Can it steal mesos from monsters as well, or only items? EDIT: Say I were to use it in LMPQ on a Tauromacis.. a) How many coupons would I steal? b) Could it still drop coupons after being killed if I were to steal from it?

The only reason i like steal is because there is no logic behind it. If you tear out a drake skull, The drake is still alive. OT: I forgot to say; Do you remeber the christmas/new year patch last year? That sock that would drop presents after you kill it? Forget killing it, Spam Steal and wait for the present to drop (it counts a common).

Doesn't work on bosses. If u use steal and it drops something it won't drop it again. I wudnt recommend maxing it, I regret it.

For some monsters you can steal something + kill and get something. (EX: drake skull thing) For some monsters you can only steal successfully once + kill drops nothing more (EX: all PQ monsters)

Useful for LMPQ, apparently. I've only ever found it useful for getting those Phantom Seeds from Phantom Forest Trees. Otherwise, it's useless. 1Ghost1 said: "yep, spoken like a true money saving cb, after all meso explosion is expensive, gotta save where ever you can lol" Only nibbly nubs use Meso Explosion. Overrated and ultimately crap skill.

The extra recovery saved me every 40sec or so because I could cast meso guard and without that I would have died.

Har...har... Meso Explosion is the ultimate PQ skill. Not overrated to most people and I'd challenge the title of it being a "crap skill". I don't regret maxing it at my level :D And to the topic starter: you should probably get steal/not get steal according to your training habits. Do you usually PQ or train? If you PQ, get steal. If you train, get endure.

Either way, there's a lot more fun and interesting ways to kill stuff other than using Meso Explosion as a Chief Bandit, and the skill becomes 99% redundant the moment you become a Shadower.

It's pretty useless, you get the same drops as if you would have just killed it. Looks cool though

Yep, that's why we have a whole heckuva lot of other skills to use. Shadowers don't ME 99% of the time... do they?

Tundrical said: "NONONNONONO go for endure it saves yoru pots and plus steal uis pretty useless" Saves pots? Endure at... Level 20: Additional recovery of HP +60, MP +20 every 10 seconds Let's calculate this out. With one minute of Maxed Endure, you'll heal 360 HP. 360 HP healed every minute, multiplied by 60 minutes. That comes to 21,600. You'd heal 21,600 HP every...Hour. MP is even less. Let's say you're an extremely low-level Bandit using White Potions. They cost 320 mesos each. Each of them heal 300 HP. 21,600 divided by 300 = 72 White Pots. That's how much you're saving hourly on HP alone, not including MP. 72 white pots times 320 mesos = 23,040 mesos. Now...Nexon commonly implements events and Giant Town Monsters, like the Christmas Sock Boss. An item possible to steal from it is the Christmas Box. This is true, since the Sock doesn't count as an actual boss like Zakum. My brother was doing this throughout the entire event. Each box at the time was approximately 500k-1.5M, depending on the color. ...Now, seeing those numbers, do YOU think it's worth it to max Endure? Or get Steal and benefit more from events like that. Not to mention, it'll help you get etc. items from monsters for quests as well. If you REALLY need to save...72 white pots PER HOUR...Then I GUESS you should Max Endure instead. White pots are only used at lower levels by the way, later on...CB's tend to use Unagies/Barbarian Elixirs. Thus rendering Endure, a skill that heal 21,600 HP every hour...Useless.
