==Passive monsters==

There are several monsters in Brighter Shores which can only be attacked [[Passive activities|passively]]. The icon designating passive monsters in indicated by this icon: [[File:Passive activity icon.png|18px]]. When attacking these monsters your player will continue attacking them until you decide to stop. Your player will even continue to kill them after you log out from the game. When killing these passive monsters, you will accumulate experience and money until you 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 non-passive monsters. It is recommended only to fight passive monsters once the player plans on logging off from the game.
Certain monsters in Brighter Shores can only be attacked [[File:Passive activity icon.png|18px]][[Passive activities|passively]]. Upon initiating combat, your player will continue attacking them, even while offline, until you 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==
==Aggressive monsters==
Alongside passive monsters, there are also aggressive monsters in Brighter Shores which actively attack if they spot the player. This is indicated by their red name, and a white exclamation mark '!' above their heads when they spot the player, giving the player a brief moment before they attempt to fight.
Certain active monsters are also 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.


As aggressive monsters attack players within their aggression radius, it is recommended to cast the [[Immunity]] spell beforehand if the monster's level is significantly higher than the player (or if the player is not properly equipped) so that combat doesn't initiate. Alternatively, players can drink a [[Fear|Fear Potion]] before going through locations to stop aggressive monsters from automatically attacking them.
As aggressive monsters attack players within their aggression radius, it is recommended to cast the [[Immunity]] spell beforehand if the player is in any way unable or unwilling to engage in combat with them, to avoid initiating 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 gains the [[Immunity]] spell effect for a brief period of time before the monsters can actively attack the player again. 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 isn't AFK enough to automatically log out.
