Editing Monsters

Monsters in Brighter Shores scale in comparison to a player's combat skill in their respective [[Episodes|episode]] as [[Variant|variants]]. Once a player meets the unlock level of a stronger [[variant]], it automatically becomes the default monster and previous [[Variant|variants]] can be accessed by selecting “Past Action”.

== Passive monsters ==

Upon initiating combat, the player will continue attacking them, even while offline, until they decide to stop. Killing passive monsters will accumulate experience and money while the player is offline until they log back into the game, up to a maximum of 24 hours. However, the rate of experience and money gained is much less than fighting active monsters. It is recommended only to begin fight passive monsters immediately before logging off.

Passive monsters must be fought using a weapon with a minimum strength rating of their <math>Combat Level + 20</math>.

==Aggressive monsters==

When entering an aggressive room, it is recommended to cast the [[Immunity]] spell as soon as possible if the player is unwilling to engage in combat. Alternatively, players can drink a [[Fear|Fear Potion]] before entering aggressive rooms to prevent themselves from being targeted.

Boss monsters are unique named enemies, currently only found as one-off encounters within some [[quests]]. Bosses may possess increased HP compared to a normal monster of the same level, and may also have access to mechanics that the player will need to deal with appropriately to avoid taking significant damage.
