/nod.... Musks are slower to get, but Hyp Potions are pretty easy to bribe a bunch for .. not really alot of money.

For Musks, I stole from flying monsters in various places... til I got confident enough to steal from omega ruins versions, which seem to give the most musks...

I usually steal 8-10 musks a battle down there from one eye, then kill it and look around a bit more.

Confuse annoyed me the most as well, and I specifically took an hour or so or more(cant remember) to steal musks til i got enough for 3 armors for them..... It made me mad that much from Bad Breath.....
Powerful characters dying because they are poisoned and confused........ after 30-1hr of leveling and losing all that experience...

Confuseproof and Berserkproof are a must.
