Monsters are not scattered at random; each one belongs to a spawn point. The quest system uses these spawn points too.
How spawn points work
- A spawn point usually holds 5 monsters.
- A slain monster comes back after about 20 seconds.
- Spawn points wake up when a player comes near and go to sleep when everyone leaves. That keeps the game smooth even with hundreds of monsters on a map.
Elite and famed monsters
- Every respawn has a small chance to be an elite.
- Much more rarely a famed monster appears. Famed monsters have 8 times the normal health and usually need a party.
Bosses
Boss monsters move into new phases when their health drops below set thresholds, and their behaviour changes as the fight goes on.
Loot
Click the chest icon next to a monster's name to see what it can drop, which makes it easier to decide what to hunt.
Note: the game is in development; values may change during beta testing.
