Meso making

This guide ranks the monsters by the meso a kill is worth: the meso bag it drops and what its other drops sell for at a shop. The table is built from the game's own monster and item data each time the site is made.

Overview

A kill pays in two ways (drops and meso):

• The meso bag: an amount from 80% to 120% of the monster's meso value, dropped on 80% of kills.
• Drops to sell: every item a shop buys pays its sell price, the item table's price. Equipment drops are rare, but a piece sells for far more than most other items.

Meso per kill in the table is the average of both: the middle of the bag's range times 0.8, plus each drop's sell price times its real chance per kill. Per 100 HP divides that by the monster's HP, which favours monsters that die quickly. The chances are the real odds of the game's random numbers before the hero's level bonus, so a higher level earns slightly more.

Quest items are counted at their sell price too, though a quest that asks for them may pay more.

Spending less

• Stars: a shop refills an emptied stack for one star's price times the missing stars, a small fraction of a new stack's price: a full refill of Subi Throwing-Stars costs 40 meso, a new stack 170. Keep the empty stack and recharge it (potions and scrolls).
• Potions sell back for much less than they cost: Red Potion costs 15 meso in a shop and sells for 5.
• Dying costs a tenth of the hero's meso on the way back to town (death and revives).
