I've been questing with a guy recently, who's wearing an Imacaci Mask....And I've been thinking of something. First, here are my options:
1. When you panic a guy you want to kill, like a Gladiator in Hie Brasil, or Warrior in Azteca, you try to kill him again anyway, figuring that the majority of the time you should be able to catch up to him, and kill him.
2. When you panic a guy you want to kill, you run away. You lose the Gladiator, or whoever it is, and lose a possibility at a silver/crystal or whatever, but you get your quest back, which could be used to fight another, unpanicked, enemy. The risk is that you'll instead get another harpy or something instead of the guy you want, so you have to weigh the possibility of getting the guy on your extra quest, versus the possibility of running after him and catching him..
Ok, so my question is this: What do you guys think? Is the first option better, or the second? Why? Or are there good/bad things about both options? Got a third idea? Would love to know....
Thanks!

Yea, option 3 = don't use Panic.
Otherwise, use option 1. I'm not sure if there is a guarantee that you will gain a quest, but even if there is there's no guarantee that the next monster won't run or get panic as well. Just kill 'em even if they're all panicky is my opinion.

yeah I actually wasn't looking for advice, just what you thought, but thanks And yeah I agree that Panic sucks, I've since switched him for a spikey, but yeah was just sorta sending feelers out to see which option looked like it would give you the most quests....

idealy, , u try to quest in areas u can kill ur favorites foes in ONE HIT ! (then using gear with panic dosent matter at all)
when my lowest charies using panic gear, cant kill in one hit , , I always pursue and try to hit it (all ww charies shud have few skills to catch runners (agile and trader help catching those running away) once u can kill in one hit the most rewarding foes, , using gear with panic shudnt bother much.

I'm with sirinnu, make sure you've got enough attack and skill to kill those monsters in one hit. I've got a char with ~4.3k skill and has panic on him and he does fine in azteca

I have a question about this that sirinnu brought up. Is there a better chance for item drop when you kill the foe in one hit?

i wouldn't think so, drop chances are random...

I don't know if the word "technically" is appropriate, but, drop chance is not random in the sense there is a % chance on most (if not all) weapon drop. Items are a bit trickier...

Killing a foe in one hit, prevents them from having opportunity to escape on the second hit. In that sense, you will find more items if you can kill in one hit
