7.3.1 Superior Denizens
Superior denizens are special denizens that are more powerful than the ordinary. They have better stats, resistances, and are sometimes equipped with special actions that make hunting them more dangerous. Spotting them is as simple as checking IH or INFO HERE which will reveal their state. An example of a superior denizen from INFO HERE: "elderdaemon365639" an Elder lava daemon (boss). "elemental203051" a large smoke elemental. "elemental202417" a large smoke elemental. "daemon237024" a glowing lava daemon. Superior denizens currently consist of veterans, elites, bosses, and conscripts. While all the former types can be found in the wild, conscripts specifically relate to conscripted denizens by cities, such as guards and soldiers, and won't be tagged on INFO HERE. All denizens considered a superior denizen get the following benefits in battle, providing they have not been set to a custom value: - Maximum health is doubled. - Worth double as much experience. - Can hold more items. - Are more likely to resist or overcome debuff effects like fear. - Cannot be knocked unconscious. - Damage they deal have a larger randomized range. - Always drop gold if able to do so. Veterans -------- Veterans are tougher than your ordinary denizen, but aren't too much of a threat beyond that. They may have a special attack or two that you may need to be wary of. Elites ------ Elites are their own system and can be learned about in HELP ELITE THREATS. They get a lot more benefits on top of the defaults. Bosses ------ As the name implies, they are often the pinnacle of denizen power for their level range. They quite often test what you know about the healing system of Aetolia and your ability to react to the combos they put in place. Bosses get some additional benefits along with all the benefits above: - Are generally much more powerful. - Usually have custom attacks, summons, and combos to deal with. - Maximum health is five times higher if not custom set. - Worth five times as much experience. - Focus the person who deals the most damage, rather then last to hit it. * This includes healing done as well. - Has further resistance to debuff effects like fear. - Drop five times as much gold if able to do so. Conscripts ---------- Conscripts are guards and soldiers recruited by cities to defend their walls and territories. See HELP GUARDS and HELP DIVISIONS for more information.
