Killing bats: 1 confringo = 2 ingravs ?

[Relax]

I'm able to kill bats in single attack of #confringo but it's requiring 2 lightning bolts of #ingrav to kill bats. Does #confringo do more damage than #ingrav?

Lvl 61, Int: 99+1 = 100, Magic Attack = 248

Also, in status window, my damage-per-second without any spell is 88 but after casting #confringo it becomes 49 and after casting #ingrav it becomes 19.

Even as an archer of lvl 30, I was able to kill bats with single arrow from Forest Bow. Now lvl 61 mage is requring 2 lighting bolts with Wooden Staff.

First, #confringo was meant to make the farm mobs easier; bats, slimes, fire goblins, etc. So Mages can acquire reagents faster, easier, & cheaper. As the range of Confringo and Mana Consumption makes it hard to be more effective than #ingrav on larger more dangerous mobs. In addition, #ingrav is an elemental attack vs. #confringo is not elemental making #ingrav far more useful against certain mobs.

Whether or not you are focused for Astral projection effects the damage done as well.

Thanks , I didn't know this game has elements. I shifted to mage because monster reference wiki ( https://www.themanaworld.org/index.php/ ... _Reference ) shows skeleton types to be having less magic defence than normal-defence. So I thought that on lady-skeletons etc., mage will have advantage.

I've already shared that on bats, confringo was giving more damage. After my post, I farmed grass snakes and found that on grass snakes ingrav is giving more damage. Wushin you said that confringo is not elemental, but then doesn't following code mean confringo does more damage on neutral element monsters:

Code: Select all

(CALL elt_damage target damage damage_bonus ELT_NEUTRAL ELT_NEUTRAL 5)

Someone told me that for archers, with greater distance, the damage increases. Is this applicable on ingrav also?

Which monster is best for killing with ingrav/confringo for fast leveling?

[wushin]

Yeah, I meant elemental in the sense of not Fire,Water,Air,etc but neutral the default element.

Most people seem to be figuring out #confringo yellow slimes, then go #ingrav skeles.
