    Here's a small grinding tip for me that can be added to the grinding tab:
    Once you can do the shaolin entry prequest, you should go and grind in golden monks:
    Golden monks give 36540 exp per kill. To bomb them consistently with 20 bags, i found 2.5k bags to be the most consistent.
    Normally, you'd only be able to bomb 4~5 at best in the lower floor, which nets you around 172800~207360 exp per 20 bags. But using this trick, you can get a consistent 5~6 mobs every time, or even 6 every time if you time your bomb well:


    As you can see, on the cupboard, there's an open drawer that you can drop your mesos on, so all you need to do it aggro the mobs in the lower floor, go into dark sight, drop 20 bags, and wait for when they are all in range.
    This will net 207360~241,920 EXP per bombing.
    Fyi, when you do the CTRL + V meso throwing, it always start with a 2.5k bag, 10 meso coin, and the rest 2.5k meso bags, so in reality, you only bomb 19 meso bags and 10 meso.
    So the exp gains in this area is: 47510 meso = 207360~241,920
    An exp ratio of 4.36~5.09, which straight up DWARFS the meso to exp ratio of BF, and doesn't require searching for a boss. Its also a lot more easy to do than the Crimson Guards grind, as they don't have debuffs, and their touch damage is 2k hp at best.

    [after playing around with this more, i think 2.6k might be more consistent, but even then its still only 49,410 meso per bombing. Also, to save time, you should throw the meso in advance between respawns]

    for macroing, why not have boomerang step come before dark sight --> assassinate? is there a specific reason it goes after assassinate?

    this is assuming low ping, i can't cast BS after dark sight personally

    If the macro ends with assa, unless you chain it to the next skill or manually stop the 4th assa dash, you'll end up dashing into boss. This is especially annoying if you're multiclienting and you try to tab/click somewhere else after pressing your macro. I use the high-ping macro ds-bs-ass and the problem with the macro ending with assa is super annoying, I don't see why you'd want to end macro with assa when you don't have to. Whatever feels most comfortable for you is best though.

    Are there any Zak guides about optimal DPS output as a Shadower?

    You should probably max keen eyes in 1st job cause claws are the better weapon in event bosses due to their range.

    There is also the Christmas boss where you can only use a claw and having extra range would be a significant advantage

    Any chance for a video demonstration of meso bombing at crimson guardians? The pics are nice but it'd be nice to see how its done.

    Here are the skills that I went for outside of the obvious core skills:

    1st job -> MAX Nimble Body + 8 Keen Eyes + 1 Lucky7 for events > 10 Double Stab
    2nd job -> MAX Steal > 11 Savage Blow
    3rd job -> MAX Chakra for Dojo, 21 Savage Blow (6 hits), MAX Endure (More useful than Shield Mastery/PP)
    4th job -> Lvl 120: 1 BStep 1 Assassinate 1 Smoke -> MAX Bstep -> Max Assassinate -> Max Shifter -> Max Smoke -> HT Ready :)
