The updated monster list went up about a month ago to better inform folks of what monsters are available and what they are capable of, but that's not all - I am proud to announce that the starting beast list is also out as of today! What's the difference? Well, each topic explains it to some degree, but to summarize it, Monsters are creatures of darkness while Beasts are natural creatures - both can be very dangerous, but their origins are fundamentally different. Beasts as a whole are our way of continuing to diversify enemies while offering each element and class to shine in different situations, as well as opening up different kinds of topics and monster/beast hunting stories.
Now, you may notice that the beast list is a bit shorter - that's intentional. More beasts will be revealed over time in events and quests at which point they will be unlocked for people to spawn freely. So if you're REALLY looking forwards to, I dunno, just spitballing here, aquatic creatures like sayMurlocs Nereids or Sirens, or larger critters like the Kraken, or even weirder stuff from folklore, don't count them out just yet. And don't forget that we are still taking suggestions over time on that stuff!
While this will also be clarified in each topic, I would like to note some mechanics here too for simplicity.
-Monsters are more vulnerable to Silver weaponry and all Light elemental magic. A few monsters may have additional specific weaknesses, such as Tarvos and their vulnerability to Horsekiller weapons, or special resistances, such as Gargoyles being very resilient against ALL physical damage.
-Beasts are typically vulnerable to at least one element of Anima magic, varies by species but you can Pokemon it, but ARE NOT weak to Horsekiller weaponry which are specialized against mounted units.
So go out there and have an epic mage duel with an elemental or arm wrestle a drunk minotaur!
If you have further questions or future concerns, please feel free to ask here or via mod PM.
