Elite Monsters

Elite Monsters

Elite Monsters are empowered versions of ordinary monsters created by the map spawn system. Every eligible spawn rolls a chance to become one of three Elite tiers, gaining much higher combat stats and improved rewards.

Elite Tiers

Tier	Visual	Spawn Chance	HP	Armor	Damage	Speed	EXP	Loot
Elite I	Silver	0.87%	x2	x2	x1.5	x1.20	x1.5	x1.5*
Elite II	Yellow	0.70%	x3	x3	x2	x1.40	x2	x2*
Elite III	Red	0.53%	x4	x4	x2.5	x1.60	x3	x3*

* Current Elite loot rules: stackable items multiply the amount rolled, while non-stackable items multiply their drop chance. Elite loot no longer performs extra full loot-table rolls.
Speed: the multiplier is applied to the monster's base movement speed.

Damage scaling affects offensive monster attacks only. Healing values are not increased. The Loot multiplier uses the hybrid rules explained below.

Spawn & Lifetime

How an Elite appears

Only ordinary monsters created by the map spawn system receive the automatic Elite roll.
Monsters with less than 5 base EXP are excluded.
Current probabilities are 0.87% Elite I, 0.70% Elite II and 0.53% Elite III.
If no Elite tier is rolled, the monster remains normal: 97.90%.

15-minute Elite lifetime

An Elite Monster can remain alive for a maximum of 15 minutes.
The timer is independent of nearby players and the monster's idle state.
If it is still alive when the timer ends, it disappears with a poff effect.
There is no separate Elite respawn timer: the normal spawn slot respawns and rolls Elite status again.

Base Monster Respawn

The server uses an HP-based base respawn configuration. When a map spawn creates the replacement monster, that new monster receives a fresh Elite roll.

Configured HP Range	Base Respawn
0-49	1:00
50-60	1:30
61-99	2:00
100-150	2:30
151-299	3:00
300-499	4:00
500-900	5:00
901-1300	8:20
1301-1799	10:00
1800-2400	15:00
2401+	20:00

Online population also speeds up respawns: 1-99 players: +0%, 100-199: +10%, 200-299: +15%, 300+: +20% respawn speed. A monster will not respawn while a player can see its spawn position, and it respawns on its original tile.

Elite Loot Rules

Stackable items

The original drop chance stays unchanged. If the item drops, the rolled amount is multiplied by the Elite Loot multiplier.

Elite I x1.5 | Elite II x2 | Elite III x3

Non-stackable items

The amount stays normal, but the item's drop chance is multiplied by the Elite Loot multiplier, up to a maximum of 100%.

Elite I x1.5 | Elite II x2 | Elite III x3

Normal Elite loot still works with the server Loot Rate and player equipment Drop Bonus. Boosted Creature, Prey and Bounty loot systems retain their own additional rolls and use the Elite-adjusted loot where applicable.

Special Elite Drops

Special pouch rolls are separate from the monster's normal loot and are not increased by server Loot Rate or equipment Drop Bonus.

Special Drop	Requirement	Elite I	Elite II	Elite III
Green Magical Pouch	Base Max HP 100+	1%	3%	-
Purple Magical Pouch	Base Max HP 500+	-	-	5%
Gold Pouch	Base Max HP 500+	0.2%	0.3%	0.4%

Monsters with at least 500 base Max HP have a base 0.5% Refinement Essence roll. Elite Monsters multiply this independent roll by their Elite Loot multiplier.

Monster	Refinement Essence Chance
Normal	0.5%
Elite I	0.75%
Elite II	1.0%
Elite III	1.5%
