Hi guys. I'm thinking of bombing himes because it seems to be great exp. I already know to drop the meso on each side and then gather the himes from side to side bombing and dropping accordingly. But how much should I drop on each side? Also any other tips would help. Thanks a lot:D

I find then it is better to have a priest or bishop to mob then while you drop. You drop around 2.5k-3k with Level 1 ME

*arrives* lol loonaticaaron said: "elderwraiths is better" No they're not -__-" _____________ I use 800x30 with maxxed ME if I drop all in one pile(since I explode 20 sacks per bomb and 800x10 kills them 100%), or 800x10 in 2 diff piles if I want to save mesos(so that I can separate the two bombings). Everything I've ever fought has needed half of what it took with level 1 ME although I don't remember what I needed at himes with 1 ME. Probably 1600s. I waste about 2-2.5m per hour with maxxed ME but rake in around 4.5m exp on 1x. It may sound expensive to some, but it's worth it to me because I enjoy bombing. Try to get a priest friend to mob for you while you drop. My mom is pissed at me because I'm supposed to be off so this is where I end. Sorry if some of it didn't make sense, I was in a rush.

Now that it's morning I have more time to post and I'll try to explain it a bit better than above I don't remember how much it took with level 1 ME but I'd assume it's 2x what I use with level 30. 1600x20 should kill them if that's true but if that doesn't work you should test different amounts in the map before you start training seriously. X = The portal O = Where I usually drop My 1st method : Priest required, much faster exp, close to 0 HP/MP pots wasted(Himes drop mana elixirs very often) _XO____________________ This is with a priest mobbing for you. While they mob them all and come back, you should drop your mesos. It should be fairly easy to drop 20 sacks by the time they get back. The priest must hug the corner because the Himes will stop and use their attack from on top of the mesos. There's one problem with that though. The priest must be facing right when they're against the wall and spam heal. It helps to keep the Himes directly on your mesos resulting in the best exp. If your priest manages to get every hime to follow them, than there should be 1 Hime left after using ME 2 times because 13 himes spawn in the map when there are 2 people there. If the crow spawns, your priest will be the one near it and they can warn you and rush out of the map.. or die . My 2nd method : Costs a lot more, less exp, no priest required(easier to get started though) _XO__________________O_ You mob for yourself, drop your mesos, and explode them. I don't recommend doing this because you actually need to repot with this method and have a much higher chance of dying. I dislike bombing elder but I'd probably do it over this method. My second choice if not using the 1st method is to bomb at peak of the big nest even though its a OHKO if MG isn't on. It keeps me entertained and you have a chance of finding BS20 from the skeles. I haven't bombed skeles in so long and forgot how many mesos it took.
