ouch...that's never an enjoyable occurance. there's always the barrels and stat work out spots... as for the skeletons, super excited! I wonder if they'll have five tomorrow. That seems to be the trend... add one each day and require even more +ML to get them. It certainly makes farming for chips a bit easier when there's a chance that they'll drop four today as opposed to the one chip drop at the start
Also, I recommend using slimy sweetbreads and the tube booze to easily reach +50 ML and i'm sure they're cheap if you don't have any at the moment. It keeps your gear slots open for the +item stuffs :-p Unless you have a better method... which i would be happy to utilize (:
