Cash Shop



The Cash Shop is an in-game location that takes you to a store interface that's unlike the stores that open from an NPC. Unlike other shops, the currency used at the Cash Shop is NX cash, which must be purchased with real money.

This shop sells a variety of unique items that characters that have many different uses. Players can buy clothes that mask over equips in game, such as overalls, shirts, pants, skirts, weapons, gloves, rings, shields, capes, and hats. Other items sold include special effects, wedding tickets, store coupons, pets, and plenty of other useful items. Most of the items in the Cash Shop are only temporary, and will expire after a preset amount of time (usually 90 days).

NX cash can be purchased using real money at department and convience stores, or with a credit card. As MapleStory is a free game, the Cash Shop is Nexon's primary source of income from the game. Despite this, the Cash Shop remains completely optional, and it is entirely possible to enjoy MapleStory without ever using the Cash Shop.
