 [center][u][b]Monsters[/b][/u]

Monsters are the creatures that roam the world of Elder Tale. They live almost anywhere and attack those who dare to venture their path. A threat to the People of the Land, monsters are the main enemies of the Adventurers and a source of their income, experience and items. Most monsters leave meat or skin behind, while Raid Boss monsters drop equipment and valuable items. After the Catastrophe, though, Adventurers found that fighting them was much more difficult due to the physical and mental strength required. Monsters had little-to-no intelligence, however, making them easy to outsmart and control. However, it should be noted that monsters are gaining intelligence, beginning to use battle formations and training their members. Raid Bosses also refuse to remain in their respective zones, and will now wander around, and can team up with other Raid Bosses to kill adventurers more efficiently.[/center]

[center][b][u]Monster Ranks[/u][/b]
Monsters are divided into different ranks depending on their difficulty.

[b]Normal Rank[/b]
Most monsters belong to this rank. Designed to be easily defeated by Adventurers of the same level with simple skills and store bought equipment, these monsters are perfect for 1-on-1 fights.

[b]Party Rank[/b]
Monsters of this rank can be found mostly in dungeons. The Party Rank can be further divided into different ranks. These are Party x2, x3 up to x6. The number represents the Adventurers of the same level needed to fight the monster on equal terms. For instance, a monster with the rank of Party x4 would require four Adventurers of the same level.

[b]Raid Rank[/b]
Raid rank monsters can usually be found in the deepest parts of large dungeons and at the end of highly difficult quests. Similar to Party rank monsters, monsters of the Raid rank can be further classified into four: x1 up to x4. A x1 rank needs 24 people in a Full Raid while a x4 rank needs 96 people in a Legion Raid.

[b]Minion Rank[/b]
Monsters summoned by other monsters with Summoner techniques belong to the Minion rank. The lowest ranking monsters, monsters of the Minion rank are only two-thirds as strong as Normal monsters.[/center]
