Monster Ball

[Pinnacle of Pineapple]

Can someone please explain to me how to use them?
It should be easy, just equip and throw. But my character keeps on attacking the target and killing it. Someone on the net wrote to hold shift and "throw" it. What am I missing? I simply do not get a throw-option unlike other objects when grabing the monsterball-item

You will need to get them down to roughly 1% hp, usually less than 10hp? but it may vary a bit if they have a lot of hp.
you have to middle click on the ball and grab it, or put it on your hotbar and similarly grab it.
if you are not playing mods then the game only hints to you if the ball is a high enough level to capture the enemy, as the monsters level must be equal to the ball or lower. I believe if the monster's level is higher it says its too hard or something similar.

if the ball lands at their feet then they are likely not low enough on hp.

Put the ball on hotbar.

I just right click the ball. It defaults to grab for me.
Then i hover over the enemy and right click to throw

[internetgrout]

Right click defaults to the last middle click action you did with that item. So be careful, it's an easy way to drink acid or blessed water you meant to apply

[flashugem]

almost like it was in poke**n games, almost kill thing, right button on ball in inventory (high lvl ball for sure) and throw in thing. If it vanish, grab ball from floor. gg. If not, throw again, or kill thing completly

[SanctionedSigher]

One extra thing. If you marked the ball as important. You cannot throw it.

Check Monster Ball Level-> This is the maximum area difficulty # you can use it in. Find an area, either a dungeon or map tile up to this number.

Find desired Monster. If playing on NONE oath, save to ensure you don't kill it.

Attack it until the bar is nearly empty, about 10% or less.

Grab, then Throw the ball just as you would any debuff potion -> it has 100% hit rate and will succeed if the hp is low enough and you didn't exceed the difficulty level.

Almost any shop they just are very uncommon/rare. General shops, black market merchants. Mini medal trade in.

You can also get Lv10 Monster Balls from the Fortune Bell casino's prize exchange NPC for 400 casino chips each.

And also, Lv20 and Lv40 variants at Miral and Garokk's Workshop for 2/5 Small Medals apiece, respectively, which sounds a bit steep.
