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.

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.

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

Currently only one-off quest bosses are available to fight, as displayed below.
