Monster ball question

[konn]

Can I use a monster ball again after successfully capturing something? It seems expensive. I want to try and be a slave dealer that deals in captured monsters without using love potions or other cheesing/non-RP friendly method.

No. The ball is permanently changed to the captured version, which once thrown is expended.

its like pokemon
if u throw a ball its gone
if u capture something the ball is gone

You can sell slaves by doing quests in any town. Just stick to one to raise the affinity of quest givers "faster", still takes a lot of time and effort tho.
Butr once you reach the 75 affinity needed, invite them to your base.
Before you do that tho, strip everything from their inventory and talk to them to NOT use shared equipment. Then send em home.
Back home put a sales tag onto them. Profit.
However its just a tiny bonus once you get back home from your journey.

To put some rough numbers to this (prices i get without slaver license, iirc):
- guards 1k2+
- citiziens 350+
- bookshop trader 430+

No it's not. It can be picked up again if it doesn't capture the target.

Thanks for the clarifications. That sucks. Wish we can craft balls ourselves for cheap.

Seems like hard work for not that much and I'm mainly looking for monster traders though. And this somehow reminds me of a "talent recruiter" trying to pick up chicks at Shibuya or something xD
