They can be fought with their respective [[Episodes|episode]] [[combat]] [[profession]] using [[armor]], [[weapons]], and [[potions]].

Monsters in Brighter Shores scale in comparison to a player's combat skill in their respective [[Episodes|episode]] as [[Variant|variants]].

Players will have to access this menu for every monster they attack, if they wish to farm the previous variants.

Each episode contains its own set of monsters separate from each other, which can only be fought by the combat profession of the episode -[[File:Guard map icon.png|width=22x22]][[Guard]] for [[Hopeport]], [[File:Scout map icon.png|width=22x22]][[Scout]] for [[Hopeforest]], [[File:Minefighter map icon.png|width=22x22]][[Minefighter]] for [[Mine of Mantuban]], and [[File:Watchperson map icon.png|width=22x22]][[Watchperson]] for [[Crenopolis]].


Monsters are usually immune to the element that they attack with, with the exception of [[File:Impact_damage_icon.png|18px]] [[Impact]] monsters, which have no immunity.

== Active monsters ==
Active monsters must be fought by the player while they remain online, and can be separated into neutral and [[aggressive]] monsters. The names of neutral monsters are displayed in orange, and they will not attack the player until provoked.

== 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.
Unlike neutral monsters, the names of aggressive monsters are displayed in red and they will attempt to attack any player not affected by [[Immunity]] on sight, within a range of 5 tiles in any direction, with [[Floor Tentacle|a few]] [[Spiky Ball|exceptions]]. It is recommended to bring [[Fear|Fear Potions]] to avoid unwanted encounters entirely.

After killing an aggressive monster, the player will be granted 30 seconds of Immunity, which will begin to tick down if certain actions are performed. Once the timer reaches zero, another aggressive monster will automatically attempt to engage the player in combat.

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.

==Aggressive monsters==
== List of monsters by episode ==
For a comprehensive list of all monsters and their [[Variant|variants]], please refer to their respective episode's combat professions as indicated. Click on a respective monster below to see a full list of its variants spanning from [[Experience|levels 0 - 500]].
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.

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.

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 are a good choice of combat 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.

==Boss monsters==
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.

Boss monsters are indicated as such at the bottom of their information card, below their attack style.

Monsters are non-player characters which can be attacked by the player, using their respective episode combat profession, with armor, weapons, and potions. Monsters may drop equipment and items for the purpose of becoming stronger, making money, gathering profession materials (such as potion reagents), or completing quests.

Monsters scale in comparison to a player's combat profession level in their respective episode as variants. Once a player meets the unlock level of a stronger variant, it automatically becomes the default monster and previous 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 episode contains its own set of monsters separate from each other, which can only be fought by the combat profession of the episode -Guard for Hopeport, Scout for Hopeforest, Minefighter for Mine of Mantuban, and Watchperson for Crenopolis.

Monsters are usually immune to the element that they attack with, with the exception of Impact monsters, which have no immunity.

Active monsters[edit | edit source]

Active monsters must be fought by the player while they remain online, and can be separated into neutral and aggressive monsters. The names of neutral monsters are displayed in orange, and they will not attack the player until provoked.

Main article: Aggression

Unlike neutral monsters, the names of aggressive monsters are displayed in red and they will attempt to attack any player not affected by Immunity on sight, within a range of 5 tiles in any direction, with a few exceptions. It is recommended to bring Fear Potions to avoid unwanted encounters entirely.

After killing an aggressive monster, the player will be granted 30 seconds of Immunity, which will begin to tick down if certain actions are performed. Once the timer reaches zero, another aggressive monster will automatically attempt to engage the player in combat.

Passive Monsters[edit | edit source]

Certain monsters can only be attacked 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 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 CombatLevel+20.

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.
