Talk:The Themthar Hills

A couple notes: It's not always 1000+ meat. I've gotten less than 1000 meat a few times. Also, the leprechaun familiar (and, presumably, other +meat drop items/skills/familiars) does increase the amount of meat, so I think it's safe to say that it's not the case that it's really 0, even if that's how much you come out with.

If you're doing this sidequest, you'll need about 100,000 meat from these enemies, and +meat drop things do help speed up the process here. --Sparksol 22:40, 2 July 2007 (CDT)

Does it seem that there is a maximum cap on the amount of meat you can get? I was using a 25 lb leprechaun and the Baron's money clip and was getting around 2400-2600 meat per fight. I switched equipment to add a Meatspout staff and the rabbit's foot (which should have added another 22%) but my meat drops stayed in the 2400-2600 range. I admit that I only did about a dozen combats with the new setup so it is possible it was just bad RNG luck, but I seem to be maxing out in the vicinity of 2500 meat. Has anyone seen anything substantially higher than that? -- Tanstaafl 12:10, 24 July 2007 (CDT)

• getting about 4k-7k right now with: - 35 lb.s of cheshire bat (leprechaun),

- wasabi sinuses (knob goblin nasal spray) - sticky fingers (bag of cheat-os) - Make Meat Fast (clan buff) - Polka of Plenty - 2 x Bottle-rocket Crossbows - duct tape shirt - pulled porquoise pendant - order of the silver wossname. I have the annoy-a-tron set to 10. Firing orange bottle-rockets didn't seem to have an effect on meat recovery (49xx). Setting the annoy-a-tron to 0 and firing black bottle-rockets did not seem to affect meat recovery (5446) --Snikrepkire 16:54, 11 December 2007 (CST)

• Yeah, using a 15(ish?) pound leprechaun plus two bottle-rocket crossbows, a Ye Olde Navy fleece, a pulled porqouise pendant, a Baron von Ratsworth's moneyclip, plus polka of plenty, passive gnome meat increase skill, and passive disco bandit meat increase skill, I consistently saw 3200-3600 drops.--AAAC 12:24, 31 July 2007 (CDT)

• The page says that you get 400-1200 meat. As I have noticed, It's more like 800-1200, except for the last adventure, where it is most possible 'the last bit of 100,000'. My question: Am I right?, and if so, does the 800-1200 meatdrop give more information than the meatdrop-bound now shown? (with adding a note, ofcourse) --Mercantilia 11:18, 18 August 2007 (CDT)
• I'm fairly sure you're correct. I've just gone through with two multis and 0% meat drop bonus and didn't get anything below 825 meat or anything above 1200. 400 just seems far too low.--Sir Spanky 16:16, 22 November 2007 (CST)

Does Cocoabo money help for this quest or does it only help your wallet? -- Alphacow 10:17, 20 August 2007 (CDT)

• According to the dirty thieving brigand page, it does not contribute towards the quest. --Bagatelle 19:12, 20 August 2007 (CDT)
• I must not agree, just went though the process myself and it did contribute. --Thekyz 05:31, 5 June 2008 (CDT)

reaccessibility

The Themthar Hills seem to be accessible via the last adventure link after the Island quest is completed, if one did not complete the side-quest during the war but adventured there just before beating either the Man or the Big Wisneiwski. Standard messages still appear and Sisters still take meat from you. I haven't tried out a meat vortex on them yet because I'm in HC and can't get one without losing the last adventure link, and I'm not prepared to do that yet. --Lord Swampy 01:47, 25 February 2008 (CST)

Cocoabo money contributes only to your own wallet

Removed from monster note

|note2=A meat vortex works on these bandits and does not contribute towards the quest total, but goes into your wallet. Since the bandits carry so much Meat, is is very profitable to buy meat vortices at low prices and use them against the bandits in combat. Afterwards, the brigand can be CLEESHed to prevent quest completion.

This nets you 500 meat per turn (on average) minus the cost of a Meat Vortex, due to meat vortices being based on base meat and (I presume) triangly distributed. Also, meat vortices have a minimum mall price of 114 meat, so that's a profit of 386 meat per turn and hardly any stats or items. A 20lb Leprechaun in the Castle is 300 meat + item drops, and the autosell/use value of the mandatory noncombats are either 252 or above 500. It's trivial to make a better profit in the Castle. --Raijinili 11:13, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
