If you're looking to earn some solid mesos and boost your level 60+ character’s gear in MapleStory Worlds Artale, I’ve got a fantastic quest guide for you. Today, we're diving into the "Notice from the Excavation Team" quest, which is a great way to earn 6 million mesos while also scoring some potentially useful scrolls. Let’s get started and see how you can maximize your profits!

Quest Overview: "Notice from the Excavation Team"

At level 60 and above, this quest becomes available, offering a rewarding opportunity to make money and gather valuable in-game items. You’ll be tasked with eliminating a total of 200 Skeleton Soldiers, 100 Officer Skeletons, and 40 Commander Skeletons. Upon completing this quest, you'll be rewarded with a 10% scroll for weapons—specifically a Claw for attack, which currently sells for around 6 million Artale mesos on the market.

This quest is a fantastic grind for players at this level, both in terms of valuable drops and the potential for making a solid amount of mesos.

Getting to the Quest Location

First things first: to begin this quest, you’ll need to head to Perion. I’m going to show you the exact location so you don’t have to waste any time wandering around aimlessly.

    • Head to Perion – Once you're in Perion, you’ll need to travel to the far right side of the map.

    • Find the Tower – Keep an eye out for a large tower. This is where the quest begins. If you’re like me and don’t want to waste too much time walking, I recommend popping a speed pill for some extra movement speed.

    • Enter the Portal – Once you spot the tower, go ahead and enter the portal. Here, you'll find yourself in a familiar area where the real action begins.

As you continue, keep your eyes peeled for skeleton mobs—these are the guys you need to eliminate. You might even notice some valuable scrolls dropping along the way, so it's worth paying attention to your surroundings.

Quest Objectives and Farming Locations

Once you’re in the right area, you'll be tasked with defeating specific types of skeletons:

    • 200 Skeleton Soldiers

    • 100 Officer Skeletons

    • 40 Commander Skeletons

The key here is to track down the right mobs and farm them efficiently. Here's a quick breakdown of what you need to know about each type:

    • Skeleton Soldiers: These are the basic mobs in the area. They spawn frequently and drop a variety of scrolls, but they are not as valuable as the other types.

    • Officer Skeletons: These drop more valuable scrolls, including Gloves for Attack (60%), which can be worth quite a bit—around 5 million mesos if you manage to sell one.

    • Commander Skeletons: These are the heavy hitters. Not only do they give you a decent amount of experience, but they also drop valuable scrolls like Armor for Level 60% and Top Bear for Strength 100%. These are great to keep or sell on the market.

Once you've located the correct mobs, you’ll want to grind them out. I found that completing the task took around 15-20 minutes, which is a solid return on time invested. My character (a Cleric) barely used any potions during this process—it's one of the perks of playing a class with strong healing abilities!

Efficient Farming Tips

While farming, you’ll come across a few areas where the mobs spawn. The key to being efficient here is knowing the best spots for each type of skeleton.

    • Skeleton Soldiers: These can be found in the initial areas of the map and should be easy to knock out. They won’t take too long to defeat, but you’ll need to defeat a large number of them to complete the quest.

    • Officer Skeletons: These spawn a bit further in, so you’ll need to move towards the next map area to continue hunting them.

    • Commander Skeletons: These require a little more precision. The ideal map for farming them is the “Cliff” map, where the Commander Skeletons spawn, but be careful! If you fall off the map, you’ll be sent back to the previous area.

The key here is to avoid falling off the cliff while hunting the Commander Skeletons—falling can be annoying and waste time.

Scroll Drops and Profit Potential

While grinding for the skeletons, you’ll pick up various valuable scrolls that can be sold on the market. Here are some of the most noteworthy ones:

    • Gloves for Attack 60% (Officer Skeleton Drop): This is one of the better drops, with a value of around 5 million mesos.

    • Armor for Level 60% (Commander Skeleton Drop): This scroll is even more valuable, often selling for around 6 million mesos.

    • Top Bear for Strength 100% (Commander Skeleton Drop): This can be sold for 1.5 million mesos and is a good find, although it’s not as highly sought after as some of the other scrolls.

These scrolls can sell quickly, especially if you post them in bundles. For example, I personally like to sell two of the same scroll at once because people are more likely to buy them in bulk. This increases the chances of your scrolls selling fast and at a good price.

Returning to Sean and Completing the Quest

Once you’ve collected all the necessary skeleton kills and scroll drops, it’s time to head back to the quest giver, Sean, to turn in your items. Make sure to select the "Claw for Attack" 10% scroll as your reward, as it's currently one of the most valuable scrolls available through this quest.

You’ll then be able to sell the Claw for Attack Scroll and any additional drops you’ve collected from the skeletons. The price can vary, but I’ve personally been able to sell them for around 6 million mesos each.

Final Thoughts: A Rewarding Quest for Level 60+ Players

The "Notice from the Excavation Team" quest is one of the best ways to make mesos as a level 60+ character in MapleStory Worlds Artale. Not only is it a quick and straightforward quest to complete, but it also rewards you with valuable scrolls that can be sold for a nice chunk of change. Whether you’re looking to upgrade your gear or simply want to earn some mesos for other investments, this quest is a great addition to your routine.

With efficient farming and smart selling strategies, you can easily rake in a substantial profit and enhance your gameplay experience. So, what are you waiting for? Head to Perion, take on those skeletons, and start reaping the rewards today!
