=== Passive monsters ===
=== Passive monsters ===
Passive monsters may be fought as an offline activity and combat is initiated in a similar way to that of active monsters. Passive monsters cannot physically harm the player, but require weapons with a minimum strength rating of the monster's <math>Combat Level + 20</math> to fight. Players may not select any weapons below this strength rating. The combat level of passive mobs is always equal to its unlock level. Presently, no passive monsters have any elemental vulnerabilities, although some will have an elemental immunity. As such it is recommended to use {{AttackStyle|impact}} weapons to maximise damage output against these monsters.

Certain passive monsters will list an elemental immunity, however this is irrelevant as the player's damage is always converted to {{AttackStyle|impact}} regardless of the actual element of the weapon chosen.
