MabiPro: The Authentic Old-School Mabinogi Experience

It has been several months since A1S2 has been released, and thus, since the advent of the black smoke that spawns in Courcle.

It's my understanding that many people have tried to kill the black smoke (hereby referred to as "smokey") to no avail. I've been told that spamming life drains is one way of damaging the smoke but that not much else has yielded results, and lifedrain seems pretty ineffective despite it dealing damage. I've been told slapping with brionacs over and over is also futile.

Since this doesn't look like a secret that is gonna be uncovered anytime soon, if ever, given the server's past efforts (to my knowledge) not yet yielding a kill.

Could we possibly get a hint from the staff as to how to kill this thing? Otherwise, any players have something to contribute to the discussion regarding how to kill smokey that I am missing?

While it could conceivably be damaged, the entity described as "Mr. Smokey" is an environmental feature, not a straight-up field boss. Its purpose has yet to become clear...
