What does that legend mean. I've noticed it in TT bosses and world bosses. Do they have the potential to be tamed? As in 1 in a million chance u could succeed? Does anyone know of it being done?

    It's not a tame icon as non-veno classes can see it too.
    It's a skull to indicate that the mob is level 150 (shows as level [?]) and is therefore dangerous! b:shocked

    I thought it was the mob showing you what happened to the head of the previous person that tried to attack it.
    Too often we loose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you, it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and slap that mother#$@%#^! upside the head.

    "Through the darkness light can always emerge, it is only when the unwilling come upon this light that fear takes over. Emerging from this darkness takes more then courage, it takes faith in ones own mind and more importantly in ones own heart. To deny the light is to deny yourself the feeling of true happiness and true peace within your own soul. Denying your own happiness and your own soul is denying all that one has to live for."

    mobs that have that silver icon also take full damage from veno pets (TT veno OP-ness ftw)

    also, only town guards with this symbol attack players who are rednamed

    That icon means the mob takes a reduction in damage from players. Pets bypass this reduction. I think its 75%.

    Lvl [?] means the drops from the mob are always the same, no matter what the player's level who kills it.

    All mobs can have player reduction, based on level differences, so incorrect.

    In the link provided, look at the final rightmost column "Damage multiplier". If you're even 5 levels under the mob, the damage reduction begins (at 90% damage). This trend continues until you're 40 or more levels below the mobs (at 25% damage). [?] mobs are considered level 150 in terms of this chart. And yes as stated pets ignore this damage reduction, whether its on a [?] mob or any normal mob thats 5+ levels above the player.

    Correct but for the wrong reasoning. Again it has to do with level differences.

    Look at the second to right most column "Probability of getting items". As longer as you are below the mobs level, or up to 3 levels above it, no reduction occurs. The fact that its [?] doesnt mean no reduction occurs in a defacto sense. However in order to start nerfing the drop rate, the player would have to exceed level 150 by 3 or more levels, which isnt possible.


    [?] are not level 150 mobs in a practical sense. They just act as level 150 in terms of charting out anything on the above link in dealing with comparitive levels to the players attacking them.

    I'm sure there's no difference between what you meant to post and what I corrected it to show, aside from me adding in extra information... which was the point of my bothering to do so in the first place.

    However, anyone who read your post and took it at face value without knowing any better would be completely misguided. At face value, it's unclear and rather misleading to those who don't know any better, and would simply make you look foolish to those who do know better.

    As you put it, "Nice try b:bye"
