Confused about confusion.... oO

[Urgat]

OK, so... long time player here, and slightly embarased that i need to be askling this...


So my bard is getting up to speed, juyst a couple more items for the template etc, and i decided to try some scroll farming with him...

Is specced 47 music, 43 nurt... so i have the very excellent and amusing "Confusion" spell.

However... ill be balloxed if i can figure out how to farm items with it reliably...

I was under the impression that if i confused two creatures, when one killed the other, i would get the drops (and a reduced amount of exp)... this does not seem to happen reliabley, if at all.

I have tried...

just confusing them both once, and letting em duke it out...
Re applying the confusion throughout the fight...
Confusing them then joining in to help one of them...
Confusing them then nuking both once...

Oo

Does anyone have any idea how to use confusion to reliabley recieve drops from mobs that are fioghting each other... i am SURE i have heard people talk about using it this way... How the hell does confusion work??? Oo

If it helps i have the champ nukes too.

Dont think you ever get drops/exp from confusing a mob, cept when you help in melee and do more damage than the mob you confused.
Would also be a bit nasty if you could exp through confuse as you could just confuse an entire pile of mobs and just /afk 1 min and gain loads of exp.

It's still a good tool to get rid off arti campers (less of a problem now but was quite a problem) atleast with a Sorc, Charm Gorgon, buff it to the max, ML9 it, release it next to Mr 24/7 camper and confuse it, works wonders

It's not a whole lot of use. Think one or two encounters where there's lots of mobs u just want to keep occupied it's handy for, but tbh most situations it might be useful in they made the mobs immune to confusion.

And that's considered grieving, for obvious reasons.
