Alright. I have two questions. :D First, with level 1 ME, how many bags and how much per bag should I drop at himes if I have a priest making the mob and then bringing it to me? Secondly, will they aggro and attack me with a magic attack if I'm in dark sight(without me attacking them)? Secondly, the MG description is confusing. Could someone just explain to me what changes as I add more points into this skill?

Kazegiri said: " How much you have to drop: I�m trying to get more info for more targets, but here�s what I�ve been able to gather so far. Gobies and house: 16 bags of 1.1k (with ME level 1) House only: 10 bags of 1.1k (with ME level 1) Gobies only: 6 bags of 1k (with ME level 1) Elder Wraith: 10 bags of 1.4k (with ME level 1) Himes: 10 bags of 2k (with ME level 1) Skelegons and Nest golems: 10 bags of 2.5k (with ME level 1) Ergoth: 160 bags of 5k � total of 800k (with ME level 1) In all cases, if you have max ME, you should drop half the total amount I mentioned and it should work. If you have between 1 and 30, try to find an intermediate amount. You might want to check out this table (imageshack) to see just how much cash you�ll have to explode in Gobies to get to whatever level you want to be (credits goes to the table�s author, whoever s/he is). No 16: Does Meso Guard drain your mesos? Actually, it does the opposite. For bandits, almost whichever pot you use, 1 HP will cost about 1 meso. If MG reduced damage by 50% and substracted that same amount directly from your mesos, then you would not lose cash and you would not gain cash: you�d have exactly the same result. However, MG does NOT substract the same amount from your cash, it takes LESS. At level 1, it takes 90% of the damage received from your cash. When it�s maxed, it takes only 78% of the damage reduced from your mesos, giving you a 11% discount on HP pots." As for the second question, if you don't attack them, they won't attack you. Though, I used to die because DKs/Priests were at the portal attacking, and the himes would hit me (through dark sight) instead of them. Just remember to go in with MG cast.

http://www.basilmarket.com/forum/1137770/0//Bombing_Himes.html Here's a recent thread with some info about how much is needed to bomb Himes. Links are being stupid, or I am, but I can't get them to work. XD As for MG: It always cuts damage taken in half, no matter the level. At level 1, out of the damage that MG absorbs, 90% of that damage is how many mesos you lose. For example, say a monster does 2000 damage to you when you're NOT using MG. When you ARE using MG, you only take 1000 damage. Level 1 MG would cost you 90% of this every time you were hit, so 900 mesos. Max MG would only cost you 780 mesos every time you took this 2000 damage. It's easy once you understand it, but kind of hard to explain. @_@ As you raise it, it lasts longer, and you lose less money when you get hit. It actually saves you money at any level, while saving your life.

Thanks, you guys helped a lot. :D So, is it recommended to bomb himes even with the deaths? >_>; And I'm wondering how many bags I should drop because I know that 10 bags won't kill the whole mob. I think himes make a big mob do they not?
