To be financially successful in Artail, players have to carefully plan and execute a multitude of different things, such as grinding, participating in PQs, completing quests, farming for items, boss farming, and buying potions. Adopting recommended strategies will significantly increase the amount of Mesos earned, while improving the gaming experience.
Mesos is best farmed in the game using methods like grinding. While this seems simple, a certain level of strategy is required for cost-effective grinding. Players looking to spend the least amount of Mesos on potions while continuing to enjoy the game should consider changing their gears, or fighting easier opponents.
Damage Management
Melee fighters are the most punished class in terms of potion dependency. Every single point you heal requires you to take an HP potion, and every spell or skill also drains your MP. The two don’t come for free, so maintaining your finances while scaling can be tricky actually. Try not to go overboard with higher tier skills too quickly. As long as you apply basic punches, you will heal. As a warrior, try using Basic Attack until you zip past level 20.
Potion Selection
Always go for the cheaper options when it comes to potions. For example, while Mana Elixirs might seem alluring due to the MP they restore, blue potions still seem to be a better deal. White potions do restore a high value of HP, but red potions restore almost the same amount while being a lot cheaper. Sticking to cheaper potions like in this example blue potions, will help you save up significantly until level 50.
Participate In Party Quests (PQs)
If you’re looking for ways to make some Mesos without spending a lot on potions, participating in Party Quests is a good place to start. You'll get a lot of valuable rewards, experience, and even be able to level your character within a reasonable level gap.
Reward Potential
Certain PQS like KPIQ and LPQ can get you a lot of scrolls with good meso value like the overall armor for deck 10% scrolls which sells for 300-400k meso. It also provides equipment and potions that you can use or sell which makes it even better.
Search for Quests
In Artail, quests can help you level up fast and most importantly earn a lot of income. Focus on finishing those quests that offer meso or scroll rewards as they will boost your financial standing the most.
Strategic Questing
Prioritize quests that provide high scrolls or Mesos rewards. There are guides that provide these quests where you can maximize your profits.
Farm Items for Quest Goals
Farming for quests is also a good way to earn some Coins. Many items that are needed for quests can be sold at auction houses for a lot of Mesos.
Targeted Farming
Find sought-after products like Sapphire Aura or Diamond Ore and farm them. Even low level enemies can yield valuable resources such as Sapphire Ore from slimes.
Bosses Farming For Mesos Bags
Farming bosses offer great rewards because of Mesos bag drops. Bosses like Mano and Stumpy drop Mesos bags containing varying amounts of Mesos depending on the difficulty.
Mesos Bag Value
Bronze, silver and gold Mesos bags, which contain 1k - 120k of their value, have 1k to 120k, according to the bag’s grade. Yielding good currency while playing your regularly scheduled rounds of boss fights could significantly boost your Mesos.
Make Cost-Effective Purchases for Potions
Optimize your strategy on potions by buying from shops that have discounts. For example, Elinia sells MP potions at lower prices than other shops on Victoria Island. Ludus also sells potions of all types at a discount.
