Questions about Bossing

What would be an ideal level to start bossing at Papulatus and Pianus, as I need to hunt down skill books that they drop.
Other reasons for bossing:
1) It's more exciting than hunting regular mobs for them and 2) They have a higher drop rate. (Not sure about GMS though)

What is the ideal hp to start? I currently have 6.5k from potential boosts. Will I need HB, or will a HB fortune ticket (which I have many of) that adds 50% hp and 25% mp suffice? Anything I should look out for?

EDIT: I also have a 7k range. Will that do as well?

Hob King PQ's not out at Maplesea yet, although it is worth considering. I am also planning to mass cube my bergamot for SE. Also, since you recommended self-HB via pants, I take it that my Fortune Tickets (Which add a little more than decent HB, and can't be dispeled) will suffice, but (edit) I'll try to get self-
HB asap. Good idea for the ToT quests though, I still haven't done any, and I noted that Dodo drops OS30.

Kachuu Musha (Samu to myself) is out of my league though. Loads of KSers and Leech Sellers, all of them would have better equipment. I aim to try to solo one soon enough though.

7k is a great place to start for level 120. Not even I have that much, though I DO have SE gloves.

Depends on what you're bossing on for the HP, but you DEFINITELY want to get some rex earrings and some other source of HP. You should be fine at Pianus if you don't rush its body/let the booms get you. I just did it tonight. You should get HB via pants (rental or otherwise) ASAP for the hardcore bosses. If you get Rexes and HB you should be able to take on Kacchuu Musha well enough.

Papulatus will be annoying but quite easy at your level. Go for it in that case, but I suggest finishing the ToT quests before you start actively bossing. Leech friends if you must.
