Mini-guide on choosing targets

As sometimes new players venture by accident from their starting areas and are surprised to meet monsters 40 lvls above them, or they are exactly where they are supposed to be but suddenly meet wandering boss and attack it like any other target they met before I decided to post this mini-guide, so they will have some idea of what they are trying to kill before landing first hit
So
Before you attack something click it once and look at its name tag.
1) Regular monsters have normal label (brown, smooth edges) with level and species name on it. The colour of name tells you what level – compared to yours – that monster is and how safe it is to attack.
• White or light green – you can kill it, no problem
• Dark green – you can kill it easily but its not worth it, you will get little exp or drops, better look for white/light green targets
• Yellow – you can try it if you like challenge
• Orange, dark orange – leave it alone, better not even come close. [note: this guide is intended for inexperienced players, not for those who attack lvl 105 mobs for kicks and win... ]
2) Elite monsters - their label has little spiky ornaments on borders, level and species name. They are much harder to kill than regular monsters, have more life and hit harder, they are aggressive and will chase you if you try to run. Often they have group aggro too (you hit one, 4 come to hit you). Generally add 5 levels to level on their tag to know what you are fighting against... First elites you will see are probably monsters in your fb 19 dungeon or darkbreed wolfkins for daisy quest.
3) Miniboss – like elites only worse. Their label has little ornaments, and they have a name. Add 7-10 levels (First that comes to mind is Terrorclaw near Silver Pool, and he isnt that hard actually…)
4) Full boss – like miniboss only worse. Label has big swirly ornaments and they have name. Add 10-15 levels. And they often have few elite monsters as guards too, to make fight more challenging (advice: take down these adds first). Usually they are not soloable, squad other people and do boss together. First boss you meet at the end of fb 19.
5) World boss – like full boss only worse, much worse… Has ‘?’ instead of level, and skull symbol on its label, ofc big ornaments and name are a must. Not doable unless you are high level, have lots of time and bring friends. First you meet would be probably Sword Tamer, hes big and ugly, stands under Heavens Tear, try to not fly / run into him as its 1 shot death.
6) Twilight Temple bosses – labels look like these of world bosses, but they are doable, some even soloable. You meet them in Twilight Temple , usually at lvl 60.
That’s almost it, now two more notes:
• Monsters / bossess have their element (or lack of element) described on their label too, it shows what they are vulnerable against and what they are especially tough against, if they are magic its often the element of their attack. [wood – weak against metal, metal – weak against fire, fire – weak against water, water – weak against earth, earth – weak against wood, non-element – no special bonus but also no disadvantage.
• They sometimes have special features – look for yellow description under label. Weak – easy to kill but half exp, other types give almost double exp, but are harder to kill / more dangerous: sacrificial assault – low defense but high attack, increased attack/ increased magic attack – they hit harder, increased life – about 3 times more hp, increased defense – they are harder to kill with physical attack, increased magical resistance – they are harder to kill with magic, increased movement speed – they will get to you faster. Increased life boss is definitely unfair...
Hope this helps a little.
