy1801]@FeyFamily tried that, apparently maple is self aware. Plus I only do normal mode to get the equips as well, unless I'm suppose to DIE and restart then I'm just freaking late to the party. I usually have 5 keys, yet when I kill gollux the game goes into RESTRICTION mode. (Once per day). So idk, I don't really get butthurt over it either, as long as I get to break down the equips to get sup. item crystals all is good, the coins are a plus with his Superior equips.[/quote]

Dude, you're doing it wrong. For the first few runs, you kill all the body parts EXCEPT the head and then leave. For the last run, you kill whatever you need for your normal mode head kill. Hopefully, this will make your journey to farming for gollux equips A LOT easier lol

What's the best way to use sup. crystals?
Sell them for ~300k a piece?
Or should I use them to craft things that'll sell for more?

How long will elite bosses be around for?
Are they permanent?

And what is the drop list from the bonus stage?

I wish I can give you help but... I am more than willing to learn some tips here. I mean I've already spent about 40nx (CAD TAX IS REAL) and yet the result I got? Really depressing. I took the advice to purchase surprise style box to sell perm nx but.. well... I'm poor. So I can tell you that spending nx is probably not the most efficient way to earn money. (unless you want to change your hair or eyes or something like that. Which I did and I am happy with ) All I can give you for tip is that spending nx is probably not the best way to earn mesos... so good decision there! Anyways I hope people give out some tips here cuz whatever I tried is NOT working.. lol

[quote=smartguy1801]Well, you and I are in the same boat lol. The way I make the most of my mesos WITHOUT nx is simple, yet tedious and long, but hey no one said life was easy. I sold a clean superior gollux ring for 800 mil a while back, and I also sold Superior item crystals for about 20-30 mil give or take. (DW, it was about 60-80 of them). At the moment I' am back at it again with selling gollux gear, preferably the sup. earrings to get the most bang for my buck. What I do not like is the fact that I cannot farm gollux 3 times, or 2 times at that matter because of the new freaking boss matchmaking thingy, so I can only do it once a day. in which makes my life unreasonably tedious and arduous in maple than it should be. All in all, it depends on what you want to make money in. A friend I made recently needed help such as you do, so like him and 30 others this week in maple, I gave away 60 mil to all of them, leaving me dead broke, however they are making 300 mil + based on the events so far in maplestory, and cheap nx items they resold. I give you good luck as well![/quote]

o.o you can still farm it multiple times: kill all the body parts the first two times, then kill the head the final time.

[quote=likeabosss]There are couple ways to make mesos w/o spending nx like
1. Do gollux prequest and collect coins to then sell scroll service or just gollux rings
2. During 2x chill at copper drakes and wait for the ppl training in to spawn an elite and then sell the rewards like clean slates and epic potential scrolls (check price of each item before selling), also you can try to ask the ppl what they got and get them to sell it for you for cheap
3. The merchant way which is chill at fm buying perm nx, marvel items, and etc but you try to to buy it for dirt cheap from players which can work against the innocent player who just did marvel for the first time and wants to sell his new lgr or whatever. Then once you bought something super under priced the plans to sell it eh?[/quote]

Get a store permit, do your daily boss runs and sell the drops, done.
