Can anyone give me tips on how to make meso? I just recently (last night) made 50k on selling a scroll and am down to 9k right now, even after selling my lv 20 clothes I am still only 9k. (I'm lv 25) I just did Jane and the Wild Boar Quest and got a claw scroll so thats about 650-800k right there, but thats the only way I make money, selling things... I kill horned mush and Zombie Mush (2-3 hits) and spend most of my money on HP pots and MP pots (20 orange and 100 blue every refill)... Any tips?

3-4-5 hits is going to level you much slower than 1-2 hits, because hit points grow much faster than experience. Also, you'll take far more damage from higher-level monsters, and probably require more potions. Let's compare: Say you do 100 damage per hit. You can train on: Orange Mushrooms (1 hit, 80 HP): 15 exp or 15 exp per hit Octopus (2 hits, 200 HP): 24 exp, or 12 exp per hit Horned Mushrooms (3 hits, 300 HP): 35 exp, or 11.7 exp per hit Zombie Mushrooms (5 hits, 500 HP): 42 exp, or 6.4 exp per hit Now, assuming you can find places where these monsters spawn at a decent rate - not hard to do - which would you be better off training on if you do 100 damage per hit? The orange mushrooms are the fastest to level up on, and the safest in terms of damage taken. To power-level, you don't want to train on monsters that need 3-4-5 hits; you want to use potions so that you can kill them in 1-2 hits. As a warrior, using powerstrike instead of a regular attack allows you to hunt monsters you can normally kill in 3-4 hits as 1-2 hit monsters, for example. Sure, you take more damage, but you level up much more quickly. But fighting monsters that are hard just doesn't pay off.

Oh and DeathPsycho, it depends where you level. 3-4-5 hits isn't always that great either. The monsters could be too strong, or there might be to much of a spawn there and you getting hit too much, then you'd just be wasting money. I prefer 2 hit spots, 3 is ok, 4/5 hits is just too much, thats just slower leveling and wasting money, unless your having fun.
