I got unlucky somewhere and died. The DK and Priest died minutes after Pap was summoned..

Solo it once, by yourself. I read a guide on how to do it with a LIce Mage, and here's what I got from it: 1. Lure Papulatus all the way to the right. You probably need to be able to KB for this, and if you can't KB Pap, then I guess there's no hope for soloing by yourself. xd 2. Once he starts summoning bombs, drop to the bottom. Kill all the bombs on the bottom, leave the ones on the top as they are. Don't jump while you're doing this. Pap will eventually hit the bomb-summon limit and not be able to summon any more. Apparently, when he's pushed up against the wall all the way to the right, the bombs he summons, if they're not on the bottom, are always on the two larger, right-most plaftorms. 3. Lure Pap all the way to the left. I'd suppose not for here, since you're a CB. So you'd lure him to the platform right next to the rope, because that's where the LIce mage would have killed the 1st body from, and where you're going to be dropping and exploding koinz. ...So pretty much just go to that platform and start dropping koinz? And when he comes near, BOOMBOOMBOOMBOOM. 4. 2nd body, more koinz explody. I don't know what kind of damage Pap would do to you as a CB, but pretty much it's just a lot of luring to force the bombs to spawn and stay at a certain place where they can't hurt you, then staying out of range of those bombs. DISCLAIMER: I haven't actually tried Pap. This is just what I gather from a Pap-solo guide for LIce mages I happened by on sw.net.

I dropped a total of 200k, each bag containing 10k bags.. ~76,253 ~74,189 ~72,977 ~84,096 ~67,136 Total? 374,645 damage.. I think. Let's be safe and estimate each 200k is equivalent to 250k damage. It would cost 800k to deal 1mil damage to Papulatus. It would cost 23 times that to entirely kill Papulatus. Which would be 18mil? Okay, so let's say each 200k is equivalent to 300k damage. It would cost 800k to deal 1.2mil damage to Papulatus. So it would cost no more than 20 times that to entirely kill Papulatus. I believe that would cost.. 16mil? Suppose I drop 200k and deal 350k damage to Papulatus.. It would cost 800k to deal 1.4mil damage to Papulatus. It would cost no more than 17 times to kill Papulatus. It would cost 13.6mil? Let's say the damage is consistant.. ranging from 350k~400k damage. The average would be 375k damage. So for 200k, I can deal 375k damage to Papulatus. For 800k, I can deal 1.5mil damage to Papulatus. For no more than 16 times that, it would kill Papulatus. It would cost 12.8mil. Although this may be a bit hefty price to pay, the less mesos I use, the more efficiency I get out of this, although in a stretch, I might not last as long. I'm considering to use 8k~12k bags to drop. Perhaps 8k bags to keep the rate of efficiency going as well as save some mesos. Big day tomorrow when I come back. <3

That makes me think of the optimization problems I'm doing for homework. If Tuyen uses ____ mesos to deal ____ damage if he drops his money in bags of __ mesos, and ____ mesos can deal ____ damage if dropped in bags of ___, etc, how many mesos should be blown up to maximize the damage while minimizing the cost?
XD

26 hours? D: Poor Jing. Shisuta spams too much. ;o;
Bring a Priest instead of soloing it.
