Editing Monsters

'''Monsters''' are the NPCs (Non Player Characters) which can be attacked by the [[Player character|Player]]. They can be fought with their respective [[Episodes|episode]] [[combat]] [[profession]] using [[armor]], [[weapons]], and [[potions]]. Monsters may drop equipment and [[items]] for the purpose of becoming stronger, making [[money]], gathering [[Professions|profession]] materials (such as [[potion reagents]]), or completing [[quests]].

Monsters in [[Brighter Shores]] scale in comparison to a player's combat [[Professions|profession]] [[Experience|level]] 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” from the right click menu. Players will have to access this menu for every monster they attack, if they wish to farm the previous variants.

Each [[Episodes|episode]] contains their own set of [[monsters]] separate from each other, which can only be effectively fought by said episodes current combat professions; [[File:Guard map icon.png|width=22x22]][[Guard]], [[File:Scout map icon.png|width=22x22]][[Scout]], [[File:Minefighter map icon.png|width=22x22]][[Minefighter]], and [[File:Watchperson map icon.png|width=22x22]][[Watchperson]].

== Monster List ==

For a more comprehensive list of all monsters and their variants, please refer to their respective episode's combat professions which are linked in the opening paragraph for this page.

Each monster has several variants, click on a respective monster below to see a full list of it's variants spanning from [[Experience|Levels 0 - 500]].

== Passive Monsters ==

Certain monsters in Brighter Shores can only be attacked [[File:Passive small icon.png|18px]] [[Passive activities|passively]]. These monsters will always have the same combat level as the profession level required to unlock them, and do not possess elemental vulnerabilities. Although the information cards of passive monsters suggest they have elemental immunities and attack styles, in practice this is irrelevant as they cannot physically harm the player, and the player's damage type will be converted into {{AttackStyle|impact}} regardless of the actual element of the weapon that was chosen. Therefore, it is always advisable to pick the weapon with the highest strength value possible regardless of element.

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>.

As with all passive activities, there is a brief preparation phase upon initiating the activity during which the player '''must not''' disconnect. Once this preparation phase is over and the activity has started, the player may then safely log off.

==Aggressive Monsters==

[[File:Tentacle Aggro.jpg|right|frameless|width=268x268]]

Certain active monsters are aggressive and will attack the player on sight. This is indicated by their red name. When aggressive monsters spot the player, a white exclamation mark '!' will appear above their heads, giving the player a brief moment before they attempt to fight. Aggressive monsters have an aggression radius of five tiles in any direction, equivalent to an 11 by 11-tile square centered around them. This is equivalent to the maximum range of the player's ranged weapon.

When entering an aggressive room, it is recommended to simply run straight through the room unless entering [[Gassy Cave]] or [[Moderate Mineshaft]] which contain stationary [[Floor Tentacle|tentacles]] (''safe path show in image on right hand side'')

<u>If the player enters combat, they can quickly cast [[Immunity]]</u> (hotkey: '''ESC''').

Players can also drink a [[Fear|Fear Potion]] before entering to prevent themselves from being targeted. Keep in mind that should an aggressive monster engage in combat with the player mid-Immunity cast, the cast will be cancelled, combat will begin and the player would need to re-cast the spell.

When defeating an aggressive monster, the player will gain 30 seconds of [[immunity]]. However, this will not begin ticking down until the player moves or otherwise performs any action (including sorting their inventory, clicking on the tile they are currently standing on, and looting / opening loot menus). Moving the camera or the mouse in any other way that does not result in player movement or inventory sorting (including opening in-game overlay menus) will not trigger the countdown.

Aggressive monsters can be used for semi-AFK (Away From Keyboard) activities, whereby the player can still pick up loot from defeating the monsters but does not wish to fully log out. Though keep in mind, the immunity timer after each fight will limit the effectiveness of this strategy. A full list of all aggressive monsters, with their respective episode and combat profession can be found below.
