To Instant Banish or Attack Monsters from New Monster Event?

Hi there,
There are a whole lot of new creatures to banish with this new event that started today. One of them, the phantom knight, when you click on it, you get the choice to instant banish or attack. does anyone know if there is an advantage to either of the choices? Thanks!!!

I haven't really understood the concept myself, but there is a relating answer in the "updates" section in the "the new quests and zombies...." thread about that.

Basically you have the option to either collect all 10 of the banishing item or as you collect one go and use it, it doesn't really make any difference as you have to "battle" 10 times to banish the monster.

Same here, I need to calm down a bit, I used up banishing items on others manors that I now need for my own quests :-(

I'm so excited to actually have quests that I want to race through them at breakneck speed. Good thing I have plans today and that my battery started going low. I need a break before my eyes cross.

Thanks for the info and tip to read the other thread. Boy, did I realize I approached this whole thing incorrectly! I was a banishing fool and didn't know more quests were to come. ugh, so hard to complete the quests now. I will definitely not be so eager to complete next time. I'll wait a bit and check this site for tips/info on how to approach a new event/ quest. It's always so helpful!

I think the option of attacking is better, I've found in my friends manors monsters that are partially attacked. I've been able to complete some of the quests a lot cheaper than it would be if I had to banish them all fully. I found a phantom knight in my friends manor at 1/10, so I was able to complete the quest with only 10 magic salts rather than 100. Currently I'm working on the dark nights of the abyss quest so I have a dark knight down to 1/10 and am looking for someone with a partially banished knight as well.

That's awesome, Kelly! Thanks for the tip!!

Hi Kelly, How do you tell if a monster is partially banished?

I just tap on them at my friends manors, if they are partially banished they will say something like 1/10 or 4/5. If it is 1/10 then you only need to attack once to banish it. If it is at 4 then you would need to attack it 4 times.

I found the same but was hesitant to banish them, thinking that if my friend had already done most of the work it would be really "unfriendly" to pick the reward right in front of his eyes. Did you ask before you did it?
I know, my friend wouldn't know wich friend snatched his weakened baddie, but I would feel bad about it.
or is it maybe that some of them seem are just weaker than others?

What you do to a friend's creatures will not have any permanent effects, so don't worry, the reward will not disappear. Remember, when you would banish gypsies or ninjas at a friend's manor, they would disappear, but when you go next door and back again, the creatures are still there? Same thing for monsters.

I purposely left my monsters weak for my friends to banish. I banished my last ones at another manor, so mine didn't disappear from my manor even after my quests were done. Their strength still remains at the lowest point.

Oh, thanks for that!!! - I'm off to search some stupid weak zombies then!
