Monsters with useful drops, levels 14 to 40

Classic drop rates are not measured yet. The percentages on this site come from an older version of the game or are marked as estimates. The drops listed here are the ones players have reported.

• Green Mushroom Level 14. Claw Attack Scroll (Intermediate), Fragment of Magic.
• Blue Mushroom Level 19. Gloves Crit. Rate Scroll (Greater).
• Dark Axe Stump Level 23. Wooden Top throwing stars.
• Zombie Mushroom Level 24. Claw Attack Scroll (Intermediate), Spear Attack Scroll (Greater). Ant Tunnel is the usual place to hunt it.
• Fire Boar Level 32. Earring STR Scroll (Greater) and many equipment drops.
• Jr. Wraith Level 34. Mokbi Throwing Stars.
• Mushmom Level 40, area boss. Ilbi Throwing Stars, Gloves Attack Scroll (Intermediate).

In our data, Ilbi Throwing Stars drop only from Mushmom and Zombie Mushmom.

Before selling a drop to an NPC, check what other players pay for it. Scrolls that sell quickly, such as these, are worth tracking:

• Claw Attack Scroll: Intermediate Dropped by Green Mushroom and Zombie Mushroom.
• Gloves Attack Scroll: Intermediate Dropped by Mushmom.
• Gloves Crit. Rate Scroll: Greater Dropped by Blue Mushroom.

Potions and food: HP and MP per meso

Meat

160 HP for 80 mesos

Red Potion

100 HP for 50 mesos

Orange Potion

250 HP for 150 mesos

Lemon

150 MP for 150 mesos

• Meat 2.0 HP per meso.
• Red Potion 2.0 HP per meso.
• Apple 20 mesos for 40 HP. 2.0 HP per meso.
• Egg 30 mesos for 60 HP. 2.0 HP per meso.
• Orange Potion 1.7 HP per meso.
• Lemon 1.0 MP per meso.

Meat, Red Potions, apples and eggs all give 2 HP per meso. The Orange Potion gives 1.7. A hit that does 50 damage costs about 25 mesos to heal with Meat, so avoiding damage saves mesos directly. Ranged classes can stay out of reach of most monsters more easily.

Crafting materials worth keeping

Many early drops sell to NPCs for 10 mesos but are used in crafting. The item page of each drop lists the recipes that use it.

• Fragment of Magic NPC price 10 mesos. Used in 24 recipes. Dropped by Green Mushroom and Octopus.
• Leather NPC price 10 mesos. 5 Leather make Processed Leather, which is used in 101 recipes.
• Pig's Ribbon NPC price 10 mesos. 10 Pig's Ribbons make Processed Cloth, which is used in 57 recipes.

Arrows are the easiest recipe to profit from. The prices below are what an NPC pays for the arrows and the materials, so they are a minimum:

• Iron Arrows for Bows Skill level 7. 500 arrows worth 1,000 mesos from materials worth about 120. Margin about 880.
• Mithril Arrows for Crossbows Skill level 10. Margin about 1,170 per batch.
• Adamantium Arrows for Bows Skill level 10. Margin about 1,070 per batch.

All recipes: crafting.

Equipment spending

Buying armor early leaves too little for potions. Spend on the weapon first and upgrade it when the next tier unlocks, about every five levels. Armor can wait, or you can craft it from drops instead of buying it. See equipment for requirements by slot.
