How much does it even take?

How many mesos does meso guard even use?

I'm switching my NL to a shad soon and was just curious

i rarely use it. i have 24k hp, 203 and when i train i get hit for 2k. if i use meso guard, it reduces it to 900 but takes 1000 mesos out. pink elixers, which heals 12k to me, is easy to find and sells for 1k to npc.

Meso guard uses 10 mesos per hit taken. It reduces damage taken by 50%, and the 10 mesos consumed are dropped on the ground to be used with meso explode. You could pick them up, but it's only 10 mesos, not even worth it.

[quote=madking44]Meso Guard halves the damage inflicted by enemies regardless its level (Level 1 or Max Level). The difference is the buff duration and the amount of mesos which meso guard consumes from your inventory for reducing the damage. The percentage (example: 77% and 50%) is the amount of meso the skill will consume upon your character getting hit. The lower the %, the less money gets taken away from you. At level 1, 77% of that halved damage was being taken away from your mesos in your inventory. At level 10 now, 50% of that halved damage is being taken away now. I'll use an example for a better understanding. A monster hits you and does 2000 hp damage. Meso guard halves that damage so you receive 1000 hp damage. At level 1, 77% is taken away from the halved damage. So 77% of that 1000 is 770, which means 770 mesos gets taken away from your inventory for cutting 2k hit in halve. Now lets try level 10. we'll use 2000 hp damage again. Meso guard will halve that to 1000 hp damage received. At level 10, 50% of the mesos gets taken away from the halved damage. So 50% of that 1000 is 500, which means 500 mesos gets taken away from your inventory for cutting 2k hit in halve. This saves more meso's in the long run considering a health potion replenishes health with 1:1 ratio (1 meso to 1 HP)

Also, what made you switch? Just wondering[/quote]

Meso Guard was changed during the RED update to only use up to a max of 10 mesos regardless of the damage inflicted

I loved playing NL and all. Like it was really fun and I've been a thief fan since I could remember (before pirates came out), but I'm tired of holding Quad Throw down. Plus, I played NL now for the first time since I started playing and it was fun but I want to try Shad out now. If it's not as good, I'll probably switch back (or try DB)

I don't see how that saves money in the long run Doing Hilla and RA daily I get several hundred elixirs and power elixirs and I just use those as my pots. I don't have to spend any money on pots if I don't want to
