Why do we like to bash?

     1) It can generate a lot of gold.                        

                 2) It gives us essence to offer our God.                        

                                                       3) It is the fastest method for gaining experience.                                              

 

 This webpage is dedicated to the bashers of Achaea. A basher is defined as someone who

likes to "bash" or "hunt" the creatures and/or denizens of the realm. The term "mob" is short for "mobile". 

This page is filled with information that I hope you will find useful and informative.

 

Everyone, essentially, is a basher because we all advance in levels and experience, but a "real" basher is not just someone who is high in level.

The distinctive basher is the one who is dedicated enough to invest both the time and effort even when they have died to the Demons Lag and

Disconnect and are not so easily discouraged upon heavy losses. What makes a basher a basher, at least by my own standards, is not how few times

you have died or what you can kill, but the fact that by some drive in you, you find yourself bashing again and again even after all or any misfortunes. 

The only real good advice anyone can offer you is that the key element to any good basher is patience. If you're going to stick it out

and not be dragged down in stagnancy through lack of motivation or laziness, you're going to make it. If there's a will, there's a way. That's really all there is to it.

    

 

When you PROBE a mobile, you see beneath its description a list of things

 such as its weight, its loyalty (if any), what is in it (if anything), as well as a

general assessment of its strength. These "strength lines" have been organized

and compiled for you in a loose order from strongest to weakest. (Please also

read HELP CONSIDER within the realms...didn't realize this file was here, heh.)

 

STRONGEST

Glows with nearly godlike power

Does not even administer/register your presence as a threat

Exudes an aura of overwhelming power
Air of Extreme Stength
Crushingly Strong
Extraordinarily strong

Quite powerful
Not one to be trifled with
Seems strong and confident
Exudes a quiet confidence

Seems to be unafraid
Appears to lack strength

Does not look particularly dangerous

A humble-looking creature

Relatively helpless
Weak and feeble
WEAKEST

 

NOTE: This line only assesses the general strength and attack

 speed of the mob. It does NOT take into account the fact

 that a mob teams or its difficulty in regards to afflictions. It is

 also on an absolute scale, meaning it is the same for everyone

 and it is not a personal assessment.

 

  

 

 

While I cannot exactly tell you my bashing routine (part of the
strategy of bashing is having availability of mobs) here is a list
actually offered by Sarapis awhile back. This is a rough
estimation of level range, so when you assess which category
you are, take into consideration factors such as race (different
max hp), mobs that team, and if you are unsure, probe the
creature for its relative strength (i.e. "seems strong and confident").

This is a giant list of things commonly bashed and the amount of essence they

are worth when offered to a God via a shrine. Something to notice: generally

the harder the mob is to kill, the more essence it is worth. It is updated

when I have time to do these tedious things. *grin*
