Monsters are classed into two main categories, active and passive. Killing a monster rewards [[experience]], [[coin]]s, and a chance to drop equipment of variable [[rarity]] and randomized stats. The level of equipment dropped range between the level of the monster killed and the level of the monster immediately preceeding it in the same episode. Certain mobs throughout the game may also occasionally drop items used for other professions.

As the player progresses through combat professions, higher level monster [[variant|variants]] will be unlocked, and [[Knowledge|knowledge points]] may be spent to unlock passive monsters as offline training methods.
Normal monsters have vulnerabilities and/or immunities to certain elemental [[Attack Style|attack style]]s, as displayed on their card. Monsters are immune to its own elemental attack style, and it is generally inadvisable to fight a monster with a weapon matching its elemental immunity.

==== Stationary Monsters ====
Certain monsters are stationary and do not move from the tile they spawn on. If these monsters do not possess a ranged attack, it is possible to retreat out of their attack range. If a player so desires, they may kill these monsters at a much lower combat level, albeit very inefficiently.
Certain monsters are stationary and do not move from the tile they spawn on. If these monsters do not possess a ranged attack, it is possible to retreat out of their attack range without disengaging combat, allowing the player to heal or otherwise regenerate their health safely. If a player so desires, they may kill these monsters at a much lower combat level at the cost of reduced kills/hr.


==== Bosses ====
Certain monsters are bosses, which will be indicated on their card. Bosses boast increased HP compared to normal monsters of the same level, and some have access to area of effect attacks as indicated by orange highlighted tiles and a blue cast bar above their combat panel. Currently, bosses are only found as part of [[quests]] and thus may only be killed once. Most of the named bosses that are currently ingame do not have any elemental vulnerabilities or immunities.
